Tomorrow's PoI: What do you want to know about Pact Commander masteries?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Cilph.6758

Cilph.6758

Questions about the Pact Commander line:

  • Does this require the Commander’s Compendium in any way?
  • What measures will be taken to ensure people representing as newbie guides don’t abuse this position or use it merely as a status symbol?
  • Is the faster ressing based on actual level, or scaled level? Would I still ress people faster in lower level zones. (would seem strange if it weren’t)

I actually like underwater combat. It’s just that ANet seems to put in so little effort.

Underwater Combat is cancelled. Pretty much.

I predict Heart of Thorns will have no underwater areas, and Jormag will freeze over all existing waters we can swim in, killing all the poor Quaggan.

[PvE] What do warrior condi builds look like?

Like I said, (Perma-)Fury uptime. Remember Warrior has traits for bleed/vuln on crit as well.

I don’t care about perfect DPS. I want good DPS, and enjoy playing. I don’t enjoy Greatsword because it roots you in place. That’s it.

Back on topic:

I’m currently using Sword/Axe. I understand that Axe 5 has horrible DPS, but I rely on Axe 4 to build up a good uptime of Fury. Using the trait, banner, and fury alone I can already get 50% precision. Nearly 100% including gear. Are there better sources of Fury so I can switch my offhand? But then again, the whirl finisher on Axe 5 is kinda neat.

What would you say the optimal mix between ferocity (Zerker) and condi (Sinister) is?

Also, am I right in assuming that the 15% attack speed from Dual Wielding comes down to a 15% damage boost (+ crit procs)? Because I find it more enjoyable over Berserker’s Power.

Emberclaw Skill Point @ Iron Marches

Posted by: Cilph.6758

Cilph.6758

Don’t see the problem. I was able to solo this on my Mesmer and Warrior, who’ve both completed the map.

As for the skillpoint (which is in Fireheart Rise) Jack of Tears is talking about, that one isn’t all that difficult either as long as you hurry and get out of there before the entire map is after you.

Is Mesmer the worst class in the game for Dungeons?

in Mesmer

Posted by: Cilph.6758

Cilph.6758

Heck yeah. I rolled a Warrior to play dungeons with instead of my 80 Mesmer because the only thing I was good for was Time Warp, Null Field and Feedback.

And this is why most people thing mesmers are bad. Because most people do better when they play a class that you can faceroll through a dungeon. This isn’t wrong, this is why those other classes were made.
This isn’t just my opinion either. Arena Net said they released info about classes based on their complexity. Warrior was one of the first to be released. Mesmer was the very last. They MADE mesmers to be harder to play.
But this doesn’t mean mesmers are bad. This just means they are harder to play.

I absolutely love playing my Mesmer, but I feel bad when grouping with friends because I know my Warrior can just faceroll and be of more help than I am then. I’m not an idiot when it comes to Mesmers. I don’t have a crappy build, I know what I’m doing and I’ve played one in GW1 for quite a while.

When a class is harder to play, this should have a benefit to it. Even when played by a professional, the class is just inferiour compared to another professional playing a Warrior.

I mean, kittens, Mesmers can’t throw their illusionary Greatsword behind them, while Warriors can (Warrior GS #4 skill, works like Mesmer #2). I feel something more is at play here.

You don’t see any Mesmers in Orr because Orr is nothing more than a who-can-tag-the-fastest funfest, and Mesmers, aside from a (now even more nerfed) Chaos Storm, or Phantasmal Berserker have no fast AoE skills available.

Warriors pretty much have it all. Damage, Range, Durability, Support, the works. I’ve shelved my 80 Mesmer because the only thing he seems to be good for is Time Warp and Feedback.

I get that Mesmers are good in PvP, but it’s pretty poor design that Warriors can just faceroll their keyboards and outperform Mesmers in PvE.

does Explorer Noble have crit % set bonus?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Cilph.6758

Cilph.6758

Crit Damage is not the same thing as Crit Chance. A successful Crit (determined by crit chance) does (50crit damage)% damage. At level 80, every 21 precision above base grants 1% extra crit chance.

I admit I have joined in these discussions on WSR. I’m a Dutchman and I find the use of languages other than English on EU servers over mapchat incredibly rude. English is an international language and most Europeans speak it.

I don’t care what you speak over guild or party, but leave it out of map.

Glacial Lodestones misspelled as Lonestones, cheap as a result!

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Cilph.6758

Cilph.6758

I’ve only heard about this via-via but Glacial Lodestones are a misspelled item and are therefore about five times as cheap as all the other lodestones. 20s instead of 1g. It might be wise to stock up on these to make a profit later.

The only other lodestone that is as cheap are the ones obtained from massive CoF farming that has been going on.

WHAT THE HELL is wrong with you people?

THIS. THIS I truly do not understand. If you see no problem with giving people Permanent Portable XYZ, why did DD owners, who paid an extra €20, get limited use items?

I was exploring WvW and wanted to get the skill point in the top left corner of the map(The ratmen are there) So as I get to the spot I see about 50 Northern Shiverpeak bots, just running around in a circle. What they are doing the events there over and over again. I got up above them and shot at them with my bow over and over again. Not one ever came up after me.

Can the GMs please look into this.

You should’ve just killed them all for those sweet Badges…
