[Build]: Glamourous Medic

I’d choose Illusionary persona or something instead of Blinding Befuddlement, the latest nerf to that skill defeats the whole synergy of the two traits. (Blind on glamour, confusion on blind) Having 1 stack of confusion every 5 seconds isn’t just worth it.

A feedback request.

Try to work around it, either step into feedback yourself or kite around so the opponent has to focus on moving out of the circle instead of killing you. (Also try to use focus 4 and/or GS 5 to pull them back)

Piken Square Vs Gandara Vs Augury Rock x3!

to much qq ing from all sides about blobing and zerging. the thing is , we ( piken ) saw wat real blobing is , and decided that is not fun. so willingly dropped a tier , lost to many guilds. and still fighting. this 3 week match up is faaaaar more entertaining than the blob wars in t2.

piken square

I don’t know about you guys, but every time we fight AR there is 5 second delay on skills, and that’s not even in stonemist, not the massive three-way fights, but just clashing with AR blob. People are gonna whine about zergs anyways and right know it’s justified because the amounts of people AR rolls with is ridiculous and if we have to use the same numbers it’s just not going to be fun because no one likes to spam 1 and hope it will do some damage in the near future.

Gandara Vs Arborstone Vs Augury Rock (Tier 4)

My first days as a Gandarian have been fantastic.

Sometimes you shock yourself after fought VZ in tier 1, like first night when we went with a 8 man team with zerg killing mode on, somone Shout “Zerg inc location x”. Ok comming….everyone get ready, stealth, escape portals up, time warp x 2 ready, blow everything!!! and 3 2 1 BANG spazzz wamp pow bang splat…. at our feet is a 10-12 man group wery dead, half low lvl,s who still have terror in their eyes…. where is the 60 man + zerg we expected?

Anyway, seen some extremly skilled players in this tier so far, guess its cause its more room for tactic, just as we want it. AR smal morning roaming team, /bow, some nice dmg and speed you got. Cheers, ty for a warm wellcome Gandara, rest, cya in the War.

It’s probably because when seeing around 15 players and when you need to call it out quickly, we tend to exaggerate because think of the people who haven’t loaded yet!

Also welcome to Gandara, I actually made myself a mesmer because of your guides.

Downed state in WvWvW should be removed

in WvW

I kind of agree with downed state removal. (And this is coming from an Elementalist)

The problem is that if you defend/attack something with 1:2 odds it’s almost impossible to fully kill anyone (firstly the 5 target aoe limit on most spells is just stupid, but this is not the time nor the place fir this rant).
I’ve had a lot of fights where there over 4 people downed but there wasnt just any way to kill them due to always someone ressing or someone with stun or other form of cc there. (yes, I’m aware that you can waste skill slots to kill one enemy if it isn’t an ele/thief/mesmer.)

Particle Effect Daggers, for you Ele...

Destroyer daggers have particle effects also, don’t really like how they look though.
What makes me sad is that for a game that boasts that the only difference in gear is the looks there aren’t any daggers in the mystic forge besides the two icicles.

Here’s the pics of the daggers though

Cloth class profession with least AOE?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: nbikz.2708

nbikz.2708

If you play an Elementalist with a dagger in each hand, you will not have any AOE skills to speak of (unless you pick AOE skills for the rest of your bar).

What? D/D has like 14 skills that are at least somewhat AoE.

Good patch changes

in Elementalist

Magnetic grasp was still bugged the one time i tried it in PVE, Dragon’s tooth isn’t a combo finisher now, instead of fixing skills as they are supposed to be, they changed the tooltips as they are now, feels pretty bad, man.

Fix Mist form with cantrip mastery

in Elementalist

Posted by: nbikz.2708

nbikz.2708

My bad, might have overreacted a bit, but it’s still annoying that for example, Ride the Lightning is very bugged at the moment. (Sometimes just standing still in the middle of usage, aura doesn’t grant buffs while in the middle of lightning)
Also, there is a trait that does absolutely nothing at the moment, how did it get through and still not get fixed is beyond my understanding. (The dagger movement speed one, just doesn’t work)

Given the reported fixes to ranger and engys next patch it looks like Eles are at the bottom of their list of priorities.

Do any of the devs play an Ele?

Do you play anything other than an Ele?

As it stands, Necromancers, Rangers and Engineers are in the worst state of things (between bugged/broken traits and class features). Elementalists may have a handful of issues, but there are higher priorities right now.

I play both ranger and engineer as well, IMHO Ele is as much of a priority as those 2.

There’s nothing to be said for people who are biased toward their own preferences.

Yeah, it’s not like there are over 40 somehow bugged skills and about 20 traits.

Night Capping and YOU

in WvW

Posted by: nbikz.2708

People need to realize, there is no such thing as pure night capping. You’re playing on a server that anyone from all around the world could be playing on. Your perception of ‘night time”, IS their daytime. To others… you are the night cappers. Understand?

Well the problem for us at Gandara at the moment is that we are against two French servers. While we have people during the day (EU server, so I’m going by the general European timezones) both of the French servers have a lot of people online 24/7, there are 40+ man zergs capping going on on 3-4 maps at the same time at 4+ AM.
