HP's for PoF Elites

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kreed.2768

Kreed.2768

i have 355 hps with my guardian, it would be kinda silly to have the full spec just at the beggining of the expansion, i’m assuming it will be 400 or probably 300

Doubtful, in my opinion. The reason you have so many more than you currently need is likely because they lowered the amount required to unlock a HoT elite spec. When HoT launched you needed, I believe, a whopping 400 HPs to fully unlock it. They reduced it due to the amount of complaints received about it.

1. no
2. yes
3 Depends on you.

When you say ‘Depends on you’, what does that mean? You’re way too vague lmao

For instance, will people in WvW be using a hybrid between Scourge and Reaper? You need to remember I haven’t played since [pretty much] vanilla GW2, so I’m not aware of all the changes made to builds. -- Can people use both the Reaper and Scourge trait lines, or is it limited to only one?

I don’t think you understand. It is not possible to use two elite specs at the same time, so hybrids are literally impossible. This was an intentional design choice by Anet.

I have my share of okay looking rifles for whatever my Thief will become at this point.

However, my engi still could use some shotguns. The Ogre blaster is getting old now.

I think the Privateer Rifle might be a nice option if you’re looking for a more short barrel type shotgun look.

There will always be some trolls and tryhards around, no matter what multiplayer game you play. However, I will say that GW2 has probably the most friendly and helpful community I have ever seen for an online game. My gf tried out the game a few weeks ago and was completely weirded out by how helpful and friendly random strangers are in this game, because she’s used to the toxicity and selfishness that runs rampant in other games like MOBAs and other MMO’s.

Will mounts trully keep you playing more? Were they really necessary?

The main idea behind mounts is that they remove the need to compromise your build to include movement speed increases to get around faster. No more need to take swiftness utilities or weapons. No more need to take a movement speed signet or trait.

I’ve only really tested…

Soulbeast: 3/10 – It has some fun synergies like Sic ‘Em and Maul while in Beastmode, but that doesn’t make up for its current shortcomings. The dagger, in its current state, is going to be the worst weapon of the class by far and will never be touched by anyone even remotely half serious about doing decent damage. It scales horribly with both power and condi, and its longer cast times on the AA and #2, when compared to main hand daggers on other classes and elite specs, make it feel incredibly sluggish. The skills are also pretty bland, with #2 in particular just feeling a boring trash skill with no interesting functionality to make it worth using. Finally, its traits and utilities are (also) generally very boring and uninspired (when compared to other elite specs). I believe them when they say the whole pet melding mechanic took a lot of technical work to implement effectively and make core traits and skills work with Beastmode, but that doesn’t mean they should’ve slacked on the rest; because that’s what it feels like they did.

Story missions too unfair for solo players

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kreed.2768

Kreed.2768

A lot of games nowadays include a “Story Mode” difficulty type because they’re designed for people who don’t actually want to play the game, but are there for an interactive, cinematic experience… or something. I guess those types of “gamers” exist now, but I don’t know if an action MMORPG like GW2 needs it. I don’t think the story content is particularly challenging as long as you have a basic grip of the mechanics and run a decent build/gear setup. If you die too easily, a setup that is a bit sturdier might be a solution. Sure, it won’t win you fights quite as fast, but that’s better than not winning them at all, right?

Ranger class kicked from WvW and PvE

Kreed.2768

Rangers give themselves a name, and that name is selfish loner, never do i see rangers supporting the team in pve or pvp, usually they are the first to run ahead and KS the mobs in a event before slower classes can get a tag in

Even if rangers were good for pve i wouldnt take one because i know the type of kid that would play a ranger knowing the state they are in…just a clueless kid who wants easy street

Did a big bad ranger take your precursor drop or something?

Seriously though, the moment people start throwing around buzz words like “kid” and make negative, baseless assumptions about the players who play the class, is the moment they’re not worth taking seriously anymore. Stay salty.

Ranger skill [suggestion]

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kreed.2768

Kreed.2768

I’m sorry, but how would that even work on classes that already have more than two F skills? On top of that, forcing your class mechanic onto other players sounds like absolutely bad design. But even if it was something like a bundle that others can “pick up,” the first argument still stands.

I’d rather have Anet work on improving the existing pet mechanics instead, to be honest.

Edit: okay, you added stuff.

Merging with pet: been a lot of discussion on this already in regards to soulbeast. General consensus is that it’s wasted time and people are not fond of the idea of it basically being a WoW shaman. We don’t need to copy WoW.

Pet charge up + stat increase: BM traitline already does the latter. Don’t know what the point of a new ski would be when there’s existing ones that suck or are still bugged (Anet, fix plz).

Pet invis: already have a pet that does that. Would invalidate that pet if all pets could do it.

Pet portals: how would that work?

Pet aoe heal: sylv hound gives regen on its howl, I believe. And isn’t there a trait that heals nearby allies on swap?

Trade positions with pet: been suggested as part of the soulbeast’s beastmode merge mechanic, where you shadowstep to the pet’s location when merging. Currently, it only does it the other way around, so it would add some interesting gameplay opportunities.

My Soulbeast dreams for PoF

in Ranger

Posted by: Kreed.2768

Kreed.2768

I agree. I love my long bow and since we are Rangers, you would think that would be the main focus.

Ranger =/= ranged.

The term ranger doesn’t mean someone who focuses on the use of ranged weapons, so that’s not a valid enough reason to think the class should be focused around bows.

The official description, official art, and implementation of the profession in GW1 were all heavily focused on archery.

That wasn’t the point I was trying to make. I was just pointing out that the term ranger itself has nothing to do with ranged weaponry/fighting and that it was thus a poor argument to back up the notion that the class should have a greater focus on it. Don’t get me wrong though, I’m all for buffs to our ranged weapon options as much as the next ranger. Been running longbow since they gave it some buffs like RF being a machinegun intead of just 10 AA’s with a vuln stack at normal speed. God, that was terrible before the change…

I, personally, wouldn’t have found it logical if Rev was locked behind one specific expansion (HoT). And they’re not exactly “handing out” the Rev, since you still have to buy an expansion to unlock it.

soul beast need new dagger animation and not the thief one

Recycling of animations is nothing new. They did it in HoT too. I’m more concerned about the fact that the Soulbeast’s dagger AA is slower than that of the thief AND Spellbreaker, even though the damage scaling seems undertuned for both power and condition. On top of that, it just feels… clunky to have such a slow AA chain.

Soulbeast

  • Traits seems lackluster, especially the Grandmasters and even more so when compared to other e-specs. They should tie into Beastmode and each encourage a different type of playstyle. See Scourge and Holosmith’s Grandmaster traits as examples of how it was done right.

To add a little more about how to make the Soulbeast’s grandmasters a bit more unique and tied into the elite specialization’s mechanic, here are some quickly brainstormed possibilities:

  • Make one GM trait reduce or remove the cooldown that normally applies when leaving Soulbeast form. This is for the players who like to dip in and out of the Soulbeast and quickly rotate through all the abilities available, without wanting to put the pet at too much risk just because they want to swap over to the other pet and meld with them instead.
  • Make one GM apply Fury, a couple stacks of Might and Quickness when entering or exiting Beastmode. This is for the players who want to rotate in and out of Beastmode at tactical moments (burst spikes).
  • Make one GM double the stat bonus applied when melding with a pet. However, make it a buff a la Grace of the Land that stacks five times over ten seconds. This would be for the players who want to camp Beastmode.

Just some random suggestions that might or might not be balanced, but I wanted to give an idea of what I thought some more GM’s that tie in with the elite spec’s mechanic could look like.

Edit: replaced Stability with Quickness to the GM that gives boons, since it makes more sense, given that it provides more synergy with other traits in the Soulbeast line.

  • Dagger skill animations/casttimes are too long, making the weapon feel too sluggish and not fluid, especially compared to dagger on thief and spellbreaker.
  • Dagger damage seems incredibly low, both for power and condi, considering the fact it puts you in melee range and the weapon doesn’t have an evade on any of its skills.
  • Traits seems lackluster, especially the Grandmasters and even more so when compared to other e-specs. They should tie into Beastmode and each encourage a different type of playstyle. See Scourge and Holosmith’s Grandmaster traits as examples of how it was done right.

Speaking of the Gazzelle, this pet is OP as kitten eventually it will be nerf to kitten. Just hit a warrior with this thing F2 pet skill at 12k not sure if I was dreaming or what. And good to know Potent Ally works while on Beastmode definitely opening up some Power build with this, just wondering does it proc twice for might? cause I noticed as well that while in beastmode or Dagger 2 skill double strikes.

As far as I can tell it procs only once per cooldown interval (1s), so no double might stacks for us, unfortunately. Natural Healing also applies to us while in Beastmode, I’ve found out, so that also needs to go on the pile for Beastmode tooltip adjustments.

You’re in the wrong profession sub-section for this one.

Nah I’m in the right section, perhaps you have not realized that stealth skills are not only for thieves, mesmers also now have them, so why not ranger longbow? it makes perfect sense since we can stealth via longbow, why any ranger would be against this truly baffles me.

Uh, no, mesmers do not have Stealth Attacks. What you are thinking of is the Ambush skills they gain when they use their Mirage Cloak, which is not a stealth, but the invulnerability blur that replaces their dodge roll.

Soulbeast Demo Weekend Feedback

in Ranger

Posted by: Kreed.2768

Kreed.2768

At first, I didn’t like the Soulbeast as I began hitting some golems in the PvP lobby. The dagger is incredibly clunky as it is right now. It just feels… slow. As suggested by others, some reduced cast times might be the solution here. Other than that, if it’s supposed to be a condi weapon, it’s disappointing me terribly so far in that regard. It needs to be buffed.

Then I moved on to trying power, after reading what some of you were saying. Boy, is it a lot of fun! As I began digging around in the trait-lines, I noted how much work was actually done to adjust them to work with Beastmode. Well done for that. One thing I’ve found that I’d like to note though: Potent Ally works with Beastmode, thus allowing you to self-stack might on crits, but the tooltip has not been adjusted to mention this.

Some of the stuff you can do with a Soul Beast power build is pretty nuts though. Sic ‘Em + Maul, for example. Also, my rock gazelle managed to score a 7.8k crit with its charge on a golem (with BM equipped). That’s going to hurt unsuspecting squishes a lot.

What is Soulbeast's role?

in Ranger

Posted by: Kreed.2768

Kreed.2768

I have the same question as you, HA. And I think that the answer (at least for now) is versatility seems to be the point. It’s a “what you make of it” spec. The pets you choose will have a lot of impact on what you can do, the dagger is available for a condi spec, but you can use whatever, and the stances offer another type of utility skill. But it does appear to lack any obvious role, and maybe that’s the point?

That may very well be the idea, yes. In my opinion Ranger was always supposed to pick their pets based on the situation, creating flexibility. Unfortunately it ultimately turned out differently due to the nature of various modes, making only a small amount of pets actually useful. The Soulbeast could be seen as the spiritual successor of that original idea of offering flexibility.

In any case, I, for one, am looking forward to having some more CC available, especially vs all those breakbars that mobs have nowadays.

The Mounts are Useless

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Kreed.2768

Kreed.2768

A year ago I would have probably said no to the idea of adding mounts to Guild Wars 2. But here is a plus point to getting mounts in Guild Wars 2: we’ll no longer be forced to waste a slot on a signet or utility skill for swiftness, forced to take a trait, or even an entire rune set, just to get around the map faster or keep up to the group or squad. Anet also implemented the mounts in ways that make them more than just glorified speed boosters. Each mount has its own unique aspects tthat set apart from the others and gives it more value than just picking whichever one you think looks best.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Kreed.2768

As far as I can tell, especially with the latest patch, is that Anet wants to make each Elite Spec their own sort of niche that complements the core class or give it new options the core class lacks. This why some of the gen 1 elite specs got nerfed in certain regards, so that they’re no longer straight up upgrades to the core class (see Tempest, for example). It’s kind of bad it took this long to get there, but at least we’re there now and PoF looks to add more elite specs that give new options to classes, rather than being a straight up upgrade again.

Returning player, current State of Revenant?

in Revenant

Posted by: Kreed.2768

Kreed.2768

I recently started running Rev in WvW because my elementalist build finally felt significantly diminished from all the nerfs. I decided on a condi Rev build since it appears to offer group support with Glint and fairly good dps with Mallyx. So far, after learning the rotations, I’m starting to really enjoy it for front-line. I was surprised after hearing such awful things about the class. Did the latest balance patch enhance this class or hurt it? It seems that the condi damage on my current build out dps’s my condi necro – which either says something about my necro build or that rev is getting an undeserved bad reputation because of previous nerfs. What does everyone think?

As far as I could tell, the patch was pretty much buffs across the board, mainly to traits and legends that were underperforming, such as Jalis. I’m holding off on making any condi gear for my own Rev until the expansion is out and I can slot Renegade. I kind of want that shortbow as second condi weapon before I commit to a condi build.

as some one who is about to make a rev… I have noticed, I do not see alot of them. I see gobs of Warriors, and guardians but almost not revs. I like that and that is why I want to play one. but that also means lots of more room to look bad.

I recently returned to the game, but from what I gathered, the class was in a bad place before the recent patch, so that might be why. Personally, I went from Rev back to Ranger because the glint/shiro build had gotten boring to play, but didn’t feel condi rev was gonna be a thing for me without a second condi weapon/legend. The new elite spec might change this for me.
