I didnt c any nerf request for Smokescale , where is this coming from?

Somebody heard Ranger had something that wasn’t completely useless.

Oh was Roy on twitter again? Kappa

Can we just make Fortifying Bond baseline already? This is just dumb. Why should I sacrifice my heal to share boons with my pet because of the 5 target boon limit cap.

The pet is a direct percentage of my damage deducted from all ranger power weapons, it should scale with all my stats if our weapons are going to have lesser coefficients for it.

Isn’t it lovely how you’ve got time to hotfix a gimmick pvp build but god forbid you actually fix the godkitten ed 1h sword autoattack locking out dodges or buff our miserable weaponskill coefficients for that matter.

While we’re on the topic of ranger grivances, why is Serpent Strike on a 15 second cd? It’s a 1/2 second evade that does a tiny fraction of the damage of unrelenting assault, pistol whip, or even blurred frenzy.

Why is Monarch’s leap a dodge with a cast time? It makes the dodge useless in pretty much most circumstances as most boss attacks are quicker than the cast time itself.

Why is Call of the Wild a 30 sec cd skill? 3 stacks of might and 15 secs of fury, an ele with persisting flames does an eruption>lava font and suddenly the group is sitting at the same amount of might stckas, with capped might from other people’s blasts, with permanent fury due to persisting flames.

Then this horrendous 3 might cap on we heal as one. Meanwhile Phalanx Strength caps might for FIVE PEOPLE with a single press of 100 blades, elementalist gives permanent fury with persisting flames and a permanent fire field with lava font.

But, nope, a gimmick pvp build using we heal as one selfishly, which didn’t even grant boons to allies, was the problem.

Good to know your priorities. Meanwhile nobody wants a ranger in PvE still, all our weapon autoattacks and skills besides longbow do pitiful damage, especially the axe autoattack, and our traitlines are still a mess, with incredibly garbage traits like Strider’s Defense, Most Dangerous Game (3 seconds of 5 might at 50% health lol, seriously what a stinker of a grandmaster) and nature’s vengeance (wow, 3 stacks of might from a spirit, totally worth a grandmaster slot compared to phalanx strength or persisting flames).

And it’s pretty clear you guys also have no intention of fixing pet survivability against the aoe/cleave spam in PvE, forcing us to stow away jaguars in favor of drakes/bears that do autoattacks which hit less than a 1-2 stack tick of burning damage.

Melee pets outside drakes still don’t cleave. Our pets do not benefit from rune or sigil bonuses, no food or potion bonuses, no ascended gear upgrade bonuses, the pets cannot reach the same ferocity levels the player can, only up to 70% bonus crit damage while the player is looking at 110%+.

And now you’ve turned our elite specialization into a one dimensional heal bot with no offensive options and traits that are only based on healing (and celestial form tied to healing over damage, making sure no druid not wielding a staff can make use of the traitlines and celestial form anywhere close to as well as a staff healbot druid).

No need to worry.

…And this is why ranger is never meta. A powerful ranger build with no cleanse? Nerf immediately. A powerful elementalist build with the best cleanse and sustain in the game? Meh, leave it be for a few months.

Love is in the air

Jennah and Pale Tree
those were meant to be.

Even Logan is happy

[FGS]: How long has it been, boy?

[IB]: 1 year and 20 days exactly

[FGS]: Nothing is ever built to last. I still remember that fateful day. They placed me against the wall, beat me senseless, forced me to confess to a crime I never commited, then destroyed my one and only precious gift I got from my grandfather, my Fiery Rush. They didn’t stop there, though. They forced me to use it against the wall. Over and over again. They just watched as I kept trying to kill a sparkfly that was just too strong for me.

[IB]:Dad, please. You told me this before. You were even talking in your sleep. I should have listened. Every night I kept telling myself that it won’t happen to me. Every night I kept ignoring the warnings. The little bump on my Frost Fan should have been a clear message. They were going to do the same thing to me as they did to you.

FGS got up from his chair and walked around the police station. He glanced at his son. As he stood there, he remembered himself sitting in that exact same chair just over 1 year ago. It had been 3 days since his arrest. Maybe it was his own fault, he thought to himself. Maybe he should have tried harder to protect his son. But he failed. His son was going to be trialed just like him, for a crime he did not commit.

2 Years have passed ever since people found Variety laying dead in the Trader’s Forum. The case is still opened. It seems like even after condemning FGS, the Meta Police was still not satisfied. They just hungered for more and more influence. And they could never be stopped.

IB picked up the latest number of The Dungeoneer and read some of the headlines. “Icebow arrested this weekend when attempting to smuggle illegal DPS over the FOTM border” “Is this the end of the meta?”. The text was taunting him. He opened it at a random page. The title of the article was “The meta is changing at an alarming rate”. It was an interview with Nike. “This is more of a disaster for the people who loved him, like thieves, than it is for him”. IB closed the magazine and started crying.

All this time, a suspicious figure had been watching them from the window. He was wearing an empowering aura, and had a rather odd Phalanxey look to him. He grabbed his banners and swiftly ran away when a police officer opened the window, leaving behind only a note that said “lv 50 zerk meta guard thief 2 engi GEARCHECK mossman rdy”

Break warrior stereotypes-

There (think location) – the engine is over there.
Their (think ownership, belongs to) – Abjured are #1 NA, their strategy is tight.
and for bonus points
They’re – or to put it plainly “They are”.

I know they all sound the same but the difference means so much :D

~Ugg!

Before sale started, 100 gems was 1.25€ and right now 100 gems cost you:

calling cele d/d a hybrid build is laughable.

cele d/d isn’t a hybrid build, its an EVERYTHING build, outside of access to stealth (not like they need it) and maybe spike damage potential, there isn’t a single thing in pvp that cele d/d doesn’t at least achieve a 90% efficiency at compared to the top of the line specs.

they can bunker at least 90% as well as a guardian, has at least 90% of the mobility of a thief, can cleanse/dish out condis etc etc.

its not a “hybrid” if you get 50 miles per gallon but also can haul as much as a pickup truck and take on a Bugatti Veyron in a street race

Adjust.6903:

Haven’t played mine in months.

One might say, you need to Adjust to the new meta

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Gw2 is eSports
So no buffs for You…

Rifle builds are even worse than before the patch. If you get hit by Kill Shot you probably deserved it.

I was hoping you would have said that what they did to the Norn was unbearable.

no dummy others cant play BECUZ zerg dominince

thats why we can play how we want when always zerg gear ping this kick that

your probly onee of the eletists too

thier are 63 gears in GW2 but only one is rite lol ok if we had tanks and heal like REAL games no more zerg boo hoo for you

Here we see my vari and his dearheart having a romantic moment on a doomed cruise ship…wait a minute…

Andraus.3874:

It’s actually called Swampland. And the time it takes to roll it is significantly less than doing Uncategorized, Urban Battlegrounds, and possibly the same amount Of time as Aquatic Ruins tho a lot of people don’t like Aquatic Ruins or don’t have the AR for it. So if you want to do an extra 15-20 mins in your run then don’t roll Swampland. And to be brutally honest if you don’t bother to do that you most likely don’t know or don’t bother with the other little things that make fractals go faster or easier.

Fixed.

Sublimatio.6981:

No, it’s Boomerlang now

fine,

the shatterer is now officially named the shatner.

What are you 5 years old? Grow up a little.

I felt a need to momentarily revive this ancient tradition.

100% REAL, LEGIT AND NOT SATIRICAL PATCH NOTES

Following feedback from the majority of our players, we are making the following changes to dungeons to bring them further in line with our original design manifesto.

Currently, players of any level are able to enter any dungeon, an oversight by our original dungeon team. This has been exploited by certain players to level new characters faster than we think they should. These exploiters have all been permanently banned, and to prevent further occurrences and enhance dungeons we have made the following changes:

• Dungeon story modes must now be unlocked by being of the appropriate level, and bringing a special item tangentially related to the dungeon to the NPC outaide the dungeon. This special item can only be obtained from world boss chests, and is not a guaranteed drop. Explorable modes now require story mode to be completed before players can enter such instances.

• All dungeons are now contestable, and new meta event chains have been added in the vicinity of dungeon entrances that are required to progress if the dungeon is to open, as part of an initiative to promote immersion and encouraging players to explore the open world.

The New Player Experience (NPE) has been integrated into dungeons to assist newer players making their first foray into this poorly designed excuse for a farm lore-rich instanced content. Henceforth:

• All cutscenes are now unskippable and players are forced to sit through minutes of boring monologue richly voice acted scenarios including one involving a charr telling an asura that his plan is stupid and won’t work.

• Popups will now appear throughout story mode dungeons containing useful information, such as informing you that the chests spawned at certain points in the dungeon might give you a legendary precursor, et cetera.

• Completion of a dungeon will now reward you with an unsalvageable masterwork aquatic breather, in addition to Empyreal Fragments.

Other changes not necessarily pertaining to dungeons:

• Trahearne has now been added to all dungeon instances to tie dungeons in with the Personal Story and Living World. In each dungeon, there is now a compulsory objective to rescue Trahearne after the main path has been completed.

• Added a new boss to all dungeon paths as part of the Trahearne rescue: Legendary Mordrem Dredge Disaggregator. This boss, in addition to applying protection every 10 seconds with a gong, will randomly stun you with said gong and summon dredge cars that endlessly spawn Mordrem Teragriff Bashers until destroyed.

• Dungeon clear times are now tracked, and the NPC outside each dungeon or the vendors in Lion’s Arch will show the slowest 3 clears of the day, as well as the average clear time of the dungeon. Players who complete all dungeon paths in 20 minutes faster than the average times of each path in a day will receive an Ascended chest containing their choice of a piece of armor with Nomad stats, and a new title: Berserker Elitist.

• Berserker gear has been renamed to Elitist gear, while Assassin’s gear has been renamed Tryhard/Wannabe gear.

This statement exists for the sole purpose of indicating that the notes above are satirical (if the title wasn’t obvious enough), that I am well aware that this thread is worthy of bingo, that I may get infracted for spreading misinformation (which would be stupid, since I made it pretty obvious this is fake, yes I was suspended for that very reason) and that I pity any sucker who believes that this post is a genuine set of patch notes by ArenaNet representatives, which I am not. Seriously, why am I including this disclaimer? It ruins the fun.

Sorry to put the brakes on, this toy is just purchaseable in my imagination.

But im sure some people would buy it for 500 gems, even if it doesnt give a speed buff.
It would just enable you to ride around your favourite city on it, while all your hype related tells in map chat will flash in different colors and look all sparkly.

Maybe add a wagon or two, for your favourite mini and a Cape to fly from the last one.

I would buy it just to run it off a cliff.
