Guild Wars 2

By that i assume you mean the amount of times it ticks. Because retal damage is based on power and we all know we cant have infinite power.

It has no cap for ticks but for stacking the boon itself.

And while we are at it, rework banners to give boons and conditions instead of stats.

I hate all “passive” buffs. I DEMAND ACTION

I want necro’s to get passive unique buffs when they introduce new skills. ;p

They will get the Empowered Allies equivalent for Condition Damage or Vitality. And since those both suck the boat will be missed again.

:<

They should give necros Orders. So kind of like ranger spirit buffs but they emanate from the necro. Group vuln stacking on hit, life steal, damage increase. All sorts of stuff they could do to make necro’s a better pick in dungeons.

Whirl is fine, but Fiery Rush is obviously benefiting from an unintended mechanic. It’s “correct” use is non-intuitive. As for a nerf, I’d rather not see that happen. But even if it did, Ele’s would still be a welcome class for fast dungeons.

But I’m sure you like your Elementalist and want to keep it that way.

I’d rather have them nerf all conjures but buff ele abyssal dps. Instead, the former will happen while the latter not. And ele will be like necro, having no unique mechanic that could contribute.

^ As history shows, Arenanet is likely to nerf fiery rush and not compensate eles at all (just like they did with evasive arcana, lightning flash, mist form, etc.)

Sure FGS fiery rush probably isn’t working as intended, but all eles normal weapon skills which are working as intended have kitten damage. Fiery Rush + Lightning Flash relies on a skill with a 40s CD which is very situational and requires another utility slot which eles are already tight on (LH being required almost 100% of the time). Not to mention in less-than-ideal circumstances, they are extremely vulnerable during fiery rush.

No, I don’t think it’s outright problematic, but, mobs in general need to quit being such brainless cattle and start navigating the playing field aside from following a player around. This game’s mechanics are really at their best when player and enemy are both in motion.

After rolling a Guardian, I have to say the most common exploit is playing a Guardian.

Wethospu.6437:

There’s only a 8 seconds difference between your group best non-fgs kill and the best fgs kill.

1. No one ever wants a guardian on LFG
2. Every LFG post requests 2 or more eles with FGS
3. I once played a PVP match where a whole team stood in a corner and waited for me to take their whole team down with one fiery rush.
4. No one craft levels 0-80 in a day
5. I am currently not craft leveling a guardian
6. FGS makes pugging so much easier and prevents wipes.
7. You can’t speed run any dungeon unless you have FGS
8. The cool down on FGS is practically zero.
9. My ele has should have 100 blades, WOR, stealth, clones, a pet, turrets, and death shroud.
10. My ele should have a 5th attunement Heart so i can summon Captain Planet.
11. Guardians are the most OP class because they start each day with a well balanced breakfast. Bacon and Aegis.
12. Eles should have Aegis

Eles have one skill that is op on a FEW PVE bosses and should be nerfed? C’mon

It’s op in every boss and encounter.

Except underwater parts :P

trident 5 in water is similar to firy rush but it is a little trickier to position.

Wethospu.6437:

Ashyn? Risen Illusionist?

Still op, just not in your favor.

Touché.

Inversely OP against enemies with retal. ._.

So did you test the self-rooting thing with boss bags?

Couldn’t make it work.

Alilinke.7690:

A madman’s guide to killing yourself in under a second.
kitten you Vivena/Golem mobs in CoE.

They just have to unnerf heal on crit food and you will be immune to the retal for the most part!

or how about make healing better. im tired of support taking a back seat while dps is driving with control of the radio. and control got kicked out of the car while moving.

So you’re saying might, blocks, reflects, fury and protection aren’t support?

Those are all things DPS players provide.

He wants to be that guy who sits in the back doing nothing but spamming heals.

Control and support are essential in decent runs but he doesn’t want to have to do these roles while also being a dps and having to pay attention to his dodges.

Truth is most people asking for a “healer role” are just asking for anet to give them the ability to be carried by their group.

Even thieves do support when they use smoke screen and blinding powder to blind trash mobs. Warriors are doing control when they interrupt things with their mace 5. etc. But the one thing all support and control have in common is that they’re not there to the detriment of dps. You don’t have to use “control” gear. Or “support” gear. Guardians will give reflection, aegis, blind, control (ring of warding, line of warding) no matter what they wear.

Baddies want an important “healer role” because they don’t want to have to pay attention to stuff. They want to watch health bars and press the heal buttons.
That’s not how it’s supposed to work. GW2 is not your carry mmo.

Agreed.
That’s why we dished anchor and booner guards.
And bunker ele.
You get the idea

Speaking about roles.
there is a thing that really i can t explain.

Why in most dungeons zergballin prevents boss to use their most powerful Attacks while ranged Attacks are low dps?

Whats its the point to stay ranged?
If someone answers “only bad players stay ranged” i perfectly agree….but not because they are BAD at evading, but because its more risk and less reward in DPS, ress, support etc etc etc.

A skilled ranged player is less effective then a bad pug in melee (in a melee Group).

They should balance ranged combat a little because has only downsides as it is.
Range has nothing to do with the trinity since any profession can go ranged…its more than:

PvP team nerfed ranged skills to keep them fair in pvp
PvE team didn t consider that and made so bosses are harder if ranged.

result: zergballs in most (not every) dungeon

P.S. this is not an american forum its INTERNATIONAL.
Feel free to ansswer me in italian….i bet you speak it fluently i ll then gladly correct you with same rudeness.

They dont have seperate balance teams for pve, pvp and wvw. Which is why pve suffers so much due to pvp balance. Also why necro hasnt been improved to be useful in dungeons.

What the kitten are you talking about?

Well it’s not the fault of the design of the skills in themselves.
What’s really lacking is the content!

My fears are quite useful.

No, I got what you mean though, but it’s not like Anet did the on purpose. It’s a problem with the bad AI that prevents foes from using ranged attacks when there isn’t anyone in range.

( edited, looked at wrong video. )

Videos with 13 and 21 seconds? Lupicus is 5 seconds invulnerable which reduces time to 8 and 16 seconds which is already twice as fast meaning 100% more damage. Then if you remove effect of Feedback (let’s say 3 seconds) it becomes 5 and 13 seconds. which is 160% more damage.

At least I find that bit ridiculous.

I find feedback more ridiculous. Reflections are clearly exploits.

its clearly AI behavior working as intended by anet.
Its a range check followed by a reaction.

Removing the check or changing it would solve the issue.

For feedback i already expect the same change happened to legendary suit in dredge fractal.

Reflect will just absorb :|

That ‘Advanced’ Elementalist guide made me giggle. GJ on your team carrying your lousy DPS through dungeons. Maybe ‘New Player’ guide would be more fitting cause you practically run bunker traits.

But self-buffing and the lack of effort to deal more damage is.

You sure you clicked on good link? I see only vigor on crit which is the trait every guardian and mesmer use. Or maybe now bunkers use +10% dmg while >90% and +10% while in 600 range?

Huh?

The only thing that is bunkerish in my build is going from 10 to 20 in water to get cleanse and heal on attuning to water.
And I explain in the discussion that I take them because I can make sure my group is not under 90% hp so we can all use our runes of the scholar (and vital striking), and we are not impeded by weakness or things like this.

I was not aware that bunkers run 30 in air nowadays, pardon my ignorance!
