Guild Wars 2

((( fries Forum bug in week old Fry oil )))

geh!

I would say that I’m sensing a nerf to fgs coming in, but it doesn’t affect their precious PvP, so it’s probably not going to happen, or it’ll happen next year.

I suspect necro dagger will get the same treatment as thief dagger. That definately is an improvement but it feels like a temporary solution until a new weapon comes along.

I want a whip plz. Mesmer/thief/ele/necro whip…the possibilities!

I can’t help but feel Ele would be silly with it as they have whip being part of their dagger /shrug. Air auto with dagger = whip, air auto with whip =… dagger???

ohh and if you join in on Ivan’s Arah tour, (( eyes Danica and LIlith ))

and I somehow manage to make it.

not only do you get him to sing for you but we talk about food the whole way…

Watch out this makes you hungry.

As nice as the semi cleave for the dagger on thief is, there are fights where I actually enjoy the fact that the daggers don’t cleave, like Yanonka. But those are niche problems I guess.

What annoys me is the Black Powder change. I get it from a pvp point of view but we already have different boon durations in pve and pvp in some cases, different damage for confusion for example and different initiative costs for Pistol Whip in pve and pvp. So why not go all the way and split skills more between pve and pvp. Would make the initial effort greater, but make balancing all around much easier.

And I’m not that much of a fan of the adrenalin changes either.

ANet doesn’t want to have seperate skillpools which is stupid because they already have as you said + it would make things so much better.

So, I hear that scrub newbie dungeoneers can find people to play with around these here parts.

I’m glad you’re here.

think thats all of them.

I like how they heavily nerf the only decent weapon combinations while giving minor buffs to completely useless sets that will never be used, even if they buffed their damage by a 50%. They pretend they’re moving a little of this stagnant and murky game by adding some cds here, some damage there.
I’m… bleh. Disgusted.
It’s so cheap, so lame that I don’t even know what to say. Sadly, they’re not the only ones that do it. “Look, we nerfed all your damage skills by a straight 60%, but now this useless skill lasts 5% more! [neverwinter]”
I fear for my favourite classes. See, this is the nice thing about liking a measly class like the ranger. It can’t possibly be nerfed more than this.

inb4 “reduced sword aa damage by 10%”

Pardon the outrage, but I’m really sick of this stagnation. I can’t even take a break, because it wouldn’t change anything. If I came back, the game would be exactly the same… and I should pay gems to unlock stuff. L.O.L.

E: lol at you Joe for thinking a new weapon is gonna come out.

so i was running around on the new ele that i have made and during the process of levelling up, i thought about the idea of trying to do lupi with a group of players that are not level 80. say like a group of 60s, or even 30s. has anyone ever attempted it before? and would it be even possible?

Gotta be a certain level to do more than like 0-1 damage glancings and to even land conditions. I want to say that for like lvl 80-84 it’s a requirement of 75 or 76? I can’t remember for sure.

At level 52 you have 50% of level 80 power. Then your critical change gets nuked (about 50% less damage) and every hit glances (50% less damage). Weapon strength is probably about 50% too.

Above results in ~ 95% less damage.

Then you have worse traits, runes and sigils and also no conditions (mainly vulnerability) so at the end it is probably like 97.5% less damage.

We can totally expect a cleave, but not just on two targets, most likely a true cleave like other classes.

Truth be told the announced Ranger changes were what made me hopeful for the class tweaks. The signet change alone made the changes worhtwile and the rest are nice as well. Nothing too over the top, but useful.
And then came along the warrior and thief changes. I might see this overly bleak since I mostly play warrior, guard and thief, but I’m still put off by this.

But those number tweaks aren’t going to change anything. The ranger is a perfectly fine class in dungeon and I know it full well, but it’s nothing special and a very small dps buff isn’t going to make it much better. What I want is CHANGES. Changes to the core mechanics (sword aa top) that make the class clunky. It’s not unplayable or bad, but I’m frustrated at the stagnation of all the classes because they won’t bother spicing things up. No new weapons, barely a couple of skills, a handful of traits. It’s not enough, FREAKING TWO YEARS INTO THE GAME.

I cannot argue that last point. Not even from an advocatus diaboli standpoint.

Eh, I know. I can’t defend devs when my friends on ts that quit the game bash on it for this very reason. It’s inexcusable.

All that optimism.
We’re probably going to get longer cast times, a few useless changes here and there and maybe damage buffs on a few skills.

So, I got lucky and I actually managed to get Lupi down solo. Thankfully, he only dropped dome once and I was lucky enough to survive the rest of phase 3, although I panicked a bit and he ran off the wall. To be fair, I even think fighting him off the wall in phase 3 is actually a bit easier for me.

With many thanks to deSade, Blessing Nosferatu, Spoj, Enaretos and all my guildies for their support, constant teaching and the ability to bare with my newbish skills!

PS: Yes, my PC is crap so someone else had to record it for me :<

I already love playing ele with pugs. Area retaliation, area darkness…

^ It is a game within the game. Accurately determine when the current light field will end and try to place the firefield before the next light field appears. Alternatively, you can place the fire field over the light, and as soon as the light ends while your fire persists go blast crazy. ’tis the true test of skill

Guess I have to do that. Though I have to learn managing all those skills with my messed up motor skills first, which will already take a bit. After that I’ll master the art of sneaking my fire fields between other combo fields.

haha I hear ya, I’ve been pugging a lot with my engi lately and the delayed blasts and delayed firefields make the experience extra special
