You are supposed to use both FGS and IB with the current power staff rotation.
FGS only serves purpose for some attacks after you change to air and you don’t want to aa air so you use your hard hitting skills on FGS until air overload is up and then swap back to fire and do the rotation again. With the high cooldown on FGS is only there for a one time per rotation.
SweetFX upgrades visually the game a lot (at least for me).
What about the new gear stat? Power/Cond.Dmg (main), Prec/Feroc(secondary) ?
I think this one fits a lot more on the playstyle of weaver.
Helloooo devs xD
We need map completion, not to mention people with story :P
Well elementalist is top tier DPS right now, if u are looking for the best aoe dps go for ele.
They can also support through heals and might stacks/fury.
You can’t go wrong with ele.
The hard part is that this class is very squishy and you may die a lot in the learning curve. After some time you can be really ideal for damage etc.
Or they should let us swap weapons out of combat, like we requested 100 times already :p
Any differences between reshade editions?
I am impressed noone took that name.
It’s all melee, 130 range.
The Trading post didn’t change, only the Gem Store. And its really looking awesome now.
It’s always like that when something change it, give it a bit of time and stop complaining.
While there may not have been an announcement, the tools on the gem store itself had a timer counting down (I noticed it about a day before they left the gem store).
I must have missed it, even though i was online yesterday since late night.
Without any warning, are they coming back any time soon? (maybe separately?).
I logged in to buy them happily today but they are not there.
I really love the new mining pick but i don’t want to spend 2700 gems just for this, can we get an option to buy them separately??
pretty pls Anet…?!
I am a bit dissapointed since we dont really have any good OH weapon to pair it with Sword MH, same thing happened with OH warhorn, the MHs are bad (except Dagger-lighting auto-attack, everything else feels terrible to use).
There is not a new fractal coming so soon I am afraid! We are working on the new fractal but still have a lot of work to do. It will ship when it is ready
For me it’s Aetherblade, i just hate those waves of mobs after mobs and the “puzzles” inbetween sometimes take too long with a bad group.
I like the bossfight though, but the rest is boring.
I see elite skills as skills you activate only occasionally, hence why they’re so powerful. For me most of them are my ‘oh-kitten’ button; a skill not needed for most combat.
Are you serious? Most elites are crap compared to some utility skills.
Look at Eles(+tempest) elites for example.
It’s not the first though,
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Infinite_Watchknight_Tonic
Don’t forget event items such as: Bauble and Bauble Bubble pls!!!
Or can they at least make it into currency storage?
So are we 2 expansion away before legendary armor ?!
Or are you guys going to continue add raiding content at the same pace you have right now (every 3 months) ??
At the end i would suggest look for some content that most players can enjoy and not only the 2-3% of the playerbase :S
And here i am finished dailies before patch ( didn;t got the 2g ;( ) but i think it’s a cool feature since people (some) have maxed out daily achievements they need a motivation to log in and keep doing those dailies.
Well, you got your scepter buffs, good ones. I don’t agree with the 17% buff on staff fireball, it will only promote fire camping.
which already happens anyway?
They are already stated that they are looking for a solution to fix dungeons after many people want them back. Probably coming at the April’s patch.
It’s not a fail, it just needs tweeks to how npcs react to players and the opposite.
Like the things i mentioned.
Stronghold is the newest addition to sPvP and i think it has a lot of potential but there are some mechanics that makes it unplayable and less fun.
Healing and door breakers.
Door breakers are the most important npc in this mode, keep them alive and you can win easily. Something must be done about this you just blob with them keep one tempest and druid sticking with them and they are invincible. Treb wont do anything to them. You can’t counter this.
Champions. Champions are supposed to change the favor and balance of the game, right now they are almost non existance. They dont make a change to the fight, they die easily, they should make it more important.
Archers. Ok archers are pretty much useless, they dont do almost non existance dmg and they die veeeery easy just for sneazing at them 2-3 AA and they are down.
Ok that’s all the most important for me is the door breakers and healing cause it makes the mode less fun when you can’t do anything to counter this.
Maybe we get a new elite spec next time called “Bishop” or something that has great nuking possibilites….
/s
So you want to revive WvW and bring more people into it….
My suggestions:
1)INCREASE REWARDS!!!!!!
People don’t play that much WvW not because it’s not fun, but because it feels unrewarding.
2)There should be a better motive for people to fight for their servers. Right now what you get isn’t making people even trying to win.
I open the WvW tab now and then and i don’t really care if my server is first or last, or how many points we get, there’s no difference. In the end you get some passive buffs that doesn’t really matter.
3<bonus>)Add EPIC Gigantic Robots/Siege machines to the game.
If you haven’t felt the iching when you where sieged by Siege Golems at L2 you didn’t feel anything!
Now with the guild halls there should be new epic siege gear added to the game, more siege machines to make siegeing a castle more awesome.
………………………………………………………………
That’s it.
Thank you for your time
We’ve seen it from milles away, even after a lot of feedback and complains nothing actually changed.
We now have ele 2.0 which doesn’t even feel more powerful, we just have 1 more skill (overload fire) in the rotation.
We still play staff (like 85% of eles) and it’s pretty much the same class without any meaningful change.
Being super tanky for being viable is not an option for me. Every class can do this.
I prefer dealing dmg.
Thanks for your kind instincts, Xillllix. No worries about your comments or anyone else’s, really.
But let me explain a bit: I wanted to post because by doing so, players who may not have seen a “red post” for a while will be assured that we are actively reading and responding to this question, and that there are no changes in our plans to bring back this well-loved element of the game.
It might be an easy assumption to say “It’s not here today (or it’s not been here in XXX days) therefore it’s never coming.” But that’s truly inaccurate. So an update seems worthwhile, just to remind forum members of our plans for the future.
Sigh your still not giving out the most important info yet…….? Release date??!!!
26 of April. Remember this date.
Just do what 99% of this community does, ignore this content.
Concerns:
Are these the only balance updates we will get till the end of the next pvp season??
Where’s the rest of the scepter buffs for elementalists, is this it?
New shatterer is great, this scale of rework should be done for other major bosses too, make the fights more fun.
Lunar new year doesn’t have a shoulder skin associated with the event, why? Disappointed
Gliding everywhere is awesome too, can’t live without gliding anymore.
Great work with the check-box to see all items, one of the best QOL changes, a little bit late though for my mouse key
Final thoughts, you seriously need to look after fractals cause right now that content is being a bit annoying (especially 50+), maybe remove or rework some instabilities and more daily rewards would be great for higher scales.
Also add a LFR (Looking For Raid) cause it’s being a mess at LFG if you look at Living Story tab.
Ty and keep up the good work.
(edited by Vissarion.6509)
i might go back to zerk staff, or viper scepter, whatever feels more fun.
I hate playing bunker/tanks anyway, 0 fun.
Seriously guys?
All i see the last month every time i try to raid (pugging) is this. A competition between people who has the most is worth to go in.
What if you didn’t raid enough the last couple of months?
What if you start to raid now?
GL with that,
this content every time i try to play it makes me wanna cry, i feel that i waste hours and hours waiting and in the end we can’t kill the bosses.
Like it matters. People try to find the most effective players and still all i see are failed attempts, one after another.
PS: Just to tell you I have done all bosses multiple times, and had a few successful attempts (kills) at VG.
hey guys we have raids to never be able to do cause we dont have a decent LFR channel on the meanwhile
Hey all,
I know that some of you were thinking that we’d be releasing updates to fractals today, but that was not the plan. There’s still a lot of stuff coming in December — this is, after all, only the 1st of the month
-- so hold tight and you’ll see the fractal changes soon!
thank you for the communication, at least it was a bit quick (better late than ever).
But the frustration from many of us waiting for a fix to the rewards is over 9000!!!!!!
If you enjoyed the game back then, you will enjoy it now, there are lots of new stuff to do and raids are one of them, but good luck finding a decent group without a premade
9. So fractals? Currently not worth it in terms of rewards. But at least they will fix it @ december for which I am grateful <3
Do you have information about what’s going to be fixed? can you or someone else point me to the list or something?…please
no list, just some bumping of rewards, we dont know any specifics still, wait till next week
oh and the annoying Tons of touphness/HP after lvl60, scaling lower now.
So after trying with my guild (didn’t even tried to pug it yet..) plenty of times i have to say i am a bit dissapointed. Don’t get me wrong, i like the challenge and i always wanted something harder than current dungeons i am not complaining about hard content here, just getting some straight facts.
The good:
- Legendary armor, you can get them from raids only, and that’s really cool.
- Challenging content, for all those that were looking for challenge into this game, now they have it.
- Class diversity, yes for the first time in GW2 we have specific roles and actual builds that are needed.
The bad:
- DPS race, raids are mostly a dps race, the mechanics are fine, but if you dont get people that know how to do 100% DPS with their class you just cant kill them.
- Rewards, rewards are kinda bad from what i’ve seen til now, you get some gold and maybe exotic gear, etc, but still you are locked behind RNG.
- LFG, you cant LF people to raid like you could for dungeons for example.
- Dissapointment, even after days and days of trying to kill the first boss you are just dissapointing with your fellow teams, maybe after so many tries you should see the light i dont know.
- Organizing, hours of time to organize/find a group, i know that’s something you cant skip, it’s just kinda boring to wait.
The worst:
- Not for everyone, raids are made for those who want challenging content, and that makes everybody else not able to complete them unless they try for days to kill a boss.
- Ignored by most people sooner or later. Hard content without good reward and many many hours and fails after fails will make people dont care for it in a month, i find myself not motivated to try anymore (i know i will keep trying but still), when people cant complete a content they will just ignore it, and that will be the end for raid content for gw2 players. (remember aetherpath how people didn’t care after getting the achievements).
I know that’s not all, there are many other things to be added to the list, if you want just tell in the comments.

Its intended. Once they wrote they will make a wvw version
Link for this?
Is this a bug or intented feature? cause it would really motivate me to play more WvW if i could forget about the pickup function as in pve.
Is it me or does the female voice gives better voiceover overloads?
I mean she did give her soul, while male’s one is not that good (not bad, just a bit worse hearing it).
Dude go play Dragon’s Reach meta and you will find the battle you seek.
The story is supposed to be on the same timing with the meta of this map.
Canach sais that the dragon is busy fighting, means the battle at dragon’s reach.
Even though i love overloads, is the only thing i like about our new specialization.
I was already running the build WP’s suggesting but it feels almost the same elementalist as before (only with the addition of overloads).
oh and PS: Rebound still sucks, worse elite ever :>
You reminded me of one time i was doing COE p1 (advertised as “experienced 80 only”), and at the security room (1-4) an engie started triggering alone all the alarms, one by one, what if i told him and explaining what we can do to bypass 4 waves, he didn’t listen….
At the end i asked him why you do this that way, and he said that he always do it like this because thats the supposed way xD
There is a screenshot on reddit of someone with a 28s time on the leaderboards. I wonder what this person was doing?
This one was the 28s https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/The_Ley-Line_Run
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOG0ZXCgapQ (couldn’t find the actual video)
while the thread is about Sanctum Scramble adventure:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6wSQn26TT4
which i agree i found it was too long for the time limit it asks… nearly impossible.

It’s still too early to judge, give it a month.
I know the new locations look hard to navigate and pretty challenging, but when you unlock masteries traveling become really easy.
Everyone GO WATCH how to train your dragon to see how to make the recipe!!!!!!!!!
There maybe hints in the movie…..!!!!!!!!!
