I’m sorry man but if a Thief has full endurance mid encounter they’re not doing something right. They have 2 traits in the Daredevil line based on not having full endurance and the new heal is based on not having full endurance.
Read. What. You. Just. Wrote.
There are other professions in game that have bonuses when they have less than max endurance. Daredevil is the only profession in the game that can still be sitting on 2 dodges for emergencies (the maximum safety margin for most folks) and still proc those traits.
The Daredevil’s benefit of 3 endurance bars is MONSTEROUSLY powerful. It’s a third pulse of on-demand godmode combined with a deeper cistern to trap time/vigor. Don’t let the simplicity fool you: it shames most of the other Espec mechanics for raw power and people here are treating it like a footnote. Its not “one more dodge per encounter” it’s “when any other profession would be out of endurance and stuck in a one-shot death zone you are sitting pretty — repeat as many times as you manage your endurance/vigor well.”
We are treating it as a footnote because it was something we ALWAYS HAD until they decided to destroy the acrobatics trait line just so they could make that our elite spec. They don’t get to give us something we already had and treat it like its the most awesome thing ever, sorry.
Please don’t make our elite spec gimmick a worse version of a minor trait we had for over two and a half years (3 dodges/100 endurance is better than 3 dodges/150 endurance), please don’t cheat us out of real grand master traits by making what should be our elite spec default change into grand master traits, and please please give us a reason to use staff. I just can’t see Daredevil as anything other than a kitten job as it currently is.
For me it was the Fused Gauntlets. I missed those and they are awesome.
This, i was so disappointed in having missed them and sad that they were not brought back for the LA event with the other old rewards. Getting one unlocks all three weight classes which is a big plus. Second would be the sclerite karka shell.
It’s one or the other, quartz or tokens.
Making the points bigger is the absolute perfect solution. It affects nothing else that i can think off, i does not nerf engis in any way, and it will actually improve the game.
We weren’t going to get a 30% more damage to people under 50% trait, we weren’t going to get a 100% crit and 20% more crit damage coming out of stealth trait. Hidden killer and executioner were not getting replaced on their respective builds, instead we got a GM trait that is useful in a completely different situation than those other two traits. That is PERFECT, it is EXACTLY what the new traits should be like. Sorry you don’t get to replace hidden killer on your backstab build, and you don’t get to replace executioner in your dps build, but both of them were mostly useless in a zerg situation.
The problem was never crit damage, the problem was having an armor set that has the ideal stats for any dps build. The only “solution” would be to remove berzerker and then rebalance the whole game around every armor set having 2 dps 1 tank stat or 2 tank 1 dps stat. Berzerker is like having an armor set that is toughness vitality and healing.
Even during times of huge demand for Mithril Ore, this mat is just so easily farmable that no one I’m aware of has ever been able to push the price above 1 silver for more than a few minutes
Isn’t Iron easily farmable and until recently also below 1 silver? How is mithril different? Legitimate question I’m still new to this.
Farming doesn’t mean going out in the world and mining it, if that was it then iron would always be cheaper than mithril. Farming means farming stuff that salvages into mithril or iron, and the grand majority of players farming are level 80 so there is a ton more of mithril salvaged from items than iron. Specially when there are huge farm events like the battle for LA packed with mostly lvl 80s chain killing stuff, the battle for LA single handedly tanked the price of silk while it was going on.
The new intelligence sigil is definitely earning a spot, sigil of battle is always useful. What else though?
And then your awesome burn gets overwritten by any of the multitude of classes with burn on crit traits, congrats. There is no such thing as a good burn guardian build, arguing otherwise is just making you foolish.
I just went through the other class forums and every single one is full of kittening about their traits.
wow. we got 1 useable skills.
50% less dmg in stealth is nice…. atleast its 100% of the time or it’d be garbage too.
gotta say overall theif got the worst traits.
guardian gets 33% more dmg on burn (highest dmgin condi in game already)
3000 hp extra too!pfft…thief. pfft.
The best part is how you picked the two very worst guardian traits to complain about. Guardians by FAR got the worst traits, at least they were in a pretty good spot already. Second worst are Rangers. The DA trait is pretty kitten good, the complaints about backstab + heartseeker spam with 400 more power (since most people never went more than 10 into DA before) are going to be incredible. The 50% less damage in stealth also includes other people, that is pretty decent really, although it is mostly a “rez people without getting mowed down like wheat the second you lay down shadow refuge” trait. The rest are meh, the critical strikes heal will get used in farming situations and possibly zerging in wvwvw, i would have loved it during the LA events actually. But those things are not very exciting so even though it is a very useful trait for certain situations people are kittening about it. The confusion trait is great for anyone using a perplexity build. Can’t get excited at all about the acrobatics 1s stability, just meh.
you dont play thief obviously. ok let me clear somet hings up for ya. if u ever see aHUGE backstab…they are running 25 30 0 0 15. now….even with the 200 extra power…. nobody is going to run 30 points in DA… its not worth it. watch. the power is going to be nice and make you wanna be more aggressive but its only going to help heartseeker and thats it… not worth losing utility of 30 points in trickery or SA for a lil bit better finisher.
next is …WTF ARE YOU KIDDING? 33% more dmg to the highest dmging condi in game and its likenear perma on guard builds? yeah ok… then theres the 3000 extra HP on the hardest class to kill in the game. plus 10% less dmg across the board which makes thieves not even be able to kill a good guardian. GOOD guardian.
imagine this…. 10 of your choice class or classes against 10 guards. guards run burn on aegis… judgements hallowed grounds…burn on crits etc etc…aoe heals aoe stability aoe aegis aoe burn aoe blinds and knockdowns/dmg and all the time with 3k extra HP. the 10 guards would whup dat butt man. thats crazy op. can anyone say precision/tough and condition dmg/healing …ooooweee!
Ten guardians = one burn, thats why that trait (and guardian burn) is completely useless. You cannot make condition builds when one class only has one single easily overwritten condition, that’s why they turned retaliation into condition based damage on another of their GM traits. Claiming any kind of burn guardian build is viable just shows how little you understand about this game, anyone who has ever played a guardian is laughing at you like a thief would if a guardian was claiming last refuge was awesome.
They said those mines didn’t strip boons on the webcast, they didn’t say anything about knockback. I would seriously doubt they knockback though, there was no icd on them. It’s just a bit of extra damage and extremely good area denial.

Its a great trait competing against two build defining traits, not a bad effort but i doubt it will get a whole lot of use. Might be fun to see what kind of sustain we can put up with it + signet of malic + assassins reward. It does give me hope that maybe the other traits will be fun and well balanced though, personally i would’ve liked to see what they have in store for deadly arts and acrobatics, two lines with very lackluster grandmaster traits.
There is only one possible way you could be an active player since launch and never had more than 20g: you are constantly spending a lot of gold. That is the only thing that makes sense.
Why would you need Scarlet to tell you why she did it when you find out a few seconds later anyways?
Seriously ? Liberator of Lion's Arch chest
in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath
Posted by: Tremain.4623
You can get the liberator of lions arch chest by doing easy dailies, what kind of reward did you expect? the good rewards are on the events that actually take some effort.
You are not getting loot because you are not doing enough damage, i bet your instance was zerging each knight? Get in a group, you will get loot.
I wonder how much of the two weeks we’ll lose to broken content this time.
I popped a glory booster from my unending stash to do my pvp daily today, ended up with 2 more from the tournament reward chests. It is very disappointing to see a worthless reward pop up. I do not understand the need to remove glory before the new reward system is even finished.
Or just hold on to the ticket and wait for the next set. You never know, those might sell better.
But then he would have to wait even longer for the prices to go up.
You can’t hold on to investments forever.
Improvisation is huge.
The effort is very very very low compared to any other ascended back item.
Whenever you make a huge event that requires lots of teamwork to complete successfully you really should not add things that actively discourage players from helping. Right now we have lots of players contributing nothing towards saving lions arch by running around digging through piles of rubble for heirlooms, this is silly and boring and grindy. Instead make rescuing citizens give the heirlooms, this way players grinding for their halos are actively helping the event rather than taking up a spot. Not only that but it individually rewards players for doing something besides zerging events for loot.
Are the tier bags actually different? cause they all stack.
"Rewards from previous Living World releases"
in Battle for Lion’s Arch - Aftermath
Posted by: Tremain.4623
I’ve gotten 7 dragon bash chests twice from the 100 citizens reward, and the higher reward bags are exactly the same as the first one since they all stack.
Patch notes says the highest tier of citizen rescue reward (1500) has a chance to drop previous LS rewards. Has anyone gotten anything so far?
You can get 40+ a day easily, i wouldn’t consider under a week “a pretty long time”. You can get both in under two weeks.
Sell one damask, buy 15 leather. Math is hard.
Floating horns = silly and makes no sense.
I don’t understand how anyone can think this, ive been tossing out dragonite by the stack. It drops WAY too much, i already have enough bricks to gear up all 8 of my chars in ascended if i ever wanted too and i have random stacks cluttering up all my chars. If anything drop rate needs to be lowered to about a fifth of what it is now. I don’t even know where empyreal shards drop, i think i have like zero.
The difference in price between a legendary and the mats you can buy of the trader seems to be about 800g.
That is not manipulation, that is one poor sucker who typed in the wrong tab.
The time to invest in the flame and frost dyes was during the three day sale, right now it would be a terrible idea.
I wonder what is the Dev statement on serious TP manipulations like these…
Why they not permaban and block those users who doing this?
And theye guys are not just powerselling, they’re the goldsellers who “silently” forces you to buy gold from them if you want anything real useful…And since GemStore is just bad, AN still didn’t took control over it…
Just sell these STRAIGHT. No RNG, no BS.
MF Conduit: 20$
I would buy it.
or you waiting us to buy 3 more times gold from the gray/black market?
Because they are not doing anything wrong and in fact the more money that is spent on the trader the better the economy is overall? the TP is the main gold sink in this game, hell the only gold sink.
I think Gossamer should not be worth less than silk. I, personally, am fine with the silk price but gossamer should get something to increase its worth.
The reason why gossamer is cheaper than silk is that lots of people promoted silk to gossamer prior to the ascended armorcrafting patch in december because they thought Gossamer would rise higher in price.
the silk/gossamer prices are a dilemma the players brought upon themselves and i dont know why Anet should change anything.
No the reason is because tons of people craft damask every single day, most of them to sell it, and it uses 300 silk vs 0 gossamer. It has nothing to do with the upgradings, its just much much much higher silk demand than gossamer. Whoever came up with the ascended recipes did a terrible job of balancing the necessary items making t6 worthless, all leather worthless and silk/linen/cotton/wool requirements insane.
P/P is overpowered? Oh dear god it happened… I have now. Heard. Everything.
I guess you can’t read properly? nowhere did I say it was op. I said thief is not underpowered like some thieves like to say.
Just because you lost 2v1 to a p/p thief doesn’t make it not underpowered, it makes you really really bad.
Is that the only role mesmers can play?
Any signet ability that is only valuable for it’s passive is broken and needs to be fixed. The biggest culprit here is obviously healing signet, but all the movement speed signets belong here too. Signet passives should be small bonuses that make you consider whether you really want to use the active or not, making them so good that you never even consider using the active is a huge mistake.
There is absolutely nothing “new” here, this is the same exact stuff we already knew was coming.
If you were going to make it better than the other infinite picks you could at least make it cost more. Thanks Anet for making me feel like a kitten for giving you money.
Rename the class to assassin, change our class skill into four different poisons.
People hate Scarlet like they hate Joffrey.
A better change to torment would be to make it simply stack bleeds on a moving target, and do nothing if they stand still.
It’s been over a year since launch, most low level areas in most servers are going to be mostly empty. Try a server with very high population, but even then the only low level zone with a healthy population will be the human one.
People actually roamed in full zerker? is this a new thing?
2000 hours should easily be enough to make enough money to buy about oh… 100 precursors or so? what have you been doing to get precursors? If the answer is anything besides “farming gold to buy one” you are doing it wrong.
