Guild Wars 2

At siren’s landing,where the illusionary beast spawns at the portals,you can find npc phantasms using longbows.Probably some of you have seen them already but just in case I will post an image.

You didnt miss anything.They just didnt deliver.

@Amadeus Thank you for your tips :-) I indeed watch for some of the enemy skills you mentioned but the truth is I sometimes fail to respond in time because I’m still not very used to the new specializations and I now know that mistakes like these recieve heavy punishment if the opponent is a person who knows what he is doing.So…Practice it is I’m also a fan of your videos btw Are you still using staff and the bunky build?Happened to find a roamer chrono the other day with probably a similar build like yours.He was kiting 4-5 ppl for ages

@Mak Will keep that in mind Mak!I have a fair amount of power as it is now so I guess I have that going for me which is nice Thanks!

Yes,power builds do heavy dmg to me.That’s why I started getting toughness+vitality trinkets.But I guess that’s not enough yet :-) Tbh,I don’t like being zerker and I started playing as one cause I was mainly a power/shatter mesmer before HoT and the dmg then from other classes wasnt that bad as it is now.So I thought I could make it work somehow as a chrono.I’m happy i was wrong :-)

Now I know that I can work with it,and it’s not my class’ fault.Gonna start building more defensive stats and in the same time increase my crit dmg a bit.

@Nevhie Yes illusion generation is lacking with the quickness grandmaster trait.I used to use chronophantasma.I will go back to it.:-)

Thank you very much for your help Ross and Nevhie.Any other suggestion is super welcomed :-)

I sometimes also use chronophantasma as my grandmaster cause it helps a lot when I shatter my iDefender,the 5secs buff comes back after it respawns so I can have almost 10 secs of dmg reduction if I timed it right.Most of the time I use that,but I wanted to try quickness now to see how it goes:-)

Hello everyone :-) I would like to know,how do you guys find chrono mainly in WvW as a solo roamer.Now,I know the game isnt balanced for 1v1s,but I have trouble vs skilled opponents,mainly heralds,daredevils and druids like losing 60-70% of the time if like I said they r skilled and know what are they doing.
I can deal with other classes but I almost never destroy someone who is at least a decent player like decent heralds druids etc do with me.People finally figured out to not hit a chrono when he is blocking and move away when he uses sword#2.There have been times I soloed 3 ppl etc but I know those guys didnt know what they were actually doing so I dont count any of that.
I basicaly have trouble 1v1ing as chrono vs solid players.I’m totally not the best player ever,but I know that it’s not ONLY my fault.I do very good in sPvP and win most of the time with good stats and very good teamplay.My spec in WvW is dom/inspi/chrono for some extra survivability.Is it mainly my fault and l2p issue all the way?Is it just chrono isnt meant to 1v1?Or just the general philosophy of the teamplay balance of the game meaning some classes will fall behind in 1v1 combat?
I would appreciate your opinions about this issue.Thank you :-)

Why almost every single thread has to have someone who nonstop complains about thief’s situation?Even warriors who have it worse atm don’t spam that much.We get it.Thieves don’t do well in sPvP.But spamming every single thread about that just becomes annoying.You know how Anet works.They buff/nerf once every 9 years with or without spam on forums.

Nerfing visuals just hurts the game in general.The problem lies in the pvp maps.A game has to look beautiful in order to attract players among other things like rich content etc.Nerfing visual effects,not only from mesmers,but from all classes is a bad move.It’s just that the maps arent Esport/spectate friendly.6 ppl fighting in one small circle is gonna be messy with or without clones/meteors.

I would rather have a human catapult on which we can place the dead bodies of the enemy servers from a previous fight and catapult them back to their base so we can strike the remaining enemies with fear

We did it today.Mostly ppl who happened to be n the map plus 1-2 guilds of 5 ppl each.We used the 15mins pre time to explain tactics and both on map and local chat.We started the fight and focused to not dmg any octo below 10%.If a side struggled,some ppl from a solid side went immediately there to balance things out.After all octos were at around 10%,we gave the signal and killed them all in the 2 mins limit with many seconds to spare.It was a very cool experience

And I don’t understand how people like you can press a button endlessly and get joy out of it as long as they can watch some progress bar go up.

“We don’t make grindy games — we leave the grind to other MMOs.”

You know who said that? President of Arenanet, when talking about the design philosophy behind GW2. You know what else he said?

“GW2 doesn’t fall into the traps of traditional MMORPGs. It doesn’t suck your life away and force you onto a grinding treadmill; it doesn’t make you spend hours preparing to have fun rather than just having fun.”

People are mad because this expansion is everything GW2 is not supposed to be.

Here are some links for you, in case you want to look it up yourself:

so what would you rather how would you fix it? give every one every masterie fully level the elite and then last of all send them a ton of mails with every item they need to finish every achievement and a copy of each legendary as they come out? last time i checked there is no time limit as to how long it takes you to get every thing maxed out that’s not a grind its a long term goal, now if tomorrow they came out and told us that they where shutting down the gw1 servers in a month and you sat there for 18 hours a day getting HOM points then that’s a grind.

I’m so tired reading the same response over and over again.I will explain to you but I know someone else will do the same thing you did soon after on a different thread. We DONT want to have everything on day one. We DONT have a problem farming for our legendary for months. We DONT want to play with one hand while drinking coke with the other in a raid boss fight. We WANT the challenge of the end game. BUT we DONT want a core mechanic like a spec to be so unreasonably troublesome to get.What’s next?Mastery for bank access?Dude,please.

I’ve seen so many ppl using Super Mario,including myself,as a term to describe the HoT map experience!It comes naturally I guess :-D Super Mario Wars 2

I disagree. I think you should work hard for elite specs. Now they are too easy to get (maybe not easy for casual players with low skill, not sure why some people complain on forums).

Wow

You need mastery points to rank up yes.Open your hero tab in game,and go to the last tab under achievements that says “masteries”.You will see the current mastery you maxed and next to it a star/sun kind of thing grey color.Click it,spend a mastery point and here you go.Hope I helped

4/10 I could provide my reasons but I don’t have the mastery for that yet.
