Guild Wars 2

i just tested out the scourge (more like, i was trying what i was most excited about, trait interaction with the sandshades) and i dont really know how to feel about the spec….

first: shroud enter skills get an incredible nerf when picking the scourge (all enter shroud traits proc on f5, which has an 20 cd instead of the usual 10 sec shroud cd) so rip my shroudbomber build :X
i was really suprised that they didnt affected the shades… but it kinda makes sense considering how much tinkering you can do with the shades on their own.

second, can we have a radius tell on the scourge profession skills? like the one we have on blood is power? i can see that being incredibly helpfull

also, the scourge movement skill sounds like a spraycan XD

hi there, i have a very big problem with the german “translation” of the scourge…

you basically named it “pestbringer” (yes, the german name is actually PESTBRINGER)

pestbringer means something like plague bearer, carrier of diseases and bringer of contagions

obviously this has NOTHING to do with the scourge, who is a manipulator of sand and lost souls… it really does not fit.

its really odd that you totally missnamed it, especially considering the other specs are actually pretty well translated

please rename :X

ps, maybe i just totally missed a point about the elite spec.., if so, feel free to correct my limited understanding of the scourge ;D

1st, my favourite trait “spiteful spirit” doesnt propperly trigger underwater…

like at all, it simply doesnt work, at least not with reaper shroud, didnt tested it with regular shroud yet.

2nd, and much more annoying:
when picking up the new ley line organs on sirens landing, all your minions instantly die and their respective skills revert to their cooldowns

incredibly annoying, or more like… dangerous

as a necro main i have a question to all ranger mains:
can you explain to me why i get 10 vuln on concussion shot when i use the shortbow grandmaster?
like, i even get the vuln when i headshot upfront and deadeye… so it cant be that its a bonus for “shooting from flanks or behind”….
it really weirds me out

and the vuln applied with concussion shot “dissapear” the moment i swap out “light on the feet”
which is odd since it only says it improves condis, and doesnt add new ones

well, so i started a new toon, in preparation for the new week ( you know, the weekly toonslaugther called keyfarm).
i was roaming around queensdale, not minding anything at all, you know, doin one heart here, escorting one event there, till i ended up at claypool.

“fine” i thought to myself, still level 4, “might as well help out the people here, i dont have anything better do to…”

HA; thats what i thought…. while suddenly a weird numbness overfell me, as if i was cursed… I couldnt pick up any of the sparring weapons!

you can be sure, that i was very shocked at my sudden disability to use my very hands…
oh well, the suffering of “Aev Trdgx Cjkigu” wont last long, that´s for sure

i cant be the only one who totally doesnt understand how condi self bleed is on a powerweapon

like that so does not make any freaking sense….does it?
yes, before you tell me "im an idiot for not knowing how to throw condis around…. " thats not what im saying here. (i actually run condi all the time lel)

dagger main was always a power weapon, and dagger off was condi. if i want to go condi reaper/necro, and throw conditions around like a madmann, i take dagger OFF, not main…
if i want(ed) to play a power shroud build, i take dagger in my main hand…

and now im constantly applying annoying self bleed because i use dagger 3? why? just because of flavour? i would love to see the reasoning behind that… cause i certainly cant wrap my head around this…. its like they now want you to use both daggers, without exception.
that might be a good thing…. (although dagger off hand was used pretty often anyways, if im not mistaken, and didnt really need more incentive to be taken, hell, necro has a whole skilltree for that sole reason) but i dont worry about condis if im sitting in my shroud anyways, no?

but maybe its really just because of flavour… maybe i can only blame my musclememory for hurting myself over and over now…

…. BUT how could they tell me its “flavour” WHEN THEY GOT RID OF THE SLICE SOUND ??

i am a necromancer, so reviving a necro seems okay for me

but i JUST got a free transfer from my server DRAKKAR LAKE to the server all my guildies play, “FIRE LAKE”

dont know why, but i wont question it
#:D

happy necromancing
