Do the adjustments next patch address outliers builds in PVP?

Do the adjustments next patch address outlier builds in PVP?
- Dragonknights having Corrosive up every 30 seconds outputting 17k whips regularly
- Nightblade bursting opponents down with 30,000 damage in 2 seconds
- Sorceror ranged builds melting people in a few global cooldowns
- Necromancer kit allowing for incredible survivability and damage at the same time
- Templar kit allowing for incredible survivability and damage at the same time

"Address" is maybe not a strong enough term. I think just about everything is addressed into the ground unless you run NB spamming crit Surprise Attacks stripping off all major buffs every 2 seconds with Nocturnals.
Anything else is addressed to death.

Yes

They pretty much nerfed everything across the board so I suppose "yes" is the answer to the question. Now do I think that the changes will result in better pvp experiences? Not a chance. Everyone is gonna be hitting like a wet noodle on their gimped builds anyways.

Unless you're a gankblade I guess you're eating good

Firstmep

Yes

Mostly every truly op stuff is getting nerfed.
And in typical fashion with a double whammy.
Big sorc nerfs on top of savage nerfs.
Dk nerf on top of oaken nerf.
Caluu also getting nerfed, but theres like 6 other sets to take its place, plus NBs are getting insane buffs so that bit is not going away.
Templar is going to be fine defensively, but ppl will no longer have to actually move their characters 2 inches to avoid jabs, since it will hit for so little damage, you wont even notice it.
Necro is getting some survivability nerfs, but their dmg potential is also going to go up.

Yes

There will be no more instakill ganking, nonstop Corrosive DKs, or heavy ranged damage from Bow Sorcs. There won't really be much of anything doing any damage. It will be a worse tank meta than "Warden tanks in 3 damage stat sets."

No

I hit the wrong button. I just wanted to see the results. R.I.P.

Those are not adjustments. Those are nerf-to-the-groundsments.

No

Stamsorc got nerfed hard, along with Savage Werewolf.
Warden got nerfed.
Templar got nerfed.

Stamblade DD got buffed. The carry set, Caluurion's, was nerfed, but I think overall Stamblade will be strong with Surprise Attack critting from the flank.

MagDK still looks faceroll OP relatively. Great CC (unchanged), great burst self-healing, Molten still strong.

On PTS, molten hits around 6-6.5k in corrosive compared to 9k on live (without oaken of course)

Adjustments is what I want to see in balance patches. Combat reworks every patch is what I don't want to see.

KingExecration

The outliers are people playing their class effectively? Also can’t help but notice warden didn’t make the cut. Lmao

SpacemanSpiff1

there will be much addressment for everyone.

Tornaad

No

Considering (from the little I understand about PVP) the massive differences between how you excel in PVP and PVE, until that changes anything they try to do to fix one, will not fix the other.

So Warden did get Snare Immunity on Wings which is a big deal, but everything else pretty much is bad. Someone over there dislikes Warden.
