Now with the update I have a problem to get agony resist and don`t lose other stats. All my infusion slots equiped with WwWwW infusions because they are cheap. But If I want to play FoTM(my personal before update was 50) I need to get my agony resist back. Ofcourse I can buy cheap infusion inside FoTM but they have only resist without stats – this is not good. I also look at Mystic forge infusion – they have agony resist and good stats(like www infusions) but they cost like 30-40 gold each. May be this is too much Anet?
Dear DEVs… Christmas is coming =) It is time for mirracle and gifts.
We had so many topics in this forum about “Aegis visual effect” … we asked you to remove it or remake. And know I am asking you: can you make Virtue of Courage passive effect triggered only in combat?
I think that this change will make many people from our community verry happy.
Now if we have 10 sec of Aegis boon it mean that during 10 sec we can block one hit. I think this is bad and poor idea.
I suggest: If we have 1 sec of Aegis boon it mean during 1 sec we can block all attacks. Ofcourse after this remake need to change all skills that grant Aegis boon to 1-2 sec duration.
This change will make Aegis boon very good and strong situational defence.
The change to sword damage from 5% to 10%. I’ve seen a lot of talk that maybe it is not really needed. The fact was this was a lackluster trait and this is a lackluster change to it. I would love to do the right thing here and have a change that MH sword wants rather than just 5% more damage.
Thoughts?
Jon
You are saying about more damage to sword but we don`t need this
We saying about “mobility” with sword
I want to see that sword skills doesn`t root me – if I use sword #3 I can walk\run etc. If I use sword #2 I want to decide place and way of teleport.
If DEVs team want to burst sword damage then give a condition to sword skills or attacks.
So simple…
I think Aegis need a rework…something like:
- Aegis boon block all attack;
- Aegis boon have a duration-style block;
- If I have 2 sec of Aegis boon – I block all attacks during 2 sec;
!!!
1. More weapon skills
2. New heavy armor profession
3. New territory
4. AOE nerf or AOE resist for pets\minions
5. New WWW maps and tiers of defense structure.
Good ideas guys. And keep posting here please. We don`t need many topics about “I want that my guardian…”. We need only one solid and constructive subject!
Our complication that we still have useless weapons(sword and shield)and utility skills(spirit weapons and signets) in WvWvW. And this stupid feel that if you want to be a team player and good player in your static\guild etc. you need to play with GS\STaff|Hammer…maybe mace+focus and use shouts+one consecration or meditation for solo or roaming. So we play in this builds one year ago…and Anet says to us “go on…love this gameplay and forgot about your profession others skills and weapons”
…
So…Yeah…I am angry!
I am very angry too…
any changes too Spirit weapons \ Sword skills \Shield Skills…
I think that Anet must fire people who work on the balance of classes and skills…they work poorly!
My list:
- delete time limit from spirit weapons;
- give a symbol to sword; make sword ability #3 cast on move;
- give a blast finisher and aegis boon to shield or re-make shield to block attacks(shield must block!); also reduce CD on shield`s skills;
- make all “utility” signets instant cast;
- nerf Staff skills #1 and #4;
As I just read from dulfy.net many legendaries will have a good re-texturing and light effects but “No change to Twilight/Sunrise/Flameseeker Prophecies/Rodgort – we felt they were awesome already”.
Flameseeker Prophecies one of the worst legendary without skill animation(Twilight/Sunrise/The Dreamer etc) and without footfalls.
Dear DEVs pls make off-hand legendaries to have cool effects too…
TXAA
Anti-aliasing smoothes out jagged edges but can be demanding on framerates. TXAA is an in-game option that combines MSAA, temporal filtering, and post processing for even higher visual fidelity.
TXAA now using in Assassin’s Creed III, The Secret World, ArcheAge etc.
Sword is pretty strong on paper. Fast attacks, multi hitting auto attack which procs virtue of justice every rotation, high mobility, and for shortage of gap closer you have a projectile blocker available until your port is ready.
Biggest problem with sword is that it is a single target oriented weapon and AE weapons can do just as much damage and perform better in a majority of the fights you will encounter.
On a boss PvE fight or even in a 1v1 fight, sword will perform well. Same goes for scepter as it suffers from the same design ideas of fast attacking but single target oriented.
Throwing out a random statistic, 95% of the fights you run into throughout the game are group oriented fights, making sword and scepter only shine in about 5% of the game. Made up statistics are made up, but the idea I think holds true.
The other downside to sword is that ZD is (as so often pointed out) not strong enough to warrant use most of the time. Added on top of the fact that you are rooted in place and it is easy to run out of the projectile range or even strafe them.
Faster projectiles, or homing projectiles can assist making this better. Higher damage wouldn’t hurt as well. As it is now though, it is more of a utility thing than a primary on cooldown attack.
The approximate “burst” time of ZD is about 2 seconds worth of casting give or take. The auto attack chain is also an approximate 2 second rotation. Our auto chain hits 5 times while zd will hit 8 times. Shorten VoJ procs to 4 hits to burn and ZD will do slightly more damage than the auto chain, but that is a lot of trait points to made ZD “almost” useful in the sense of damage.
Very good post but Anet DEVs doesn`t want to see this…
ololololo re-balance patch – and we receive boost of shouts and GS build!
I really hate people who makes guardian skills change and balance!
I don`t see any good changes.
Spirit weapons buff but only for PvE and sPvP(at WwWwW it will be die instantly)
Zeal traits buff for GS but GS now the most Guardian DPS weapon already.
More Heal from Shouts build – lol shouts build only one for teamplay if you are guardian.
Any really good change for Radiance and Virtues…
I am very upset…
Seniour DEVs Why we wouldn`t receive sword\shield changes again in future patch???
Why you can`t make Zealot`s Defense “cast on move”?
Why you can`t put new condition(torment) into Flashing blade?
