Guild Wars 2

Since I only pvp, staff is mandatory and this patch actually is visible. Life force building with it is more efficient. I was more satisfied with the ds fix overall though that was horrendously obnoxious.

Staff Auto buff was definatly a boon tonight during zerg fights. I use a Valkerie/Zerk build and having lifeforce recharge faster off the auto while keeping at range was a huge boon and while I haven’t tested it in other game mode’s yet It atleast allows Deathshroud builds to perform better in WvW. Cant say much about the other 2 buff but this one has definatly helped and is a step in the right direction

I used it a bit just in some pve bosses…and wow I can tell a big difference. The hand actually feels threatening now instead of just “ohhhhh, spoooookkkyyyy”. Building up life force with it should be a bit easier. Now if only they’d make dark path as fast or faster…

I actually don’t mind the dark path projectile speed for 1 reason. The delay can often let me combo something as I’m about to teleport or even get me out of a combo if used on a distant target (which I usually target anyways). Thankfully it tracks the target otherwise I would be on the flip side.

Too bad your skills get cancelled when you come out of deathshroud.

Only if they are still being cast. Projectils (ds1 and ds2) that already have launched will still hit. And i am pretty sure he also means it that way.

I remember once, before the buffs, I was in a pvp match and doing everything I could to get a thief away from rezzing their downed teammate, and I casted everything I had due to them being stealthed. The thief ran out of stealth with probably 1k health left, but all my cooldowns were gone, except staff 1. I cast it and it hit, downing him. I remember thinking, if only staff 1 were faster, this would be a decent skill.

It’s actually worth casting now from time to time. Not an auto attack like dagger, obviously, but getting a few casts off isn’t be joke it used to be. For a power build.

Necromancer

Death Shroud: Reverted a change that caused this effect to incorrectly cancel abilities (such as stomping) when the necromancer’s death shroud runs out.

Necrotic Grasp: Increased the velocity of this projectile by 50%.

Life Siphon: Increased this skill’s base healing by 25%, and increased the scaling with healing power by 75%. Fixed a bug in which this skill increased by 25% instead of 20% when traited with Bloodthirst.
——————————————

The DS while be great because the forums always complaining about that so 70% of the necro forum users should be happy. Personally the Life Siphon is what I really want to play around with.

Perhaps you should’ve told your team mates then instead of making a captain obvious post on the necro forum.

Omg. I love how he put this post out there to inform others that are fighting Necros, and the post got moved to the Necro subforum where mostly only Necros will read it! This is so priceless! Lmao.

Basically, having a bunch of NPCs with jack-o-lanterns and candy corns over their heads in April or July might be a little odd.

Make an NPC with;

• Special festival icon that includes pumpkin, dragon, snowflake & stuff
• Has a nice and truly magical little shop exhabition.
• Stands somewhere special.

It seems such a shame to put in all this design, art and effort and have it limited to one segment of living story?

Glint’s Lair in gw1 was also only limited to one segment of the story. The effort was necessary to advance the story.

I have 160+ foils left in inventory, this time the patch was a bit too early Plx accept my foils =D i want skins :P

Fear detected!

Annoyance, love. I like playing PvE without being bothered by other people or their requests to duel if it’s optional. Keep PvE and PvP separate, thank you very much.

There’s too many advantages to dueling, that duel requests is a tiny issue in comparison. Besides, Anet can always add a “block all requests” options. ;D Besides, it’s more immersive if there’s pvp in pve, as long as it’s not annoying, than a complete, 100% division.

I don’t see any advantage at all to dueling. None. I can’t even imagine any reason that would make having a dueling option be an “advantage” for anything.

Personally I don’t care as long as there is a “block requests” option.

This is the reason why I dislike Obsidian Sanctum. I know it’s in WvW, but I don’t see how being ganked by a bunch of kittens while I’m jumping makes for a fun jumping puzzle.

As I reply in other post, using the Anet concept of community.
I think Duel option is the best option for Gw2

I’d much rather see them add an area to WvW where you can hit each-other in the face to your heart’s desire.

Having this in PvE is an annoyance…

Agreed, but as long as it is in a spot that can be ignored it isn’t that much of a problem.

What about new zones being released having the option to zone into a pvp or pve zone? With the megaservers in place, there shouldn’t be an issue with population. There of course would be an issue with no factions, so who would fight who.

… why?

The PvE and PvP modes are separate for a reason.

At least they wont delete it this time.
I wish it was made into a fractal too.

I felt pretty nostalgic seeing how the setting,area effects, bosses, mechanics and music were similiar/exactly the same as the gw1 version.
I really enjoyed the instance in general.

Anyone else have funny or silly names for the Dailies?

Here’s a couple of mine:

“Rub 10 Unconscious Strangers Daily” = Daily Reviver
“Kill the Wabbit” = Ambient Killer

Oh God…so I’ve been sexually harrassing unconcious people all this time…I mean unwillingly.

Kind of makes me curious about how evil the Laurel Merchant really is. He makes us murder innocent animals(ambient), he makes us molest unconcious strangers, murder fish just because…but I guess he at least wants us to eat healthy, hence the gatherer daily. :I

Or the daily gatherer could just be him using us as slave labour in his quarries/lumber yards.

nicknamenick.2437:

give us more PANTS!!

PANTS!!!!!! light medium AND HEAVY!!! MORE PANTS!!!

NOT SKIRTS!!

AND MORE EQUAL SHOULDERS

Thats all i ask..

Thank you

If you mean symmetrical shoulder pieces, then yes, I want more armor that has symmetry and not asymmetry.

Yeah….how about you throw some of those pretty skirts out for asuras….I need more dress options. While we’re at it, my female asura wants her butterflies. Obviously butterflies are wasted on human females.

The game needs fewer:

• long skirts
• trenchcoats

It needs more:

• miniskirts
• functional armor

That is all.

azzy.6485:

Where are all the medium and heavy skirts that are not cash shop items? We need MORE not less skirts…

your playing a different game?

Look in the wardrobe and like 90% from all the heavy pants are skirts or indeed butt-capes..

Those heavy WVW pants looks nice.. make some more of that.

Yes, let’s have more aggressive styled armor sets that strike fear in our enemy’s heart and admiration from our comrades!

In all seriousness, I’ve noticed the same thing, so I agree with the OP. Please, ANet, stop designing everything with a skirt…especially heavy armor!

Electro.4173:

I’m assuming you’re talking about the new armor sets, and if so, I don’t understand the complaint seeing as all 3 sets DO have pants (well, the light one on females is a bit iffy, but the rest definitely do). Sure, they have a “skirt” cape type thing in the back (I’m sure there’s an actual term for this, but I don’t know what it is) but they have pants as well.

The term is “butt-cape”. You’re welcome.

Lol, I read stop making skritts.
