Hey guys
This runes need a nerf, they just do. Every single power spec uses them nowadays. All I see wherever I go vs a power based build (semi-bunker, roamers) is ppl with parrots around them. ENOUGH WITH THE OP NPC’S OR AI OR WHATEVER IN SPVP.
I use this runes too, what else can i do, if I don’t use them I most likely lose the fight (I’ve tested this).
I play more sPvP than WvW because I can’t handle zergs well but sPvP is becoming a zergs vs zerg mode with all this kitten around my character

The release notes haven’t been updated yet, but the health of the Tropical Parrot was reduced by 50% in today’s release to bring it in line with other summons such as the rock dog.

We’ll keep an eye on it for now and reevaluate it’s strength it in the future if need be.
