mase topkek

Basilisk venom has 2 stacks so it can stun you twice.

Seems legit. I support this.

and now we have the Mender’s Purity + Mantra of Resolve bug.

Didn’t notice nothing, explain yourself! :o

Counterweight.7192:

Menders purity(?) is currently throwing mantra of resolve in to full cd if you use a stack of power return. This is gamebreaking for many of my builds.

It breaks while in combat. Menders activates resolve even if it is not charged = full cd. You can actually keep mantra of resolve in cd for a minute np due to this bug. ANET this needs fixing.

2nd activation of mantra heal doesn’t activate menders purity.
Illusionary inspiration also causes the game to ignore skill inputs while the inspiration is being cast (after summoning a phantasm). Needs fixing asap.

Signed. Jewels need to be reintroduced. removed cause they were too confusing for players 2 years in or something _

Make it so.

Nice to see someone else using rune of water. Keep on trucking!

Magic toker should be banned am i rite?

The Hero Warrior Il.7681:

I just wanna say I love you anet atm for putting death match in and I hope you guys will still have it left after december aswell <3

Seconded! Just need a queue for tdm 2v2/3v3 and were golden <3

Zaxares.5419:

Contents are not worth the price, so I skipped this one.

Imho the price is not the issue. The issue is still that you can buy more power(with irl currency) in a game mode that is pvp focused.

ironzerg.3196:

They shouldn’t be working in PvP. If they are, you should report it. Arenanet has been pretty clear that any “boost” stuff you can buy in the cash shop should not affect PvP.

Anet has been pretty clear they should not work in Structured PvP.
Also, a single, or say a few players getting +5% HP/Damage or +66HP regen per sec will in most cases not tip the scale of balance. Largely because these boosters are open for use by all professions, regardless of level, build or time played. Boosters are cheap to get and you usually get lots of them, so arguing that they are reserved for only rich kids is a bad argument.

The rejuvenation booster is 100hp/s (so a 500hp/sec healsig or any regen passive is fine?. Please share your method of getting str/defence/rejuvenation boosters cheap/easy so casual players like me that have put thousands of hours in to pvp/wvw aspects of this game can enjoy your gargantuan wisdom.

Point remains. If you got a lot of money you can get +5% attack/defence in a game mode that is focused on hunting down conscious entities and not preprogrammed ai.
Someone please refute me.

Ropechef.6192:

Except it is not pay to win.

I have a bank tab full of Boosters. and I got them all from just doing dailies, monthlies, map completion, Etc.

I have not spent any real money on them.

You spending no money on them does not void the points made by other people in this thread. Please read the thread fully.
Blchests/dailies have a chance to drop them and farming blkeys by creating a new toon and doing the questline till you get a key is not a viable way to get them..

I’ve played wvw for as long as the gamemode has existed and ive only seen a handful of these boosters around but i do see abuse potential/balance issues. Imagine a bursty toon with rejuvenation, def & str booster.. 100 health per second is nothing minor coupled with dmg reduction imho (also massive stacking with healing signet,shadow’s Rejuvenation,backback regenerator etc)

Has there been any dev response on the issue?

Maximum thread necro.
Regen/all booster’s work in wvw last time i tested(aeons ago so someone please confirm this).
This topic might get relevant now that you can literally buy a PERMANENT +5% dmg and +5% def if youre RICH enough.
Isn’t this against the design philosophy of guild wars 2 or am i mistaken?

I’m pretty sure it’s not permanent.

Based on the description they’re the same boosters that have been available from Black Lion Chests and other places (dailies/monthlies for example) for ages now. Each booster only lasts 1 hour, so you’d need to spend a lot to keep it up permanently.

It’s not ideal for a game that’s supposed to be avoiding pay-to-win but it’s hard to imagine a situation where a 5% bonus for 1 hour would make a significant difference.

I do realize you’d need to spend a load of dough to keep them up permanently but the point remains. If you dish out the dollars youre gonna get a edge in wvw.

Brutal Augus.5917:

The armor booster, strength booster, speed booster, regeneration booster AND swim speed booster all work in WvW currently. Some of them have even been included into the “WvW support pack” on the gem store(Huge Ripoff btw). The description of these boosters say that they do not work in PvP, however some of you have the misconception that WvW is PvP. PvP =/= (that is a “Does Not Equal”sign, for those that do not habla) WvW although WvW can be considered to be open map PvP of a sort.
Yes. boosters need to be disabled in WvW. We already have food/sharpening stones/tuning crystals/maintenance oils/applied fortitude/applied strength. Do we really need boosters too?

With so much imbalance does it really make a difference?

I find the notion of money = more power a bit disturbing in a game that has big focus on pvp. After all most of the gem stuff are supposed to bypass timegating, add convenience and unlock cosmetic stuff.

Basch.1347:

The actual item description clearly states %dmg “against monsters”. The defense is universal though, and can be useful to get a little more sustain in larger WvW fights.

Clearly where if you don’t mind me asking?

“Double-click to consume to gain a buff that increases your damage by 5% for one hour.”
source: Guild Wars 2 Wiki & ingame description is identical as i have one of them in my bank. I think ive actually recieved ~3 str boosters since beta.

Malediktus.9250:

The boosts do not work against players I believe. Only against NPCs last time I checked

What are you basing this information on? Quick wiki browsing / experience since beta yielded no facts that would conform to your statement.

Speed booster works in wvw and iirc so does str and def. Someone please correct me if i am wrong(i’d love to be wrong on this one).

What’s up with armor and strength booster with cash? Since when have we been able to get +% dmg boosts with gems? Disregarding rng blchests ofc.

You can actually buy them flat out with gems via the booster tab on the gem store. Been that way for quite a while actually.

There appears to be no indication of str or defence boosters there. So when did it become fine to be able to flat out buy +5% more dmg and def?

The problem is your gpu, it cannot handle full hd resolution with that many players on the screen. Also overclocking the cpu might help your minimum fps.
