well put. The number of down sides to this “wildly overpowered” skill is way more then a counter balance.
I’m more of a D/D player myself but I do agree S/D can really put out some good burst damage with combo’s. the biggest turn off I have with scepter is its water skills.
Try lowing your settings. usual helps with some lag. If thats not working its likely a server wide issue so your opponet is no better off. Or its time to upgrade your computer.
There is many ways to help reduce lag but changing a skill isn’t really 1 of them.
I’m under the impression that 2-handed weapons actually hit harder then 1 handed weapons and thats suppose to be the trade off. Hit harder or have an extra effect option.
All we’re getting is scarlet, Scarlet and more SCARLET. Sure you add a new race to the mix but come on give us more villians. If Saturday morning cartoons have taught me anything its there always MULTIPLE villains plotting the end of the world not the same crazy women with a new plan every 2 weeks.
Cuz it’s too huurd for them to make a full set. Not sure why when it doesn’t end up fitting my race properly regardless.
I’m still waiting for Radiant Chest, Legs and Boots. :<
may that day never come. I’m already blinded by someone wearing all of the current gear please don’t go turning yourself in a walking bundle of light. or at least tone the brightness down.
what kind of weapon set you planning on using as your main? from my experience don’t be afraid to be something other then a pure zerker (unless you love that)
Learn how to use ALL your skills and learn what skills complement each other for good combo effects and situations.
We may be squishy but we are pro at slipping between our enemies fingers when we want too.
I have to agree a story event in Guildwars 2 means NOTHING. everything does back to its perfect self after the events of the last 2 weeks like it never happened only to be lost in our memories. There is no story advancement at all. Its pretty much “oh good job you stopped a mild threat. Here some useless achievement points.”
“Now we can contuine to stand here while the major plot of this game continues to be EXACTLY where it was the day this game got released.
I always hate bring other MMO’s into this but at least when WoW did major patches it left its mark on our hearts and on the world (some more then others) But all guildwars offers us is something to hold our attention for a few extra hours and give us a cheap prize at the end.
If I had to compare Guildwars to anything it would be a game of side quests.
Wouldn’t say its dieing but in a way it is. The real death will come when the new MMO’s come out (wildstar online for me) and everyone shifts over there to check them out. Then you will see Guildwars 2 die or at least get visably crippled.
Anet is really having trouble trying to keep its player base happy, tho to be far I’v yet to see an MMO manage to do that. The biggest problem is the ammount of issues that players have had since day 1 that have yet to be even addressed thats pushing alot of people away.
Guildwars 2 is amazing game in itself but if alot of people have the same issues I do it be that guildwars 2 doesn’t have anything to keep us attached to the game and our eyes wonder to the next new shiny thing that comes out. Even if I left to play another MMO I’d still play guildwars 2 but it be very casual.
its got its up and downs. its nice to see wvw get its own achievements. tho for someone like me who sucks at pvp I’m forced to follow mindless zergs who seem to rarely do anything I actually need and the min I go out on my own blam I’m steam rolled by an enemy zerg group.
Would of been nice to see some achievements added that wasn’t basically the norm of the game tho.
Don’t Zerg……………. (all these dots to make the body length 15)
the day a single player can invade keeps and take on zergs alone, I’ll be there. till then I gotta play the way everyone expects us too.
anyone else getting a head ache from the fact a point can be captured in the blink of an eye by zerg groups. I miss out of capturing credit least half the time because I’m slowed down for 1 reason or another and end up at the tail of the zerg. only to watch the lord drop like a rock (I mean really it only takes 2 seconds to kill them all) and then a second later poof its ours and i’m left high and dry.
I have a quick question. I remember anet saying we will get a set gold reward depending on the length of the dungeon but it feels like no matter what dungeon I do its always 1 gold… Seems odd how I can do CoF in 10 mins and another place takes 30-40 mins but the gold reward is exactly the same. Is this reward based on how many bosses are on the path and not how long it actually takes to complete because some dungeons have alot of mobs that really slow it down some times.
wow only 20% without a legendary… more like only 20% HAVE a legendary sure I see 1 here and there but if you take notice its almost always the SAME group of players you see day after day.
Most players don’t even want legendaries. with the expection of a few certain ones. There are tons of even more amazing skins for 1/6 the trouble only think legendaries got for them in a few extra points in their stats. hardly work the pain.

If I could make a request I’v love to see arcane fury buffed up just a little. Considering how easy it is for alot of other classes to keep up high fury without even having to try while we get 2 seconds after switching to maybe get a crit in and be forced to waste attunement cooldowns to try for fury seems a bit much.
In this case its using the meaning Distinct smell as a bad kinda Distinctly offensive scent. English language is terrible for making words have different meansing depending how its used
I actually found it was the opposite for me, I played elementalist for a while in the early days got tired of being as squishy as a wet paper bag so I tried around and found warrior. Love it for a good 6 months as I learned the ins and out of this game and found myself getting bored… so 1 day I when back to my first toon and suddenly I saw elementalist in a whole new light after experience the world. sure were squishy but thats fixable. very fixable.
I suddenly found I have selection in the way I could fight from 1 battle to the next. having skills that provide multiple levels of healing in short times became a blessing to me. Hell I never leave water if it didn’t do weak dps. Now when I play other toons it feels so…fixed and stiff.
ya it does seem off that centaurs and bandits don’t seem to care that their territory is being invaded. I see 1 of 2 fighting them but thats pretty rare and most likely because of a player
well it is a sample so mushy ones are simple ones that got damaged when attempting to get them. Seems pretty normal to me. If anything I’m happy that they at least made them in clusters rather then individual ones spread out everywhere. plus the sucess rate is rather high for a rare find.
only really progress that matters to me is Precuror. I’m collection material as I play the game but till I see a precursor fall into my lap (not even gonna try to make 1) my progress will sit at zero.
I’d love it if humans could move while stealthed. The idea that by the halfway mark (when both sides are equal in number) that humans gain a way to avoid being corned by hordes of ghosts would give humans a fighting chance. Its got a high cool down so its not possible to abuse it.
I also agree ghosts need to be sent back to middle on death. It worked wonders last year for allowing humans to have a slim chance because if we were found we’d kill the ghost and hide again. Instead of being found, followed and having every ghost port in front of us boxing us in.
I learned the first day I tried that fractal that warriors whirlwind is NOT a good idea. enough said.
Can’t think of any amazing pug runs that stand out in memory but I have had a number of pugs who just laugh off any wipes or deaths and move on. Those count?
all I can tell you is this. Your in the mad realm. The world where nothing makes sense and the everything is crazy. don’t be surprised if big foot took a stroll past you with elvis.
is there anything good that drops in lunatic inquisition?
besides candy, blue, and greens
nope, same as any other mini game prize.
You must not have played World of Warcraft
there a big difference. That clutter is created by the players. Our complain is the clutter created by the games own graphics.
They are not ‘icky’. They are bright. They are shining with nightmarish power. They are like shadows with a core of bright yellow power.
It’s like the lines nightmares (aatxes, shades and chaos beasts, Shadow Behemoth) have in their bodies, but brighter. More intense. More solid.
It looks to me they are either turning themselves into nightmares, or summoning nightmares that look like them, or imbuing themselves with shadow power, or bringing back some sort of lost ancestors who were in the shadow/nightmare realm and were affected by it or something like that, to fullfill their profecies about some ancient power of theirs destroying or enslaving all the other races and whatnot.
and if you think about it didn’t Scarlets clockwork creation also have the same kinda green glow.
never noticed a change. I wouldn’t be surprised if its a very limited change for only a handful of skills. When I used it I was expecting the Blinding zerg orgy of attacks to be reduced greatly. sadly it has not.
No. things like conditions and what could be fixed but the class itself doesn’t really need changes
You realize warrior will never be nerfed the way you all want it, Anet has openly said warrior class is exactly where they want it to be. Meaning its the only class in the game they think IS balanced and the rest of the classes are orbiting around warriors till they figure out how to get us right.
Legendaries can now switch stats…
Why not enable a mechanism that also allows them to switch skins? Allow all legendaries to be able to look like any exotic weapon. Perhaps even a set selection of exotic weapons only.I think ANet is under the impression that the Legendary skins are better than all other skins, and making the skin optional would be a step backward.
sad but true, anyone here can list of at least half a dozen different skins that out do all the legendaries hands down.
Thats exactly what I believe it is too, has OP pointed out
More then a weapon= it serves another purpose
A toxic seed has been sown= its creating some kinda lifeform
Guarded by magic= its vulnerable and need to be protected at all cost
fed with evil, it grows= it’s evil.My theroy= scarlet’s science experiment also showed her where the cave is with the other pale tree seeds. Or she found that other tree’s location. and now the nightmare court is working with or for scarlet to do what they always wanted. Create their own tree and very likely a new blood thirsty sylvari race.
I like the idea, but personally I hope the it’s more about the Krait then Scarlett or the Nightmare court. As long they are a permanent threat though, and they do genuinely evil things, then I can live with whatever.
agree I’d be disappointed if all that destructions and the tower itself all suddenly disappeared and the land was back to its old self. I’d pretty much be WTF
I suspect they are working with the Nightmare Court and that explains the thorns and thistles.
My Scarlet senses are tingling and it looks like they’ve done another “combine two different things to make them ‘better’” with the krait and sylvari magic.
It could also be Scarlet making her own Pale Tree

personal I rather have a whip, Daggers thunder whip already proven how kick-kitten that is so why not get 1 for all the elements
that crystallization idea of yours is rather interesting. I’d love the idea of making a stackable time bomb. 1 thing I would add tho is making it a aoe blast so enemies around the mob go up like the mob he was a bomb.
It’s also a good group friendly stacking condition rather then getting screwed over when 2-3 people with condition builds in your group over stacking/duration causing you to lose out on some DPS this 1 one would promote team work to build up the stack faster there by increasing the rather it goes off and ultimately increasing group dps.

wasn’t my favorite but I miss the variety of mini games we had last year
sure there are just as many people who like to do it so they can get it for their new Mains/Alts
We had such big dreams.

According to the wiki there is possibly 2 secret walls? anyone able to confirm this?
I’m a little unsure about what i want for that fight, since i see the biggest problem for me is that the area is so dark that you can hardly see anything.
an idea to fix that would be to have the crystals on the minions and enviroment glow.
Its still to early tell if this patch is a good or not. However my inital view after reading patch notes is less then ideal. I was under the impression staff was getting a major buff? quick run thought has pretty much told 1 thing. all thats really changed besides earth getting a ward is more skills have been added to blasting staff trait and even some reduced in radius.
Conjures I can’t comment on because I never use them.
ANet has officially gone crazy. Time to jump ship.
already ahead of you, just waiting for this sinking ship to pass Wildstar Island.
Edit: I just realized anets plan. this isn’t a collect material intended item. We expected to BUY the materials
(edited by Chaotic Storm.2815)
Once I got to Scarlet with ~15 seconds left on timer. Event failed but Scarlet stayed and we were able to kill her.
I got scarlet box which had yellows inside and some other yellows from chest. Nothing too exciting.
bet you anything if anet annouced she had a high chance of dropping exotics she be downed every time.
I like your idea very much!
sure there still gotta be alot of people cringing at the thought of a water battle XD
Personally hope it comes back for 5 to 7 bl tickets. Didn’t get it in the past since my main is an ele and can’t use it, but with how bad Anet’s warrior favoritism is my war is coming closer and closer to being my main every day… and it would be a shame if I ended up maining a war without this skin.
I hear ya, I’m just waiting for the day they release a holy white flaming sword
I don’t think they can ban you for buying them.. what I am worried about is that they could just disappear from inventory.
not likely to happen. unless they are providing an exact return of what gold you’ve spend buying them. There be a kitten storm if anet suddenly started stripping people of plans because it “may” be a copy.
Man, I understand the grouping up and kicking you out after 30-50 mins of time in a dungeon, just because some little kid got his ego hurt. I think Vote Kicks should require atleast 3/5, not a pair of friends kicking the party.
Something should be done to prevent unmoral “kicking”
Agreed. Who came up with a vote option that only requires a 2nd? pretty sure the point of a vote is to see what the majority want not the few…
I’m guilty of this crime quite often XD. Course i’m just as guilty when it comes to warriors and assuming there nothing more then a zerker.
The only thing I really assume when I run a dungeon is that people know what they’re doing when it comes to gear and build. I pretty much never ask what kind of build they run. Of course, that has its downsides too.
have to agree there, I could care less what builds they are. I’v learned tho to never assume everyone knows the fight. At least your way of doing it.
we took the metaphorical “arrow to the knee”
I wouldn’t say greatsword for a elementalist. A sword seems more fitting but putting that aside I’d say melee. Seperate us from mesmers a bit.
