Guild Wars 2

Many agree engi needs a sniper kit to replace their shotgun(aka rifle). I had planned on rolling engi as main from day one, but after playing with the rifle in beta weekends, I was let down as it acted more like a shotgun and took away the long ranged option I had dreamed of. Here are the skills the sniper kit should have:

1. Slow reload, fast projectile auto attack that does moderate direct damage. Can crit for 2k or more depending on the reload time in which the designer may give it.
Range: 1500

2. A leg-shot that cripples enemy’s for 3-4 seconds.
Range: 1500
Cooldown: 15 seconds

3. A shot that pierces armor, inflicting 10 stacks of vulnerability for 10 seconds.
Range: 1500
Cooldown: 15 seconds

4. A rapid fire shot dealing channeled damage, hitting 4-6 times over 3 seconds.
Range: 1500
Cooldown 20 seconds

5. Point blank, a shot that knocks the enemy back, the closer the target, the longer the knockback.
Range: 900
Cooldown: 20 seconds

Toolbelt skill: Sniper shot
A 3 second cast heavy damage shot dealing more damage if target is under a certain tier of health(75%, 50%, 25%)
Range: 2000-3000

Signed.

Norn female because of the awesome tattoos and because the male norms are rediculously big. If you make a female nord and check out the cultural armor for them the tier 3 set on a lady looks utterly amazing! I also like the female armor models because they show more skin thus revealing more of the body tattoo.

Not to mention the norn are natural hunters, favour animals as gods and have beastmode elites and other animal type race abilities for added flavour.

The whole Arahs set is completely badkitten for necro coupled with a skull or gargoyle staff(not sure if you can get these outside of spvp). The is also a perfect mid lvl set, the one with the skull for a mask and bone shoulders

@toolate it’s possible necros have the highest base hp, I’m running full glass cannon(58 crit, 50 crit damage 2100 power+) and still maintain 22k hp.

I’m absolutely in love with my well build and I’ve decided to call it a necro bomb. I’m pure power/crit/crit damage with blood is power to skyrocket my dps. I always cackle out loud when I mealt 5 enemys stacked foolishly on a objective within a matter of seconds, literally to death.

What race are you? Human t2-3 heavy armor cultural looks completely amazing for guardian, I’m currently rocking the t2 and can’t keep my eyes off it

It’s not on the priority list because we’re bad and not using the weapon as intended, which is on afk targets or in melee range.

Lol smite tickles for 400 crits, that’s if your lucky the fists hit the intended target.

It’s awefully annoying standing and casting ring of warding, being fortunate enough to capture someone to have them dodge roll out imediatly. Anet was this intentional or just a bug?

Umm dont touch my unload k thanks.

Ele’s is the worst, necros isnt bad and definitly not the worst. The life drain has saved me and so has the fear.

I find it absurd that spectral walk won’t port you back to the point of activation if it’s on a high ledge.

Make it work like Mesmer teleport!

Coldviper.6794:

I like it better this way. Just cause it doesn’t work for your little combo scheme there, now we have more control over it.

My only issue with it now is I think it should function more like a mesmer portal. As in actually port you back to where you were. Right now it works more like a blink, so if there’s any obstructions it simply puts you sort of near where you began.

It acts like a blink?! That’s just kitten. Now I won’t even be trying it

Agree it should definitly do the heal upon death.

Staff auto attack is junk, arguably the worst one in the game. I hate the idea of slow moving projectiles, and to top it off, it hits for low damage and doesn’t have any utility :S

After lvling a thief, I decided to make a heavy armor class, warrior or guardian. At the end of the day, warrior was far too simple and I knew I would get bored with, so here I am lvling my guardian and loving every minute of it. I just wish they would increase the speed of scepter auto attack projectiles, then it would be boss.

I can’t believe your complaining about being able to run a dungeon multiple times, getting rewards for each in a single day. In past games, you are LOCKED from entering that dungeon again for as long as 4 days! No you should NOT be able to speed clear dungeons as much as you want, you should not be getting your epic gear within a couple of days :S In warhammer for example, it took players and myself at times, months to get our epic glyphs, no to say it has to take this long for gw2.

You “skilled players” do not have special rites over every one else, what makes you think speed clearing dungeons in 10 mins a piece is acceptable?

Necros are the worst class in the game, why should you be feared by them, they arnt scary. Thief on the other hand, it makes sence.

People still die to heartseaker spam? Bads will be bads.

So you must be implying ever other class has infinity tools to catch people and does so successfully 100 % of the time :S Ive stopped many people in there tracks and killed them with the heavy cc of great sword/hammer.

It’s not DS that’s getting you perma stunned, this happens when your being chased by 4 people regardless of what form you may be in. Besides, how can you complain about a second health pool :S

DS has saved my life many a time, due to a second health pool, fear and life absorb.

A warrior did the same thing to me in spvp the other day, it was very disheartening.

On second thought, there was actually a thief with him to, probly stacked the stolen fear onto the warriors.

I love my necro, been doing fairly well with it in spvp. I love causing mass headaches to grouped up enemy’s with many aoe conditions coupled with wells and marks. It’s nice to see 3-5 people melt within 4 seconds without knowing wth is happening. The flesh golem charge always makes me chuckle when it knocks some poor sod over.

Bump, would like to see more opinions on the matter.

After exploring a hammer/greatsword build in spvp and wvw Ive fallen in love with the hammer. I like to 1200 ranged root my targets, lock them in ring of warding then blow them up with great sword aoe .I’m specced for longer protection, retaliation and symbols(bigger too). The hammer has amazing cc and I love the auto attack protection.

I’m honestly worried they will change the hammer too much.

I’ve never found repairing armor to be costly, sounds to me like you do not have a good source of income. It also pays to not die 5 times in 10 mins, you must practice more caution, escape tools. Btw I’m from Borlis pass and our server is heavily outnumbered, I still manage not to die often.

Most people can outrun the auto attack, kind of sad. The aoe attack is the worst aoe attack in game being that it uses small projectiles instead of being a true aoe. You can’t say it’s powerful just because people will dodge it, most classes have ground target aoe attacks that offer far better damage and/or utility then a %chance to be hit by a projectile.

A simple fix would be to increase auto attack projectile speed to equal that of others while reducing the number of projectiles being fired as need be, and to make smite a true aoe. I would be happy to use scepter if this were true.

Argee, always crying nerf to anything that kills him.

Simple solution, stop firing.

It would be nice coordinate attacks with guildies that are not able to fit in a party. I suggest that guildies not in your party show up as gold dots on pvp maps.

What exactly did they do? I am a thief and always thought 3 initiative for heartseaker was too little. On the other hand, if they nerfed damage, then we have a problem.

Please give us sniper kit <3

Mighty blow works like heart seaker now? Hell yes! Didn’t it stop you from moving befor, if so then indeed a good change. You’ll just have to time it carefully/watch your positioning if your worried about falling off a cliff.
