Are there viable builds with Shaman Stats?

in Players Helping Players

Yeah, I would gladly do that if there was a sandbox server where I could test it. I.E get full ascended gear and go pve/pvp without having to spend thousands of gold on it. I wouldn’t have copy pasted someone elses build either. I would’ve just seen there are possibilities, possibly copy paste the build and then change it as I went a long and felt what would be better and what wouldn’t.. I suppose?

Are there viable builds with Shaman Stats?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Lipstick.3469

Lipstick.3469

I have over my years in this game attained 3 zintl weapon chests (Shaman Stats). I have all classes at level 80 except Thief and I was just cleaning out my bank and noticed these chests just lying in there wasting space.

So my question to my fellow players is; Is there any viable build for any viable class that involves Shaman Stats? So I can use these chests and gear up another of my characters.

Shaman stats:
Primary: Vitality
Secondary: Healing Power
Secondary: Condition Damage

I got one from scale 11 fractals before the patch (Fractal Rifle). I didn’t even know it was possible to get it at 10-19 tier prepatch.

They obviously do this to force us to buy more transmutation stones with gems.

In hindsight this might be true.. I’ve also seen an increase in green runes/sigils.

Also stop talking about bans. Noone will get banned for this.

U dont need AR. If u can dodge = win in normal Fractals.

And when did u played last time gw? Thousends gold for legendary? hundreds for asc weapon? Lol.
Craft it yourself.

You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.

The new fractals have agony checks in form of constant agony during the beginning of the bossfights. I did weaponsmithing 1-500 just yesterday. Ontop of having almost ALL materials I had to spend roughly 100g on Soft Wood Plank, Orichalcum Imbued Inscriptions and some other things. Imagine being completely new to the game. The grindfest (either farming gold in dungeons or getting materials by farming) that ensues is horrendous.

This is kind of a repost but it is from an edit I made:

And I don’t think people are saying, “change if you want.” People that have the current skin don’t want to change it they just want to keep it. It isn’t an issue of, “well here is the new one let us know if you want to change it to it.” but people just want to keep the one they paid for.

Well if the new set they make looks even better, then I wouldn’t want to keep it.

But obviously I spent my Total Makeover Kits to model my character after this current set. The new set might not work at all with the hairstyle I’ve chosen and the accessory color, skin color, face and body type et.c.

So it’s a bit of a gamble.

Well the people who used RWM on the set will get their gems refunded if they don’t like it. As such they can just spend the gems on something else. I bought the gems needed for RWM and I couldn’t care less about that. If I don’t like the set I’d want my gems refunded and the total makeover kits and then I would just save the gems for future sets or buy something different with them.

You know, in looking at all the situations with players and their different needs, I really believe the best course here is to wait for the introduction of the replacement armor set. From what I’ve been told, it’s going to be really nice. Please keep in mind we’ve already made it clear that Customer Support will try to resolve the individual concerns that you may have once the armor change is made. Each of you may have slightly different situations. But since the armor is not out now, and because we will be happy to address your concern after you’ve had time to appraise the new set, doesn’t it make sense to wait and see?

It definitely does. But I believe most players feel that if they don’t voice their concerns right now, the issue might “run out in the sand” as they say where I come from. Meaning something like: Either them or you will just not consider the issue serious anymore, and the anger it has ‘caused’ subsides with time. Thus nothing will be done about it, nothing will be refunded and noones concerns are voiced or heard. It just dissipates and gets accepted as it is. Even if one is not satisfied with the new set.

Anyhow. On a different matter; you should tell your dev friends to rework the Heavy and Medium Flamekissed as well. Doesn’t seem right that the light armor users get an “awesome” skin while Medium and Heavy users just gets Karma and WvW armor with some random flame effects on them.

Initially I almos believed it to be a mistake. That you released T3 Human armor for Light, but random crap sets for the Medium and Heavy :P

kitten it. I even changed my Mesmer from Male to Female for this set. It looked so awesome. Now it’s going to get one of those extremly crappy karma looks or something. Can I have a refund of two Total Makeover Kits as well? Doubt it. But oh well..

Two Total Makeover Kits you ask? Well.. One for making my now human female (with male name) back into a male again and one for the Total Makeover Kit I wasted. I had even planned on renaming it and bought gems for that purpose. But never got that far (luckily).

Happy with +30 Change? Post Here!

Posted by: Lipstick.3469

I like it. I reached scale 30 today after some hard work. But I sincerely believe those above 30 should be compensated. Maybe 2 gold per level of FotM that gets reset? Or something. I don’t know. Just doesn’t seem right to the poor kittens who bought countless revive orbs to get to 80+.

They should definitely be compensated for their hard work. A system is meant to be broken, the fact that they broke through the caps by “abusing” exploits is what made ANet aware of them and able to patch them. They’ve done ANet a great service and it wasn’t easy for them to do.

Maybe make an “old” leaderboard of whoever is highest currently and reward them thereafter with titles or such that will be exclusive to them for being able to destroy ANets content.

Try playing an Engineer in condition heavy content without conditionclearing team players and enjoy the dying. Engineer is by far the profession with the least amount of condition removal.

On a more serious note; this Zerk Only Build PvE with only Warriors and Guardians is getting very tiresome. Please ANet, do something about it. I play every profession, but right now I’ve fallen hard for the Engineer. But the Engineer (according to everyone else) is completely useless in PvE, same as the Ranger is considered. I don’t want to play my Mesmer/Guardian. Apparantly I am forced to, anyway. So I guess it’s time to reroll again.

[PvE] Dungeon Speedrun Zerk Build

Lipstick.3469

Is this build still viable? I have been trying it in random fractals (disorganised groups). I my max with bombs currently is 5.5k. Nowhere close to OPs damage. This was in Grawls Fractal with Superior Sigil of Night and Superior Rune of the Scholar. I use a ascalon weapon skin to tell if it is night or not on my Superior Sigil of Night rifle.

But I am not full ascended yet, I have an ascended rifle though, OP did not. How much does weapon damage affect kits, if at all?

Agreed.. Ditching Engineer, I guess.. Maybe that is what they want? To have us all reroll.. I loved the Engineer as it was. I also play many professions, and can say that the Engineer was already balanced.. Not sure what will happen to it now. Back to my Necromancer I go.

Noooo I mean Grenadier is Grandmaster tier and IP was moved to Master tier.

Which means you can still have both.

Aye. I edited last post. Darnit you’re fast. Then these changes has barely any significance to the build I’m running with exception of the Speedy Kits changes which isn’t that big of a deal. Just got to learn to use my dodges more carefully.

I don’t care much about the permanent vigor, that is an agreeable change. But why change Incendiary Powder to Master Tier? This will severely diminish the usefulness of grenade kit forcing us to choose between Incendiary Powder or further range and an extra grenade. Will any one be running grenade kit at all with this changes? I just spent all my laurels on condition ascended gear for my Engineer and soon my build will be useless?

Master tier, not Grandmaster tier.

Hmm.. Maybe I was too fast to judge. Thank you for correcting me in my mistake and putting my mind at ease.. My build will still be viable then!

I just went through all 38 points this morning. Still got 36/38. I have the “Not so secret” cleared. I specifically checked for the increase on this one. As I did for most. But forgot on some.. Not sure which ones are bugging and really can’t be kitten d to go through all again.

Giver's 10% Condition Duration doesn't work.

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Lipstick.3469

Lipstick.3469

Just on a sidenote: I have not used this set, but i’ve seen nobody mentioning having full givers gear: Weapons, 6 armorslots, all trinkets. Only parts of this set.
So who did? And with what conditions from what skills?

I ask because this might be a 2-way bug looked at from the wrong direction.
Is it the set that is bugged? Or are there specific skills or conditions that do not proc with this while other skills do?

In short: Is the set bugged? the math inaccurate? or are these issues specific to only a certain condition or skills?

If you are wondering why Anet does not respond, it may very well be because these reports lack details which they have to figure out first. Also I can think of some more pressing bugs in the game which they are likely to fix sooner that this.

I tested with most of the bleeds on a Necromancer, all of them were broken.
I would conclude from that, that it is not specific skills that are affected but the actual stat itself. Haven’t tested lately though, is it still broken?

[BUG] Mesmer Duelist's Discipline=less damage

Posted by: Lipstick.3469

Lipstick.3469

I have also observed this. A rough 20% decrease in DPS from the Duelists summoned while you have the trait active. None of the other similar traits (Greatsword/1h-Sword) seems to be broken in the same manner, which is always a plus I guess.

Tested today, still broken.

Yeah, we aren’t the only ones who have already confirmed that this content is broken.

ANet has yet to reply to anyone? So many bugs in important game mechanics, you can’t really trust any gear you want. You have to test it extensively to be sure it’s actually any useful, meaning spending tons of gold on stuff that is complete kittene and having to wait 6 months until a patch concerning it is released.

Come on ANet, work less on new content and more on the content you already have. Broken game ain’t fun to play.

Either this sigil does not work, the tooltip is displaying wrong information or it doesn’t stack with traits that has the same effect.

5 second duration bleed upon crit was promised by the Sigil.

The trait that promised 66% chance of bleed upon crit as a necromancer is 1 second duration while the sigil doesnt proc at all.

It doesn’t work. Since your helm is replaced by the breather(?).

It does, however, work if you go to the surface of the water, but not below. And once it has activated at the surface, it doesn’t get deactivated when you go above the surface of the water. Effectively giving you 100 extra power above water, instead of under it.

As topic said, Giver’s Condition Duration doesn’t work. Tested it with Enfeebling Blood (10s Bleed Duration). I removed all my bleed increasing traits such as Hemophilia and gear. Got two Giver’s in Main Hand and Off-Hand (Scepter+Dagger).

Used Enfeebling Blood on random mob in Cursed Shore several times, no increase above 10seconds in the duration of the bleeds.

With all my gear and hemophilia (15% from Rune of the Krait and 20% from Hemophilia).

I calculated that the duration would be:
10*1,15*1,20 = 13,8 or
10*1,35 = 13,5
This seems to be working properly.

With 2x Giver’s these calculations would be one out of four:
10*1,10*1,10*1,15*1,20 = 16,698
10*1,55 = 16,5
10*1,10*1,15*1,20 = 15,18
10*1,55 = 15,5

I do not see an increase above 13 seconds in any of the cases.

Could we please get some information and possibly a fix on this?
