fix this kittened bug

Woa woa, don’t push it, Anet can’t fix every single bug! At the moment they focus on “blatant” bugs :p

Any update on this? Anyone still trying?

No, kitten belka.

Gold is still in the bank, and the Gem store prizes of course are still available.

[rT] with the 20 min time is currently winning for path 2.

Lilith do you still need a member for team RP? I’d be happy to join and maybe we can do p3 for a shot at rewards!

The “RPL337ist” team is struggling with time table to actually get together and play

much of this is my fault due to my wonky work schedule. but if We can get a time to get together and run it. i would be all for it.

(( I realize that i have my hand in way to many cookie jars….))))

Aren’t you hosting this competition, though, in which case it wouldn’t make sense for you to enter? o_o

True,

it was more for the spirit of the competition.

However If yours and madam Liliths time table is more akin to be able to actually run I would hate to deny her the opportunity to compete and deny her that simply BECAUSE i am the host.

Shorter answer:
take Lilth to Arah!! me operating between midnight and 6 am is not conducive to normal humans

When did this thing end?

submissions will be accepted till MIDNIGHT JUNE 23rd, (June 24) MOUNTAIN STANDARD TIME NORTH AMERICA.

So this thing ended already.

Yes. And it should be time to award the winnings! ^^

Haha, such a cheap kitten you are.

please send me a mail either here or in game for how you would like your gold distributed.

I suppose in some ways my timing could have been a bit better. With the Tourney announced and kicking off, i did not really expect a whole lot of running for this after that announcement was made.

Still none the less Thank you those that showed interest and to everyone. Sometime in the near future, (after tourney) I would love to get an actual discussion going on the whole “unholy trinity”. Just an honest discussion on why those three classes struggle so much.

THANKS TO EVERYONE!
i will go insane again i am sure. and throw something like this out again.

Thanks for running this, Ropechef. Even if I didn’t manage to participate, it got me to update my engi and test out some of the new traits/changes.

I sent you a mail. Thanks for organizing! It was actually pretty fun getting a good time with those classes.

The tourney was announced after you made your challenge proposal

Yeah, quite sad this didn’t get more attention. But hey, we won, shouldn’t be sad I suppose. Dubble Bear next time maybe.

Focus on the Tourney Gang.

Thank you for running you guys.

while i am thinking about it. Not right away, but would you 3 be willing to run path 2 again but with classes of your choice. for a 3 man speed run. I would love to have a time comparison for discussion.

Well warrior can solo it in about 25mins. Bit awkward really. x)

And that is kind of what I am trying to figure out.

A Solo Warrior can do the same path in roughly the same time as the “unholy trinity”

WHY?

Or as a discussion concept, What would need to change?

I am in no way asking for a nerf to warriors. I like them the way they are? so how would we buff the other three to be at least reasonable??

Well warrior solo dps is very strong so the kill times arent too far behind the unholy trinity. But then the unholy trinity has a pretty poor run speed as a group. Ranger is fast, engi is ok but necro is really slow. Also there isnt much group swiftness which certainly doesnt help the ranger and necro if they have cooldowns. Warrior run speed means it can make up for a lot of lost time which is probably the main reason it was only 5 minutes slower. Theres a lot of running in arah.

As far as what needs to change. More mobility would help but that goes against anets core design for the necro atleast. Id say make necro less selfish with boons and give more utility/unique buff traits. Theres no point asking for solo dps buffs because the game is designed around group content. Engi just needs a bit more damage imo. And ranger needs less dependance on sword and pets to do respectable damage.

Fair reasoning,

I had not thought about the actual running part till you mentioned it. And yes you could very well shave off quite a bit of time had the 3 had at least comparable land speeds.

Awhile ago, the idea for Rampager being power main. was being proposed. Something i heard Nike say was that if they did do that, Engies would actually become OVERpowered, at least in PvP. As me not being a math guy i take his word for it. although i would love to understand why that would be that case. would having the slight buff in a power stat for a power condie gear set really kick up Engie and Necromancers damage to be that much of a powerhouse?

When you say a Ranger needs less dependence on sword. how do you mean? as does it need a buff to GS? or does the reliance on Pets make THAT much of a difference? Being that pets are a core mechanic to the ranger class. I doubt them changing them all that much. SO would a Buff to GS damage be a solution? or would that become something overpowered in a PvP setting? which ultimately is what we balance around…

Well in optimized groups any condi damage is quite wasted as things die too fast. So yeah it would make for better solo builds most likely but it wont really fix the organized group issue. Especially in the case of necro as they dont have a decent hybrid weapon. Whereas engi has nade kit for a mix of condi damage and direct damage.

For ranger i would say buff greatsword auto a bit. And for fixing pets, i dont expect the devs to change anything because as you said pets are the classes core mechanic. But pets are a very large portion of rangers damage and buffing. However they die a lot especially in arah and fractals. Which means your personal dps and f2 utility drops quite significantly.

WTB pre nerf ranger pets. :’(
Oh how I wish rangers had been part of the meta back when pets actually did respectable dmg.

My kitties do rather good damage these days.

but yes, they are like little zerkers that you have to carry… and dont know how to dodge.

They do decent dmg but the good old days of +10k kitty mauls and 2x 8k raven slashes were fun.
