Guild Wars 2

Why are the asura racials so useless

technobabble-2 seconds daze.

Pain Inverter- 5 seconds retaliation and confusion in 360 range.

and the Only actually possibly useful skill if you dint have better skills to use

Radiation Field-Poison and weakness 3s per pulse with a 15 second durationand generates combo field.

worse of them all are the golems they all die in a blink the defense golem isnt worth the 30 trait points as it is sluggish and only punches for attack with mediocre damage as for the shield bubbble he hardly ever uses it, the golem suit is an even worse joke why use that if you can use the only actually useful golem the attack golem.

It’s like everything else that was destroyed in this game by ANet - why should this be any more surprising??? Due to Anet’s lack of foresight, this game will fade into oblivion along with TSW - which was may F2P - no subs needed, tera online is tera who?? WoW is a hollow shell of it’s former glory, etc... Funny, the only game where ppl aren’t btching is the EQ franchise - I wonder why that is...??? And they’ve been around LONGER than most others.

Racials aren’t meant to be better than class skills.

I do find use for the Defense golem though. If kitten hits the fan and we need to keep a boss in place, it will work for a good 30 seconds to a minute. Unless I drop it when the boss has a gib skill ready.

Racials aren’t meant to be better than class skills.

however some racials are overwhelming such as:

Reaper of grenth AoE poison and chill.

Hounds of Balthazar:
cause burning to foes on every attack and use leap attack which hits enemies in the area of effect.
The leap attack counts as Leap Finisher.
At level 80, each hound has about 6000 health and 2000 armor, and their attacks deals approximately 450-500 damage (about 700 on critical hits), plus 750 burning damage each second. The leap attack deals about 1800-2000 damage.

the Charrzooka has decent range damage and 2 knockdowns wich can aid in crowd controlling.

Grasping Vines-root target in place until they are destroyed this skill particulary is massive as in the heat of battle players will think they got immobilized and realize skills wont free them until its too late.
