      Key things

      All boons and durations that stack in duration will not only be queued 5 times.
      All AoE that has a limit of 5 players will now count blocked targets towards that maximum

      Most important to us

      Any shout or the like that affects players around you will be cast on party members first.

      No more x for party invite. We need group structures every time we go into WvW to be the most efficient. Enjoy

      this is also interesting.


      1. Geyser: Increased the base radius to 180. Increased the radius when equipped with the blasting staff trait to 240. Fixed a bug so that the water field radius would match the increased radius with the blasting staff trait.

      2. Water Blast: Increased the healing stat scaling from 10% to 25%. Slightly decreased base heal at low levels but it will heal for same base at level 80.

      The restacks with this skill will now be amazing, ofc bring level 80 characters only.

      Yes. We will have to start doing strict cleave vs. flank parties. I don't think 1 shouter in flank party is necessary. We should all meet only on regroups and there are other more viable spells to use during that. Like the improved geyser!

      The geyser is now amazing in regroups and allows people that didn't quite make it to the exact little spot to blast anyways.

      The boon duration is "All duration stacking boons(Aegis, Fury, protection, Regeneration, Retaliation, Swiftness, and Vigor) and conditions(Blind, Burning, Chilled, Cripple, immobilze(now stacks duration), and Poison) now stack to a maximum of 5 times." I don't remember how the conditions stacked. If it was infinite, this is a bit of a nerf. The boons don't matter that much, imo. Permaswiftness should still not be a problem.

      The block makes sense in counting towards the limit, but aegis can severely screw up a hammer train if we don't get used to slapping some aoe on them before we land. It's better anyways if you hammerstun into some kind of field.

      "Tab targeting now prioritizes players over npcs (including minions)" - this is amazing too for initiation. Nothing pisses me more than landing a ring on a drake...made me click the blob all the time and clicking random pixels far away can select my people, minions, nothing at all...damned targeting. Speaking of the devil "Made adjustments to click targeting to make it more precise" haha

      We always needed it, but just now started to do composition calls before events. Now it will become even more important. Including party composition. I kinda like that. No more buffing friendlies before SWD! That is amazing. If the melee train stays together, we will benefit from this.

      Shame that every warrior needs to be shout now tho if it's true. Along with x/war horn. Makes me sad. Need at least one shout warrior and one guardian in each party for those boons.

      The blocking counting is a huge nerf for aegis. Means that it will now be removed by AoE, rather than staying until a Melee swing hits. That's huge. Really huge.
