Guild Wars 2

Some great changes in weapon skills but I would like to add my brick to the wall of rage about Inspiring Reinforcement nerf, this skill is now unusable in WvW and very situational in PvP (PvE doesnt need stability that much anyway). We already have to wait 1-2 sec for the skill to start pulsing ANY stability (imo this should happen the moment you step on the road, obviously the far end of the field would start pulsing later but the close one should pulse the moment the skill is cast) but now we also have to stand exactly on this skill to keep it with a big “Wells and nukes here plz” sign over our head. I’ll be putting Jalis away on a shelf to gather dust in the next beta unless some changes happen to this skill.

RIP Jalis (until more balance changes)? Inspiring Reinforcement used to be the only good skill in this legend, now we are getting some buffs elsewhere which is nice (Forced Engagement is still trash due to energy cost) but with this change revenant really lacks stability now and especially party-wide stability. Inspiring Reinforcement was already difficult to use effectively because of how slow it was and how long it took to get the first stability stack, people just run away from it before it starts pulsing. Now it’s still slow but also does nothing the moment you step outside of it, so I can’t cast it on a CC effect in order to go through it (have to wait 1-2 sec for stability to start pulsing, might just as well not go there at all) and I can’t use it before engagement to prepare. Well, we see changes every time there is a beta so I have hope but right now this skill is pretty bad (Forced Engagement is still worse, making Jalis an awful legend overall)

For a Gold tier PPTfest and blobs with your blobs try (…) Gandara (…)

It’s probably worth to clarify that during the evening/prime time (~7pm-10pm BST) Gandara is mostly FULL (i.e. no space for more raid guilds) and runs mostly medium sized closed guild raids so don’t count on blobbing at that time outside of EB. If you’re looking to move here make sure to ask/say hi on our website first.
Also if we end up in higher gold after this week I personally think it’s an honest mistake and we can get back to our comfy not-blobby spot soon enough

Apologies, i meant Scroll of knowledge, I’m assuming Tomes will work as before although i have no idea what will happend when you use them on a lvl 80 character. I’m also storing them for leveling a revenant. Edited original post

From what i understand all Scrolls of Knowledge will be converted to the new Mystic Forge currency or other from of crafting material. The skill points unlocked from levelling and skill challenges will be converted to hero points which contribute to unlocking skills and traits (so I’m assuming old characters with full skills and trait unlocks will just keep the unlocks).

My questions is, what about freshl lvl 80 character that spend levelling and skill challenge skill points on MF instead of skills ^^? Will they end up getting any hero points at all? I smell profit (or sadness if my new ranger ends up with 0 hero points and 0 skills/traits)

I’d certainly recommend my home Gandara, mostly because of the variety of guilds available, friendly atmosphere and attitude of many commanders to educate new players.

We have guilds that organise small group roaming, scouting/defending objectives, bigger scale guild raids and GvG and of course excellent public commanders who will make you a good WvW player as long as you’re listening to them on TS.

So you can try and see which one will suit you most. Still, gold league is gold league so expect blobs and 15-30 ppl guild groups running around during prime time, both from Gandara and whoever we get matched with. Even then you can do a lot with just a few people while guilds are busy with each other. We almost took north bay with a few guildies the other day while two bigger guilds were fighting south .
