Lets all play thiefs… I mean poping people like water balloons is a lot of fun.

Its sad I have to die to get that awesome illusion. I vote dump the mage illusion and put that in its place!

The ultimate idea to fix WvW server balance.

in WvW

Posted by: Direwind.8409

Direwind.8409

ok so it isn’t my idea, but one from daoc kinda.

ok, this only applies to WvW.

to solve the Balance issue anet should do the following.

each side would be linked to another server at random, the amount of servers linked per side depends on how low the wvw population is on avg for the sides chosen.

while in wvw you would see the other players from your linked server in this format <name, guild, server>

servers are ranked separately even when linked.

Why are we so short?!!1

Asura are small because they used to live deep underground where the pressure was immense, this caused them to grow larger eyes, more dense bones and shorter to cope with the pressure.

the dragon destroyed their home so now they have to live top side with the infidels

Would the Asura be better taller?

Why haven't the azura been destroyed.

So, why haven’t they been destroyed?

They are by far the most obnoxious race, rude with delusion of grandeur they have a genetic disposition toward a-narcissistic personality disorder.

They are always fighting between themselves, murdering seem fine with them so long as they see a promotion or a reward, they think nothing of backstabbing their own crew; Their government is totally corrupted too, their whole society is focused on scientific advancement at any cost and the prestige that comes with it.

Dragons are not the threat, the asura are, with their blatant disregard for all life and their drive to push the boundaries of their science at any cost will end up destroying the world.

I think its time for an Asuran cull.

Thieves. The One man army.

Here is point and fact, when forming a WvW group to take over an area you discount the thieves, because they are tag along class, offering very little.

When forming a WvW group to harras or troll the larger force you get a group of thieves to do it, they will roam and cause chaos while the main force actually accomplishes some thing.

I don’t know what crack you all are smoking, but my thief brings a ton to the table, both in roaming AND zerg fights.

Good lord, you sound like rangers. Unbunch your panties, pull out your short bow, and blast / poison / damage / heal the crap out of things.

nope haven’t met a thief I would want over a >guardian, elem, Mesmer, warrior or even necro.

Thieves. The One man army.

The Thief.

The most mobile class in the game
The class with the most and highest damage potential
The class that cannot be caught in combat or out of combat
The class with the best or close to the best talent synergy
The class with the (lets not lie here) overpowered Stealth mechanic
(perma in combat stealth anyone)
The class that is as easy to play as a warrior.

The class that offers NOTHING worth while to a group.
The class that is next to totally USELESS in a WvW zerg
The class that is Pretty much a leech in most large skirmish in WvW.
The class that is forced to Scout all the time because that is all they can offer.
The class that is forced to Kill quick or die by zerg
The class that is forced to roam solo or in a small group with other thieves, because they are forever alone and shunned by society and their mother doesn’t love them either.

Tbh while I find stealth stupidly broken and overpowered all else seem like a bad trade off for a game that is group pvp oriented

You have two class buffs, what would they be.

in Mesmer

Direwind.8409

So, just interested to see what people would chose to buff.

This would be my change.

I would change
Temporal Curtain > players attacked by ranged weapons while behind the wall will have the attacks transformed into boons. detonating the wall gives you 5 sec of swiftness.

Phantasmal Warden > no longer aborbs ranged attacks.
Phantasmal Warden > deals 10% more damage, will pull targets towards the warden 2 second pulse 5 sec internal cooldown.

Chaos Armor? new change doesnt make sense.

in Mesmer

Direwind.8409

So, I understand the change to the skill that stopped armour from applying as your first boon, I mean it isn’t very chaotic when you know what it will do, but what I don’t understand is this;

You fire the skill off, but you get Nothing until they hit you? most people stop attacking for the duration of the skill, so this means we have a skill that does nothing half the time.

But if you do actually have a player hit you, the skill only firsts only every 1 second, the skill doesn’t even last that long so you only get on avg if they are hitting you 3 to 4 procs of anything…

I am new to the Mesmer so please correct me if im wrong.

A question of clones.

in Mesmer

Posted by: Direwind.8409

Direwind.8409

Ok, this is prolly old new, and known by all, but I’m new to the Mesmer and would like to know if I am correct.

I look at the talents and see two talents, one of which applies conditions the other applies a cripple, both of these require the clones to be “Killed”

However, while spamming the sceptre I noticed that whenever a clone was replaced by a new clone they triggered the condition and cripple, it works when overriding with a phantom too.

Is this indended? I have watched those awesome guides of the class, non of which mentions this.

Why did the mesmer cross the Road?

So guys, Why did the Mesmer cross the Road?

post your answers!

Because His Moa illusion back-fired and he was making a wild get away?!

necro Attrition and death shroud.

in Necromancer

Posted by: Direwind.8409

Direwind.8409

I’m just gonna get to the point here.

Death shroud is a form of amassed life force, all the necro attacks siphon life, their spells are fuelled by life, they use their own life to fuel some spells…

WHY can’t they turn this amassed life inwards to health themselves, its true you can hulk out and become a spectre of amassed life, but they is using the power as a health buffer rather than actually using it to heal.

As a guardian players I was just thinking, maybe Death shroud should heal while the user is in the aspect.

Warriors have a health regen sig, guardians do it as standard, elems can heal and heal on attack, thiefs can heal on attack.

its safe to say every class has some sort of regen like this, why not necro and death shroud?

Question necro mobility and counter mobility?

in Necromancer

Posted by: Direwind.8409

Direwind.8409

I was just wonding about it, I don’t know much about the class tbh so I thought I would ask.

What mobility and counter mobility skills do you guys have?

I know you can root and teleport via Shade form, I know you have atleast 2 forms of roots on some types of weapons, I know a minion can root or force a teleport to target, I know you have controls in the form of fear that can be place to make a target run the other direction, I know you have atleast one run speed skill.

at a quick glance it seems necro is a skirmisher, I don’t see them as a range class, but more a melee hybrid, all their skills seem to be for aggressive action with no thought of escape, kinda win or face death sorta thing.

maybe some of you can educate me.

Wannabe Heroes make me sick.

in Necromancer

Posted by: Direwind.8409

Direwind.8409

I don’t play a necro, i have wanted to try one so i come here to look them over, but i have not gotten around to making one, but reading over these forums i see alot fo “I’m a hero, i think they should do XX to Nerf XX on my beloved class the necro”

Seriously.. what the hell, do you know how sickening that is to read? let me point some thing out.

necro as a class haves been the underdog since release, they have been the joke of the game for a long time, Skilled players stuck with it, worked hard to become masters of a flawed class, these players are vastly better players than you get on other classes because they have to work harder to do the same.

Now i ask you, what would happen if these skilled players had their weak flawed class buffed to “PUT THEM IN LINE” with other classes? do you think they would be any less skillful with their class? or do you think they would wipe the floor with anyone not on thier player skill level due to the classes being on an even footing?

I understand that some of you necro players are in shock, it will pass, the fact of the matter is you are not used to being on-par with other classes, all i ask is you give it two months, then let the Skilled known necro players speak out about the changes.

End of rant.
