Traps in the Crit line?

This has been asked more than “why don’t we have perma stow”… And the answer is…. I have no kittening clue, I still think that traps belong in marksmanship and the signet traits belong in skirmishing…

The Quality of Scarlet's character?

Or maybe the Pale Tree knew what she was doing was dangerous, but not what the effect of what she saw would cause. I mean we all know the Pale Tree can’t see the exact future…

This too, she may have figured it wouldn’t have been as severe as it is turning out to be or a variety of other reasons.

The only thing is, the Pale Tree would know… Unless she became Soundless…

Maybe she has? The machine she was in couldve screwed that whole thing over, maybe she cut her tie when she was trying to strangle the tree or w/e. And even if she didn’t, why would the pale tree speak up? Maybe what scarlet is doing is actually completing her Wild Hunt and her trying to escape destiny is just fulfilling hers? Pale tree speaking up may screw that up shrugs.

Not the right Scarlet

in Lore

I have a feeling Scarlets plot isn’t going to be the only thing with focus, just look at events like Southsun and Zephyr Sanctum, both weren’t focused on Scarlets deal. I have a feeling Scarlet is a pawn in the white mantles game tbh, I know one of my friends was saying that he’s hoping her going insane was due to Mursaat (who knows). It’s be interesting, it’d also explain why she’s targeting Kryta and Ebonhawke…

The Quality of Scarlet's character?

Except that it’s more than just the three collages she’s famous for.

She studied from the most famous Blacksmith – who holds both direct and indirect multitude of ties to the personal story. She studied under a gladium who also, iirc, has ties to the personal story. And the Pale Tree herself viewed Scarlet as a threat it seems.

But yet… she’s only now being revealed to the open world? When she is being made to have been a super-genius and threat for a while now?

It’s one thing to have “a new villain” and another to have “an ‘old’ villain who’s now being introduced” – at least with Abaddon, all knowledge of him was supposedly wiped out.

Maybe she was believed to be dead after the experiment? I mean she did change her name she may have just dropped off the map for a while as she tried to build up the MA and Aetherblades.

I mean c’mon, a test subject dying horribly in an experiment and the experiments overseer dying as well in a horrific way isn’t entirerly out of the question when it comes to Asura experiments.

Make stability training an adept skill

Durzlla.6295

They need to just make these kittening traits for ALL families instead of just a handful IE: Rending Training makes all your pets have a 50% chance to bleed each hit, so we can actually get some variety in here, that and it’d make some pets (like ursine and porcine and moas) useful if they actually get access to these. I mean seriously, an AoE cripple on a moas fury buff would be INCREDIBLE

"Conclusion"

in Living World

Posted by: Durzlla.6295

Durzlla.6295

They are really dragging this all out aren’t they. I’d honestly like to see some sort of conclusion to this major year-long arc soon so that we can freakin move on already.

Why does an arc need to be so short? Things are just starting to get interesting, especially since the first 4 months were F&F and picked up at a snails pace…

Because many of us don’t even remember the first 6 months of the story.

Let’s see….
I remember some angry mole people.
Then we had a bunch of crabs and some island thing.
After that it was some generic pirates.
Then it was (flying?) merchants.
Then something about politics.
Then the Queen threw a party and some robots attacked for some unknown reason.

I barely remember any NPCs or dialogue or anything from any of those events. What mostly springs to mind were the bugs…such as the Cattlepult and items that could not be clicked or were missing from the gameworld altogether.

Do I remember any of the plot? Not a thing. When you drag these ‘chapters’ out for too long, people lose interest in the story.

You may wanna go see a doctor for that memory loss, i remember everything just fine and am interested to see how this plays out.

That being said i do think they should have something (probably a priory scholar) that’d give players a Recap on what’s happened, or better yet, a way to play through the previous events in some way shape or form.

Useless utility skills

in Ranger

Posted by: Durzlla.6295

Durzlla.6295

However, it should be made to work with defeated players again. An 85 second recharge time, on a skill that only works on downed players, is a bit underpowered.

I suspect making it only work on downed players was their quick and dirty way of “fixing” it so the pet wouldn’t waste the skill reviving an NPC.

That’s cute, you think the pet doesn’t still revive NPCs…

And in all fairness if search and rescue worked like the other prof skills where, you know, it actually kittening rezzed people faster than a player, S&wouldn’t be so bad, at least make them rez as fast, if not faster than, a normal player to make it a better rez skill.

PS: Toss Elixir R, Illusion of Life, Glyph of Renewal, Sig of Undeath, and Sig of Mercy ALL have longer CDs than S&R (in PvE) and all accomplish roughly the same effect.

Are Charr the most technologically advanced?

in Charr

Posted by: Durzlla.6295

Durzlla.6295

The best way I’ve seen it out is Asura tech is like gnomish tech, it’s normally very useful for one specific situation and can’t do much else, and as such isn’t really produced a lot, where charr tech is like goblin tech, it’s useful in a large amount of situations and can be mass produced (for profit or in this case warfare) with ease.

Pet leash range bug

in Ranger

Posted by: Durzlla.6295

Durzlla.6295

You can tell the leash range to go kitten itself by using Guard or Sick’Em, both of which have their own range (Guards I believe is 3k after the pet is placed/told where to stand).

That being said my pet will run in to eat people before I can actually shoot them… So I’d say it’s at least 1800

We want F2 equality!

in Ranger

Posted by: Durzlla.6295

Durzlla.6295

@Bredin so I’m lucky because I’ve never notice to mine pet not execute their F2 (using jaguar and wolf right now) only cases were when pet got nuked so he died before ended casting.

and actually.. when properly played we are as good as thief (not sure about mesmer, but with thiefs I actually don’t have any problem in 1v1 fights)

example with sword auto was an counter argument to Fjandi’s “pressing a key is hard thing” actually just pressing isn’t hard but pressing it in good moment.. that can be and both with 1hsword auto-atack and our F2

may I ask did You tried in previous fight to use f2 on your pet? it worked? got interrupted? didn’t launch at all?

maybe I didn’t have an issues because I’m using specific pets (stalk from jaguar actually don’t have casting time, so I can always see how she “vanishes” “in the run” going toward enemy for know as secondary I have a wolf and fear on howl works for me pretty well lastly I used reef drake (and didn’t noticed issues with his breath-f2) and when jump to the whole beginning I was using devourers of two types – and their F2 was “big cast and then something-like-rapid-fire-with bleeding” and “poison volley-just-on-pet-not-on-bow” and didn’t noticed any more problem that target sometimes got kille by me bafore pet actually loaded his F2…

actually what pet are You using? wolf and…

Sounds like you’re using your attacks from a passive state so the pet is never in the middle of an attack animation or something. This would explain why you never notice the F2 function not work.

Whelp there’s your problem!! If you want F2s to work you need to not use the pet! Wait what?

Agreed. The order choice (along with pretty much all the personal story choices but especially this one) needs to have MOAR IMPACT

Anet. The personal story was a good idea, poorly executed. But I still have faith in you.

I would say it was good execution, but horrible follow up, your story doesn’t affect too much, which sucks since it really should touch more outside of the story itself…

Just so you know, during F&F, there were Vigil Tacticians collecting audio logs and finding those Molten Facilities and you helped Whispers agent to gather intel on Molten Aliance. Not much, but yeah, they were there. As for the dragons…man, I hope that as soon as we deal with Scarlet (and I hope it will be sooner rather than later…the plot is spreading over almost a year now with little to no conclusion) we will get some dragons or at least something that ties into existing lore rather than coming up with new one each update.
Also…could we fight something that is not steampunk or robots? I mean…Please?

Priory were also in F&F, and Southsun, and the Zephyrites, they are behind the scenes though doing A TON of research and uncovering every bit of info they can. There’s a priory golem that’ll give you just about all there is to know on the event and whose involved and why (if available to the priory), I’ve yet to check the robot for the queens speech though…

muddy terrain not hitting 5 people is a pretty kitten big deal. the point is their attitude toward the profession. it’s not just one skill that’s terribly bugged, it’s a whole slew. we’ve been fed scraps since launch.

Haven’t read this yet, but I figured anyone who would post here likely cares a great deal about the lore so I figured I’d inform you of it.

I care a great deal about the lore but if it isn’t in-game, I’m not reading it. I’m don’t support this kitten poor extra-game storytelling.

I agree with you aside from the I’m not going to read it part. This story while-very interesting-is not a suitable replacement for in game lore. There is no suitable replacement for in game lore. But it makes me wonder, why the hell didn’t ANET put that part into to the LS update?

I gotta say i was more upset that they had NOTHING from this blog post in game then anything else, i personally LOVE this patch (minus the Zergvasions, they’re cool but i hate zerging), Scarlet is easily one of my favorite characters, and the mystery of her is a good portion why!

I’m hoping something similar to how the Mad King Thorn’s scavenger hunt loreapalooza will be added for Scarlet, i’d LOVE to stumble across that Asura strung up like a thorny pinata(sp?)!

PS: Super Adventure Box may be the greatest thing ever added to GW2 in my opinion.

What others think of the Ranger class...

Posted by: Durzlla.6295

Durzlla.6295

I don’t buy into that logic, cufu, mainly because Anets stated design goals are for every profession to be viable everywhere. Also, teamwork is rarely utilized. Imagine a bunch of zerk/longbow/eagle eye rangers always porting out of enemy range with mesmers. Imagine flanking with shadow refuge and dropping traps to bust their foolish pin sticking.

It’s not all stack on commander and spam AoE. Think outside the box.

Except that’s how you win T1 fights with the smallest margin of error.

Sorry, but you aren’t better at tactics than the collective commanders of 3 servers. If “trap bombing” worked better you can bet your kitten they would be doing it just like how confusion spam was the fotm when wvw culling was in effect and how everyone necro mark spams now. They don’t use traps simply because it isn’t better.

Actually, trap bombing (if you have a group of rangers doing it) is capable of easily wiping a Zerg, the catch? The only way it works is if you hit them with double traps IE: you gank them at a well trapped choke point and then pour the traps on again.

I’ve done this twice with a group of rangers on TC while we were against SoR and BG. That being said it NEEDS to be a group of rangers (we had ~20 each time), and it NEEDS to be a double trap not just throw them at will traps.

Pet F2 not responsive?

Never hit the button more than once, the pet cancels itself.

That’s a bug too. If the skill is canceled, it shouldn’t go on cooldown.

This is not a bug, almost all skills go on ~2s CD if they’re canceled/interrupted.

Except it goes on full CD when cancelled.

My mesmers F2 will not be wasted either, infact if I don’t have a target, and thus no illusions, me hitting any F skill puts it on a short 2s CD, you know, the same thing that happens if I get a tad over zealous with pressing the F2 skill on my ranger and happen to hit it twice in a row.

I always get the full duration cooldown. Except for interrupts, I’ve never seen the F2 skill go on anything like a 2 sec CD. (Speaking of which, my mesmer gets a 4 sec CD.)

I tried testing hitting F2 twice real quick, and it doesn’t cancel the skill. There’s something else going on which is causing the cancels with full cooldown.

Ah, 4s is probably right the skill timers don’t show up on my F skills for some reason =(.

And hit F2 as your pets casting, it’ll stop, however this is “working as intended”.

Many F2 abilities have a range.

When your pet has a target, it will not “waste” the F2 if it won’t hit due to being out of range.

I’d say rangers are the worst ZvZ profession, but that doesn’t mean we’re terrible at it, hell SOMEONE has to be the worst, this is hardly a perfect game where everything is 100% balanced.

Traps, tanky DPS pets (bears hitting like a cat always makes me smile =D), Sig builds, zerker bow builds etc ALL do well in ZvZ, do they provide a lot of support for the Zerg? No, but they can certainly cause the enemies Zerg a number of issues.

As I was telling my friends, if PvE (and thus WvW) behaved like PvP where gear is obtainable for no effort and thus you can swap stuff freely without a care in the world the meta there would be changing CONSTANTLY, however it isn’t, and thus it moves at a snails pace because no one wants to experiment because they’ll be risking a lot of time and gold to do so.

Anet, give us gear like in PvP (IE unlock it so we can just pull it out and throw it away as needed).

Possible Longbow Rangers combinations.

I like a 30/20/20/0/0 or 30/25/15/0/0 zerker GS/LB with signets of hunt, stone, and either of the other two.

A 30/x/30/x/x build sounds like a good idea also, IF you can get enough precision. Which I can’t really do in spvp. Not sure how much you can get, but the crit damage can’t be that high.

You don’t need precision unless you really have crit damage or something procing from crits, but you could always take Rampagers amulet which gives power, precision (high) and condi damage.

Portrayal of Males in Living Story

Posted by: Durzlla.6295

Durzlla.6295

While I have no issues at all wth the presentation of the female characters in the game, I do agree that often male characters are not all that well done by. I know there’s some pushback in saying “Well, female characters finally get some respect so deal with it” but that’s not really that great of a response. Well written, well presented characters shouldn’t be confined to either gender. The ideal goal should be having both genders respresented well with neither coming at the expense of the other.

I can agree with this.

Usefulness of Traited Signets in PVE

in Ranger

Posted by: Durzlla.6295

Durzlla.6295

Is it worthwhile to trait signets? Most signet activess seem pretty poor. Here’s my reasoning:

Signet of Renewal – Doesn’t actually do anything extra when you trait it.

Signet of the Wild – You gain 25% damage for 8 seconds, but it takes 1 second to activate. The result? 10 seconds worth of damage over 9 seconds. Using it with QZ improves the damage by a fair amount since both are multiplicative damage boosts. The stability is useful, but you lose the ability to interact with anything.

Signet of the Hunt – Greatsword gets some benefit because of maul. Most other weapons do damage with multiple hits, but this signet only effects the one hit.

Signet of Stone – This one is pretty good. 6 seconds of invulnerability never hurt anybody.

So signet of stone is good, signet of the hunt benefits greatsword more than other weapons (half a maul every 30 seconds), and signet of the wild adds damage, but less than you’d think because of the activation time. So, is this worth a grandmaster trait?

Why would sig of wild increase your damage any less due to the cast? And sig of renewal DOES do something, it pulls all condis to you right before the pet pulls them IE: 2 areas of condi pull instead of one.

Traited Signet of the Wild

in Ranger

Posted by: Durzlla.6295

Durzlla.6295

Yet traited Signet of Renewal seems to work just fine….to the Rangers detriment.

No, traited sig of renewal has the ranger pull the condis FIRST so if you’re within range of your pet the condis will still end up on your pet.

What if the conditions are on you to begin with? I have tried to track it during a fight but it is difficult at times. Last couple of times the conditions didn’t leave me like they do when Renewal is not traited.

The way it works is that you pull all condis to you, and the. Your pet almost immediately pulls all condis to them, so as long as you’re within the range required you should be fine. However if you’re NOT in range of your pet… You could potentially kitten yourself.

I was bummed that they didn’t fight stuff at first, but then I noticed EVERY mob type is aggressive vs them, like I know that they actually stopped a Svanir invasion (it was hilarious to watch), not to mention the Molten Alliance mobs will actually help out their fellow dredge and flame legion, in Dredge Haunt the dredge were seizing all the bases and there were Molten Alliance helping out.

That being said I’d rather see the mobs spawned actively search put and destroy towns and the such, it’d be far more interesting.

LS and WvWers(again)

If this happens, I would sooo dust off my Thief and just plop myself in between the event and the spawn and just enjoy the loot bags ^.^ Then come on the forums and savor the QQ-filled tears of people who came into WvW for PvE and got murdered >:D

On a serious note though… If Living Story were to be implemented, I would want it to be so that you could only access it through controlling another server’s keep, whatever this content may be. No PvE crap that’d detract from the spirit of WvW. Maybe a jumping puzzle or something… Really, options for putting LS in WvW are very, very limited without ruining both the story and WvW, to the point that it’s not even worth it.

Not to mention WvW players use the same gear as they do in PvE so it’s not all that difficult to just go play the story…. PvPers get the shaft on this…. Again…

Time to change armor?

in Living World

So far it looks like zerker stats are the only thing ANet will make content for, seen mostly with the Queens Gauntlet, tagging mobs during Invasion events, and the Raced to the Rescue achievement.

Should I just throw away all of my current gear and rebuild as a pure zerker for all of my characters? Or do you think Anet will actually make more temporary content that uses a different stat?

Me and my friends did race to the rescue with me in clerics armor, our engi was in a knights/soldiers mix, our 2 thieves were both in knights/valk gear, and our other engi was in full invaders(soldiers) we had NO issue getting to it, so stop your zerker is necessary nonsense.

Ontop of that the gauntlet fight ONLY needs zerker if you’re a ranger on Liadri because she guts 40% of your DPS due to poor balancing. Everyone else is fine (I know several guardians who went at her with clerics gear and warriors and eles who went at her with soldiers).

That being said, I hate zerker gear and if I’m ever forced into using it I’m going to raise hell.

Traited Signet of the Wild

in Ranger

Question: When you trait Signet of the Wild to give both you and your pet stability and increased damage, you can not stomp somebody. Is this intentional, or a bug?

Note: If intentional…. that’s terrible.

I think it’s a relic of when any and all transforms (this was considered one), however several transforms no longer have this restriction IE: Rampage.

We want F2 equality!

Have you played a thief? We don’t even have F2.

Yep, having a gap closer that steals another player’s F2 sure is a terrible thing.

Doesn’t steal another players F2, i could only dream of having the same F2 on my mesmer or engi or ranger that a thief gains when they steal them..

Scarlet is fantastic! [Merged]

in Clockwork Chaos

I’m really curious about her motives though. Assuming she isn’t evil for the sake of being evil.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

Ugh, you aren’t SERIOUSLY comparing her character to the Joker? that’s like comparing a Risen to Galactus.

What’s different between Scarlet and Dark Knight Joker?

Aside from one being a tree and the other being a person?

The Dark Knight Joker was incredibly more effective and efficient with his tools than Scarlet has been thus far. I don’t know, though, she could have a high amount of resources to push that many portals active for the invasion efforts but it seems more than a little wasteful.

Part of me is thinking (or hoping, perhaps) she has something else she’s doing with this opportunity she has taken now.

Well seeing as how the majority of her army are corrupted Watch Knights, which used her enemies resources not her own, she probably doesn’t care if its “wasteful” she’s probably just trying to cause as much chaos as possible before someone stops her from using her enemies new soldiers as hers.

Not to mention we don’t even know her motive (if she even has one), or what other alliances she has made that are like the Aetherblade and the Molten Alliance, as one of my friends said the nightmare court are probably taking notes on how evil and heartless she is, so she may even have an alliance with some of them we haven’t seen yet.

Irony is funny...

That’s not how Conspiracy Keanu is supposed to be used .-.
Maybe Bad Luck Brian would do the trick.

But yeah, it is ironic. But that’s why I like Scarlet, actually.
I mean, she shows up as a super genius, and she is tricked by a mesmer clone. Not only that, but the way she is defeated inside the playhouse… I mean, I thought she was smarter than that. It is a good thing IMO, it proves that she is not such a mary sue like I was expecting her to be since she can’t live up to her reputation.

Well as the Asura even says, he’s pretty sure that she was given SIGNIFICANTLY more credit than she deserved. I -like- that she’s really smart for a sylvari, yet still not a super genius, it’s good for villains(hell every character) to have flaws.

Crit/Survive - Is there hope?

in Ranger

Posted by: Durzlla.6295

Durzlla.6295

I’m not sure what you’re trying to accomplish with this build because you’re certainly not going to have too much survivability and your ability to contest a point may suffer due to you forgoing all Melee abilities and being reliant on kiting.

However, one thing your build WILL do well against is necros, you have a blind, an immob to keep them back, 2 interrupts on yourself, a lot of vitality to mitigate their condi spams, etc.

So your build may have -some- flaws, but due to the condi heavy meta you’ll probably be well off. I would change your runes up though, maybe give yourself some more defensive runes (maybe finish out Dolyak set), or something like The Grove to give you an immob and better protection uptime.

Just my 2 cents!!

PS: watch your raven, it will blow up fairly easily in fights.

Possible Longbow Rangers combinations.

in Ranger

Posted by: Durzlla.6295

I have been away from the game for several months and am touching on the possibility of a Longbow Ranger again. Last time I did, it wasn’t a viable set up.

I am looking to try Power and Crit based builds.

Spirit: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQJATRjEVV1NVeVg2Bgli9CkpQRGdPKl0TrQJSA-jEyAYrARQAoCQJviox2GKiGruGT5SEVbwLiWtQAjGDA-w

Wilderness: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQJATRjEVV2BWKWo2Bgli9CszgTL5MUkRA-jUxAYrAl8KiGbboIas6aMlLRUNA-w

Full zerker’s gear, I might mix some Cavalier’s gear in. I intend to carry two LBs one with Sigil of Bloodlust the other perhaps a damage or crit chance boost.

Signets have been working AMAZINGLY well for my LB build, been running LB + Sword/Dagger (in pvp) with sigs, build is 30/20/0/0/20, it’s been giving me some really good success, and i’m enjoying it greatly, takes out spirit rangers pretty well too which is always a plus!

I’m interested in seeing your build. Do you mind posting it?

Here it is, i’m a roamer/point assaulter, i’ve tried it out with Knights and Zerker gear and i just felt like those didn’t do enough damage to warrant how paper thin i became, and the Mercy runes are used because i’ve found that rezzing your allies at 50% health instead of like 30%, as well as skyrocketing my armor while rezzing and the speed increase can turn the tides of a group fight VERY easily.

Ranger Changes on August 20, 2013

in Ranger

Posted by: Durzlla.6295

Durzlla.6295

Changes, what changes?

On a serious note other than the living story having almost 0 story involved is a good patch. Maybe I am the only one who cares, but skill facts need a lot of polish and I’m really happy with that.

I thought the story was good and fun, but then again i don’t seem to be nearly as picky as half the people on these forums are…

On topic! Yeah, we didn’t really get any changes… it’s nice to have the radius stuff though on the spirits, that’s nice, i’m hoping there’s going to be some big changes when the patch hits after the tourny though!! AKA September 3rd. Said patch will determine whether or not i make another ranger character or if my new character is a mesmer/engi xD
