Guild Wars 2

And by broken… I mean that absolutely wretched auto-attack sound! It forces me not to use the staff and that is completely overpowered.

BWEUAGHH BWEUAGHH BWEUAGHH BWEUAGHH BWEUAGHH BWEUAGHH BWEUAGHH BWEUAGHH BWEUAGHH BWEUAGHH BWEUAGHH BWEUAGHH

And it’s so loud too!
Nerf plz.

Worst sound effect in game. Main reason i wont use the staff as often

Actually another major bug with staff is that Vampiric doesn’t work with it… you don’t leech health on attack. Def needs to be fixed!

Same here. Please fix that annoying sound. Thanks.

And the projectiles speed could use a speed buff.

Agree. I refrain to using a staff constantly because of that.

Agree on the sound. I turn off sound when its wvw time since i use the staff mostly.

I enjoy that sound >_> . . .

+1…………………….

Lol.. the staff sounds like a Charr gargling with vodka

Doesn’t really bother me any. Probably any sound, repeated often enough, would become bothersome, if this gets to you.

At least I’m not the only one that hate that sound.

There are multiple issues with the Staff atm

*Auto-attack sound
*Necrotic Grasp is very slow
*Vampiric not working
*Mark of Blood does not seem to benefit from Greater Marks

And the increased radius of Chilblains with Greater Marks does not work.

I prefer the necro staff sound over using the engie bomb kit with my mechanical keyboard.

This right here is the reason I stopped playing the class. My god, it’s like monkeys on typewriters.

I can’t BLEAUGH understand BLEAUGH your guys’ BLEAUGH accents… BLEAUGHHHH

+1 to this, the auto attack sound is horrendous. Not only is the sound itself very grating and unpleasant but it’s also a LOT louder than most other weapon sound effects save some of the Mesmer’s chime sounding effects, but at least those aren’t as grating as this.

Agreed, the staff auto attack sound really does need to be toned down or changed. The slow speed of the attack itself is pretty annoying as well.

Someone was telling me that the mark doesn’t APPEAR correctly with greater marks, but can still be triggered in a larger target area than what you see in game. Haven’t managed to test this yet though.

Ahahahaha. I completely agree. It drove me absolutely crazy by like level 20 something and I haven’t used it since. I don’t even care about it’s usefulness, that is the worst sound in the world and I will not ever use a Staff again until it’s fixed. Glad I’m not the only one being driven crazy by that sound effect.

I lay marks and then switch so I don’t have to hear the awful auto-attack.

Nerf plz.

lamo, I seriously laugh out when I saw your post.
Yeah it’s annoying, but I like it. why?
Because It annoy other people beside me too xD

I use it regardless of the sound, and just ignore it. Sure it’s annoying as all hell, but the staff is just too useful to not use. PIERCING CRITS AND BLEEEEEEED!

There are 2 bugs associated with greater marks and they require some explanation. The first bug is mainly cosmetic and it affects mark of blood. When you have greater marks, mark of blood appears as the small size mark when placed on the ground, but still triggers and affects the area as if it had the large radius. The other bug, which is much more egregious, is with chillblains. When you have greater marks and place chillblains, the mark appears on the ground with the large radius and will trigger with the large radius but the effects of the mark are still the small radius, making it very hard to hit anything unless you cast it right on their face. Having greater marks actually makes chillblains worse. More people need to bring this bug to anet’s attention.

Also forgot that greater marks is supposed to make marks unblockable but this is bugged as well. I remember reading somewhere that someone said it was only bugged for some of the marks and not all of them but don’t remember the specifics. Either way, it is bugged.

+1 I can’t stand that sound

Couldn’t agree more. It sounds like Donald Duck when he’s ticked off.

I’d prefer if the sound effect was more subtle and… “ghostly.”

I always start to look around what kind of horrible, disgusting monster had just spawned near me and then I realize it is just my staff.

I like the sound:P

The sound isn’t horrible. It’s just too loud relative to the other sound effects.

+1

I can life with the sound, but it’s way too loud.

I agree with this. The sound is waaay over the top and extremely loud compared to other weapon sounds in the game. Super annoying.

Annoying sound is annoying.

first of i dont mind the sound. i would love to change the auto attack of the staff with that of the tridant though would make the staff AWESOME

all marks benefit hfrom greater marks however the graphic look does not show.

not sure what you mean with slow?
the vampiric i havent tested so enough to tell^^
