Guild Wars 2

“Ignore Pain” trait is bugged to only last 2 seconds instead of the 5.

I would invest in “Rune of the Earth” this almost makes it impossible for a thief to one shot you, because as soon as he attacks you with his chain of attacks, you get 33% Damage Reduction for a good 5 seconds, assuming you have any points in vitality.

This makes the barrage and burst of thief almost completely useless, a -33% base damage decrease wipes the floor with most thieves damage wise, and if they cannot kill you in that 5 seconds like there spec demands then they are cat food.

That 9500 damage backstab is now a 6500 damage one, assuming your moving, and if he hits you on your front its only 3250 damage.

If thief is so awesome and overpowered, why not play one?

Consider what happens when you nerf thief too much, they have no utility like elementalist and other classes have, no group buffs, they are absolutely worthless in dungeons, they are a roaming mobile scout class.

The second they nerf more things from thief, the balance may be worse and karma usually comes back to rear its ugly head.

Consider what an elementalist can do..
Permament Regeneration for the group…
Permament Swiftness for the group…
High Damage.
Very Mobile/Lots of Escape moves. (can even outrun a thief!)
Permament Mist Rain, which also heals the party.
Heal his own conditions.
AOE Protection.

Consider now what a warrior can do.
Permament Regeneration for the group…
Permament Swiftness for the group…. (Warhorn.)
Fury for the group 50% of the time…. “FOR GREAT JUSTICE!”
Shout Healing/Shout Cure Conditions…
Warhorn Cure Conditions…

Consider what a Guardian can do.
AOE Protections.
Cure 2 conditions every 10 seconds.
AOE group regeneration…

Thief? What can he do?
Run Away.
Damage.

So?

Its not like armor matters much, without any toughness/vitality ANY class will melt.

I only wanted it to be restricted to two types of armor per class.

A thief in plate armor makes no sense at all, but one in cloth armor does make sense.
A guardian in cloth armor makes sense as well. (see monk.)
A necromancer in plate armor makes sense. (they are tougher to kill then most classes.)
A Warrior in cloth armor makes sense. (see berserker.)
A Ranger in cloth armor makes sense. (see tracker.)

This would not limit the gameplay at all, this is just for appearance, your weapons and such do not change, neither do

This is just for appearance, you can tell which class is what by the sounds the class makes and what the classes do, you can tell this as soon as you enter combat and what kind of weapons they have, what there aura looks like and what animations they do.

I look at the persons WEAPON way before I look at what he looks like, if I see a hammer swinging down at me, nomatter who has it, I usually HAVE to dodge.

Robes would fit a Guardian, especially priestly looking ones, just for appearance of course, you could use a robe then plate armored legs and shoulders and gloves… make yourself look like a combat priest.

Another Example would be cloth for thief, just for appearance of course, wearing something fast and light for D/D (alot of the cloth armor looks really really nice and even ninja like for some of the molds…) would fit the thief like a glove.

This changes nothing except appearance… and really theres no reason you could not tell which class is which, especially if you want to argue about thieves which is probably what most people use in this.

This is why I restricted each class to one appearance set of armor, plate armor for thief just makes no sense at all, but on an engineer/necromancer? they are slow and bulky and TOUGH, so them having the plate option, just for appearance makes sense.

The Dye thing? Many Medium armor does this anyways nomatter what you wear, the workaround is using different colors for armor…

For Example, using Iron Dye on main pieces, and then using “Dark Midnight Blue” On armorish looking pieces makes them both match if its the heavy grey style of armor.

You can use the same voice actor for every race, just have him say different things differently, even I can do voice impressions.

One of the biggest changes this makes is, instead of bullets, you shoot darts at your target, the sound and animations reflect this.

“1” Applys a Small Bleed. (1 second.)
“1”(2chain) Applys 2 Bleeds. (2 seconds.)
“1”(3chain) [Channal] Fire at the target three times, applying 3 bleeds. (3 seconds.)
“1”(stealth) No Change.
_
“2” Vital Shot needs to be changed to apply a strong poison, but do a little less damage. (6 seconds.)
_

“3” Unload Afflictions, this applys 4 Stacks of Bleeds (6 seconds on each), and Poison (6 seconds of poison, strong.) (Each fire looks like its shooting, while the left pistol is shooting darts of poison.) does little damage.
_

“4” Choking Gas: You throw a smoke bomb at your target, blinding and crippling and poisoning them for 4 seconds. (this is a ground target ability.)
_
“5” Stim Flurry: You fire darts filled with stimulant at your allies, granting regeneration and healing. (10 seconds.) (this is a ground target ability.)
(You basicly unload a barrage of healing darts at whatever your targeting.)
(This ability also makes thief unable to stealth for 10 seconds, and breaks stealth.)

Basicly it turns you into like a combat medic from swg, it turns pistol thief into kind of docter, after all a good thief knows where all the vital spots are.

It makes for a fun build, because it would add an option for thief that it doesn’t have… “support”.

I love the cloth armor, looks so light… some of it is very thiefish.

But i’d imagine cloth armor for necromancers having plate it for the amount of survivability they have.

I wish my thief could wear cloth armor… the coats are getting on my nerves…

That would be alot of work, but you could get the same effect by having leather chest/plate shoulders/plate gauntlets/plate boots and leather pants. (just an example.)

If I played a necromancer, I would spec for tank and wear something like this….

Cloth Robe..
Plate Shoulders.
Plate Legs.
Plate Gauntlets.
Plate Helmet.
Stack Toughness/Precision/Condition Damage, ect ect…

Would look cool, and look like hes tough, but HE is tough, there is no tank in the game, everyone can tank with enough toughness, and necromancers get alot…

He would look like a dark knight with a staff, would look really good actually.

Necromancers have almost no dodge and are slow and bulky, plate armor WOULD fit them, they are also very survivable…

Here is some examples…
Guardians – Able to use Cloth/Heavy Armor Appearances. (Think Monk.)
Necromancers – Able to use Cloth/Heavy Armor Appearances. (Think Dark Knight.)
Warrior – Able to use Cloth/Heavy Armor Appearances. (Think Berserker.)
Thief – Able to use Medium/Cloth Armor Appearances. (Think Ninja)
Ranger – Able to use Medium/Cloth Armor Appearances. (Think Tracker.)
Engineer – Able to use Medium/Heavy Armor Appearances. (Think Robot.)
Elementalist – Able to use Cloth/Medium Armor Appearances (Think Pyro.)
Mesmer – Able to use Cloth/Medium Armor Appearances (Think Magician.)

All these would work, because for every class there is either a tanky-type playstyle or a squishy type one, even warriors in plate armor with berserker’s set die pretty much instantly, and necromancers full survival can live through raids…

1) Um.. if its that quickly then it wouldn’t matter, you would already be dead if your reflexes are that slow, it wouldn’t matter if it was a thief or engineer….

2) This is comming from someone who does mostly nothing but pvp… but the SOUNDS AND EFFECTS ALONE tell you what the other class is, if you hear the stealth sounds YOU Know its a thief.

3) Sorry, but if they pop out of stealth to attack you, then they are a thief, REGARDLESS of what they wear.

4) I say this.
“allow medium armor wearers to also wear cloth.” – for appearance
“allow heavy armor wearers to wear medium.” – for appearance
“allow cloths wearers to wear medium” – for appearance

Alot of the medium armor looks like cloth anyways.

Honestly… Armor means nothing in this game like it does “WoW” and other games, its all about toughness/endurance, and there isn’t a magic number above anyones head saying what toughness or stats or endurance they have.

You can meet a Warrior that can take an entire raid force, then meet one that melts in 3 seconds.

You can meet a Thief that dies instantly, then one that dodges/endures his way around several players.

You can meet a necromancer that melts instantly, then meet another one that can tank 10 people and then go into death shroud and run away…

Please, I beg of you, keep arguing with me so I can proove you wrong.
“honestly, some Necromancers in plate armor would be quite appropriate….”

Allow each character to pick voices, these voices allow the toon to say different things, and have different voice actors saying them in combat, the mood of the voices sets this as well.

This is kind of an idea from everquest…

- Cheerful “We will win for sure!”
- Righteous/Valorous “Remember %T!!” “Save everyone!”
- Vengeance “I’ll Butcher you…just like you’ve butchered my kin!” “Cleave them in two!”
- Sinister “Fool, out of the way!” “Your wasting my time.”
- Brute “HEH! You dink yew can beat meh!”
- Insane “Hahaahah!” “DIE DIE DIE DIE!” (laughing like a madman!)
- Flirty “Your cute… but out of my way!”
- Sly “You can’t touch me…”
- Tranquil “We must fight for peace.” (very very quiet and calm.)
- Noble/Snooty “Follow me, peasants!”
- Intellectual/Genius “I’ve no time for this, I’ve things to study!”

It doesn’t have to be set to race, there can be racial ones and multiple races can have some of them.

For example… “I’m Gaining Adrenaline!”
- Cheerful “For some reason everything seems fuzzy!”
- Righteous/Valorous “I’m gaining adrenaline!” (current.)
- Vengeance “My hate fuels me!”
- Sinister “My Power is growing…”
- Brute “STOP RUNNIN SO I CAN HIT YEW!”
- Insane "*insane laughing* (laughing like a madman!)
- Flirty “Unguard!”
- Sly “I’ll finish this quickly!”
- Tranquil “breathing exercises” (very very quiet and calm.)
- Noble/Snooty “I feel more powerful!”
- Intellectual/Genius “I see a weakness!”

Wrong, you can tell the class based on there weapons/combat animations.

It doesn’t matter what they wear actually, I don’t even pay attention to that, I pay attention to there actions.

Each Big Achievement (the Achievements on Character Select.) should add a base 5% Bonus Experience (to events as well.) to each of your characters that are 1-79 (Non-80s only).

Each Level 80 Character should add a base 20% Bonus Experience (to events as well.) to each of your characters that are 1-79 (Non-80s only).

Examples:
100% Map Discovery (5% Bonus Experience.)
Join the Vigil (5% Bonus Experience.)
Join the Priory(5% Bonus Experience.)
Join the Order of Whispers (5% Bonus Experience.)
Get a Legendary Weapon (5% Bonus Experience.)
Have a level 80. (20% Bonus Experience.)
Have 2 Level 80s. (+40% Bonus Experience.)

Ect ect…

ATM, I am kind of stuck, i’m working on my third character and it seems so slow and boring doing the low level content again, perhaps the ability to start at level 20-40-60 (20 levels for each level 80.)… but that would break story, experience bonuses do now.

Using this, I would get 65% Bonus Experience myself, but big deal? I’ve been through the game alot and I deserve to level a bit faster for my hard work, its not like i’m getting free gold for doing it, I just don’t have to spend as much time on an alt as I do my mains.

Why would it be today? :/ they are probably waiting for 22nd…

You can hardly call TC a Zerg or Waves, 60 black gate players trying to take a tower with 8 defenders… And about 30 people running around a zerg and another couple of defenders defending the areas.

We really WERE outmatched 6 to 1…

http://imageshack.us/a/img829/2608/gw067f.jpg

I finally had to go to bed, come back and our tower is gone… :/

Each TC Player is his own army.

We held off Langlor for 6 hours last night vs about 60 Blackgate players, I stayed up till 5 AM with several people defending it, we held off Giant Omega Golems, waves of zergs with 3 orbs, and many other players.

We were outmanned 6 to 1 and out buffed, and still held our fortress, I got so tired though I had to log out.

Wake up this morning, its all gone…

Earned about 23 badges, which is really good.

- Talathion, that one thief with the wolf mask.

Feels like i’m shooting my target with 2 nerf guns… thats how low the damage is.

For such a low range weapon, you think it would be a bit more damage.

You need to either buy each piece for 5 gold, or do dungeons…

“Toughness/Precision/Condition Damage.”

Its not very fair that it is condemned to dungeon gear only.

Well if they destroy it, nobody can benefit it, and your team can’t grab it, only the other team anyways right?

I can put soulbound to character armor and jewelry inside the guild bank?

This makes it so nobody can get the buff.

This ensures players who are greatly outnumbered and cannot hold an orb for long has a chance to win.

Minions Effect 5, Wells effect 4, Specter Effect 3.

A feature that allows us to have multiple traits/gear sets to those traits.

My Banks running out of room and I have 3 level 80 characters, I can’t hold all there gear anymore and its a huge concern for me.

Make a video fighting black-gate players.

Just tired of “Thief PWN” videos, when your fighting with 3 orbs vs people with 0 in a glass cannon spec.

3 Orbs of power/almost all map control make anyone good.

Its not really that buggy in SPVP, its very buggy in zergs though.

Having Three Orbs is pretty awesome.

150 to all stats an extra 15% health is a huge difference….

I’m saying you can only USE 3 of them, since there isn’t an elite or a healing spectral spell, like there is minions and wells.

Well, being outnumbered 3 to 1 and having the ‘3’ side have a base 150 to all stat bonus and an extra 15% health on top of that is pretty significant.

Meanwhile, 33% extra karma for us, too bad we cannot capture anything.

Plus they bounce around your thieves guild guys and back to you twice…

20% base experience bonus for all character under level 80, (1-79) this makes leveling a new character easier for each level 80 character you have, but does not give a bonus to the level 80 characters themselves, this makes re-rolling easier, and also makes people who like to try new things not so limited to one character.

20% from Precision Trait + 40% from food + Power Tree’s Condition Duration = A lot of Benefit.

Those 2 ticks alone uncontested damage make up the extra 400 damage you get from going power.

Precision helps condition damage builds alot, power is completely useless to those who use conditions.

“66% CHANCE ON CRITICAL to cause bleeding, NO internal CD.”
“Sigil of Earth”.

These are just examples from the necromancer class alone, many classes have the same kinds of traits, engineers and guardians as well.

@Jujube.4981
There is no “Pre/Tough/Condition” Set for Jewelry, and none for crafting, this is for the crafting forum, this is not the dungeon forum.

http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/163/wutw.jpg/

Currently, As a Necromancer, I could go Critical Chance (Precision)/Power/Toughness (knights set.) and get far more benefit to my condition damage just by ignoring the stat and focusing on critical, THIS IS NOT RIGHT.

I just thought it was a cool idea, I got negative and positive responces from it.

Due to the lack of gear with the stats. “Precision/Condition Damage” and having no jewelry for that, the necromancer lacks in alot of the power he was meant to have, if more gear showed up with these stats, then the necromancer’s true power would probably shine.

Power is completely USELESS without having precision, your critical attacks stacking with power would do far more damage then getting just raw power. (Precision magnifies based on your base power as well, so even if you lost all the power from the set it would just be better.)

Making it Precision would bring about the same damage as you would get with the power you have, you would not see a difference in damage, but since you actually critical, it opens FAR more options for you.

You cannot craft rabid.

http://imageshack.us/a/img163/1148/wutw.jpg

This is why Power is useless, Why should someone who stacks precision do more condition damage then someone who stacks mostly conditions?

Toughness is nice, but with some classes having such a LOW health pool… it destroys the entire concept.

One of the best sets, but also one of the worst, the Carrion set was meant for condition damage and builds, but the “Power” portion of the set does nothing for condition damage, nore does it help apply bleeds any faster, alot of traits require you to critical to get more dots, but this set adds none.

Power is a completely useless statistic unless you have alot of precision, can we please change the Power on Carrion Set to a better, more useful stat.. Power without “Power” the ability to critical is USELESS… (I only have a 4% chance to critical, I have the entire set.)

“Precision.” – This would allow the Carrion to actually critical, even though the criticals would do far less damage then normally, it would actually PROC things like bleeds and poisons from sigils and traits that cause bleeding on criticals.

“Toughness.” – This would allow the Carrion to survive, and work really well with many builds, Carrions weren’t meant to die easily since the set and play-style is “wearing your opponent down.”

Hopefully you add it soon, otherwise that is a pretty bad move to people who have been waiting for the feature for months. :/

I bought gems already.. :/

It was there and now its gone.

I bought gems to buy it and its gone…

Eve Online/Star Wars Galaxies was almost completely controlled by players.

You all said it was a bit overpowered, so how about adding a little bit of time to it, say bumping it up from 25 to 28 seconds, this leave it to be a 22 second cooldown if you add down with the trait, 3 seconds off from it.

This ensures the play-style of a non-specter is not changed too much, Necromancers honestly don’t need a nerf, they need buffs.

Honestly, the reason I have offered the idea is because it gives the traits more value and syncs into what necromancers do best, heal and survive, the traits reflect that, and to have a -20% trait (one of the more valuable necromancer traits.) only effect 3 abilities while most other ones effect 5 abilities, it does not seem fair, this offers more balance among the necromancers base traits, they should not sacrifice so much without vain.

Spectre:
1. a ghost; phantom; apparition
2. a mental image of something unpleasant or menacing: the spectre of redundancy

I don’t think a normal necromancer could just eat his own conditions and gain health, but one who learns spectral magic could.

The “Rampage as One” effect rangers get makes them look completely BA, it makes them look like a berzerker and enraged…
