The Zos devs get a lot of flak for changes they make, and rightfully so. However, while I know some things got harder than they probably should have (Zaan, for example) and some things are uh...overperforming, to put it lightly (Master's 2h, anyone?) I think this is the best patch we've seen since Q1 last year. The changes were largely reasonable and not too heavy-handed. Most of the alterations to sets were functional with logical reasoning behind them. Even the arena weapon changes are mostly cosmetic for back bar and underutilized sets, but meaningful for a few that will encourage farming but not create an endless grind where you absolutely positively have to have them all. Also, A++++ for finally dumpstering the nonsensical bash weave meta. Thank you. That alone absolves a lot of sins in my eyes.

I'd give this a solid 8/10. It accomplished a lot, fixed a lot of things that were way too long coming (synergies, pets getting BT, etc) and didn't completely unbalance the climate. It avoided gross, sweeping changes that derail the entire meta. I approve. Show Zos some love when they get it mostly right, boys.

    How was it fair to nerf all pve tank monster sets? Not many ppl wanna play tank as is. This will make queues even longer.

    I'm (sadly, not by choice) largely a tank main. I'm fine with what they did, honestly. Tremorscale will instantly become meta if your group has any stam. Many of the monster sets (chudan, for example) will still be just fine, as will Earthgore. I believe I was reading through a discussion about Symphony being busted as hell on OTs, as well.

    What are you talking about?

    Tanks just got some more free pen. Just throw on Tremor, Roaring, Alkosh and use the most blatantly broken skill in the game Unstoppable.
