[Feedback]Path of Fire Elite Specialization Preview - August 18-20

I really liked the elite class soul beast, I managed to adapt the builds in a way that I had a lot of fun, but the damages for example of f1 and f2 of the wyverns when absolved is very weak if compared to other pets, What has discouraged me, also need to improve the attributes when absolving the pets, also the trait of the second column left me with no option of choice because I do not use protection, I do not use quickness or poison .. ..

In the most irenio is to be congratulated, I liked it very much and I intend to use soul beast, so I bought the POF expansion

The elite one wolf pack think it needs an improvement, because if it compares to strenght of the pack it becomes very weak, I tested it and saw that I only doubled the damage and did not receive anything else, while strenght of the pack delivered me fury, might , Stability and switness for 60s as well.

Some parts of the traits and stances could have something better to help both damage and sustain of soulbeast, but we’ll see what you guys are going to do there, I’m waiting to know what changes will have for the best we can play each with the elite class that Likes. Rather they could give some attribute to the pet of healing, expertise and concentration ..

It would also be nice if we could use the f2 of the pets even cast, but I think it would give more work to implement maybe …

Can arenanet also improve wyverns f1 and f2 when joining the ranger? Simply shameful that has less damage in these two skills f1 and f2 compared to other pets …

The power scaling on most of the pets’ beastmode F1 skills seem very low and I hope they adjust them. I disagree that Wing Buffet needs a damage buff though; it is a great CC. Electric Wyvern brings a ton off CC for Soulbeast.

Even if this is CC, the f2 canines also apply CC and do more damage as the f2 of the wyverns when fused with the ranger …. no, it can not get inferior compared to the canines, after all, I play only with wyverns and I will take disadvantage of that is why?

Because they are full of noobs, despite having experienced players who complain because of certain parts of the new elite specialization, but the same thing was with HOT complained about everything and in the end each continued playing, the only thing I complained was once of the Balancing against wyverns pets who were weak and when they re-buff so that no one could kill on 1vs1, now I just claim some Soul Beast stuff like f1 and f2 when fused with wyverns that are skills with weak damage …

Also of the traits of the middle of the soul beast class that is kind of useless for my style of build …. and also of the new elite of one wolf that I think weak also, and last of the states when merging with the pet, I have to complain.

The elite stance of the wolf had to be better ….. honestly this no longer give stability, nor fury or might …. as strengh of the pack and still only has 8s and does not take as much damage as I thought ….

I really agree with Holland, this part of the trait is completely useless to me, I do not use quickness, nor protection other than the eternal bond, and I do not use poison … and I end up being harmed having to choose the less worse it is second skin, Even if it does not suit me much

There is always a noob player that for solo play thinks that PVE should be easy enough to push all the buttons without dodging and killing all enemies without losing hp. ArenaNet should not even listen to these people and should keep the game as difficult as raids, since what holds a person to the game is exactly the challenges, whether PVP, WVW, PVE, DUNGEON, RAID, FRACTAL and those who claim it Are the types of players who want everything in their hands without fighting.

Another thing that plays of ranger, can use the form of druid and also the pets since the pets hots like the normal, then without that of which the mobs are strong in this new map, it arrives of nerf the mobs and boss to the ground, the That holds me in the game, one of the reasons is the difficulty.

For me it was another great patch since it made the pets better to be used, especially Wyverns in which are the pets that made me buy the expansion, now against the classes I face using my ranger core, warrior is not op, dragon hunter too Is not op, no class is op, stop crying, the only class that should have received a real big buff was revenant, the rest was a gift to have gained buff, so stop complaining and learn to play with the class.

I came here just to thank ArenaNet, now I saw that they ran a patch for ranger caring about the class, I also thank you for the improvement in pets, especially Wyverns which was the biggest reason I bought the expansion. I’m not being ironic, the only thing I really wanted was improvement on the pets and this was done despite the delay.

The class that needs the most buff is revenant, the only thing that should give buff was to return to cause damage in the chill, in the reaper does not need as much buff as they say, also buff pets ranger (less smokescale and bristlback).

It’s too late now. They won’t ever really improve the core issues at this stage. Some band-aid fixes slapped on is what we can hope for at most, but I doubt even that will happen.

Literally the best we can hope for is another 1-2 good pets in the next expansion that will then be nerfed down to barely passable after enough pleb tears flood the pvp forum.

Or we get the pretty cool but completely useless wyverns whose stats are so horrendous and attack animations so slow that they miss any moving target while also doing absolutely dreadful DPS.

Bearbow version? If you have not equipped with beastmaster die fast and bristlback and smokescale can be bearbow too, especially smokescale that can use f2 to blind enemies. I want Wyverns strong as Smokescale then

If you gave me a decent Wyverns, I’m already happy, even if it’s in the ranger patch, because that alone would make me happy too much because almost 80% of the wyverns’ attacks are deflected or they end up failing and the cooldown of f2 too Is too high compared to smokescale and bristlback.

Unfortunately many pvps players are lazy and want to win easy, so complain so much of the system, will always say that the game system is bad, will improve the system and again say that it is bad because they did not get to catch legendary, platinum or are In the best placements within the leaderboard.

What fills me with rage, is not enough for those players who complain about the system being the problems of not knowing how to play and are still afraid of facing a player for being ESL, I with my ranger core I face any ESL since I have Brazilian friends who Say they have already won in the 1 vs 1 against some.

So stop crying and learn to play.

good I will take a break of GW2 to you to decide what to do about the pets. All other classes now have a greater advantage when related to rangers.

Our pets should evolve as the mechanics of other classes improve

Stop complaining that this class is op, or the other is op and learn to play, dragonhunter is not impossible to kill, besides some here who comment should be pve players who come to play pvp and can not kill any class, I play core ranger and even the most difficult classes to kill for me that is berserk, scrapper and daredevil are not impossible to kill.

Druids to focus a high damage it can not heal enough even with CA.

Balancing for pve? This is joke? Pve is the easiest thing to play with any build, WvW and PvP balancing serves both to one as to the other.

The only thing you need is ArenaNet adjust each class, such as the rangers need now only improvement in pets and is good too.

The now how is game became more balanced than the other times.

If ArenaNet make my pet can hit moving targets, get to the pet cause the most damage even when used beastmaster give a decent stats for the pet, adjust the f2 to be real special, and make the attacks slots are efficient, I will not care.

Now if you can not do this, it leaves the way it is being able to swap pets because they do not want to lose my damage while other classes can cause greater damage than mine.

It is also good even this topic again, I bought the expansion because of pets Wyverns hoping to be more efficient in the attacks than they are now …. hope ArenaNet improve them … because the basic attacks and the second attack they are slow and weak and the third attack as f2 needs to be improved as well.

I’m not doing this, again.
Fool me once – shame on them. Fool me twice, shame on me.

I’ll wait if they improve the pets and ranger-pet synergy and then consider it. I’m definitely not falling for the very same wyvern fiasco again.

I hope ArenaNet improve more wyverns as bear, birds moa and others who need to have a better strike capability against both moving enemies as in its special in f2 …. also to the basic movements need to hit the target with more damage , as the pets do not eliminate the condition without signet renewal .. and yet the signet removes only one condition and pets die fast with the number of conditions that can be applied in the game. Already smokescale and Bristleback, canines, felines, ordinary birds do not need to improve much.

Pets as Wyverns also need better balance, most good pets for use are birds, felines, canines, drakes, and smokescale Bristleback ….. druids to me do not need nerf, and I ranger set and so I say, druids are not op.

From my experience the only playable pets in pvp are smoke scale, bristleback and spiders. Everything else either deals no damage or is always dead.
Wolf + birds used to be ‘good’ before hot, but due to all the power creep they just die from cleave damage within seconds.

accurate, as the survival of these pets are most vulnerable, so why people still think that ranger and druid are op? Our damage is shared with the pet damage, and unfortunately our pets are not all that are good as smokescale or Bristleback

Ranger at 3:30 using wyvern and spamming axe autos…trust me it’s not the class.

That being said, if you can load up condis on a ranger after he’s used CA, he’s dead unless he has the 60 s CD signet up.

Yes, I use wyverns and also spirits, and used ax and torch, the same person video already defeated his ranger or was his guardian, I believe that was his same druid.

The issue of video perdir for this ranger was because I tried to remove condition using only lightning reflexe and it was my fault to have changed the trait in which transferring conditions for the pet.

Without it, I would not have missed it for much less any other ranger or druid.

You can see in the video I am very accumulating condition by simply having placed to remove every 38 s using a single utility.

Im not trying to be rude here but from my understanding heart of thornes was meant for group content in the first place, the content needs to lasts for one, for two its meant to be an mmorpg, for three it was meant to be challenging/rewarding. we can solo enough content in this game as it is, I get people like the option so solo. But it sounds like some people here want a single player game.

No people want the option to play solo, all through the story and map content, i understand dungeons, fractals and raids are group content and i’m cool with group content being in open world but the map completions, the getting around for fun, most events should be complete-able solo as well as grouped…

So all types of customers can enjoy the content, if not then half the player base is doing things they don’t want to or worse actively avoiding it.

Sure i can’t complete shatterer solo, but i can save a town from harpies solo, in Hot i can’t even do that most times, i’m dead.

I can’t even kill a veteran mushroom solo without going downed state a few times then dying..

So you and the other little friends who can not kill a veteran is a shame, I say this because even discouraged seeing a guy here in this forum say that you can not kill a smokescale veteran and then talk that can kill, not knowing if you really can or not.

Please these PVE players who believe that HOT was hard, believe they are the same that will claim in PvP because they could not get the wing because it is difficult.

ArenaNet nor should hear these kinds of players who want to make this game something casual to harm the hardcore who likes to challenge.

I walked all the map again and I did not die once so easy that is.

Even the 3 champions of Verdant Brink almost done solo because it’s easy, but not just because soloing appeared 2 more to help and I dc at the end when it appears the legendary boss

These maps are increasingly empty because now those who have no skill can do this by pressing 1 and without help.

What class do you use in hot… And agreed a smokescale veteran can take 2/3rds of my health in a second and i barely kill it… I’ve died to a normal Smokescale..

My main issue is the insane frogs, i cannot kill them at all i died 10 times yesterday on the same two frogs, teleporting, un-hit able, instant kill cheap kitten… that’s not fun, that’s actually harassment when you are just trying to get past..

Seriously its just no longer fun to play anymore.

I play but ranger, have played a little warrior too, but not on the maps of Tyria, which class you play? How long has the game?

If you want one of these days can follow me and see how I can get along in the HOT maps, it is very rare to end up dying. My nick is Raplion with ranger.

ANET please nerf HoT

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Rap Tiger.1257

Rap Tiger.1257

The HoT maps are just following the same cycle that the Orr maps did when the base game was launched. The Orr maps were filled with events that required groups and cross-map co-ordination, were very thickly populated with difficult, aggressive mobs and did not play well for casual or solo players. Over time the difficulty in the three Orr maps was adjusted downwards several times but even now, nearly four years later, those maps still require co-ordinated group play to complete the event chains and can still be challenging for casual or solo adventurers.

Having played through both when they were new I would say the Original Orr maps were less accessible and very definitely less entertaining than the HoT ones were, even before the nerfs. The HoT maps as they are now are, I would say, no more difficult for a casual or solo player than Orr, but they are far more rewarding (both visually and because the loot is better).

One of the problems HoT has is that it becomes progressively easier and easier the more Masteries you attain but you have to play through it on its “hardest setting” to get those Masteries. Since getting Masteries is one of the key content drivers of the expansion that’s hard to change – you can hardly just give people the Masteries up front – but players who don’t have them will always perceive the content to be much harder than those who do.

As for there not being enough people on the maps to complete the events efficiently, that hasn’t been my experience. I play EU hours on NA servers so I never see the game in its full prime time and often I’m playing in the server cluster’s “off hours”. Even so I have never had any trouble in six months in finding active, populated instances of any of the four HoT maps. Many – probably most – of the Core Tyria maps are a lot less populated.

I understand, but yesterday playing the map HOT at least the first was empty, found either doing solo events, because now you can do it alone, Orr map played yesterday and also walk a little empty since you can play solo, I myself will prefer to play PVP or WVW only
