To it’s animation. Probably cause staff sucks and I never use it but it’s been a year and only now do I realise how obstrusive it is.

After using it, it clouds your field of vision and makes your already hard to land staff aoes even harder to land and pretty much gives the enemy zerg/the mobs a free stealth.

8/23 HoD/DH/SF

Posted by: Da Sonic.6521

Da Sonic.6521

Well, spent something around 6 hours in SF Borderlands today, because the maps closed to new people for some reason. Was fun playing with the same 5 GT against the same 20 or so enemies on the map, between DH/SF. Defended Garrison from several assaults, in the end, I think we had 4 separate walls we repaired to about 5%, and both north gates were repaired up to 30%. Eventually, the map opened back up, and with just two GT still on the map, we made a mistake and a few dozen SF managed to snag it. Good fights, hope to see you guys around soon.

Legendary Defenders of Ascalon

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Da Sonic.6521

Da Sonic.6521

After a long and arduous journey, my pal, Gate Monkey, and I have finally become Legendary Defenders of Ascalon. We have dedicated our lives to defending the Black Citadel, Ascalon, from the Ghosts that still inhabit the area. Him a Thief and me an Elementalist, we fended off wave after wave of the furious dead, never once thinking to report to Legionnaire Tosia Domesplitter, as there were fights to win.

Legendary Defender of Ascalon has a new meaning now. The title has been reclaimed from the foolish humans who defended our homeland FROM us so very long ago. The title is ours.

Well, as for the why: It’s a game mechanic where the mobs can go around and resurrect or assemble the fallen allies they have. By finishing them, you prevent that from happening. You’re not just finishing them for fun, it does have a purpose.

Restoration of "univarsal multi-tool pack"

in Account & Technical Support

Posted by: Da Sonic.6521

Da Sonic.6521

1) Create new character, select Universal Multi Tool Pack.
2) Purchase cheapest available ____________ Backpack Set. (Not cover, but set)
3) Use regular Transmutation Stone to transmute soulbound Multi Tool pack look onto account bound Backstraps given by opening the backpack set.
4) Move account bound Multi Tool Pack onto desired character.

This process should only cost about 2 gold, and you can recoup most of it by selling the Backpack Cover you got from the set. Or keep the cover. I don’t care. It’s your cover. Stop looking at me like that.

Current Condi-Meta, and Stat Inconsistencies

in Suggestions

Posted by: Da Sonic.6521

Da Sonic.6521

I think Vitality reducing condition damage is a reasonable approach, as long as it’s not to a ridiculous degree, it already lengthens the amount of time you can survive against the builds.

Also, for reference, the 40% +- condition foods don’t cancel each other out, if both are in effect, conditions last 84% as long as base duration. The – Condition Damage is multiplicative, not subtractive.

This is just my opinion, but the way you worded this makes it sound like the minipets are doing damage, which is an exploitable bug. If that’s the case, why tell the world, instead of removing it as quietly as it appeared?

Necromancer Marks don't affect FE

Posted by: Da Sonic.6521

Da Sonic.6521

None of the static enemys (those with cross-hair target) or any non moving target trigger necro marks.

I guess this is intentionally, but you have to ask the devs why

Marks trigger on non-moving targets, go use them on the test golems in the mists.

They do not, however, trigger on any inanimate objects, which most large world bosses are classified as.

Thanks to the ET Thief who dropped me the Hunter. Mapped before I could catch the tag.

Precursors do really exist outside the trading post? I thought it was a myth…

Also if it was on Kaineng Border a while ago its more likely that it was me than the thieves that were with me (since they were all upleveled). We crossed GT near the Northwestern Tower, at Redlake and at the Southern Supply Camp.

Well I was heading to the south camp alone, fought an 80 thief crossing the bridge, as I downed him, a second 80 thief appeared. Downed him as an uplevel ele appeared. Downed him, then cycled through them all to make sure they all died. A guardian friend arrived and we started to take the camp. Killed all the NPCs right as the two thieves got back, and killed them 2v2. Picked up the rifle, and the ele popped up again.

Mesmer portal: Citadel to Garrison

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Da Sonic.6521

Da Sonic.6521

There is a hallway in garrison on the north end, you can portal from Citadel to Garrison from there. I’m relatively sure this is a legitimate tactic because it fulfills all Portal requirements. Mesmer got to point A, Mesmer drops portal, Mesmer gets to point B, Mesmer drops exit in range. The two locations in this example may be blocked by a large wall, but they are most definitely close enough for the portal to reach.

Good fights in ET Borderlands, GT had fun roaming around and actually taking Hills once we had a small force (10 or so). We were honored by the swords we seemed to draw in even the most inconsequential fights. Good thing we had outmanned the entire night, or my poor decrepit Necromancer legs would have cost me a few silver.

Here to voice my disappointment in the limiting of Keg Brawl and other activities. I can’t believe they would make an activity, that was from release consistently available, limited like this. It seems like a massive step backwards in design. What terrible idea will crop up next? Only having one dungeon open per day? Only having one WvW map open per day? Only having one sPvP map open per day? Only having one open world map open per day? Only having one Server open per day?

None of those make any sense at all, who in their right mind would think this change is improving the game?

You must be new here.

The Support Tokens were not replacing drops, they were additional drops. The Wooden Chest is not a drop that selects what is inside of it, it is an indicator that an item with a rare quality has dropped. You’re still getting every single last Rare weapon and armor piece you would have gotten.

It’s also additional in Black Lion Chests, not replacing.

Question about sword\x sword\x

in Mesmer

Posted by: Da Sonic.6521

Da Sonic.6521

In organized dungeon runs, often times the mainhand Sword gives the highest dps. If you switch your main weapon, you lose out on a lot of damage. Greatsword moves you out of range to get max dps with the auto attack, staff does no damage with anything but the warlock, scepter does no damage. By using a different offhand (Typically not torch, but sword/focus/pistol work well) you can maintain the superior damage of mainhand sword and get more Phantasms out, replacing ones that die more quickly, and getting your cap of 3 out faster.

Long story short is that if you don’t need another weapon for utility purposes, Sword/x + Sword/x is really not a terrible choice.

8 mil votes of disappointment

Posted by: Da Sonic.6521

Da Sonic.6521

The issue I have is that they said they brainstormed for hours coming up with ideas for new fractals, then picked the two best ideas to put up for this vote. Now that they’ve said they definitely aren’t making the other one, that means we just lost one of the two best ideas they themselves said they could come up with.

Which.. was going to happen one way or the other, no matter which way the voting went. We were always going to lose one of the two best ideas they came up with. Just something people should keep in mind.

Hence my issue. I would have had an issue whichever of the best two ideas they had was killed.

Infused Ascended Rings Chatbox Descrip Issue

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Da Sonic.6521

Da Sonic.6521

Honestly, at the point where you need more than 10 Agony Resistance from rings, 75 fractal relics are negligible. Evvery 6 higher, you get more fractal relics per run. At level 24, I think it is, you get 100 fractal relics per even run (daily gives some). You won’t lose any resistance by upgrading (5 to 5) and then by the next run, you should have enough relics to get another upgrade.

Also to note, pinging an Ascended ring will never show the upgrade you slot into it, so you’ll have no way of guaranteeing they have it, but as I mentioned, it’s so easy to get them, it’s almost an immeasurable chance.

Da Sonic.6521

The only things you posted that were actually bugs were the Rush and utility swap cooldown ones, the other things are either intentional (blind making offensive skills miss, a skill that gives stability when you cast it going on full cooldown when you cancel mid-cast, the range on melee attacks) or just inconveniences (the new adrenaline bar gives you a different skill with the same name and more potent effects, so it has to reset it).

Hope the Rush bug gets fixed though.

Wallet Discussion: Depositing gold!

in Suggestions

Posted by: Da Sonic.6521

Da Sonic.6521

I’ve seen another suggestion beyond using a personal Guild for gold storage….using the TP to hold your money with ridiculous buy orders that will never get filled. Obviously, this storage will cost you money in the buy order fee, but so will setting up a new Guild with a bank for your personal storage (but the Guild option will also come with some additional item storage that you can increase if you want).

Actually, putting up a buy order costs you absolutely nothing. There are only fees for listing an item, not for offering to buy one. You can put up 25 offers to buy Eternity for 1 gold each to store 25 gold and when you want the money back, you simply remove the offer. You’ll be given back all 25 gold, and you can check this yourself with smaller sums of money. Hey, worst case, someone actually sells you an eternity for 1 gold.
