As expected, Robert’s ones are stomping all over Karl’s horrible ones.
aren’t all of the specialisations created by everyone in that dedicated team?
I’m a bit surprised that Tempest ist last, even behind Dragonhunter…
They are primarily designed by one dude i believe
But not in a vaccuum. It would be weird if they don’t talk about their ideas internally with eachother.
They probably all look over it, but one is definitely in charge of each one. Karl does the Guardian, Elementalist and Thief, while Robert does the Mesmer and Necro. The similar horribleness of the Guardian and Ele specs demonstrate that they are not just in charge of introducing the specs.
I was shocked when they guy said “as an ele its difficult to stay alive”, who tests this things, do they even play the game, like at all?, ever swing by the pvp forums?.
You mean the Celestial build that takes 8 defensive traits and all defensive Cantrips? That PvP build?
Unless everything is specced for defense, eles just melt. Which is why the Tempest sucks.
Not sure why you think it is acceptable for the traits to be spread throughout 6 different lines, especially seeing as Water and Tempest are mandatory. 4 would be much better.
They are literally in every single line.
It is a pity Karl is so bad at his job and spread the aura talents throughtout every single Traitline. Not being able to get the Earth protection trait or Arcane res trait sucks.
Karl’s traits are just horrible. That water vigour one alone should have gotten him fired.
This would be nice. However, we do not need a beta to see that the Tempest elite skill and traits are horrible.
The elite really sucks. So do the traits. Karl failed us again.
“Fire burns!”
Wow…they really killed this thread. Nearly 1500 posts merged into a complete mess.
oceanic ping has nothing to do with code. They don’t house servers from over there so its only natural some of the packets get lost or take awhile to ping back to you.
It is entirely to do with their code. This does not happen in other games. These skills, and all of sanctum sprint, cannot handle the higher ping. Their code sucks.
It is Anet’s horrible code. Try doing Sanctum Sprint with an Oceanic ping…
Burning Retreat became bugged like this when they overhauled it.
nice try cowboy, you had almost 300 ping in that video
And? Is every Oceanic player to be punished because of Anet’s horrible code?
Both of these skills are bugged.
There are crackpot theories posted every day.
Then there is this garbage.
Thank you for saying I am garbage. When it really happens, I hope you will eat it.
Anyways, it is just my concerns ok. If you think it is garbage, cool. Fine with me as long as I get to say what I want to say. Garbage or not.
He did not call you garbage.
I hope some PC Sylvari do turn, as we get closer to Mordremoth. It would make sense AND will be fun.
So it is pretty much dagger MH only. I seriously think Karl forgot that eles can even use a sceptre…
Tempest is a good name. Please do not link it to the abomination that is Dragonhunter.
8 fire shields. All with 2 minute cooldowns.
And once again: Elite Specs is not the only thing coming with the expansion.
Are you trolling? People obviously want to know these specs so they can sort out gear/builds/theory and have some fun, yet you spam this rubbish in every single thread.
You should pinch instead.
Of course it is a bug, and you use auto-targeting in PvE to tag things.
This helps greatly:

However, it will take quite a bit to pay off.
So to simplify this…..
You don’t like reflect because you shoot yourself to death?
Pretty much. His posts are mostly all in the Ranger forums.
I think they need to add some XxX’s and 666’s to the name. That will make it more hip.
They killed their own hype…
Yeah…the auto-attacks all suck.
Levelling serves no purpose other than to waste players’ time in my opinion. Bring on the tomes.
Fixed that for ya dude…not everyone plays the same as you.
No, you did not fix it. You ruined it by adding a redundant statement. Of course it is his opinion. Do you honestly expect everyone to add IN MY OPINION to absolutely everything they type?
I would say that the NPE is ruining the experience more than tomes of knowledge. Locking veteran players out of fundamental mechanics turns leveling into more of a laborious chore for vets than for many new players.
This.
Anet just need a QA department.
So there were many Elementalists who went out and acquired swords, some even getting Bolt…
Well, turns out it is more likely warhorn for eles. But who knows!? Anet may change it to torch for the lols…
Well they changed it so we can open the bag in PvP. I guess they do listen sometimes.
Upscale mobs, not players. 90% of the problem solved instantly as most players are level 80 anyway.
That would not work at all…
Anyway, Anet went too far with the downscaling. Downscaling os good, but full ascended should not be out-done in damage by a new player leveling.
Fix please.
They don’t want you to buy skins.. they want you to buy keys for a % chance at a ticket scrap for a skin.
Guardians, Rangers, Engineers, Mesmers and Necros will be buying skins…
But yeah, the whole black lion chest thing is just profitting off gambling problems. It is not cool.
Zhaitan says yes.
You keep releasing new skins, yet you have not even told us what new weapon warriors, elementalists, and thieves are getting. It is very unfair to these three professions, as we have to either guess, or pay a massive premium on them later.
Without reading through all the comments, I hope someone remembered that Ele getting an offhand is actually 8 new skills (possibly 10 if they add another atune). Which is more than any other class… Don’t really know why people are surprised they went with an offhand.
So eles will never get a mainhand or two-hander? Nice logic. Ele skills also tend to be weaker when directly compared to other professions.
You’re the one drawing that conclusion. ArenaNet why would pick warhorn with ONE of the reasons being that it’s less skills to design isn’t not even bad logic. To assume they’re going to use that argument every time they make a new specialisation is just silly.
That was my ENTIRE POINT. Anet would not use that to pick a weapon for eles, because then eles would never get a mainhand or two-hander. I thought it was pretty obvious that my ‘nice logic’ was sarcasm directed at that poster…
And my point was that they definitely could use that argument as a factor in their deciding methods. Just not as sole main one as proven that there are in fact sword skills data mined as well. I didn’t miss your sarcasm, except that it was directed at logic of your explanation or conclusion of the post rather than what he actually said. Which was a bit funny.
You need to re-read what you initially posted.

Because a bag is something you notice. If you would only get 3 spirit shards, you could easily overlook it and think that you didn’t get anything.
And if there is one thing ANet doesn’t want to do, then it’s confusing its (new) players. See NPE changes.
Ha…
A bouncing chest with a 3 shard reward screen should be enough. But I guess not.
You should not respond to mini-equine. The dragonhunter name thread showed that he will defend anything Anet does.
On topic, this really needs to be fixed. Downscaling is good, but this is too extreme.
Sounds like they messed up.
Newbies are ALSO DOWNSCALED PEOPLE. You do not immediately move to a zone your exact level, every single time you level…
They need to give you time to get back. Everything else is needlessly complicated.
Why not just the 3 spirit shards, instead of a bag we have to open containing 3 shards? It is really annoying having to zone out of PvP to open this.
Demon Hunters actually hunt demons, using demonic powers. Mana burn, immolation and Metamorphosis are all demonic abilities, which they use to actully hunt and KILL demons.
Hunting and killing Elder Dragons, with traps and a bow? Give me a break…
I would like to see all the specialisations before I buy HoT. Might not buy it if the Tempest is as bad as the Dragonhunter.
Anyone else holding off, waiting for more information?
It makes burning on staff sorta function. It’s so low compared to d/d that it makes you realize how much Staff needs improvements.
d/d is high risk high reward. Staff is like low risk and high reward all things considered.
What? Only in PvE.
Yeah, all the auto-attacks suck.
Celestial gear is bad, and making profit from charged quartz is a pipedream. People are NOT going to suddenly make a rush at quartz, and some market is NOT going to crash if Celestial is not timegated.
There is no reason to keep the timegate.
