Guild Wars 2

Question: Is it possible at all to get HoT-statted aquabreathers at this point? Or will the be available at all?

Kind regards,

Been here since day 1 !

Mini avian 3 pack hasnt been around for almost 2.5 years now. Be nice to have it again..

Mini Avian 3-pack would be nice to have… with the mini owl, raven and hawk.

Dear Anet,

Is there anyway this will ever be re-released? Back in 2014 this was released containing a mini raven, mini owl and a mini hawk.

Seeing the influx of Nevermore owners, I can personally imagine this to be sold like cotton candy at a fair.

Hope we’ll see this item soon™

Avian Mini 3 – pack to be released in Gem Store again… Raven mini..muchly wanted as a Nevermore owner…

Mini Avian 3 Pack to be returned? Pretty Please?

Avian mini 3 pack to be returned in the Gem Store? Pretty Please?

Jup, definately the Avian 3 pack to go on Sale or just be brought back. More dancing volumes would be nice too

The return of the Avian 3 pack, containing the mini Raven, Owl and Hawk.

Also more dancing volumes would be cool…

Aerick Blackmoore.8167:

What I don’t understand is why they made the Avian 3 pack account bound when it was first sold. . .

When it was first sold it was a normal gem store mini pack and they’ve all been account bound. Which made sense at the time since it was a direct sale so there was no risk of people ending up with useless extras or spending money to try and get it and ending up with nothing.

But I agree, since they were added to black lion chests instead they really should be tradable so people who are stuck with more than they want can sell them to people who want them.

Thanks for the explanation, sounds plausible indeed, shame they can’t retoractively undo the account bound status on those Ravens, oh well, something to look forward to for… another 2.5 years.

So what’s the list so far:
-Inventor’s Sunglasses
-Aviator Sunglasses
-Boxing Gloves
-Avian 3 Pack
-Sport and Wide Rim sunglasses
-Viper armor
-Expansion slots

What else?

Krypto.2069:

Like you, OP: Avian 3 Mini Pack – contains Mini Raven, Owl and Hawk.

I made Nevermore, so it would be nice to have the Raven mini.

Which is the exact same reason I would’ve liked to see them return in March Sale, I’m going for Nevermore too.
What I don’t understand is why they made the Avian 3 pack account bound when it was first sold. . .

So now that the March Spring Sale is over, what items did you miss during the Sale?

Personally, the Avian 3 Mini Pack – contains Mini Raven, Owl and Hawk.

For some I suppose it would be the Wide Rim Glasses and the Boxing Gloves.

Anything you would like to see return in a Summer or Winter Sale?

Kind regards,

Aerick

@ Dean and Randulf – that’s nice of you,…if only that was possible . .. And I quote the Raven, Nevermore. . . we’ll lets hope that won’t be the case…

Dear Anet,

Now that it’s Christm…Arch. . . will we see the Mini Avian 3 Pack again in the gemstore? As a soon-to-be Nevermore owner, it is a bare necessity to have a Mini Raven by my side.

Thank you kindly for a definately maybe anwser !

Kind regards,

Aerick

Avian 3 Pack… I want and or quite possible ‘need’ the mini Raven ! (you know, as a soon-to-beNevermore owner)

Blood Ritual: – Enchantment Spell. For 8…13…14 seconds, target touched ally gains +3 Energy regeneration. Blood Ritual cannot be used on the caster.

What was meant is:

Blood Renewal: – Enchantment Spell. For 7 seconds, you gain +3…5…6 Health regeneration. When Blood Renewal ends, you gain 40…160…190 Health.

And I think Blood renewal is a fitting name for skill #5 Hammer – Blood Renewal

Thank you for editing the OP Tadsoul.

I should look into renaming the 5th skill! Idea behind the hammer is as a support type weapon but an idea like Phoenix on skill nmbr 5 is a good suggestion.

About the Glyphs, I was pointed out that under differen tcircumstances they do different things, so,… I’ll be redisigning them to work with Death Shroud.

That also anwsers the question about a new Shroud, no not a new one but different mechanics added to it.

Kind regards,

Courage.

Kodama.6453:

Having spirits in this game would be kinda interesting. But I think their role is already filled with turrets (immobile minion type). Anet already mentioned that engineer is what they had in mind for ritualist back in gw1 times.

And another problem: The skill type shouldn’t be glyphes if they aren’t changing with some mechanic of the new elite spec like a new shroud. ^^
Typically, glyphes change what they are doing, if you are in a different stance. Elementalist glyphes change for their attunement, druid gylphes change if you are in celestial avatar mode. So if necromancers get glyphes, they should change if you are in shroud.

See I knew there was a thing I was overlooking when thinking of Glyphs as a mechanic for the Cultist. Thank you for pointing it out! Back to the drawing table.

Greetings fellow Necromancers and Reapers !

With the addition of the Reaper we’ve seen a lot of positive changes to our class.
Yet, personally, I miss the support side our class used to have way back in Guild Wars 1.
We used to support through Enchantments and all sorts of good things in Tombs of Primeval Kings. All the while we had to manage our health, because of the Sacrifice mechanic.

So, I thought of The Cultist: An Elite Necromancer Specialization that uses the Hammer as a weapon and support while also granting the class the use of Glyphs.
With Sacrifice as a new mechanic as opposed to a new Shroud form.

Now, what is the Sacrifice mechanic you may ask.

Sacrifice is a resource cost required by a few skills, mostly from the necromancer profession. After successfully activating these skills, you forfeit a fraction of your maximum health, making it possible to sacrifice yourself to death.
Sacrifice counts as health loss and cannot be eliminated by any means, although you can reduce sacrifice costs by lowering your maximum health.

Now onto the Cultists Hammer Skills!

   1s Activation time

Dear Reader, if you made it this far, thank you so much.

I would greatly appreciate the feedback regarding this concept for the Necromancer, the idea of Hammer, Glyphs and Sacrifice as added mechanics. Also any feedback regarding the balancing of these skills is greatly appreciated.

Next week on the 7th of February I will continue with the Glyphs for the Cultist and the idea is to post the Traits on the 21st of February.

These Spirits make up a few of the things the base Necromancer has been lacking, access to Evades and Blocks.

And yes they are ofcourse taken from the old Guild Wars 1 Ritualist.

Again, your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for fixing this.

Sadly it appears to still be disabled with todays patch. The silence regarding this matter is rather deafening.

Maybe it’ll be fixed on the 17th when the Raid goes live and the new legendaries will be made available.

Quon Star.4678:

Does anyone know how much of the collection you can actually finish before the fix? I just killed the ice elemental in the Snow Blind Fractal and it counted.

Sadly no, I tried the Dry Top one and it gave the content disabled message.

Any word when this is being reactivated, i crafted the jar before reading this and now i dont know when I’ll be able to finish my Journey.

This weapon just needs to happen for my Norn Necromancer.

Thread Necromancy inbound ! Did this surface anywhere yet? Or is it still even live on any test realms? (dream item)

6/10 I’m not really sure where you are heading with the look atm.

Had the exat same thing happen today on my 2nd character, completed Snowden Drifts and Mount Maelstorm, saw i also needed the 2 PoI’s in LA so went in and got those explored, but no reward

Just had the exact same issue as Roach. Got the 2 new PoI’s during the Invasion but did not receive my reward for 100% completion. And yes these 2 PoI’s were the only missing ones for 100%.

Tengu as a race would be great !

Same goes for Hylek and Centaur from Elona, other races im not too sure.

New classes, I don’t know how well they would manage balance wise, new weapons seems more vialbe, Whips for instance

1. Tengu
2. Hylek, could be from Elona to avoid the Racial Sympathy pitfall.
3. Centaur, again could be from Elona to avoid the ‘black race’, albeit with redeeming qualities, they have in Tyria.

Secretly wants a Tengu Thief, Hylek Necromancer and Centaur Elementalist

Dear Anet,

From the wiki it is apperent you are aware of the following, minor bug that is there in regards to waterbreather skins.

The medium and heavy ones are properly working, but us light armor wearers would like to have a different skin too. A few months ago we were able to get the circlet, now, its just a regular waterbreather skin. Please reverse this tiny little bug for us.

Thank you kindly.

-B.

Dear fellow Necromancer enthusiasts,

Bear with me on this theory crafted mindset:

First of the build:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fQAQNArYWjMax7tbab87JEoH7CuAiRKKmghSB8kOA-jQDBYfIYhgohYYNBiqIYkHJk+AKHqIaslhFRjVdDTHjIq2YWo2iWRLKAIC-e

Secondly you will notice that there is a few things missing, namely;

Superior Sigil of Corruption, correct, this would be on an alt Rabid exotic weapon set with dual Sup.Sigils to quickly power the stacks up to 25. (Kill coyote’s / wolves)

And the secondary utility buff;

Again, correct, this would be the Toxic Focusing Crystal; adding 100 Condition Damage and 10% Condition Duration.

Combined these two added buffs would supply a +350 Condition Damage and 10% Condition Duration increase. For a total of:

100% Conditon Duration on all conditions / 150% On Fear
1644 Condition Damage.

The idea behind this usage of Traveler runes is taking advantage of the 25% Movement speed increase aswell as the 10% Condition / 15% Boon Duration.

This could somewhat counter those -36% /-40% Condition duration Food’s that are so popular these days.

Give us a 25% movement buff without equiping Signet of the Locust. Give us acces to a stun breaker with Spectral Armor.

Still leave flexibility when sieging, traits can be modded to Wells are groundcast. To kitten the walls and such / Help support with Well of Blood / Power.

The drawback would be that we would lose a rather large chunk of Condition Damage in an already unhealthy Condition Damager environment.

Please do leave constructive feedback, as it is appreciated.

Thanks !

Today I created a topic about the new weapon I’d like to see and ; guess what ! It was the Whip. However I deldeted it to make it more centralized discussion to here.

I would like to see the Whip on classes like the Necromancer, Ranger, Thief and Mesmer.

I find it would all fit thematically to each and any one of them

Maybe vary in some range differences between the classes.

Bleeds, CC, disarms, and such all fit the weapon type perfectly and some of the suggestions mentioned here, are exactly what i had in mind for them too !

Rend Ashbourne – Ash Legion Thief.
His favorite sparring partner? Dinky. His Order? The Order of the Whispering Kittens, ofcourse !

That’s a good name too! Mine’s called Braegir, no real menaing to it as far as I can tell. Plus it’s fun hearing ppl over voice chat trying to pronounce it.

Hey folks,

Just thought I’d try on here to gather a bunch of adventurers for these two paths for completion of Arah. Seeing as ingame it’s bloody kitten hard to find a group of people to undergo these 2 paths.

I’m on during most weekends, and pretty much always up for a good solid attempt at either path, so throw me a PM and let’s get ourselves that Dungeon Master title.
