This is a really well-done video about what keeps drawing me back to this game, despite its short-ish content length. It's just that cool of a world.

I mostly play 3 medium classes: Soulbeast, Scrapper, and Daredevil, so this one affects me personally.

Initial reactions:

• The change to flanking makes Hunter's Tactics in Skirmishing a straight 15% damage increase on a minor trait. Selfishly, yay? But it feels kinda cheap, and it essentially eliminates a key skill tactic.
• The changes to Speed of Synergy and Kinetic Accelerators is a bit of a gut punch for my Scrapper. Way less application and duration for the only rare group boon (superspeed) I was bringing to the table, and the added reliance on Hammer 3 means I'll be flinging myself off cliffs with greater regularity as the zerg kills targets before the skill procs. Also, the Function Gyro made a lot more sense when you could save it for when you need it as opposed to becoming an integral source of blast finishers in the rotation
• My bounding-power-staff Daredevil got increased damage, but only in PvE. I guess that's okay because he's too squishy for me to play anywhere else. I like that they completely reworked the Acrobatics trait line, as it was in a really bad place, while random stolen skills were nerfed. I'm not sure this makes it worth taking over Trickery, but I guess we'll see.

Overall, these look to be pretty impactful to my personal gameplay. I'll really have to actually see how it feels in-game, but I'm fairly confident that I will not be able to ignore this change.

Everyone's judging! I'm pretty sure that's how the platform is designed.

But I get what you're saying. I'm just adding my little joke to grow the content library.

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm a Lemmy noob and it wasn't as obvious to me as it probably should have been.

I'm reading this on Lemmy.World right now...

Assuming you mean WvW

I do. I guess you "zerg" in Drizzlewood, too.

Also, isn’t the WvW Zerg Scrapper Meta a Minstrel Support Build with MedKit and Elixir Gun?

My build would be more of the "Good" (not Great\Meta) rating, but listed on the Meta build sites.

Maybe those guides have not been updated

That has to be it. I'm actually a bit of a scrub player, so I was just wondering if it was awesome sauce if I didn't suck so much.

I play a Power Grenadier Scrapper when running with zergs. Most of the meta builds for this kind of scrapper insist that Sneak Gyro is the elite skill to go with. In my own testing, its effect is difficult to time with the movements of a zerg and gone way too fast. So, why is this a popular skill for Power Scrappers?

Obligatory paywall workaround.

Red-pillers preaching Bro-icism will not lead you to fulfillment.

Same here. Yesterday, I had a moment of clarity, logged off, deleted RIF, and came here. That quickly, this is my thing, now.

Judging by what I saw on my last day on Reddit, he may be right.

Fewest known bugs.

We may look back in the not-too-distant future and be pretty happy that the angry, bitter, Reddit "thing" happened. An open-sourced, federated model is just healthier than what most of us were satisfied with, before. It took all this to make this mass migration possible.
