First off I have not played in quite some time I just started playing again a few days ago,
So I went to the PvP lobby and noticed the arena,
So in the free for all arena you can fight but there is this mound that you can hide on that toggles off the PvP and lets you heal I have no idea if it is supposed to work this way here is a picture of me standing near the mound and then a picture standing on the mound as you see the enemies turn friendly.
And as you see I am starting to heal in that spot.
As I said this may not be a priority but it still seems like a bug.
First off Anet i would like to say thank you for all of your hard work, Now for what I’m here for,
Could we get a real capture the flag in pvp, red flag,blue flag,two capping points,can not cap if both sides have the flag, numbers i think should be fine with 5v5 or maybe 10v10! bigger fights for them flags!
Arenanet said bring the player not the profession(class)
Yet it does not feel like that it feels like bring dps/glass cannons zerker etc etc
I’m actually not one for healing groups or tanking like i said it was more about keeping my pet alive so he can dps with me since he IS my dps,as well as making my self a lil tanky to stay alive to help the pet etc lol< if that makes sense,But the people that WANT to heal really dont got much to work with,or tank.They got some but not enough in my opinion and to top it all off no one REALLY wants em in the group but maybe the nice guild if they find it and a few friends.
And i believe they meant you dont NEED holy trinity not that you shouldnt heal/tank because they gave people abilities to do so,And created armor sets for them jobs.If people want to do raw dps GREAT ! thats perfect BUT the people that want to heal and tank should have a place as well.
Interesting. I find myself a bit of a “theorycrafter” when it comes to different builds and setups in this game. I feel like something must be off in your build if you’re experiencing this level of frustration/error. I have the same set of armor (on my Guardian mind you but same set nonetheless) as well as a glassier set. Once again, I notice a significant difference. I’m happy to help you with your build in-game at any time if you wish.
Its not that its horrible in pve but its not that great,It can be done but i feel if i went dps i would be WAY more help,Which in the end i would be : D i say you should try the build it is actually fun in the open world taking on so many while your pet mauls em in the back.But in dungeons i notice i do seem to die as fast as the others in dps gear.UNLESS i pop troll unguent and spirit of nature then i heal quite a bit,and can use spirit of nature at the right time to revive the whole team.
Pretty much use every thing to buff pet,Start with ranged ,When they get to close switch to melee and fight away,watch health pop heal when needed and watch the pet go crazy then throw in the “sic em” and rampage as one,signet of the hunt,signet of the wild and watch your pet go well hmm i guess SUUPER crazy lol
and actually my drakes can hold aggro for me as well as the bear i seen it hold aggro as well.
It may not be 100 trinity he/she wants it could be that he/she WANTS to be viable for tanking and healing.
And soon you will be forced to play with zerk because every one is going to see how fast/easy it is and all cling to it most want quick and simple.
And there should be tactics in dungeons,not exploits,all hiding ina corner so you take less damage is sad really instead of a normal fight trying to worry about healing dodging etc hide ina corner for it to become easy lol.
Like i said you should NOT have to get a tank or healer BUT players should beable to actually do that role.Which i know (But you can) you may beable to but you are not really rewarded, well with MOST groups.
I pretty much got as much toughness i can get…my WHOLE set is power/toughness/healing,I have 6 in beastmaster,4 in survival 4 in skir, I was not going a 100% tank or healing,I am more about my pet doing damage and me staying alive for it to DO that damage while keeping my pet up but since its an aoe heal it keeps any one in it up.And even with that build my pet dies fast as do i,Outside normal mobs in the world.And in pvp its a joke with that play style the pet ai kinda sucks chases more than fights,misses its ability buy leaping over the target as they move (not dodge,run) but in pve we know its mainly a dodge game more than a tank/heal game THATS why the other styles dont really need to be there,if people actually had to fight without the dodge they would beg for a heal or tank etc.
It kinda feels like some of the stats are broken or actually not working,again i know im not an actual tank profession being a ranger but still toughness should help and it does not,And i think this is why they did not add the monk because the monk was a good healer and they dont wanna ruin it by making it a full dps lol.
and many are right you should NOT have to worry about holy trinity BUT shouldnt the people that WANT to heal and tank be able to??? I think this is why so many are returning to GW1
PS. ranger heals are good but in like pvp it does not make a difference you usually die in 2 hits,and in dungeons there are some mechanics that kill the group faster than your heals go off lol or are exploited by " group in this corner" < stuff like that im just saying if people WANT to tank,heal they should beable to.
In pvp i have power/toughness/healing yet i die faster than the cannons or raw dps builds,And the pet seems off there were atleast 5 times where my snow leopard used icy pounce and jumped PASS the target missing lt glad that does NOT happen in pve lol,Again i do not see other builds other than that i have been this cleric ranger from the start and im going to stick with it but it does not compare at all to the raw dps builds in actually being useful I am going to keep doing tests though.
I am going to tell a story which i know many will be like “noob” although at the start arenanet made it seem like i could make my toon how i wanted although many players think not,I know i know this build is stupid but i liked it up to a point,I run a cleric power/toughness/healing,Beastmaster ranger,Longbow,sword,dagger,It was supposed to be me tanking/healing me my pet and any one near me while i do a part of the dps and my pet does most of my dps ya know “beastmaster”,But in the end i lasted no longer than a glass cannon ranger sitting next to me or atleast anything noticeable although i have soloed some “elites” im sure some have in full dps, And in pvp i actually get 2-4 shot while having all that toughness/healing on i thought there would be more than one way to play like there SHOULD be or atleast how arenanet made it seem,But it really is not that way its dps or go home! lol,
Why bring some one built for healing when you could take a zerker and complete it much faster and just take the deaths you get lol
At first when people were new they liked my heals,But now its more like “why even have one”Why even have any armor sets if there is only 1-2 true sets that rule them all?
well i don’t usually post on the forums but…in my opinion if you nerf the AOE thats going to take alotta fun out of the game, didn’t arenanet say in the world of tyria its all about skill if that is true then the skilled players should have no problem with aoe just as it is,watch for aoe, its the unskilled players that dont move out of the aoe that get roasted.
im just saying if people WANT to tank,heal they should beable to.
