The main problem with mantras is that you won’t hit any friend of your party.
The enemy is in front of you but all your allies stand next or behind you. So how do you want to give them aegis, stability, condition cleanse, quickness,…?They don’t need more range, they need to be a 360 AoE.
Turn your character and get as many as you can? I see a lot of people bringing this up and there are other games that have this mechanic and this is what you do, back up a little and turn then go back to dps.
Running behind the meta no matter how repetitive, boring or bad looking it is for you is a terrible mindset to have. (Specially if you convince yourself that is what it means to do the best you can).
Why would I play a video game if I’m not having fun?
if the animations really bother you, just use grenades any time you would camp bomb kit and it’s only a small dps loss and you also get range. however, letting something as silly as animations get in the way of you doing the best you can in challenging content isn’t really a great mindset to have.
I just believe in doing the best that I can while also enjoying my character. I know its not a popular idea but if I really can’t stand the way my character looks while I am playing, then I can’t really say I enjoy playing them. People have been doing high lvl content with sub optimal builds for a while so I’m not really worried about that.
I just don’t like that my character looks like he’s taking a deuce every few seconds.
Is there a power build that would work in high lvl fractals that doesn’t involve camping the bomb kit? I’m new to engi and I just can’t stand that the main attack animation I see is squatting down and placing a big bomb lol.
Condi thief can work quite well. Consider throwing in some HP trinkets (Dire-Rabid) and weapons for more survivability.
There are D/D and D/P condi builds, which can use Dagger Training to create significant poison damage, and P/D builds which have the greatest variety of base condition access and have the advantage of providing pressure from range.
In PvE venomshare, which is what I use in all game modes, is quite viable because the share radius doesn’t matter when everyone is beating on a mob together. You can easily get bursts of DPS from sharing poison that will be impressive in their own right.
Do you use the build that is on meta battle?
So I originally started out playing a condi ranger, so I got a bunch of vipers ascended gear from the ranked PVP rewards. Currently it is bugged (so a GM tells me in a support ticket) that you can’t change the pvp gear in the forge. I am not really liking the ranger right now and Id love to play my thief.
So for things like fractals and open world, could a condi thief still be ok? I was not playing one when the nerf hit last year so I’m not sure how bad it is now. What do you all think?
Actually I find the SC Druid that was posted on reddit to be a fun mix of damage and healing. If you think being a druid means always staying in staff with healing gear then you are not thinking out of the box.
The post says for raids but I use it for fractals and occasional pvp.
