Why does it need to be tested? Isn’t the damage coefficients programed into the game of each skill?? It doesn’t change unless the devs change it them selfs. And if the official website that states skills having a hidden/invisible damage to it just seems like the entire damage system is broken and illequpt for real competitive play. You can’t have a legitimate fight if the log and everyone sees that it say 2k damage but in reality it’s 2.5k, that just doesnt make a competitive fair understanding of combat.
i recently went to gw2 wiki and looked up sigil of air. In the notes at the bottom it says it has a 1.1 damage coefficient, but only displays .88 damage coefficient in the chat tooltip. So in my eyes its essentially doing invisible damage to the enemy.
My question is how many other skills, sigils, any kind of damage even condi damage have misinformed information given to the player that does invisible/uncalculated damage.
What im thinking is a thf goes and does a back stab for 10k but in reality because the display is wrong its actually 13k thats a biig difference when im running ele and only have 14k hp wvw roaming. Or how often condis tick, maybe the tooltip doesnt show what the actually condi ticks are ticking you for or how often.
if this is stupid or doesnt really make sense ill delete it.
I don’t know if this is possible but if its stupid I’ll delete the post.
Why not have one world where there is no wvw, there should be enough room on each server for the people stuck on the wvwerless sever to transfer if they want to wvw. This is just a thought that crossed my mind.
Current worlds:
• World 1: 95%
• World 2: 82%
• World 3: 81%
• World 4: 60%
• World 5: 30%
• World 6: 10%
Linked worlds:
World 1: 95%
World 2&6: 92%
World 4&5: 90%
entertaining video, but i don’t see you fighting a single condi user. Your build looks great against other power classes, but against a condi mes or a corruption necro i don’t think it’ll work out to well.
what i enjoy most are 1v1s and small fights up to 3v3s. for ele this is impossible to do effectively. Having 11.7k base hp and 1.8k base armor just makes fighting another class unfair and imbalanced. im done with this game for a while till the developers learn how to balance or at least understand the weaknesses in classes and brings them up to par with the rest of the other classes just to have a fair fight.
example is war running full maurader gear gets like 25kish hp up from 18k base.
ele with the same gear gets 16kish up from 11.7k.
same gear way different ratios and starting points in a fight…..if you think of it like this like mortal kombat would you or youre opponent ever start with a handicap of 30%-50% less hp no i dont think so.
this is my build its vanilla, but uses some HOT gear and food, running s/d Arcana/air/water. if i could get away from water i would but cleansing is to important with the condi mesmers and thfs everywhere. I mostly just roam my self or in a small 2-4 man group. I find this build to be strong against alot of classes hi risk hi reward. with protection the food and frost aura im looking at 54% damage reduction, then i got the healing skill and regen application to clear my condis. i Use signet of air pretty much just for the stun brake 25 sec stun brake saves my life everytime i use it if it wasnt for that i wouldnt be able to do much of anything. specially with war 20 sec head but
with all the condi spam i feel if you clear a particular condi you should be immune to that condi for like 1-2 secs just so it cant be immediately put back on you like nothing happened. it gives you a chance to dodge the next condi attack without needing to spam threw youre dodges.
No earth shield for a PvP condition elementalist? Get out!
this isnt a pvp forum were talking about wvw roaming 1v1s, also i get 7.5 secs of protection from just switching to earth trait with my boon duration when sigil of concentration procs so running earth just for the protection wouldnt be as beneficial as water trait with clearing condis with regen.
and to Kyon.9735 water trait line does not increase vit i dont know where you got that from if im wrong please let me know.
Nearly any class running condi vit toughness is viable…make magic happen and show me power precision ferocity running 11.5k hp…..
On a side note who thought of giving a class 11.5k hp fair in any kind of fight? To make zerker viable in any way they need to raise the base hp of ele to at least 15k to start with.
i dont want to encourage this kind of behavior at all, i told him if he dont pay up im a post his name here lolz………i prolly wont do that though. im not a mean person.
got another message before the start of a game. Its really upsetting to think that some people might go for it and ruin the game for, 4 other people. I understand there frustrations but thats just how the cookie crumbles so to say, and you have have to deal with the loss, or idk not play gw? Dont attempt to ruin 4 others peoples games unless you pay out the entire team, and even after that its a terrible dishonorable way to gw.
Pvp, 1v1 10 skills fast pace combat. No game is more exciting when you know youre class and all of there skills and out play, out dodge, and out minuvure youre opponent.
my 2 cents…..i did not buy HOT solely for the legendary weapons but it did help sway my decision to pay the outrageous price of $99 , and the fact it is not going to happen is an out right miss advertisement and i feel that they lied to me about it and kinda feels like they stole some of my money. I can tell you right now i will not buy any more gw expansions. you cant advertise about end game content then withdraw after the purchase has happened. Lets say you buy a waffle iron and the manufacture says youll get a life time of waffle mix stuff, but then they ran out in the 1st month, and decided to not offer it anymore. well that waffle iron is now a paper weight if you got no mixin stuff. a silly analogy but w/e.
team of necros thats the problem….geeez doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure it out….lol….everyone was solo q, i dont know how the great matchmaking system works, but im sure this is an embarrassing fail. i only play 2 maybe 3 games a night if i play at all, and haveing this happen, makes me play even less. in all of my gaming history i have never gotten angry/frustrated with a video game….might be time to move on to something new.
this shouldn’t happen, and if it does that game shouldn’t count as a pip lose. its unfair stacked game play. very frustrating. no was in a team all solo q.
On a side note I would like to know how much it cost to rebuild lions arch after it was destroyed. Workers, materials, engineering ect…i could see the black lion putting up some of the bill….lol
Emotes…more of them….p p please? lolz.
if i remember correctly there were a TON of emotes in gw1. like /roll /guitar /drum /flute /excited list goes on at least 50 of them. Originally when gw2 came out i was expecting even more emotes like so many i wouldnt even need type in chat at all, but were still stuck with the same 19. there are some emote words that dont display an error message but also dont do an action. Just my 2 cents for the day. Good luck and have fun.
whenever a Revenant does a certain move the one with the giant blue wings my computer drops massive frames, goes down to 5 at the most it makes combat against a rev impossible, i play on 2 different computers and this problem happens on both. anyone else experience this.
other then id love to see a dev comment on this idea whether its a yay or nay. All they need to do is give at least 1 word answers for us to see that they even read our ideas.
Our ideas should be taken as support for the game. so how about alittle support from the devs about how great or bad people idea are (at least a yay or nay). i dont need an explanation on every good or bad idea on why or why not it can/cant be programed into the game, just recondition that they see it and understand what there paying customers think about the current system.
this system is stale and it seems what ever direction the devs think is a good idea in terms of balance in the end it isnt, they dont have a clue. it doesnt seem like they test any of there ideas before hand then only balance it once every 3 months is not acceptable. in the end i dont know if any decision they made about balance has been a good thing…..time for something new. black desert online….mm release in 2 days mm……
With 3+ enemys The constant application of condi makes it almost impossible to do anyrhing else other then focus on healing and cleansing if there was some way to have have immunity after you cleans a kitten ton of condi it willl just make combat more immersive for all parties
It doesnt work like that youre not always going to be placed with a team build the way your talking about. So to have some kind of method of slowing down the all the condi spam seems like a good idea to me.im not saying stop, or remove condi all together im juat suggestion a method of slowing down the application of constant condition of 3+ emeny players.
for the amount of condis flying around clearing them is impossible. i clear 8-10 condition. Within 5 secs they all come back b/c every team have 3+ condi users. with this many condis it makes combat almost impossible to coordinate. there needs to be a grace period when you clear a certain amount of condis, clear 5+ condis and gain resistace for 3 secs at least idk something so you dont get stuck in the same situation and same problem CONDITIONS. idk guys condi is just a skilless playstyle and its so rewarding with constant condi application with no risk.
any one elses thoughts.?
I have idk 5 differnt looks at least i like to wear at anygiven time on my war alone. I got 3 tunes i play the most each with there own look (sylvari with plant ofcourse is one of them). Most of it is the same stat and rune set. You can come up with some great things my most recent is the flash on my ele really fun running with superspeed.
for me it is about fun, im a pvper i love the competition this game has, but being forced to play the same builds, same play styles, same conquest game modes when all i really want to do is kill, kill more, is really frustrating. Having separate ques will alleviate a lot of the issues this game has with hot/vanilla. since hots release.
i would like to see different que modes, 3 at least. What i mean by this is One que will be Pre HOT builds only no specialization, Second would be Hot only, and the Third would be a mix of both, what we have now. I know this will probably increase que times but thats ok with me. I do not want to fight rev, dh, reapers, scrapper, ect. i want to play vanilla against other vanilla players, not this trap bs(dh), damage to heal(rev) bs, sustainy bs(tempest, druid,), condi chill(reaper)bs, that it is now.
i would like to know the thought processes of the devs in making a class like the revenant. none of it seemed to be over the top compared to some classes? to me it does. right from the moment they showed it all. to make a class in a game i would assume would require alot of thougt and comparison. but what it seemed what ended up was they said what would be the best mele class attributes and put the into one class, come on an attack evade that can do 5k+ damage and the attacks last longer then 1 dodge roll. wheres the risk reward, wheres the thrill of accomplishing something dramatic in a fight. No its all gone and the way the devs seem to just buff everything with out thinking what will be left behind just shows there lack of understanding in there own title.
In time, is there going to be a way Cantha and or Elona will be implemented into gw2 story, lore, or playable areas??
a simple YES or NO will suffice. i dont care if its not a playable area, as much as i do with it being apart of gw2 in general. We cant forget about the past cause it defines the future.
i usually play ele and war, with ele i sometimes run the fire trait and have cleaning fire traited and in the utility, when you clear 6 condition and then immediately get those same 6 condis back on you it all seems pointless to have condi clear in the end. So by having something like how armor is to physical damage, it may help with the constant application of condis in the long run.
thanks for all the replys, i feel there should be a stat just for condi damage mitigation just like there is for physical damage. to me it just makes sense
if you have read the entire sentence or two i posted it says runes and food dont apply to this question. they have a stat the mitigates physical damage, why not have one that mitigates condi as well. it makes seance to me. if it doesnt please explain.
you have resistance to physical damage by armor, why isnt there a stat for resistance against condition damage, and condition duration decrease runes or food does not count for me anyway.

Im a pvper/wvw its pritty much all i did in gw2.I used to be on everyday 2 hours at least. 2 weeks after HOT i relized the fun was gone and havent been on since. The removal of cele makes me think there will be more job spacific classes and build veriety. Inmy eyes its about god danm time! Looking foward to the new changes.
Ps. Gota say that ESL has ruined pvp because of the inability to balance till its over.
there is a esl 2v2 going on right now. Im way more intrested in this then then the 5v5. I want to watch it but unable to find a twitch stream. Is there one for the 2v2?
