I never liked Bolt. It doesnt even look like a sword. Just a tangled mess of metal.
Im working on the shining blade. It is a bit more subtle but it is a very beautiful blade + when you swing it it leave a trail of blue flames+ you get a blue infusion running through the arm the weapon is equiped in. A lot of the older legendaries are losing their edge. Only a handfull really have the legendary feel to them like the greatswords, the bifrost and to some degree the dreamer for its unique missile animations.
Blue flames? Blue infusion? On shining blade? Whats you’ve been smoking?
Do you see the blue aura reaching up to the shoulder when the weapon is drawn? Also notice the trail it leaves behind when swinging? Just because i probably offended your sword of choice doesnt mean im high
also another video with more detail
Thats purple
Doesnt negate anything else is said
It requires 250 mystic coins and 77 mystic clovers so it is really not worth it. Mostly because while it gives you an aura it is not a skins so you cant equip the aurora to anyone besides the character wearing it. As someone who plays 4 classes i’d rather make a legendary weapon which requires almost the same effort and it can be given as a skin for everyone who can equip that type of weapon

I have been playing power warrior with greatsword for over 3 years now but lately whenever i go to fractals i get people complaining why i am playing greatsword warrior and not condition. A few weeks ago people where still asking for PS warriors but requests become more and more specific like looking for cPS meaning ps warrior but with condition build, Some people would actually leave the group because i was not playing condition warrior and of course gw2 style a chain reaction occured where even more people would for some reason leave the group although they had no prblem with the build. Anyway i am far too invested now to start getting new gear to change builds and get 150AR all over again for a build i would only use in group content. I have started playing druid as of late because everyone just asks for condition warriors in fractals and i dont want the hustle of people trashtalking and leaving. Did they nerf the power build or did people find new “meta” where they can maximize dps by 1% with condi warrior?
Sadly there is nothing to be done officially. They cant go and slap all those elitists i nthe wrist and tell them to play nice. We reached a point where everything is so exclusive people ask for Legendary Insights, a simple item meant to create legendary armor and turn it into kill proof and raid experience. Things are only gonna go more downhill from here.
IMO the Druid is the only class that will always be essential for hard content. Out of all the classes it is the most unique one. It is the only dedicated healer class with a lot of cleansing and utility and the astral form for even more healing. Every elite specialization until now is still damage oriented while the Druid took the typical mmo healer role. I just finished my Druid and i have tons of fun with him in fractals
I gotta applaud anyone who can figure out the mechanics in the clusterkitten that is fractal 100. The first fellow’s alright, but the second boss just has way too much going on at once.
Even on normal mode, she’s actually a fair bit harder than many raid encounters.
Viirastra has 2 core mechanics:
1. Stand in the bubble when you have the skull
2. Bounce the marble on your head (only 1 person needed, backup helpful)If you do these two mechanics correctly, the rest of the fight is pretty easy. Failing these two mechanics quickly snowballs the fight to failure.
There are also two minor mechanics:
1. Don’t stand in the AoEs (You can jump over many of them)
2. Kill the big clones, then drag the little ones to the boss.Doing these two mechanics reduces the damage pressure to almost nothing.
Theres a bit more to the fight, but this is the core that will allow you to succeed in non CM.
If you are failing the marble, try lower tiers. The marble pattern is significantly easier. Also note that when the marble bounces on your head, it refreshes your SAS. Your SAS is OP and you should use it to move around.
Edit: If your group is learning, try having everyone do the marble at once. There is no time pressure on non CM, and doing the marble gives you lots of aegis and invulnerability so you can stay alive.
Dont forget the dozens of adds that spawn and make your life a living hell while trying to avoid aoe attacks and balance the ball. A problem with a lot of recent content imo is the obsession of adding as much aoe damaging circles and bullethell style mechanics. Take the nightmare fractal for example of bulethell. Every 33% of the final boss p drop you have to stand in a circle while tons of damage balls hit you and also aoe circles that damage spawn and the boss throws out a knockback ring. These action need a lot of precision but since this is an online game latency, lag and other issues will cause the mechanics to feel very badly optimized. A lot of times while it seems that i avoid the balls i still take damage because hitbox detection is off. Also the slightly reworked aetherblade fractal while i agree it needed a fix to prevent the stacking at the corner to avoid the aoe attacks it turned into another of your patented generic “dodge as much aoe as possible”.
Iirc the reason for the tone down of effects, was so you could actually see what was going on in sPvP back when they still tried to make it esport.
Think it was the one and only time I really cared about the whole esport thing, since I loved that change.
An option for it would be fantastic (as with all the else)
They could have made sPvP extremely competitive, but for whatever reason they abandoned that endeavor. From what I understand the pro players and sponsors saw what a joke the balance and design team was and dropped support for the game, but you’d think that would push ArenaNet to address those issues and design flaws, but instead they just abandoned it.
We haven’t seen any significant changes to sPvP in 2 years, matchmaking is kittened at the moment, there are ridiculous ‘cheese’ builds that haven’t been addressed, multiple professions still have terrible trait synergy and build diversity, the list goes on and on…
ArenaNet please.
This game was clearly not made for pvp. Mechanics like dodging and having such a huge variety of skills makes the game completely unbalanced. PvP is a clusterkitten of aoe effects,condition damage and crowd control. PvP needs a huge rework to be taken serious. First of all rebalancing of utility skills. It is a good thing to have variety but with classes having tons of CC and invincibility skills it gets a bit ridiculous and unbalanced
It is kinda a nessecary evil you could say. Since this game has no subscription fee(subsrciptions in 2k17 LUL) they rely on selling cosmetic items and game sales. Without it they wouldnt be able to maintain the game. I personally dont mind the different gliders. People like them and they bring in the cash for the game together with outfits and weapon/armor skins. And if you think this is bad wait for mounts to come out . OOOOOOO BOOOIII
Yes we really need more titles so people will demand them for joining groups. as if this problem isnt big enough already
Where do people base the “t4 fractals are raid stepping stones” BS anyway? Fractal are fractals, they are supposed to be quick mini dungeons. This new fractal is anything but it. 3 bosses+ after every boss a gimmicky mini fight or mechanic to unlock progress . I think arenanet is trying too hard to cater to the “hardcore” playerbase. Im all about a bit of challenge but this is ridiculous. It also doesnt help that people start demanding “meta builds” and killproofs and titles and AP points all over again because of the difficulty curve of the new fractal and people being bad at the game. I had this ele who was the party leader, he asked for meta build, food + pots 15k AP title exp dps meter check or kick and guess what? He died within less of a minute 4 times in a row. THe boss would go to 97% and his portrait was already grayed out. These new fractals cultivate the elitism mentality, make people toxic and are not rewarding (gee non rewarding content in guild wars 2). At this point i gave up on doing shattered observatory whenever it is up as a tier or recommended frac because i spend way too much time on it and gain nothing
Maybe make it so that it somehow becomes account bound.
And dont forget condi warrior. I main a GS power warrior since i started the game 3+ years ago. I went into a CM nightmare fractal run and a guy kept complaining why we have a power Warrior in the team and complained about the dps, not seeing how his elementalist couldnt even kill his trash mob in time for the Unclean to not launch his channeling move. Another one complained for my lack of dps (horay for dps meters and toxicity) because we where on t4 underground facility with toxic trail and ice elemental boss fight. Of course i cant max out my dps when 6 toxic trail mobs+ boss are chasing me. People nowadays think condi is the cure to everything. If anything condi is most situations is always worse than power because you have to maintain the stacks to deal the damage
I hope the new expansion adds a lot of new armor sets. Not the ones you have to grind for like auric weapons,bladed armor etc, normal armor that drops from enemies in masterwork and rare quality with new skins
DPS meters is the epitomy of mmo elitism. I could understand MAYBE if organised raid groups would use one to weed out freeloaders who try to sneak in with masterwork and rare gear(yes i have seen those when i used to raid) but a lot of people are using them in fractals and even advertise they have them and will kick you if you dont perform well. Here let me say where dps meters can go wrong. A lot of times when i am fighting a boss as a warrior in melee range i happen to get hit and when i am low on hp and my healing skill in on cd i tend to use longbow and stay in a safe distance for my healing to come back,otherwise i run the risk of dying and being dead is way more useless than losing some dps because i use a secondary weapon to stay alive. Sometimes dps drops because you have to retread or you get downed because of some unfortunate event. These people probably go off on the idea of having a high number because it boosts their kitten. My cousin was in such a group today and saw 2 people getting harassed by the leader because of dps. THey got fed up and 3/5 flamed him and left the group because he was an obnoxious kitten. Fractals arent even THAT hard even on t4 if you dont do the “challenging content” challenge modes of nightmare and shattered observatory fractals. This really puts me off and while i enjoy fractals if this trend gets out of hand i will consider stop doing them,which is the main thing i do in gw besides going to get stomped by gandara in WvW.
Also i would really like to hear an official response to these third party programs used to see private dmg information of other players and kick them because of that. I personally see this as a kind of hacking on behalf of my account

Nothing can be worse than hots. Overly complicated maps, overpowered mobs,a constant hustle to rush from event to event and getting frustrated when it is on a different floor and you dont know how to get there,to few maps and meta events based on map wide teamwork. All these maps are gonna die and people wont be able to get tier 5 in verdant brink anymore to have a chance at bladed armor chest piece. Also all map besides auric basin where boring
Im waiting on the announcement where to beta test the new content you will have to grind silverwastes for a VERY RARE item that gives you access t….oh wait
Why did you have to remind me of queen’s gauntlent >.< i was a newb when the event was on and i never managed to defeat the last boss for the blazing light title :’(. If i could get a rematch ever again that would be great
Really it is that expensive? Wow there goes my motivation. I will probably finish my meta achievement for the map today and abandon the game until the expansion. Im not a fan of huge gold sinks in a game where gold isnt even that easy to come by so you can sink it.Good thing i havent started collecting the rocks in ember bay for the sentient anomaly which was part of the trinket collection i hate collecting things throughout jumping puzzles and obscure hard to reach places
Hasnt it been long enough that we get at least some info on the next story part? SAB is a big disappointment first time i played it last year was fun,now it is a drag and it doesnt help that i lost all my weapons and tools and level progression.I can barely log in to do dailies i even skip them somedays because i dont even feel loging in for 10 minutes to do them. Lake doric is out for a while now are there any future updates on the matter?
I have already done some bosses im not saying i dont get in at all but asking eternal title and 40+ LI is kinda stupid.
It always amazes me how they can turn anything positive Anet tries to give us into an elitist requirement to join the instance in a group. First was the unreasonable “Eternal” title achievement over which you have almost no control and requires personal skill only on your behalf, it is a gamble if any of the other 9 will stay alive or die. As someone who played WoW for a few months and saw how peoploe wanted you to link the achievement that you beat the final boss of the raid i guess it makes a bit more sense. But having to rely on 9 people not dying is stupid. Now the new trend is LI (Legndary Insight). Poor Anet made this currency for the creation of the legendary armor yet people amazingly managed to abuse it once more and turn it as proof you have killed bosses several time. It really makes me cringe how raiding made people so bitter. Same thing was going on with dungeons in the earlier days and the 5k+ achievement point requirement.
Imagine if the portal to Dragon’s Stand would only appear if the TD meta succeeded. I mean it says they are trying to open kitten to get inside Dragon’s Stand. Now imagine if that was true about 90% of the gw population would have never set foot on Dragon’s stand by now :P.
edit: lol since when is the word 1 hole a curse word and transforms into a kitten XD 1 stands for the letter “a” btw
But seriously the only reason this map has the “hardest” boss is because it has a much higher failure rate. Around x4 more just because it is divided into 4 events that have to be completed all. From my experience it fails either because
1)Nuhoch doesnt stomp enough to make the Chak emerge
2)Nuhoch does a great job and kills Gerent, SCAR loses with 1% hp when all other lanes got the kill
A few minutes ago i was instructing SCAR lane and we got the Gerent down to 55% on the first phase. But Nuhoch failed to make the Gerent come out so we lost. So whenever SCAR does good Nuhoch fails and whenever SCAR fails for 1% Nuhoch succees. The other 2 lanes are a joke
Not surprising at all. It is only 4 maps, most people are on map 1 because: farming for bladed armor or new to the expansion. So the reason for this map is new skins which i think is ok and gives you motivation to stay.
2nd map wants you to repeat the meta event 100 times for a title and i doubt anyone besides hardcore players who want the title will do it because lets be honest there is no point in doing it 100 times…maybe if there where better rewards than opening chests with the traditional trash items in them and some materials. I did it 4 times and got bored already.
3rd map is infamous for being annoying with many dead-ends and confusing layout and map guidance, the meta event happens every 2 hours and you only see it crowded with revenants 40 minutes before the event so they can organise to get their mistward headwrap.
4th map doesnt even let you explore and is pressuring you under time to complete the events. You cant really say it is a map to free roam and outside the few full and organised ones it is pretty dead with all contested waypoints and places innaccessible if you dont beat the boss. Then you got 15 minutes to explore (yay)
In their obsession with the “everybody must help and work together to get the job done” you must always rely on others for success. Not really a bad thing but when all 4 maps require you to do the same thing over and over and over without an
Is there a pattern to win lose in pvp? like 1 win 10 losses or something? Since yesterday i try to win just 1 game but my team has always people who only score 20 points the whole game while the enemy team has over 200 points on at least 2 people. I get people who just go solo and suicide on a full man team and ignore objectives like 25 points on the forest map and throw the games while the enemy always flies in like superman whenever they smell a downed and rek anyone near their fallen ally. Does matchmaking punish you for winning? How much more must i lose to be able to play with an enemy team as bad as mine?
I did it about 10 days back with a random lfg group. It wasnt that hard for us. We did wipe 3 times on Eir but then we started zerging her pet down so fast she didnt have time to do her map covering fire field arrow attack because she had to run to her pet to rez it. We kept killing the pet, she would stop attacking to rez, we broke the bar and attacked and repeated. Canach took us only 2 tries and we killed the final boss on the first time. The team was very competent and we had a lot of helpfull classes

It is not the dungeon elitists (5k+ ap metazerk ele,guard,warr only be exp or kick gearcheck blablabla)
It is not the pvp’er who either call you cheap and useless and stuff like that either in whisper or map chat
The crown goes to drumrolls…… THE CANDY CORN ELEMENTAL FARMERS IN BLOODTIDE COAST.
Here is the story: I was doing the renowned heart on a small island in bloodtide coast that requires to kill ambient ravens and rats. When i got there i saw a lot of people grouped together running around. I didnt pay attention since i wanted o do the task. When i started killing ravens a lot of people kept whispering that i am stupid, i should stop killing the ravens and gtfo etc. But things turned really ugly when i killed the candy elementals in 1 hit by accident. I was by a swarm of ravens and the second i swung the sword they turned to candy elementals and i killed them instantly. I felt the hate inside my blood as people started hating, flaming and calling me out like i was doing something illegal( the irony). So i went there with an alt to get the waypoint and saw a group again bitting eachothers heads off, flaming eachother and going crazy in general. There was also a a two man low level group killing ravens, probably to do the task. I cant imagine how much hate he would have gotten from whispers.
The point is, since Anet doesnt seem to like farming like this (RIP queensdale train) they should do something about it since new people who go there will probably get verbaly abused by the people there. It is like Queensdale all over again where people where flaming if a champ died earlier before everyone got there.
It has a long casting animation and like already said it is easily avoidable and goes on a big cooldown. Also it is not a “daze” because if dazed you cant attack. As a Moa you still have skills and attacks. i oce got beaten by a Moa since i was low health and i even beat someone as Moa.
I cringe when i see another generic white colored Charr. In a few months the whole Charr population is going to be albino.
I cringe even more seeing other players have generic names for their characters like :Sarah Deathborn and Mia Shadowslayer (these are just generic names icame up with just now but if any of you have these names shame on your uncreativity.
When i see large Warrior or Guardian Norns with long white hair and beard i try really hard to not whisper them that they are unoriginal and generic.
I join 5k+ ap only lfg although i am still in 4.7k and tell them: lol how about 100k next time?
When i have spare time i go to people selling living season achievements and tell the people he gathered i will do it for free. The sellers rage at me i make fun of them and block them so they cant talk back and boil in their anger.
I always tip people who invite me in their homes for gathering nodes because i feel cheap not doing so after they write “donations are welcome”
My female light armor wearer is fully dressed and not using a bra and miniskirt skin.
When i am on a map where there is daily event completioner and people keep spamming “events?” “any events” i link them random waypoints
This “practice” mode should be a mode of its own with 0 rewards and points since it is supposed to be practice. They should make a quickmatch option where you jump in but also have to face consequences when leaving. I shouldnt have to pay because people get salty and ragequit to not get killed by finishers
I entered a practice match for my dailies, the team i joined from the very beggining started winning and guess what? The enemy scrubs start ragequiting and the volunteer icon pops up. i Dont want to go so i dont press volunteer since i guessed the one that joined last will have to go but guess what? Surprise i find myself on the scrub team 3vs5. Forcing people to go to the baddie team because they cant handle it is really bad. No wonder pvp is trash in this game
