Oh how I miss the Guild Wars 1 days where coming up with a creative solution was praised by the community and Anet alike and not hated on because it makes the encounter to easy wasn’t thought of by them and is a clever use of skills that is completely within the game parameters and not an exploit.

You obviously don’t remember all of the iterations Shadow Form went through.

There is a difference between something being used for a few encounters and something being used to cheese the entire game. Plus I stopped playing GW1 for a few years while that went down.

Don’t get me wrong I just want body locking removed completely in all game modes, so if they will remove from one fight because it makes the fight easier they should just remove it all together.

How about no? This is pretty good mechanic, and removing it just because one boss fight out of hundreds in game is beyond stupid. They will fix this encounter and thats it.

no your right grind isnt the problem,well not the only problem.the main problem is that the game is being taken in a direction most players would rather it didnt go.
am i implying i represent these people,no,but i read the forums.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. Raids are just a side dish to the entire game which is really easy. The game during the beta weekends was as hard as Silverwastes and that was just in the starting zones so because of the outcry they toned it back. I don’t blame them for that but now they are dialing the difficulty back up to where it was supposed to be which is a good thing. Mobs used to actually dodge and evade players in Starting Zones of all things. The player base is so bad because you never have to try anywhere and then when you finally do its like the sky is falling.

I’m glad there is finally going to be a reward (besides Glorious Hero Armor, you know, the one that requires placing at the top of PvP tournaments/seasons. How I wish Anet would just give me that armor but I accept that it is a reward for those top players) that will require some semblance of skill to acquire. The amount of 150 LI is to curb that amount of people buying the armor down so it doesn’t become another joke of a reward.

I’ve done the fight with and without using the Flesh Worm (or Seed Turret/Healing Seed if Sylvari) and I personally don’t see any big deal with it because it is a good use for skills that will never get used otherwise. I love finding uses for skills that seem terrible but end up shining and being the best skill ever in some scenarios. While I still played Guardian before HoT, I actually found a use for all but signet of mercy in fractals and it felt good.

The reason hammer does more damage is because of the symbol up time which causes the trait for +10% damage to always be in effect. Also greatsword auto attack is terrible for what it is and should always be swapped out of when 2-5 are on CD. The hammer really works wonders on fights where the boss doesn’t move around so much which for most raid bosses, if you’re doing them correctly, they don’t move around to much anyhow. Plus the 100% protection upkeep is amazing.

Xpac 2: what could replace DH/Longbow?

in Guardian

Posted by: Azoqu.8917

Azoqu.8917

My opinion for what will be the other option then Dragonhunter is the tomes. And since 6 skills that replace your weapon skills (so 30 skills compared to other classes 8-11 with the exception of elementalist) would be insane, I doubt we would receive a weapon with tomes. If anything we’d lose weapon swap and just gain 6 tomes which would be fine so long as the tomes all filled a different role:
Tome of Courage – Defensive buffs and condition removal.
Tome of Wrath – Long range burning like the old tome of wrath.
Tome of Resolve – Healing skills based off of the old elite tome. Name is different because it lines up with the virtues.
A tome for offensive utility like quickness, might and alacrity.
A tome based off of PBAoE direct damage.
Then another tome for the elite skill that would be something crazy unique.

Just my option if we get tomes that we’d get no new weapon but wouldn’t need a new one since we’d be receiving the equivalent of 6 new weapons.

I’m not against using different weapons, but it seems like LB/GS isn’t the way to go in high end stuff, and that was one of the most exciting things about the expansion, guardian with a real form of range.

Just to let you know, the reason LB/GS aren’t used in high end stuff (really just raids, dungeons are whatever) is that hammer actually has the highest damage out of all of the weapons and you pair it with mace+focus just for the opening. LB/GS are great in fractals and dungeons because they are both burst weapons and the fights don’t last long enough to justify using the hammer really.

I am player who is really ill rl. I like to play raids but i cant take part to pro raid guild , due to rl “rotation” . I manage to get 3-4 li per week if try hard. Should i also give up on legi armor coz im not capable of following the pace. I wish i could have chance but this number i know is to much for me. Its just how i feel wanted to say , wish u all gl.

I dont think Anet should go to the lowest possible denominator when it comes to legendary items. Besides if you can get only 4 LI (which is basically just the easiest bosses you can do) per week you still have 150 LI after just 37,5 weeks.

so a 9 month time gate is ok.

right.

A 4 month time gate, 9 month, or an entire year is perfectly fine for legendary armor. Actually for how legendaries should be they all should take way longer to get than they do now. Waiting on my fractal back piece was long especially since PvPers got theirs first. And for current raiders, we’ve had to wait for 8 months for the armor so far and it’s looking to be another 2-3 months which will take it close to an entire year. So 4-9 months looks extremely shorter in comparison.

They gave us Tequatl the Sunless, and that still fills several maps every single day every 4 hours.

Funny how quick people are to forget that when Tequatl was first updated that many servers could not beat him for weeks. Now everyone thinks he’s easy mode now yet he was never nerfed according to Anet. The player base just got better.

From your first statement: " I would use this device even as a mesmer, because it would free up a much more valuable utility slot.", I understand that you don’t run a mesmer. And still, you can give advice to a mesmer only user of how he can use the utility slots :-))). BTW – the utility is the main reason the mesmers exists. The DPS is legendary low, so the only fact that still keeps the mesmer alive is its utility list. And one of the most important utilities is given to all the players :-))

No, Mesmers exist nowadays for alacrity and quickness and since I highly doubt any other classes will be given the same amount of output as Mesmers of those two things, you can safely consider your spot in groups safe. Unlike Warriors who are starting to be seen as pointless slowly because Mesmers can give alacrity, quickness, and 25 MIGHT all in the same build. And before you bring up empowered allies (I think that’s its name) and banners, I’d much rather ditch super low DPS that brings banners for a class that does way more. So if any class complains about stuff being taken from them, I believe Mesmers are at the bottom of the list for being allowed to complain.

Oh and my Guardian wants his aegis back. All sources of aegis are either Guardian, random chance or a condition conversion of Burning (only damaging conditions Guardians have, gasp) to aegis. So I want you to give me my well, that is clearly Guardian and that they would kill for, back to me.

Plus, portal is something that should never have been a class specific skill anyhow. It has to much utilitarian purposes to be limited to only one class and not for all players. How I would love to not have to wait on all the bad Mesmer jumpers during guild puzzles to get to the end.

I like the fact that it requires 150 LI. It keeps it mostly in the hands of better players by making it super expensive to buy that many. Now I could get behind speeding up the process by allowing you to get a second insight off each boss so long as you have killed everything. So if you killed all the bosses you could go fight trio again for another LI. Then in order to get a 3rd insight off of trio you would need to complete all the bosses again.

I am just really hoping that in the second achievement for the precursor armor that there is a set that requires personal skill that no one can help you with so that anyone in the armor you know is a good player.

What lost revenue? No one in their right mind buys the upgrade extractor because nothing worth extracting can make up the cost of the extractor. Now a Gold-fed Salvage-o-matic would be nice for getting upgrades out and is justifiable to use on a vast array of runes and sigils.

I hope the next round of Elite Specializations has something like Mesmer Portal. I look forward to your posts then.

Lets not do that. Its one thing to have a utility device copy a utility skill, especially one that is expensive and hard to get. Its another to give away one of the most iconic skills in the game to another class for literally no reason

Ya cause Mesmer hasn’t already stolen aegis from Guardian and Revenant hasn’t toppled Guardian as the boon class.

To the argument of server performance on this item: I’m pretty sure it takes more resources to remember what the exact time is on a 1800s CD than on a 90s CD.

To the argument of unique class skill: Mesmers, my Guardian wants his aegis back (stupid broken well).

Edit:

Based on the discussions in this thread and on the GW2 subreddit.

Hm, most upvoted post is about keeping cooldown 30m and multiple supporters of his position, well, now that seems like real community opinion.

Except everything raid related is down voted like no tomorrow on reddit. And I do mean everything. So of course the anti-raider option has more upvotes.

You see, I totally disagree with you and also think the cooldown of the item should be reduced to something reasonable. And this is not because it costs the equivalent of 500g to get. It’s because in my opinion portal is used most of the time to cheese out stuff like jumping puzzles more than anything and I always thought portal should have been something accessible to all classes and not a way for one to make money in some instances. Lets face it, no other class can make money off a utility skill they get for free.

“GW2 the MMO that there is no point in playing because it’s just as fun as reading a wiki page”

Sorry, but GW2 has always been there since the head start. This is because there is nothing in the game that can’t be bought with gold. Gameplay is great but any sense of accomplishment is always watered down once you realized you could of just been a TP baron and done it way faster. So the fact that there is something in the game that almost gets there is nice, but you can always just buy a run through the raids for pretty cheap and you only have to do it once to get the story.

Matthias - Staff Tempest Healer?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Azoqu.8917

Azoqu.8917

I myself play staff ele for Matthias and it works quite well.

As far as action camera goes, I don’t see why it would ever be necessary to use it. I don’t use it on any character I play at all, and I certainly wouldn’t think of using it on a staff ele.

The whole reason to use the action camera (have it on an easy to toggle key, sometimes aiming is annoying with it on) is the fact that you can aim your auto attack at the ground of someone who needs heals. The attack will hit the ground and even though it does not hit an enemy it will still heal those around the location it landed at. This is the one build where the action camera is a must to use it to its fullest imo.

Edit: And while using the action camera, you actually have a targeted heal that is not AoE based around you.

Why should i play guardian?

Honestly, if you’re asking if you should keep playing the class then I suggest you just stop playing it. I would not blame you either, the class is almost 4 years old while the other classes are only 8 months (lets be honest here, the Guardian is a relic from when the game first came out, and if it was made when the Rev was made it would have a lot more going on).

Why is map taxi seen as bad?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Azoqu.8917

Azoqu.8917

You think taxing over to Teq 30 minutes before reset is bad? Try hoping to find a map a 3 hours before Teq- and still be stuck an overflow.

Ah I remember when Teq was first updated to how he is now, if you got on one of the top maps you stayed there and didn’t leave ever. I was there for the 2nd ever kill of that giant lizard (BG for life!), would of been there for the first but my computer had a quick disconnect and I got booted out. And not only was there the taxing with guesting for Teq but there was also the fact that every server had a different time for world bosses and it was random. If mega servers weren’t added, good luck completing any world boss now that is needed for a collection. Anyone who complains about the mega server clearly did not play when all the servers were separate.

Boon Thieves (Fractals) is badly designed

As someone who mained a Guardian until HoT, I find it quite sad that the class constantly gets kitten on by Anet. Boon stealing is terrible for them since there goes the protection and retaliation, light fields are the biggest waste of space ever (why can’t the symbols now burn trait make them all fire fields?), and everything they really do is done better by another class. Guardians are left so far back that I don’t know why you would really bring them to begin with and that is compounded on with the fact that the game hates on them even further.

I, personally, would be all up for allowing people who don’t raid to get Legendary armor/other raid rewards assuming there was a step that was shared between the two that was a test of personal skill. The reason for this is that the rewards would be a mark of “this player is this good” and not just a gold grind fest like everything else in the game. The only way to accomplish this is to have the players do a task in a solo instance, eg. soloing Lupi with no one else in your group. Truthfully I really hope that Legendary armor has this requirement in a future collection for it to stop all the fat cats who have bought raid runs from ruining the prestige that a legendary should have.

Chronomancer or Dragonhunter for raids

Posted by: Azoqu.8917

Azoqu.8917

If your looking to raid with the second class I highly suggest the chrono as well. The reasons are that if people know you have a druid, they will never let you be a Dragon hunter but they will let you be a chrono depending on what they can find. Also in wing two, most people will be using two druids so it gets even harder to be allowed to play something else unless it is a high in demand class that not many play.

I am glad that the swamp meta is gone. kittening hated it. Yesterday I also ran all of the dailies for both days (before and after reset) and I must say, I love getting Elonian leather and not having to run 9 fractals and only running 3. The only fear I have is having to solo level 100 Mai because of all the bads that want to get all the dailies done in the future. With a good group it took me all of 15 minutes and with a decent group it ended up taking 30 minutes. I really don’t know why people fear it that much.

Devs need to give ele a proper damage spec for pvp, which could either be D/D back, or a proper scepter buff instead of these jokes they have been giving it. Then, and only then, you can talk about nerfing our boring (and only viable) support build.

I totally agree with actual scepter buffs. Dragon tooth should hit for 5k with a power amulet and crit for insane amounts. Lets be honest here, if you get hit by one of those you are bad and should just quit pvp anyhow.

Another thing that might be hurting your ability to get into groups: Warrior and Revenant are both very common classes for people to play and each group only needs a make of 1 of each. Expanding into the more sought after classes/rolls would help. Ranger because every group needs a healer and many don’t like playing one. Elementalist because they add a lot to the group while bringing the best damage. Necromancer for wing 2 because they are just gods there. Having any of those classes would help in finding more groups.

I’m willing to deal. We put in an easy mode (no green circles, no orbs on gors, no cannons, no slublings, bandits can stay because lol, and Matthias just looks at you), you just have to live with not ever getting Living Story and no Legendary armor. You can enjoy the raid story and bosses all you like. Or if you want Living Story than easy mode just makes you immune to all damage and you can solo everything.

Raids Vs. Legendary's Vs. PvP Vs. WvW?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Azoqu.8917

Azoqu.8917

I don’t get why raids were added when there weren’t even enough resources for PvE, PvP and WvW.

The whole thing is starting to sound like the dev line from Blizzard (WoW) where they say, “If you want it, it will cost you a raid tier.” But in this case, the raid cost us a Legendary tier.

As too the OP’s question, I don’t do what’s on his list. I’ve been primarily PvE, although I was considering one of the new upcoming Legendaries if they made one to my taste.

The raids didn’t cost you anything. They’re the only team putting out content at the moment so I say props to them. Legendaries are so specific in who they target it is not even funny and they need to shoe horn them into existing content. If you say raids target a specific group of people as well, I counter with the fact that it is not as narrow as Legendaries.
1) Everyone can go into a raid
2) Not everyone has a class that can use a shortbow (hello theif and ranger), this can be said about every Legendary weapon that comes out. The closest to being for everyone is Staff.
3) Not everyone has the money to get a Legendary (and Ascended armor costs less than a Legendary so don’t give me that excuse)
4) We need something PvE wise that requires you to not be a total idiot at this game (would love Fractals 101-110 be all new fractals on same difficulty with raids for 5 man content)

That’s my rambling for today.

Edit: And don’t be calling me a white knight. There are a ton of things I think A-net could do better. And yes, I am somewhat sad we won’t be getting new Legendaries. But raids are not the problem.

The reason Elementalists can stack boons is because they have terrible armor and health. If you removed their way to survive while keeping them at low health you would have to make them a true glass cannon and increase their damage by over 3x if you wanted a slight breeze to blow them over.

Here is what I do not get, Quickness affects everyone and has a 50% buff to it, alacrity affects everyone and had a 66% buff to everyone then got it dropped to 33%.

If its such a balance issue why didnt we see a quickness nerf too since they basically do the same thing (affect the speed of which we can activate skills with, which also enhance our ability to spam skills that are on a shorter cooldown).

All things aside, that is what i want to know most.

In case you didn’t know, quickness has been nerfed from 100% to 50% in the past (the same change that alacrity got).

Ability to wear different armour types

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Azoqu.8917

Azoqu.8917

All Anet has to do is sell us “outfit” slots. What they would be is a customized armor creation that you could wear at any time. So if you made one using a heavy armor you could only use heavy armor in that slot (gets around the clipping issue) but it would allow you to put a light or medium character in heavy armor and vice versa. It could also be used by people who like many different looks but do not have the charges to change when they want to. You might argue: but Anet won’t make money off of selling charges. To which I say: changing a piece in these slots would still cost a charge but equipping and un-equipping would not. It would let people customize their character to their liking while not messing with clipping issues or balance issues.

Nevermore projectile detail

Nevermore is a nice looking weapon and I do have one, but I wish there were two changes to it. Why is the arm black with it? The entire staff is spirit/etherial based which are all pale blue in the game and the spirit is pale blue and then there is a black arm. It feels so off. The other change is to make the projectiles stay a raven longer than they do. It changes from a raven to just a bolt way to quick. I also wouldn’t mind if skills like meteor shower changed to have ravens falling from the sky and the explosion on the ground was blue instead of red.

Profession Balance Goals Released - Guardian

in Guardian

Posted by: Azoqu.8917

Azoqu.8917

The design behind concepts doesn’t make sense in this game. On one hand you have a profession like Warriors whose concept is essentially to be the master of nearly everything and then you have Guardians which only really have support and defense. The limit behind the Guardian concept is terribly vague and really hinders Guardian balance while say Warriors are free reign to receive much more in comparison.

This always ticks me off when I think about it. PS might giving should of been something the Guardian should have done and not the Warrior. Makes more sense because Guardian was supposed to be the boon class (though that is now Revenant). All Anet had to do was remove the stupid ICD from that one trait…
