Guild Wars 2

Sooo…. Aspects are now time limited. Which means if I can’t maneuver my camera before it expires it does (hello 20 deaths on trying to get to the top of the big rock, I gave up in the end)

But worst of all — death shroud = immediate lost of any aspect. So fighting that stupid sylvari who jumps from rock to rock is basically wonderful example of frustration. All those who specced shroud to remove condition have to re-spec. Half of the damage from shroud is gone.

I understand that only Warriors are beloved children these days, but really?

How does this favor Warriors? You don’t have any burst skills with aspects lol. If I remember correctly, even Rangers get their pets stowed. Your combat is supposed to be limited with the aspects.

Time limit is because they’re broken and weak. Adds another level of gameplay. And you don’t even need the aspects to fight the sylvari. You can just walk up the ramp and smack his salad face in.

Yeah, but it takes quite a while of running back and forth to kill off the sylvari. Tentacles downstairs keep crippling. Should probably re-roll power necro

I don’t think your profession/build is the problem here…

It certainly adds up to me having a lot of difficulties with jumping sigh Oh well.

if you want to be able to fight while having a aspects, play engi: his kits can be equipped and all skills used normally and when stowed again, you still have your aspects. I assume the same goes for ele conjures, though I haven’t tried it yet and bundles might be handled differently.

not to say I like how it works (I’d rather have aspects with stowed weapons and skills with drawn weapons or something, this would make also the stow weapons shortcut more useful) but if that’s your main gripe, you can take one of the classes that can work around the current limitation to avoid more frustration =)

Using a portal also removes aspects. This annoyed me a few times.

DCing removes aspects, too, and that can happen to anybody

I main engie and that’s what I did it on. For sure, it made it easier, as well as being able to stand on the largest rock and grenade him whilst seeing his attacks in plenty of time.

Yeah, same as spectral walk — immediately stops it.

By the way, thanks for the suggestion on doing the sylvari fight on engie, everyone!
(I did defeat him on condi necro but it was… annoying )

You can beat Aerin in the final stage without using an aspect. Walk up the ramp to the little platform adjacent to main middle platform. Wait there until he jumps to the main middle platform, run out and attack until he jumps, run back to the top of the ramp and wait……Do this about 5-8 times and you win.
