DonArkanio.6419 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I am actually happy that ANet decided to make some heavy steps in terms of balance. Last patches seem to show that they start to get the idea of what they want from Traits and Boons.Condi is my next guess.I don't think we are near that sweet spot but we're definitely getting there.Normalization of boon application per class and making traits be less gameplay effectiveness is, in my opinion, a very good thing for the game. Traits effects can be sometimes hard to read in-combat and the powerspikes they provide are huge.I also love the idea of reducing the variety of boons per class to make all of them shine in specific scenarios. This will allow to really feel the impact of having certain boons - so it doesn't feel like one huge passive effects (both in PvE and PvP). The huge thing I'd love to see would be Utility and Weapon Skills doing one thing, not multiple. We have a wide variety of skills in game and some of them feel very useless because there are other that can do similar thing but better, because of some additional effects. This would allow for more diversity across skills actually.Second thing would be Condis and Power damage output. This needs serious adjustments and I Hope that it will get fixed on the way.I just want to leave it here as a little letter of appreciation for ANet. I do think they are doing a good job and I hope they just follow that good path and keep at it. So, thanks ANet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safandula.8723 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Lol, did last patch change anything? They should be making much bigger nerfs than they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skotlex.7580 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 that last balance patch was the one that, according to the forum posts, totally gutted mesmer in pve (signet of inspiration, mimic) and PvP (warp portal) so I'd say that yes, they are taking some bold steps to adjust the game now.

Safandula.8723 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Mimic change was stupid imo, chrono needed nerf that's for sure. But pvp doesn't change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazySummer.2568 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 the last patch hardly did anything in regards to boon normalization. Several specs are still shitting out every single boons with very little effort, with notable offenders being fb, soulbeast, holos, and maybe chaos mesmers.are you confusing what they said with what they actually did? they can say a lot of things but from what i see, it always takes them ages to do whatever it is they said they'll do, which basically means it'll never be done.

Bazsi.2734 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Okay I think I know how this post happened. OP started to type this out in 2012, fell into a coma, and awoke just recently... and first thing he did afer waking up was post his comment without checking what year it is.
