Not sure if this is allowed but MT seems to be one of the more influential streamers for the game and I find his takes to be pretty accurate.

feels like giving everyone alac/quick builds makes the game too homogenous (and takes trait space in the process)

why are they removing boon corruption when wvw is such a boon spamfest?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Giving alac/quick on guardian is vastly different than giving it on elementalist, ranger, scourge, etc. I wouldn't say the classes feel less distinct because of it and I'm personally glad that each class can fulfill the required roles if needed, I wasn't a big fan of being stuck with few select classes whenever the party needs a boon support.

I do agree it's a shame to lose unique builds like scourge rezzer or boonstrip, wish we had more space in the traitlines for it but that should be a problem solved separately from improving the boon support systems.
