Guild Wars 2

if you only care about being best at something the game has only 4 classes for you and revenant is not one of them

Number 1
Therthana Lioneye

Honestly, I use mallyx in PvE and I love it…

The healing skill is good.

Banish enchantment is handy when there is a troublesome boon like protection on a mob (modniir )

Unyielding anguish is a gruesome skill that destroy pack of mobs in a few second and is sadly more reliable than searing fissure atm. This is a necromancer well with no CD… What else?

Pain absorbtion and embrace the darkness are more situational which is fine in itself.

So yeah, I think mallyx is pretty good in it’s actual shape.

Question 1) what situation do you use EtD for? It looks amazing but isn’t practical.
Question 2) have you used Jalis? He does the same thing and more.

I also don’t know why UA is just a well of suffering with no CD. It’s not worth taking an entire legend for a utility skill.

Well EtD gives you that 10% stat boost too and it think it pulses more torment than UA before the the energy upkeep goes over 30 which is what UA costs

because revenant was rushed and has tons of bugs to fix

imo embrace the darkness is too similar to unyielding anguish and the traits make no sense as you said. However i do think pain absorption is amazing and banish enchantment has its uses too. I mean Shiro only has 1 useful skill in pve and is very selfish legend and its “mandatory”

He only has 1 skill that directly increases DPS, but Shiro actually has several useful utilities. The Heal does more damage, the Stun Break is awesome for solos and trash runs, phase traversal is great for moving around the map and gap closing, Impossible Odds is crazy, and Jade Wings is good for dealing with Break Bars.

What does Mallyx have? Banish Enchantment for very specific encounters and EtD for that 10% stat boost.

Yeah i forgot the heal also deals damage. that is pretty good. However how often will you phase traversal or riposting shadows in dungeon/raid scenario? Jade winds is also just a normal stun and costs 50 energy, Jalis and staff 5 are much better and cost effective ways to destroy break bars.

He is probably the best legend for the current “stack in the corner dps meta” but outside of that he really offers nothing to the party and is honestly..quite boring to play. but that is just my opinion :P

I think you’re underestimating Shiro. Riposting Shadows is basically a “Get out of Jail Free” ability. Stunbreak, evade, cleanses cripple/chill, and a movement skill. Seem very useful for getting out of nasty combo fields like in the Snowblind Fractal.

Phase Transversal is situational, certainly.

You also have access to Staff with Shiro.

Yes my point with the staff was that you really dont want to waste 50 energy to do minor break bar damage when you could just use staff or jalis taunt to do more for less energy.
Riposting shadows is like lightning reflexes on ranger which no1 ever used in pve but since its forced on you with revenant i guess its decent enough since you really cant use anything else over it.

But again my biggest problem with shiro is that it offers nothing to your team. Rangers and necros were not used in dungeons because they lacked meaningful group support so as old ranger main i dont know why everyone thinks shiro is so amazing. Atleast malyx can save your party from conditions if they are dumb enough to have 0 cleanses

yeah the taunt is probably best defiance bar breaker in the game, however the taunt effect itself is far too short even with the trait to be of any use. Most mobs attack animations are longer than those 4 seconds

yeah the devs were informed of this countless times since the second beta and they ignored it /= lazy

DresdenAllblack.1249:

I feel you Cronie, but the hammer rocks. Tried it in BWE1 and it’s been crazy glued there ever since.

Hammer is freaking amazing but we could really use ranged condition weapon /= well i doubt we will get it anymore now that the expansion is live

leave the instance and go back in. fixed it for me

I wonder if Anet even realizes that a very large portion of their playerbase is not only unimpressed, but pretty kitten ed unhappy with the expansion.

Oh they do. Should check out the main topic under heart of thorns discussion .
Elite Specializations & Hero Point Feedback [Merged].

over 50k views and 2k posts and most are negative and critical solutions out of this mess.

At this point I think the moderator is just having a hard time keeping up with all the new topics that are really the same topic. Hero point system for elites is not fun.

its the vocal minority again while the majority are having fun in the game. dust will settle in 2 weeks

Anet have played too much cs go

Step one: Use Jalis and mace and or hammer
Step two: Cast Inspiring Reinforcement
Step three: Blast the field with your weapons skills.
Step four: repeat this few times.

You now have perma swiftness

So what you want for your endgame then?People complain about masteries,about grinding… now you complain about specs…What is good endgame for you?Let me guess,Rping in LA?

New dunegoens with proper difficulty scaling and rewards?
Raids?
New PvP modes?

Locking a spec that players want to try out behind a hellish grind is not end-game , no matter how you look at it.
Man, just imagine a casual player(normal adult) having 2-3 hours of playtime after work. How much time it will take him to do it for say, 3 characters?

Meh its not that bad. masteries are account bound after all so it will be much easier to get hero points on your other characters

ranged condition weapon, racial skills (especially my mistfire wolf) and the lack of greatsword. But i’ll get over it

staff 5 would fit as a leap finisher imo but its already so strong /=

If you havent noticed mesmers and thiefs have had the same thing for years now.

only on ranger forums you find people actually saying their class is op and needs a nerf… XD

Levetty.1279:

Lome.8239:

Did this thread really happen?

Of course they’ll be on top of this for Druid, as they have been for every other class.

Mesmers Spatial Surge would like to talk to you.

Spatial surge is greatsword skill and greatswords don’t shoot things when you use them unlike bifrost, , kudzu, dreamer ect ect

100+ fps normally but drops down to 20-30 in world bosses. quite annoying /=

70% is bs but yeah not many people were happy

mmh quite. just 2 days ago people were crying bout how underpowered longbow was and now when we have 1 skill that can compete with other classes its suddenly op.

logic. how about another hundred blades nerf?

didnt they promise precursor crafting over half a year ago? good going anet

best: character customisation, musics, most characters are pretty decent, asuras are cute ect ect

worst: pretty much everything in the combat system….and the community

Elixir-Infused Bombs

this is really old news tbh. and for the record i rather grind keys than stand in la doing nothing for 5 hours a day.

whew. i was wondering if eles were really this weak but it was just few veterans that could have one hitted a warrior

No. That is all

been playing since launch and have not seen single hacker and only few bots. weird. or its just that aurora glade is awesome :P

you can only get exotics from world events if you are lvl 62+ BUT you can also get exotic items from champion bags even at lvl 2.

Subdue.5479:

The recipes were tradeable since they were released, though there was a bug that prevented them from showing on the TP. That bug was fixed at most a few days after they were released though.

Hmm…but there was no sell option on my recipes even after they “fixed” the bug

yeah welcome to mmorpgs. thats what they kinda are. (and gw2 is the least grindiest of them all)

mesmer 15k health, necromancer 30k. meanwhile thief and guardian 10k.

you would have a point if there was anything to gain by leveling up. fighting claw of jormag is hardly more fun than shatterer. and no it wasnt fast for me. took me 460 days XD (deleted my characters all the time)

apparently this is a thing now…. look its so easy to level up already. you can get to 80 in a day kitten . and besides the game doesnt get anymore fun when you hit 80 anyways so you might aswell give up now

currently making my own celestial gear aswell. what i’v seen in forums people usually recommend elementalist, engineer and maybe guardian. but yeah go with elementalist

not sure if anyone has asked this before but could this work in pve too? I know its pvp build but I like the idea and I don’t enjoy pvp that much.

Good work “Salamander” :P

7/10. clever

Sylvari necro Vaniilya. Nothing else to say about it

Ok my first suggestion. Here we go. And sorry for any misspells

This is mainly for pvm.

So lets get down to business. i think downed state makes the game too easy. I think 5 downs before you die is way too powerfull. This doesnt really matter if you’re playing solo (unless you’re a ranger) but boss fights are a joke.

For example: 20 people at fire elemental. The elemental downs 3 guys. they get revieved. Then they die again and get revieved again and again and yet again. There is no way the boss could kill them 5 times before the fight ends.

Another problem is ranger. You can tank almost anything while downed using lick wounds (when it works) and get revieved. I can be hammered by a boss or 5 minions and my health would still go up slowly. Now i dont want lick wounds to be nerfed. That would only make it underpowered.

So my idea is to give everyone 1 downed state before they die. If you die again you’re dead. This would allow bosses and other mobs to slowly decrease the number of people by killing them and make the fight harder for the rest of the team.

To counter this there should be something like rune of revive. Or just rework rune of mercy.

The effects would be something like this:
(1): Revive allies 10% faster
(2): You have 2 downed states before dying
(3): Take less damage when reviving allies
(4): You don’t lose health while in downed state
(5): Revive allies 15% faster
(6): You have 3 downed states before dying.

Let me know what you think about this.

7/10 sounds bit like pop star tbh. but i really like the name spellsinger

My alt is called Liale Burlund. got those names from rpg name generator and it sounded funny so yeah.

8/10 nice medival sounding name imo.

My support elementalist is called Sanctus Auxilior which is latin and means holy helper or healer.

i might just be bad but i get destroyed by these on my mesmer. i just cant win against 10 of those -.-

got my gold dye from golden moa. was pretty funny not that rare though

are you kidding me….i had over 60k karma by lvl 40. maybe because i did every single event and i didnt spent it but still how can you NOT get 10k karma by lvl 40
