A very small price to pay for 1 more sigil, more stats and versatile skill setup

It is not more stats. And it is less weapon damage.

ENGINEER GRENADE KIT NUMBER 1 SKILL GIVEN AUTOATTACK.

Please, please do this. It is the only thing stopping me from playing an Engineer.

• signet build still kitten weak
• glyph build still kitten weak

Neither of those are true, but you have to actually go out and use the builds rather than theorycraft why they suck all the time.

I do use a signet build, and YES, it is weak. But at least it is stronger than a Glyph build…

You really need to stop your annoying one man crusade against game balance.

Projectile Finishers better ignore the 5 limit.

Stoning just got a whole lot weaker. 100% projectile attacks got the shaft

You must have been using a Flamethrower, Arc Lightning, etc. Those skills trigger Retaliation multiple times a second. Firing at a group who all have retaliation will kill you in less than a second.

I hate the whole concept of dailies.

Lingering Elements only works with the 5 point water trait. Nothing else. Anet should probably fix this.

Knote.2904:

An option I’d really like to see is smart ground targeting when targeting areas that are out of range.

Like if I use a 900 range teleport, but I cast it at 1000 range, then it still casts at its maximum 900 range in the direction of where I tried to cast it. Instead, right now it just fails until you target within range, which usually means you’ll waste like 100 range.

This would be a huge QOL change.

+1. Especially for the teleport spells.

Ouch.

I believe Lingering Elements only works with the 5 point Water trait. So it is rubbish.

This bug got me owned a few times in the Gauntlet.

Start with the super-lag skills please. Things like Ride the Lagning and Burning Retreat.

It’s already planned. I stumbled across a sellable ascended armour component on the TP. And it does use cotton.

That does not mean it cannot be changed.

That is almost exactly what it means….

Because once they add some code that has not even been implemented live yet, it cannot be changed or the world explodes.

I am getting freezes, then massive speed catchups lately. I will look at the exact time when it happens next.

Anet are trying to force Elementalists into a support role.

Seeing as no elementalists were harmed in the making of the last competitive tournament in GW2…I think devs are going to rethink the class.

This is just my opinion, but that was probably the boldest statement the class could make. Not that there was just one…there was just none.

/rhyme

Yes at 15th october conjures are getting buffed everyone will be using them

and the healing spell geyser get incr radius and we get some kind of line of warding like guardian has

i mean they fixed ele this was our problem the whole time

More radius of geyser and line of warding and conjures bom we are fixed

This HAS to be sarcastic.

He only posts sarcasm.

And I have found a new worst post on the GW2 forums. Be proud, TC. Be proud.

Talyn.3295:

And why would we leave cotton out? I say we follow the pattern, if the price goes up due to this, that is the cost of doing business.

Yeah, because the pattern works soooo well for weapons…

Seregmir.6375:

As far as I know, Warrior can get about 790hp / sec passive, with full adrenaline, 25 sigil stacks, food, runes and of course with best items. That is about 1125 hp / sec with regeneration and 2175 hp per shout with 20, 20, 24 sec CDs. And all this with 3 k attack, 3,3 k armor and 22,7 k hp. So have fun with that…

They still die to power mesmer builds — don’t expect a single build from a single profession to beat any and every prof/build combo you can find. It’s more like rock/paper/scissors (and GW1 was sorta like that as well). Warrior is just the rock to your scissors right now.

Everyone loses to Mesmers 1v1. Warriors are still overpowered.

Nike.2631:

It gained even more +crit damage when it lost the magic find.

Um, no. It gained nothing, which is why most people banked it.

Now that it lost the magic find, it should be non-timegated.

Soft wood was bad enough, but Cotton will be a zillion times worse. Please do not have it as an ascended ingredient.

Aberrant.6749:

It will be Ava lol. Just look at the recipe for leather (huntsman). 20T2, 10T3, 20T4… refined. GG trying to farm that at 80… every single day.

Cotton doubled in price in the past 24h… and it’s still climbing.

http://www.gw2spidy.com/item/19741

I don’t expect them to put in cotton plants for us to go farm or anything either.

:(

Cotton better not be needed for ascended. If it is, the Anet economist is clueless.

Why do you add apostrophes randomly to words?

Arkham Creed.7358:

Ascended armor? When did they add this? Or is this another of Dulfy’s leaks?

They were added into the dat file or some crap, and now people are linking them all over the place.

Smooth Penguin.5294:

You can cover it with a helm.

That…was really lame.

Refining scraps will get you to 425, if it is the same as weapons.

These are way easier to farm than Charged Lodestones.

First, completely and utterly wrong! I’ve been farming these faster than silver doubloons since the game came out. Wanze, please add something constructive to forum posts for once. We don’t need to know what your farming or how much you’ve spent doing so, or how you do “research” and then don’t share it with the rest of us so you can keep making your money. None of it provides a valid argument of why silver doubloon prices are so high or why there are so little.

Second, this conversation has been going on here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/crafting/Silver-Doubloons-is-this-for-real/page/2#post2929107

This is bad but those who need the gold will fight for the high prices. Silver doubloons are just one of those things either overlooked or ignored by Anet and will continue to be so until more people say something against the price of them than for the price of them. Good luck and good hunting!

Well, i got more 300 doubloons out of lootbags while making profits off the high prices in the last month, so for me doubloons are easier to get than lodestones, i guess this always depends on your playing style.

I also dont see how moaning about high prices of a specific item on the forums is constructive.
You are posting here on the forums in order to de-value Silver Doubloons because you need some. Shouldnt other people be allowed to post on the forums in order to increase the value of Silver Doubloons because the want to sell them?
As long as these topics keep popping up on the forums, prices will rise because you draw the attention to speculators.

Thats fine with me because i dont need to do brainless zerg fests anymore or whatever people do these days to make a mediocre 10g/hour.
I leave that to other people who will give me their gold via the trading post.

If you find that unfair and disagree with that, dont blame me for that.

I just play the game the way I want.

You did not farm them at all…

The price is clearly too high in comparison to other Legendary mats.

Elementalists need more base health. This would make toughness not suck, and give them needed, passive, survivability.

Emperor.1360:

Suggestion: Make ability stats MUCH MORE OBVIOUS and TRANSPARENT for the sole purpose of choosing effective gear to match a build.

I believe that one of the single, greatest reasons why so many players argue that the elementalist or whatever other class is “underpowered” is because these players have NO IDEA about what stats to use for gear. Because of the vast array of different stat combinations on gear, finding a suitable stat combination through purely trial-and-error takes forever and is confounding.

Seriously: look at the elementalist forum, for example. It is chock-full of well-meaning individuals giving various suggestions for gear. The advice from even supposedly “good/famous” elementalists is poor (full celestial, anyone?!).

Since we lack the capability to measure what ability scores are more effective for certain traits, we cannot do the math (as Elitist Jerks did in World of Warcraft, for example) to provide guidance and clear statistics for a given stat combination. Everyone is just shooting in the dark, hoping that their chosen gear selection is good.

This turned me off when I first began playing at release; choosing a gear setup was UTTERLY FRUSTRATING to me because I could not see much tangible, mathematical difference between Gear Set A and Gear Set B.

Hopefully the revised combat log will help in this regard.

Frankly, however, I believe the confusion regarding gear selection causes the following problems for this game:

1. Since players have sub-optimal gear, due to incorrect or even no guidance in their choices, they believe that certain classes are weak or useless.

2. The above players either: A, complain; B, quit playing. I myself quit for a while purely out of frustration with choosing gear to suit what I wanted to do.

Elementalists ARE underpowered in PvP. And I have not really seen bad gear advice since Celestial lost its MF.

and if “all pets get immunity to AOE” they will be broken in half in any pvp wvw scenario.

If I recall correctly, every single MLG team in the sPvP tourney was running a spirit ranger. “Mediocre at best.”

Come up with a better solution.

Nope they won’t because they are already weak. The last pet to be weakened were the Rangers.

This is exactly beside the point however, because this kind of thing has been done countless times in other games as the fixall for the heavy pet class system and it works! They know it’s a problem and you guys blew up the forums when they talked about nerfing AOEs well something has to be done and giving pets a 90% immunity to AOE damage across the board has been tested before.

But I predict mind you that instead of actually looking at the development history of these systems they’ll continue to delay this mechanism and continue to have cookie cutter non-pet heavy builds for at least another year before someone actually looks at it and says “hey you know what? why don’t we do this? it’s been done before” and poof it will be finally done but it will most likely be too late because people will have moved on to something else most likely having been tired of waiting on something so simple.

WoW has one of the most reputable/successful hunter/pet systems in MMO history, and to my knowledge, has never nerfed AOE for it.

WoW pets have like 90% AoE resistance, and some AI designed to avoid stuff. Your knowledge is lacking.

Giving GW2 pets “AOE” resistance would be giving them resistance to pretty much every single melee attack out there.

Very few non-ranged attacks hit only 1 target.

It would be PvE only.

It is PC only, AND it is done by IGN. IGN rate based on how much advertising revenue (bribes) they are given.

The ironing is delicious.

Anet will probably make each hairstyle a separate gemstore purchase.

Talindra.4958:

i love shocking aura! :P i dare you to hit me when i have tht on
spreading shocking aura on allies, is GG

also frost aura – chills foes and reduce damage — great skill

And fire aura! Oh wait…

If you think the downed state is cheating, you need to play a new profession…

Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

Ahahahahahahahahaha! Good one! Suggesting Anet will not milk everyone for gems? Comedy gold!

If only Anet had their own site to post this stuff on.

But a better explanation would have been nice instead of this useless sentence.

Yes the e-mail should have specified it was for the Elonian Wine fiasco but Gaile made a post explaining the refund, but such would require folks to look around the forums a bit and not just insta-post.

The forum search is currently broken.

Good read. Now they need to find a way to put it in the game.

Yes, remove this. Then there will no longer be a reason to play Elementalists.

I think chicks named Alex would look hot in this.

Queue’s? Queue’s what? What does he/she/it possess?

We need to know when to stop tanking our rating. 7th >>>>> 6th.

Nice.

‘One-shotted’ him? How does that work? :P
