At some point you will have to stop removing amulets xD. If you gonna remove mender, think about specs that rely on healing power in order to work (druid theoretically). Problem with support specs in GW2 could be that they do too much at the same time. Healing, boons, damage mitigation (projectile blocks and stuff), condi cleanse and rezzes. Rather give them good access to for example 2 of these things and tone down the rest. This could also create the opportunity for multiple support specs to be somewhat equally viable instead of always 1 being superior.

No I play trough cable.

Hi all, Since January I have a lot of problems with my connection in GW2. I get a lot of ping spikes and lags all the time, sometimes more severe than other times but its always there. It made the game unplayable for me. Sometimes I disconnect as well. When I do some online internet speed tests, the connection appears to be stable with a low ping. I don't play any other online games on this PC, but on my Xbox (that uses the same connection), I don't have any problems. Before January, the performance in GW2 seemed to be just fine. Does anyone have an idea on how to find the cause of the problem? Much appreciated.

So in short: are they balanced.

I would ask people to just ask 1 or 2 questions since otherwise it might become a messy maze in here. My question is what Anets vision is on the current status of the tradeoffs that elite specs are supposed to have and whether they think that the impact of these tradeoffs are balanced between all professions.

Deadeye shouldnt be a thing in any gamemode.

Imagine thinking that Druid CA's "shiny button" has a 15sec cooldown.

What did you smoke my man? The good stuff, obviously. The numbers they tweaked aren't small, they're quite significant. But they arguably didn't tweak enough. You can heal more now, have another immob bomb, and can reliably use glyphs to condi cleanse (with the trait). In other words, you don't need to slot additional condi cleanse beyond 2 glyphs, and the Celestial trait. If you understood this, you'd see that the side-noder capability of the druid got some serious buffs.a 0.5sec immob increase on an insignificant weapon actually is insignificant.you said they pushed support capabilities of druid... tell me when and where. the trait casts LESSER seed of life which doesnt state to have an increased condi cleanse as well. If you understood this, you'd see that these buffs wont really matter. But yeh we cant complain. After seeing nerfs every single balance patch, druid players should be happy with this I suppose.

I quickly skipped through your article but I didnt see anything about healing power coefficients, which are way too low now on druid skills. Mender amulet isnt even a correct choice anymore now for Druid in a lot of cases, which says a lot. And the comparison with engineer healing output without a healing power amulet is correct one to illustrate the poor situation of Druid at the moment. This doesnt leave out the fact tho that Druid has gotten a better place in the meta since the large patch, but for the wrong reasons basically.

Imagine being a dev and trying to read feedback from the forums.

Shiyo should absolutely never be allowed to post on the forums.

They wont give druid dps, as the quite recent nerf of pet dmg by 20% indicates. They just figured they had to reduce all healing coefficients with the big patch, so they did that unnecesarily to druid as well. You should aim for better support and sustain capabilities, I highly doubt they would give the spec any dps. Also, we have other traitlines for that. It would make more sense to buff its support than its dps.

Decent nerfs overall, sadly they overlooked condithief. Which is by itself always a spec that exists due to overlooked things.

None of the more recent druid nerfs had any clear motivation (in pvp at least).
