JusticeRetroHunter.7684 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Tempestuous Aria: This trait no longer increases the maximum number of targets of shout skills.Shout Skills: Increased the maximum number of targets from 5 to 10 in PvE only.Tempest officially gutted.

WindBlade.8749 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 tempest was not even "meta" or everywhere, why they kill whole profession of gamemode instead of balancing them out, there is litteraly no reason to use them except if you really want to have strong heal now ....

It's just that over the border you have the same cleansing and healing (good) with added stealth, purity of purpose, and better superspeed uptime. Eles need some arbitrary utility to compete with that, and/or scrappers need their extra utility brought down to the utility level of eles.

Jski.6180 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Tempest IS still better then core ele by a lot at all points of the game but now there no real reason to use shouts on tempest its just a core ele that can overload lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eles need some arbitrary utility to compete with that, and/or scrappers need their extra utility brought down to the utility level of eles.I mean, Tempest was bad already after the OW nerfs, but they at least had their fire condition cleanse build or whatever...This change will reduce that condition cleanse output by half...on top of the healing that is now also reduced by half again. In addition to that, because everything is now 5 man target skills, there will be no space for tempest when the much superior scrapper which will be able to cleanse at least 5x more conditions will be picked always.Every Tempest support player knows that this change is the killer of support tempest in WvW...it was the one change that brought it into the "viable" catagory and its been undone with no repentance.

Auras and there applied effects are not that good support and now they are worst. Wvw is becoming an all boon only game play no one can be stun or rooted to land real dmg so all the dmg can come from pure burst you cant see making what dose kill players harder to deal with and less fun over all. This is the WORST way to balance this game. You know when a tempest runs on you to be ready for a aoe root shouts as its a massive risk reward but now you just have ele root 5 ppl from a skill that you cant see and from a range its just silly balancing.@RisenHowl.2419 said:tempest shouts were nerfed because 10 target 3s immob was too strong by a wide margin.If you let a tempest get that close to land a full 10 target root that more on you then the ele as the class is still an ele lacking a lot of effects that let ppl get in with out getting destroyed.Just a compel lack of understanding risk reward ele is the highest risk class to get in melee ranged in the game there should be a real reward for going in with that risk for the tempest class.

Nobody is gonna take those crappy skills into zerg/gvg. If Aftershock was that OP, they would have nerfed Aftershock...not the trait that effects the entirety of all Tempest builds.It's obvious what happened here. They are normalizing 10 target cap builds to be 5 target across the board, in an attempt to "balance" the game mode...except they don't understand that this will just drive Tempest out of the meta, and make Guardian/Scrapper/ the required comp for every single party.
