No crash, but nothing epic, and like a lot of people, can’t run the dungeon because my party can’t enter in the dungeon or end up in a different instance.
Depend if WvW or spvp. I played mostly engi.
WvW : thief, mesmer , guardian
Spvp : mesmer , and sometime thief.
That’s basicaly what i was thinking to get with carrion stuff for jewelry , but i’d like some feedback before spending more gold. Also, what about pistols stats and sigils ? Rampager with sigil of earth ?
Would also be interested in seeing working builds and gear based on this because i’d like some ideas to tinker my engi.
I am actually running 10/30/20/0/10 with Healing turret, Elixir gun, nades, tool kit and supply crate/mortar in a non optimised gear. I have most on-crit condition i suppose ( vulnerability instead of longer burn duration ), and the 20 point in Invention are for the increase mortar range/supply ( trait that is actually bugged ).
I like coated bullet, but i don’t know if crits on ennemies other than the target do apply on crit condition with Explosive shot/Poison Dart volley or if it’s just a waste of 10 points.
As for gear, i buyed the Vatlaaw set ( preci/condi/tough) + undead runes some time ago but don’t use it as i feel i will lack vitality to make the toughness worthwhile. Should i aim for carrion trinkets to compensate ?
I am also against a dungeon finder, even if it take longer to form a group to run a dungeon, at least the majority of players try to stick to their initial party till the end. All the automation would just make things worse as groups would immediatly disband, or abuse kick for a single wipe.
Dungeon finder is one of the worst thing that has been introduced in Wow, and who helped to broke apart its community and made its really poor reputation.
A lot of GW2 gamemechanics (like the downed state/revive or DE’s) have been made so that players want to help each others. The community is actually decent, so please don’t ruin this by adding some “community tools” that are just good at breaking that community.
Instead, i agree on the Party Finder point, something like listing your party with which dungeon or whatever you intend to do with said party would be helpful. Didn’t played Gw1, but something like Planetside 1 Squad listing for example.
Yes, it’s been worth my 60€. Compare this to some solo games which can be completed in 6hours with the same price, it’s pretty much worth it.
The game has a lot of flaws, be it bugs, balance etc; but on the overall i enjoyed my time spent on it.
But i have to admit that after over 600hours of total game, i am bored. Most of the people i’ve started to play with have stopped playing weeks ago, and aside from a bit of wvw, i just stay in Lion’s Arch and alt-tab to do something else.
I hope there will be new content, but the kind that will not arrive before the next big update/expansion. I don’t like seasonal events like halloween, but will see what it’s gonna be, might be surprised.
Also running a dual pistols build mostly in WvW and Pve. I’ve also played Rifle and nades but just love pistols too much.
Main problem is to get enough damage output. Even with a condition stuff( like Carrion/Vatlaaw sets ) I have a hardtime to kill people, and i can’t compete with other conditions oriented professions. Add also survivability that is not so great compared to some other profs that do not have to commit to a fight if they don’t want to ( thief/mesmer ).
Imo, aside from fixing the “miss” factor from blowtorch, FT and 3 of EG; pistols also need to get back their 4 secs bleed. Explosive shot, while being fun with Coated bullet on clumped targets, seriously lack in dps for single target use.
As for Elixirs; Instead of U , you should consider R , or a gadget/kit. Depend if pvp/pve. Net turret is also an option.
Concerning sPvp, i kept the Rifle with bombs, elixir S and Personnal battering ram , less fun, but more effective and useful to defend points.
