The truth is that HoT didn’t deliver what it promised across many fronts. I feel like I was sold a product that is deficient; like the 500 horse power car I ordered is actually a refurbished golf cart. Farming events on maps to level up masteries so I can farm more events is a horrible system. I love getting new areas to explore in games, but three new maps that exist only for events? The story to defeat Mordremoth was short, generic, and forgettable. The ONLY reason I have to go to HoT maps is for hero points to get elite specs on my characters for WvW.
I know it is more likely that AN will release the promised full set of new legendary weapons than my request for a refund be fulfilled; but Heart of Thorns simply does not merit Arena Net keeping my money.
i love d/d conditions build with p/p as the second set. 30 points into deadly arts, 30 into trickery, and 10 into crit. it’s useful for both pvp and pve. the short bow has more mobility, but the pistols put out more damage if you’re forced to fight at range, or gun down someone who is running away. i went with the undead set because it provides survivability and condition damage with a carrion amulet.
as for traits, i use mug, +5% damage with daggers and +5% with dual skills. pistol mastery, then caltrops, bountiful theft, and thrill of the crime.
the idea is db spam, then steal to them dodge for caltrops, more db, then heartseeker them down, or pistols if they run. if it’s a big group i’ll pop dancing daggers
i wonder if the prefix of “42” as an error code was meant to be a reference to the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. i was hoping to get a dozen levels or more, but downtime has foiled my plans. i’ve been compulsively clicking the login button for hours, lol.
i still can’t log in. i turned off my firewall (even though i’ve had gw2 as an exception from when i installed the game) just to make sure, turned avg off, still nothing. it can’t be from my end. 42:0:9001:4081 it’s been down for around 7 hours
