I would like to set my pet on fire with my torch and send it to enemy zerg to apply burning. Pet is dead meat anyways in large fights so might as well go up in flames.
lol this reminds me of one of the combo finishers Anet always talked about (it’s still in game sorta) if you send a pet through a poison field (it now has to be a leap) they’ll be coated in poison and effect everyone nearby.
The EFFECT isn’t in game anymore, but if your pet leaps through a poison field there is a poison cloud that surrounds, and follows, your pet for a while xD

Torch isn’t meant to be utility weapon, its supposed to be a damage option. At least that’s my impression. Warhorn is group support, Dagger is self support / utility, Torch is damage.
A blind on hit for Throw Torch wouldn’t be too bad, though. TT is perhaps a tad underwhelming, and it makes some amount of sense to be blinded by the smoke from the flames.
Bonfire is already great as-is, though. High damage (both direct and burn) and a long-lasting Fire field which does provide some group utility as well. All of your suggestions seem more magical in nature also, which I’d expect to see more on something like Mesmer or Guardian (and in fact Guardian torch does have a condition cleanse) than Ranger.
As for it being “dull”… eh. To each their own. I’m quite fond of Torch personally, especially combined with Sword.
Just pointing this out… Rangers use magic… A LOT, a few of our weapon skills we channel the power of an animal, we can change the terrain into mud, summon spirits, shoot lightning, conjure vines to constrict enemies, summon animals, etc.

I’d like to just see it back to what it was in alpha lol, you can charge it up longer for better results, all charges had blind, max charge was kitten daze and a lot of aoe damage, but noooo anet had to go and remove all the charge up skills…
Wow, anet is very competent in nerfing.
oh i know, you shoulda seen the utilities that rangers used to have… like a pet rez, a stealth, a mimic of the thieves “steal” skill except it generated an item based on the environment instead of enemy (IE if you’re in woods you’d get a branch, ruins a rock, places like orr would be a skull etc), i know churning earth was also a “charge” skill so you could blow it up early if you wanted for a lower radius, less damage, and less bleeding.

In the past, I’ve seen a number of posts requesting a mechanic similar to GW1 earning of elite skills. Now that we are being given something similar to that, all I see is complaigning. What’s up with that?
Because its nothing similar to gw1 elite skills obtaining? GW1 elites were class skills, which bosses used and you cap it after defeating boss, this is uniclass skill that you get thru achivement grind.
It is similar. First off, the class of the skill has nothing to do with the mechanic, I’m not sure why you associated the class of the skill with the mechanic used in obtaining it. Also, please describe the achievement grind that is required to get the skill. There has been no mention of a grind associate with obtaining the skill. In fact, it looks like you will be able to purchase it with skill points.
Also, could you please tell me what class Raven Blessing was specific to?
So if you are able to buy it with skill points how is that similar to capping it like in gw1?
And plz don’t go there, eotn skills locked behind achivements were worst thing that happend to gw, it completely destroyed pve. It all became speedclear this, speedclear that…
And beeing shared among all was another turnoff for me.
Turn off or not the fact is there were two ways to earn elite skills. One way was to cap them, the other was to earn them through quests. Quests are what you seem to call grind.
Not enough details on how to obtain the new skill, but it does appear that once the chapter is finished, people will still be able to obtain the skill in a manner similar to purchasing it.
If I remember right, skill caps had to be purchased in GW1.
Yup, Signet of Capture cost 1platinum and 1 skill point (like any other skill), you then had to hunt down the boss with the elite skill (or non elite skill if you REALLY wanted that skill before you got to the trainer that sold it), kill them, and then use the signet on their corpse.

I don’t mind it actually, yes it IS somewhat cheap, BUT! It changes the pace and tactics, making it different from all the other maps. And I don’t mind a bit of variety ^-^
And variety means that you cant waddle into sky hammer with 0 stability and 0 knockbacks. Just bring one or the other for then that que pops and you should be good.
No.
it doesn’t reward skill.
It is ALWAYS abused.
Someone doesn’t know how to position themselves very well…
Yeah, dont stand on the edge
Yeah its all about positioning folks.
The trick is to position close to your opponent and hit fear me, pretty much wherever they are standing in the canon room they will go running off the map.
I run as an ele with no stability and i very rarely fall to my death, just keep your back close to the wall or have a stun break ready and you’re almost always in good shape….
Gotta say i do think the cannon room thing should be a little bigger, as much as i love my Staff AoEs consuming the entire area, it’s kinda ridiculous.

If gw1 is any indication, my guess is:
- not usable in spvp
- either skill is ‘under-powered’ (like racial skills) and will see niche use in pve/wvw
- or skill is ‘over-powered’ (like gw1 pve skills) and will not be allowed in wvw in addition to spvp
I would bet on underpowered like racial skills. But they do want to put new skills in the game and an underpowered skill would not advance them towards that goal.
neither would adding a unniversal skill, they want to put new skills in for the professions, IE unique to those professions, that will make people feel like they’re advancing and becoming stronger, not having some universal skill everyone can use.
I’m almost positive that this skill will only really be useful in the tower, kinda like the NF skills were only really useful vs Abbadons minions.

Last word regarding the status of LS versus PS, ArenaNet had retconned that Lost Shores happened after Zhaitan’s defeat, and the entire LS from Dragon Bash to Tequatl Rising at least happens in the final sections of the PS between when the pact has formed and started deploying airships and Zhaitan’s fall.
Up until it gets retconned that Scarlet actually invented airships and the Pact reverse-engineered them from captured Aetherblade ships, of course.
Uh, they said when Lost Shores came out that it was taking place post Zhaitans death, and Dragon Bash is ALSO post Zhaitans death seeing as how you’re celebrating how you managed to kill Zhaitan and that all the other dragons aren’t that big of a threat anymore. Tequatl Rising is ALSO post Zhaitan death seeing as how every chapter before it was and it’s a continuation of the living story, not us backtracking in time.
There has been no retconning…. yet…

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think the Krait are in a real “alliance” I feel they’re either being mind controlled by the many mesmers the NC have, or scarlet arranged the alliance and essentially promised the arrival of the Krait profit and that the NC will help them build their tower (which is supposedly needed) and then would be used as sacrificial lambs for it, I just don’t know what else would work , but in sure there’s SOMETHING

Except centaurs are at least known to make alliances, and change strategies every now and again (For example in GW1, when tribe chiefs were talking about ending the war against each other and focusing on humans), while krait are simply (in their own mind) above such petty opportunism, and simply don’t believe other races even HAVE anything they could have use of, regardless of objectivity.
Uh… Centaurs uniting tribes means nothing, Krait kinda united their entire species a long time ago…
And I like how so many of you seem to be glazing over the fact that krait, like centaur, take slaves, and put them to work, those towers aren’t gonna build themselves ya know!! Granted the life expectancy of a centaur Slaves is vastly superior to that of a krait slave in most cases, but totally besides the point

Movement speed is hard capped at 133%. You cannot move faster than 133% currently.
You might want to inform the Elementalists who get a massive 1 second speed buff when switching to Air attunement. Or you could just be wrong.
I am an Elementalist myself and believe me that “massive” speed buff is not that massive as you think. It is only noticeable in combat and while you crippled/chilled. It only lasts for 1 sec and you basically use it to escape on RtL.
I use it for running away and chasing, it’s quite amazing on a staff, and it’s very noticeable even without being crippled or chilled seeing as how you’re at out of combat + swiftness speed and they’re not even close to it, and if you chill them too, you’ll have no issues putting a significant amount of distance between you and them lol

@drax you just said the exact reason why the krait would work with the nightmare court, the nightmare court are essentially the centaurs and the krait the humans, they’ll use them for a while, take their resources, and then butcher them all like animals when the prophet comes (or sooner) because I mean c’mon, they’re krait, they’re CLEARLY the superior race! How could another race even stand a chance against them especially once they’ve handed over their advantages so willingly?

Sol, in PvE and WvW, pets are useless, PERIOD. I don’t care about sPvP because it’s only capture mode, which makes anything not able to capture points and keep them worthless (and where the kills don’t really matter in the long run). I strictly speak about PvE and WvW because those are the modes the majority of the playerbase plays, and because it’s harder for something that’s OP in PvE to be OP in WvW, and vice versa.
Uh…. Kills certainly matter in the long run in sPvP, each kill is 5 points, I’ve lost games where we have had 2-3 points all game because my team was dumb and kept getting butchered like animals.

I’m almost positive that this tower is going to be how she got the NC to allow her to use part of TA… And I’d imagine she somehow convinced these krait (I’m almost every other group of krait will see the krait of Kessex as Heretics) that they’ll be able to bring back their prophet through this alliance, or maybe she convinced the blood witch that she could give her some power and being as greedy as she seems to be, jumped on it and her followers asked no questions.

Why do people keep moaning about how Krait working with others breaks the lore?
Who says they are joining forces by choice? Yes it may not be in their nature to ally with others but if you are being forced, manipulated or under some kind of spell/infection then you have no choice.
The Krait shown in the images are clearly not normal Krait, so they have obviously been corrupted with this Poison/Toxin, or whatever is going on.
Just because Scarlet is behind it, doesn’t mean she went to the Krait and said do you want to team up? and they said yes.
Well they may have said yes, but I’m more than positive it was either 1) a deal way too good to pass up 2) due to them being forced into it by a Mesmer or some other sort of trickery or 3) they had a small armies worth of guns pointed at their heads if they said no.

It doesn’t make sense to still be making these charge quartz, they haven’t made it worthwhile to use. If you’re still using celestial in a zerker gameplay, then you’re hurting yourself and others around you.
I’m sorry, in what world is Zerker the ONLY way to play? If people want to spend a lot of time to use Celestial Gear which is about as far from “Min/Maxing” as possible, and thus a beacon of obviousness that they could care less about speed runs, then by all means let em!
It’s only viable as ele armour, but why though? Zerker eles have the highest dps in the game.
Because some eles, like myself, don’t like dying to a sneeze that occurred from across Tyria… That and i couldn’t give a rats kitten about damage, i’m more of a supporty person myself…
PS: I don’t use Celestial Gear, i use Soldiers for now, will probably change that when i care enough to get a new set of gear, don’t have the time or motive to do so atm.

I still wish they would’ve kept Kudu alive long enough to be what Scarlet is supposed to be…. as much as i love Scarlet he was much more awesome… God rest his tiny little soul…
That being said i’m not seeing anything Scarlety about this patch, if anything i see Faolin, or other Nightmare Court members, being involved in this, i mean they have tons of mesmery magic, which the krait seem to have lost over the 250 years since GW1 (as well as their frills), not to mention it’s called the tower of NIGHTMARE, and that there’s vines and stuff growing off of it which fits with Nightmare Court, and the Krait are using plant weapons and look like they’re glowing like those Husks in TA do…
If scarlet was directly behind this it’d be more steam punk, not to mention Scarlet doesn’t get anything from helping Krait, Nightmare Court do, they just wanna cause pain and agony and torment, what better way to do that than cause every land dweller to drown? They haven’t given a kitten about who they helped in the past, why start now?

Toxin will be a PvE npc skill only. A new condition will not be added to the game. Conditions are already OP.
unless you have proof of this statement it’s as valid as me saying that warriors wont get anymore buffs because they’re already “OP”, and we all know that’s a load of kitten…
A new condi would not be bad, especially if, as a lot of people are thinking, toxin will be a condi version of vulnerability, if this were to exist they could then nerf condi damage so it doesn’t hurt as badly as it does now if toxin isn’t present on the target, but make it hurt more when toxin is present, which would allow condi builds to not be totally garbage in PvE, create synergy between condi builds, and put them into line at the same time in PvP.
That being said, i think condis are fine as is and the new one should be more like how Disease was in GW1, aka it would spread through a group of enemies like wildfire and once it got going it just wouldn’t stop…. ah disease… how i miss you…

Movement speed is hard capped at 133%. You cannot move faster than 133% currently. 50% speed increase only makes sense if you crippled or chilled – only in that case you will actually benefit from this bonus.
This is true, however you failed to mention that 133% speed is equivalent to being outside of combat with swiftness which is where you would be at if you used super speed (both engis and eles have access to it) while in combat, which is obviously noticeable.
This being the case if there IS a 50% movement speed boost on SotW it’d only be noticeable in combat, but it should, and would, be noticeable.

If profesions do get the new Conditon, my guess is that Rangers, Thieves, and Necromancers are most likely to get it. for a few weeks atleast, then everyone cries wolf (ahem…I mean Op) on Rangers, and then only Necromancers and Thieves have it
Don’t forget that they’ll almost certainly give it to warriors in greater abundance and on one of their spammable power attacks, just cause.
I’m still amazed that warriors have access to torment and confusion yet rangers don’t have any torment (apparently a sword in your chest causes torment but a flock of birds eating your face doesn’t) and thieves have no confusion (wind rider venom, I’m still waiting on you)

I understand, but that is the point of a unique reward, to show you were present and put the effort in to attain the achievement.
It would not be a good trophy or achievement if all you have to do was log on for five minutes.
I get on for like 30min -1hr a day and can get em, so It’s really not even an issue, it’s more of a “can you play during those 2 weeks” that’s the issue.

Oh, also, just because something glows green, does not make it Nightmare Court, in fact, do they even glow green? I don’t recall that being a distinguishing feature of the Court…
We already know the Nightmare court is involved cause of the pre-veiws from Guildwars2Hub were they get to preview the stuff look at link ty http://www.guildwars2hub.com/features/editorials/tower-nightmares
Well that’s disappointing….. The Krait should not be working with anyone, and since it STILL hasn’t been explained how Scarlet got the Molten Alliance together in the first place, the story for the Krait and Nightmare Court will probably be as complex as, “they’re working together” and never get any good explanation for their alliance….
Please prove me wrong ANet, don’t destroy YOUR OWN lore!
Nightmare court will make an alliance with anyone willing to allow them to help cause pain and torment, nightmare court have access to a large amount of mesmers, including their leader being a pretty fantastic one.
As mentioned earlier the blood witch may be wanting to ascend, if you think even for a kittening moment that if Faolin came up and said “hey we will help you ascend if you help us torture people!” To the blood witch she would say no? Xenophobic does not mean you’re above making alliances, it just means there’s gotta be a sweet kitten deal for you to do so.

@Ryu, the condi cleanse is AoE, we don’t know if the heal itself is, and IF the heal itself is it’ll likely be minor for allies, like how Healing Spring and Healing Turret.
If it’s like the one heal that’s an absolute monster of an AoE heal (Healing breeze) it’ll have like a minute CD because it’d have the universal tax, AoE heal tax, condi cleanse tax, and AoE condi cleanse tax all in one.

The universal healing skill makes me happy. FINALLY Rangers can have an active condition cure instead of all these passives. Also, I have a feeling Toxin will be across the board, in all forms. I just hope that Toxin isn’t that abundant…like maybe 1 thing that can give it for certain classes (like how Torment is).
Too bad it likely won’t heal our pet thus making it useless….

Not really. Mesmers already have 2 skills like that, Null Field and Power Cleanse, and those aren’t even healing skills. Guardians can also group cleanse with PoV.
You gotta also remember that this is a healing skill, and you can only have one of those. You can’t just pop your main source of healing whenever you feel like it, and you’ll have to give up the benefits of another healing skill to use it (eg Warriors would have to give up their precious OP Healing Signet).
that just proves why its OP
.. its universal, so everyone just pops that and woop… mesmers become even more useless.
Don’t want to sound like a total whine. Just trying to provide feedback stating that the general idea of the skill sounds a bit overpowered and making certain other classes/spells pointless rather then this spell adding something renewing. I hope the release will prove me wrong
First of all, Mesmers aren’t just there to condition cleanse, that’s actually mainly the job of PoV Guardians amongst other things.
And like I was saying before, you don’t just pop your healing skill to get rid of some conditions unless it’s THAT urgent. Also, you’ll have to give up other benefits for it, and I can’t think of any Warrior who would give up Heing Signet for that.
This there so many other options for condi removal its not funny light fields alone can remove kitten tones with out a second thought. The skill dose help some classes lacking a nice way to remove condition’s tough hint hint rangers so it will be gold for them to use and probably expected of them to run this now.
I’ll bet $10 that like all the racial heals it won’t heal your pet and thus will be absolutely useless for a ranger to have.

If you do the first part of the LS content you get four finishers, each giving you 5.
So 4 * 5 = 20 == enough to complete achieve. Don’t know what you did with yours.
This ^ is my issue. I did the LS and got the 4 (each supposedly with 5 uses each). But some how they got used completely up and I’ve only been credited with 10 of 20 uses.
Were you wasting them on the NPCs in the mist like a lot of people have been trying to do?

It gives the home instance a better use and essentially provides a kind of trophy for past accomplishments. Much better than Arena Net’s past tendency to give us excessive amounts of backpacks

Plants again, but now with kraits. I’m thinking that the new ally of kraits is Faolain who escaped from Twilight Arbor…
I was thinking it was going to Faolain and her Mesmer Lackey who we “killed” in TA Storymode (i’m sorry but he’s a mesmer, and a major lore character he has so many tricks up his sleeve to not really be dead it’s ridiculous).
And to people who are gonna say “Oh well Krait wouldn’t make an alliance with Nightmare Court!!” well yeah, they wouldn’t, but mesmers tend to be pretty good at making people do what they want… And idk if you have noticed or not.. but Krait don’t really have any Mesmers on Tyria anymore…

Ya, taym is right. You have to think more critically about what you’re saying. Game design is not simple. There’s a reason the devs are developing and we’re playing.
He actually isn’t… by making them merged you’re actually hurting a lot of trap build options because you NEED to throw it, that just takes too much time in a lot of scenarios and it gives them plenty of time to dodge it with the stupidly obvious “Throw Bundel” animation that we use…
If we had a trait, probably adept so you could take all 3, that made your traps larger and say put the spike trap on rez (just combine them since that one is useless anyway) then you could be a pretty effective trapper by only spending 10 points instead of 20, which allows you to spend those elsewhere. Not to mention for players in sPvP who just drop the traps on points anyway it frees up a master major trait slot…
Personally if they split the traits i’d like to see the 900 range trait also allow you to “Detonate” your trap within, say 5-10s of it being cast (doesn’t affect the CD).
Glad somebody understands, the extra “throw” animation plus “set” animation takes a long time for traps to appear. Splitting up in my opinion and buffing the traits would significantly help build options. Making this optional enhances and quickens ranger builds. If you are willing to put up with the throw bundle animation this you should at least get 900 range.
I think that the detonate trap button would be op on a 900 range trait but adding it to a “traps are larger” could be fair, though they might scale back radius or something. In this case you can just hit your trap button again to detonate the field.
I personally wouldnt want them to move to WS because it competes with too much. Empathetic Bond etc….. Some traps like Frost, don’t even scale off of condition damage. And would be better in a CC condition condi duration build at least WvW wise. Once again though, personal preference.
Eh i just feel 900 range isn’t worth a trait if you ask me, but then again i just don’t really like throwing my traps lol, i use them for what they are, traps, not thrown weapons so that may be why xD.
Personally if they were to move ANYWHERE i’d rather it be into marksman, just swap the trap traits with the signet traits, boom, both are totally useful for the tree they’re in.

I don’t mind it actually, yes it IS somewhat cheap, BUT! It changes the pace and tactics, making it different from all the other maps. And I don’t mind a bit of variety ^-^
And variety means that you cant waddle into sky hammer with 0 stability and 0 knockbacks. Just bring one or the other for then that que pops and you should be good.
No.
it doesn’t reward skill.
It is ALWAYS abused.
Someone doesn’t know how to position themselves very well…

Flesh golem IS more tanky than our pets (other than a 30BM bear that thing is on par with eles greater rock elemental), but it’s a stupid pet, and by that I mean you can’t call him out of the death pits or w/e, he won’t flank the target to avoid cleaves, he can’t swap targets without blowing what is essentially his F2, he can’t be healed by the necro (well I guess he CAN but not how a ranger pet can be), the list goes on.
The ONE THING I do want that the flesh golem does absolutely better than our pet is activate his kittening active quickly, and hit moving targets.

A clear example of the skill level of warriors…guess you’re so “ignorant” about the game that you don’t even know your “profession”
You are my guest to join any 1v1 server with your stunlock warrior and win like a pro.Until that happens(wich is never) it was a nice conversation to say the least.
my profession got one stability utility at 90s CD…where the hell do I take the rest?

Mom didn’t teach you to bring stability?
Looking at your twitch…
“[ siN ] Seven Instincts | Krentar | WvW Warrior/Guardian Baruch EU”
Now looking at the classes that have access to any sort of decent stab…

It seems like your idea of who gets stab and who doesn’t is a bit biased sir.
It’s not my personal stream and i’m not the streamer.
Regardless,it was just an atemptive funny remark at the OP original post"Everyone and their mom gets stunned".
Meh,grow a humour beard it’s halloween
arheundel seems to play ele. so dont know how u think he plays stunwar. for me it seems u should learn to read.
@arheundel
ele has it better than ranger with no stabilityut except elite.
Ele has it A LOT better… they can gain stability in an AoE by swapping to earth attunement, can gain armor of earth twice, arcane shield can serve the same purpose as Stability since it blocks 3 attacks…
Yeah… rangers just suck against the stability spamming stunlock warriors… well at least my build does, shortbow probably is fine with that cripple and evade backwards!

Mesmer Meta incoming, you know, seeing as how they prey on warriors like a falcon does a rabbit lol, then we’ll probably shift to an AoE meta, which will then get countered by a direct damage burst meta, which will get countered by condi meta again…

They’re all pretty strong… Tornado for heavy CC, greatsword for damage, and the the glyph for all sorts of utility, don’t know what you’re talking about…
Tornado to lock you out of all your preservation ability without any sort of defense if anything around you has stability, greatsword to lock you out of your weapon skills for a mediocre increase in damage that’s highly telegraphed and has no cc, and the glyph for really bad AI that doesn’t do significant damage and serves better as a meatshield in PvE.
You have an AoE blind, KD, and launch while in the tornado and your health bar doubles, if you’re using your Tornado for 1337 damagez or when the entire team just popped AoE stability i’m sorry you’re using your elite like an idiot and thus getting poor results.
Fiery Greatsword has some really hard hitting skills, not to mention a teammate also gets one, and if that teammate is a ranger, congrats you just created the most borken thing ever because his scales now scale like everyone elses instead of the kittenty scaling with power they have due to “pet taxes”. And if you didn’t know… there’s nothing to stop you from dropping your sword so you can use your weapon skills… i mean kitten if you’re in a 1v1 you still got that other sword laying on the ground that you can pick up when it’s safe to do so…
Bad AI, yeah, they are pretty stupid, but one thing they do is spam their AoE buffs, so fire gives you might, earth gives prot, water gives healing, and storm swiftness, not to mention it gives you a meat shield to hide behind if you’re fighting a ranged enemy…
FGS good for the teammates bad for the elementalist. The elementalist losses a lot of their utility for 5 skills that are on a 60 second timer and only 15 charges. Most of the benefits of FGS is in PvE where you can bug it out.
Tornador turns you into a giant target with no defenses.
Pets are decent, but they are not great. they don’t do that much when you compare to other classes, since the earth and water are too slow, the air and fire are decent since they are highly telegraphed.
I don’t know what you guys are talking about with no defenses, if i’m in a team fight and use my Tornado it’s strong enough to turn the tides with that pulsing blind and launch, not to mention the health boost, are you guys using no vit armor or something?
Also, popping an aura as you are activating Tornado is very effective since it persists in the tornado, so you can use that for some help to survivability.

Personally i love the fear, i just wish it were more reliable… what i’d give for an AoE fear on my elite activation, or fear your target when you cast your heal (on a ~90-100s CD), or hell make it more like the Runes of the Grove, and make it so if the effect is up you’re almost guaranteed the effect at the start of the fight…. oh that’d be a nice set of runes right there =D!
