Предметы

Умения профессий

Кредит за убийство и трофеи были небольшими для игроков, ориентированных на поддержку, а мы хотим вознаграждать игроков за помощь союзникам, так что мы серьезно увеличили получение общего кредита за участие. Вам все еще надо зацепить противника, чтобы бонусный кредит за поддержку начал действовать; простое стояние в стороне и раздавание благ – это не тот геймплей, который будет вознаграждаться, но это изменение даст больше возможностей и наград для ориентированных на поддержку игроков в групповом бою.
- Увеличен кредит за поддержку, дающийся игрокам, на 50% за наложение благ, снятие состояний, исцеление и воскрешение.
Блага и состояния
В этом обновлении, мы переделываем рвение в благо. Если хотите узнать подробности, смотрите на официальном форуме пост с темой "Alacrity: Time for a Change".
- Рвение: Рвение теперь является благом. Бонус к скорости перезарядки был уменьшен с 33% до 25%.

- Замешательство: Серьезно перенесен урон этого состояния с компонента по урону со временем в компонент по урону за использование умений. Вклад с урона от состояний был убран с компонента по урону со временем и перераспределен в компонент по урону за использование умений. Это состояние остается разделенным между PvE и PvP/WvW.
Конвертация благ и состояний: С добавлением рвения в систему благ, также были изменены таблицы умений и черт, которые конвертируют состояния в блага и наоборот. Состояния, накладываемые при конвертации блага, в некоторых случаях были ослаблены, где они были слишком силы.
- Рвение теперь конвертируется в 3 секунды заморозки.
- Сопротивление теперь конвертируется в 2 секунды обездвиживания.

Элементалист
В этом обновлении, мы искали возможность улучшить урон от меча Ткача и перенести его высокие исцеляющие аспекты больше в стихию воды. В том же духе, мы уменьшили исцеление от Riptide и увеличили базовые значения исцеления и вклад от силы исцеления у Aqua Siphon. Дополнительно, мы хотели улучшить редко используемые умения-печати и улучшить Glyph of Storms, так что некоторые бури имеют лучшее ситуационное использование через дифференцированные перезарядки.

Пассивная форма этой печати теперь уменьшает длительность входящих состояний на 20% вместо снятия состояний. Уменьшена длительность заморозки с 4 до 3 секунд. Уменьшена перезарядка с 25 до 20 секунд. Это умение теперь с прицеливанием на землю.

- Glyph of Storms: Уменьшена перезарядка Firestorm с 60 до 25 секунд. Уменьшена перезарядка Ice Storm с 60 до 30 секунд. Уменьшена перезарядка Sandstorm с 60 до 40 секунд. Все варианты бурь глифа начинают перезаряжаться, когда один из них активируется.
- Glyph of Elemental Power: В дополнение к предыдущим эффектам, этот глиф теперь также увеличивает исходящий урон на 25% за каждый удар. Исправлена проблема, из-за которой этот глиф не терял стеки, когда усиленные атаки были заблокированы, из-за ослепления или когда от них уклонились.
- Superior Elements: Исправлен баг, из-за которого несколько Ткачей могли влиять на перезарядки друг друга.

Guardian
Spirit weapons have not felt solid due to having a few too many restrictions on their use, so the time between uses was reduced for all spirit weapons except the crowd-controlling hammer. Several firebrand skills were too powerful, which became very clear in PvP and WvW games, so defensive tomes received tweaks in those modes.
- Spirit Weapons: Fixed a bug that prevented players from animating properly when using these skills while equipped with a two-handed weapon.

- Imbued Haste: Reduced the attribute gain in PvP and WvW from 250 to 150.
- Indomitable Courage: Fixed a bug that could prevent Tome of Courage from gaining stun break while in WvW or PvP.

Mesmer
Mesmer phantasms were heavily reworked in this update. For more information on our goals and reasons for these changes, please see our post on the official forums called "Shattering the Status Quo."In addition to the phantasm changes, there were also changes to confusion duration and stack counts, which are part of a larger effort to cut down on confusion uptime in competitive modes. Finally, as part of our update to alacrity as a boon (also covered in its own forum post called "Alacrity: Time for a Change"), we reworked some underperforming chronomancer traits.
General
- Shatter Skills: These skills now only shatter clones. Descriptions have been updated to reflect their new functionality.

Necromancer
Scourge shades have long been a pain point in PvP and WvW with their rapid corruption and few tells for players to spot. In this update, we're introducing better tells for shade actions, reducing the more oppressive condition applications, and easing up on the punishing boon corruptions. On the other side of things, we improved the effects of Vampiric Presence to make it competitive with the auras of other professions.

The functionality of this trait has been modified and currently increases its effectiveness by 100% when in shroud. This effect now has a 0.5-second cooldown.

Ranger
For rangers, this update focused on bug fixes and improvements to soulbeast skills. We've allowed stances shared with Leader of the Pack to stack in duration, and we have updated several of the merged-pet attack skills. We hope that these changes will give soulbeast players a wider variety of pets to play with in various areas of the game.
- Stances now stack their individual durations in the case of rangers using the Leader of the Pack trait.
- Twice as Vicious: Fixed a bug in which this trait triggered when dismounting.

Revenant
Power-build revenants have been languishing behind their condition-build counterparts. Impossible Odds, Phase Traversal, and the Focused Siphoning trait were changed to give the Shiro Tagachi invocation and the Devastation specialization more burst potential. While targeting particular changes, the renegade elite specialization received several short-bow damage increases and legend energy-cost improvements in PvP and WvW to smooth their gameplay in a competitive arena.

Thief
We felt that the current offering of stolen items wasn't scaling well enough with the difficulty of raid bosses, so we added a selection of new stolen items that have effects tailored to the needs of a raid party. The deadeye's malice generation, while appropriate for normal enemies, ended up scaling poorly against larger bosses with lots of health. Losing malice because of a mark time-out in a long fight felt disappointing, so we updated Deadeye's Mark to preserve malice stacks when marking the same target again. We also increased the power of several rifle skills to account for the higher health of PvE enemies.
- Consume Plasma: This skill now grants alacrity for 3 seconds in addition to its previous boons.
- Deadeye's Mark: This skill no longer drains malice when marking the same target again. Reduced the recharge from 30 seconds to 25 seconds. Increased the mark duration from 25 seconds to 30 seconds.
- Deadly Aim: Increased damage in PvE by 25%.
- Spotter's Shot: Increased damage in PvE by 21%.
- Three Round Burst: Increased damage in PvE by 15%.
- Death's Judgment: Scaling per malice increased from 15% to 20% in PvE.
- Bountiful Theft: This trait will now grant alacrity to nearby allies for 3 seconds if it removes alacrity from enemies.
- Fire for Effect: Reduced internal cooldown on this trait from 1 second to 0.5 seconds to better sync with stolen-skill recharge.
- The steal table has been updated with raid-specific skills in raid areas of the game. These skills are as follows and have been placed on certain creatures and bosses throughout each section:
- Unstable Artifact: Shadowstep to an area and deliver a large immobilizing strike. If a downed ally is in your targeted area, you will instead shadowstep that ally to your location and partially revive them.
- Detonate Plasma: Activate this skill to apply many boons to nearby allies.
- Soul Stone Venom: Use a corrupted soul stone to immediately remove all conditions from nearby allies, converting each unique condition removed into an instance of Soul Stone Venom on that ally. When attacking while this venom is active, an additional strike that's sourced from the applying thief will be applied to all of your successful hits.
- Magnetic Bomb: Throw a magnetic bomb that continuously damages and pulls enemies to a point.
Warrior
Our main focus for the warrior was to improve power damage and group utility in PvE. We approached this by adding multipliers to various trait sections and improving some base weapon damage with the intent of giving the warrior a more viable core power build. Berserker maintains condition effectiveness, and spellbreaker continues with its disruptive behavior. We also toned down some spellbreaker effectiveness in PvP and WvW so that there is more time to react and counter their powerful skills.
- Greatsword Slice: The damage of this skill has been increased by 35%.
- Hundred Blades: The damage of this skill has been increased by 10% for all strikes in PvE only.
- Whirling Axe: The damage of this skill has been increased by 20% in PvE only.
- Brutal Strike: The damage of this skill has been increased by 38%.
- Stomp: Fixed a bug in which the initial stability applied for a shorter duration than the intended full duration. Fixed the tooltip to indicate the actual 6-second stability duration that is applied when hitting an opponent.
- Banner of Tactics: Instead of applying a 10% longer boon duration, this banner now applies 170 concentration at level 80.
- Skull Grinder: The previous PvP split of this skill has been extended to WvW, with confusion now added to the list of split conditions. Confusion application has been modified from 4 stacks for 4 seconds to 5 stacks for 3 seconds.
- Winds of Disenchantment: The boon-removal pulse has been increased from 0.5 seconds to 1 second.
- Warrior's Sprint: This trait now grants a 7% damage increase while you have swiftness in addition to its previous effects in PvE. This trait now grants a 3% damage increase while you have swiftness, in addition to its previous effects in PvP and WvW.
- Burst Mastery: This trait now grants 3 seconds of swiftness when you use a burst skill, in addition to its previous effects.
- Last Stand: Unified the skill to match up with the trait description; they now both refer to Last Stand as Lesser Balanced Stance.
- Loss Aversion: The damage from activations of this trait has been reduced by 33% in PvP and WvW only.
- Enchantment Collapse: Added a recharge indicator to this trait to correctly reflect its 1-second cooldown.
- Merciless Hammer: Confusion inflicted by this trait has been split and will now apply 6 stacks for 4 seconds in PvP and WvW only.
- Magebane Tether: Tethered targets take 10% bonus strike damage from the spellbreaker in PvE only.
- Doubled Standards: This trait now causes unique banner effects to be 50% stronger on the warrior in addition to its previous effects.
