Guild Wars 2

How about a sylvari with hemp fiber hair and have them in the shape of dreadlocks?

You can exclude the leaf or whatever, but I think it sounds awesome.

CureForLiving.5360:

Not sure this belongs in the lore forum.

Then what forum does it belong in?

How about a sylvari with hemp fiber hair and have them in the shape of dreadlocks?

I think that “Rise!” should stay as jagged minions, but have a death nova effect and the first thing the horrors do is place a 2s taunt on whomever was affected.

This is what I suggested on the other thread regarding Arcane Echo.

Name: Echo Signet

Passive: Reduces Attunement Switch Cooldown by X number of seconds (Stacks with Arcane Trait).

Active: Copy the last (non-auto) weapon ability that you used.

CD: 90 (72 with Signet Mastery) seconds

When you activate it, the skill icon switches to the last spell that you used. So if you used Meteor Shower, your elite skill would be replaced by Meteor Shower which is then, “held” in your elite skill slot until used. While holding an ability, you lose the passive effect of the signet, and then using the echo’d spell or switching weapons starts the Cooldown timer.

I don’t see why this needs it’s own thread since you already mentioned it in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/Elite-Ele-skills/page/3

Swimsasa Stoon.8936:

Here is my suggestion for a new elementalist elite:

Arcane Echo from guildwars 1.

For those who don’t know what it is look it up if y’r lazy then read my following inaccurate description:

Arcane Echo makes a copy of the next spell you use so that you can use it again.

It fits with our other arcane spells and we don’t have an elite arcane spell yet so…. Why not?

This. This, yes. This. Right here. Yes. Make it happen.

Yes.

I can imagine it now.

Name: Echo Signet

Passive: Reduces Attunement Switch Cooldown by X number of seconds (Stacks with Arcane Trait).

Active: Copy the last (non-auto) weapon ability that you used.

CD: 90 seconds

When you activate it, the skill icon switches to the last spell that you used. So if you used Meteor Shower, your elite skill would be replaced by Meteor Shower which is then, “held” in your elite skill slot until used. While holding an ability, you lose the passive effect of the signet, and then using the echo’d spell or switching weapons starts the Cooldown timer.

Elementalists don’t have an elite skill with a relatively short cooldown. This would fill that void.

Let’s see.

I started with Sanctum of Rall at first because I knew my guild was going to be there. I didn’t know who Rall was, haven’t met him, but the devotion shown by my guild was amazing. It was an extremely classy move on Arena Net’s part to name this server after one of it’s fans. I fondly remember the Ingame Memorial Service we held for Rodger in Shaemoor Garrison.

Going into GW2 was a little confusing at first. I didn’t know what finishers were or knew that I could combo off of my own attacks. What I did know was that there were many, many helpful people who were more than willing to teach whether they were in the same guild as me or not. The community was just amazingly helpful, and happy.

To give back to the server, I participated in my guild’s community outreach program where we go to all the starter cities and give new players a care package, (Usually 8-10 slot bags, but I’d make low-level crafted weapons for them too) and it was a lot of fun getting to talk to so many players and just knowing that I put a big smile on their faces.

Then for me, quite a few months later, came the real call for sacrifice. My guild was hosting, “The Great Tyrian Adventure”, which was a large community event for our server that featured prize giveaways. We were going to give away Legendary Weapons to people, and to do this, we needed as many materials as possible to give to the people who were going to be responsible for crafting them. Without hesitation, I gave away literally all of my T6 mats, and I mean all of it, as well as about half of my gold just to help fund the event. Later on, I also helped farm charged lodestones because that’s what we were low on.

Then came something horrible to me. My GPU melted, literally. The heatsink broke and the fan melted off. I remember the smell my computer made to this day, and it put me out of commission on Guild Wars 2 for many months due to not being able to afford a new card that was as powerful if not moreso than what melted.

Even after getting a new card, I didn’t start playing GW2 again right away. I was too focused on other games like Team Fortress 2, Rift, Planetside 2, and Warframe. Starting up Guild Wars 2 again just really wasn’t on my mind. A few weeks ago, I decided to start playing again and just like before, I’m having a blast. The megaserver update did separate the identities of servers down to WvW, but the overall Guild Wars 2 community was still a very pleasant and helpful one, but I will always have Sanctum of Rall in my heart. The people we have in WvW are patient, kind, and don’t expect for you to treat WvW as if it was a second job. My experience in SoR has been and still is overwhelming amazing, especially compared to every other MMORPG I’ve played.

X T D.6458:

Have your pride on a dead server.
I will have fun on an active one.

khavefunbye

Criticisms levelled at GSCH is that you guys don’t care about WvW.

We care, but we aren’t going to go in and treat it like a second job.

There’s no desire to actually participate and boost WvW presence in SoR from GSCH.

Thanks to [EVIL] as well as other peeps for joining in on this event. It was a blast.

It leads to conflict with the people and guilds that do care. That’s generally why SoR’s second exodus happened.

You were on our server for two weeks, and know little to nothing about the chain of events that went down in our server. I spoke to a variety of people from a variety of guilds and servers to get their perspective on the events that unfolded before making my post here, to give a summary of what happened without naming any names save for our own.

If you go completely hands off WvW and keep your trains to EoTM, SoR might actually bounce back as your extremely large PvE population gets slowly introduced to WvW via ANet events such as Sneak Attack and tournaments.

“You guys are casual, so exclude yourself from an entire game mode.” is what I’m getting out of this line.

I’ve said it before, but you conveniently ignored it to suit your own argument. GSCH schedules commanders and a handful of us (Between 10-15 people) several times daily, not two times a week. And even if not, this is a video game, we’re here to have fun. To quite a bit of us, WvW is still fun in moderation.

At the end of the day, people like you who wanna ignorantly fling insults and criticisms at our community from the distance of your own home server are not the kind of people I’d actually want to play with, so I’m going to go ahead and ignore all future posts by you.

But heres the thing you guys are a multi gaming community you cannot act like you run or control SoR.

We don’t. This is pretty much the antithesis of what GSCH is. We never sought to control the server. We sought to help unite it though community events, the very well-made Sanctumofrall.com website, and unite us under the banner of Rall. Nowadays, we solely use TS when doing WvW and SoR Community events.

Doing Karma trains in wvw a couple times a week does not count as dedicated wvw leadership for gw2.

conveniently ignoring pieces of the other posts to support your own criticisms and arguments must be a fad here.

And GSCH in all honesty, if your happy with the way SoR is now, your either deluded or so kitten stubborn you cannot ever admit you might be wrong…I say both.

The way SoR is now is one of mending the community, encouraging the people who stayed, and once again doing what we can to unite ourselves. No, we’re not content the way SoR is right now, but we’re taking steps towards a place to where we (as in the majority of SoR) can be happy.

Everything else you said, I honestly can’t comment on, as they are a mix of events I wasn’t there for, and don’t have any info on. Regardless, I hope you’re happy on the new server you’re in.

That was the impression I got from my 2 week stay on SoR on my alt (you guys hadn’t moved yet at the time). I would say that there are people willing to change, but are overshadowed by the people who would rather show up to WvW in uplevel PvE specs and ride the weekly 2 hour karma trains and to hell with those people trying to make WvW fun for themselves by trying to defend and win. In this respect, GSCH has a lot to answer for as the proponents of the weekly karma trains that really warp what WvW is meant to be, in my opinion.

There are some really dedicated WvWers in GSCH. It’s a pity they aren’t given much support to do more and push more people into WvW.

I must say though, that SoR kept me slightly more interested than ET when ET was ranked last, though the problems differed immensely between the 2 servers.

For the past few weeks, I’ve been with quite a few of our WvW events. We take what we can, and if there’s a call to defend a structure such as a keep or SMC, we’ll be there within a manner of how long it takes to get there from the border. We don’t just come in twice a week, we usually go in several times a day to take structures and defend important areas. We have commanders who will stick around for over 3-5 straight hours on their days off of work or before/after their workday. To see you blame us for PLAYING THE GAME is ridiculous.

GSCH is filled with quite a lot of people who have little spare time for gaming, and only a handful even want to play in WvW. At least those who are in WvW positively affect our PPT by papering enemy keeps and towers.

Instead of pointing the blame at one or a few communities, you should instead blame the whole design of WvW, and the fact that there are 4 different game modes, not many wanting to stick to just one or build themselves for just one.

It was more about focusing on server strategy, server class composition, and individual knowledge and ability. In return, I spent most of my time arguing about how many Rangers are acceptable. (Which I still think is 10% or less.)

My impression of SoR, or at least those that didn’t leave in the latest migration, is that it’s full of awesome people… until you suggest that they change something they’re doing to help the server succeed. Then it’s full of angry people.

Trying to convince a mostly casual community to change their builds just for the sake of one specific game mode is once again, like trying to convince a stick of deodorant to belch your dog’s sense of humor. It really doesn’t make sense to try. You need to find the people who are willing to be more serious about WvW and then pitch your changes to them.

When Fog mentioned, “Crawling out of this hole.” I think he means just getting SoR into a place to where it’s happy and can instead have fun in WvW instead of getting stressed out over it to the point to where it feels more like a second job.

ANet is betting on the fact that there aren’t any other games out that compete in this market right now.

You mean other than Planetside 2 and soon Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade?

Rangerdeity.5847:

Fire 4: (Rebuke)throw a fan of fire out in a cone instantly burning all enemies in range and curing one condition on allies

“Rebuke” sounds like a spell for a guardian, and we already have an ability that throws a fan of fire out in a cone-pattern.

Water 5: (Beacon)Plant torch in the ground and grant light field that cleanses 1 condition per ally per second

Fire 5:(smoke screen) smoke field blinds enemies inside the field

Earth 4: (Lights out)dark field blind nearby foes

I am of the opinion that ele’s should stay away from fields that aren’t elemental-based. That means no smoke, poison, dark, confusion, or light fields.

Water 4: (Heavens Wrath)Blast finisher drop pillar of light on target applying vuln to nearby foes

This overlaps on the abilities that water ele’s already have that apply vulnerability. (MH Dagger 1, Staff 2, Scepter 2) and this also sounds like a guardian skill.

Air 4: (warm winds)remove chill and blind from nearby allies apply swiftness

I actually like this one. Add a touch of healing to it though.

Air 5: (Truth)Strike foe with bolt of lighting that branches out to 5 nearest enemies stuns primary dazes the secondary targets

Overpowered. Let it branch out to 2-3 at base. 5 when traited.

Earth 5: (area)Ring of warding similar to rock wall

Uhh. Guardians already have this exact skill name on their Hammer #5. Be more creative.

Otherwise, this is an okay skill, but I wouldn’t have this as the #5 skill as the #5 skill is usually the skill with the highest CD. As a skill with a high CD, this is pretty lackluster.

oscuro.9720:

P.S. You guys need to pick up your borderland awareness, me and my guild mates will paper the keeps and all towers and it will stay that way for an hour or so.

It’s not really a question of awareness. Outside of those events where a guild is out in force, SoR’s population is little to none. We do not have the consistent numbers or commanders, especially to play defense. Most of what we have been doing is pure offense. “If you take 99 points, then we’ll win with 100.”

Virtute.8251:

You want something different from what WvW is.

That’s because what WvW is, isn’t good. At least not for servers in the lower tiers. The fact that you even need to mention funding transfers is very telling of this.

JDjitsu.7895:

Yeah Dietere, we’re enjoying the battles with you guys also. I’ve had some great duels the last week and a half with your server mates. It’s nice not to get ganked when there’s an obvious duel going on when I down someone’s party. But I main a thief, I’m used to ppl trying to gank me You Kaineng guys are like a steamroller though. And with players who act like you, I’d say a classy steamroller.

I’d have to give a good amount of the credit of our bolstering to Gaiscioch(and no I’m not from the guild, I’m in [ecto] not to be confused with [ECTO]mind you). They’ve become a lot more active in WvW as of late, and just in time because we’ve lost a lot of our “active WvW” guilds to a myriad of situations. There’s also been a few more of us logging in more in the AM and tagging up to attract others who might be doing dailies and come follow and learn that WvW is where it’s at. And most everyone is feeling the positive vibes lately and playing better because of it. We’re still seriously out-manned by all we go against, but as a whole, things don’t feel hopeless.

What we’ve been doing is hosting SoR community events, and then after the PvE event is over, we bring it into WvW. Casual players and players from other guilds tend to want to keep hanging with out us after the PvE event, so it makes our numbers high when we get to the BL/EBG.

But it’s an inconsistent thing. To the guilds that are doing what they can with what they have, I salute you.

There was a whole chain of events that went down to crack our WvW community. What usually happens to cause quite a few WvW-centric guilds to leave is the tournament. We didn’t win, so we are, “a bunch of scrubs” so they leave. This year, we suffered losing over 90% of our active WvW guilds.

I don’t have the full-on account of events or remember the guild names. But from what I understand and what I’ve been told from the accounts of several people (not all from GSCH) so please take this account of events with a grain of salt. I wasn’t there.

On this year’s tourney, one guild wanted us to throw a match, and another guild wanted us to just keep pushing and win. Both threatened to leave the server so we were going to lose at least one no matter what. We ended up losing, so what happens? Both leave. These are the same people who told GSCH to stay out of the fight, and we actually honored those wishes but when push came to shove, they blamed us for the loss. I guess because we’re an easy target. There was a LOT of animosity and backroom drama caused by a small number of dissenters, and clashing egos, but since nobody really dealt with these issues more early on, the WvW community crumbled. People either left GW2 entirely or Guild Leads took their guilds elsewhere.

Because we lost so many WvW-Focused communities, other ones started to leave as well when we kept dropping tiers and getting steamrolled down the ranks. We lost our night crew. We lost most of our daycrew. The WvW-Hardcore communities want a chance to win in WvW instead of just losing and losing and losing because of a lack of coverage. So they too, left because they were fairweather.

Then when we got down to the lower tiers, more WvW-Communities simply left because there weren’t any fights at all to find, or they’d log into a BL only to realize that there’s no one there. All that were left were the casual communities such as casual guilds, small tattered guilds who stayed away from WvW, and Day 1 guilds that will stay on SoR no matter what. The WvW-communities that were leftover were frustrated due to the lack of numbers period, and that they couldn’t get the casual community into WvW. It was like trying to convince a stick of deodorant to belch your dog’s sense of humor. That’s how inconceivable it was, and that’s more or less due to how WvW is designed. Which is something I elaborate further on here. So they left for greener pastures more or less due to frustration, and I don’t blame them. If I want my 24/7 PvP war fix, I play Planetside 2. I wouldn’t play GW2 for it anymore because of the lack of fights (or non-lopsided fights) that you could find.

As of now, the only time you’re going to find a sizeable number of people in WvW is when a guild schedules an event, and that’s a sad state in my opinion but we’re all taking it one day at a time. We need to recover from our loss, pick ourselves back up, stop the blame game, and march our way to a place where SoR is happy. We’ve taken our first steps by clawing out of dead last, and we really have no where else to go but up.

If GW2 sees a population surge, or if some guilds move down to SoR, I hope that the WvW community that it creates is better, happier even, than what we had before.

There are many reasons why WvW fails to attract players. It’s because WvW and the entire concept behind it is stupid.

24/7 constant PvP War sounds great in theory, but in reality, in order for quite a bit of these servers to be successful at WvW, you need a night crew. People to play during off hours. In the lower tiers, you just don’t have that all too consistently. Not only that, but the choices of how you play GW2 are just too split up. You have PvE, SPvP, EOTM, and WvW, but thanks to the megaserver update, a server’s identity is completely lost except for in WvW and guild communities.

Not only that, but WvW in the lower tiers is little more than a boring game of hopscotch. You took SMC? Okay. Enemy will take it right back because you don’t really have the numbers willing to stick around after and scout/defend, especially if there is no incentive to do so. If one out of the 3 servers have a decently-sized night crew then they’ll take most of the entirety of WvW and get a 500-600+ PPT at the end of the night.

In Guild Wars 1, you had a choice on character selection. You could make a PvE character, that could do PvP, but you had to start from level 1 and progress in the story. Or you could make a PvP character that started at max level, but you couldn’t go into any PvE areas with it. Because of this split at character selection, you had consistent dedicated PvPers. Instead ANet has put the focus towards casual gameplay over all else. You can’t really blame the players for going where the money, fun, and activities are. Casual players do not care one lick about Tiers, about PPT, their server’s place in ranking, or about WvW. Most casual players will go into WvW, wonder around, get killed by an enemy k-train, and then leave. There is just nothing worthwhile for the casual player there compared to every other game mode. Quite the opposite since WvW is more of a goldsink that requires some amount of sacrifice.

What ends up winning WvW isn’t some grand strategy, buffs, or high coordination. It’s coverage. People to be playing in WvW constantly in order to defend their structures, order upgrades, and attack enemy territory. If WvW isn’t incentive in some better way, you just don’t have coverage from anyone other than the people who care about WvW. Get more people to care.

The only game that has successfully done constant 24/7 PvP war, is Planetside 2, but in that game, you’re fighting against factions on the same server and not other servers.

Whelp. We aren’t in last place anymore.

This has happened half a dozen times in the span of my last hour playing. What are my options to fix this?

For a better community, you’d need GSCH to stop being peppy and get their act together in wvw, they couldn’t fight if their life depended on it. They come into wvw with random group composition, pve builds, etc. Can’t be blamed as they get whoever can show up.

Unfortunately for SoR, GSCH is their only chance at wvw. Like the other poster said, everyone literally jumped ship.

GSCH is a casual community. We’re not competitive, and we’re not going to change to fit a competitive mindset. A year ago, if not more, we had a lot more active people and made coordinated efforts in WvW with greater activity. It was amazing back then. SoR could put a queue on every single battleground.

Nowadays, I don’t even know. The state of WvW itself sucks. Not just for SoR. If I want to get my fix of massive-scale PvP, I just play Planetside 2.

If you get a good community group who can create a nice environment for players, you’ll problably see people peeking in, and if they like it they are likely to stay. But if the atmosphere around the community is toxic to the point people don’t even want to try, I guess it’s beyond salvation.

I’m pleased to announce that SoR is probably one of, if not the nicest MMORPG server community you will ever find.

“Viktor Rageclaw” I even have a character sheet! http://www.guildwars2roleplayers.com/forum/m/2737230/viewthread/5662241-viktor-rageclaw-sor-tc

Draco Dragonbane – DANOUDADAN! (if in the, “Bane Warband”)

Shendu Cursedfur – I’m actually going to give this a 5. I wouldn’t wanna be in a cursed warband. o.o

SoR has proven itself time and time again that we can handle anything any server can throw at us. When push comes to shove, we don’t crumble. As far as these new changes are concerned, bring it on. I don’t doubt for a moment that we’ll make it to the #1 server in the USA all over again. And this time, we’ll be able to hold that ranking for a long time.

My sides are in orbit.

To give you a short of an answer as possible, yes.

This stuff makes a lot of sense for the Asura and I think Arena Net should really consider making this Physiology canon.

Would like to see what a dev has to say about it though.

Sins Vorkag.5218:

Ye lubbers.. be needin’ more salt

Yer blood n’ tears er all the salt we be needin’.

JaredKincade.9761:

Even better, no winners at all!

What is wrong with you guys. The V in PvP stands for Verses.

Farmville is open I hear.

You need to re-read what you quoted from me too. There would always be a winner and a loser, only there would be no punishments for either!

Right now, at least in my server there is a huge amount of tension between the hardcore players who just wanna win and the casuals who just wanna have fun. Taking away this “My server has a bigger e-peen than yours” would ease a lot of this tension.

I say, forget the whole ranking system and just randomize WvW every week. It’ll take away a lot of the competitive feel and might take away a lot of the tension between the casual and hardcore players.

Mif.3471:

Isredel.4302:

WvW Is fun. Especially when people aren’t being well.. Mean about it.

Nods

It’s rather disappointing when you have a good 2 or 3 minute 1v1 with someone only for them to /laugh when they beat you.

Whatever happen to giving a /bow as a show of respect for a good fight?

People are butts.

Kincaidia.3192:

5 weeks in a row is ridiculous. I, and a good number of other people have resorted to just constant griefing. It’s the only thing that’s fun. Other than that, I’m boycotting til someone at Anet figures out that this is the antithesis of a good system.

They’re better because they can keep coverage throughout the night so this is somehow Arena Net’s fault?

WvW Is fun. Especially when people aren’t being well.. Mean about it.

Nods

Probably used to attract mates.

I was in red borderlands today on the cannon in Bluelake.

I hear we toasted a lot of BG at Bluewater Lowlands.

Is it me, or did this thread degenerate into a, “mine’s bigger than yours” contest?

Both are 2/10 for me. They look as if a Cub just tried to up and name himself.

Kalim Steelhorn – Ranger of the Steel Warband to the Iron legion. He is a weapons R&D specialist.

Flik Blazefang – Elementalist and soon-to-be Legionnaire of the Blaze warband. She is a specialist in magical sabotage, making it so that any Flame Legion rituals will backfire on them. She is also someone people would go to if there were any magical anomalies.

I think most of SoR are straight up WvW addicts.

This is starting to be true.

Sadly, this addiction from a lot of SoR’s community has made elitism rampant among us. Drama-filled elitism. People who are only having fun so long as they’re winning. Players or other guilds that may not be as skilled as some others are regularly being told to get out of WvW or outright being called a waste of space.

It’s childish, disrespectful, and wrong. I not only disagree with it, I heavily condemn it.

The anger towards your guild had nothing to do with an elitest attitude or being lesser skilled.

Your representatives at the server meeting requested an entire borderland for your guild as its so large, we accomidated this request by giving you green.

Your guild then preceded to come into red locking out members from the various other guilds that were assigned to red.

The outrage was more than justified.

I’m gonna tell you right now that you don’t decide how we play. The majority of GSCH was at Green, however, that does not mean that we tell our whole guild, “Okay. You can only play in Green now.” No. That’s unfair to us. Our leaders may not be leading in red, but that does not mean that there won’t be some GSCH squads in red/blue/EB either.

And if you’re talking about Friday, I’ll have you know that we were in Green until we were told by the alliance that, “We sucked to bad to be on Green Borderlands and we should go somewhere more suitable for us like Red Borderlands.” Well we went to Red Borderlands. What came out of it? More harassment and trolling from other allied guilds.

We’re not going to play by the rules of some elitists who want things only done their way or the highway. We’d choose the highway every time. The, “outrage” was not justified at all. People want to play the game. You have a problem with them playing? That’s on you. The other guilds on here will not impede on our fun.

GSCH isn’t leaving SoR. Period. So the other guilds who have a problem with GSCH can either suck it up or transfer off. Between GSCH and some other guilds in the Tuatha, we can completely lock down every BL. We choose not to because we don’t want to impede on other’s fun. It actually goes against our credo despite your efforts to harass our leadership and attack our family. You know who you are.

As of yesterday, the, “zerodrama group” which is so wrongfully named since I’ve seen more drama there than on MTV, has burned it’s bridge with GSCH leadership. Staying with you is tantamount to staying in an abusive relationship.

Feel free to tell me if I’m wrong on any of this.

igibi.4937:

its weird and sad that there is not one true Warband made yet

SAYS WHO!?

ChampionChains.9780:

Isredel.4302:

Turk Ashmaw – 0/10 If you are in the Ash legion saying that you are in the Ash warband, then you are saying that your character is in a Primus Warband. That ties your character into canon and basically tells everyone that your character is family with the Ash Legion Imperator

According to lore and naming guidelines I’ve read, the common warband name used in surnames can be the first or second part of the surname.

Are you saying that Ashmaw is in the, “Maw” warband then? If so, that wasn’t pointed out and my rating would drastically change if he was.

As for titles, you never put down what Kurns did to earn such a title only that he used a flamethrower. A lot of people use flamethrowers. What made your character different enough to earn a title out of it?

Were we allowed to have our names rated twice? Meh.

Aylanis Stoneclaw – 4/10 On paper it looks good, but to the mouth there are too many syllables (3. This is all counting for the first name.) which would make it harder for a raid leader to call your name out on a VoIP without a nickname. The less syllables there are in a name, the better.

Kalith Seerbane – 7/10 Is much better. Don’t know what Warband she’s in though. I doubt there’s a, “Seer” warband of the Blood Legion, so I’ll guess, “Bane”.

Inara Shimmerpaw – 4/10 Same reason as Aylanis. Too many syllables.

Repost on my charr names:

Skaar Redcannon – 2/10 I don’t like the surname at all. That’s just me though.

Kurns the Broiler – 3/10 Not big on titles unless they were somehow earned though accomplishments.

Turk Ashmaw – 0/10 If you are in the Ash legion saying that you are in the Ash warband, then you are saying that your character is in a Primus Warband. That ties your character into canon and basically tells everyone that your character is family with the Ash Legion Imperator

My Charr are named:

The first thing I said when the event started was, “OH HOLY MOTHER OF SERVER LAG!”

At this point, even the overflows need overflows. I doubt this is what ANet intended.

I think it would have been better if the #1 attack on the earth shield dealt out a weakness condition.

I can see guardians having some sort of purity seals on their armor much like Warhammer 40k Space Marines just hanging off of their shoulder armor.

Twilight Zone Guy.1487:

How about you just add an effect where your character tints slightly depending on alignment? Easier to implement, no complaints about hard to attain items, and you get your color.

That would be cool too!

MithranArkanere.8957:

I could see a Prismatic dye that changes with skill or special ability usage:
- Warrior: Starts black and gets brighter like hot metal as adrenaline builds up.
- Guardian: Starts bright white. When each of the virtues is recharging, it loses parts of the basic colors corresponding to a virtue. Justice would be red, courage blue and resolve green. Use justice and courage, but not resolve, and the dye looks green. Use them all, and the dye looks pitch black.
- Ranger: Linked to the health and type of your pet. Healthier pet means brighter colors. Equip a pink ma, and you get pink. Equip a pig and you get lighter pink. Your pig is knocked out, you get dark pink. Your moa gets knocked out, you get darker pink.
- Thief: Linked to steal. Color changes depending on what you’ve stolen.
- Engineer: Liked tothe toolbelt.
- Elementalist: Linked to the attunements. Fire is orange, water is blue, air is lilac and earth is brown.
- Necromancer: Linked to the Death’s Shroud health bar. A darker armor means less shroud left.
- Mesmer: Linked to the number of illusions and recharging skills.

I LOVE IT!

Do this, Anet.

JUST DO IT!

I can see other profession-specific armor sets that has all different features!
