because its the most mobile if the persons smart they won’t stay still and the D/D has the most mobility while still keeping a lot of dps.
but if their stupid and stay in place then scepter is your go to weapon, due to the fact that fire 2,3,4,5 = insta downed for everybody.
this is why people always switch to the golden 4 or the 2 shining stars.
theives
warriors
guardians
mesmers
makes just those 4 classes and your set for life since anet will never kill the class to slightly nerf 1 build of the class.
guardian and mesmers if you want a class thats the best in pvp and pve mesmers for time warp and portals.
and i main a ele thats not the cookie cutter bunker build, its funny how they had to fix a class with the lowest hp and armor being able to get away is more important than the perma stealth exploit, and general trollishness of thieves which everybody hates.
so the video was of you running through a group of people when you had more people and a ballista(s) and numerous ACs.
and you’re bragging about how you won that? if you lost that then you should of quit wvw right there.
it makes you look like an kitten, if someone does that to me and gets smacked down i dont stomp and just wait for them to bleed out, while jumping all around them doing a rain dance.
god help the guy if i have the dance book, but all /laugh does is make you look overconfident, which ends up getting you killed.
i got a anti stealth trap once from a wvw chest, i wasted 10 supply to troll some kitten roaming theif. (don’t tell me to L2P he was actually an kitten, him and his entire guild).
i would gladly pay any price to watch him try and panic stealth for 30 secs again, but he still got away since theives still have double the amount of QQ potential as any class without stealth. 10x as much if the theif can still stealth.
if a theif dies because he can’t stealth then he just needs to be given the L2P post
im just laughing at the people who say they report people for akitteng, you do know if you send in enough erroneous reports accusing people of something they didn’t do you’ll just be ignored when you actually report a real bot or you’ll get in trouble for essentially wasting someones time.
besides you’re going a little overboard with this afk thing, especially since the minigame isn’t even permanent.
and the afk auto boot won’t happen if they talk in chat or mess around in any of the menus.
let alone its a 30 min timer before you’re actually auto booted for doing absolutely nothing; maybe longer.
i and many others hate that mini game i dont see how you like dps zerg fest, don’t blame the players, blame the achievements.
but she doesn’t have that guild tag, iv’e met her once before and i never got the chance to beat her up.
but that was way before the dragon bash let alone the aetherblades leak
so whats up with these guys, its a group of people mainly a norn mesmer, asura warrior, human necro, and a charr engineer with the medium steampunk armor on.
they’re sitting around in some random place, with a group of 5 hyleks and grawls carrying banners.
you can talk to the main ones and the asura warrior will give you a fight challenge where you have to fight either 5 hyleks or grawls with one being vet. then fight two of the 5 main people, i fought the mesmer and the necro then the challenge was complete and i got a modus supplies chest that acted just like any regular chest.
i didnt get a screenshot of them standing around unfortunately since they disappeared into a portal shortly after.
to be honest you’re not supposed to even be fighting dragon minions until a higher level, this only made them harder for the lower levels that are actually leveling and running across these in the wild.
some random warrior or guardian in full exotics is still gonna down them in less than 5 secs flat, since none of them are ranged mobs
being akitten is never gonna count as something reportable, people don’t like the who can out dps the other guy fest, so they’d rather do something else than sit through 20 games of crap they hate.
missing 1 achievement out of 14 isn’t gonna stop them from getting the shatterer wings
a couple corrections, ele’s can’t destroy seige shots anymore, and npcs with the buffed status are now invincible they dont just mitigate damage to 0 anymore they straight ignore it until the buffs over. meaning you can’t do anything to them until its over.
its not broken as you see it, its just 2 servers can’t have the outmanned buff at the same time. so if the dominating server outnumbers your server by 6 to 1 and the server lower than you by 10 to 1 if the other server has even 1 person on that map your server won’t get it even though the winning server has 10x as many people than both of the losing servers.
its not broken as it can just be abused by trolls.
by pre events you mean the one where you have to burn the karka nests or else crazed karka will keep spawning and dropping loot?
its not that hard to figure out thats a farming spot, but nobodys gonna farm it because they wanna kill the queen maybe once southsun finally dies down
the scepter has a very good burst damage potential with the offhand dagger if someones stupid enough to stand still, or in a close area.
but most aren’t, but yeah thats the dragons tooth skill just use a control skill on the ele when he does it, dragons tooth won’t hit anything when you fear/knockdown/knockback/stun/blind/daze and every skill has those things, its an annoying glitch for eles.
and one that anet won’t fix before they nerf this
there needs to be some sort of system in place to prevent door/wall rezzing of mesmers and people through walls in general.
either after 5 or 10 minutes of being dead your body has an option to be forced respawned by the enemy much like stomping someone or be hampered like the self revive orbs grace period.
we ran off the odd theif or 2 trying to rez him we couldn’t get a screen shot due to them abusing the stealth mechanic on the door, and other methods.
so the best PvE class should be punished so other classes who aren’t as good will be picked up for farming runs?
its the best for a reason and gold/tokens aren’t soulbound.
monsters don’t care about bunker builds since all they really care about is killing you without worrying about survivability.
but tanking the average mobs and a vet every now and then is not worth using a bunker, now if you’re mostly wvw then go ahead; but leave the tanking to the guardians and warriors in pve. since a lot of mobs your tankyness would be good on would just 1 shot you anyways, eles still are the lowest hp and armor classes.
if you wanna do both then look at the traits and try to find what works for you best, not just copy pasting the cookie cutter build.
Then what would be the point for soul bound in the first place? Add that item in you are asking, and they might as well as take out soul bound all together. Since there is no item decay, soul bound is needed, otherwise the TP would get flooded with all gear, the prices would plummet, and everyone can get what ever gear they want to little effort.
did you forget about the magical thing called account bound? he’s asking for the soulbound items to be account bound so you can transfer it between characters, you still can’t sell any bound items in the TP
im guesting on Fc atm and nothing is spawning at the union WP, just servants.
it was the same why on Hod earlier, but the mobs were spawning and dropping loot then it got to the point where only the servants were and now this, nothings here
it was just after the small update earlier today were the union farm was still up but the temple event was uncontested.
and from what iv’e heard from guildmates every server is like this.
and from what iv’e seen and heard that once the farm manages to stay up and not be ruined that loot drops would no longer happen after a while. i thought it was a bad case of DR.
but did Anet permanently finish the lyssa event so people couldn’t farm for money? or actually do the temple event for the chest and bonus chest.
iv’e leveled a ranger all the way to level 80, unlocked every single utility skill but not once have i seen a skill that gives a lone ranger stealth, i know theres guard for his pet.
iv’e been doing some wvw and in a couple cases ive seen rangers going invisible, and in a few cases them instantly teleporting to another location (now i know its obvious the teleporting ones are hacking)
and again iv’e seen a rangers dead pet revive the ranger from downed state, you couldn’t do anything to the pet because its downed and the pet is out healing what i could muster since iv’e been mostly playing as a healing guardian. and since underwater combat doesn’t have a stomp option i couldn’t do anything but watch as he got away.
but whats going on there? is it hacking or just hidden knowledge about the ranger i dont know about?
A-net doesn’t actually get the money, its Ncsoft the publisher, it was their idea that to get certain things you need to have really good luck.
until you or someone can prove to them that direct and probably more expensive just weapon/armor skin purchases is more profitable it won’t change.
but Anet doesn’t actually get the money to put back into Gw2 it all goes to Ncsoft which then goes to their other MMOs which are honestly crappier and not has popular, to make them better or get the name out more.
they go after the squishiest of the group first, iv’e been in dungeons with my ele with other classes that aren’t as squishy and they all go after me all the time.
AI for some reason knows how squishy you are and tries to kill the easiest one first
Devs are well aware of this spot. We had a dev watch us a few weeks ago and farm with us for a bit for 15 mins, then logged off.
It’s not real hard to fix. Just throw in some nobles, a champion abomination with charge and no one will be able to farm it ever again.
and good luck trying to find someone to complete the Lyssa chain when it happens
Hey, I don’t want the farm to stop :P
People will still be able to complete the Lyssa chain – just need to dps down those walls (don’t need to kill any mobs)
you need to kill the walls, AND kill the remaining mobs, thats gonna be awfully hard with a couple champ nobles and abominations. not to mention the vet acolytes blind fields that do 1k a sec, and the vet wizards. and the fact that vet acolytes summon plague carriers while your trying to kill the nobles and abominations.
its so theives, eles, w/e class cant go into big groups use up all of their high damage AOE, skills then either run out or just suicide taking how ever many ppl or under levels they managed to get
they’re not preventing you from completing it they just won’t help you, 2 totally different stories.
and even then you can guest on a world that has completed the event
Problem is that they are preventing you. The event scales to the number of players in the area and if 90% of them are balled up in one section farming the ever-spawning mobs then the remaining players will have difficulty completing the event intended for a much larger group.
you still have guesting, there’s a site called gw2dragon i think that keeps track of open temples.
use that instead of making everybody hate you, they already buffed the event with the wizards and giving the vet acolytes those blind fields that do like 1K+ damage a sec.
not to mention with all the culling around theres a mysterious monster called unknown that smacks various players for around 20k to 40k damage.
You dont think that its a problem when people have to search around and try to guest on someone else’s server just to get access to a vendor and have an area without a set of active statues, assuming they can find one that is uncontested and doesnt have a group of farmers from other servers who have been guesting. That doesnt address the issue that the farmers activities are blocking people actually doing the event IE those that want to enjoy the event and get the chest – that may not be interesting for some but it is for others and is the way the event was intended to be done.
Astonishing that you think the people who want to be able to do this on their own server should garner more hate than those who are preventing it.
no because you pretty much have to do that for every other temple, what do you think will happen if they fixed the union wp farm? nobodys gonna be there just like every other temple.
and unless you have ties to guilds that run temple events then guesting on other servers is still the best method.
nobody is going to like being spammed with dual messages because someone wants to make their kitten bigger that fighting and killing some random dude or under level

so you’re telling me that as an ele who has 2 knockdown skills in the water, and 1 float up skill that you can’t use one on the pet? and not only that you couldn’t outdamage the pet? with more than 1 person?
The difference is Engineer’s kits count as other weapon abilities. Similar to Elementalist and attunement, they unlock whole new weapon abilities.
If anything, both Elementalists & Engineers get 4 (or 5 including med kit) weapons, so if anything all other professions should be able to cycle through 4 sets.
Why do these professions get 20 weapon skills to play around with but others only get 10?
why do every other profession other than the engineer have long range, and short range capabilities? but we’re only stuck with short range weapons or long range?
you don’t need waypoints uncontested for map completion fyi, if you’re talking about certain commune skill points that are guarded by a dozen vet monsters or that champion noble monster which requires someone to kite him and the other monsters around.
then yes that needs to be fixed to a run in and grab or a drop in level so someone solo could do it.
the nerf didn’t really do much to eles personally other than kick them in the balls for have mobility, which i dont get the logic in the RTL CD since its only a 1200 range now and it has 1 of the longest CDs for a movement skill even if you hit something.
people are still gonna complain about the bunker builds, but those builds can’t do anything to you unless you’re fighting them in a group, in a 1v1 a wet noodle will only make someone laugh.
well tbh staff isn’t really hard hitting, its more of support, but if eles were able to use say a D/D and staff build then they pretty much would have more QQ potential for getting out of fights than a thief has.
and theives wouldn’t like that since them and warriors are the only class that can do no wrong
Why do you guys continue to make the majority of your balance decisions around sPVP performance when hardly anyone plays it? By any measure, sPVP has been a failed experiment, why does the rest of the game have to suffer through class balance decisions that are clearly 100% targeted at sPVP?
I suppose you missed the fact that they are splitting skill changes from now on?
Tell that to the recent ele nerfs.
So Elementalists are sad that they can’t fly over the whole freakin’ place in PvE with Ride the Lightning?
Right.
Eles are sad because their 1 movement skill got a kick in the balls nerf while every other class that has movement skills did not.
and the mistform nerf which was a bit cheap but its not like light armor users are tanks and can take everything.
