sup guys.
So Ive only found the fire wyvern, thats it. Im pretty sure I know where the bristle is, but other than that im lost.
im posting wanted posters around maguuma and tyria. please help.
Just wanted to say TY anet love scrapper so much fun for me and such a welcome change to my engi.
it really is a joy to use. sadly, I like all of the elite specs and cant settle on which one to even start story with
The Bereserker is the worst HoT elite spec hands down. There is no possible way to defend it or argue against that fact.
The berserker spec trait like actually DOWNGRADES the warrior and makes him weaker, you won’t see a single Warrior grind for the hero points nor bother to get the elite spec. And in PVP they prefer remaining as a warrior.
Compared to the Necros,guards,rangers and thieves for example. Who have elite skills that nearly double their strengths, and no life the game for 10 hours a day in the jungle just to get those powerful Elite specs.
Months of balancing and ideas and yet Arena net somehow managed to find a way to make Warriors WEAKER with the elite spec. My mind is blown.
berserker as of right now could be the highest dps spec. need to test more, but its up there
where are you guys reading this from?
im pure zerk with dhuumfire. when I get quickness ive had up to 3k burning damage. its def worth it
@ NikeEU thank you for number crunching. Ive been so busy between DH Reaper and Herald as well, I havent had time to focus on Berserker. I was pretty positive berserker could replace Arms even in BWE3 but people said it wasnt worth it. I think youre the only person that said it could of possibly be a dps increase but had to number crunch.
im just curious.
Is rev a buff bot? dps?
since HoT came out all ive been doing is HoT maps I havent touched fractals yet. After playing a good amount with all the elite specs, I simply cannot see where Reaper/Herald fit in a team. Mind you, those are 2/3 of my favorite elite specs so far, I just dont know what they bring to a team really. I was thinking Herald would replace warrior, but Berserker elite spec just does way too much damage.
I honestly think the only thing that makes rev competitive in pvp is the glint heal.
ive always had 1 or 2 main characters, and use the rest for random stuff.
However, I have 8/9 elite specs unlocked and right now I simply cannot choose a profession for pve. Ill always be necro for pvp, but man… I like all of them so much. I feel like I want to use herald/rev because its new, but it also seems a bit too simple to use forever.
I dunno, anyone else ocd like me
I’m just in love with Chronomancer. I think Chrono will see use in any PvE aspect in the game.
-Dungeons: double Time Warp, Alacrity, reflects, portal,… A mesmer just turns bad dps into great dps and turns great dps into godly dps.-Open world: overal just a better base mesmer, the Time Marches On trait makes you quite fast. You got decent survivability in the jungle even with squishy stats.
-Raids: not sure yet but i’m quite sure Chrono will have a spot in Raids just because of (double) Time warp, Alacrity,…
Oh and Chrono has amazing breakbar breaking abilities: Shield #5, GS #5, Diversion and even effects like slow and cripple help lowering the break bar over time (Well of Calamity, Action) Gravity Well is Godly as well. I’m probably missing a lot more.
As someone who played Mesmer since release and got kind of bored it over the years, i’m very much entertained with Chronomancer.
As base mesmer i sometimes felt useless in places where portal wasn’t really useful & reflects weren’t necessary. TW and thats it. With Chrono there is a lot more you can do.
same here bro. I was a mesmer main for years and just got bored of it. ive been playing warrior so much lately that I auto drifted to rev, yet, chrono is perfect for me. I have trouble comprehending mesmer being good in pve
? The Herald has so much frigging utility. I’m having a hard time grasping what you mean here.
(Revenant) are lacking a lot in terms of real utility.
Herald is overrated. Activating your auras puts a strain on your energy regen, which in turn lowers your personal dps. You’re pretty much force to turn off your auras, or just auto attack, if the fight lasts longer than a minute. Pretty much turning you into some buff bot for your party. Other classes don’t really sacrifice much for applying some boons to people. Ie. Guardians can give everyone might on crit. Warriors could do it even better, by applying might to everyone every time they get might. Fury is nice, but not really necessary.
The Herald just wins out in terms of laziness, which isn’t a bad thing. Just making the Herald work better via “player skill” isn’t going to happen.
You’re also locked into playing Herald, as switching stances suddenly makes you have none of those boons/utility.
warrior is forced into phalanx strength and cant even weapon swap. drops 2 banners and its a might bot
so far im about to finish herald, and while rev supposedly has more dps, I dont feel it. Rev has no burst attack, its all auto attack. I dunno, I like rev a lot, but besides hammer I dont feel that powerful
no burst attack? are you high? unrelenting assault is a 10k damage spike while in evasion, what more do you want from a burst skill?
… thats not a burst first of all. it does 10k, to one enemy, if theres 2 you might get 5k, 3 ,maybe 3k. its more of an evade. it actually does less dps per second than auto attack.
I think in open world pve bezerker is fine but the numbers still come out with arms on top. That being said it’s not a huge different with the math I got and in fights where have some disconnect it might pull even with riffle
Nope.
Strength, Tactics, Bers is well ahead of Arms for group play. Not particularly close.
For open world, Strength, Arms, Berserker is insane.
P.S. Rifle? Oh my eyes…
agreed wit all of the above. Im still not sure if im SOLD on berserker being “good” but… well im not sure what to think. But the dps im pulling off is ridiculous. I feel much more powerful than my herald tbh
During the Beta I was not really excited with the DH, but now in my main with the right gear and build I am loving it, the longbow surprised me and is doing a very good damage and I am not even full zerk as I am a 90% of time in WvW I use a mix of Soldier and Zerk.
Truth is that I have played a loI of PvE this weekend and Eotm (that is very different from regular wvw maps) so I could not really test it roaming or on serious zerg fight in WvW, but so far I am very happy with it.
samething. during beta, dh was meh to me.
now that I have all of the elite specs except druid, DH is amazing to me. I like it as much as reaper and herald, and I think i jus like herald because rev is new
Still the staff skills are lacking.
At least one of the skills should apply a condition, mostly confusion. The skills are mediocre at best. And those healing orbs last for 2 seconds, that’s nothing. And the skill 2 counter is awful, too.
The staff is lacking something. Yes, it’s a support weapon but it’s just bad right now.
Why should it add confusion? It’s NOT a DPS weapon, it’s NOT a condition weapon. It’s for UTILITY. The only skill that needs a rework is skill 2 as it very rarely connects. A lot of people who complain about staff just don’t know how and when to use it. Staff 3 is a fantastic block on a decent cooldown. Staff 5 gives you an evade, gap close, escape or interrupt. I mean it’s a 3 target knockback that does damage, t’s fantastic for interrupting rezzes/stomps.
I think staff is a lot better than people think, you just have to change your perception of the weapon and not ask for aNet to change it to what you think it should be.
funny thing is, staff has close to no utility
ive been telling you guys for 3 years
Ranger will never be good
it doesnt even take long. I have 6 elites done. Once you do the hero points once, in the first 3 maps, theyre easy to find again. I have helped people get hero points every day to max their spec.
it took me 13 entire hours to do chronomancer, after that it was about an hour each for the rest.
easy.
ps, I dont feel like druid change that much
GS 1 is one of the best ranged attacks. cant be reflected, pierces.. almost too good
I wanted to use berserker so I said meh to heck with number crunching let me just use it.
I really, really, really enjoy going berserk. It feels so strong and fast, which is how warrior should be.
Now, this is for PVE, but GS/Rifle is working wonders. I was able to solo all of tangled paths and got 9/11 hero points alone, needed help clearing event for one, and the other im going to go get later. Im not at all saying its better than baseline warrior, cuz its not, but the 12-16k gun flame on a regular basis is very convenient.
Now I havent ran any fracs yet so its probably all an illusion, but I can at least say I tried right?
rev staff is unbelievably awful imo
If you think staff is awful, you don’t know how to use it yet. It’s a great weapon.
really? what are you using it for? im curious. I was using it for break bars originally but hammer 5 + jade wind takes care of it just as fast or better.
pvp I cant get anything done with it and ive never been bothered by anyone that used it against me
I use it in multiple situations. I’ll switch to staff after landing unrelenting, follow the burst up with a staff 5 knockdown, dodge roll to them, staff 2 normally interrupts the panic heal they are trying to do and the player is normally down. The staff 3 block is on a short CD. Staff 5 can be used to evade, escape and interrupt stomps. Staff will be even better once they fix the condi cleanse on staff 4. It’s saved me multiple times being able to chain an evade, block then switch to sword/shield for another block.
im not trying to be mean, but nothing you said made any kind of sense. Why would you switch to staff after UA? youre literally just losing damage. 5 isnt really a burst. Youre wasting a dodge roll.
the second someone sees a rev in staff its kill them mode. its 9 seconds they cant do any damage except for a 20cd rush. staff 2 damage is so tiny its not a threat.
shrug

I met a a woman a few weeks ago, she seemed quite nice. We went out to dinner, it cost $48. We were going to see a movie but we ran way too late, so we went and got coffee and dessert, which ended up costing around $19.
Later we ended up getting a few drinks, which hit around $60 before tips.
It didnt really work out, wasnt interested.
One night of no enjoyment cost more than months/years of GW2.
k.
Guardian is better… Rev is trying too hard to be everyone else except a Revenant. They have no real direction in their abilities, and are lacking a lot in terms of real utility. And remember Guardian has been revamped a few times, so its a much more mature class. Only time will tell if Rev will actually get any better.
Gaurdian has better aoe stability
better reflects
Rev is better at everything else
I love the handglow it makes revs actually look unique.
berserker has a red hand glow now also.
yea I want a tanky condi build, or a good dps condi build to use as an alt to power. I dont see how it could be better or nearly as good but im willing to try it.

it looks like the old dragon helm from dragon bash, but even cheaper
I hate to give up on my dream weapon, but this bad boy stinks. It under performs on every level. the damage on 5 is decent somewhat as a burst, but it has a 20cd and its not even really meant for that anyway. the 2 is decent, the auto chain is dreadfully bad. 3 is meh and 4 is bugged.
It needs a major revamp and a SERIOUS damage buff. Its our 2 handed melee weapon and I dare say Ranger GS hits harder
are you guys joking???
wow
so far im about to finish herald, and while rev supposedly has more dps, I dont feel it. Rev has no burst attack, its all auto attack. I dunno, I like rev a lot, but besides hammer I dont feel that powerful
Say what you want about tempest, but you can’t deny how hawt that shoulder skin is. It’s easily the best armor skin of all the new elite specs.
actually I think its beyond awful I prefer chrono shoulders and reaper mask
im really disliking staff so far. ive tried any reason to use it and I Feel like its just so bad that its still in beta 1.
other than, I do agree, I like jalis a lot. I actually was doing better using jalis before I got glint…
40pts left til complete wooo
rev staff is unbelievably awful imo
I have to say, im almost done unlocking glint, and a lot of my opinions have changed.
I originally didnt like anything but glint, but now im having trouble playing anything other than shiro. I kind of annoyed that we dont have a warrior/Guardian GS type power attack, aka 100bs. All of our damage coming from auto attack works wonders, but im sitting here with an ascended staff that feels absolutely worthless.
Hammer is imo the best ranged weapon besides ele staff.
I dont feel as powerful as my reaper or chrono, or baseline warrior for the most part, but I do feel like one of the more powerful specs for pve (so far, just doing HoT stuff and such).
Really enjoying it way more than I expected. Very well made, and tied with chrono and reaper as my favs. Scrapper and Tempest are btw way better than people give credit too
best mmo expansion ive played since T2A UO.
you all cry way too much
if you need a tutorial then you really need to consider trying something else
so much salt.
It took me all day to unlock chronomancer, and while it was fun, it took a heck of a long time. I found it fun to roam the new maps and actually do something different besides zerging. A guildie and I found all the hero points that didnt require masteries to unlock our specs.
Thing is, once you know which hero points these are, its sooooo much easier. I logged into my necro and unlocked Reaper in under an hour.
I suggest getting a small group and map roaming guys, its easy
We all share your pain and frustration, there is not one person that is happy about the new mastery system, trust me in this
im happy with it.
I cried and cried and cried before launch when I found out it would be a grind. It took me all day to unlock my chronomancer, but now that I see where the hero points are and which dont need masteries, it took me 1 hour to unlock reaper.
too easy
not going to crunch numbers, speed runs , fracs etc etc whatever
Just saying, in the new maps, people are getting crushed. I see Tempest doing far better and surviving way better than most every other class not named Reaper tbh.
Ive been running with my tempest buddy to get hero points on my other professions and between air overload and auras it makes life 1000000x time easier. Soooo many smaller pack type things get crushed by Tempest (the mushrooms, smokescales, raptors etc).
gonna be honest, Tempest is really good for the new content
I havent seen a single berserker since launch. Some warriors, sure, but havent seen a single Berserker. I havent even used mine yet.

I unlocked chrono and reaper easily.
how? I traveled the maps and did the hero points with a bunch of guildies and friends. Yes, I did ones I needed no lores/masteries to get. It was friggen the most fun ive had in this game in years, literally.
Just reached precursor rank 1 mastery and unlocked the collection. First look: nope. Not this time. Karka queen, tequatl, ascalon fractals and all that stuff on rank 1 already wtf.
what did you expect? they said it would be a grind. its a friggen legendary, its supposed to take months
you guys cry so much.
you guys just want everything instantly. this is an mmo. I cant even… lol
ive unlocked chono and reaper already.
its not hard. youve had 3 years to get 214 hero points. you dont need much more
it is. its a big meaty mess imo. I find Rev to be boring and meh, until you get Herald. Herald makes it alllll worth it. In actuality, thats a bad thing, but ill take it
you know, im looking at it now, and I see that it shouldnt and wouldnt work at all. I really have no idea what I Was thinking. I have to convert with sinister set now meh
in my mind it work work quite well, slightly less dps but gain a little more in other categories. however, Im getting pummeled in the new areas :\
anyone having success?
works better with earth. used it in beta and people said tempest sucked anyway, but its good
do these drop in a tot bag? So many people are playing HoT im hearing little about halloween.
also can the old skins, Greatsaw and such, drop in the mad kings dungeon again?
Was hoping for baseline fast hands…QQ
I was hoping for anything. I refuse to believe theres been no changes since last beta. I simply refuse.
im still praying theres something for berserker somewhere… cant believe I still have such high hopes
