BucketHead.7432 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 It just makes no sense, they wanted to nerf pvp i guess but why touch pve? Holo was already a low to mid tier spec in fractals and people now legit dont want holo in their high KP parties anymore. I have 500+ KP and people won't take me into 250+KP parties. It arguably does less damage than reaper and can't even use 1/4 of their skills every 15-20 seconds because of the dumb changes.I play nothing but holo and enjoyed this class since the release of pof(which was the reason i started playing again after quitting in 2012) and have no intention to reroll. These changes did nearly nothing to pvp holo if that was their intention and only messed up pve holo which was already considered weak by "elite" parties.

Nephalem.8921 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 It already had lower dps than reaper in fractals before this patch. Its just ridiculous now. They double nerfed holo. Dynamic heat scaling was a net nerf and disabling toolbelts is just completely dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbop.9706 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I hear you OP. Sadly, the Arenanet balance team hear nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrForz.1953 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 The mood is the same everywhere it seems, except maybe for Warriors because they're starting to suffer an awful case of Stockholm syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunateric.3708 Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I think no kit Holo was hit the hardest by the toolbelt lockdown because those CDs are fairly short and you spend a fair amount of time with no access to them with PBM.You could try Enhanced Capacity and juggle the heat but from my testing it has two major issues:Burst is lackluster and you'd have to compete with two burst monsters that got buffs, DH and Weaver.You lose all the Laser's Edge mod when leaving forge. If it worked similar to Soul Barbs it would probably be less egregious.But they didn't think that when implementing the change so let's stick with this until next balance patch (actually no, I'll just play something else)I hated these changes and the worst part is we'll have to wait a whole balance cycle to see if it maybe gets addressed. Both power variants of Holo are parsing low 30k in best scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
