Race: Any
Sex: Male
Issue: Red Lines in Male Sneaktheif Coat Armor in the middle and down the sides. It’s a common problem everyone has, esp with black (example I pulled off google)
Saw this red tear down the center of the SneakTheif Coat this morning, & was curious if this was just me or are other people having this problem too. Any tips to fix this?
go full dire
if you 1v1 a lot you’ll get bored pretty fast as this set is super easy and forgiving
go balthazar rune as it give bruning which is huge dmg ppl wont expect thieves to do and perplexity only give you 3 stacks mainly and you already got 5 with trait
use 10,0,30,0,30
about duration
AA will tick 4 seconds so 100% is 8, 75% is 7 50% is 6 and 25% is 5
shadow shot and BA (trait) is 5 seconds so 100% is 10, 9 sec is 80% , 8 sec 60%, 7 sec is 40%, 6 is 20%
balthazar rune is 4 sec burning so 100% is 6 , 66% is 5
with 2 in DA line and 40% food you will have 50% condi duration so to go higher you will need 25% for bleeding which will be trade off with condi dmg and only give you 1 sec tick which is about 600 dmg while more condi dmg will benefit also torment and confusion
so i say aim for 60% (with malice sigil)
you will have burning 6 seconds , torment and confusion 8 sec, bleeding 6 sec
you will do in 6 seconds around 3k dps which is 18k dmg
I changed the traits to much better ones. They’re self-explanatory.
I don’t think BZB meant to take Focused Rituals and Ritual of Protection when he doesn’t have a single well. It’s probably supposed to say Staff Mastery and Weakening Shroud.
Correct, just a mixup on my part. Should be Staff Mastery and Reapers Protection.
@ traits:
Runes of the necro are ok, but I’d only take them if I really wanted 100% fear duration. There are a lot of good/better alternatives like Scavenging, Perplexity, Nightmare.
Hm so then I’d be at just 80% fear duration, and I wouldn’t be getting that extra tick. Even with the toxic tuning crystal that would just be 90%. Seems like a waste not to have it tick 2×. Though Runes of the Nightmare sound tempting. I’ll prolly end up swapping 6 spite to 6 soul reaping if I want to go that route.
-Swapped spiteful marks with chill of death for more boon removal.
-Swapped closer to death with dhuumfire, the burn really helps your dps when your fear is on cd.
-Using Life Blast more often i’m trying Reapers might instead of spiteful spirit for + might. Death’s Embrace is also tempting to test out
-As needed swap 6 in spite for 6 in Soul Reaping for the + stability kills & utility
@gear:
-Swapped my raid armor for dire & Runes of Scavenging
-Will probably swap to runes of the nightmare in future
-Went with horn as I feel the daze and cripple are more threatening in wvw
Been away from GW2 since they introduced the new Grandmaster Traits. Wanted to spruce up my Necro Terrormancer Build for EotM. Here’s what I had so far.
EDIT: Big Changes per Flow & Phenn’s feedback on gw2guru, really liking Master of Terror to free up rune possibilities (nightmare), dire, armor, and 10 into soul reaping & 30 into curses lets you use to buff the duration & cd of all spectral skills. Swap Reapers protection for greater marks in zergs to break up lines.
Can I get an update on when this would be fixed? Totally loving the acrobatics of my warrior asura – but its really silly to hear only half of my hits not make a sound.
This nerf was unnecessary. The whole boon battery mantra created from EA kept eles interesting for me. It was MUCH more intense and satisfying when fighting with staff to manage your energy & utilize blast finishers to help your team. It was a role no one else could provide.
At least give us blast finishers on our EA spell activation or this trait is completely worthless.
