Like many have mentioned, Renegade feels like an afterthought, so makes sense they had no clue and maybe just grabbed a name that was female? which kinda blows for us. I am hoping that all the posts have been looked at and a few changes were made. We shall soon know….

Come raid with us!

Can I come on my Rev??!!

I kid…I kid…..but great thing you guys doing!!

Many of us play condi rev on most of the tier 1 bosses and some others just fine I wouldn’t mind a rev on my team with exception of Deimos/matt/samarog as break is low, and as it’s still pre-PoF, no range option.

Good to know!!

Renegade summons probably need a breakbar at least.

SB5…no? Seems like “best” option. But yea, the elite shouldn’t die cuz as someone mentioned its either on or off, upkeep/channelled…you get my point. So if it dies right away can you repop it or get energy back or…or…..so many or’s.

Ya know what? In spite of all the doom and gloom with Renegade and how terribad it is going to be I am going to stick it out.
Why? Because its a fun class to play, period. And that’s what it all boils down to really, is it fun?
Yea, I may have to jump back onto my cPS if I wanna do raids but meh, overall I am sticking with Revenant and let the chips fall.

So until the Revenant completely falls out of the meta for each game mode and people actually stop using it then I wouldn’t expect much outside of Kalla tweaks. I guess people just are incapable of learning you can’t lie to the devs who can actually access the in game data.

try taking a rev to any raid other than deimos kiting. It HAS fallen out of the meta in PvE ever since NR/SoI nerf and that has been a LONG time. yet no buffs despite split PvP balance.

yea, I try, and my raid leader laughs and says escort…sure. Trash otherwise. But have hope for Renegade!!

Renegade: 9/10 – Because it was fun (to me)and I have faith it will shine! Color me silly but yea…..
Spellbreaker: 8/10 – If I did pvp I see its worth. For raids waiting for the jury to be out but doubtful. But then nothing wrong with each class having specific builds for specific content.
Holosmith: 8/10 – Just crazy….see a nerf coming soon but good job showing Engi some love (might have to main it again), again, all based on raid usefulness.

most ppl are done at 17:00, they are not home till 18:00 at least.
first you ppl do it when ppl go to bed and then do it at the time ppl are not even home, good timing Anet -_-

We conduct stress tests when the developers are able to participate. This is not a preview, this is a test with a purpose. We’re fully aware that not everyone will be able to participate, and we’re sorry. But asking the dev team to time-shift to work during night-time hours for a stress test would be counterproductive.

We thank those who choose to and are able to participate and we look forward to seeing everyone on September 22nd when we launch the game!

I will be at work. But that is ok. I can wait for the PoF release.

Thanks for being so understanding. The game will be better for everyone with the help of those who are able to participate, and I appreciate your positive attitude!

Ah, come on…a little night shift never hurt anyone…lol! I mean you are in the land of Starbucks are you not? Get them peeps to send down some freebies!!

Is there a revenant meta build for PvE that’s relevant to non-HoT players..? or should I start farming craft levels for the Sinister set..?

No because you can only play revenant if you own HoT up till the new expansion. You might want to see the new stat sets that will be releasing with PoF to see if they are better than sinister.

Oh yea, we all stupidos for sure…no HOT no Rev right? Silly us. But OP bought it, and good on ya, you will enjoy. Now get stuck in for 3 weeks!!! And yea, I’d wait to see what new things come out. Just learn the class.

Viper is all crafted, and the trinkets and such you can get through the Living story’s. Its account bound as well, so cant be bought sadly. Use the WIKI and you can see where its available from. Its a bit expensive unless you farm for it, but then again that’s only the accessories.

Ah yea, my bad, missed the you don’t have HOT bit. Sinister it is then and its only creatable as well.

Little help with Rev and torment?

in Revenant

Posted by: Joxer.6024

Joxer.6024

Condi Rev was buffed a couple of months ago: now skills from mace, axe and Mallyx stack more torment and also chill can be traited to proc torment. As aftermath, is easy to stack 30-40 stacks of torment in matter of seconds, specially en PvE. But Echoing Eruption was changed and no longer tracks: goes towards where your character face, so now requieres more micro.

Also, last month torment was changed a little in PvE so instead of doing 50% of the damage while the enemy stands and 50% while moving now most of the damage is done without movement, so works better vs mobs.

That’s all, the only changes to condi Rev were done in the last 3 months so reading the last two patches will give you info enougth.

Awesome! thanks for that, going to go have a read now!

Having just come back to my Rev after about a year (as I am going to give Renegade a go, I have faith, lol) I find myself a tad “new” to some things that have changed. Mostly in terms of damage and how we do it.
I understand a change was made to torment so that it is not such a bad thing for us now? Just how does that change pan out, in terms of dps and all? Just trying to get a handle on what damage I do and how much I can expect and such. I am running full viper as per the QT folks suggestions but I really like to try and know my class from the inside which is why I am asking about torment. I’m just not really clear on what it translate to for us, and, is it a good thing?
Thanks all and also any tips would be most appreciated. I mostly PVE/raid but am starting to stick a toe into wvw as well. And yea, I know, "roll another class " is going to be the number one tip but other than that? Cheers!

Oh, and why does Echoing Eruption randomly attack in the opposite direction of what you have targeted….. lol? Broke much? The 1200 range is kinda odd and weird getting used to when most your attacks are melee.

The Easy-Mode Compromise

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Joxer.6024

Joxer.6024

My stance: Keep making raids, make the first boss of every raid easy, make the middle boss medium difficulty, make the final boss hard. Keep doing challenge motes if it is not too resource heavy. I.e. If it takes more resources to make a challenge mote than to make an entire encounter of equal difficulty, make the new encounter instead. Considering the art assets are reused, I would assume this is not the case.

That right there could possibly solve a lot of complaining.

Waste of resources really. You “practice” raid bosses by doing the raids, period. And researching if its out there.
Again, the raids themselves aren’t really hard, some fights are tougher than others of course but after a few, ok several, wipes/hours most teams get it down. That or walk away and come back another day. I recall spending weeks on a wing in WOW to the point that people would threaten to rage quit and all sorts of drama and then BAM!!!, you get it down!
That’s the nature of the beast, its meant to challenge and try the best of groups.

how can the devs not realize rev needs a freaking overhaul. But we keep getting gimmicks to help us compete but it never works. I’m sick of spamming one op skill because that’s all that’s worth using. I’m sick of using upkeep skills just to spam my auto attack. I’m sick of bland traits. I’m sick of legends being so one dimensional to the point where there’s no synergy between them. And I’m about to be real sick of spamming wells/spirits that die and spamming my auto attack yet again.

Tell us how you really feel mate!!! But yea, I feel you, and if for no other reason than to stop you from being sick, cuz that’s not fun, lets hope we are heard and SOMETHING happens?!! :P

Joxer.6024

Let’s see if I get this right… Guild Wars 2 players are wanted to get into game on 31 August 2017 and use demo accounts, spend hours in Path of Fire, just tot test PoF product.

Will I get payed? Will I get any rewards? Will I get anything for my time spent on testing your product or content?

From what I understand I get nothing from testing other virtual content. The demo account will be erased, and I won’t get any reward or attention from my time spent there, in that expansion. Why should I do that?! There is no fun in wasting valuable time that will be erased and forgotten later. Every second of life counts.

I am sorry, but like Benjamin Franklin said: “Time is money”. I shall not help you with my time unless you pay me.

I had been rendered speechless precisely four times in my entire life.

That count is now five.

Enjoy your free hours on Thursday, as I will — and many will — enjoy a couple of hours in the new map for Guild Wars 2. To each his/her/their own.

Gaile…you really need to come to Australia some time, would love to meet you! You seem like a really cool person!

That’s really nice of you! There are few things I dream of more than visiting Australia and New Zealand. In fact, when people do those “bucket list” polls on FB, I often list that very thing. Someday, I hope! <3

There’s been a disheartening amount of negative feedback and, frankly, hate towards the Renegade on these forums (and also on reddit), as a Revenant main it’s been pretty painful to watch. Surely we can have some degree of faith that ANet’s internal testing strategy is good and that it will turn out to be a great group PvE spec (which is what it seems to be designed to be)?

…can’t we…?

It would be nice to get a developer comment, any kind of acknowledgement of the community’s concerns, but I doubt we will. Their new strategy seems to be “don’t comment, only deliver” and I can’t entirely blame them. Any dev commenting on this forum right now would get their face chewed off instantly and that’s got to be an unpleasant experience coming off of months of work trying to make something that will make the players happy…!

I miss the HoT beta days though. Remember the “dodge fluff maybe?” suggestion post, which got our misty dodge effect added?

Anyway, I’m still planning to take my Revenant into PoF first, with the full set of Viper gear I made ready for the occasion. If it’s un-fun though, I’m preparing some gear for my engineer too and I’ll go Holosmith.

Yea, I’m with ya on that one, only other toon may be a Spellbreaker….maybe.

It’ll be full viper unless PoF randomly and inexplicably has new insane expertise food—which it won’t cuz they literally just nerfed that.

As for grinding out your 4 Nightmare runes, you might wanna wait on that—there might be something new and super useful in the PoF runesets.

Nightmare runes are virtually taken care of by running 2 TA paths and doing dungeon frequenter (8 paths, 2 of which you already cleared with TA).

It’s super fast to get.

Are they?? Thanks for that!!!

Ok, so with ALL the bad press and comments and threads and junk about how bad Renegade is going to be, how many of you are still keeping the faith and hoping that ANET just might perform some sort of miracle and Renegade will be fine, and therefore you are sticking to it?
I for one am. Rev was my first raid toon and in spite of how it felt to play (yea, clunky as) I am still really keen to give it a go and hopefully it has a spot in raids. If not, well then maybe someone will make Spellbreaker viable but NIKE highly doubts it and I tend to listen to what the folks that invest heaps into a class have to say.
So, I shall be on the Renegade bandwagon and really hope we see some positives once it launches! I mean I have read some good points so there is hope…..

In my opinion the bleeding should get replaced by torment, and it needs some chill or at least poison.

No..no..no…we need the bleeds from a pve standpoint to be more viable as torment is crap in raids really but on your other points, yea, ditto.

Since last patch torment does the same damage as bleeding vs stationary targets and spikes on mobile ones.

(0.06 * Condition Damage) + 22 damage per stack per second at level 80 for Bleeding and Stationary Torment

(0.09 * Condition Damage) + 31.8 damage per stack per second at level 80 for Torment while moving.

Just coming back to Rev with hopes for the new elite. Cheers for that info!!

Uhhhh Currently Condi rev hits 32k on a NON moving golem with a legend that honestly has no real synergy jails. Add in shortbow alone and we gain access to a condi (bleeding) we never had before outside of a sigil proc geomancy plus some more burning.

Gain access to a raw damage increase with Kalla’s Fevor which will undoubtedly be traited for pve 300% ferocity and 20% condition damage are you kidding me??? We have a trait that increases our bleeding by 25% when we have fury. Shortbow skills will pierce and inflict 25% more bleeding with heartpiercer.

Then we have the utility skills where they’re going to be perfectly fine in a pve setting because summoned Ai take massively reduced damage. Razorclaw’s Rage will effectively give 5 allies 10 bleed stacks.

While Icerazors fire will prob be used by power builds it actually does a healthy amount of damage. Then Darkrazor’s Daring which is 6 pulses of daze which in itself is decent cc 600 break bar damage over the course of 6 seconds so you can be doing other break bar damage with sb 5 which is 200 for a total.

Then ofc the elite skill which is just an outright damage boost because the damage portion has no icd. Plus its an energy drain type again which will proc Diabolic Inferno just more than once if energy permitting.

Oh I sooo want to really get behind you on your points, all great ones! Am so holding out hope that what you have mentioned is viable. But…..what about:

“any kind of cc will disable any effect the summons are giving out, an example to give is imagine using your elite summon and gorseval slams the ground, you and your group might of dodged but the summon is now cced and you’re draining energy and it’s not giving out the life drain/siphon anymore. meanwhile ranger spirits for example give out their buffs regardless of cc without energy costs.”

That’s a very good point, unless as you mentioned its not the case in pve? I myself am not really sure but if bosses can make them useless then we are right back to standing at the entrance to raid watching the parade go by.
