Are you serious? Soulbeast is a good class. People don’t know how to play the new specs and that’s why people say that they suck. You need alot of practice. No one could play the tempest on day one.

So Soulbeast needs a lot of practice for players to see that it’s good but Holosmith and Deadeye (only mentioning two brought up in this thread) don’t need a lot of practice for people to rave about them? Still doesn’t sound very good.

I have killed many Deadeyes and they were not good. I have only seen 1 or 2 good Deadeyes. It depends on the player playing.. a core ranger can be better than Holosmith. It depends on your skill as a player. But I am disappointed with the merge ability and how you should just spam three skills and then go out of beastmode.

If no one have noticed there is a reward for doing dailies now that gives mastery points if you have enough scraps. Awesome!

I see them in every game I play. Always 2-3 in the same team and they are insane. They block constantly, traps, sick condi and you can’t do much against them.

I agree with that masteries should not be locked behind gold reward. At gold reward you should be rewarded with a title. The mastery should be a reward for silver at highest.

My berserker build does damage even if I lay down nearly dead (phantasms). You are missing there a lot of things.

That’s only mesmer. Look at any other berserker class and you can’t.

I enjoyed the adventures and they are a fun addition. Everything don’t have to be action oriented.

I think that people that own HoT will have an advantage. They can unlock the elite spec faster as they can gather HP in HoT and save them for PoF.

Condi builds are OP as you can get power, precision, ferociy and condi dps at the same time. Why even go berserker when you can get it all with conditions? plus when you go condition your enemy will need condi cleanse, and you do dps when you are away from the enemy or cced etc. A pure berserker can’t do dps while away or cced. As a condi dps you also get conditions that kitten up your enemy in many ways. A berserker can’t do that.

Remove berserker stats. Revamp the traits and skills. Make everything condi based.

Thank you.

Druid is not the best spec for dps. Core ranger still have much better dps than druid.
I have no idea about Soulbeast, but it seems like it will give Ranger that thief/warrior melee dps.

I love the mounts in GW2. They add alot to the game and they are fun to use and navigate through the desert. There are always haters everytime.. same when HoT released and everyone hated the 3 layer maps because they think earth is flat xD

Only tried raptor so far yet.. and can’t imagine how fun the other mounts will be.

I created a build I like to play and it works well in both PvP and PvE. Especially PvP!
The layout below is for PvP, but with some changes it is also good for PvE.

TRAITS
Markmanship – 2/3/2
Skirmisher – 2/2/3
Beastmastery – 2/2/2

WEAPONS
GS – S/W

PETS
Raven / White Raven

RUNES/SIGILS
Amulet – Berserker
Armor – Rune of Hoelbrak
GS – Sigil of Courage/Sigil of Battle
S/W – Sigil of Annulment/Sigil of Cleansing

SKILLS
Healing – We Heal As One!
Utility 1 – Signet of the Wild/Muddy Terrain
Utility 2 – Lightning Reflexes
Utility 3 – Quickening Zephyr
Elite Skill – Strenght of the Pack!

Let me know if you have any tips on how to improve the build. I could see it to have more interrupts to gain more Attack of Opportunity, though ranger doesn’t have much interrupts.

When I select character and press play I only get to the loading screen and then Network Error. What is this?

I tried to take bounties fro mthe board. Could not take any.

Best one I have ever found that is always updated is found here:

Interesting. I’ve heard the new maps are big. We can see the first map of the new expansion at least and compare it to the size of the old maps.

The zone in the beta is not the full zone though. Some places are restricted.

Hello! I have had a magic carpet since the first time it sold and gliders didn’t exist. Can i turn it into a glider somehow, or do I have to buy it again?

I don’t really understand the hate for the trinity or mounts. The trinity is not even like in WoW and it’s very different. The mounts will be a mastery and different than mounts in other games. Why so much hate

Never mind. Seems you only get it from weapons dropped from the bosses and not the chests you buy for magnetite shards.

Hello! I salvaged an ascended raid armor piece but I got no magnetite shards back like I should. What’s wrong?

ArenaNet hates addons so you will not see stuff happening with the UI etc. The only reason that I like ESO is because of their support for addons. If ArenaNet had more openess for addons that would be great. They increase the quality of the game. As long as it isn’t gamebreaking.

I am pretty sure that Spellbreaker will be like a paragon. You will not see new weapon types, forget that. They will play around with the existing weapons.

Are addons like arcdps ok to use without getting banned? I just want to see my dps and compare different builds to see which one is best.

Seriously? another trenchcoat? Is that all you can manage at ArenaNet. Can you do a slim armor that is tight to the body and looks fit for war. I’m not cinderella for kittens sake.

Ayrilana.1396:

So Anet decides that Revs provide too many stacks of might to groups so they nerf the max number of stacks that a Rev can generate to 6. Groups then take two Revs. Anet needs it again to just 3 stacks so players had more Revs.

Just because players add more of a class to compensate for a nerf doesn’t make said nerf ineffective.

Revtastic.

ArenaNet is nerfing for the worst reaso nand they fail at doing it. Do they love a comp of tempests, chronos, ps warr and druids or what?

To tank as a mesmer as effectively as possible you need to farm runes of leadership for 3 months and spend much much more gold on commander’s, doubloons etc than other classes. Kind of a joke.

It’s useless now. Change it back into the old Signet of Inspiration.

Alot of utilities and elite skills are not used or needed because they have a too long cool down or are too uneffecient.

ArenaNet should had adressed this a long time ago but they haven’t. Why? Because diversity of builds are negated by the meta builds. As long as more dps is more attractive than a mass aoe cc, then that will be so.

If ArenaNet introduced a raid encounter that require you to use aoe cc then you will need something like “fear me!”. Unlikely that it will be introduced or even chosen my the meta builders it it was introduced. They would find another way.

Though build diversity is great in pvp and casual pve.

We need a spinning monkey tail glider. A monkey sitting on your back with its tail spinning very fast that it makes you fly.

The armor already animates, now you want 6 different versions?

The legendary armor in the video looks like a basic armor with a cool combat animation. My idea is for future legendary upgrades/customization options. So over time the legendary armor can have different evolutions, different themes.

For example when we defeat Primordus we can collect different items, magic and stuff to create a legendary evolution of Primordus. It still requires legendary amount of time and skill to aquire the evolution.

When another legendary enemy is slain you will have the chance to collect stuff to gain a new evolution for that specific enemy. A good idea would be an evolution for each legendary dragon.

Hopefully the legendary armor in the video preview is only the basic version. I have an idea for the legendary armor. Let the armor evolve as you continue your journey in GW2 and as new expansions and content release.

The evolutions have different themes and transforms your character so you feel totally different. Kind of like when Guts in Berserk activates his armor or when Ichigo in bleach goes into Vasto Lord mode.

There could be a transformation for each dragon, the human gods and other powerful enemies. Imagine if your armor transformed into something like Primordus-ish. Become the dragon.

Legendary kitten. Make it happen.

Seriously who cares about winning in WvW anyway? Everytime I’m in WvW no one takes it seriously and everyone runs in a main zerg with a commander to conquer castles etc to get xp and some rewards. It’s not like they play WvW to win and just obliterate the other worlds.

WvW is a joke so stop trying to balance it when it doesn’t needs balancing.

What we need for classes in GW2 is everything. Let any class be able to stack 25 might and let any class boon share and keep the boons up 24/7. Problem fixed.

I like to use mantras in my build but they need an elite skill to complement the utility mantras.

Mantra of Fate

- Activating Mantra of Fate curses all enemies in an area around you. The curse makes the mesmer invulnerable to the enemy’s next attack and deals xxx damage to the enemy.

It needs to stop. If you can link enough KP it’s enough proof that you have killed the boss multiple times and have the experience for that specific raid boss. Linking Li makes no sense as people could have bought raid runs or killed all other bosses except the boss you’re needed for.

Stop with Li requirement. It’s the cancer of the raiding community and their mentality. I’ve seen good raid players but this kind of mentality is an abomination. ArenaNet needs to do soemthing about it.

Definitely. ESO for example is a mess..

I agree that ArenaNet should globalise GW2. This is a goldmine for ArenaNet and NcSoft.
Add a few more languages.

- Japanese
- Korean
-Italian
- Thai
- Russian

Wow. ArenaNet just killed Revenant and made it kittenty in PvE. Good job… not.

Leather can not be collected from nodes like iron, wood or plants. That’s a huge misstep. Why can’t it be gathered directly from dead animals?
If they let us gather leather from dead animals the economy of leather would be normalized. It would also add one more harvesting item in the gem store for them to sell and increase the company’s income.

If they can’t add this within 1 year they have failed as a company.

Try this: Buy lv 80 leather mastercrafted up to 80% the value of Ectos, Mass salvage it all and sell ectos to break even(ish). Keep leather and enjoy the 100% price discount

Thank you for the tip. I make more money by salvaging the ecto though, so might be worth it.

mtpelion.4562:

If you want leather, you can farm it yourself (best targeted method is Orr event chains) or sell other materials and buy it from the people who are farming it.

Game economies exist because you are not expected to be able to supply all of your own demand because this is a multiplayer game.

It’s ArenaNet’s fault for having such a low droprate of the item in the first place. They have to solve this issue. The worst part of the leather is that you need it to reach 500 in armorsmith. The price discourage people from even wanting to level it up. This results in a bad image for the game and for the company and their decisions.

OriOri.8724:

They literally just said a day ago that they are going to stop interfering with the economy and let it sort itself out. We just lost any chance we would have had of ANet actually fixing the leather market

That’s insane. How would leather fix itself when it’s all ArenaNet’s fault? it’s the drop rate that is the problem. How can we as players change that? We can’t change the code, as we don’t have the authority to do so.

I don’t mean they have to manipulate every item in the game, but when something is as severe as this and they just let it be, then it’s a sign that they don’t care about their game and their players.

Increase the drop rate and chance from salvage so this joke of a crafting material can go down in price. It’s time you start manipulating the economy ArenaNet. You have the power to do so, so just do the right thing.

26s is too much. 8s as most would be acceptable.

Nordom.3485:

you can salvage them to almost the same result (in case you didn’t know); any salvaged raid ascended item will give you back 60 shards

A two-handed is worth 600 and not 60. If I only get 60 back it’s not worth it. I’ll use it to gear up an alt I don’t really care about.

Hi! I have a suggestion for the ascended weapons in the raids. Let us exchange a weapon for magnetite shard so we can chose which one we want. Right now I got a chest and a two-handed sword that I don’t really need. Would like to be able to exchange it for another weapon or ascended armor.

It would be fun if ArenaNet introdocued a new currency and replaced plastic fangs for this Halloween. Wow that person who invested 30k would be so miserable.

JaddynnStarr.5201:

aaaaaaand now you just stumbled upon their true intentions…. waste as much time as possible, so that you stay in game longer and have to come back more often, and buy more gems to speed the process up! DING DING DING!!!!!!

I will never spend cash on TP summon. Maybe for increased bag space or some cool skin, but that’s it. I will waste 1 minute everytime I go to LA.

Why? Now we need to go to LA to get some food, utility or whatever. The loading time in LA is minimum 30 seconds. It’s just a waste of time.

Glitter dyes would be very expensive on the TP. Imagine 300g+ for one dye.

Ok thank you. I will look.

Can we ever buy more of these slots in the gem store? I would like 1 for each harvesting tool + magic carpet + teleport scroll and maybe something else. So at least 5 shared inventory slots.

It’s needed and I would spend 500 gems for each slot, or myabe even 800 gems.
