I’d laugh… But the raid content generally has a limit per week. So that would be doublely funny:D

Restore that which was lost. And all shall be as one.”

Doubtful as there are just boss encounters where the main rewards are not really farmable.

I’m pretty sure it will be a meta event on the new map or one created for an existing map.

penitent
?p?n?t(?)nt/Verzenden
~adjective
1. Feeling or showing sorrow and regret for having done wrong; repentant.
“a penitent expression”
synonyms: repentant, contrite, regretful, remorseful, sorry, apologetic, conscience-stricken, rueful, ashamed, shamefaced, abject
she stood with her hands joined below her waist like a penitent child
~noun
1. A person who repents their sins and (in the Christian Church) seeks forgiveness from God.

Considering it’s going to be a raid.. I have a severe doubt the bosses we’re gonna fight are gonna be penitent in the slightest
But my bet for the portal location is going to be Confessor’s Tomb close to the camp in Bloodstone Fen

I’m almost certain it won’t be, but it’d be very funny if it was.

Well according to an article it’s 4 bosses instead of 3 this time. But to be honest I’m looking forward to the stupid LI requirements for this one, people are gonna ask 200LI just for the 1st boss and 350 for the last one…

This has been known for some time. They’ll also all be real bosses, no event-type filler stuff.

Spirit tonic quest…. bastion of the people who repent for sin, could also be akin to “FISSURE OF WOE”!!!! As the first discription is “feeling of sorrow and regret for having done wrong”. Let alone ALL THOSE GHOSTS WE SEE IN RAIDS PRIOR!

Legendary armorsmith of fissure of woe, I see your tricks!

No class rebalance…. I’m really tired of the current tempest fiesta already. Give us the previous balance patch where you can take anything in the game and it’s just as good as everything else. Also I know the necro bug, where they are actually good, is fixed. Is it too much to ask to bug necros again?

I’ll drop this here just in case anyone didn’t check reddit or twitter for the last 24h.

Unfortunately, Anet has decided that skill = the ability to copy builds from websites – and the punishment for not doing so is crippling your group and severely lowering your chances at ever seeing the content.

ANet didn’t decide that, players arbitrarily decided that. Be upset about the meta all you want, but don’t act as if it isn’t self imposed by the players

…and by the same players who fail to notice that groups substantially smaller than the “required” size, or without strictly following the meta, routinely clear the same content.

The meta builds are magic — the belief that skill is irrelevant, in favor of performance differences that in the real world are in the realm of noise.

(PS: before citing DPS benchmarks, find me one that involves actually dodging mechanics, or link to parsed EVTC logs or something. The qtfy ones are nice, but not realistic.)

This is so far from the truth. Listen, eles can “copy paste” builds and stuff all day long. But, at the end of the day, a bad dps rotation matters WAY more than copy paste. I have ele friends that when they’re in, the boss dies WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY faster than when I’m with pug groups. Sabetha is the best example, phases her at second cannon aka one minute in 25% gone, where pug groups struggle to get it at phase 1:30 minutes in. Those thirty seconds is huge! And you know what? My buddy is running non meta food, sometimes no food. So just “copy and paste” doesn’t work. The problem is that those builds that have been discovered are some of the best POSSIBLE damage for that class. I’ve seen the same (phase at second cannon) done without eles. Then there’s the group that did her with 5 people faster than I’ve seen 10 people reset clear. Copy paste surely is not the thing people need to be aware of. Find a class you want to play, practice it until you get to required NUMBERS of dps. That’s the thing. I’d take an engi if it can hit the same numbers as an ele. I’ve seen warriors hit more than ele on the golem. It is skill towards your class that matters
