Can we quit this game mode now?

Give me back my boon removals and corruptions then we talk. oh wait that is the opposite of what Anet wants, nvm rip.

Target painter doesnt kill a slightly above average thief who presses buttons, stop coping would you?

Pointless and not so impactful changes really aside from the Death Magic buffs. Terror is still worthless as a trait nowadays when you cannot guarantee the full damage, nor are you able to inflect it with Stability and Resistance on the targets. Furthermore, cleansing Terror ( not counting stunbreak) is too easy when the weapons and on shroud entry traits lost boon corruptions and boon removal which helped overwhelm cleanses and protect you Terror from being cleansed. Curses other two GM traits are more guaranteed to work whenever you land them instead of once every pink moon. overall, these proposed updates change nothing and open up no new options for the class, entirely ineffective. Heck the relics update affects the class more LOL.

Well no more Restorative Illusions plus Blurred Inscriptions, a classic combo for many builds is no more. So aside from kinda reverting the old nerfs to Bountiful Disillusionment, all these new balance changes are straight up big net negative. Also Chaos Aura spam and Confusion on evade are too passive of mechanics and do not compensate for the power lost. I am not sure about the Axe changes but other than that these are horrible changes to the traits.

So rest in peace Illusionary Inspiration?

If it is an inexperienced player then it is reasonable to assume since they will not look at their condi bar nor the tick damage. Besides Untamed does inflict alot of conditions from ambushes and unleashed pet skills (also Axe mainhand) and you get a free poison field and finisher for weakness and vulnerability. For tankyness yeah the build's utility skills and elite can give you alot of mitigation but nabs will mistake it for stats only. But yeah ranger is tanky, has sustain and naturally inflicts alot of conditions and idiots will not think to examine their bar and tick damage nor the barrier and damage mitigation effects on the ranger. hmm yeah you cele bro.

necromancer lacks good finishers cuz Anet is stuck at 2013 necro philosophy for design

Where are the random necro nerfs? Unacceptable! Get on it water bottle man!

I dont have too many problems with most builds but I do have ones i do not wish to fight and game mechanics I hate. - Any Daredevil build. This is a build I despise because of the combination of the mobility, disengage potential, stealth spam, almost free cleanse to everything and low cooldowns. You have to burst them down very quickly or hope they mess up somehow. -Deadeye cuz stealth on dodge and high range pressure which includes immob spam is very fun to fight against. same as Daredevil. I carry target painters for this one mess. -Any build that can cast behind them without having to face the target or with no animations and no cast time. Grenades, Mortar shells, Arcane skills, Scepter / Focus ele, cluster bomb, Daze glyph, Spinal Shivers, steal, etc you get the point. -Cele Hammer cata and Cele untamed. just because they are not as popular as other cele builds doesnt mean they are not even stronger than the popular Renegade, Virt and Harbinger builds, you just dont see them. the insane stacking of damage reduction, 25 might that isnt short lived, projectile hate etc yeah that isnt fun. try existing next to a hammer cata without melting or damaging untamed. -Chill and slow whatever the build cuz it makes the game play like kitten but that is just personal.

Play poison Untamed, dont get hit too many times with Skull Grinder plus Akeem. Drazeh's Condizerker got farmed in duels on stream against Boyce's condi Untamed. Isn't Hammer Cata with Antitoxin able to contend with zerker and has a bigger impact?

thank you

You do realize that raid legendary armor is not the only legendary armor in the game. PvP and WvW legendary versions do not have visual noise and are not shiny. As for weapons you will just have to deal with it.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Besides it would promot legendary gear if they made it available to all beta test toons

you might as well put it in the garbage can right next to Firebrand in PvP
