engineer vs holosmith

in Engineer

Posted by: Azure.8670

Azure.8670

Holosmith is perfect for me. I love engineer but I absolutely detest having to swap to kits all the time. I love kits and I wish they were just alternate weapon choices for certain situations, but they are required for every rotation.

I enjoy both condi and power in this game, but the fact that grenades are basically required for both is beyond annoying. I dont mind using them, but for every rotation it makes me want to break my pc.

I thought scrapper would save my hands only to find out it sucks in pve. for pvp is amazing wont argue that, but for pve it was extremely under performing. which sucks because hammer is amazing.

Holosmith gives me straight dps, and I can keep all of my engineer utilities for team play with aoe heals and such

Soulbeast seems to be a better power spec

in Ranger

Posted by: Azure.8670

Azure.8670

What gamemode are we talking about?

If you want to play condi PvE, the dagger is not a good choice, not mh not oh.

As condi you take the bristleback as pet with SB and A/T and never enter beastmode unless oyu can immediately aactivate all 3 F skills in it (which is a somewhat decent way of putting out AoE condi burst). After that you go back to playing core ranger until the F skills are ready again.

Btw: I wouldn’t get hyped about the power burst that you achieve with a broken pet, with a 40% dmg buff on yourself (or the pet) and a Maul on GS that uses its own AoO atm. All these things are very likely to be nerfed.

im not excited and I except everything to be changed slightly. I just dont see how soul beast is a better option for condi rather than power. im going to try what you just said though

maybe im missing something, but soulbeast seems to perform pretty darn well as a burst dps melee class. Sword/axe GS with stone gazelle, sic em zeph… I dunno, seems pretty strong

marksmanship
beast mastery
sb

im impressed with the numbers im seeing, though I dont see what utility I offer…

I see no point to main hand dagger. It fits into the condi ranger theme, but condi ranger is so much about off hand torch and traps I fail to see how the dagger really adds to it. Axe is hot garbage, always will be, but axe 2 in fire fields still offers burning. dunno what dagger is really bringing

Risk vs Reward for weaver?

in Elementalist

Posted by: Azure.8670

Azure.8670

The whole spec is impossible risk with no reward.

Why the hell does barrier decay while being hit? Barrier not only needs a buff in the amount given per skill, but it needs to not decay unless you’re not taking any damage. If needed, just add a cap to it (and don’t make it this moronically low number like 2k). 5k barrier can be blasted through, but if it’s not, then it goes to waste.

Weaver is easily one of the worst specs I’ve ever tried. It does crap damage, it has crap defence, and it has crap mobility outside of a FA build.

are you joking???

Posted by: Azure.8670

Azure.8670

honestly it was the only elite spec besides soul beast that just didnt look good to me. And soul beast, numbers and trait wise looked great, I just didnt like its presentation.

Spellbreaker looks like a weak melee spec that will be annoying to fight in pvp but other than that meh.

holosmith looks like the new warrior imo

Does Tanking exist?

in Warrior

Posted by: Azure.8670

Azure.8670

The thing is, people still look at classes in GW2 the way they look at them in other games:

Warrior = Tank
Guardian = Off-tank/Healer
Elementalist = Ranged DPS/Healer
Ranger = Ranged DPS
etc.

GW2 isn’t structured like this. GW2 says “Here are classes. Classes have tools that make them fill a variety of roles in different ways. If you want to be tanky, build a class tanky and see what makes it different.” As to how well they’ve accomplished giving each class tanky/damage/support options, that’s a topic for another day, but fundamentally each class is designed around tools and playstyle, not a given role.

What’s contested is more the fact that tanking is owned by a fashionista class instead of either one of the heavy armor classes. This is absolute nonsense, counter-intuitive and misleading. And frankly as one of the classes that has the cool armors it’s disappointing to be incompetent as a tank, especially when the guy that tanks well wears a dress.

I don’t think warriors would object tanking belonging to guardians or revenants, as long as you get at least one valid tank option for one of the heavy armor class.

atleast guardians have guard in their name, ridiculous that warriors and guardians do not live up to the kitten namesake
Warriors are suppose to be good at fighting, not supporting
guardians are suppose to be good at guarding and light healing sure.

Its ass backwards when heavy armour cant do heavy armour things too. Why even bother.

Theres close to nothing that hits as hard as a condi warrior, if anything right now.

power warrior has always been extremely strong while giving offensive support. Warrior in every game is never the top damage dealer, just hangs out near the top while offering other things, just like gw2. Even in WoW Arms/Fury warrior hangs out near the top (sometimes drops to the middle) but never outclasses mage or rogue

Can we get some traits that change weapons?

like… a trait for necro axe to make it do more condi instead of power? anything remotely like this? I feel like so many weapons have just become useless over time but they could be good with minor tweaks.

Also, warrior sword 3 and axe 5 should be swapped

The problem in this game is the lack of progression.

While everyone claims to hate the gear treadmill, because I for the most part do as well, a huge part of mmos is the feeling of progressing and getting new gear.

This game has NOTHING to do besides chase skins and most of the best ones are in the gem store.

Its boring and its annoying. Ive been playing FF14 and WoW (only a little) lately and I completely look forward to the level cap increase and new gear ill eventually have to get

Seems like they have a theme. 1 Serious weapon to 1 silly/cute one.

Dreamer – Chuka
Quip – HOPE
Bifrost – Neveromore
You see the pattern here.

Flameseeker – Shooshado

I think it’s hella cute tho

aside from agreeing that it’s cute, i must object to your theory of a pattern. Bifrost and Nevermore are both serious looking, and so are Astralaria and Frostfang

bifrost is one of the most joke looking weapons. its a rainbow tadpole

To add onto my previous post, I basically havent played in over 6 months or so. I know if I log on right now my warriors gear and set up will be meta (unless a patch changed something, but lets be serious GS is the only warrior weapon) and I will run the same fractals I did 3 years ago.

I love EVERYTHING about this game except for the lack of game there is

Azure.8670

Chasing gear isnt important. Thats one of the things I loved about GW2, but at the same time I recognize weaknesses when I see them. When HoT came out I was beyond excited and then after unlocking my classes there was nothing left to do. I have 14 legendaries and over 7000 hours in the game between 2 accounts; its safe to say I far prefer this game over any other MMO I just cannot justify playing this game anymore.

I dont know what needs to be added tbh. I feel like there are no rewards anymore. I would gladly chase skins until the world ended, but so many skins are locked behind the gem store that its just annoying. When they didnt release a full set of legendaries that would a huge blow to me, because regardless of how boring this game became at least I had that but thats gone too.

played every day since beta and now I cant get myself to even log in. I havent played since about 4 months after HoT came out.

I never thought id say this but the lack of upgrades is annoying. My characters have been wearing the same gear so long I cannot get myself to log in and find any goals to accomplish. I look at the lil desktop icon and think of my guildmates and friends but I have no drive to play this game and havent touched the living story yet either

Guardian dps is hot garbage because its too situational. Theres very few enemies that sit in one spot and let you spam hammer 1 for max dps, and when it comes to projectile destruction rev is the way to go because it maintains most of its use while doing that (boon enhancement).

The new map is the smallest in the game, and because there are no rewards tied to it there is no reason to play it more than once, which i already have.

The story is nice but predictable, no achievements tied to it like Season 2 stories did so there is no reason to replay it, already finished the story.

Fractal is cool but again no new rewards to work towards so doing the fractal once and i’m done.

So that is it, i am now extremely bored again for 3-4 months.

What you mean no reward tied to it? There are new stats swapable ascended gear with bloodstone capacitor, also did you get all the gliding skills? And again its 2-3 month.
Saying its the smallest map is just simply not true, how about we take all the playable land mass excluding the playable air space and compare to other map or like half of DT. Saying BF is smallest map just based on how big it is on the word map is just…. wrong.

what would you think is the smallest map

A friend in game told me that GW2 is casual and not a game to be played as your main game. This was a slap to the face to me as I have been playing since launch, have 16 legendaries, over 20 characters across 2 accounts and too many thousands of hours to admit.

I decided to play WoW (ive played many other MMOs, but never WoW) and I realized how much I miss this gear grind. It occurred to me that ive been wearing zerker armor on about 14 toons for over 3 years and never really had to change much, I just spend money on cosmetics.

Im not… I accept that this game is digital gi joe, dress em up and play type of deal, I get it, but im also into the story and its been coming so slowly that im really losing interest in this game. Im happy people are excited, im excited, but I was halfway through LS3 today and turned it off to fire up Overwatch. This game has lost its hold on me and some of my close friends. I dunno, im REALLY hoping this season turns it around, ramps up the difficulty (I found the new map enemies HARD, but this games community will demand a nerf its just how it is) and goes heavy with story.

Did GW2 fail in China?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Azure.8670

Azure.8670

This game failed in China due to the end game. Once you have berserker gear, which does not take long, the rest of the game is making yourself look cool and follow the story. The story has been at a halt for the long time and all the new looks are behind the gem store.

As much as I complained about gear grinds in old mmos, it did give me something to do. I have over 20 ascended sets and I’ve had the best gear for years. I enjoy the game because I’m a fan, but China operates different

Posted by: Azure.8670

Azure.8670

Actually I think banners and their style are perfect. What needs to be changed is what happens when you pick them up. They should have an f1 attached to them that is extremely powerful but will break the banner. They also need to give each banner something somewhat devastating like icebow 4, it doesn’t have to be dps, but something like an aoe fear or taunt etc. There needs to be reason to want to hold that banner

Legendary weapons

Azure.8670

theyre giving out 400k to people for winning pvp tournies and they get under 2k views on twitch and 300 on their lil streams.

that money could be put towards more employees to make a better product, but they are BENT on esports because of the general success esports is having. This game does not have a draw, it is what it is, it just doesnt. Ths is one of the more popular MMOs but its pvp, while it is good, just doesnt attract people to watch it and they dont market the pvp well at all. It doesnt help that they made the base game free so people could hop into pvp for free and the elite specs absolutely rip the old specs apart, it actually turns people off

Legendary weapons

Posted by: Azure.8670

I… still don’t get it.

I mean is all this really over the new legendary’s ending with a new shortbow? We did get new legendary’s.

Not many, but they delivered on the promise of new legendary weps and the process of crafting them VS RNG.

How many more were you expecting? And are they really at all that big a deal? Moreover it’s not like they said no new legendary weapons ever again.

I see so many people here who have been utterly critical of Anet in the past suddenly up in arms over legendary weapons?

Like it’s a wonder some of you are still even here at all but of all things you can be mad about, it’s… legendary weapons?

A peripheral part of the game aimed at only the hardcore audience? Really? That’s the torch you want to take up now? Hahaha… alright.

Stay salty, friends.

No, this is not about being salty, this is about content. This expansion offered very little content and removed a decent amount. We are not even complaining about that, that ship has sailed and we have no choice but to take it. The game has 3, yes THREE, new legendaries, which is horribad but so be it, we accept it, that ship has sailed. Now you announce ONE MORE is coming, and thats that for who knows how long????

WvW has been all but shut down, it hasnt received love besides maps no one can find anyone on, which is more than a punishment than anything else.

They refuse to balance pvp and some classes are out right worthless.

PVE content is getting less and less updates with less content than usual. Legendaries were something people made during content droughts, now we dont even have that, and more droughts than ever.

Its not JUST the legendaries dude, its all the nonsense surrounding it. You dropped your white cape btw.

Just stepping back in here for a second. It seems most of us agree that this game is going in a terrible direction, and a few just came to belittle me or someone else they dont agree with, and honestly thats ok as well.

I see a lot of people quoting what Vayne said and trying to dissect his comments into something that its not. The fan base during season 2 openly cried for an expansion, not because they were dissatisfied with season 2 entirely, but because we were getting MORE non permanent content. The updates themselves gave players something to do, but when we saw we werent getting a new race, werent getting a new profession, new weapons etc… thats when people said we need “more”. People DID ask for an expansion, many people, many many many threads, but NO ONE asked for the content to dry up. Now, some of us KNEW there would be a content drought to make an expansion because Anet did have one planned originally, but not everyone saw it that way or expected it. I can say that I personally wanted an expansion if it meant making the game better, but the long ridiculous wait combined with the lack of content really put my own foot in my mouth. I knew there would be a trade off, expected it even and was ok with it until later reviewing the situation.

Do I think GW2 is the best game overall on the market? yes. If you purchased this game within the past 6 months or so you are a lucky soul that is going to enjoy this for many many more hours. Its the souls that have been here since the beginning, or near the beginning, that are suffering. I laugh even typing this, but its like watching True Blood from season 1 and getting to season 4 and its just getting awful, but the people that just started at season 3 or 4 are absolutely in love. We simply see what was, and what is.

I dont hate this game, and I dont like BDO more than this game. I play BDO because I enjoy it more than this game, and I post on this forum because I care about this game.

Also for the person that said I should of seen this was a casual game and its my own fault, please.. just no. Its not about the game being casual or the PVE being fluff or any of that, its about the fact that I Love this game and the world it created. Im a fantasy guy, I love elves and talking giant chickens and all that stuff that gaming brings me and this game did it A+, so no, I wont say that due to the fact im an Old School MMO player I should of seen this game for w hat it is because its simply not true. I was around BEFORE mmos needed “end game” and I still dont think “End Game” truly exists, I just love MY game.

the Living story updates were exactly what this game needed, they were just doing them incorrectly. I would not of minded a full blown expansion if they werent busy doing LS before that, but they just cut out content and rushed an expansion and it didnt work. What would of been better is if they did LS, but it unlocked new elite specs and classes and races and such, which honestly I expected them to do long ago and it didnt happen. Anet is just a huge mess right now and im not sure THEY know how to recover, and if they do, im not sure its the people in charge

What happened was the fan base wasn’t happy with the living story so we switched to an expansion model and the expansion didn’t do well. That’s what happened. If the expansion had done better, we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

Not going against this at all. It just sucks, and im venting and apologize. Youve been around these boards a long time yourself and youve seen every type of post there is and I know none of this shocks you lol, but still, im just so annoyed.

Hello everyone. I expect very few people to read this because this is going to be the longest post ever. I also dont think many people will care, or agree with much I have to say… but I just have to get this all off my chest.

Before I get into this im going to give some background on myself. I am a lifelong gamer, I learned how to walk playing track and field on NES. Besides women in yoga pants, video games are my biggest joy. I nearly failed out of middle school and high school due to my obsession with Ultima Online. I loved EQ, but UO had the strongest hold on me. It was an addiction that most people couldnt possibly understand. I vowed to never play another MMO again, and stuck with the lesser, inferior style of game out there. Eventually I ran into Dark Souls (my beloved, oh my beloved Dark Souls) and needed something post DS to get my pvp in. I stumbled across a Guild Wars 2 pvp trailer and my jaw dropped. EVERYTHING looked perfect! Mages, sword, beastmen, speed, all types of everything a pvp starved man like myself could possibly want. A few months later, I purchase GW2 day one…. only to find… its an MMO. I had NO idea what I was getting myself into…. Crafting, story, wvw (it was amazing at launch, believe me.. we had a blast) I didnt even get into pvp because WVW and PVE was enough for me.

Here we are, 3+years, 2 accounts, 7200 hours and 15 legendaries later.

Im still here.

GW2 is not here.

What happened to my game? What happened to everything? This game means a lot to me; the person I consider my best friend in the world I actually met in game 2 weeks into it, “power leveling” off killing Moas. Hes the only person left of my original group and he has no intentions of quitting. He HATES HoT, except Dragon Stand, and I have constantly jump kicked him back into line with my white knight armor on (brought toyou by the gem store of course).

Now.. not everything has been perfect. ANET has made a lot of decisions that I have not understood over the years, but nothing to make me really question the game to its core. My huge complains have always been about the lack of variety of weapon uses in PVE, the overall design of wvw, and the entire state of the Ranger since the day shortbow was nerfed. I even.. cheated.. on GW2 a few times. I admit this, I bought Wild Star, I bought FF14, none of them could hold me. FF14 is a great game its just too slow for me, GW2 has unlocked a certain kind love of combat I didnt have before. Wild Star was on verge to being amazing, and if it had more population I would of given it more of a chance, but no. Heck, I even downloaded Blade and Soul and I RAN back to GW2 faster than I could log out. I tried all of these games just because, with no intention of giving up GW2.

Well, it finally happened. I bought preodered the division (still not sure why) and decided to buy “that Black desert whatever game” as something to mess with while I waited for the division, due to hating the current state of PVP in GW2, and the lack of wvw, and well, I have every legendary id possibly want including astralaria, I ran out of PVE things to do. So I decide hey what the heck, the new legendaries are coming soon, ill just log in for my daily and to help my boys farm for whatever they want etc, and when theyre not on ill play these other games.

I instantly disliked the division despite playing it in Beta, and I HATED BDO with all my heart. However, I decided to give BDO more time because theres an armor in it that looks like the armor from Dark Souls so I just wanted to mess with that for fun. The more I played BDO the more I realized how old school it is, and it reminds me of Ultima Online…. a game I forever love. Upon messing with BDO, I hit up the GW2 forums and saw Colin was leaving, and thats when everything changed.

I sit here now, playing BDO daily (this isnt a GW2 vs BDO thread, not going in that direction guys sorry) I constantly read GW2 forums and see how down the community is. The forums, and the Official Forums (aka Reddit) have never been kind, but its been my digital newspaper for 3 years now and I have no intentions of that stopping. Upon logging back into GW2 yesterday, everything felt wrong and alien. I no longer recognize this game as the game I loved. I COMPLETELY understand all the GW1 lovers that could never get into GW2, or atleast didnt like GW2 as much as GW1 because of how different it is, because thats how I feel now. I have defended HoT up and down until my toon turned blue in the face. I never understood why so many people knocked it, but now… now its clear as day that ive taken time away.

HoT offers nothing. I am a grinder, I will grind until my hands break and my veins blow up, and I dont mind it at all, but theres no REASON to grind now. Precursor crafting is a great idea, and if it was implemented at launch or near then, it would be even cooler, but for people like me or even people NOT like me, its too little too late. Astralaria was kinda fun making except for the huge time gates, or huge gold sinks to avoid them. Each map is broken down like a giant mini game, which is cute because silverwaste was similar and I loved SW, but the beauty to SW (not counting the JP) is that SW is small and you get a lot done and tons of reward. HoT is broken down into 3 (4, but DS is JUST an event) maps where you run around completing events for loot for THAT map, and the rewards suck. The best skins are the AB weapons and you cant even just flat out buy them with currency. Honorable mention to Bladed Armor as well, I think its the one really good thing they added.

Besides the maps being… what they are, I can look beyond that. I look to PVP and I see a mess. I see anet trying SO HARD to make this an esport game and doing it completely wrong. I have never understood this attempt, this game doesnt offer good enough pvp to even be close to esport level. The quality of combat is there, its fluid and the classes are different enough to make it work. The problem is the TERRIBLE AND AWFUL lack of balance that every other community just laughs at. We have some of the best and unique classes, not counting elite specs, and theyre just… nowhere near viable for the most part.

The decision made long ago to be quiet on subjects until after things were completed was the single worst decision ever made. Without filtering and understanding the input the community wants, you simply cannot give what is required to maintain a healthy gaming community. Now I know the devs read the forums, or atleast read the official forum known as Reddit, but the lack of communication over the years has been disgusting. We received an expansion with WvW maps so tremendous and worthless, all those man hours could have been used towards something greater. We didnt receive a new race, Living story is taking forever, and now Legendaries are on… hold. PVP balance is complete garbage and people are leaving the game in droves; the communication with the pvp scene is the worst ive ever seen in a game. WvW basically got removed from the game, its the SAME GARBAGE REWARDS since launch and no efforts have been made to make the experience more fun, or better, just… SOMEWHAT prettier.
Dungeons being basically removed wasnt a big deal to me at first, but after a month or so I Realized I lost one of the daily things I did and had less reason to play. I LOVED the changes that let you pick what frac you wanted to do, but then all we did was run mossman and bloom, and that got boring as can be and awful. :\

I have lost so many guildies (And found many of them in that other game) that its absurd to me the direction this game is going. I just watched the Wooden Potatoes video and thats what inspired me to speak up, as he repeated one thing Mr. Mike O’Brien said. The fact that they he doesnt think HoT was half an expansion ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIES ME!!!! Is THIS the amount of content we are to expect in the future? If so count me out, seriously, because as much as I defended and loved HoT on launch, its stale and played out already. This is coming from someone that is a grindaholic. The fact that when I think of gw2, or mention it, all I think of and hear is the word “disappointment” is awful. I know MMO communities are probably the hardest community to satisfy, but you have to TRY. I feel like theres been no attempt at giving people what they want anymore. I apologize to all the people that I have shamefully bashed for hating on HoT, I really do, and I apologize to all the people that claimed anet had no idea what they were doing with this game even years ago, because I see now they were right. This isnt an overnight thing, or even HoT in truth, its the leadership and management of this game that has gone down the drain. So much attention to art, and so little to everything else… its disturbing. I am done with this game until Living story 3 or next expansion, because logging in is friggen painful at this point. I now wear my armor Black, and not White.

That is all, sorry for the long ridiculous post

Colin leaving was huge to me

And I personally more and more have the impression that it was a necessary step to start solving the issues. MO is definitely changing the way the company responds publicly, he is not hiding behind silence. Things are changing. Things are adressed. Not all is going to be well immediately, but it seems that finally the ship is moving again.

There will still be more unpleasant news coming up and things may be advancing too slowly. But the only way out is to move ahead.

Im not going to argue with you because I hope youre right. I love this game, but in the state it is in now, im just going to play BDO. I will NEVER truly quit GW2 as long as new content continues you roll out, but in its state now, im going to ride with you and hope its getting better

After playing BDO since release earlier this month (not here to talk about BDO vs GW2 or anything.. yet) I have to say the sheer amount of GW2 players in this game is astounding. I have recognized so many players in game and partied up with people that I know from GW2 that its honestly dumbfounding. I cannot imagine how much the gw2 population is currently dwindling, kitten many people are in BDO (and I imagine other mmos as well?).

I NEVER thought id find an mmo, or another game for that matter, that would take any decent amount of time from me besides GW2. Over 7000 hours and im not tired of the game at all, but I do see the game completely different now. Colin leaving was huge to me, and I defended the expansion beyond belief, but now looking at it without touching the game for the better part of a month, I have a MUCH different opinion on the state of the game. I was in the middle of typing up basically an essay on how I feel about GW2 currently and saw this thread. I agree with everything you said OP

I do think warrior is one of the better 1v1 classes honestly but that’s about it. 1v1 means nuttin

Pretty sure the devs don’t play this game. I think they play other mmos but work on this one as their 9 to 5

Axe 5 does like 85% the damage of hundred blades and u can move

Exactly and no one uses it. Stationary 100b is better than moving axe 5 and it’s only 15 percent weaker.

100b is fine
