Deadeye the new "PS"?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Grok Krog.9581

Grok Krog.9581

Banners and PS simply need nerfing. They’re way too good a boost for how little investment they require.

I don’t know if Banners need a nerf, the lack of mobility in them is kind of their downfall (Remember they used to give 90 to each stat and were kind of weak). If anything maybe lower them to 135/150. But I do agree Phalanx Strength needs a nerf. I’m not sure how, maybe a cap of 10 might, at least condi warrior’s damage is high enough they would still be brought along, the banners alone are useful enough. Power Warrior just needs some buffs

Only thing spell breaker has a chance of being in PvE is a Power PS but it’s damage is too low. All the traits and everything look promising but with the heavy nerf to Berserker’s Power and overall low damage there’s no reason to take it

Thanks, I’m not gonna demand a good group comp though. I actually did fractals last night and I did alot better. The team was much better skilled than the ones I had before when I was trying out my Warrior. Still need some more practice but I just gotta get used to it again. I did learn not to worry too much about perfect rotation on trash, that’s more for bosses

Shattered Observatory Feedback

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Grok Krog.9581

Grok Krog.9581

My only complaint with it (so far, I’ve only fought the first boss didn’t have time to finish) is when I dodged the expanding circle under me, a larger pulse it looks like applied 5 burning stacks that do incredibly high damage (on Daredevil) and with Shadow Step and Signet of Agility I couldn’t remove it every time, I understand other players could have condition removal but it seemed odd that I’d get burned like that during a dodge

Never buy keys. Just get an extra slot, either spend a week casually leveling them to 10, or once a week use the Tomes of Knowledge from your dailies (8 total) to hit level 10 and get a key in about 20 minutes.

For me, Tybalt had the most feels and most likeable character. Amusing, but his backstory was pretty serious. And his final quote before holding off the undead was the best.

I’ve been soloing my fractal adept daily. When I do the aquatic fractal, if I get eaten by the boss he resets. I know this has to do with how Anet had changed the mechanics for him and Mossman to reset while being out of combat, but this seems like an oversight, since I’m still in combat while being digested

Anet said no new weapons would be introduced, but that doesn’t mean Spear can’t be brought to land. Though I doubt they’ll put the coding in for that.

I say it’s most likely a Pistol or Dagger off-hand. Hopefully they provide great damage and/or utility

Free speech isn’t quite what most people think it is. It doesn’t mean you can go anywhere and say whatever you want. It means that you can speak out in protest against the government without fear of reprecussions.

Anet is a company and Guild Wars 2 is their property. They have the right to not allow whatever they want inside that game, because it is their business. They could say “You are not allowed to play if your hair color is brown” if they wanted to

It shouldn’t offend you that people believe in God or another god. If they want to talk about it, they can. On the flipside, they shouldn’t be offended that you don’t believe in anything.

Tolerance is a two way street, and usually the ones calling for tolerance are being intolerant themselves. Does it effect you in anyway that they’re talking about something that you disagree with? No it doesn’t, get over it and quit caring and let everyone get on with their lives

As for open world, you don’t really need to run both banners. I usually run For Great Justice/Signet of Fury/Banner of Discipline.

As to what Silv said, Warrior is no where near the best DPS in PvE. Easily outclassed by classes like Ele and Thief, but they’re great at buffing the group

I believe off-hand pistol will be the most likely thing, since Rytlock have one.

I’m kind of hoping for off-hand dagger, that can apply a lot of Vuln/give an Evade and a skill that does a ton of damage to a target under 50%

Getting tired around 30. New class?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Grok Krog.9581

Grok Krog.9581

With the NPE, and how leveling and stuff is changed. I can see it getting stale around the mid 30s. You get trait points a lot slower, and they’re harder to unlock. What weapons/skills are you using? Those could effect, Engineer is pretty fun kit dancing with grenades/flamethrower/elixir gun. Guardian I don’t have much experience with.

Elementalist is a lot of fun, though if you run stuff it’s rotation isn’t the most exciting, but you can do sooooo much damage

Warrior specialization MUST be this!

in Warrior

Posted by: Grok Krog.9581

Grok Krog.9581

My best guesses are off-hand weapons,

1: Being a pistol. Rytlock used this. Could have a multi shot attack that applies some condition (maybe vuln or bleed) and a hard hitting pistol bash attack

2: A Torch. Feels commandery, Fire Field, lots of burning and a blast finisher

3: Off-hand Dagger with powerful attacks on foes that are under 50%

Heart of Thorns Wish List:

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Grok Krog.9581

Grok Krog.9581

1: New class. Anet said it would be a soldier class. They could add a Dervish style class (not an actual Dervish) where they focus on enchantments and ripping enchantments (not to be confused with boons) also adding Scythe’s and Greataxe’s to the game.

Could also be a Ritualist in a sense. Profession skill could be 3-4 binding rituals. They could have weapon spells for some utility skills, that apply to 5 nearby allies (For example, Splinter Weapon: You and nearby allies do X damage to foes when cleaving. 10 seconds, cool down 30 seconds)

2: If this is an expansion I’m assuming the Maguuma Jungle would be fully expanded upon or mostly, for new maps and stuff

3: New race. Tengu is the only logical and realistic choice.

4: Lots of new skills/traits/weapons added to each class

"Elite" Ele skills.

in Elementalist

Posted by: Grok Krog.9581

Grok Krog.9581

My opinion on all 3 elite skills.

Glyph of Elementals:

Fire: Needs to do more damage, it’s kind of lackluster for how low it’s health is. I suggest to make it more like the Fire Elemental Powder

Water: This one seems fine, powerful heal but it takes way too long to cast.

Air: Good for when you need it to stay back for damage to live longer. Though I’m not familiar with its functionality due to not using it much

Earth: Good position. Very tanky as it should be

Tornado: Should pulse damage every second. The skill effects need to change. With Skill 1 selected: Hit twice each pulse and apply 1 stack of vuln. Skill 2 Blind for 3 seconds every other pulse. Skills 3: Knockdown every 3rd pulse.

Knock back happens every other pulse. Increased damage overall

Fiery Greatsword: Auto-attack is now melee, and cleaves. Has a melee chain, applying 1 second of burning on the final hit. Damage equivalent to lightning hammer. Fiery hits a little harder than Warrior’s Rush and applies cripple.
