Is Reanimator the worst trait in the game?

I don’t knows if it’s the worst but it’s certainly garbage. I probably wouldn’t mind it so much if my character didn’t cry out whenever it dies.

It’s shameful the game mechanics aren’t more transparent and people are spending valuable time trying to figure out whether a feature works or not.

Stop worrying so much about it and play what’s funnest to you. The rewards in PvP are purely cosmetic and not worth getting bent out of shape over. Pretty much any class can excel in PvE.

Thanks for the well-constructed post. I agree with the issues you list for the class. I’m currently stuck at level 36 (my highest character) and advancing at about a level a week. I’d love these issues addresses or more build flexibility. I got the Shadow Armor garb a little while ago and specced into Healing Power ready to become a vampire and was so greatly disappointed in the siphoning. It’s so miniscule as to be unnoticeable, and why not just spec into Condition Damage and burn your target down at a reasonable level enough to where you’re not taking ANY damage since it’s dead? There’s no diversity in this class. You’re either Condition Damage or bust.

The Female Human epidemic

I’m a male and am attracted to strong females. Female MMA fighters, female bad kitten in novels, etc. It doesn’t bother me a bit. To each their own. I don’t generally create female characters in games only because I know I’d have to try and explain it to my gf, but I don’t see a problem with it. Pick up a book and read something, you’ll see what I’m talking about. Malazan Book of the Fallen, a Wheel of Time. Plenty of strong female leads out there, so why not create another?

which is a good class for DoT's?

The Necromancer should be king but they are struggling with innumerable bugs and lackluster traits right now. Engineers are currently best-in-class for DoTs and Condition Damage. They are also relatively uncommon if that means anything to you.

Raid of the Capricorn, the worst map in existence.

I definitely dislike this map more than any other and do my best to avoid it. The sharks do way too much damage and once a team takes the point, it becomes a nigh impregnable fortress if it’s guarded by even one defender. Awful design.

Signet Passives On Cooldown with Active?

Evening All,

I noticed my Signet of Domination wasn’t giving me the +Condition Damage buff while its Active phase was on cooldown. Is this by design or a bug? I figured a Signet’s passive would stay on consistently as if it goes on cooldown with the Active, you are getting a much lower uptick time on the passive buff, almost to the point it’s not worth having at all and you might as well just slightly increase the Active effect.

Thanks for any information.

I do it because it’s fun. I treat Crafting as a sort of mini-game: Buying/finding mats I need, selling those I don’t; discovering new items to build, seeing what I can come up with; actually creating something you can use that is better than what you’ve got. It’s just something extra to do. If you treat it purely as a Min/Max exercise then you will be disappointed and should probably just buy your items the way you suggest.

Can't queue as a team??

I agree with the OP. I work a lot of hours and bought the game under the assumption that me and my brother could team together in PvE and even do some competitive gaming together with PvP. It’s just the two of us and we’re casual players, so tournaments are not a good match. I just want to PvP a little with my brother without going through a lot of hassle and I’m befuddled this functionality doesn’t exist in a game with such high production values in pretty much all other areas…
