This question has been asked and answered multiple times already. Anet has already directly stated that they will not be adding any more base classes. There are no “thoughts” to be had about it.
Condition stacks were increased to 1500 maximum stacks a long time ago. 1500 bleed stacks, 1500 burn stacks, 1500 poison stacks, etc. There’s no need to do what you’re asking. You have to be coming back from a LONG hiatus from the game to not know that.
People in Norway are free to bring their dire grievances to the united nations council, I’m sure they’ll drop everything they’re doing and get right on this earth shattering atrocity!
Lol I was doing the same thing earlier. Every single class forum is full of people who all say their new elite class sucks and is by far the worst (except maybe elementalist, but even then I saw a few people saying its bad). If every class is the worst class then… balance?
Maul is currently consuming its own AOO on hit in beastmode. Not sure if this is how its intended to behave or not.
Maul is consuming the AOO to increase its own damage by 50%. Just tested it with pet out (not giving myself AOO) and in beastmode (giving myself AOO). Beast mode maul was MUCH higher. High enough that it had to be consuming its own AOO to increase its damage by 50%. The bonsues from being in beastmode alone couldn’t possibly cause the dramatic damage increase to maul.
If you look at Maul damage numbers in beast mode and compare it to Worldly Impact, Worldly Impact should do more damage, but it doesn’t, Maul beats it every single time because its consuming its own AOO.
No, I don’t agree. Your argument is simply that because you want something and you don’t want to have to obtain it in the its current obtainable form, it should be added to the gemstore.
I “really want” legendary armor but I don’t raid, so by your suggestion A-net should add it to the gem store simply because I want it.
Your assumption is that a pet with those stat numbers and a player with those stat numbers are of equal value and do the exact same damage. Which is not remotely true.

It’s like SoR was the only cleanse ranger had? While we had a ton of other cleanses and now we have even more. We have a 1000 options via other skills and traits to cleanse ourselves which are a million times better than old SoR, that 1 condi-clear every 10 secs. Really guys? Falling over that? I’m tempted to give 100 gold for the first person that can name 3 types of condi clears pre-patch we already had, and three new ones. Then we can all hold hands and sing a happy song!
SoR and EB changed (both for the worse IMO) and we didn’t gain anything. I relooked over the patch notes and didn’t see any new condi cleanses. Did we gain some I’m missing?
Edit: I am absolutely sure, I poured over the patch notes, we gained NO new condi removals. Your 100 gold offer is invalid.
Again, going out of your way to purposely ignore the new sources of condi cleanse. As 500 people have already clearly pointed out in this thread. New zephyrs speed interaction with WS traits = 2 condi cleanses, new soften the fall interactions with any heal = 2 more new condi cleanses. TU now 4 potential condi cleanses. You’re willfully being obtuse at this point.
I like your accounting of opportunity cost in terms of skills/traits/rune requirement, but you don’t seem to take account of the granularity of the cleanses (and therefore the potential cleanse waste).
Don’t try to to show him his obvious flaws, he doesn’t want to see them and only sees his perfect scenario where old SoR passive worked as a perfect cleanse every 10 seconds 100% of the time.

As far as net totals go, SoR was one of the best condi clears in the game. The list of single utility skills that could remove 6 condis per minute in the game is incredibly low,
But the SoR argument is like saying it’s inefficient to get paid $100 a month for a year when you could make $200 which is a bigger chunk, but at 2-3 (or more) time slower. In a worst case efficiency, you’re breaking even, and beyond that, the monthly payment is more money. The only argument that can be made for the other options is that people prefer the delivery method.
This example only works if you’re assuming you’re in combat for the entirety of that 60 seconds and then and ONLY then is that “6 condi clears per minute” even begin to come close to worthwhile. If I’m in a fight for 35 seconds. thats only 3 completely uncontrollable condi clears in the duration of the fight, when I would much rather have on demand useful condi clears that I can control.
And you’re assuming that A: its going to remove something useful (which most of the time it wont) and B: that when that 10 second mark ticks, you actually have a condi on for it to clear. If even for a brief moment you’re clear of condis and that 10s window goes by, your numbers on usefulness just went down.
There are numerous holes in this whole “SOR was the greatest ability to ever grace mans presence” argument. Your example basically asks for a perfect scenario in which you’re actively in combat 100% of a full minute, every minute and that SOR will remove a good condi from you every single tick (as opposed to a stack of vuln or cripple), which it wont. AND you’re assuming that every 10 second tick on the tick, you’re going to have a condi for it to clear to begin with. Even if this were all the case, new methods of condi removal are still better numbers. I can remove 4 condis every 20 seconds with TU and soften the fall. I’ll take a potential 12 controllable condi removal every minute over a potential 6 uncontrollable any day of the week.
Well I got tired of watching you go out of your way to ignore the fact that our condi clear has DRAMATICALLY increased, while you push your agenda for a signet that was never really that good to begin with.
There have been plenty of people who have very carefully and neatly explained and detailed exactly how old SoR was bad, the change is better, and how our condi clear is better now then it has been. You’ve purposely ignored all of them throughout this thread. So I’m not really too concerned about convincing you of anything.
(edited by sevenDEADLY.5281)
Best skill in the game for 5 years, SoR, just got obliterated. I’ve lost any desire to play for a while.
What? Signet of Renewal just got a major buff. The passive condi clear never procced when you needed it, and the active just killed your pet.
You’re not realizing how MASSIVE this nerf was to our condi removal.
Yeah bruh, I’m really gonna miss having SoR remove that one stack of cripple or those 2 stacks of vulnerability once every 10 seconds while I have 45 stacks of DoTs on me. Lawd knows condi specs only apply 1 stack of DoTs every 10 seconds. Super useful stuff there. We’re all gonna die and the sky is falling now because of our ONE condi removal every TEN seconds… lawl.
Btw, I love how you’re completely ignoring the massive increase to condi removal we just got from the changes to soften the fall and zephyrs speed. Its like you’re purposely trying to be obtuse.
I’m trying to look at this trait and weigh the pros and cons. This trait itself is definitely fantastic, but the line it’s in is surprising to me. Skirmishing strikes me more as a condi trait line but vicious quarry is definitely great for a power remorseless build.
Basically I’m trying to decide if the extra 10% crit chance and 250 ferocity on fury, on top of the added 10% chance to crit from Hunter’s Tactics, and the extra precision from spotter is worth the trait line over other specializations. Opinions?
Guild Wars 2 isn’t Guild Wars 1. Posts that essentially boil down to “why isn’t this game exactly like Guild Wars 1!” don’t make any sense to me. If you want things to be exactly how they were in Guild Wars 1, that game still exists.
Whats your definition of alive? Because I log into the game at random hours on random days and always see people playing, even in vanilla maps. I tend to see more people in HoT maps when I’m roaming around, but that’s how all MMOs ever made work (more people in newer content). So unless you’re expecting 500 players to be playing on your active screen at every given moment to be considered “not dead”, I don’t understand these arguments.
Last expansion did have a new class and GW1 had a new class every expansion. It is safe to say it is more likely than not. In any case, will know next Tuesday.
No. They already stated the Revenant finished off the 3 of each armor class (1 high, 1 medium, 1 low hp) for each base profession. There was a discussion from game developers about how going forward they would only be adding elite specs to each of the 9 base professions from now on.
You would be asking for quite a bit for them to make 9 new elite specs, and then a new class AND have to develop two elite specs for it to keep it in balance with the current classes and elite specs. And then what for the 3rd expansion? You expect a new class again? With 3 elite specs of its own? Plus 10 elite specs for the ones that came before? They’re not doing this. They already said they aren’t.
The Anet employee that responded in this very thread…
Or its simply an absurd request and like I said.. luckily Anet agrees. That last part is really important and you should let it sink in.
It is absolutely insane that this is even a conversation. Thankfully someone working at Anet seems to agree.
If this is an actual issue, then why stop there. Why not be outraged that we have to press any buttons to play this game at all. Why can’t I just sit back, drink mountain dew, and eat cheetos all while this game plays itself and gives me the best loot in the game after a few moments of auto play. This is absurd and demand satisfaction!
This is how everyone behaves nowadays they act like complaining about something in order to induce change is the worst thing in the world, and as such the love it or leave it logic comes into play. No I think we’ll continue to complain until it’s fixed while everyone else sits back lazy and doesn’t try to make anything better ever.
This a video game with a multitude of actual problems that need to be addressed. “My pixelated cat is doing cat things and I don’t like it” is not a real problem and the fact that you would even attempt to make it the forefront of Arenanet’s time and effort is asinine.
It amazes me that a group of people who do not work for, nor have any affiliation with, Arenanet come to the forums and suddenly decide amongst themselves that something is so easy and can easily be done and changed to accommodate their wishes even though the actual makers of the game have already stated that no, it cannot and will not be done.
If there was a weapon that could have gotten the legendary weapon treatment it would have been the lightning storm bow.
I’m glad some ppl like it, its just not to my tastes.
I can agree with this. That would have been my second pick and to be honest I have a suspicion that the lightning bow actually was a design for gen 2 legendary longbow, then when they “indefinitely suspended” the legendary weapons, they just decided to release it as a gem store weapon. I have no actual proof of this, just a feeling.
Love the new longbow, but I have to question why this couldn’t have been the 2nd gen legendary longbow. Add some arm particle effects, some footfalls, and a unique draw/stow/fire effect and I’m pretty sure this would have been a fantastic contender for best gen 2 legendary.
He may have called legendary owners selfish
When you start out by throwing stones at people minding their own business, you don’t get to act like the victim when someone throws a stone back.
So two people suddenly justifies telling other people what they can and can’t do? You can add 10 more topics if you’d like, 12 people making forum posts still wouldn’t make it acceptable. How many people do you think have Sunrise, Twilight, Eternity, or the other Legendary weapons with particle effects? You think you get to tell them they can’t use them anymore?
There’s like a billion Itty Bitty Miss T*tty “armors” and outfits, so I for one am glad this one actually, for once, almost looks the same on both genders. The spurs are weird though.
So I decided to fact check this statement. I went through all the medium armor chest pieces. I found 2, possibly 3 depending on your perception, “Itty Bitty Miss T*tty” armors as you so eloquently put it. I then proceeded to count 40+ trenchcoats.
Can I expect an update to your figures soon or nah?
It’s a visual bug that sometimes (very rarely) occurs after using swoop (Greatsword 3 on Ranger). It’s the visual effect of the ability but it will bug out and not disappear after.
There are supposed to be more mastery points then masteries. You’re not supposed to be forced to complete 100% of the game to get full masteries. I have 100% mastery completion with many left over mastery points as well, but for you to seriously suggest that the more casual playerbase (which is a huge % of the playerbase) be forced to complete every single mastery point in order to complete full mastery is a shortsighted idea. Motivation to work towards masteries would plummet and the only thing it would accomplish is driving away players who would view the task as impossible.
It only took two years to make the first one. So it’s completely feasible for them to just up and redo everything now. I mean such a simplistic task, why wouldn’t you ask for it. And of course, if they did do it, it certainly wouldn’t open the door to every Tom, kitten, and Harry expecting their oh so simple requests be honored every time.
Yeah, poor ranger having to struggle with being the best class in the game
I remember the good ol days when ranger was considered the worst class in the game, and I would have killed to be considered even halfway decent. Ah memories.
Nah I think they said what they meant and they meant what they said.
21 characters? Max level? If they are max level then kitten! There isn’t anything on earth that after being done repeatedly doesn’t become boring. That’s just human nature. Imagine a pianist playing moonlight sonata for the 15000th time. He probably hates the song and anyone who makes him play it. Look at it like this, even if you did do high level fractals, if you went at it as hard as you went at the rest of the game it too would eventually become boring. That’s just life. The little shake ups in character balancing and a little change here or there to skills is really what keeps some people playing honestly. Don’t get me wrong I still love the game, but if things don’t change from time to time or you find ways to change up what you’re doing how many times can you kill stuff the same way really?
Like others have said, maybe take a break again. Expansion 2 will be within the year, might be the perfect time to jump back in.
The female in the picture is wearing Norn cultural tier 3 light armor. Its already in the game doinkus.
He didn’t ask about rewards guys he clearly asked about rewording raids. I say we call them “Double party go go fight times”.
I don’t need* I don’t want*
fixed.
Also you’re 100% wrong. Those things were auto deposited into your material storage when you clicked “deposit all” not salvaged.
I can’t think of a single MMO, or RPG for that matter, I’ve ever played that didn’t have variable damage ranges. I can’t even really wrap my mind around how someone doesn’t understand after the multiple fully fleshed out explanations posted.
You free admit to leaving the game for a period of time and then coming back. Things happened while you were gone. Why exactly do you feel entitled to everything that happened while you were gone because you weren’t playing and weren’t paying attention to it at that time? I don’t play BDO at all and I don’t pay attention to it, but if I decide to play tomorrow, I can’t go “Why did all this stuff happen when I wasn’t playing this game at all and I don’t know about it!”
I love it when this argument over communication pops up over things like this. It was communicated, and in several different places as to exactly how the living world system was set up. Just because YOU didn’t see that communication, either on the forums, in game, or on the official website, doesn’t mean there was no communication. The people moaning about communication are ridiculous and wouldn’t be happy unless an ANET representative came to their house, knocked on their door, and personally told each and every one of them that something new was happening. Even then they’d probably complain that the person didn’t come at an hour convenient for them. Its unreal how catered to people feel like they have to be.
Joke thread? Someone else got something and I didn’t. ANET MAKE IT SO NO ONE ELSE CAN HAVE NICE THINGS!!!!1111!!111one!111!
yes but power dmg comes in a smaller window so these means of midigating or ignoring the dmg are much stronger while for conditions the fact that they last that long makes it so after u used said skills u just stand there unable to do much.
And when a player drops their condi rotation on someone and then watches it all get cleansed away with the press of a button, you think their cooldowns just magically reset and they get to do it all again instantly? Its the same thing. If your argument is that power builds only have some kind of 30 second cd burst window and they don’t have consistent damage, then I have to ask what game you’re playing, because its not this game.
You bring that up as if its some big “GOTCHA” except evades, blocks, and aegis work just as well against conditions so…
It’s like you’re making my argument for me. So not only can you cleanse conditions if they do get applied, but you can also just evade, block, or aegis the condition applying attack. Thanks… you’re right there are a lot of ways to counter conditions.
(edited by sevenDEADLY.5281)
There’s already a game mechanic to mitigate condi damage. It’s called condi cleanse. People on here talking about about conditions like there’s absolutely no counter what so ever. This must be your first week in gw2 or some nonsense. I can have 99 stacks of bleed and 50 stacks of burning slammed on me all at once and all I have to do is astral form as a druid and low and behold, every single condition I had on me is gone, wiped from existence. Wheres my direct damage cleanse? Sure armor partially mitigates, but it certainly doesn’t make direct damage disappear without a trace.
If you run around without any condi cleanse that’s your fault, not the games. I don’t run around with no armor on and then come complain on the forums because a dagger thief backstabbed me for the entirety of my health bar in a single hit.
(edited by sevenDEADLY.5281)
You can hurt yourself to your heart’s content. ^^
However that doesn’t mean I want a mini of someone that’s in pain and suffering to drag along behind me.
Then don’t buy it.. and then go about living your life without trying to make a political uprising on the forums in order to get it changed because you’re “uncomfortable”. Holy hell. You’re attempting to tell us how you’re not trying to police what other people can and cant have and then in the very next sentence trying to change something people already have so they can’t have it. How are you NOT seeing this?
You’re also PURPOSELY being obtuse and ignoring the fact that the item in question clearly states its a magical fish that IS NOT “in pain and suffering” and that you are only CHOOSING to view it that way.
Here we go… Yet another DPS meter post. I’ll just give my usual canned response: Want damage? 100‰ Berserker… This game does not have enough viable build diversity where such a tool would provide anything useful.
Condi engie and condi ranger currently among top dawg dps in end game raiding and fractals. But yeah… berserker… Can you share your time travelling secrets? I’m amazed you came to us all the way from 2013.
Which classes are lying during the day time? Filthy day liars! Are they lying every day? Like are they daily day lies? These daily day liars need to be stopped! Lying is wrong and we should do something about it! GET YOUR PITCH FORKS PEOPLE!
The people arguing that dps meters are kicking people from groups and being elitist to people are the same people that believe spoons make people fat and that cars drive themselves drunk. They’re blaming a tool for someone’s actions. I also find it funny how the argument is “I don’t like dps meters, so YOU shouldn’t be able to use them”.
It needs to be big because you are inside of it.
