Forging the Pact STILL BUGGED

Bumping this as I stand, 3 years later, in front of the crates and teleport field blocking the cave. I’ve verified from walkthroughs that I’m at the correct entrance.

I think the problem is that Agent Zrii is AWOL. If I understand correctly, he disappears at some point? So he either never reappeared, or just never appeared at all. Or maybe he died?

Regardless, it’s at least strange that bug fixes are released often, but bugs for content that nearly all players will encounter go untouched for literally years.

Shame. Shame. Shame. :p

Greatsword Opinion

If you’re on the fence between a 2500g+ sword and a 500g sword, the choice seems obvious. Go with Foefire’s.

Be unique. As you said, legendary greatswords are so common, they seem more run of the mill than legendary.

IMO people take notice of skins like Foefire’s much more because you don’t see them every 10 seconds, and it makes you wonder what it is/where it comes from, etc…

PvE: Druid Tank

The trait that converts 14% of healing to power is OP.

Also, in response to the “kill faster > mitigate damage”, you can’t kill anything if you’re dead.

Sometimes the best solution is to go glass cannon to burn ASAP. A lot of times, I’ve found building (basically) full clerics, allows you and your pet to face tank with little to no danger, while also allowing allies not to have to worry at all about anything but DPS.

Seriously though, full support damage is kind of broken considering you’re virtually invincible in PvE. WHaO, that halling → power trait is crazy strong.

Dailies no longer geared towards casuals?

I just started PvPing recently, and find it pretty ridiculous that you can get all 3 dailies in 1 match, whereas racing around to catch events alone can take an hour.

The PvP dailies require no attention or deviation from normal play. Equivalent PvE dailies would be “kill 30 mobs”, “harvest 5 anything in any zone”, “participate in 1 event in any zone”.

Can we please discuss Sprits?

Nature spirit.

Strength of the pack heals better, and gives you 3 stacks of stability instantly.

Guys, don’t worry about stability, I got it covered with nature spirit. Said no one ever.

The aoe auto res is strong, but why pick an elite to res over one that can prevent deaths? Also, search and rescue exists.

It’s not useless, but would be rare pick as a utility. As is, it just gives ranger -1 elite skill.

SB is my favorite weapon!

LB is one of my least favorite weapons. Stand there and occasionally press 2 and 5. Yay.

With SB A/T, you’re always on the move, and managing enough CDs, skills, abilities, to keep you busy, but not frantic.

Meanwhile, it’s pretty clear most people have no idea just how strong SB is. They see small numbers in the AAs and ability damage and write it off. A lot of small numbers, like a lot-a lot, add up very very quickly. You don’t need raid buffs, or 30s ramp up to get numbers which I don’t see how LB even begins to compete with. You can easily get 10k damage per second in conditions alone rolling before LB’s 2nd Rapid Fire. If you blow all your CDs, 15k. Those are genuinely conservative numbers. Note – these are just the big numbers you can see briefly while kitten ing around, not sustainable DPS (the burst is real though).

Positioning isn’t as big a deal as people think. You just dodge or strafe a bit if you have to. Or not. As I’m sure LB users sometimes find themselves at <1200ft, sometimes you can’t flank. Damage takes a hit, but circumstances are never always-perfect.

Anyway, I <3 SB, and although I’d love for the poor popular opinion of it to change, it’s still fun to be the oddball.

Into the Labyrinth: Progress blocking bug

Bumping this as I’ve just encountered the same bug.

I rescued them in this order:
Marjory
Rox
Braham
Kasmeer

I love confusing jungle maps. Love em. And tendrils. Can’t get enough.

Seriously though with the tendrils. Can I go 30 seconds without those little red AOEs popping up? Please?
