Necro has been a DoT class in every MMO i’ve ever played, so I always play one that way. Never really thought of rolling one for direct damage, doesn’t really fit the theme to me.
So I don’t use SR much, unless it’s for Dhuumfire.
I heard they reworking the entire Spite trait line
And also some of the Reaper trait line to move it away from condi back to power where it originaly was intended to be.
sadly no specific infos about these yet…..
soooo Buffs Confirmed ? this alone got me hyped for the expansion lol
Man I hope not. Power builds are boring.
We are getting a Condi Elite in Path of Fire… Reaper was supposed to be Power…
Says who? Looks like it was built to be a hybrid to me, and I like it just the way it is. I see no reason to change it.
Said the person who created it, Robert Gee. He even said in the original stream announcement of Reaper that it was power focused.
With Scourge being designed to be condi-centric, it makes sense for Reaper to be power-centric.
So it was meant to be a power spec, but it has been a hybrid spec for almost two years? If it had been power from the beginning, fine, but people have built their classes and characters a certain way. I can understand nerfing or buffing, but completely changing a spec from one thing to another is a bad idea.
Besides, can’t people play it as Power right now anyway? They need to leave the chill condition components alone for the condi players that have incorporated Reaper into their build.
I’ve been playing DoT based characters since Everquest debuted it’s glorious Necromancer back in 1999. Those awful condition builds are one of the main reasons I play this game Power builds bore me, dot builds make me happy.
I’m hoping mounts have a turn rate. The instant turning in WoW and other MMO’s drive me crazy.
I absolutely looooooved driving around in the motorcycles in Firefall, it was way more fun than you could ever expect for just going around in a mount.
They do, you can see the guy running circles around Bog Otter here in this clip
Do you think there will be an animation when you mount? I hate when you summon your mount and it just appears beneath you (SWTOR, Rift, WoW). Games like ESO, BDO, LOTRO, etc all have a quick mount/dismount animation and I feel it really adds to immersion.
Any one know yet?
Yep, WoodenPotato shown it. Its a nice realistic POOFFF! … and there you go.

I am.
I came back and started tentatively playing my engineer again with the hopes of using a sword.
But the reality is, this isn’t even really a sword spec. It’s a “form/shroud/stance” spec. All traits are dependent on using Photon Forge form, which half the skills are replaced by “photon” weapons other than a sword and the sword in the from uses a separate skin than your actual weapon.
The last part is mostly a cosmetic thing, but considering the amount of money people spend on skins in this game, you can’t really say it isn’t an issue.
So, now I wait to see the details on the Ranger elite, to see if that actually seems like something I would like. Otherwise, the expansion is a no starter for me as my main interest is mechanics not more land that will always be essentially the same as all MMOs.
I don’t think that’s correct, Aurora Peach’s video shows her using a regular sword and not the lightsaber shown in the PoF trailer.
In the aftershow Bogotter revealed that the Holosmith is a high risk/reward POWER glass-canon, with the heatmechanic giving you more dps as heat increase but with a chance that you may explode if too much heat is generated. A new specific heal skill was mentioned as a counter to overheating.
But pistol offhand is condi
Yeah, I’m perplexed by the use of pistol offhand with a sword. Seem counter-intuative to being a power based build. Who knows, maybe it’s not power, but he meant “Power” as in DPS focused in general.
If the sword can be used as a condi mainhand weapon, I will be extremely happy. I dunno why, but power builds bore me to tears, i go nuts for DoTs.

You have to click on the target (so select the downed guy) then use your gyro key (it usually prompts you saying click this to stomp).
Yea, i do that…then there’s a very short cast bar and action changes to whatever it is for the manual stomp if i’m close enough, if i’m not, nothing whatsoever happens.
I want my engi to have laser gun and tactical nukes. My flamethrowers flame doesn’t go far enough, I want it to be a dyeable too. /sarc
I know you’re being sarcastic, but on that topic I’d like to be able to change skins for turrets as well…Rifle Turret especially, that thing just looks terrible…like someone superglued a piece of pvc to a tripod.
I’m all for this….I get to summon a black blob? yay…how’s that for creativity. Necro’s should summon undead – zombies and skeletal knights, etc, not black blobs and skeletal scorpions.
I also dislike the human male voice, and I didn’t care for his voice acting in SWTOR either. I want the voice of the guy that did the male Sith Warrior.
Guardian is actually the spiritual successor of paragon, monk, and ritualist o.o
“It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training, wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha. A real grab bag of ‘you can’t hurt me’. They’re called Guardians.”
Both Paragon and Ritualist were so much more fun than the GW2 Guardian. Makes me said to hear that comparison.
The appearance of player characters are getting quite annoying. These are examples you see pretty much all the time, and everywhere, and it’s really taking its toll.
Taking it’s toll on what? I don’t see anything wrong in any of those pictures. The level of complaining over paltry, piddly crap is getting absurd.
If you don’t like how someone looks, don’t look at them.
For the record, I wear a metal smith backpack (3rd tier i think) and none of this bothers me at all.
Power builds bore me, dot builds make me happy.
