GW2 Post-patch status
Jun. 23rd, 2015 09:52 pmWent through my PCs after the major patch and here are my initial reactions:
My ele is doing really well. Just tweaking a bit with her existing gear, and she's good in HP/armor. Damage stats are doing great too, especially compared to everyone else so far. Also, most of the traits I wanted were in two lines, and the third choice was still pretty obvious above the fourth choice trait line.
Ranger is...okay, I guess. I've been sorta able to get the build I want. The buffs to ranger pet and pet skills I really liked, since I like pets. According to the forums, bleeding is underwhelming on ranger, so not considering going condition. Statwise... I can stand to ditch some toughness, actually, and gain some power. Hm... maybe exchange the knights chest/legs pieces for...berserker?
Mesmer is in much the same boat as ranger. Trait picks are ok. Stats are a bit low in power; I should probably swap out the cavalier rings for something berserkerish.
Guardian... ugh, I gave up on making a build for now. I hear from the forums that a fire-focused condi build is like way waaaaay OP right now, but that's likely the first thing to get nerfed, so I don't want to invest in condi gear/build just yet. Still, I am going to have to overhaul some of her gear - existing stats are high in toughness and way too low in HP, and somewhat low on power. Until I know what the guardian meta is going to end up though, I don't know yet if I want to swap to celestial or carrion or something else.
Engineer... surprisingly I was able to decide on a trait build. Already have celestial outfit so can take advantage of the currently OP state of conditions. Could still stand to trade out some toughness for power though. Hm.. maybe swap out rabid accessories for sinister? Well, will see if anything gets nerfed before I throw the time and charged quartz into crafting sinister jewelry.
Necro - I heard on the forums that the corruption skills were horribad, but blood stuff is supposed to be good and I think I got a good trait build working. Stats-wise, the only thing I could maybe change is to swap out the soldiers rings for...I dunno, cavalier?
Thief... have an ok build for now for utility purposes. Stat wise it's in as bad a position as guardian, with way too little HP and not enough power. Will need to figure something out there, ugh.
Warrior... well she's still in rare gear set, so not gonna worry about that one yet.
