Golemancer specialization?

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Basaltface.2786

Basaltface.2786

why call it golemancer… or make it anything like golemancers? Why not an exo pilot?

http://www.guildwars2-pets.com/images/Miniatures/Pictures/Masterwork/Dredge%20Mining%20Suit.jpg

remember these? Those are exo suits…means its not far out…especially not for charr… and engi tech is charr tech. Needless to say there are golems with co(ck)pits (spellcheck is a meanie). Why not make a specialisation that actually uses golem\exo suits sorta like kits? A sort of “mix” between ranger and engi basically. You choose one suit you can call and dismiss and either let it fight like a pet\minion or pilot it and have it replace your skills and attacks with the suits abilities…almost like those asura elites. Id say this would be a blast to play, specially if done right. You can use the suit to soak aggro and range attack from behind or go in with the suit yourself and unleash the wrath of machines upon your enemies. Id play it

it’s a full heavy armor skin set called Mistward armor and Rytlock is not only one who wears it just the only NPC, it has been shown on every revenant pictured plus there is a full set weapons to go with it , axe and mace are called mist reaver and mist renderer

…whew… its not a stupid kittening outfit… good.

Charr and Medium Armour

Posted by: Basaltface.2786

Basaltface.2786

well there isnt a stat bonus for wearing a full set of armor…. runes however get stronger the more you got on your armor. How your armor looks is your business… you can transmute any skin to anything of the same type and weight class (like for example medium boots and medium boots) and can so create the look you like. As for medium armors… huh… as best look at them yourself

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Charr_medium_armor

you also can use the bank to bring up the wardrobe collection where you can see all weapon and armor skins in game sorted by type and weight class to roughly combine stuff and plan ahead your look

Hey, now. A lot of us are not on the “I hate Traeherne” team!

Well the other side feels cheated out of his\her glory by him. Same like kormir back then…but lets not go there…
He got the prophecy, the epic sword, the blessing of the pale tree and the leader role in the pact. What do i got? A bodyguard position for a group of destiny edge wannabes that call me boss to make me feel less lame… :\ I should be where thraherne is. I atleast dont need to get rezzed after every darn (story related) fight. Also he takes credit for MY work. While i bandage my bruised rear he struts arround giving orders and he wasnt even a military man before he took over the pact….ugh…

And again :
http://breonnick.tumblr.com/post/110228431745/serpentwined-greekceltic-kisskicker

Dont care. I should be the pact leader. Without me none of this would be even possible. Sure… 20 years in orr helped him a lot to basically learn almost everything i did over the undead while fighting them 10 meters besides his downed body. Without me the stupid airships wouldnt even be in the air to shoot the darn dragon down… or did you see any npc or traherne defending the darn things from the weaves of undead that got thrown onto it in a way that was effective? Did he even discover the spring of orr without me talking to the former kings of orr to even know where he needs to do his kittening life mission? Oh yea and do tell me how he or the pact defeated the mouth of zhaitan to cut down the dragons way to eat… well after i defeated the now to risen turned ones. Oh yea and who protected everybody while they did experiments on the darn dead eye of zhaitan? Me.. without me they would be dead…well risen and they had taken their secrets to the grave and their knowledge to zhaitan. Also tell me who caught the undead who wanted to steal the krait orb that protects the fort…oh yea and tell me who even got the darn thing in the first place just to state a few examples why i should have his darn job. What did he do for 20 years in orr? In that time i would be strong enough to kittening solo zhaitan (what i eventually did to the dungeon to prove a point with some help to open the door who needs 2 people standing on buttons to open it, couldnt help it) and map out the entire land mass to the detail to KNOW where i find the place to do my job. He is a godforsaken bookman.. im sure he could have drawn a map with points of interrest SOMETIME in 20 years or anything like that. But whatever… he should be at my my side as advisor and nothing else.

So . . . we’re actually jealous of Traeherne? He can have that job! Look where it got him. Snack food for his daddy Mordy. Well . . . at least it looks like it.

Besides, being a hero isn’t about the glory . . . it’s about the loot!

still he does MY job while dont doing anything at the same time if that makes sence and takes MY credit for MY work and he got the sword I should own cause I AM the kittening guy who does ALL the work and saves the day ALL the time. He wouldnt even have made it through his own kittening prophecy if i wouldnt be there to protect his scrawny leaf kitten from getting kicked into the stoneage. So yea.. you could say i am jealous… and i cant even kittening use greatswords but thats besides the point here

Suggestion: New-Plated Outfits

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: Basaltface.2786

Basaltface.2786

well how about no darn outfits for a year now….to sorta…dunno bring some new skins into the game that people can mix and match…ya know the thingy that wardrobe lets you do? But wait there is more! If you got skins you can combine them to looks YOU like AND each piece got its very own 4 colour slots.

But joking aside i do belive there are enough outfits in game to do the “nice leveling look” thing by now. How many do we have now of these darn things? 17? Thats more then enough for a while. Bring in some skins now again for those who do like to make their own looks.

Few Questions from an old player

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Basaltface.2786

Basaltface.2786

well… for the silver wastes… i highly suggest to use the LFG tool to taxi into a populated map. You basically “farm” by defending the outposts what gives you bandit crests that are a new form of currency you can trade in for keys to open burried chests…that get unearthed with shovels that you get via rng by doing map objectives that include like mentioned before defending the outposts from mordrem protecting supply caravans from mordrem and gathering rubble to repair damage on the outposts between the attacking weaves. Eventually a breach happens that results in 4 different boss battles that will give you one guaranteed rare item if defeated…and more if all 4 bosses are defeated including a nightmare key.. later more on that. After the breach… regardless if all bosses went down or not a form of world boss happens…called the vinewrath. Its really similar to the marionette. Defending lanes while other teams try to defeat champions before the vinewrath. If this event is successfull you will get 4 guaranteed bandid chests and a world boss chest including another nightmare key. After the wrath several other activities open up. One beeing a pac man like maze with a very high chance to get good loot, especially from the big chest in the center that opens as many times as you got nightmare keys to open it. Said keys also can be made by combining 25 nightmare essences and a bandit key that gets usually used to open the unearthed chests. Besides the maze there also is a champion train going on that works like any other…and a chest farm where people bunch together with their shovels and keys and farm the map for said chests. To sum it up:

- By doing breaches and completing them you get guaranteed rare items
- Each unearthed chest gives you one guaranteed champion bag
- The maze got a high chance of giving champion bags on smaller chests
- aswell usually 4 or more champion bags on the big chest
- SW champions drop a bag like usual
- the vinewrath drops if defeated 4 champ bags and whatever is in the world boss chest
- also there is a chance to get rares and exotics by just doing events.. but its rare

Also the organs are meant for collections to get access to a set of prestige armor skins
with blue glow effect. You can also get “non glowing” pieces of that armors from the vinewrath and buy pieces that come in boxes with crests you earn.


As for dungeons… yes people still do them and they are still profitable

@Sagat: To have no personality in my build is just not my thing. It always feels like it isnt my char. Its the small things in a build ya know. I for example run on my main (engi) a build that would get laughed at cause its “not meta” or what the “big shots” would call optimal… but guess what.. i solo dungeons with it and do pretty much everything else with it aswell from open world to wvw roaming…i dont pvp cause i dont like the…lets call it manners in that mode. I needed to adjust it here and there cause of nerfs but other then that i run that build since 1 year. There are situations where i fine tune the build by switching out a potion and a different weapon with different sigils but yea… i made my build myself and it works for me. The rev most likely will force a build on me that i need to suck up and swallow when i want to play the class. My choices of builds are limited to the legends…and combinations of legends. Still most likely will come down to the 6\6(rest wherever) build…and where is the fun in that? That class comes shipped with its meta and only its meta if the skills are locked…cause what else you gonna do? Cant build a house thats only made of 1 piece.

Edit: Also… what always happens if people start to use the same tactic? A-net nerfs it… and at the rev thats about as flexible as a concrete slab with his skills (if they are truly static) got no way to find a different way to use the skills of the legend. “oh well they made that skill useless for my game mode… lets see what else i can do here….oh right.. nothing -sigh-” and you know its gonna happen… it always will happen.

IF they really do lock down the skills its “take it like it is or gtfo” and thats something i cant be comfortable with.

This…

I cant tell you the number of times I have won or lost fights based on swapping 1 skill. Also, will Rev even have access to racial skills, I realize most are terrible but I have used some to good effect and not having the option would be a shame….

PS, looking at Dulfys recording of the stream you can see the “Swap Skills” arrows pop up when they get ooc, could be unchanged UI or we might be able to have some more customization.

For me this easily could be fixed by having either a “blank” legend that allows you to choose from a smaller set of skills yourself to have atleast 1 of your skillsets under full controll or having a certain amount of skills for each legend to allow to swap out skills from each legend yourself…aswell putting them into the order you want to have em. Thats atleast my opinion so far…also thats not a “buhuuu rev soo stewpid lel” rant…cause that class is anything but stupid…just too restricting imo atm

I’m all for build customization. One of my main gripes for Guild Wars 2 is that builds are so much more restricted and more shallow than anything in Guild Wars 1.

My problem with your statement, however, is that I believe that for build customization to be compelling, the skills should be compelling. Heals, utilities, and elites in this game are NOT compelling. They really aren’t. Making builds is a chore for me in this game because everything is so lack luster, one-dimensional, and homogenized. I don’t feel like I’m creating a specific playstyle so much as putting different stickers on my character’s face – probably the stickers that match his preferred damage type.

Now, the Revenant legend skills ARE compelling, based on what we’ve seen. If this was the standard for what utilities and elites were in Guild Wars 2, I would absolutely love to be able to customize builds.

It is unfortunate that the Revenant is so restricted, but, again, its skills are actually well-designed, and if I have to choose between slottable utilities and well-made utilities, I’ll always pick the well-made ones.

well i clearly see where you are coming from…and yea.. these skills are really something to look at. I mean did you see the kittening dwarfen skill that makes a street apear before you? I mean holy kittening kitten is that cool…but man i really do hate beeing restricted. Along not beeing able to put the skills into the order i want them is something that makes me grit my teeth. In gw2 i got used to not beeing able to choose my weapon skills cause they are bound to the weapon itself. Thats perfectly fine to me. I pick the weapon, i get the skills to it. I so can easily swap em occ to get a completely different skillset for them. Fair enough…but at skills is where i draw the line. Skills should be…regardless of how “lame” they are be under my full controll.

Lets make a random and stupid example…

Lets say i got a minion necro here….i most likely gonna slot minions…obviosly. Thats the idea behind the build, now lets assume i dont want the blood fiend cause i prefer the consume conditions heal i wont be able to slot it…it would pretty much suck to be me. Maybe i also dont want to use the bone minions to slot the signet of the locust and only want to slot the shadow fiend, the bone fiend and the flesh golem and i want the bone fiend on 6 cause of its immobilise and the shadow fiend on 7 cause of the blind, the signet goes on 9 cause i most likely will only use it for its passive speed. If this would be a rev… i couldnt even think about making this sort of deal.

At the rev…IF they really do lock down the skills its “take it like it is or gtfo” and thats something i cant be comfortable with.

Something I do find quite troubling is the lack of customization, you have very little choice in how your rev plays, you get 5 weapon skills, and 10 legend skills, none of which you seem to be able to change….seems weird.

This is true, but the utilities of current professions are typically tacked-on. You just sort of fit them in there because you have the slots and because you need a stun breaker and some condition removal. Elites are even worse, as they are usually little more than generic super buttons that often don’t feel all that super. They aren’t really a big part of your character, and their long cooldowns tend to enforce that.

With the Revenant, sure they can’t customize themselves as highly, but their legend skills are designed to work together coherently and are meant to be used frequently and as the situation demands. That is going to lead to some great gameplay, and I’d consider it a worthy trade.

giving up controll over my chars build and utility skills is never a worthy trade (imo of course, wont speak for everybody). If i wanna play something like this i play a moba… cause there the classes\chars are preset.
“here pick two of these legends and dont worry… we already designed how you will play your char for you, dont worry, no need to figure out synergies for yourself” doesnt sound appealing to me in an mmo….as casual as they try to make gw2.

Beeing stuck with 1 weapon is alright to me… i main an engi and im used to treat my utilities\utility belt\weapon\kits equally to archive my goals by switching kits back and forth, using my potions and toolbelt together and so on. If i need a new strategy i swap out skills i dont need for the moment with skills i do need and i am the one who picks what goes into my utility slots\heal slot and elite slot. Im the one who decides that when i want to use the med kit i slot it and the rest of my bar remains the same…or heck i decide what potion goes into what slot just to have a small example. If i say elixir b goes into number 7 then it goes there and if i say it goes into 9 it goes there and if the rev got locked skills this certainly wont happen…cause why should it?

So far the rev looks like…huh… lets say the rev looks like having two moba chars that share the same live bar and weapon piggybacking and with a button you swap out who you move arround…feels wrong to have that lack of controll in a mmo char…to me atleast.
Well…lets see where this is going…cause so far im frowning at the lack of controll over the class.

For me this easily could be fixed by having either a “blank” legend that allows you to choose from a smaller set of skills yourself to have atleast 1 of your skillsets under full controll or having a certain amount of skills for each legend to allow to swap out skills from each legend yourself…aswell putting them into the order you want to have em.

….silly said but why not just add a “blank” legend (heck i dunno how to call it) that allows you to choose what you want…with a form of price to pay…via that energy thingy the class uses. Basically a “pick your own skills buffet” that just cost more energy if used in that blank legend skillset. That way people can build their own skillset like any other class and figure out their own needs while keeping a pre-set one on the other slot. That shouldnt be too stupid or unreasonable….right?

If its like i think it is… then im already uncomfortable with that class :\ There wont be much builds for it at all if its going where i think its going…shame…and it looked so good at first.

traherne the true hero of tyria:

skills:

1- This wont end well: insta kills the rev and still allows him to take credit for the battle
in loot and exp

2- Commander fix stuff cause i aint feeling it: Makes the rev immortal and removes
all his skills till the next occ. Any damage the group does is also credited to the rev

3- The hero we need: Kills the rev instantly but revives him right before the enemie is
so close to dying that a single auto attack will kill it. When this point is reached the
enemie will become immortal and can be only killed by an attack of the rev.

…well if they really do lock the utility bar down then this is most likely going to be the lamest class in gw2. No weapon swap? Alright.. i get it, we got it with ele and engi who got their strong sides in attuments and kits to make up for it and free choice of what to slot, how to slot it and when to use it…if its not on cooldown obviosly and thats a perfectly fine and cool system. Locked utility skills AND no weapon swap? Hell no… thats like in a moba game where your char got a locked skillset, whats not an insult to mobas.. they are MADE that way afterall and usually got a kittenload of chars to choose from like dota2 with its 109 playable chars… but gw2 is a darn MMO ugh…. so whats the next class they add gonna do? Only 1 weapon in general and locking down traits to static builds? I mean might aswell if they go that route. Seriosly a-net.. if the rev is gonna have locked down skills then this is gonna blow hardcore…dont mess this up… seriosly DONT mess it up.

If they go for fixed legend skill sets then I think this class is going to appeal to beginners and really good players and will probably be less compelling for those in the middle.

Beginners might feel the class is easier to learn and might be less afraid of selecting “the wrong build”. It’ll have the easy learning curve of the warrior, but more variety in playstyle.

On the other hand, intermediate players may prefer the greater customisations possible with other classes. Which is great, because you want new players to start with the shiny but then learn about the other great classes.

But I think this class will be most highly regarded by the more advanced players who love FPS-like positional mechanics and the energy balance/timing mechanics. I bet the difference between a skilled player and an intermediate player will be massive with the Revenant. Perhaps more so than any other class (maybe on par with engi?).

…engi can choose his kits and swap em whenever he feels like it, he also can carry up to 4 at the same time, no cooldowns and nothing at changing them or he can use no kits at all. Also engi got access to the toolbelt what gives kits basically a 6th skill that can be used regardless if the engi got the kit equipped or not. Even without kits engi can slot his utilities however he wants and still got basically a 2nd (static and depending on the slotted skills) skillset thx to the toolbelt. To call the rev on par with engi (if he really cant change his skills) is insulting and i really REALLY hope they dont lock the skills down.. cause then this class is gonna be the most boring thing ever in an mmo.

edit: Also rev cant change his weapon in combat…so yea if his class mechanic basically is made of 2 “static” skillset kits…then this is gonna suck

more like too little options.

right now, they haven’t decided if you’ll be able to pick utilities for legends or not, but they’re leaning on “nope”. that, together with the “no weapon swap” thing, would make revenant the most restrictive class in the whole game.

well given that the utilities had that little arrow thingy in the pics you get occ to swap your skills makes me certain they do will be able to get swapped out…just most likely you wont get as much utilities to choose from per “standalone” legend but you got 2 legends to “equip” means you basically most likely will have two entire skill sets that can be swapped in the middle of a fight….or im mental and seeing things that arent there

The fact that Revenants are most likely going to be stuck with just melee or range is kind of a bummer, honestly. At least Elementalists can conjure ranged or melee weapons…

It would be cool if Revenants had a spammable or AA melee skill and a spammable or AA ranged skill within the same weapon skill set…

engis have a single melee option, and it takes a utility slot. think about that for a moment :P

and from the looks of it rev´s hammer is gonna be aoe…so it can be easily used in melee aswell…like nades

Nicest community?

well…

Pve: Nice ppl with sometimes some jerks mixed in. Perfectly fine and most of the time reasonable…but if you meet a PVE jerk then this one is a mega jerk…and im not talking about groups that kick you out cause you arent what they are looking for.

WvW: Seems to depend on the server (in my experience) but usually perfectly fine.
It seems to also depend on if its a tournament or how full the maps are or something.

PVP: Never saw people that toxic and vile in any game before… not even in CoD what sums up why i personally refuse to take any part of that mode myself…though for some reason “event pvp” like snowball mayhem and stuff like this is filled with reasonable and fun people….is weird tell ya..

-zerker meta does more harm then good
-meta in general is poison and people who use it cant think for themselfes
-sylvari got horrible annoying over the past year and i dont care about their angsts
-costumes are a horrible waste of ressources that could be used for armor skins
and armors with class “personality” rather then luck warm “this could be made for
(insert class here)” Put some gears, knives, ankhs, skulls and stuff on armors god darn it
-legendary gs are beyond ugly and look like surfboards with magic and hilt
-thraherne is worlds better then the LS “team”… and he still sucks balls
-scarlet is cooler then the whole LSs2… she was atleast goofy insane and fun

I want an impressive pistol. Like a .50 cal. Something Dirty Harry would be proud of. Or something that would fit in with Judge Dredd.

so…you want a sniper rifle that is designed to destroy a heavy armored tank made in the late 90’s?
you do realize that’s not only ridicules, it doesn’t even fit the game at all….

Already a sniper rifle in game, so I don’t know what you are babbling about. And what is so ridiculous about the S&W 500?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_%26_Wesson_Model_500

I just want a pistol that is a bit bulkier.

well the ascended pistols are pretty much revolvers and the aetherblade one is basically a revolver with some steampunk stuff glued to it. Dunno if that would make a good legendary.. but exotic…certainly (imo of course)

Well If I buy expansion I will probably get every legendary in game, because there wont be RNG involved… But after that crafting I wont get any because of rng…

well another reason to fork over some bucks to get it then hm?

Anyways… i sat down yesterday and was playing a bit arround with z brush while watching tv…something like this would be kittening amazing (imo)

so this with extra gears and a bayonet?

yea and watchwork themed zappy particle effect and textures
