Good News!

Managed to get to stage 3 of the first raid boss on our first shot, with only 8 people… almost half of which were not set up to do the fight.

That’s impressive!

Also, the Guild Is now level 15, with a brand new battle arena! Had a blast killing everyone!

Morning folks!

Just updated our original recruitment post to read a bit easier and to clarify some aspects about us. As we grow, so does the concept of our awesome guild!

We now have an established raid roster, with 10 of the best people you can imagine. Focused, friendly, funny, and competent players! It’s like a dream come true

But don’t let that discourage you if you’re looking to find a raid home. Since we are casual, no one is required to be present every weekend. There’s always opportunities for interested members to snag a chance to take down the Vale Guardian!

Go First Flame!

Revenant sword 3 HAS to be changed.

This skill must have a skill compontent with it. Please let revenant be hit and CC’d while using it. Now its just facerolling to win and doing 1 million damage done in every arena. Revenant has no weaknesses. Can you imagine ranger hitting Rapid Fire and being invulnerable every time he hits it? There is no counterplay to this skill. There is also one flawed mechanic that it always strikes from the back so it gets the life steal from the trait resulting in it being an invulnerability heal highest damage skill in the game. Please do something about it. The invulnerability is dumb and unskillful/ not fun to play against. Let the revenant be damaged and controled during the duration of this skill – this will make setups valulable and it’s not like you can stunbreak it everytime when the skill has 8 seconds of cooldown.

…. I write up walls of text all the time… but this si the first time I have gotten hit with a brick of text in my face.

Good Lord… There is so much wrong with this, I don’t even know where to begin….

This skill must have a skill compontent with it.

There is a skill component to this… and quiet a big one I might add. When you use this is just as if not more so important then how much damage it does.

Please let revenant be hit and CC’d while using it.

Tried that already in the Betas, and it didn’t work out well, made using the skill effetely a death sentence.

Revenant has no weaknesses.

… This is an Automated Massage, Fourm Member Sarif.1827 has been rushed to the hospital after suffering a minor stoke from laughing so hard. This Automatic Message service would also like to ask how this is hepful feedback? It also has nothing to do with UA.

Can you imagine ranger hitting Rapid Fire and being invulnerable every time he hits it? There is no counterplay to this skill.

Signet… of…. Stone… Much? Also, there is counter play, you’re choosing to ignore it to make your post. You can set up amazing burst combos on Revenants if you time it right.

There is also one flawed mechanic that it always strikes from the back so it gets the life steal from the trait resulting in it being an invulnerability heal highest damage skill in the game.

That trait, Assassin’s Annihilation, has a 1 sec ICD, and also works from the sides. Also, where are your evidence to prove this skill is the strongest in the game?

…and it’s not like you can stunbreak it everytime when the skill has 8 seconds of cooldown.

12 Seconds, thank you and what does Stun Breaks has to do with anything?

Here is where I would start giving you advice, but the devil on my shoulder has told me this post was made in a fit of rage over getting beaten in PvP, thus, this is very slanted feedback at best, and downright pointless feedback at worst.

Learn to fight a Revenant, it’s not any harder than fighting a Thief or a Mesmer, and hell, it might be easier now with the nerfs.

Sarif's Revenant Nerf Feedback

in Revenant

Posted by: Sarif.1827

Sarif.1827

Hello again Fellow Mist Walkers… Didn’t even make it a week till Nerf Mallet came out.

Nerf Hammers are swinging, I’d like to go over some of the recent changes to Rev and just drop my 2 copper in the bucket.

Infused Light

Really? 4 seconds was too long? Really!? This is the start of my worries… I’m guessing this change happened to make it more “in-line” with other defense mechanics (like Blocks) but how does it compare to the only other skill like it, Defiant Stance.

Defiant Stance: 3 Sec, 100% Dmg Convert. 30 Sec CD.
Infuse Light: 3 Sec, 100% Dmg Convert. 30 Sec CD.

Now looking at this, it seems pretty balanced, if you forget most Warriors run Healing Signet for a reason.

If Roy and the Devs would like to change Facet of Light into a carbon copy of Healing Signet, I’d be ok with that.

I’d like to give a word of warning here… Guardian’s Virtue of Resolve healing was kneecapped (and Warrior’s Healing Signet boosted) because of some reasons dealing with Warrior EHP comparisons to Guardians. I’d really like to avoid a repeat of that with the Revenant.

I would also like to remind the public that Revenant heals are weaker on the whole, due to us having “access” to two of them at the cost of any positive energy gained during a fight. This Heal however, doesn’t scale off us, but our opponents, which is why this is the strongest heal we have. I’d actually like to see both skills bumped up to 4 secs, because honestly, I don’t see what’s wrong with 4.

This change also hurts PvE Rev hard, as the slow rate of attacks from Mobs tends to make a 3 second window equal 1, maybe 2 hits is your timing, lag, and other factors line up, where with 4, you can safely get two hits.

My Feedback for Phase Traversal is Here Careful, it’s a doozy.

Crystal Hibernation/Soothing Bastion

This is… alright I suppose… kicks a pebble into a pond, this brings our shield in-line with other Soldier professions. Yes, it sucks, but… I get it, I don’t like it, but I get it.

Surge of the Mist

Saw this coming a mile away. I really wished that they would have gone after the Power-scaling instead of the base damage, because the real reason Staff is considered a good weapon was the DPS this skill brings…

I know a lot of people would argue otherwise, and yes, the staff does offer alright supportive skills, but the CDs alone on the weapon makes it Meh.

Overall, we all kind of saw this coming, but it doesn’t make it hurt any less. More so, I’d really like to point out we haven’t even had a WEEK before the Nerf Hammer came out. Not. EVEN. A. WEEK!….

Sarif's Phase Traversal CD Feedback

in Revenant

Posted by: Sarif.1827

Sarif.1827

Greeting Fellow Mist-Walkers… I wanted to make all of my feedback on the Revenant Nerfs in the same post, but you will see that this particular one requires a bit more than a simple “This is why I dislike this and here is my supporting argument”.

I’d like to start off with a quote I found on the forums, Now, I don’t want to make this sound like I’m singling this guy out, I’m not but I think this is a good place to start from.

Inf Arrow is superior at fleeing. PT is superior in chasing, in a way so that Inf Arrow can’t even be used to flee.

A nerf was needed in some way.

I completely disagree, and here is why:

Infiltrator Arrow (IA): Cost 6 Inv, Travels 900/use
Phase Traversal (PA): Cost 20 Energy, Travels 1200/use

“But Sarif, you Rev Fanboi!! That’s not a fair comparison! They use two different resource structures!” … Not really. For anyone who wonders how this comparison works, the mechanical nature of Energy is exactly the same as the mechanical nature of Initiative.

You build up Energy till you pass a “threshold” and then you have access to a skill, these “thresholds” are Pips of Initiative, which roughly equal 5 Energy, you can tell because all of our utility skills are multiplies of 5. I would like to point out that our weapon skills do not follow this trend perfectly.

Using this information as a base, we can can claim that Revenants have a total of 10 Initiative, and can only hold 5 Initiative out-of-combat. Thieves on the other hand, Base have 12 (20% more) and can regen all of them out-of-combat, and can raise this limit to 15 (50% more) plus have the ability to trait to earn back this resource in combat in chucks (2 for using steal and 3 for swapping weapons) addition to gaining 1/sec.

For Thieves, if we converted them to Energy would have 120 Energy, Up to 150 out-of-combat. Using their class Mechanic regens 10 Energy, and Weapon Swap generates 15 Energy.

So.. How does this comparison look like on these skills?
Infiltrator Arrow (IA): Cost 6 Inv (or 30 Energy), Travels 900/use
Phase Traversal (PA): Cost 20 Energy (or 4 Inv), Travels 1200/use

”Well, that looks like the Revenant is beating out the Theif!”… and you’d be right, magikittentle voice in my head the represents the forum-going community. I however, would like to stress two things. One, The Revenant does not have the ability to fine tune their Utility selection, and two, Shiro is supposed to be our “mobility” option.

“Alright, fine, Energy and initiative are roughly the same, but that still doesn’t prove this nerf wasn’t needed!” … True, so let’s move on to an example shall we?

Say you have a Revenant and a Thief racing across Gendarran Fields, and for the sake of argument, let’s say everything along their path is perfectly copied for each, and they don’t interfere with each other at all and that they are traveling only using these two skills (and have the ability to use them to their full range.)

Thief travels at 900/6in (starting at 15), and the Revenant travels at 1200/20 Energy (starting at 50), both at their base regen rates. It looks like this:

0 Sec: Thief: 900 (9Inv), Rev: 1200 (30En)
1 Sec: Thief: 1800(4Inv), Rev: 2400 (15En)
2 Sec: Thief: 1800(5Inv), Rev: 3600 (0En)
3 Sec: Thief: 2100(0Inv), Rev: 3600 (5En)
4 Sec: Thief: 2100(1Inv), Rev: 3600 (10En)
5 Sec: Thief: 2100(2Inv), Rev: 3600 (15En)
6 Sec: Thief: 2100(3Inv), Rev: 4800 (0En)
7 Sec: Thief: 2100(4Inv), Rev: 4800 (5En)
8 Sec: Thief: 2100(5Inv), Rev: 4800 (10En)
9 Sec: Thief: 2800(0Inv), Rev: 4800 (15En)
10 Sec: Thief: 2800. Revenant: 6000(0En)

Now, that seems pretty kitten impressive eh? Almost double what a Thief can do. From this, I can kind of see why this needed to be toned down, however, slapping a 5 second CD on this was not the right answer. Now let’s see that same race, this time, with this nerf in place:

0 Sec: Thief: 900 (9Inv), Rev: 1200 (30En)
1 Sec: Thief: 1800(4Inv), Rev: 1200 (15En, 4sec CD)
2 Sec: Thief: 1800(5Inv), Rev: 1200 (20En, 3sec CD)
3 Sec: Thief: 2100(0Inv), Rev: 1200 (25En, 2sec CD)
4 Sec: Thief: 2100(1Inv), Rev: 1200 (30En, 1sec CD)
5 Sec: Thief: 2100(2Inv), Rev: 2400 (15En, 5sec CD)
6 Sec: Thief: 2100(3Inv), Rev: 2400 (20En, 4sec CD)
7 Sec: Thief: 2100(4Inv), Rev: 2400 (25En, 3sec CD)
8 Sec: Thief: 2100(5Inv), Rev: 2400 (30En, 2sec CD)
9 Sec: Thief: 2800(0Inv), Rev: 2400 (35En, 1sec CD)
10 Sec: Thief: 2800. Revenant: 3600(20En, 5sec CD)

Alright, that seems a little less insane right? I did however, this is only really showing off one aspect of these two skills, Distance. There is another aspect of these skills I’d really like to point out here and that is Uses/Sec.

You see in my first example, the Revenant gets 5 uses of PT, and the Thief gets 4. This means where ever the thief goes, the Revenant can follow. In the second test however, the Revenant barely squeaks out 3 uses to the Thief’s 4. While the total “available” distance is still greater for the Revenant, let’s put this in context of say… a Fight.

The Thief can reposition more than Revenant can, and can choose where to reposition to include locations inaccessible to the Revenant’s PT. More so, 900 is a huge range to cover for anyone in this game, and while all classes have access to range weapons, not all range weapons are created equal, as any Guardian or Engineer can tell you.

This “Extra Use” is a big part why Thieves tend to be able to get away from anyone, anywhere. It was nice that they finally added in a skill capable of punishing Thieves for disengaging and running away. Hell, it was nice being that Class.

“Alright… Fine, you made your point, I still don’t agree with it! I still think you’re a dirty Fanboi!”… Well… You’d be right, I am a dirty Rev fanboi, but I love to see some bloody counter play come in that take these professions from their comfy places of complete dominance and shakes it up a bit.

What I would love is to see this CD removed but I’d deal with something a little saner like a 3sec CD. At a 3sec CD, Both Skills can be used at 4 times in 10 secs and here is my proof:

0 Sec: Thief: 900 (9Inv), Rev: 1200 (30En)
1 Sec: Thief: 1800(4Inv), Rev: 1200 (35En, 4sec CD)
2 Sec: Thief: 1800(5Inv), Rev: 1200 (40En, 3sec CD)
3 Sec: Thief: 2100(0Inv), Rev: 2400 (25En, 2sec CD)
4 Sec: Thief: 2100(1Inv), Rev: 2400 (30En, 1sec CD)
5 Sec: Thief: 2100(2Inv), Rev: 2400 (35En, 5sec CD)
6 Sec: Thief: 2100(3Inv), Rev: 3600 (20En, 4sec CD)
7 Sec: Thief: 2100(4Inv), Rev: 3600 (25En, 3sec CD)
8 Sec: Thief: 2100(5Inv), Rev: 3600 (30En, 2sec CD)
9 Sec: Thief: 2800(0Inv), Rev: 4800 (15En, 1sec CD)
10 Sec: Thief: 2800. Revenant: 4800(20En, 5sec CD)

4 Uses Each! Tada! Balance!

Thanks for taking the time to read all this guys, I know it’s a lot, and Lord knows I worked on it a lot. I really hope we reconsider this ridiculous CD, and get some more positive changes…

Also, whatever happened to giving people time to “L2P” both playing as and against the Rev? These Nerfs seem unfair, more so when skills like Gun Flame haven’t been touched…

How is Revenant in various game modes?

in Revenant

Posted by: Sarif.1827

Sarif.1827

1. Open World – Can Revenant keep Swiftness well? How is mob-tagging capabilities? For example I dislike playing Mesmer in Open World because mobs die too fast for my clones to be effective. Tagging is sometimes a problem as well, not to mention the lack of Swiftness.

Revenant Moblility is in two parts. First, you have Access to Shiro’s Phase Traversal which is an Shadowstep with 1200 range. Use this, target something far off in the distance, and push button till you arrive.

Second, you have Glint’s Facet of Elements, which is basically, Perma-Swiftness at the cost of -1e/sec, Energy per second.

The Revenant also doesn’t currently have any AI in it’s tool kit, so no clones, Turrets or spirits, and there is this thread, which is talking over good way to tag.

2. WvW (Roaming) – Solo or duo, how is Revenant’s ability to roam compared to Ele/Thief/Mesmer?

I don’t PvP, but there are many Videos showing off skilled players fighting in WvW. Just make sure to take everything into consideration before judging how “over-powered” the Revenant is.

3. WvW (Zerg) – Other than support bot, can you be useful in a zerg? ie backline/frontline DPS

As above, but I would think so… Anyone with more first hand experience care to chime in?

4. sPvP – I think this one leaves a lot to own’s ability to enjoy the class. I try to enjoy every class in this mode since the narrow scope of sPvP allows you to tune each profession reasonably well.

Again, as Above, So Below. I’m not the best to ask or comment on PvP gameplay.

Daredevil - hero points/elite spec thoughts

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Sarif.1827

Sarif.1827

I just read the thread on the amount of hero points required to fully unlock the elite spec line and my first thought was this:

The unique dodges are what made the daredevil feel like a cool elite spec when I played it during the BWE. I assume that is how it is supposed to feel. However that means thief players will have to gather many more hero points in the HoT maps before accessing what makes daredevil feel like daredevil. Meanwhile all the other classes get this satisfaction right when they have enough hero points for the minor trait.

Don’t get me wrong, I think the extra dodge is great but it would feel better to have the unique dodges right when all other classes get their unique mechanic and the extra endurance later down the trait line.

Thoughts?

(kitten Mode): clears throat.. … …. WRONG. Thank you. I’ll take my Emmy now.

(/kittenmode): While yes, the Dodges are nice, and a huge boon to Daredevil, I do not think that is the only thing that made the Spec. Also the addition of an Extra 50 Endurance… The other Professions would literally kill your DD for that.

Think of it as a reward for sticking with it and mastering the Spec. Honey is better when you earn it…..

….Or when your really kittening hungry…. and I mean like… it’s been two weeks since you have eaten and you really hate honey… even then, it taste like godliness.

Jeez, gamers are so weird

Lol I’d say this about sums it up, but really, it doesn’t even come close. Weird is a strong understatement.

Irrational is the word I think we are all looking for.

But then again, this only serves as proof as to why we can’t have World Peace or proper focus on space travel, or new technologies…

…. But how will we know what is and isn’t a bug?

What if you designed something be be rewarding for once!?

MY MIND CAN NOT HANDLE THIS!!!!!~

On a serious note… knowing what a bug is in this game requires an understand of the general feeling of the game, something that free-to-play players may or may not have given how astute they are.

I on the other hand… keep loot pinatas a quiet secret…. shhhh…. ssshhhhhhh…..

Light Armor user Disadvantaged in Raids?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Sarif.1827

Sarif.1827

Everyone know how Expensive is make an Ascended Light Armor.
2-3 times more expensive than make a Medium Ascended Armor.

Yep, Silk and Gloss are a kitten to get. Supposedly, Map Rewards will help with that.

But ANet already annunced time ago that to make Raids of high level every player NEED a FULL ASCENDED ARMOR.

You’re almost right… The Raid Lead Dev did actually say you will need Ascended Gear, but then later recanted and say if you got the skill, you can pull it off with Exos, but the content is scaled for Ascended Gear.

Then, a Medium User will make at a good price. A Heavy user will craft it at a higher price and a Light user will be Mad to craft an Ascended Light Armor why it’s so expensive that a lot of players don’t even try to make one and hope to drop chests of ascended armor to make they’re set.

Speaking as someone that crafted his entire Set of armor with no assistance from the trade post, I can tell you, Yes, it is a timely process, but it is in no shape way or forum insanity-inducing. It’s just a Mat Grind, and one that is worth it in the long run.

Now, RNG’ing a precursor out of the Forge… THAT is insanity.

Can ANet make something about that?

Yes they can, the real question is “Will they?”… and the answer to that is HERE.

A easy way is Reduce to 50 the amount of Bold of Silk a crafter need to make a Wool of Silk, instead of the actual 100 (that is 300 scrap of Silk, more thana entire stack of Silk!!!). Please, do something.

I agree with you on this, I never understood why Tailors had to go through so much more mats then the other two weight-classes, but they have already stated they are not going to be changing this at all sadly.

Depends on a lot of factors.. if you know your about to do a lot of boon stacking, I’d say use it then, and then blow it to give yourself some boonage.

Or use it when you not rolling glint to give your self some boonage.

Boonage… heh… I just like saying it.

Sorry about the click bait title (at least I think it is…) but I just wanted to say thanks for giving me something to do this week to make it pass by faster.

It has been my privilege chatting with you all… though flames and arguments, tears and doom-sayers, providing feedback on everything from all different angles.

It has been fun writing this monster, seeing all the great and not so great ideas on everything, drinking in all the QQ from other forum-go’ers and looking forward to Hots.

However, it is with a heavy heart I regret to inform you all, I will be leaving the forums.

Mostly because I’ll be too kitten busy playing my Revenant! ;D

Keep it Logical, Keep it Civil, and Keep it Frosty Peeps!

~Yours in the Mist,
Sarif Arkfall, Ex-guardian.

PS: Mostly because I can, and there is no real point to this thread, other then to say thanks… I got the Fractal Hammer skin two night ago… RNGesus is telling me something…

Herald day one?

in Revenant

Posted by: Sarif.1827

Sarif.1827

You can’t unlock Glint, unless you have unlocked ALL of the core specs/traits/skills.

EDIT

Unlocking your elite spec is a training line in your training panel that costs hero points. You do need to have trained all the existing training lines before you’re allowed to put hero points into your elite spec.

That is so extremely lame. I personally do not like revenant very much but loved herald. So I’m basically stuck doing an insane grind with a class I don’t like, being forced to do content on a character I don’t like, then unlock I character I do like but can’t redo hero points with a class I want to do it on

It’s not insane, just more involved then others. Think of this as time to learn how to play with other legends then Glint.
