Guys who play female characters are just feminine men in RL (which is fine I guess).

Every single one? How do you know this? Does this mean that all humans that play Charr are feline humans?

No-one knows you’re a cat on the internet!

Maximum health reduced to 1.

Just curious if Rytlock would have had an advantage of decent secondary sense whilst blindfolded.

(Ignoring he had whatever magic sense allowed him not to walk off all the cliffs in HoT.)

Turrets lasting 10 seconds sounds awful.

Rework their overcharge effects, have them automatically re-overcharge after x seconds so that there is benefit to leaving them out and give them better defence.

To echo almost every other post in this thread:

You really need to fix Renegade/Revenant.

I mean you could use your energy on a better combo but you can build up some good bleed stacks as Razorclaw’s buff affects Icerazor.

Shinzan.2908:

a person or thing that causes great trouble or suffering.
synonyms: affliction, bane, curse, plague, menace, evil, misfortune, burden, cross to bear, thorn in one’s flesh/side, bitter pill, trial, nuisance, pest;

Dunno, sounds about right to me. The german language is kind of hard to translate things to because it’s just so literal though… what would you have named them instead?

Pest seems pretty low of the scale of causing great trouble compared to plague.

I would personally go with Wurstzerstörer.

I loved:

• The map not being very vertical like the hard/tedious to navigate HoT maps.
• The mount, lovely animations felt good and fast using it.
• The variety of enemies, hopefully there are even more great designs.

Renegade: I love the arrows and artillery support coming through the portal.
Firebrand: Can’t wait to hurt enemies with a harsh truth.
Holosmith: Cool laser holograms.

PVE for the most part.

I’m looking at creating an elementalist and using a Scepter/Focus.

Is S/F considered power or condi, or is it based on the elements you use?

Basically what should I know about using S/F!

Are most of the complainers those who still play core?

I hope it is a dungeon.

In the PoF map there is an NPC Holosmith and an NPC Mirage and talking to them gives you some background of their respective elite specs.

(The imgur albums are I think originally from reddit but not sure who attribute to.)

I think it looks hot, not cool…

I dunno half the forum has been venting about it so I think it should have dropped the heat by now.

Looks cool & good

Some skills just look so fancy, which are your favourites?

Mine are:
Rev’s axe Temporal rift & Puryfying Essence
DH’s Hunter’s Ward.

I guess I was too general, my main issues with Orr/Story:

- 3 Maps of just the same enemies give orr (:p) take, just risen risen risen.

- So many story steps seem to be filler as you just go to the objective and fights waves of risen while waiting for trahearne to do something.

-Airship cannons and mini dragon creatures, one is enough really.

I find Orr and all the personal story just such a drag, are the LW seasons and HoT better?

Looking forward to revealing harsh truths to my enemies.

Game of Bones.8975:

In order to bring in a new race, programmers have to go through and enter voices for each and every contact that character makes in the entire world.
.

not really, NPC babble is already non race specific.

He means for the Story.

They’d have to record the entire personal story/HoT/LW Seasons with 2 new voices all over again.

Not to mention the resource they’d have to put into designing a new personal story as well as new levelling up zones for these characters.

Not just 2x, remember the other languages.

I guess the reason you can’t bail until after 6 secs is so you that if you go super hard building heat for 4 secs you can’t just escape the overheat mechanic.

Renegade looks ace, nice enough for me to get over how I hate Condi builds to play it.

I just hope against all expectations that this next E spec is not purely condi based.

So apparently we’re getting a condi shortbow. I for one am very disappointed. Revenant has never been about condi. The playstyle is boring, you spam Unyielding Anguish and your mace skills of cooldown. Fun.

Revenant, for me has been all about being in Shiro, with swords, whacking things, dodging around the place. It’s a shame ANet has decided that rev’s future is condi, it seems very odd that a class that is predominantly played power because its playstyle is incredibly fun and unique is being ditched for something boring and mundane.

Am I the only one disappointed?

Yes, you are. Rev needs another ranged weapon and another condi-capable weapon. My only disappointment is that it’s bundled in an elite spec when it should be a core addition to the class, because the core class feels unfinished.

If only the new E spec gave both longbow & shortbow, with lb as condi at range and shortbow as closer power just to switch it up.

I’d just be happy if they fixed the rifle.

Swap out Tengu for Quaggan and I’m all for it.

Checked out?? I posted about 8 hours ago!

Also this is pretty close to my current Pistol & Shield build. Nothing ascended as I haven’t got anything like that:

Also my rough rifle power build:

I hope that the skills and traits of the e spec at least work for both Rev ranged weapons.

Thanks all!

So more info I’ve been trying out Pistol/Shield in PVE but it sounds like to make up for the loss of pistol 4 I’d need lots of kits, which is a shame as Pistol, and shield looks pretty cool.

Shield looks cool and is pretty fun to use… but it’s so underpowered that it’s just not worth the effort… If they would swap Pistol 3 & 4 around then Shield would actually be viable though…

I mean when I used it I did enjoy myself, reflecting enemy projectiles and dazing were super useful.

With condi builds, are you meant to just swap in and out of every kit and use the attacks that add conditions, or would you only use ones like elixir gun?

On the tool tip it shows you which condition is ignored. It is only Blind.

“Hey love, what should I call this catbeast?”
“Sweet Noodle”

Thanks all!

In general which damage build uses kits the least?

This is because in general I’ll take 1 kit at most because I don’t enjoy just swapping between them.

Well maybe seeing as how Hammer is a ranged weapon, Shortbow will be power (and melee) :p.

Tybalt Leftpaw

Ahh the only source I saw said longbow.

I hope it isn’t a condi weapon personally, but seeing as revs current ranged is power the bow will be different.

It seems a common response when asking about dungeons is that they are dead as there haven’t been any new ones since the base game.

Why have they stopped adding new dungeons?

Is there some form of additional current story in group format during HoT?

Asking as I liked that the dungeons give extra story info about DR members as you progress in levels and personal story during GW2.

InsaneQR.7412:

Because we dont have any decent condi ranged weapon i would suggest to change Field of the mists on hammer to be a icefield to have synergy with abyssal chill.

1. ridiculously useless, Hammer is physical damage. End of sentence. Why change it.

2. Revenant gets Shortbow in next expansion, which will be condition damage based. So why change something we have now, if we get what we need anyway?

Though the leak said longbow for revs?

If you like staying at range you could try the ranger using the longbow? You even get a pet that in PVE can tank for you.

Using a power/healing rev build what weapons are “power weapons”?

I’m currently using Staff/Hammer.

Also as Herald seems to be super important I’ll probably have to switch out staff, unless herald is good without using a shield?

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Ashen.2907:

Charr. Yes, one of the big horned kitties would make a great pet.

No, not a good choice.

Charr would make much a better mount.

I’m not sure I want all the races start mounting each other…

Xenon.4537:

I don’t even care that much about the racial skills after 5 years… I just want to see racial tensions in the story. I want the humans and charr to fight. I want Dragon’s Watch to be caught in the middle trying to choose a side. I want to uncover an Asuran conspiracy to manipulate the other races with politics and eugenics. The story is just boring as hell when everyone is always holding hands like carebears. We are supposed to be fighting a war, not singing kumbaya.

The war is not against each other but the larger forces.

I would like a giant (dire?) chicken pet.

A single extra slot for a racial skill could be a good answer, as currently they aren’t game changing so it shouldn’t matter as much.

I’ve recently got a guardian to 80 and am looking at making them a Dragonhunter running with Shield&Mace/Longbow. (I know that these weapons are likely not very good combination but I’m not doing any hardcore raiding or nowt.)

What kind of things should I know about using the spec?

Gambler – Major focus on skills having additional effects if certain conditions are met, also a tree with rng focus.

GW1 mesmer definitely.

What are everyone’s favourite dungeon skins?

Personally I like the Catacombs weapons at first I thought they were really dull as the preview button doesn’t show their night effects but after seeing the shield at night I really love them.

Being weirdly strict regarding genres is terrible.

I personally am happy that instead of an entirely rustic generic fantasy world where everyone lives in medieval times but they have magic.

There is the Charr with their not so dissimilar from rl tech with war machines and industrial style metalwork. Also the Asura that are using magic scientifically to create the various magitech style things.
