Adrenaline changes and longbow

in Warrior

I didnt see the chat about the ready up episode and was wondering if anyone knows if longbow F1 skill combustive shot will continue cleansing condis with no target, considering that for the new system to take affect, combustive shot will have to spend all the adrenaline before the arrow lands, meaning cleansing ire wont know if you hit a target before the bars are depleted. I think it will stay the same due to technical reasons.

Sparring rock master achieve

I was curious after completing this without falling and learned that as usual the wording for attaining the achieve isn’t exact.. so ill fill anyone in who isn’t sure.

To get this achieve the following must be met.

-Being on the platform with the boss from when you join the fight till its over… im not sure if you can come in partway.. I soloed the boss from start to finish
-Not getting hit by any of the attacks, I completed one run with stability but it didn’t count.. so DO NOT bother bringing any stability.

So to make this as easy as possible go full zerk… learn the attack rhythm and be quick on your feet.. and when the boss does the big circle slam over and over.. you gotta jump over those, not dodge them.

Happy achieve hunting

This is just my guess but i believe the association is either dictated by number of events completed or wvw ranks gained. They are both the only 2 things broad enough to measure a persons activity as a whole in wvw. So my suggestion is to karma train as much as possible and use wvw xp boosters.

warrior flurry nerf

Aarean.5398

What was the point of nerfing flurry by 1 hit at 3 ranks.. btw I tested it ingame and where as it used to fill 1 bar of adrenaline upon use with the furious trait it is now 1 hit short… flurry already was a mediocre burst skill as is without enough damage.. and why make the burst go up by 2 hits from 1 to 2 then up 1 hit to 3 bars.. would like an answer on this one it just seems inconsistent and annoying

Help with net lag

Aarean.5398

I’ve been looking around the net for info on how i can improve my network connection for playing gw and i was hoping someone could give me an idea on why im lagging. I can pay to have my isp improve the download speeds but i dont want to just do that and not see an improvement.

I have centurylink as my isp
Our current download speed we pay for is 10 mbps
Im on a wireless router and have no way to connect to a hard line
Idk the upload speeds but speedtest.net goes around .5 to .75 for upload
During peak hours net is obviously the slowest. Causes lag spikes with battles or fights with alot of attacks like subject alpha in COE. During off hours i can wvw with no lag
My comp runs the game flawlessly so theres no hardware issues. So im wondering should i improve my internet up to 25mbps? Would someone tech savy know that would solve my problem?
Thanks

You get to build what you want in this game. In wow i could never build a prot warrior to fill dps because tanking is just so boring to me. In gw i just put all my points into dps stats and equip a sword and shield and ZIM ZALLA BIM… Dps prot warrior i always wanted with the added benefit of a ranged weapon to swap to… Amazing

I personally love the style this game has created. I have run so many dungeons with subpar groups only to finish the boss off solo because of their lack of skill. In any other mmo i would have payed for their shortcomings.

Keep the game the way it is and let people control their fate instead of the lame handicapped crap in almost every other mmo.

Bow nerfs

Aarean.5398

I get that hambow is getting targeted but what about those of us who use bow with other weapon sets. If some of the cds are too powerful with hambow then give the bow some compensation that the hambow cant get much out of. Like a slightly buffed auto attack so some of the damage arcing arrow loses goes to AA and stronger condition damage on fan of fire and deff up the bleeding on pin down to at least 8 stacks. Pin down is so useful to hambow cause of the immob. Up the bleeding so its a better reward to the very easily dodged cast time now.. And hambow wont be buffed

Very much agree. When you have this combination and to include the fact that people are getting the achieve through a complete bug and not even killing all three is really pathetic. I havent missed one achieve since release and this one is pretty good BS. Even with good map effort we are still having major issues

This is bs people are getting it through bugs. I spent hours trying to get people organized on jq main and the best we got so far was 1 second off from getting achievemet. The boss fight needs to be tweaked due to the buggy scaling the bosses have. Some points the boss hp drop like its a veteran then other times it drops so unbearably slow..

Seeing the leaked patch notes which I know don’t definitely make it to release I thought I would post that if you are going to nerf the duration to 6 seconds at least give it something to balance out.. its 60 second cooldown so give it a stunbreak.. or lower the cooldown… personally I don’t see anything wrong with the ability currently at live.

This is such a mistake to change the stat based on all these complaints. Its a playstyle choice. They need to make harder enemies. Gutting the stat will only cause more complaints because of the time invested into that stat combination. My main spec is rampager so im not too worried about me after this change but i can imagine how much less i would play if i had full zerk ascended and they brought its dmg boost down to the lvl of PVT armor.

Healing Signet is not to powerful!

Because its annoying that the title centers around the offender EVERY TIME. this is a defensive post. Centered around people who are focused on keeping the ability unnerfed. No naysayers here. Just suggestions to alter the ability without weakening its hps

Healing Signet is not to powerful!

in Profession Balance

Posted by: Aarean.5398

Aarean.5398

Those of you whom agree please post here because we have to counter the whiners or a decent healing ability will be ruined!

Jon Peters posted “The biggest problem is IMO is actually the active heal. If we reduce the passive without doing something to make the active useful, we are just creating a different problem. Truly the active on this skill right now is in the following place. When I see someone press it I think “No No No don’t do that!” We are discussion some options here so if you want this to be constructive give suggestions towards improving the active. Reducing the passive is easy to do but we will not do it without solving the other problem. Also we will not greatly reduce it because it is giving Warriors a sense of sturdiness that we want their profession to have. Without strong heals, Warriors feel too much like everyone else. Setting them apart with strong heals has been good for changing their playstyle feel, but we agree it needs some tweaks.”

Now lets not forget that the total overall healing of healing signet is roughly 12k hp every 30 seconds. Whereas the strongest healing surge is about 10-11k in one lump sum. Because of its staggered effect healing signets passive should heal more. I agree the active is utterly useless as it is. They should just leave its passive healing as is.. and change the actives effect all together.
Suggestions for new active
-protection for x secs
-overcharge the signet and heal double per second for x secs
-gain regen, protection, and vigor for x secs

Im most behind the overcharge idea because it just seems most in line with how the signet works. But lets get some posts here with suggestions to get some attention on the idea that the ability is balanced how it is now and doesnt need reduction because someone lost to a warrior and wants to complain about it.

For those of us still maintaining a perfect achievement record with the temporary content what would be the best guess as to achieves this release.

Way to much confusion on this skill. This is what is hitting patch day
35 sec cd
3sec duration 3.75 traited
1800 initial heal
ALL incoming damage heals you instead including conditions ie. if a thief backstabs you for 6k. Guess what thats 6k he healed you instead of damage. Same for a necro condi bombing you. And those lousy engis
Yes it goes very very well with frenzy. Now discuss without this (no it does this) crap lol

Scarlet hate

Posted by: Aarean.5398

Aarean.5398

Theres obviously a ton of hate for scarlet right now and people are sick of her but perhaps this is what anet wanted? We all hate her REGARDLESS of the reasons why, this gives anet an emotional reaction out of us and they have the perfect platform for giving us some good LS content tied to her downfall. At this point we all want to erase her from existence so perhaps anet has a good agenda for her related to this, or possibly they wanted a completely different reaction out of us regarding her and it flopped horribly…. thoughts?

Rifle Buffs?

in Warrior

Posted by: Aarean.5398

Aarean.5398

2 things would make rifle a comparable choice with other weapons atm.
1. Kill shot. Half the cast time and cut the damage by 1/3.
2. Brutal shot. Terrible ability atm. Beef the damage up and add a 1 sec stun or 2-3 sec daze while removing the vulnerability.
I love the rifle but until something like this happens ill always go longbow. You sacrifice all aoe to go rifle. The direct damage it has is in no way compensating for all the utility you give up in the longbow.

I can actually second some of Theacualtruths information concerning straight up defending enemy keeps. 3 maps focusing jq and i saw on sor bl that bg blob would go into the keep just to sandwich jq while they were getting closer to taking it. Sor and bg would push into the jq blob at the same time and it was pretty lame. And then bg would just leave. But hey. Sor and bg can hate eachother for the next 3 weeks and honestly if theres a heavily coordinated 2v1 in anyway during week 7 then i would have to say the 2 servers that do are pretty much the lowest form of losers. As it stands its probably going to be a “anyone can win” scenario in week 7 so lets see some honor in that match

Gw is coming along really well. I dont understand all the complaints. Anet are working on so much right infront of us and even more behind the scenes. The events they have done so far are very smart because now they have recyclable content as they stated and can start putting more into the big projects they have planned for next year. No online game comes close to the sheer speed of new content and it is fairly unique content that we have been seeing for gw so far.

I think next year alot of naysayers will lighten up when they start showing their big projects and you guys get new world content that progresses deeper into the lore and world of tyria. I believe crystal desert is on the horizon but who knows where they will go.

Try to enjoy the content they got rolling out and dont focus on what you think should be priority because they are the ones running the fastest selling mmo haha. Plus sab is awesome!

Warrior in a good spot

Aarean.5398

Ive seen all the complaint threads about op warriors from “warriors need nerf they op” to explanations on how healing signets passive is unfair compared to other classes. Truth is we are finally at a fair chance against other classes. I fight good necros, engies, and mesmers now that are the solo 1v1 types and beat them where as a few months ago would have akitten me. And im considered very good at 1v1 as to what my peers tell me. Engies especially without berz stance they would stack 4-5 conditions on me within 5-10 seconds and half my hp gone before i know it.

The healing we have now holds up just right. I spec balanced with 30 in def and 30 in arms with swrd/shld longbow and have always used healing signet even back when it was half what it is now and at 400 with a little bit of healing power makes it just right for me. Zerk thieves can still drop my hp like it nothing if im not careful and thats why i keep endure pain to keep myself in the fight due to warriors lack of evasions which IM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT. And i dont see anyone complaining about the 11k heal that healing surge brings. Healing signet gives 1k more out of 30 seconds and is very susceptible to poison over the long haul so its a very fair tradeoff.

Fact is as a lifetime warrior i can say we have gone from laughing stocks to fair competition and other classes will not be akitteng me anymore. I used to kill other warriors without a second thought charging in the fight and now at least i can say fighting other warriors for me as well has become a better challenge. The bigger heal and few extra condi cleanse/berz immunity was what we needed and now we arnt begging for help all the time. If they nerf berz stance and healing signet i will keep using them because i like the way the skills work and i can go back to losing to good players on other classes but at least they would be happy right? The forums complainers would still be seeing my boot.

Just dropping my thoughts on here considering so many whiners cant auto win anymore. Get better or play a warrior and find out its not the class that wins the fight.
