Guild Wars 2

Chaith.8256:

I think lots are overly pessimistic. The same always expecting some kind of surprise overhaul to the profession, yet disappointed when it doesn’t happen.

It’s been 5 years, I can’t begin to force myself to continue caring that half of the utilities are trash.

As for the other specializations, they’re not as messed up in PvP as most will lead you to believe.

All I can elaborate further on that is that in PvP, don’t underestimate Explosives, Firearms, and Tools just because Scrapper had no synergy with them, it doesn’t mean Holosmith won’t as well.

Explosives and Firearms with Holosmith (not together) will be a thing. The existence of Holosmith will elevate those specs

In WvW, grenades are too much of a retaliation liability, always have, but a Crystal Configuration: Storm power Holosmith will have plenty of AoE with a mid range, and the elite skill will be a killer too.

Why would you not got go Explosives + Firearms + Holosmith? This will have great synergi,, with high crit explosive dammage for quick bleed,weakness, and burn dammage. A bit of a glass cannon but still.

hmm i wonder how it is going to work,- They should call it holomancer in stead

For me it is the guns and the gadgets, even tough i don’t get to use gadgets much :/ or the guns.. well i use em anyway as i mostly do world events.

an electric/explosive short bow, with mines/booby traps could work

Traps and a main hand gun. a witch hunter or something like that.

Thanks for the answers i got it now.
@Mosferre they can drop on first mop or later seems a bit random. Took a while for me to get the drop from sons of svanirr but first kill on flame legion

I am having a bit of trouble getting this item to drop from the Inquest Golem Mark II
Is it a random drop or what?
Some of the other peaces droped on first try from boss kills.
Any thoughts?

I feel the scrapper is a fail on so many levels, The new ranger pets have more use and utility then all the gyros. And whats with that lame function gyro that have no use.
Just be glad that i am not your boss if you know what i mean.
I had high hopes for the concept. At least there are new class to play.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9zOWZUywrrg#t=107 Am decently sure it’s the grenades piercing and -not- it being 13 grenades that spawn on barrage. This video is pretty good proof of the current damage on pierce!

Either way it’s borked.

(And I still wanna have skill queue-ing fixed!)

Are grenades supposed to pierce? Perhaps they added it to grenades in stead of pistols by mistake?
I do hope this triad will be added to the pistol as well and the explosive on auto so i can use this instead of grenades.

I think, when the new trait systems comes along, a pistol build will properly be usable.

I haven’t been able to find one either :/
