Moondancer that is the complete wrong way of doing dungeons. Most of the time if u dont know what your doing ppl will notice and leave, whereas if u ask majority of the time ppl will tell you how things work. I hate pugs that dont say they are inexperienced and screw up some mechanic i assume the whole group knows. (making the dungeon take way longer then if u had asked)
Some people like to save the skins and sell them later. If they were just 1 ticket again the price would drop quite a bit and people will b holding onto those skins longer, so for that reason i understand the price.
-When 80 you have enough hero points for everything so it wont matter as much what you spend it on on a low level. (And you can change traits etc whenever you want)
-The race is not really important its just a personal preference of what you want to look like.
-You could just watch some ranger gameplay on youtube of different things like wvw, pve and pvp content and maybe learn some tricks that way.
Uhm im not in game right now but yeah something messed up with the tokens. It is the wrong value, because the chest piece is cheap if i remember, and its just all off.
If you buy it its how much it says it is, so it will cost you 300 tokens. I noticed this about…2 weeks ago? So its been like it for a little while.
Thats why you use speed/travelers runes, or if not lvl 60 the sigil of speed worked pretty nice for me stacking up nearly 2 min of swiftness by killing a few mobs for a heart or smthing.
sigh.
1.) I belive your talking about pistol pistol and who even runs that in wvw when shortbow is so much better.
2.) It is get away wep, the 5 skill gives aegis yeah, the 2 skill replace you with a clone and puts u further back but its phantasm hits hard if youve put lots of condis on the other player.
3.) Its more of an expression, no its not 100% of the time, but its kitten ear close to it (seeing as ive gone into keeps hiding b4 and remained hidden for nearly 2 min, can invis forever with 2 mesmers.)
4.) Yes i have condi clears and stun breaks, not new to wvw, and yes im beserker but i can still beat ppl in outnumbered fights.
5.) Idk how its enjoyable for 30 min long fights, a 5 min fight is fine, even with zerk you can mitigate dmg with blocks etc as well not every fight is short with zerk gear. Yes i know i have to deal with them cause majority of players run condi so they can be tanky and still do pretty darn dmg beside being tanky.
6.) If its a good mesmer all you need is the torch skill removals and your mantra and your good for condi removal. Yes i know to kill their phantasms/ clones while they are in stealth.
7.) impatience? sigh, sorry not everyone finds it enjoyable to have super super super long fights. Theres a good fight, and then theres one thats just dragging on.
8.) Im not new to wvw roaming. Also if the mesmer is low on health hes just going to mass invis +torch stealth distengage come back run away etc if he gets low.
9.) Not that i feel like they should be better, its just that a dire build should not have near the same dmg with condis as with burst or straight up dmg since as you say you are “glass”. Whats that? there are lots of posts where people are saying that pu mesmers need a bit of a nerf (in WvW!) and im not the only one suggesting it? Well then. What do you know. Look down the forums page and just see.
Just a change like that would be perfect, for pve i love all the stuff mes can do, but mes in wvw just needs a lil adjustment( i guess a small nerf you would call it) and i play all 8 classes not just ranger my ranger was just an example
Also yes zerk mes are everywhere in spvp and PvE like you said (but this is abt wvw) in which case 1/5 mesmers are dmg builds, the rest have resorted to cheese condi builds. (At least in the tiers in which im playing which are on the t6-t8) Because it is easy to disengage if your outnumbered, its easier to win outnumbered fights more so then other classes. The post originally is about changing something about the mesmer. Make the blind traits have an internal Cooldown (not super long just enough), or change the pledge a bit, or change pu a lil bit and thats pretty much it.
AtomsofSystems your just not getting my point. Its not a complaint about zerk should be able to beat all, For instance i have a knights/zerk ranger GS/LB with full condi removal, so against pu condi memsers i remove all their condis, but i cant to enough dmg to them even though i am full dmg. So the fights last foreverrrrrrrrrr until i get bored and just leave. (or a friend of theres comes or a friend of mine shows up) This post is not abt thiefs opness whatsoever.
As for as condi dire being hard hahahahahaha. No. A lot of ppl run that condi build as a troll build, or a 1 v 5 build. For 1 v 1’s its not fun, just a faceroll. See your a tanky dude, full dire, so you have toughness and vitality, but you do more dmg then a glass cannon build,(as you say u kill people in seconds) and yet have all the blinds, defenses, blocks, stealth out. Thiefs that are dmg cannot make a mistake, unlike a dire mesmer.
Well actually yes thiefs do have a lot of stealth, but they have to set it up such as leaping thorugh a blind field, shadow refuge, gotta get close and CnD etc, and their spike is not from lets say 900 and then whatever staff is im not sure. (like a mesmer) Also i did not say that mesmers have perma stealth, as i stated i play mesmer and ive played a lot of (shatter) mesmer and i know how much stealth they have. And as for the guy who mentioned using conditions, no just no. Having a dire or even a rabids set i dont find fun, i like builds that do dmg (such as beserker etc) Idk how people find it fun to be a tanky lil guy and being able to make 100 mistakes and still win just because their dire condi or whatever, its not enjoyable.
-Whenever i see a mesmer i think kittens more dire trash, and when i see a shatter mesmer i am legitimately surprised because non condi mesmers are so rare.
Well i know that there are a lot of posts abt this already but i am tired of pu mesmers. Every noob and his dad is playing them now in wvw especially cause dire pu mesmers are the easiest thing to play and get easy kills. Its not just the perma invis thats so bad, its the blinds, reflects and ability to reset constantly and everything else. When i wvw i feel like i have to run either my thief or my own mesmer just to beat these guys (otherwise i just run away cause they are not worth the hastle for a long boring fight) and its not very fun Somethings gotta be done about it, get rid of the blinds, shorten invis duration idc. In PvE its fine and idk abt PvP, but right now its pretty op in WvW.
-Sorry for bringing up another thread on this its just….blehhhh.
No if you do a 50 you cannot get a reward for the 49 as well and same other way around.
And pretty much. Ive ran soo so so many fractals 50’s and 49 and i usually just get Empyreal Fragments so id say yes you do get the same loot :P but honestly theres not a noticeable loot differnce.
*also the scales where u can get other chests in the same day (assuming ur fractal scale is 50) is
1-10
11-20
21-30
31-40
41-50
so if u wanna do another fractal in the same day a scale 37/38 would be the best to do
I really like this idea and hope they implement it. Seeing all 9 of my characters would b cool and also having my main ones taking the first slots would b cool as well.
Well with the way it is now with radiance and zeal, radiance gives you more access for blinds for the trash mobs, zeal gives you more vulnerability on blinds. With just the symbols heals and aegis and perma protection u can outheal mossman and many other bosses. Mayb 1 guard going into virtues would work better but not all imo.
It was very fun but yeah i think it would get old really fast. And not all of us were even beserker. One of our guys thought it was a joke clerics run, and not everyone had the right runes etc. Also we used this setup on a 49 fractal, and the results were similar.
Also, get guildies to help you out and, and if u plan on getting map completion on more then one character while your idk blue, get on all your characters and go through all the blue spots while you are that color, i did this on lvl 20’s and even a lvl 3 engi.
Hope this helps a bit, just be patient and persistent.
I currently have 6 characters with map completion, and all 8 of my characters have wvw done. It really is not that difficult ( i never wvw). My server is BP, and i dont remember a time when we had 70 ppl in one place, its usually more like 3. Just try to go to wvw during a dead hour or just b patient and you will get it.
It would be unfair to change this requirement seeing kitten many people have had to deal with this their first time getting map completion. Just be patient and check your wvw borderlands often and eventually you get it completed.
Just a interesting and fun team comp with permanent quickness.
