You say that like it makes sense that the listing fee is not taken into account when displaying the projected profit. That number is a lie, even if it is only projected. Why is it not factored into the projected profit is the real question. When you’re projecting profits you should factor in your costs otherwise your numbers will be off. I never bothered calculating because who lists there projected profits without factoring in all the costs? It makes no sense at all.
Is the projected profit already factoring in the listing fee?
Come on Arenanet. I was so excited for the new skins but to my dismay there was no pistol skin. Why? Sure the ones you made are mostly kitten but as pistol/pistol engy i get no love =(.
maybe a /sarcasm after the op would help
Instead of laying into somebody for making a thread you find pointless or stupid why don’t you just ignore it. I cant read a thread anymore without at least one kitten saying its pointless, dumb, old news. If that is the case then why are you posting in the thread providing more incentive for others to read this supposedly stupid thread? If you feel a thread is dumb or redundant just ignore it. It will help keep replies low and that will help push those threads to the bottom.

I dont run nades often but when I do i double click 1 then rest a sec. You still have to hit it regularly but you get a little break for your hands that helped keep me cramp free. so 11 break 11 break 11 break, with the queue system and cast time you’ll find that your spamming nades the same as 1111111

Why do most of our chest pieces have to be skirt/kilt like. I do appreciate the trench coat look but from behind most of our chest pieces make us look like we’re wearing skirts. I want a reason to wear pants lol. There are 4 pieces that arent too long but they’re kinda meh as well. Only one male adventure chest piece that I really like and I’ve had it for a while already. Please add more male chest pieces that dont have ankle length coats.
There are many shoulders that are too big for the character model. I’m not talking stylized large either. Some of the shoulders hang over way past your shoulder. Here are some examples
What was the reason for not going with the costume system in gw? It seems superior too the current transmute system.
oh kitten lol then my flamethrower should be able to set it off. ok guys we got lots of conditions coming so make sure u stay infront of my bullets.
Why does shooting through Super Elixer say Remove Condition when it does not actually remove a condition? Dropping the field removes one but that’s it. Same thing applies to any light field I’ve shot through.
The shoulders from Sorrows Edge are awesome if you’re in light armor. The medium and heavy look like crap compared to them. Please let me wear the light ones. =)
The asuran tier 1 cultural gloves make all backpacks sideways when equipped. Does this happen with any other cultural armor? If you got this problem please share pics and info.
Put on a pair of Protean Gloves (Asuran Tier 1 Cultural Armor) and none of your packs will look right. Heres a some pics.

Protean Gloves (Cultural Armor Tier 1) with Godskull Targe
Without the gloves on the shield sits correctly on the back. Once you put the gloves on it does what you see in the picture. This is repeatable with the gloves and a shield, the rest of the armor makes no difference.
Just picked up a pair of Protean gloves and noticed that it makes me wear my shield sideways on my back. it looks really bad and goes away when i change out the gloves.
nvm im just a moron and was looking at the wrong coat. my only excuse would be sleep deprivation. close thread =)
problem is i did that and it gave me a coat that was not the duelist model lol.
Trying to get the PvP leather coat style and that should be the male duelist look. I go buy a duelist jacket with an icon that matches the pvp set and its something different. Once the item was in my inventory the icon was different than icon in trading post. please fix this or add preview options to the trading post
How do you guys feel useful with a pistol/conditions build?

Im in P/P/Crit gear with mf sigils, mf jewelry, and P/P/Cond weapons. I’d rather have a power build but i love my shield so I’m workin with what I got. Traits are 0/20/20/20/10 using Infused Precision, Fireforged trigger/ Explosive Descent or Energized Armor, Reinforced Shield/ Invigorating Speed, Deadly Mixture/ Kit Refinement or Speedy Kits. using p/s healing turret, FT, elixer gun, and elixer r. This build is alot of fun and useful in and out of dungeons. I’d love more raw dmg so things die faster but i manage.

I’m running p/s with flamerthrower and elixer gun. add 20% reduced cooldowns, 15% increased dmg, and kit refinement. I’m constantly doing direct dmg, condition dmg, and providing support. Never feel useless although I did see an engy sitting in the elixer gun a whole dungeon just autoattacking and I did think he was useless.
Yoda with a Gun
(Must be Asura for the Yoda effect)
My current build has been pretty successful for soloing and dungeons.
My traits are 0/20/20/20/10.
I’m using Infused Precision, Fireforged trigger/ Explosive Descent or Energized Armor, Reinforced Shield/ Invigorating Speed, Deadly Mixture/ Kit Refinement or Speedy Kits.
I’m using a pistol and shield with the healing turret, flamethrower, elixer gun, elixer R and Supply Crate. Wearing Pwr/Prec/Crit armor with mf sigils, mf jewelry and Pwr/Prec/Cond pistol and shield.
My playstyle is a kind of strategic chaos. With the swiftness and vigor uptime I’m very hard to hit, dodging almost constantly (being an Asura I feel like freakin Yoda!) I clear conditions like nobodies business providing consistent regen, debuffs, knockbacks, all while contributing solid condition and direct damage. I’m finding in the higher lvl dungeons I’m a little squishier than I like so I may change up the gear abit. This build is alot of fun if you enjoy constantly hopping in and out of kits and bouncing around like Yoda.
Thoughts?
I too like the idea of an elixir kit. To keep it from getting OP you could just put them all on the same cooldown timer but the cooldown varies depending which one you used. Having access to all of them at anytime would be fantastic.

Just noticed this today. Equip a kit, stow it, stow your pistol and shield. Presto! No more shield. Use a pistol skill then stow your weapons and the shield reappears. I havent tried this with a regular bundle but seeing as that’s what our kits amount to it’s probably the same.
CC Charles says no but we should keep this thread going so they’ll eventually implement something similar.
Title says it all. Works on land but not underwater.
same problem here
I came here to find a guild but with the current format its a PITA. Why not break this up into servers to make finding one easier.
passive sigils in the offhand dont change my stats at all either.
You can only have buffs from one of the stat stacking sigils at a time. Otherwise you could have one weapon for each stat and switch between them to get up to 25 stacks of each and run around with huge buffs.
Right but even passive sigils arent recognized. Why give me an upgrade slot in a shield if its useless?
hey animosity way to kitten up the thread with 4 repeat posting lol. and yeah this sucks. why even put an upgrade slot in a shield if you wont allow 2 sigils to be active
you may have two sigils equipped because your dual wielding but you will only get the benifit from one.
Dont change the traits please. Letting it apply when you equip a kit allows me to pop into my med kit, get a stack of vigor and swiftness, then hop right back out. If they took out the kit swap part they’d probly make it only apply when you have the kit equipped
Volley is on a 2 handed weapon and does not add 2s of poison with each hit. It’s not jumping through hoops either. The skill encourages you to learn how to strafe.
Please remove this post. I want dont want them to nerf my speedy kits trait. =)
I’ve read over and over again about this skill not working because the bullets don’t fire straight or always land on target. This is just your lack of imagination. Sometimes the way to use a skill is not explicit or obvious. Sometimes it requires a little trial and error. While I will admit that our class needs some work, this skill is not one of them. It’s been clear since I first started playing an engineer that to really make this class shine you need to MOVE. Strafe around your intended target and you’ll make every shot. Strafing or a little left and right jig will make sure they all hit. Its a hard hitting ability whose damage would probably be nerfed if every shot went perfectly straight and always hit your target. If you want to stand still and dps you’ve got the wrong game or the wrong class. If anything is wrong with this skill it’s that it occasionally just does not fire.
Dont change elixer U please. I love placing the random field infront of me, popping the actual elixer and then machine gunning through the field. You either confuse, blind, or remove conditions. I rarely see the benefit from the remove conditions but the confuse or blind is quite useful.
Is this intentional? Why even put an upgrade slot in shields if even the passive ones do nothing.
You are not alone. For all the beauty this game has to offer, the kitten up camera on the asura is really killing it for me. I want to make another asura but wont unless this issue is handled.
I have to agree with you there. I think a solution to balance issues concerning giving us weapon swap would be to disable your weapon swap if you have a weapon kit equipped. I’d rather run a pistol/shield and rifle build with all utilities either as gadgets or elixers. The weapon kits are neat but they feel mandatory in order to keep up with others ability to swap weapons. ie not fun
Can’t dye my aqua mask and I don’t know why. Its a big shiny silver thing that doesn’t go with the rest of my colors.
They’re only options and I’ve known a few “unnaturally” slim guys and girls. Games are not responsible for your kids morals or standards, you are. (not you you, the general all encompassing you)
This would be great. I’d really like to be able to switch builds and weapons out of combat . Having to go pay fee everytime i want to try a new build isnt that big of deal but that I have to go back to town and find a trainer is lame. Just give us an ooc ability that lets us change from one set of traits, weapons, and armor, to another. As an engineer its a real pain in thekitten already being limited to just a rifle a pistol and a shield. This would go a long way towards making it better. You can even put a bigkitten cooldown on it.
I miss the dmg and immobilize from the rifle but i definitely like P/S over duel pistols. I don’t like the pistol but if I want the shield I don’t have a choice =/
I agree that the pistol needs some work but I dont get all the complaints about the poison shot. Do a little jig left then a little jig right and all the shots go home. It takes practice but i usually land all the shots.
