Wonder why these are laurel only. I think it would be nice to be able to purchase these with proofs of heroics or badges of honor since they are earned in wvw it makes sense a wvw currency could buy them.
I checked the duration of my boons w/o the trait and then with the trait and its not working at all. It’s not showing in the equipment panel as a boon duration increase and its not increasing the duration of boons.
While running in wvw I was messing with the traits and noticed the trait Honorable Staff don’t actually apply the 20%boon duration that its suppose too.
I think it would be amazing if crafting was account wide instead of charcater based is this possible? keeping track of recipes across multiple character is annoying. Not sure if it is possible or if anyone feels the same way? whats everyone else think?
With all the changes to reviving I think they should maybe take a look at the druids self rez. Even if you interrupt the pet the pet continues with the rez faster then you can stomp. I feel like if you interrupt the pet in the rez it should go back on cooldown.
Does anyone else see invisible maw traps i cant see the animation for it but i run into a wall and it knocks me on my kitten . not to mention does anyone think these should be removed when the dh dies?
Fair enough seems it is poorly worded, while using a exotic harpoon I get credit twards speargun weapon master lol. A little better clarification in the achievements would be nice for future reference. Thanks for the help bambu.
I farmed with my war using a harpoon for quite some time before I realized that none of my kills were counting twards my weapon master achievement. Video proof shows this wondering if there is a fix or a way for me to get credit for this so my time twards this wasn’t wasted.
I have no problems fighting it maybe ill give you my notes so you can learn how to deal with it. I also used to main ele so I understand how its played witch makes it easier for me to fight it. Maybe you should try harder if you think its a gimmie win your sadly mistaken. Half the people I c cry about it dont know what it even is they ask in team chat why they cant apply a condition…. Scream hacks but put in some time learn it and it will get easier for you its not as overpowered as you think it is strong but I personally don’t see anything wrong with it. I don’t personally run it cause I prefer fire over earth. Just because its a gimmie win vs you don’t mean its always a gimmie win. Instead of looking for handouts and nerfs try harder. Gamers these days…
So now your arguing what ifs… perma endure pain… DS isnt perm its only 1500 hp thats it. So if you have some direct damage wait till the hp drops save your condi burst then use it when its effective. Problem solved but now where back at the point I originally made smart players know how to deal with it, and on the power its not a condition or a secondary stat but can be countered by weakness endure pain there are several invuls not to mention you die very easily if you make a mistake.
Sad that changes keep getting made to cater to casual players that dont think about what they are doing and just QQ…. end rant
Your apparently missing my point you notice when I said smart players have no problem dealing with it. It is not a “guaranteed win” If you fail to have direct damage in your build then you have essentially put all your eggs in one basket shame on you. He may win the fight but this is a team based game if you realize the fight will be lost you rotate. Once you know the build you know how to deal with it and if its a counter to your build you +1 the build or rotate around it. Work smarter not harder.
If you focus solely in condi damage then your the one taking the risk but to QQ because said class counters me is ridiculous. DS is very situational. Strong vs a condi build but useless vs a power build. Far from Overpowered. Smart players have no problem dealing with it. Your the one that wants to run the condi flavor of the month if you cant do 1500 damage and save your condi burst till after. Then maybe you should reconsider your strat.
I think it would be nice to add someone of these event rewards or currency to a pvp track so pvp players have a chance to get some of these skins as well. Some of us who only do pvp and rock white gear just for the skins/looks dont really have the means to participate in some of these world events.
Maybe a track with a one time completion with a armor skin or mini at the end and some currency as the track plays out?
I was thinking that a free server transfer and maybe a wvw reset or new season would be nice with the the new xpac dropping. Theres going to be a new map and a influx of new players would be nice to be able to allow everything to reset. Not to mention new classes and builds, and the current state of t2. Curious what everyone else would think about that?
Anyone else have this happen just randomly kicked couldnt log into the forums or the game. Just generated some kinda of error anyone know why this happened?
So glad I didn’t pre-order Hot!!! By default I am against pre-ordering games as you give them money they didn’t yet earn. I think it negatively impacts gaming in general. If a company makes enough money and records a profit before they even finish the game do you think they really try that hard to do as well as they could. I doubt it I imagine they cut corners and finish sloppy to save on the bottom line.
I for one will not be purchasing anything from anet until I see how they end up balancing after HoT drops.
On a side note… My friends list after the patch dropped was full of players that have since been on a hiatus from the game 50+ ppl all hoping for good changes to the game. That lasted about 24 hours.
Today when I get on the few ppl that are still on are mostly there to complain about condi damage and do pve. Pvp and wvw is all but dead for 90% of my friends list witch consists of all pvp/wvw players, considering I do as little pve as i can and still have ascended gear. This just shows how dissatisfied the player base is with the current changes.
I’m hopeful but I’m guilty of this as well. I log in see no balance has been made yet and I log out. The longer this goes on the more players will loose interest, and the pve in this game isnt enough to hold my attention.
@darknicrofia how do you feel about vulnerbility effecting condi damage now do you think it contributes much to the amount of condi damage ppl are taking? Some classes can stack a lot of it engis dropping 10-15 stacks of it can be done in 2 skills. thats 10-15% more damage taken.
condi builds require condi damage as a offensive stat to put out damage with dire gear. Thats one offensive stat and your thinking that they should equal the same dps output as a power build that has 3 offensive stats and no defensive stats?
Dire gear is to Sinister as Soldiers is to Berserker.
come on man use your head.
Lmao no.
Only condi builds that need precision is Mesmer and Engineer. Necro, Warrior, and Thief go Dire and if you ever fought one of these three classes you’ll know how broken Dire is. These guys can 1vx easily. All you need for Condition Damage builds is Condition Damage. Power needs power precision and ferocity to be effective. Someone in full Dires can annihilate you as fast if not faster that a zerker can. Condition Damage needs a new stat to spread out it’s damage, like Power builds need ferocity.
You are referring to pvp (or wvw) builds, which is an entirely different ballgame.
A pvp build is only as good as its condi clears if it isn’t just a glass canon spec, and if you can stack even the smallest amount of condi you can wipe out anyone without enough condi removal. (or even bait the condi removal then stack and easily win)
This is why condition damage has been the meta in pvp for so long.
You are comparing apples to oranges by comparing pvp to pve.
DoT in pve is not the same discussion as what kills baddies in pvp.
No one is talking about pve here what you said has nothing to do with his post troll somewhere else.
troll?
Oh I’m, sorry…
You guys ARE talking about WvW
:O
Even so…. I feel that the culprit is more the toughness in WvW builds moreso than the condition dmg. Condition dmg ignores toughness….. whereas toughness reduces power’s effectiveness.
If toughness was altered to negate some condi dmg i could see balance… but maybe its Anet’s intent to get people out of pvt gear.
Also…. isn’t resistance going to play a big role after the release of HoT?
Thats a interesting take but i think that would just make dire gear more overpowered then it already is. They would have the same damage potential and be tankier then they were before. Resistance could help real in condis but that depends on how relevant it is.
This is mostly a bitter opinion. Eventually it’ll be balanced where you’ll see bosses will shed condition durations or even apply resistance to themselves, which if you forgot, cancels out condition effects. So hey, at least Aegis just blocks 1 attack
I have no issues with conditions being buffed pve. I get some ppl want to just play alone just for the story mode or whatever, and for pve they should play what they find more enjoyable and it should be just as good regardless of what they choose to play.
Condition damage shouldnt be able to compete with power when it comes to damage output. It’s ridiculous to think that it should be equal to power if that were the case then no one thats number crunching would run power

/s
One more players who got ascended berserker gear and is afraid to grind another set with different stats. Sorry, buddy, but conditions are the new meta right now.
I actually run ascended dire gear and the current setup plays right into my original play style. That being said I run it because its overpowered and if you want to compete your forced to play whats strong, but from a fan of the game I think it should be better balanced for the overall longevity of the game. I honestly dont know how to fix it but I think kamikaze could be on to something. Adding another stat that you would need to make condis effective much like they did when they added ferocity to precision.

What does that have to do with what I said at all? You just like hearing yourself talk?
And soldiers is not even close to a power version of dire. The way condis are dishing out damage. Soldiers use power and power by itself isnt as strong as condis are thats what im saying power requires some precision and ferocity.
I run a full ascended morbachs light set and ive ran it on all 3 light classes its overpowered end of story they know it thats why its not in pvp. The longer a fight lasts against a condi build the more likely they are to win the fight. Dire gives you everything you need without having to sacrifice any damage its broke.

It’s ridiculous to think that it should be equal to power if that were the case then no one thats number crunching would run power. Too make condi successful all you need is condition damage. Power on the other hand requires so much more to be strong. You need power, you need precision and you need ferocity. If condis do as much damage as power in pvp with more survivability then why would power ever even be a thing? Don’t get me started on wvw dire gear is not well balanced at all. If its not in pvp because its overpowered then it shouldn’t be in wvw for the same reason. Thats like giving zerker builds toughness and vitality along with there damage. Dire gear gives condi builds everything they need to be effective in 3 stats without having to sacrifice any survivability.
