I don’t think I have ever really spent much time in the PvE maps as I’m usually playing WvW, but lately I’ve just been really enjoying the new map. Farming the berries and killing monsters there is my new addiction, and I love that Anet have provided ascended underwater breathers as rewards for unbound magic and fresh winterberries.
This map has given me something to really work towards. If the ascended items for rewards weren’t epic enough, there’s the combat kodan tonic. Players have been wanting to play as a kodan for ages and now they can. I hope we get to see more combat tonics in the future, they are EPIC! This would have to be the best update & PvE map for me so far in GW2.
I think it would be even more awesome though if there was some sort of Mastery Abilities for the map – like for example, one mastery could be to make you immune from being frozen in ice by those ice storms (which cause you to lose your kodan lit torch – really annoying!), as well as those veteran icebrood elementals.
Another could be to take less damage from monsters in the map. I dunno, just a thought anyway. Keep up the awesome maps and rewards Anet.
Forever a supporter of more male skimpy armor
Just to let you know if you didn’t already there is the Kodan Staff Mastery thing ingame already.
Yo, Ho, all together, raise the colors high,
Yo, Ho, thieves and beggars, never shall we die
The kodan tonic is the new ascalonian ghost tonic, for wvw, to stop driver sniping. I advise everyone to get one who Wvws.
Surrender and serve me in life, or die and slave for me in death.
