This page has all upcoming changes nicely formatted with wiki links.
What do you think of those changes?
- Ranger: i’m super excited about those changes, particularly druid. Looks like druid will be come super op heal support with those changes and i’m VERY interested in the dps and condi alac options. Curious about quickness untamed too.
- Engineer - on the fence with quickness via leap/blast. On one hand it’s great there is no more need to spam gyros. On the other i very much like the fact that spamming gyros also gives superspeed to allies. Can’t have it all i guess
I play Thief Daredevil and it seems I just get to do a little bit more damage in PvE with my P/P :D
Nice! glad the patch works out well for you. I played a bit of staff and p/p daredevil in open world. with invigorating precision and lifesteal food it was really doing nice damage and staying alive. My only issue was, any cc cut off my healing source (attacking) and thief being one of lowest hp classes, even with marauders, was dead fast :)
I haven’t really done the math, but I’m fairly hopeful about condition quickness berserker. The rework of Heat the Soul is a massive nerf to touch though, I hope they consider buffing the skills to compensate (and baseline the cooldown reductions).
Hyped about the Guardian cool downs! Mained Guardian since Beta; in every game mode - been in Firebrand jail (PvE/WvW) since PoF. The cool down reductions will make my aHeal WB a bit better. It runs fine in Fracts (T4/CM) Strikes, and even raids but the extra pumping of the heals is gonna be nice on things like boneskinner PUG.
Glad it works out for you! I used to play a bit hfb in fractals long time ago, but then fell off. Recently check out condi quickness firebrand (when mantras were in spam mode) and… it felt crazy spammy lol i was overwhelmed
One thing i never liked about guardian are cast times. Much of the weapon skills feel super slow to actually cast, even with quickness. This is particularly visible when using gs5 to pull enemies/do cc - how much time you have to spend “doing” gs5 (i understand it’s dual function, this is just for illustration)
Not a fan of the Druid changes for WvW builds. Ancient seeds was really fun to play. However I am interested to see its heal and alacrity options in fractals and raids.
I don’t like what they did with heal scourge.
I love engineer. I am glad they made elixirs unblockable. I can’t believe it took them 10 years to do it, lol. However the combo fields will be interesting to see how the builds and rotations turn out.
Condition virtuoso is a really strong pick for a class that basically doesn’t have much of a rotation. I remember also condi tempest being very easy to play if doing cc is not your thing, haha! Do check out “beginner” tab for snowcrows those builds are really easy and have progression levels, first level of each is usually plenty damage: https://snowcrows.com/builds?profession=any&category=beginner
