Balance Changes That Would Improve Raids

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: EsarioOne.9840

EsarioOne.9840

Just thought I’d chime in here since you brought up power rev. I run power rev in 7 of the 13 raid encounters right now, and it does just fine. While benchmark dps shows rev can be lacking, that’s not the case in actual raid content. Rev rotation is simple enough that ideal dps can be achieved with little effort, whereas better benchmark dps classes drop off because their rotation is more complicated. I’m not just blowing smoke here, I’m frequently able to out dps Temps and condi Rangers by a significant margin as per arcdps. At the same time rev is also bringing might, fury, protection, and assassin’s promise to its subgroup at 100% uptime. I don’t think boon uptiming is clunky as mentioned in the OP, just pulse until you’re energy is out, swap, swap back as soon as you can/are out of Janis hammer dps energy. Something else to note, rev has some of the strongest cc in game, looking at you staff 5. It makes for clean cc phases.

In my opinion, rev is a viable dps thats much more of a team player than other meta dps classes.

Celestial rev is lightweight godmode. I find the damage to be just fine in full cele, though personally I swap in zerker trinks and weps since I feel I still have invulnerability level survival.

I dunno how important staff is for you, but I’ve done extensive testing with these new raid DPS golems and found mace has the highest mainhand dps in celestial if you take advantage of the ferocity through Roiling Mists (combination of condi+crits make for a ton of additive damage). It sounds loose at first, I thought mace would be unusable, but numbers don’t lie. So mace/axe and sword /shield could be a consideration if you aren’t leaning heavily on staff.

Soul Spiral and GM Trait Transfusion?

in Necromancer

Posted by: EsarioOne.9840

EsarioOne.9840

Hey everyone,

So I was just doing some testing with Reaper Shroud and Blood Magic and had a question. Is Transfusion (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Transfusion) supposed to proc off of Soul Spiral (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Soul_Spiral)? It would seem it should, since Soul Spiral says it inherits traits from Life Transfer, but in practice I haven’t been able to have Transfusion trigger. Thanks guys.

Unsustainable Amalgamated gemstone use

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: EsarioOne.9840

EsarioOne.9840

You know that all the sub gems cost under 2 silver on the TP right? How’s that RNG?

Because that’s not how economics work. I’m not agreeing or disagreeing with the OPs stance here, but the line of logic you’re following is wrong. That supply of 2s sub gemstones is entirely produced through rng, it isn’t infinite and it isn’t static. If the sink is indeed too great for the faucets, that supply would dry up eventually, thus there would be a problem here.

24/7 Disconnects and High Ping

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: EsarioOne.9840

EsarioOne.9840

So I’ve been playing GW on the same machine and same ISP since head start and haven’t had any issues really. Just these past two weeks though, I’ve started to notice alot of latency regarding ingame actions. It’s now scaled up into multiple disconnects per hour or even failure to log-in at all. I’ve went through a lot of actions w/ my ISP to try to resolve this, but the more networks I test GW with I’m starting to think it’s not a client-side issue. I’m more or less just looking for some answers right now; I just want to get back to gaming. Are the NA servers experiencing issues right now? Is there something I can do to possibly resolve this?
Thanks.

This expansion was more of a patch I’m beginning to think…

HoT = Burnout

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: EsarioOne.9840

EsarioOne.9840

I’m seeing alot of discussion about how mastery relates to burn out, that’s not the case.
Mastery = Millions of experience
Millions of experience = time buffer so people don’t realize the mastery system is non-beneficial and shallow character progression.
At its core, mastery is just something to keep consumers occupied. You aren’t doing anything original or unique. It’d be a different story if the player actually learned the itzel language (etc.) by doing related activities.

So of course you’re burnt out, anyone with a pulse should be burnt out. The content presented in HoT is nothing more than four maps and a new system that displays a yellow bar that fills up slowly. Bottom line, it’s a glorified feature pack. Unless you find that watching bars fill up excites you, it’s normal to be burnt out.

Tips for not sucking as a PVE Reve?

Condition removal in pve?

in Revenant

Posted by: EsarioOne.9840

EsarioOne.9840

So far the only thing I’ve found that is able to handle condition pressure well is Mallyx. I wouldn’t recommend running Mallyx all the time (shiro/Glint are much better), but Mallyx is able to help out when dealing with condi overload. Other options are the soft-fix of Cleansing Channel (invocation, first major trait), and also sigils and runes. Sigils being of Cleansing and of Purity, runes being Rune of Hoelbrak/ of Lyssa. Also, some consumable foods bring down the duration of condis pretty well.

EsarioOne.9840

as I stated previously in this thread, I can’t ignore it if it has AP. I need all I can get and can’t afford to skip it in this regard. so if it’s going to have associated achievments then I have to do them. once pvp/wvw/dungeon/storyline/jump puzzles/fashion collections/other misc collections are done the AP scene gets scarce, and I still need 16k to get my full hellfire set which is something I’ve been working toward for years now. so yes I could “just ignore it” IF it was a minigame and had few or preferably No achievements associated with it. but this is not the case and so in my modern mmo I will be forced to play an 8 bit junkpile. hopefully this clears this up.

Since I’m already getting infracted, I’ll double post. This is a personal choice, and therefore a personal problem. You have full control if you do or do not play SAB.

Sorry to hear that you don’t enjoy Sab. I’m also sorry that you think the developers world revolves around you. You’re entitled to your own opinion, but there is a world past the screen of your monitor. Lots of people in that world have been asking for Sab for a long long time.

Also, making kitten posts based on rumor is bad practice.

Shield useless...

in Revenant

Posted by: EsarioOne.9840

EsarioOne.9840

I mean, it’s not as good as the sword (what is ), but it has its place. It does what a shield is supposed to do, block stuff to keep you on your feet. If you get some free heals and Prot out of it along the way, that’s icing on the cake.

if UA get nerfed, rest of swrd need buff

in Revenant

Posted by: EsarioOne.9840

Yeah, UA is fine. It’s on the same level as what other classes get, and we have to pay 15 (!) energy for it. That isn’t cheap when your using your upkeeps correctly.

Amazing class, great work on Glint anet. Only thing I’d ask for is the upkeep on the heal (6) be it’s own personal buffed regeneration, as normal regeneration isn’t very useful outside of extremely long fights.

"Elite" specialization fraud

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: EsarioOne.9840

EsarioOne.9840

Well, Reaper IS stronger but just because Necromancers sucks.

You don’t like/prefer base Necromancer-it most certainly doesn’t “suck” (or show informed evidence that it’s “bad.”)

that’s because you don’t play necro. People don’t tell you to reroll/switch to an ele to run dungeons/fractals and soon raids.

Think we reach the core of the argument here. Elite specializations “superiority” (as the above definition states) is completely subjective, because strength is completely subjective.

Running without an elite?

Posted by: EsarioOne.9840

EsarioOne.9840

Being that I’ve played 2500+ hours on my ele, I was really looking forward to the elite specialization. After seeing the Tempest though, I can say with certainty that I’ll just be keeping my hundreds of useless hero points. The spec doesn’t bring anything new to the table, unless you’re into cringeworthy shouts and cartoonish animations.
