Elite Specializations - were a terrible idea

SimenAaserud.3598

I think the grind for the new trait line etc etc is fine, but the most stupid thing about elite specs is that the you HAVE to use the Elite trait in order to equip the new weapon. My god on so many classes I want to use other trait lines but use the weapon.. Oh and only having one trait line in the future is dumb as well. Anet have to make the new elite specs more powerful in order for people to buy the expansion, leaving zero to none people using the first elite spec or weapon lmao. They need to change something in that department IMO.

Steal 2 boons when attacking from stealth, enemies with no boons deals 10% less dmg.

Hellooo everyone! :-)

I’m here for one weird suggestion and a high demanded request.

Starting off with the weird one, how cool would it be if Anet made a slider ( character creation ) for the charr’s neck. Customization for charr is hard because of the neck.. right?
Well, for some. My brilliant idea here my friends, is if we had a slider, which we could use to adjust the charr’s neck stand more up, like a human. If you know what I mean? I dont know if this would affect the whole charr stance, but its a suggestion. Tell me what you think

And for the request Anet, CAPES, CAPES & CAPES. This would give you so many bucks. hehe. Guild capes, plain capes, striped, glowy, flamy.. U know. This would make so many characters look awesome! You guys made wings possible, but I guess the problem relies on the clipping part, over all the trench coats? But please, make some. XOXO.

Staff in WvW

in Thief

Posted by: SimenAaserud.3598

SimenAaserud.3598

Okey.. So, i’ve been trying to play staff thief for a month now (Along with watching others). AA is strong and powerful, so is Vault. Here lies the problem, u cant AA for long with thief as we are so squishy. And spamming vault gets us nowhere either. It is too clunky.. Staff needs more defensive options. Sure, we have the blind on skill 4, and a so called evade on skill 3. But its so easy for other classes to outplay these skills.

What I suggest is that u rethink / recreate skill 2-3-4. Skill 3 could have an evade as withdraw (the heal). And ooor, make one of the skills that makes us go stealth. Just.. something! I wanna play staff thief so bad in WvW, but its just too clunky to use alone.

Oh, and buff Cloak and Dagger.

So I might be a few days late on this due to exams, but I had to take some time to come in here and read the comments on the BL skins.
I just wanted to say really good work on the Timekeeper skins! Beautiful graphics.
As long as you have the time to update BL skins every 2 week, please do so.
Continue with this quality. Thank you to the designers and Anet.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone :-)

SimenAaserud.3598

I thought that by adding so many options for melee staff in the expansion, they would add an appropriate staff for a melee combatant. But the new staff looks great for “casters” just like Bifrost. I like the looks of it, and it will look more appropriate than Bifrost on many characters and builds but I’m still disappointed in it being a pure caster-like weapon.

Same opinion here! was really hoping for a melee type staff

No, Revenant is not easy mode for PvE.

I have to agree with xarallei.4279 here. The heralds/Glints heal is good and not OP. If people don’t hit or forfeit when it’s activated, then there is literally no heal from it. You simply just have to learn the revenants skills. I fought a lot of duels in Obsidian Sanctum and clever players went away when I used my heal, and some players used their best attacks, aka good for me. As I was playing glint/shiro, and my glint heal didn’t get trough. I was as good as dead. L2PB4-whining

Good, now Roy, Where is my energy?

SimenAaserud.3598

To be honest, I really think the energy is at its place. For berserker builds.. yes you are squishy. But now with Glint, things will change. That heal and block was really good.
And yea, I can agree on the statement that revenant needed more survival, but hey. Now “we” got a “oh kitten button”. Energy is fine, really. Im talking WvW solo roaming now, not PvE. PvP got a little harder because everyone was ganking revenants..
Everyone dies under gank I guess.

Personal housing like in Lord Of The Rings Online could be cool. You pay x amount of gold for rental, and you can customize it – same as in Wildstar. But would be cool with a instanced neighborhood where everybody can check out your house :-)

SimenAaserud.3598

Sorry buddy, but after playing last beta, maintaining enough energy was not a big issue…
Just keep your god kitten eyes on the energy bar and keep it above 40%. This worked really nice for me. Why it costs so much energy, is because the utility skills is truly powerful and needs the energy cost. Its the same as waiting for a 40 second cooldown. But actually, if you maintain the energy ok, you might actually use a utility skill twice. Which not many professions can do :-) GL training!

My Feedback/Review on Revenant (BW1)

in Revenant

Posted by: SimenAaserud.3598

SimenAaserud.3598

Great thread! But I disagree on mace. AA is very strong(torment), and should not have more range. I love how aggressive the play style is when its so close. (Maybe just me) As you say, revenant needs a damage buff, and more survivability.

Revenant Feedback

SimenAaserud.3598

This topic will in general focus on PvP experience.
Starting off with weapons:

Hammer – First off, the weapon have no leaps and so on, which makes it very clunky to play. The enemies can easily get up to you, which is a huge problem. The cast time overall needs to be faster. #3 and #5 is just way to easy to dodge. (Compared to warrior hammer)

Mace/Axe – I really enjoyed this combo, with a firefield and blastfinisher + the shadowstep on axe. Condition dmg works great, but along with this weapon combo, u will need more utilities for survival. For example in Mallyx stance, give it some evades or leaps. My opinion.

Sword/Sword(Shiro) : I have read the other threads, and I can agree with everyone. AA is just weird, the dmg i way too weak. I was testing combos, with Berserker amulet at golems in HOTM, and I were expecting something like thieves S/D dmg. But it took me so long to kill one, that i got really dissapointed, thinking that this legendary is assassin..
The utilities were ok, but the heal is just crap. Throw it away! Only decent heal might be Mallyx. And for the rest of the weapon skills.. Pooooor dmg. Boost it :-)

Staff: I prefered going for ventari here, as a healing revenant. And my experience is that i really loved it. Good support! Only problem was when I had 10131930 conditions on me, but I guess everyone dies from that.

Conclusion: Boost dmg on sword/sword, make another AA animation!
Faster casttime on hammer. Better healing and utility opportunities.
(Revenants really should get more utility skills to choose from, but well.. Beta)
I personally would like to see some leaps and rushes, like warriors GS #3 and #5.
We heavily survive on dodges atm. My personal feedback :-) Thanks.

Flavor of the month: Mesmer

Don’t know about your server, but every third person I meet is a mesmer. I really hope they will balance things up really fast. Because everything is OP now. From my perspective, mesmers takes the cake

After the patch hit, WvW roaming has become impossible.
Before there were good fights over a period of time. Now it is like the first burst wins.
I’ve also noticed a lot of people have grabbed their mesmer because PU Mesmer (Condition) is absolutely broken. A long with shatter mesmer also has a insane burst.
Please fix it. I dont enjoy this play style AT ALL. Maybe bring both physical and condition dmg down again. Especially in WvW. Will add that this also regards other classes as well, but mesmer is the one who I personally have noticed is the most powerful.
Tips: Nerf burning, condition ranger can claim 4-6k ticks now.
Thanks.

SimenAaserud.3598

GG. Here I were, excited for changes. And I saw that one of the “counters” for thief, gets a skill that makes us revealed? + An AOE moa skill? Like dealing with x amount of conditions was hard enough. So, in general.. Keep away from medi guards and now at least engineers? Balance) No point in rolling shadow refuge anymore.
So then my guess is thief’s elite specialization is going to be support. Great.
More to complain about it but ill keep it for myself.
Have fun with the condition vs condition gameplay. Im out.

This might be a long shot, but i’m posting it anyway. Theres hundreds of players wanting specific skins to get back in the Gemstore.

As for me, i’ve been waiting too long now for Grenth hood, so I really dont care about it anymore. However, I would really love the Scarlet shoulder and wrist skins to be back. Its been a long time since the Living World with Scarlet, and I can’t see those skins to have been available for a really long time.

I’m constantly asking map chat if they think they will return, and they say yes.
So please Anet, take my money and put them back in to Gemstore!

Arenas

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: SimenAaserud.3598

SimenAaserud.3598

Hey again Anet. Im here on behalf of a lot of players out there.
And my/our wish is one or several arenas where we can duel each other 1vs1, 2vs2.
Of course you have Obsidian Sanctum and PvP servers. But as for the time being, OS is used a lot for GvG. As I go there to look for people, its dead empty. And duel in PvP is not the same as with PvE gear.

So my suggestion is that you can open an arena in for example Queens Pavilion, and use the same system as we faced Liadri. Just we can face each other randomly, or queue for matches against each other. It would be a really nice way to watch other people fight, and do 1vs1 without getting interrupted by other players.

This would be a brilliant game mode for Heart of Thorns! Please respond to this suggestion and take it under consideration.
And players, please tell Anet how much we want this “game mode” !

You won’t only get “two more skills” bro.. This will work as the thief most likely.
Use a sword, apply a pistol in offhand and the sword skills change. Apply a dagger in offhand and the skills change. This will work as with the mesmer for example when using a sword, and applies the shield. He will get all 3 new skills on the sword. + traits + new utilities +++++
It’s fair, np.

Necromancers

Posted by: SimenAaserud.3598

SimenAaserud.3598

Hello all and thanks for your attention! I open this thread for the necromancers position and upcoming specialization. I will right away say that I am rather new to this class. I have played all other classes to lvl 80 and this class just got my attention. I loved the class from the very start, until I realized / found out necromancers is in a rather bad position.
So.. after some weeks of playing this class, I have realized that it’s more for PvP and WvW than it is for PvE. All the utilities is very selfish, just relying on himself. Where we only have one blast finisher with a 20 sec + cd which makes Necromancer a bad choice for speedruns in dungeons as for might stacking is a thing right now. I am a guy who has a keen eye on meta builds, and it is really sad to see that Necromancer do not have a spot in none of the game modes. I’m happy with the position in PvP, as I play that quite often. But Necromancer has a serious lack of movability and stability. There has probably been a lot of threads regarding this. So what are you guys toughts regarding specialization? I really hope the GS will be a melee weapon, with some nice skills like warriors GS (#3,5). If we get skills like mesmer’s GS, ranged.. and spreading condis… I would get very dissapointed. I hope the expansion will make the Necromancer whole a lot better in all game types. Making them wanted in every game mode. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is my experience with Necromancer as it is a very funny class to play.

One thing I really miss, is the challenges in Queens Pavillion Living Story when u fight Liadri. That being said, how awesome wouldnt it be with a gladiator arena in a PvE map, where players can go and look at other players fight?

2vs2, 1vs1 betting gold, for example 5g entrance, winner takes all. That would been really fun and you can see easier if you are a good player or not. Sure, u have roaming in WvW. But most of the time one guy is interrupting the whole duel. Duels in PvP, but there u have to find a guy to duel. If u don’t know many people, it would get boring to find one.

If they added this sort of gameplay, I think it would get very popular.

What do you think? Add two maps in a major city, where u can enter free or bet X amount.

SimenAaserud.3598

Well.. What people don’t think about, in the trailer they say: “new civilization” which actually might be a hint that we are getting a new race. Also “new allies”.

But considering that neither Tengu or Kodan joined the fight for Lion’s Arch and the dragons, it’s kind of stupid to suddenly bring in a new race. That’s my opinion tho…
Yes, it would be awesome with a new race, but they need personal story who don’t fit, customize all the armors to their bodies etc etc..
