    Thanx for the video and the extensive testing, I lack the patience to do the same with Energy Meld. My take:
    * I've played ~220 ranked matches this season, and over 90% of them as a power Vindicator. I loathe the changes since I no longer have vigor on evade, and I never use the F2 in Vindicator (in fact, spent over 150 matches with that column without any trait selected).
    * I hate when a skill acts in different ways at different game modes; when that happens I just don't run those skills; is the reason I can't play mantras with Firebrand. The same happens to me with Energy Meld and the new traits: they not only rely in a button I don't use with this class, but the traits also work differently in each game mode, so consistence across them doesn't exist.
    * As result in PvP I just don't use the F2 with the Vindicator; it seems like doesn't do anything special, unlike Warrior's Berserker mode or Spectre's Shroud. The changes didn't help tho, and sadly this season I'm heading towards a 48% w/l ratio, which honestly is bad. But at least I'm playing what I like. I don't agree aso in that "condi Rev exist"; empyrical source: MAT.
    * WvW: no vigor from evades and no fory from Contained Temper. Vindi seems weaker than before the chages but was already OP so is fine, I guess. Some Harbs and Mesmers give me problems, but I think that in part is due knownledge/skill.
    * PvE: my fav build is power Vindi but I play mostly celestial build there since in no way the increase of dps a power build gets compensates the lack of self sustain it loses compered to celestial hybrid builds in solo play (which is 99.9% of my time). I guess the new traits do have some impact but for me the changes are a net loss since as I said, I don't F2 with Vindicator.
    Overall the changes reminded me a bit the new scepter: since I don't play to use it, it won't affect how I play; since I won't use Energy Meld, the changes inmediatly translates into a loss of the old Song of Arboreum boons (vigor). Due greatsword is now available to all Rev specs Vindi has now a similar problem as Renegade: it lacks any dinstictive feature, outside the jump evade. Renegade at least has the F skills (which I use, since unlike Energy Meld they feel like they do something).

    I enjoy these videos that give a deeper insight into how traits become "hinges?" to free up other traits. Very glad I watched this.

    Tbh, Energy Meld just feels bad as a ability to use. It's not fun. It would be better if the endurance regen was just a passive thing. Even somethin as small as 10% passive endurance would feel better. Cause stopping to cast that ability just breaks flow of a otherwise fluid spec.

    • @Rudbeckbitten
      @Rudbeckbitten 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Its a bad design yes, passive would be much better.

    About Energymeld.
    • Baseline cd should be 20 seconds in WvW/pvp too and not only pve. And cast time removed in all content.
    • Reaver's Curse: Should strengthen the entire effectiveness of the chosen grandmaster trait going along with it.
    -Death drop gets increased vulnerability stacks and outgoing damage%. The instant damage increase probably becomes little lower then, but better overall this is.
    -Imperial impact would be able to give also higher increased boon duration by it.
    - Saint's Shield Should give also increased outgoing healing% ontop of this.
    •Angsiyan's Trust is overall good choice now, they shouldn't temper with that one.
    • Song of Arboreum: The vigor duration for pvp is perfectly fine, but should be some higher in WvW/pve mode.
    •Animation wise:
    Each of these middle traits should affect the animation Energy meld does. Because animation wise energy meld is really lackluster 😢

    • @spudzie9117
      @spudzie9117  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Agree with all of these. In addition, maybe imperial impact gets its chill back form reavers enhance.

      @@spudzie9117 for the content it was removed pvp and WvW I forgot. I think it's okay. But they could rather increase the amount of might stacks generated by it, like 4/dodge, protection Is enough since it can increase urn and blue stunbreak prot boons too.
      For Reaver's curse, increasing might/prot boons by 50% and extending all boons by 3 sec or such.
      Then hybrid playstyles can function better because of more might or condi 🤷.
      I really don't think the chill is needed, it annoyed people only because of passive dodging 😅
      I am talking about pvp/WvW here not pve*

    vindicator really is amazing, that and herald are my main classes so i can offer massive dps or boons. even with the upcoming nerf, its only 5% on leviathan so its still going to hit really hard no matter what!

    Wait, i'm confused on that miracle at the beginning. You paid 250 ectos + 100 gold to get an extra 200 ectos? Wouldnt they have been cheaper than 100 gold if you just bought them straight from TP? Anywho, nice video man, thanks a lot

    I have little MMO experience but I want to get into an MMO that has fun PVP and tbh that looks like GW2
    Is it hard for really new players to integrate into PVP? Will there be grinding? Is it P2W? I feel like I'm going in blind but I'm super interested.

    • @hympur4488
      @hympur4488 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'd say you obv need some practice to get into it but its really cool ofc, combat system is challenging
      No items grinding here as everything is given for "free tryout" in arena's / So it can't be P2W either.
      Go for it !

    • @ix7163o
      @ix7163o 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I started GW2 a few months ago and its super beginner friendly. You can do pretty much every content after only a few weeks of playing (if you have the dlc's)

    • @spudzie9117
      @spudzie9117  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I’d say go for it. There’s a learning curve, but gear in PvP is “free trial”. In wvw ( other pvp mode) gear matters. Unless you count owning DLC as P2w there is none.

  • @cjttruelife
    @cjttruelife 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Your perspective of energy meld is off, its "for endurance, for deathdrop," just like energy is for this that or the other. Relaxes you play Rev as if nothing's changed. No different than ancient echo, cant skill queue if you're outta energy can't dodge queue if you're outta endurance. pick your poison. Same cast time, same play style. Luckily vind has skills for endurance(scavenger burst) or vigor in game modes. the only benefit to energy meld power vind on reavers curse is the CD reduction, rest is negligible.
