Guild Wars 2

The sigil of frailty (on-crit) is better

1 – i don’t think weak spot has an icd.
2 – yes. and fyi, shard of ice(water ii) with arcane power will let u apply up to 6 stacks of vulnerability at once if u use dagger auto-attack in water attunement
3 – i think Ice Shards auto-attack does count as 3 individual attacks
4 – i might have to say that the 25minor air trait(weak spot) is better b/c of higher proc chance.

yeah, light armor probably the best overall

The zodiac armor is pretty cool, i gotta admit, however, there’s yet the issue with charr. mainly the medium armor and how the helmet completely hides the horns and also, why does the face piece completely change the way your face looks?

it was really hard for me to get him to say “By Ogdens Hammer, What Savings!” it usually took a while before he finally said it, and then when he did, i was all like

What if Zommoros shows up wanting revenge after Scarlet destroyed the mystic forge in LA? How bout it? An angry Djinn on the loose? eh, eh, EH?

The almighty Djinn Buu!

You might have accidentally transferred the ascended stats to the exotic stats

Apparently Zommoros is not a Djinn, he’s a genie, which is something else in Guild Wars lore.

Pretty sure he’s a djinn

I agree with Ash that each auto attack chain counts as a use is rather wasteful. The entire chain should count as one use.
fire axe and lightning hammer both have better amounts of mobility than they did before since Anet buffed the conjures and revamped a few skills.

What if conjures were made into a weapon swap for Ele? (except for FGS)

But, they’d only be attunement specific ofc so that would mean you couldn’t use Frost Bow while attuned to earth.
however only you’d be able to use them (except for FGS, that would still summon another one for players to use); You wouldn’t gain some of the few bonuses from traits in attunements like you could before.

It would take away the “bulky” feel of conjures.

Well, looks like i won’t be able to use my mats or glory boosters before then. oh well

I haven’t seen any1 post a pic of their charr in the zephyr armor! what gives!?

Idk if the revert to Signet of Restoration will even be enough in Pvp especially.
SoR used to be like Healing Signet now except like way better. It used to proc Evasive Arcana multiple times when u swapped attunements and dodge rolled, and it also proc’d 5 times from Hurl off of Rock Barrier.

Ow, just imagine Scarlet singing this tomorrow:

Oh dear god…

There are a lot of skills that are become locked when underwater for Ele, especially Ether Renewal, which doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense. A lot of the skills are ground-targeted but that’s understandable, but there should be another skill in place of those locked skills: 3 glyphs (glyph of storms, glyph of lesser elementals, glyph of elementals), 5 conjures, lightning flash and ether renewal.
The only thing that kinda bothers me is that ether renewal is locked and your elementals can’t go underwater (mainly the elite glyph)

they grant bonus glory too, so…i wonder if it’ll just get removed from the booster, or something?

One of the problems in GW2 is the ability to easily spam a bunch of heavy conditions on your target really fast…and you know what happens next :P

I think, either Weakness should reduce the amount of damage your outgoing conditions do by X%, even though there are a lot of condi-cleanses, some of the more potent conditions don’t get cleared based on the number of conditions the skill you use can clear, as well as the priority of the cleanse.
Tons of builds are able to almost effortlessly lay down all their conditions on you and watch you struggle as you try to heal through it but end up getting another round of conditions blasted in your face shortly after.

Weakness shouldn’t affect JUST direct damage, it should also decrease the amount of condition damage your skills do while affected by Weakness.

It’s probably leaning more towards Primordus, at least there’s a lot hinting it. Maybe Kralkatorrik.
I just don’t see the living story connecting so much with anything having to do with Cantha. Either way, I just can’t wait for the next season

this has been requested for quite awhile

imo, vapor blade should be an insta-cast.
Lightning whip just needs a slightly different animation.
impale does need a rework
and I’m not sure about Dragons Claw

DrDivine.5378:

I’m looking for a heavy helmet for my warrior I could use for my warrior that looks nice, I’ve been using the tier 2 cultural helmet but it seems to be a little common.

Here’s charr lol

Here’s what all that looks okay-good on charr (imo): T3 ofc, T2 helm as well, Draconic Helm, CoF helm, maybe CoE, Vigil Helm, maybe Barbaric, Primeval, and maybe even Splint

Healing Surge still viable anywhere.
bigger group events, especially for the 3 Wurm event, antitoxin heals for a decent amount also AoE. though it obviously works a bit better if you have at least 2 of the conditions. Generally, it’s not entirely viable, but better in groups and in specific situations…

Heimdallr.7021:

Rune of the dolyak regen is ridicolous and doesn’t scale with healing power.
We will see after the revision on runes and sigils, i have a spare set just in case

lol. speaking of the dolyak runes, a little while ago I used to run with healing signet, dolyak runes, mango pie, and a few rejuvenation boosters that I luckily picked up from BL chests. I had some tasty regen that i also used with regen banners XD

lerak.5286:

Closest I could get (heavy armor)
- AC helmet
- Heavy plated pauldrons (though too bulky imo)
- HoW chest
- Heritage gauntlets
- CM leggings
- CM boots (CM come closest, as there are no cloth options for heavies)

very nice! for the shoulders, try either some of the crafted Barbaric or the gladiator pieces and see how that works. also, try the Durmand Priory helm, Splint Helm, maybe the Vigil helm. I like the dye too, but if ucan, try something a little less vibrant.
overall its pretty good tho

Skyrim

See if you can resemble the gw1 guard armor as close as you can, if not, better looking then

I have a dumb question about the fiery great sword elite, specifically Fiery Rush. Even though i’ve used it countless times, i’ve always wanted to know if it deals condition damage and its just a hidden tooltip? or is its damage just direct damage?

Such stupidity. much wow

dear god…what did i just watch?

u could do something cheesy like use Arcane Power and pop into Bear form then use Charge…if u get bored

try glyph of storms+frost bow specifically the Sandstorm combined with Ice storm. you’ll build up decent Condi damage, as well as some blind.

how about a little buff to Celestial amulet if other amulet stat combos are going to be implemented? if celestial is there, then it should get at least some use in pvp then. maybe just increasing the stats to 295 from 284, or to 300 at the very most…??

a couple pics of my charr…

just wait until tomorrow

It’s like nobody here watches the Dev’s Ready Up livestreams. This year, Anet is coming out with new Pvp maps and modes…

Has it ever occurred to you that they could be sleep-gaming?

well…you could use runes of the guardian with shield and build up a decent amount of burn…though there are better options ofc, but that’s just something for a possible shield build IF you really wanted to…

Cuz i was looking at runes of the adventurer+signet of restoration. that’s like 3/4 of your endurance regained when u heal IF you run with Written in Stone…otherwise you can do adventurer runes+Zephyrs Focus+Ether Renewal and energy sigils…

Skritt would be a nightmare, so would quaggan for armor clipping and tons of weird animations. I’d see Hylek being a better choice than quaggan imo, but just barely better.

Tengu is most likely, and maybe Koda, but definitely not largos. they look like weird undead butterfly sylvari things…

Maybe if Elemental Shielding OR Powerful Auras made it so that Fire Aura blocked attacks and gave u might+burned attackers, Frost Aura immobilized attackers for a short duration+chill, Magnetic Aura would grant retaliation + reflecting projectiles and shock aura would…do something…
I really wish Fire Aura was better… I really do. because the might is really good. Maybe if the burning was buffed so that it had 2 stacks of burning on attackers…

arcane energy is just too underwhelming for a master trait, but what if it was merged with Arcane Mastery?

i never really bothered with guardian runes much. i’ve used them like a couple times, but never noticed much burn. does it have an icd? Runes like that are a bit wonky, ya know? Like rune of the Baelfire, rune of balthazar, rune of the fire, rune of the earth maybe rune of svanir, rune of the afflicted, rune of the air…i’ve experimented with pretty much all those kind of runes and some of them are decent with the right build, but it’s kinda…meh… ya know?

It doesn’t have an ICD, and the burn is applied each time the message “blocked” pops up on your screen. If you time it right you can get a TON of AoE burn

but I’m pretty sure there’s a cap on burn duration. i tried maximizing burn duration with scepter and it caps at like 50 secs or so,but that’s still a really long time and the tics will still do decent damage depending on condition damage.

hmm…usually charr don’t fit the role of thieves because they are just a bit too big, even if u make them the smallest. But there’s nothing wrong with making a charr thief of course

mkay. how bout for Pvp then

How viable is a distracting strikes build in Pve?

I think we’re gonna have a Charr-off here

maybe troll…maybe not. but wiki is always right

Julius Seizure.4985:

It works well. I assume you are using 20/0/30/20/0 given what you wrote in that post? I prefer 20/0/30/0/20 because you can get permanent protection with Arcane VIII while attuning to earth, and the additional boon duration from arcane is key.

I also prefer Scepter/Dagger with this setup for might stacking and run Rune of Earth. You basically have full time protection and 25 stacks of might.

haha i love your name! XD
your build looks pretty dandy too with all that protection, but I have yet to really test mine out
