Tuesday's Skill Update
Jun. 27th, 2013 10:24 pmSo earlier this Tuesday was the major balance update for GW2. Plus another Living Story update -- but the rewards for this segment doesn't interest me much so I don't care. The skill update on the other hand...
Elementalist - Cantrips got nerfed but that really only affects PvP and thus doesn't matter for me. Staff got buffed which is great for me since I've gone back full circle to main-ing staff.
Guardian - Mainly buffs, especially in WvW context. But nothing touching my build has changed. *shrug*
Ranger - Got nerfed, because of PvP. My poor ranger! Pets lost damage across the board (WTH Anet) and shortbow went down to 900 range. *cries*
Mesmer - Got nerfed too, but it's still Queen of endgame PvE so there's not too much outrage about it.
Thief - Nerfed. No longer has any 1200 range weapon. WTH. o_O
Engineer - Overall response from the public seems to be that engineers got buffed. Yay. Unfortunately mine isn't far enough to try out the traits that got changed, so I can't really confirm myself.
Overall, I'm glad I got my mesmer and thief to level 80 already. ^_^ My mesmer is also tricked out in his gear. I'm now slowly working on getting my thief her set of gear. No hurries. The engineer is sloooowly making her way toward lvl 50.
