Hmm… surprised I haven’t seen this thread til now.
It needs more color and the goth makeup doesn’t really go with the armor but overall looks okay. I’ll give it a 6/10.
Here is my aetherblade themed thief.
Interesting thief. The armor is nice (maybe the gloves and shoulders don’t go that well with the rest, but still it’s interesting combination.), hairstyle is nice. It’s not my style, but still very good job!
8/10
Now my chars:
(From the left – guard, ele, necro, mesmer, thief, ranger, rev, war. Not posting my engi because he looks stupid.)
You can rate them all at once or one by one
.
This staff is so cool! Probably the best staff skin I’ve ever seen. And I’m so glad I made it
. I also hope the new sword will be awesome like this.
(I also noticed that the arm effect is sometimes bugged.)

My wishlist:
1. Skill animations we lost (fireball, auras, etc.)
2. Human female idle animation we lost a year ago
3. SAB
4. Sport sunglases
5. Finally LS season 3
6. Basically this:
Being able to save my builds. Now that would be one epic Wintersday present.
I like that puzzle. It’s fun. It’s challenging enough but also doable. It just need a little bit of practice (and no heavy lags) and you’ll find it pretty easy. And I didn’t notice any bugs (or I am just lucky enough).
Yeah, I know that. Happened to me few times too.
I hope we’ll get that slider everyone is talking about. But now we unfortunately still have to wait. It’s holiday. Maybe after New Year we’ll finally get some response.
this should motive ppl into getting bifrost or nevermore
I recently made Nevermore and I am so glad I don’t have to look at these fire peanuts anymore. They look so horrible. And still… our other beloved skills… churning earth, swirling winds, overload air, auras, etc… Pls Anet, give them back to us! I miss them so much!
I do not like that build (actually I don’t like ele daggers at all), so no, I do not miss those times when it ruled pvp. It’s nice to see eles running something different and not just d/d everywhere.
To solve this issue about lore, I would rly like to see it being expanded in form a mini personal story. Basically a story of 2 – 3 parts, which are all about the lore of that proffesion/elite spec (For rev + every elite spec there should be personal story). In rev’s story you’ll be transformed into Rytlock and you’ll be travelling in the Mists, meeting and working with rev’s legends. In elite specs stories, you’ll be learning the basics of your spec, how your character found its powers, and completing some task(s) attached to it. And these stories will be the 1st step to unlock your elite spec (not the rev). For the herald… well… maybe in this story you’ll meet Rytlock, who will teach you what he learned in the Mists (in a time between rev’s story and his return to Tyria) and show you how to summon Glint. What do you think? ^^
(For that thing about you becoming the 1st rev instead of Rytlock, uh… I am not sure.)
Still no response from Anet?
Please Anet! This is the most hilarious change ever. Give us option to turn it off/on.
I would like to see new sword and shield, maybe gs or hammer too.
Hrm… hopefully the new shield will be beautiful, along with the new focus – I want it to scream LEGENDARY like the first gen. the 2nd gen is so far.. underwhelming at best – they look more like black lion weapons with glowy arms, no offense – i want them to be updated first personally
It’s a matter of personal taste. For me, nevermore is far more legendary than bifrost. And HOPE than that rediculous quip too.
Seriously what is this? Fireball is no longer fireball but fire shot, Churning Earth is rediculous and auras now are even worse (Yea and shouts too). Will you continue in this until all our skills will be invisible? There’s also an issue with auras, that it’s hard to see if your enemy has them. I think PvPers will not be happy about this.
Or if you really want to keep it, give us at least a button in Options to turn it off/on based on our preferences.
Please, do something with that, 1 of 2 reasons I play ele is because of its amazing skill animations. Now half of them are gone. (And looks like mesmer, also my favorite, was hit as well.)
If you want to do nothing with that, at least, please, tell us why you did this.
What’s wrong with crafting Nevermore?
I am not sure. TD or DS.
I really like TD map appearance, but I hate its meta event.
I hate DS map appearance, but like its meta event.
Did anyone get this item already? I did that meta event few times and still no drop. Some players I asked told me they didn’t get it either. There are 3 possible options :
1. It’s bugged, very likely (If yes, pls Anet repair it as soon as you can. )
2. It’s RNG based with a very small chance for drop.
3. The hint is lying, (or inaccurate) and there’s another option to get it.
My Xmas/Wintersday wishlist:
- Super Adventure Box
- Sport Sunglasses
- Arctic Explorer outfit
- Give us some lore for elite specs
- Buff to ele scepter
- Buff to rev Jalis stance
- Awesome LS3
- More faces/hairstyles
Bring back Eir. Pls.
There’s a bug that when you complete some of these new maps with a character who already has 100% completion in core Tyria, you’ll get nothing.
Can we like, not kill off anymore characters because of forums bs.
It just ruins the story as shown by both of these deaths.
Yeah, exactly.
With that killing mood everywhere, why just not killing every main character in entire game? Everyone should be satisfied then. -_-
I am so exited for Nevermore, I really love the concept, it’s they only Legendary I can see my Norn Ele having and I will work hard to get it.
There is only one thing that disappointed me from the footage we’ve seen so far. No footprints or really discrete footprints cause I can barely see any. Every Legendary has proper footprints, I was expecting that Nevermore will have too. They don’t need to be loud or over the top, the blue glow looks good but it should last longer and be more visible.
Exactly my thoughts. While watching Stream it was really hard to even see them.
I am sad because Eir died. (Hope she will return as a spitit or something.) At least the rest of Destiny’s Edge made it. I didn’t like Trahearne, bud his end was sad too. Otherwise the story was amazing.
Ok you don’t like it, but many do. It’s actually one of the main reasons I love reaper a lot. If you make it small, you’ll just create another necro staff, but melee.
It’s a lot of fun with it and it’s really cool as it is.
(edited by Avador.8934)
As I know, some mobs (mordrem snipers) can target you even in the air.
Hm…
I was flying pretty close above them for a couple of times, still they never attacked me.
Yeah it’s pretty rare, but sometimes when I was trying to escape by gliding, they were still shooting. Sometimes I was just gliding around them, and then that annoying icon appeared above me, with kill shot comimg soon after.
As I know, some mobs (mordrem snipers) can target you even in the air.
Thank you. I love everything so much! Nothing will ever get me from my Herald and Reaper now. I just can’t wait for release of new legendaries and raids.
Please Anet, other changes are more or less ok, but this, this is really bad change. I thougt Revenant should be all about energy, if you really want to nerf this skill (which is bad because it was fine before), increase energy cost. Just no cd pls! It hurts our mobility a lot and the fun factor is gone. Try some chill or interrupt mesmer on it and you’ll see how bad is it. We already have our weak spots (mainly condis), we don’t need another ones.
Gj at removing one of the best fun factors on Rev. Please, remove that cd and, if you must, just increase energy cost to 30 or 35. Everyone should be satisfied then.
Maybe it’ll be a new guild mission to defend your guild hall.
It’s just a matter of personal taste. I for example like them a lot. Especially the staff.
I would really like to see something like this :
Remove all amulets from PvP, and replace them with Stat points – each Stat point represents 100 in stats. You’ll get 30 points and can split them between the stats you want.
It is sure that for making these new legendaries we’ll spend most of our time in Maguuma. And there aren’t many water areas as I know. So I will rather wait for another expansion with more focused uw, where I can actually spend that time for their acquisition in new zones.
Switching from ele:
- Condi cleansing
- Customisable utilities
Please! Do not change gun flame! It’s a great skill. In pvp it’s awesome to fight with and interesting to fight against. Sure, it’s strong, but not so strong like dd ele, it has it’s counters. Reflect it, and berserker is dead.
Now there’s a great opportunity to use rifle. By nerfing that skill you will make it unusable. If you still think it’s broken or op, just increase cd so we can use it just 1 – 2 times in berserk mode. But pls, do not change dmg.
Lol, looks like we share similar thinking bro:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/Concept-Elite-specialization-the-Archon/first#post5454593
There will always be people complaining about new things. I personally like it. What Anet spoil to us is their thing, but I am sure there are many other things we don’t know about, waiting for us in the Maguuma.
At the moment HoT hits, I’ll abandon my ele main and go exploring with mesmer, who will immediately become chrono. Then I’ll create revenant/herald, who will probaby become my new main. I will also use Reaper a lot (mainly for PvP). Other specs, except tempest, I will use sometimes.
-snip-
Exactly my words. This guy knows what he’s talking about. Listen to him.
I like the current animation very much. No changes pls.
Heheh, at least someone like it. Me definitely not. After I discovered what Reaper can cause in PvP, nothing will ever bring me to Tempest. (Note: for a Reaper, Tempest is just a free kill, at least for me it was many times.)
Since today (2nd day of BWE) I can’t join unranked and ranked arena. Every time I press a button for queue, it immediately write me a message: Queue Abandoned. I tried restart. I tried another chars (beta ones and normal ones). I tried to start queue from LA (it ported me to HotM, but again wrote Queue Abandoned.). I tried to start it in party (Queue Abandoned again when I press Accept.). Still can’t join. Because I play mainly PvP these days, it’s very frustrating for me.
I just want to know if someone has the same problem.
Dragon Hunter is a Hunter of Dragons. Glint is an actual Dragon. I think it’s fine o.o
Yeah, me too.
I’ve seen people with the wyvern pets running around, so it must be testable
Strange. Maybe just some people have this bug.
0 chance to test or give feedback on ranger pets…
Bravo.. What can I say, story from GW2 Core beta repeats, ranger will stay:
- untested
- unbalanced
- no feedback
- no communication as usual..Zero chance? Why?
Even they are in ranger’s pet list, they can’t be selected.
My scepter changes (Based on the new changes, so count them too):
- Fire:
- AA: decrease casting time to 3/4 sec. Probably the worst aa in entire game. Mainly because so long casting time for so low damage.
- Dragon’s Tooth: Aftercast time (before landing) reduced to 1/4 sec. Nobody is stupid enough to stand in its blast radius.
- Phoenix: Great skill. No changes needed.
- Water:
- AA: Decrease damage by 15%. When shards hit enemy, you are healed for a small amount. Make it feel more like WATER aa.
- Shatterstone: Radius increased to 200. Now has 3 pulses. 1st and 2nd pulse deals some damage and 2 stacks of vulnerability, last pulse (that shattering like now) deals more damage (about 30% more than now) and apply condition to enemies (weakness/3 stacks or vuln/bleeding <- one of these maybe?). Cd increased to 3 or 4 sec. This is now one of the worst skills ever. That delay is very noticeable and damage is very low. Only thing that Shatterstone is useful now is to stack vuln at non moving foes.
- Water Trident: Also removes 1 condition. Healing from regeneration increased a little. Pretty nice skill. However I still feel it needs something.
- Air:
- AA: Increase base damage. Decrease difference between damage in first and last stage. When fully chanelled, inflict weakness on your target for 2 sec. This skill just feels really clunky. Nobody will ever channel it fully when he can swap to fire for higher damage or to water/earth for some support. It’s casting time is just too long with a little reward. If you want long casting time, improve the reward.
- Lightning Strike: Great skill. No changes needed.
- Blinding Flash: Also hits up to 2 additional enemies around your target (radius 180). Even it can be pretty useful, it still needs a little improvement.
-Earth:
- AA: Decrease casting time to 3/4 sec. Same problem as fire aa.
- Rock Barrier: Decrease casting time to 3/4 sec. Changed animation so that those rocks are circling around you (Like in Armor of Earth). Sorry but I just don’t like how it looks like. But who knows, maybe someone does.
- Hurl: Each strike inflict cripple. I think that cripple is really needed here.
- Dust Devil: Increase radius a little.
Focus changes:
- Flamewall: Decrease casting time to 1/4 sec. Increase burning duration.
- Fire Shield: Decrease cd to 20, or at least 30 sec.
- Freezing Gust: Increase damage, or instead make it chill nearby foes as well.
If at least half of these changes ever happens, I would be more than satisfied.
- Chrono – I just love time magic.
- Reaper – I’ll spend most of my time in PvP with this one. Reaper’s Shroud has probably the best skill animations in game (At least for me).
- Herald – I am so excited for rev, and for herald even more.
(Note: I also really like Druid, but there’s not enough space for him.)
Currently I main ele, but I am 99% sure I will change it in HoT (Because Tempest totally failed me and, even when I love my ele, I just want to play something new.) Still deciding between Rev and Chrono. At least for PvE. In PvP I will spend most of my time with Reaper.
So I guess it’s probably this:
- Sword – Berserker
- Clock – Chrono (surprise!)
- Boot – Daredevil
- Strange shield – DragonBlunter
- Sun – Druid
- Dragon – Herald
- Hooded man – Reaper
- Gear – Scrapper
- Whirl – Tempest
However I am surprised there’s still no discussion about this picture in HoT and other classes subforums. Looks like they are too busy complaining about recent patch.
it is unlikely to be a coincidence that they are alphabetical
Lol, I didn’t notice. Nice remark.
Looks like people are most excited for Reaper. Doesn’t surprise me. It’s a great spec.
