Guild Wars 2

Lately, I have gotten stuck in the wall several times when using this (Unrelenting Assult sword skill 3 Rev.) skill. It seems to be a problem as of late. Anyone else experiencing this?

If she was a super duper ranger then she would have never used a short bow
(As you stated she is a woman so she actually couldn’t have a bow long or short.) Let’s be honest here, this has nothing to do with the lore, it has everything to do with making one of the worst weapons in the game relevant. So far it’s a fail. “-Kalla was a slave woman who trained other slave women to fight with what they had on hand. It is specifically stated in lore that women at the time weren’t allowed to have weapons for war. Which means no pistols on hand.” This should probably be crude spears, hammers, clubs and rocks as they probably wouldnt have crafted a bow and arrow set(this would be considered a weapon of war). I guess we should have gotten a spear and become paragons(does fit the expansion) instead of broken ritualist.

This message board has put more thought into this build than the team who created it did. I mean Char are more mechanical…so pistol over a bow…the list of why just goes on and on.

Did pistols even exist in Kalla’s time? It was roughly 200 years ago—a few decades after events in Eye of the North. In GW1, pistols didn’t exist. Kalla’s grandfather and great grandfather used bows. The ranged charr enemies you face all use bows. The charr technology boom didn’t happen until AFTER Kalla’s rebellion ousted the Flame Legion.

Even if pistols DID exist during Kalla’s time…

-It would be new technology, invented by the Iron Legion.

-The Iron Legion was subservient to the Flame Legion. The Flame Legion would probably turn their noses up at new pistols in favor of good old fire magic projectiles.

-Kalla was a Blood Legion warrior, from a bloodline of rangers. That means melee weapons and bows, plus a cultural disdain of Iron Legion/Ash Legion methods.

-Kalla was a slave woman who trained other slave women to fight with what they had on hand. It is specifically stated in lore that women at the time weren’t allowed to have weapons for war. Which means no pistols on hand.

Modern charr are so “mechanical” because the charr territories we have access to are Iron-Legion owned, and Iron is the technology-oriented Legion.

So, no. A pistol would be VERY out of place as the weapon for the Kalla legend.

…..As to the original post, I agree with some of the other replies. “Fervor” is not a religious word. It means to have great passion for something. That can be a passion for God, or a passion for freeing slaves, or a passion for… I don’t know… cookie dough ice cream. Personally, I’m pretty fervent about that last one.
Just because the OP has probably heard “Fervor” used in a religious context, more than in other contexts… that doesn’t mean the word is tied to religious meaning.

As for Orders From Above, consider this. Kalla earned equal rights for her women rebels in Blood, Iron, and Ash Legion BEFORE the final battle against Flame. Those women would have been integrated into the charr armies as soldiers. Like any other soldiers, they would have taken orders from superior officers. Once they gained equality, Kalla and her rebels would have been given “Orders from Above” by the charr leading the armies.

Personally, I think Kalla’s skill names are fitting.

Rev style gliding…hammer time!

It would be awesome if they would have chosen pistol over shortbow. If for nothing else it seems more chat like.

Whatever ones you had up when you mounted should be up when you dismount right?

Would make sense, but was not that way, at least during last weekend.

No it wasn’t so I just stopped using the mount. Sad because they will never fix that problem.

My post was removed for telling the truth LOL. Okay so I’ll be more specific/constructive about why the spec is very bad. The shortbow is far far far too clunky with wayyyy too long casts times and awkward mechanics PLUS bad damage. The legend is very very bad because it has summons which don’t really do a whole lot if they don’t get instakilled, along with having insane energy costs, and the heal has to be the worst heal in the game. None of the shortbow or legend skills do good damage even when specced into pure damage with vipers, scavangers and devastation/corruption/renegade. The new f skills are bad, the only one that would be worth using is the f3 but it costs 40 energy? lol. I mean 4 seconds of alacrity for the f4? Not even worth the cast time or energy cost. Oh and NO swiftness in this build whatsoever? Are you joking lol? The whole thing needs RE-DOING, not tweaking because it has fundamental problems that can’t be fixed by changing numbers. Traits are super weak too. Just overall I’d rather play core revenant than this spec.

Totally agree. Especially the no swiftness it’s like moving in slow motion.

Whatever ones you had up when you mounted should be up when you dismount right?

I don’t want to play ranger. Why did they make this ranger light. No pet no way to get away from attacker. Ranged is only good for the first shot maybe second then they are on you. With no heal it’s Insta death. Poorly planned.

On top of all that if I wanted to play a ranger I would have made a ranger my main character. The mounts were not thought out for Herald either. When you dismount your are not even ready to fight because all your buff are off.
