Scepter going to viability town at snail pace.
Churning earth buff is nice and no nerfs to “balance” the reduced cast time that’s a surprise.
Diamond Skin now is dead.
Lighting rod is fixed praise Lyssa.
Adios earth OL glitch.
Rebound still is a thing and I ask, why?
bonus : RTL should be renamed Ride the Nerfs.
Those guys are the backbone of the Morden army if you take then away everthing fall apart and goes to “shatterer dificult level”
The Stalker is a try hard too but he knowns the Sniper is the real Mvp.
The only thing he is missing is a catch phrase like some other mordrem to annoy the player…
But speaking of try harders you guys should buff the Blademaster a little, she is a joke compared the other two legendarys especially the axe master and why the weakest mordrem general is a female poor form Anet.
Theres sarcasm somewhere in this post.can you find it?
Giving a voice to Mordremoth was a mistake IMO. Zhaitan never spoke to you and that was awesome IMO because it underlined its otherness from regular beings, it seemed beyond our mortal views, as an eternal like him should be.
This so much.
I’m hate to use this overused comparison but the Souls games do this perfectly, let the actions and animations do the talk,when the creature is a imortal being or a force of nature less mean more.
The twirling mustache villain banter is so cringeworthy.
Well condi mesmer is far from OP but its by far the most braindead build in the game,the only build where my drunken friend who never played gw 2 in his life could beat people in pvp with it.
Yes like any other build it’s shines brighter with a good player behind it but the skill floor is Really low.
Or they could make a Thief elite spec who uses a glove?? and spam low damage/cc spells using initiative as resource…
Just kidding, but i honestly hope they focus just on the 9 profession in the future and make more polished elite specs without worrying about balancing a new profession.
Selling cosmetic in the store is the bread and butter of GW 2 remenber that theres no vertical progression here(well almost) so they can’t sell the usual p2w stuff that other mmos do to make profit.
And despite its huge popularity Gw 2 dont make that much money to NCsoft compared to other titles.
For curiosity the NCsoft q1 2015:
Gw 18 mil (got some boost in sales after the xpac announcement)
Aion 16 mil
Blade & Soul 23 mil
Wild star 2,2 mil (yeah…)
Lineage 59 mil (go figures)
And btw they could make more money if this outfit is armor skin. Just sayin’.
Clearly Anet’s actual sales figures disagree.
Also, just pointing out that GW1 had an in-game store as well, and sold costumes that were functionally pretty much identical to outfits.
No, he is right Anet would probably make more cash selling set parts on the gem store rather than full outfits,but they got a no clipping allowed policy that makes then choose the latter option because its Way easier to work around.
Charr can give you the charrzooka the skill N°2 got a really nice knockback something that the thief lack combine this with stealth and you got some really nice tool for wvw trolling and backup CC.
The new wvw map is gonna be full of edges (supposedly) so you can think in the future too.
and yeah the n5 skill got a nice aoe too especially if you are a full zerker.
I miss the old meteornados before the ferocity change…well my ideas.
My dream:You summon a tornado in the target location you control the tornado by channeling and can choose its direction, you can cancel the channel anytime by pressing the elite button again the spell ends when you do so.
reality:Raise the mov speed +40% and projectile absortion.
Oh it needs a chronomancer theme. So it’ll be named The Stick of Time.
Yeah stick of time sounds cool i already can see the skill setup:
1-Any Day Now=Fix one bug each hit.
2-About Time=give all your ilusions offhand weapons.
3-Back to the future=Travel 10 years to the future and now you can use ileap perfectly.
4-Blast from the Past=Go back to Oct 15th 2013.
5-Total recall=Ignore all nerfs in the past 3 years for 20 seconds.
I would agree, but what makes me think more about it is that specializations are horizontal change, not vertical progression (this is confirmed fact)… so IF they would keep the attunement swap and just add “something” to it, how would it be comparable to old attunements balance wise? maybe with longer cooldowns? so old ele would be attunement dancer and specialization would be forced to stay longer in attunements, sounds logical, but I can’t imagine any other option…
Yeah its gonna be a nightmare balance wise for every class, but especially for ele because he is sort of “trapped” in the attunement mecanic, horizontal progression is a tricky business its easy to make an option the “only” option.
About the options of what they can do… its really hard to tell, but I think there room to be creative.
In all honesty … I play a ele since the start and just begin to play a warrior on spvp a few weeks ago and i just can’t imagine myself losing to a ele on spvp with my warrior.
And i love to be prove wrong on that, lets just hope for the next patch to fix some major issues.
I main a norn elementalist and used the snow Leopard trasform a lot in wvw as a escape tool but nowdays the FGS does the job better 99% of the times …
And two little thing about asuras, I used to duo roam with a asura friend, both using D/D eles and oh boy….
they always shot the norn first sometimes even when the asura is clearly the best target, playing with a party of asuras with a norn or charr is like having a bullseye in your butt.
Second its really hard to telegraph asura skills because of the their size so keep that in mind if you want a litlle(ha-ha) edge on pvp.
Bad side…being a goblin abortion and tiny looking weapons.
I’m a planeteer. You can be one too. Because saving our planet is the thing to do! Looting and polluting, is not the way. Hear what Captain Planet, has to SAY!
“THE POWER IS YOURS!!!!”
(holy cow, I just recited that from memory)
By your cash combine…
I am a anet dev!
I’m play a warrior. You can play one too. Because owning any content is the thing to do! Getting downed and repair bills, is not the way. Hear what Anet dev, has to SAY!
I’m dont like or dislike mounts i more on the “meh” side of the argument but…
if i was a dev i probably put some sort of mount in the gem shop to act like the broom/drill maybe with a 25% off combat speed bonus,because we all know they gonna sell like hot cake.
After getting dowed by a small breeze with my ele for only god know how many times,I’m took the dust off my undergeared mesmer alt and tried that PU cond build that is all the rage these days and oh boy …
Roaming is so much “casual” now i can alt+tab to check my mail in the mid of a duel and still win, warriors are jokes now…well they still run away but at least they run with 15% hp and not with my lootbag.
okay that was lame but after testing the trait i can say its just temporary(emphasis on the temporary) shut down “PURE” cond builds and…
theres no problem with that if you build so heavy on cond there should be a price to pay finally some risk for the all reward gameplay that is cond dire builds.
And honestly the trait is mediocre at best people probably gonna to return to the old water/arcana builds after the novelty wears off…
Well every class struggle a little with the Whac-A-Mole-sentry-rush my solution with ele is to slot lighting flash and arcane blast, tail the comander then flash in the middle of the sentrys =>arcane blast and voilà enjoy your Wxp.
Tips:Change your utilitys when the situation demands if you see the enemy zerg nearby slot back your main utilitys,yes this method demands a little micromanagement but you can get solid wxp with this.
Second option…stay ahead the comander and tag the sentrys first.
On zerg battles well…i really recomend staff if Badges is your focus.
-We want to make the elementalist less dependent on the arcane line
“put Elemental Attunement on master tier …then post 6 builds ALL with arcana and only one with fire”
Really…
And i know you guys are trying to make staff viable for eles for some time now, but you dont have to nerf D/D to the ground(more than already is) to achieve this.
Think i put this ideia months ago put here go again…my firewall change:
Flamewall
cast 1/2 sec CD 30 sec
last 5 seconds
damage 80
2 secs of burning to any enemy who passes
Give 2 stacks of migth that last 10 seconds to any ally passes(ICD 10)
After casting the flamewall you could end it prematurely (like temporal curtain) to activate another effect.
Implode
Knockback nearby foes away from the flamewall
radius 500
knockback distance 400
The ideia is too keep the control theme on the focus,but its just food for thougth.
I’m comander Shepard and this is the best unidimensional mmo character on Tyria.
Well overused memes aside this is a solid history for MMO standards yes the pg 12 hurt it a little but its not that bad… if they remove Treharne we can call it “good enough”
