Sorry, but all of these fights have one thing that wins them for him. Entangle. Without that elite he wouldn’t have killed anyone. He would have died. That uplevel guardian almost downed him.

Also, only using shortbow?

Yea I did notice Entangle stuck on people quite often…which it normally doesn’t.

Why is your build under “Whats different” heading not the same as that
you show in the tutorial? Just clarifying.

That tutorial is quite old. I linked it to help with identifying the combos I’m using since the combos are all the same for both builds.

There is a lot of missing combos from the tutorial though that are being employed in the 1v1 dueling video thanks to elemental surge though.

I may decide to make an updated tutorial. We’ll see.

I apologize if you have answered this earlier. I am guessing you prefer ES as compared to EA is because of the chill when you are blasting in water?

Always good to see something else than another condibunker roaming.
I like the video, although the music hurts my ears and I had to turn it off
Interesting that you don’t use Sword in these clips. I believe your combat style is more like a condibomb with very high bleeding spike and depending on first seconds of fight.
If I were you though, I’d get traveler runes and get flame trap instead of SoH at least.

Also, try forcing foe’s condi clears with Lynx bleeds in the beginning. They don’t do much, but 4-8 bleeds use that one condi clear and considering you rely on one-two dps conditions, it may make a use against better opponents

When I do that I worry about the pet being too slow without traiting the pet.

I think we are basically on the same page in regards to Ranger strength…..that Rangers aren’t terrible, that a few light tweaks is likely all they need. I also agree there are far too many “suggestions” that are obviously over powered.

Still man, take a chill pill. That arrogance is a tad over the top. Many Rangers have done the one shot wonder thing. It’s good for giggles, but not really sustainable. Add to the fact that a strong breeze will kill you is likely the reason more don’t do it. That screen shot is nice damage, but very very highly likely against an up leveled character. So hardly proof to support your thesis

….and once…in north camp… I had a 98k Maul on a rabbit !

Uncanny how you can get Hide In Plain Sight to work. I always end up moving and break the stealth.

You don’t have to stand still to stay cloaked. You probably attack and that’s what breaks the stealth.

Agree….and I have a tough time not having that happen. In fact I don’t even now how you would prevent that with the SB firing away on auto. Obviously I am missing something ..which wouldn’t be the first time

You play well. Especially the timing of your dodges and movement. Uncanny how you can get Hide In Plain Sight to work. I always end up moving and break the stealth.

You really overwhelm opponents with the bleeds. That might prove to be a problem vs some builds though that can do smaller cleanses more often. Dunno though.

WH is nice for the blast in water field but you lack any fire damage …or torment…or confusion.

Big investment for only 1 trap also.

Good job !

Hey all,

I just wanted to clarify since we saw some confusion about this, both in this thread and on Reddit. The summary I posted was a summary of feedback I took from you guys in this thread and sent to the devs. It is not a reflection of changes that are or will be made (necessarily).

That doesn’t mean we aren’t doing anything about the feedback in the summary, it just shouldn’t be considered “Balance update notes”.

Hopefully that clears up some of the confusion.

Does that mean feedback that wasn’t included in your summary isn’t going to be seen by the devs or is going to be less prominent in the discussions?

It means Allie is the only one reading this thread; she made a “note list” that the devs read.

So, just to be clear: it seems the devs didn’t bother reading all the suggestions in this thread but just the notes Allie passed them.

I hope I’m wrong.

You’re not wrong. I give Anet some grief at time’s but no way did I expect the devs to read this entire clusterkitten.

in Warrior

Posted by: Forzani.2584

Forzani.2584

The current warrior issues seem largely due to the sum of the parts. The combination of cleansing ire, healing signet, adrenal health and dogged march are what creates these scenarios. Lose any of the 4 and sustain drops noticeably. They’ve all been very meta and with things being so condition happy its honestly not a huge surprise. Combined with warrior’s large tool box of CC. movement options and immunities, they can be extremely difficult to stop, especially 1v1.

Add in the runes and food ( namely mango pie or lemongrass ) and bam. The combination of the above really is a strong anti condition meta but as mentioned before, cripple, chill and immobilize, all being condition based CC, are nearly useless against said setups ( again with the correct food / rune combos, of which do seem to be very popular in WvW ) This effects direct damage builds as well which often rely on these conditions for added control.

In the end this leaves warriors such as these only truly vulnerable to knockdowns, dazes, stuns and a lot of damage direct. They require follow through or they’ll scurry away and reset the fight passively with minimal difficulty.

Its a tough thing to balance because its not any one thing alone that would destroy things, it would only handicap it. Personally, I’d be interested to see a short cool down addition to dogged march’s condition component however. Would be nice to see a cripple on a warrior last more than .25 seconds

Good post.

My main is a Ranger. My second is a Warrior who has 500+ hours in WvW. So not an expert by any means.

I spend far too much time theory crafting and trying new builds. When going back to my Ranger I realize one big difference between the classes. if I want to heal on the Ranger, I have to build for it…at the expense of something else. If I want a power spec, same thing, I lose somewhere else. etc etc

With Warrior, if I focus on something, the other attributes don’t take as big of hit. Go power build? My HPs, toughness, healing and mobility aren’t terrible.

I think that’s what gets people fired up.

…and no, I don’t want to see Warriors nerfed.

Rate my S/F roaming build

Didn’t want to start a new thread when this one pretty much covers it. I have been playing around with S/F last couple of nights using a Fresh Air build. very explosive. Won a couple of fights where I am sure the burst caught the other guy by surprise. a little fragile though because the healing is almost non existent. I can take some hits but can’t build the hps back up as easily as I would like.

Tonight I was thinking of switching it up to this. Not as bursty, but a little more healing plus nice protection up time ..among other things. Would this do enough damage or being a little more defensive would just delay the inevitable?

I’m sick of people complaining about their pet.

If you don’t want a pet-class, you don’t want Ranger. It’s as simple as that.

No, it’s not as simple as that.

When people rolled a Ranger they realized it came with a pet. It wasn’t a surprise. What they discovered was pets don’t work correctly…and Anet has said they are not sure if they can fix it.

If the pets worked as intended, you would get very few, if any, complaints about them.

Futuretech: 2 Sigils on Bows

Posted by: Forzani.2584

Forzani.2584

I don’t waste a slot for bloodlust or precision buff. Take 1 minute and you can get a full stack with 2 spare weapons.

Aren’t they changing it so you’ll lose the stacks if you switch to a weapon without the sigil?

25 bloodlust stacks is 250 power. Which for most builds will be about +10% damage. Even when buffed with food and 25 might stacks, it’ll be about +7% damage. So superior to sigil of force (5% damage).

There was a rumor floating around but I can’t really see them doing it.

I’ll probably just mush in another accuracy sigil or a sigil of force. It’s not worth trying to get a full stack of buttlust in WvW on a ranger with a longbow anyway.

You don’t use LB to get stacks. You equip whatever 2 alternate weapons to compliment your build. Power build I use Sword/Axe, trait entangle and 12 kills later I have 24 stacks. Condi build A/T + traps + entangle and your 12 kills comes even faster.

I was fighting a Warrior near SW camp and the 2 necros came along and used Sig of Spite on me. Kind of a waste imo but whatever. So I released and came out at nw tower and guess who I see running otw to N camp ..the 2 necros. So I ported and as I ran to N camp I switched the one trait to diamond skin…and it worked well !

My main is a Ranger. I also dabble with Warrior and Thief. Playing around with builds on these classes I was thinking how good Earth line is.

IMHO all 12 choices have something to offer depending on your build and preference. I don’t recall having to make tougher decisions when picking only 3.

The kind of cool thing is changing something before an anticipated fight. I knew I was going to face 2 Necroes in a fight so I switched to Diamond Skin right before fight. Worked well.

1v1 (Serious) - Staff Elementalist [Video]

in Elementalist

Posted by: Forzani.2584

Forzani.2584

If you don’t feel this worth a sticky, ya should make one that is. There are many terribad staff Eles out there that are giving the class the reputation as “rally-bait.” x_x Videos like the ones you produce could go a long way to changing that.

It isn’t really a reputation, it’s more of a fact. Staff ele is objectively bad for 1v1 fights. I’d say the biggest reason the op won those fights was because his enemies were either not aggressive enough or they were so aggressive they ran into too much aoe. Despite the disclaimer, I can’t believe the other players were good. I swear at least 3 of them spent half their time swinging at air.

I’m not criticizing the op, I’d say he plays staff ele well. I’m not even trying to dismiss the wins; winning a 1v1 against anybody on a staff ele deserves some kudos. I’m just saying staff ele will never be considered good for solo to small group pvp in its current form. It can work in spvp because people have to stand in capture points, so all aoe is somewhat easier to hit with. However, anybody you fight in obsidian sanctum will likely just power through your cc and/or tank any damage that follows it regardless of how expertly you time and place them.

Have you ever heard the saying that if you have nothing good to say…don’t say anything?

What do you accomplish kittening on his parade? …even if you are 100% correct that the fights he had were rigged. That either the opponents were bad or tanked the fights and lost on purpose. Who cares? The OP doesn’t win any awards for winning those fights. He doesn’t make any money or get a new title. It’s a stand alone video. People can watch and decide for themselves what they have just seen.

Get a life man.

Condition Clarity (see your future hp)

in Profession Balance

Posted by: Forzani.2584

Forzani.2584

I also think the damage should show in the combat box. So many times after a fight I check out the combat log. Especially to see how I was damaged. Sucks that condition damage doesn’t show up (unless there already is a way to make it show that I don’t know about)

Now this I agree with. Combat Log should show all damage, no matter what it’s from or dealt to (including stealthed folks). That way, people can look through and identify why the fight went the way it did and have better information to improve their play in the future.

Though perhaps each individual condition stack would not be represented, so instead of seeing "bleeding: 45 damage, bleeding: 45 damage" you see “bleeding: 90 damage” This would also give great indication of exactly how fast things are happening

That goes without saying. They fixed that last year so the numbers above your head show the total damage of that condition per tick.

I don’t think it would spam the combat box too much. Especailly if given the option to include it or not IE customize like the chat box where you don’t include guild talk for example.

As the OP also posted this verbatim (cut and pasted) in the balance section, he is indeed merely a troll trying to get the profession nerfed. Zero objectivity, and likely mains a warrior.

I bet he went to the Sanduskel school of learning.

As I posted in the other forums as well my main is zerker thief and I love the profession and actually think it needs to be buffed in the current meta. I believe you are just a crappy player who is entirely reliant on overpowered specs such as this in order to be successful and do not want your build nerfed. I do not even have a warrior ( I think they need to be nerfed to hell too) It is just the dire condi meta with perplex I am tired of.

Keyboard/Mouse Suggestions

I also have the Naga and I think we have the same issue … thumb pressing the side buttons and losing some cursor control. I just never got a feel for what ones I was pressing or if I did, I couldn’t grip the mouse comfortably to move around (I think the mouse is too small for me). I was thinking about moving to a Razer gamepad (with the thumb controller) but I haven’t pulled the trigger because I don’t know if the thumb can be used to move the cursor. I do think it would be superior for me playing this game, it may also be for you.

I have used a game pad but it was more for replacing the keyboard. thumb control was on the right side(left hand). I didn’t realize there was a game pad that had a left thumb control for right hand to replace mouse.

Would have to test it but what about targeting?

At the end of the day I want to be able to do 100% movement and targeting with 1 hand …hopefully right, and leave the left hand for all other actions.

I think it’s pretty obvious that Anet has never had any real vision for the ranger class and they never will. No surprise people are giving up.

When i take a look at the ranger, it’s design, traits, pet, description etc, the phrase “a camel is a horse designed by a committee” always comes to mind. Basically meaning the ineffectiveness of too many conflicting opinions into a single project.

Instead of having a real vision for the class, they just mashed a bunch of ideas together and out came the ranger. Theres a bloody trait called “beastmasters bond” in the marksman tree. What on earth does that have to do with marksman? It’s a mess.

That is brilliant. Have never heard that before. That goes into my collection of memorable quotes and phrases.

That is freaking awesome KFC. I have watched many videos and I don’t recall seeing anyone playing with as much skill as you do.

I think it drives a melee class crazy trying to get at you. the Rifle/hammer Warrior fight is a great example. At the start of the fight he did a good job avoiding your Lava Fonts. A few minutes in I can imagine him raging because he was having such a tough time hitting you consistently. So when he actually got close enough to hit you he was more than happy to eat the Lava just to have the satisfaction to actually hit you.

Me thinks that is part of your strategy. Lots of patience waiting for the other guy to lose patience and make mistakes

well done

Could very well be my inexperience with the class. Is this a theory craft build? A couple of questions.

Why Arcane Power? There is zero crit damage in the build and only 938 power. How much damage could that add?

There is only one heal in Water with S/F. Over the top Toughness but less than average HPs. Condi damage doesn’t look that powerful with no + to duration. Not sure how you kill anything with that.

I would probably agree a condi build is more forgiving. Which is good, since I am still learning the class. I am doing ok with my current build but likely it could be tweaked to be more effective. A few of you have mentioned your builds. Would love to see them.

This is the Signet build I am using. I can’t help but think there is likely a better way. A reminder. Err on the side of HPs/Tough since I am still learning.

You can also use caltrops instead of scorpion wire or shadow refuge. I just prefer it the way it is

I like it. The same weapon set just to get endurance boost on swap?

was wondering about Leeching venom. There is only 1 Venom in the build. I’m not sure exactly how that works..ie how often it procs. Better than Shadows rejuvination?

Thanks for the condi build. Going to take a look at it.

I switch every couple weeks between condi and a more typical build. When fighting Thieves I was always impressed by the ones that would get in, get out. Rinse/repeat. Sustained pressure and damage. Was very tough to fight. Would something like this represent that style of play? I wasn’t sure if it was enough damage.

Forzani from Daoc ? I’d recommend anything but venom share for solo roaming .

It’s all true

Yea, played a few hours with it. Doesn’t feel right. Although thought maybe it was me being new to the class. Haven’t found the groove yet.

I’ve got foot controls. A three button system.
They’re a bit clumsy because it takes a lot of pressure to activate. Also they can’t emulate ctl or alt etc.

After a bit of experimenting I found the best use was to use them for targeting functions. next-target and target-nearest-enemy.

I also use a Naga mouse with thumb buttons. I have l/r strafe and forward movement bound to the thumb along with lookback and autorun. Dodge is on the middle button. That puts all my movement on the mouse (except jump – somehow that always feels best on the spacebar) and the keyboard is entirely free for skills.
(I never kbd turn or ever backpedal)

That’s what I need to get to. All movement on mouse. I have a logitech currently. It has side buttons but like I mentioned above I can’t seem to use them because I lose control of mouse.
