scorpion wire is amazing. poison/cluster combo for aoe weakness is amazing (halves affected targets’ damage). Stealth combo fields are ok. Smoke screen is fantastic. Finally, rogues move faster than ANY OTHER CLASS. Hands down. 25% movement at all times + swiftness on evade + shortbow teleport. How can you say that thieves don’t have a unique role to play in wvw?
So for the most part, ground effect aoes aren’t bad. They’re a bit harder to see than other games with similar mechanics (secret world and tera for example) but it’s generally not a problem… except in dungeons and close quarters. There have been many times in close quarters combat where my camera gets caught on something and is crazy zoomed so that I can’t see the red circle from AOEs. Also, sometimes the red circle will get lost in terrain or walls. Is there a feature already available to make AOEs more visible? Or is this something that needs to be on my dev wish list?
Dust is for making invisible boxes (gear bags that you can’t vendor out of) If you’re just looking to level to 400, I would recommend doing it with something cheap like claws.
eupholax’s idea is great for levels 20-60, but the scaling starts to blow as you get closer to 80. I’ve done a lot of WvW and some pve dungeons at 80, and I’m really digging tactics with healing shouts.
