If Forge is AI based I quit!

Why quit? Just don’t use the elite spec (like many guardians and elementalists will be doing).

Or just don’t use the utilities and use the Hammer/Traits.

That’s sort of the thing about Elite specs… they’re far from ‘all in’.

It is pretty all in because you have to sacrifice an entire traitline in order to use that hammer.

About Howler legendary

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Taku.6352

Taku.6352

You have to remember that there are two edges on the sword. Some want every legendary to be flashy and shiny beacon that screams “LOOK AT ME I MADE A THING!” and others like me prefer the more subtle effects like the Howler currently has.

Changing it now would only lead to disgruntled customers who like it because its not flashy.

I’d like to see something that negates or clears all non-boon buffs for a few seconds. It would be nice if abilities like Berserker’s Stance had more counterplay.

It blows my mind that so many people complain about vamp runes, yet no one seems to have a problem with Berserkers stance being on a PASSIVE trait.

Endure Pain and Balanced Stance are available trough passive traits not Berserkers Stance.

I’d just use the normal meta build and swap the longbow to a GS if you are so keen on using it.

In your build you are missing out on 100 personal ferocity, 100 precision, 450 pet ferocity. And you can easily keep high duration fury with using warhorn 5 before combat, red moa and rampage as one while swapping weapons in combat.

As for rotation you should use: GS#2, GS#3, swap to s/a, axe#4 and sword auto and axe 4 off cooldown till the boss dies. If you need the block, stun or evade from GS you can swap to it and then try to go back to s/a as soon as possible.

I honestly wouldn’t mind a nerf for burns/burn application if they buffed other condis and their application. Only reason why ranger/engi/guard have decent condi builds is because of burning, hell the only reason guard is decent condi is because burning is so strong that it doesn’t even need another condis to be usable.

30 points into NM and you’ll get Natures Voice, then 10 points to BM and take shout mastery and just spam guard all the time. Nearly 100% swiftness up time with just that, then added effects of WH and runes will give you easy access to 100% uptime.

Solution to all the Zerk hating peeps

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Taku.6352

Taku.6352

I think the best method would be – since zerk gear typically has no toughness – to add a negative value to toughness and further increase their power.
This would make them capable of dying in a single hit.

Currently all armor classes have a base toughness that is sufficient for end-game content w/o the dire need for toughness (it helps – but it’s not needed).
Since we know damage is calculated by…

(Power * Weapon damage * skill coefficient) / (Toughness + Defense)

…We can easily see how if we pulled – say, 1,000 toughness away from them – they should die from just about any hit.
This will create a need for a support class to accompany the zerkers – and since all classes can support with AoE healing and such – it would balance the game far more.

Many people would rage if the zerk bars got nerfed – but it would make the community much more tolerable in the long run imo.

Berserk armored thieves, eles and guardians already die from a single hit. Rest of the classes take 2 hits to go down. Non skilled player using berserk gear will be a burden to any team but a skilled player will be able to mitigate that incoming damage with evades, blocks, blinds, invulnerabilities and other means.

Try meleeing the ettin in uncategorized fractal at lvl 50 and you’ll realise that berserk armor is fine as it is.

Don’t forget the fact that in GW2 most of the endgame grinding is purely focused on reaching exclusive high-end skins. Stats grind isn’t that big of an issue since you can just use transmutation to keep the same look from start to finish.

I’m sure the artists and developers used huge amounts of time to work on these changes and i truly appreciate it. But you need to open up on your player base. This whole ordeal could have been averted if you had communicated with your customers and asked if option A is any better than option B.

Also you seriously need a proofreader for your patchnotes. Huge stuff like this should never slip from them not to talk about the dozens of other changes that aren’t listed in the patchnotes.

What ascended armor should I get?

in Ranger

Posted by: Taku.6352

Taku.6352

If you do dungeons then make a mix of berserkers and assassins armor.

Assassins helmet, zerker shoulders, assassins chest, zerker gloves, assasins pants and zerker boots.

Toughness and vitality are absolutely useless in PvE when 90% of incoming damage can be avoided with dodges, evasion skills, blinds and other means.
