I think this is fair. Thieves need all the buffs they can get.

lmao

anyway they can have this stolen item, it’s WE that need moar slow :/

gannondorf.7628:

hum… are you sure op that ventari is designed for spvp? I’m don’t really sure. I think it is most designed with Wvw and Raids in mind. For sustained heal to mutiples targets But yes, even with this he need some adjustments.

well it would a big error to have a whole legend not even worth to bring into pvp… :/

Bane.3091:

about Machined Hammer Handle i get that last night in finale chest when u defeated mouth of mordrem in finale meta event,didnt opened single nox pod for that.Maybe its just rng to get from finale chest but idk rly…

yep same. If you are going for machined i’d suggest to get the wep first from vendor and THEN open the final reward chest in DS. I got it first try this way with the shield ;-)

OP made me laugh…RF is a real killer, you can’t sidestep to avoid it…so nice try but now…people still have to L2P

Bored? Seriously? Have you done all the achievments both for maps and story? Collections? Beaten all the meta events? Started working towards new legendaries?

There’s a HUGE quantity of things to do, maybe you just dont like what you have to do. GW2 was always about events and achievements.

Also Raids are coming, fractal adjusted in december.
I also guess you havent stepped in PvP or WvW? I’ve done little of those two (despite being primarly a pvp guys) because I still have too much things I want to do.

Sure, HoT ain’t perfect, but it’s a kitten good xpac, even if it was stated that it was more about the new systems and less about the content.
What make me smile is that you said “back to Skyrim” where after playing all the stories it gets boring because there’s nothing really new to do…..

That achieve was for the husks in the sniping section of the meta. Those husks were invulnerable until CC’ed and event required a cc group down to break bars and shooters up to fastly kill them. This was trivialized by killing them while they were spawning (no bar up), tactic that is still widly used, even if not required.
I hope they change or patch out that achiev, it bothers me it’s the only i have left in VB

Shadelang.3012:

As far as the ventari utility skills. Im of the mind that all 5 of ventari’s skills should be usable while stunned.

I.E. Ventari doesn’t get stunbreaks But instead can continue to function even while stunned. By moving and utilizing the tome to respond threats.

Your being stunlocked? Move the tablet to you and detonate it to buy you time to get away. Or use it to burst heal you or cleanse condis off you. Or even to stop the arrows of that ranger pew pewing you while your stunned. Thats the kind of gameplay I REALLY want to see from revenant.

It will take more skill than your typical stunbreak. But it leaves the option there and gives you further methods of mitigating effects without simply copying every other pattern out there.

I’ve asked for a stun break on ventari#9 (condi remove) but THIS, this is a great idea!

scerevisiae.1972:

Amethyst Lure.5624:

My pet peeves otherwise is mainly the unresponsive feel of the tablet. the cooldown AND trajectory time makes it feel really weird to me, and I feel like it should only have one of these or at least only a very short cooldown to prevent “stacking abuse” later in the raids.

Agree, for the amount of healing and energy cost, the tablet would play a lot better if the CD on moving it were cut in half and then energy cost rebalanced to suit. Currently it is more practical to leave in 1 place and spam the heal skill, which is a real shame.

I still think the biggest issues are the initial cast time on the tablet and lack of any personal heal on moving with the heal skill makes the whole legend unviable in pvp.

I think the tablet should also spawn on legend swap and the elite destroy skill should be stronger.

yeah basically. I’ll say it for the 100th time, the whole “destroyable” thing is useless: table should always be out if on ventari and elite should just KB/orbs without destoying it. #6 should be instant without heal on travel but heal on impact. Ventari #9 (condi remove) could use a stunbreak.

Make this and ventari will be perfectly awesome.

initially i didn’t like sowrd OH, but i’ve started using it more last week and now it has grown on me. Shield is AMAZING don’t get me wrong for the #5: that saved my life SO MANY times. But now that I’m really used with rev, I’ve valued more the sword #4 (lower cd + movement). Sword#5 is decent in breaking bars.
Still if i feel I don’t need the defence I’ll go with axe since is a bit more damage and I still have the breakbar ability with axe#5.

So, in the end, my feeling is good right now. As always you must use the right wep at the right time, and sword has his right times

Azure.8670:

saw someone using mace today in frac 75. mailed them 1g and told them to keep the dream alive

over lv60 thoughness on mob is insane, going condi is the only way… even if other classes do it better i guess going mace/mallyx in high fractals is viable

Let’s be honest Glint/Shiro is squishy as phuck.
Sure you have some evades(sword#3, hammer#3, glint heal, shield#5 if you run it). But you have zero sustain.
Using shiro you CAN be evading for a long time but you’ll be able to only use AA and you might not be an incredible threat.

Glint/Shiro is an Assassin mostly/Guardian secondly playstyle, you have to position well, strike at right time then retreat or you get eaten alive

deserted? try to taxi in instences that are organized…you might even get in :-/

Feel alone anyway? get a guild and do stuff togheter

mmm i’m pretty sure it worked when i tested it in the BWEs, i’ll try again when I’ll get back to home and let you know, if no one else replied until then

Inculpatus cedo.9234:

So, what you are saying is, while the mob is immune to CC effects, we should use CC skills on them?

Sounds like using CC at any time is a good idea. =)

well, depends, for bossese where the bar is up only in particular moments, you should save them for that, laso, for the exact case, you should think to bring an additional CC to speed up the breaking ;-)

Rym.1469:

Atm, PuGs run away from your tablet, avoiding it at any cost. 95% people consider it as boss mechanic or enemy player ability.

If you want to support, we have one niche and that is beefed up Regeneration. Just get outgoing healing modifiers and your Regeneration will be strongest possible one by far in game.

Then you can run Glint/Shiro and know that you support well.

this is actually an interesting take…you know what? while commanding i might do something like that!

Ofc the have, they are NUTS :-D

Since is weekly i’d expected at least the double of gold amount, but since we don’t know the non-monetary rewards yet I’ll keep my opinion untill release.

runeblade.7514:

Revenant is a great healer when you kill enemies to stop them from dpsing your allies. I mean, Centaur stance is a great skill when you swap it out for Shiro/glint.

dehehe this joke is kinda getting old but still fun XD

Anyway, Ventari IS decent but it still is a bit too clunky and for nothing comparable to druid. I know we are supposed to be sustained healer but we still fail at it since druid can basically be a sustained burst healer. Specially #6 and #8 needs number tweaking and be MUCH faster (the delay on #8 drive always me mad)

I second, third and forth that!

lmperdigao.2567:

I feel like as the skill goes through the ground, it goes forwards following the ground for 1200 range. What can be shorter than the imaginary straight line between you and the enemy that let you cast the skill in range. So while it shows that the enemy is in range for you (because it measures by the straight line), the skill goes short, because it takes a longer path.

yeah, that’s why, imho, it should be changed to something similart to axe#5

Mmm you clearly are doing somthing wrong. Yes, revenant IS squishy, especially if you push out for the damage in shiro/glint, but even there I can solo champions with shiro because you can basically evade everything is the enemy doesn’t attack too fastly (doge, dodge, shiro dodge gives 50% endu + endu you already recovered, dodge, shiro dodge, repeat…if you do it right you never run out of ergy or endurance )

To general play yes Jalis+Shiro is a good choice, and I’d suggest to stay in jalis and use the hammers (#9): they make some damage, heal a bit and protect you against 20% of the damage.

Also do NOT spam skills off CD, you them ONLY when needed. If used correctly revenant is a killing machine, he just needs a good touch

DarcShriek.5829:

I can’t believe ANet made us pay for an expansion. I mean who does that? No one makes people pay for expansions, what makes Anet think they’re so special that they think we should have to pay for an expansion.

Right?!

and just think that Anet nerfed the sword trap after BWE3… XD

the map feels empty because probably you are ported to a fresh instance, look in LFG for a map doing events.

So atm the legendary version is still not craftable? Or the recipe is just not discovered yet?

I think they should make hammer#2 and mace#2 like axe #5, an over-terrain effect.
IIRC axe#5 will be inclined to the direction of the target and I rarely missed that on uneven terrains.

If they could do that it would be great

Imho the map is great, it HAS room for tactical play (like chocke points ARE chocke points for real), you have shrines, and you have to plan really well before attack.

My suggestion? Less QQ, more PewPew. People just need to get used.

Argon.1563:

I had a feeling Herald would cause problems for people with epilepsy. Theres a big thread going on at the moment about how over-the-top that disk on the utilities is.

Hopefully this will provoke them to tone it down a bit considering its actually a health hazard.

EDIT: I just realized you meant about the empty utility slots. Mis-interpreted the post. :S

still relevant tho, the disk is nice but needs opacity to be toned down

You posed the question wrongly. You should ask “which race should I play on all classes and never look back?”. The obvious reply is CHARR.

/thread

Nice duels!

/15 revenants

You know is TANGLED depths, is supposed to be hard. First time just wander around.
The main point is the confluence, from there 4 routes goes around the map with caverns that take you up or down. Once you know where a re the access, the map is a joke to navigate. Nuoch hollows mastery will help a LOT to cut the navigation times but that’s it.

I’m honestly bored by the flat layouts, TD entertains me the most.

Levelling masteries is a chore if you make it.
I’ve leveled basically all of my jungle masteries by PLAYING, without caring, and it was FUN to unlock new abilities and go back where I previously couldn’t.

Of course sometimes I’ve wanted a mastery fast, and I’ve worked on it to unlock it (some occasional Spider farm or COF farm) but it was my choice to speed it up and thus I shouldn’t complain it was a chore, I wasn’t asked/supposed to.

EDIT the biggest mastery to unlock is a lvl 6 one and asks for 4kk+ exp. Pact6 (autoloot) for example. I wanted that one fast, and I went for a farm in COF, loaded up boosters (old exp booster, new exp booster, food/nour with exp, fireworks, killstreak): 2kexp per kill, pack of 12 every 10 secs max = 24k/10s = 2.4k/s.
Every minute is 144k
Every hours is 8.6kk
It’s not always possible to keep up this rate but AT LEAST you should expect 5kk/h.
So use boosters if you farm, 5h for a single mastery is nuts.

My 2 copperz.

Tumult.2578:

Bought it,
tried it,
tried it more,
tried it a lot,
regret buying it.
Nothing for solo players there.

It’s an MMO, tho. I’d expect some solo play for sure, but this shouldn’t be the norm, imho.

Nope, love everything!

Sicarius.4639:

It’s interesting because the map bug not giving you enough players is exactly what the maps will look like down the line, god forbid someone isn’t trying to do this content now, it’s going to impossible later without a nerf.

Not really, there are MANY community (not even guild) that run constantly world events..withi this thinking one might say “oh god, i’ll never complete Triple Trouble Achiev! Who is running that?” Well, GW2Community runs TT daily…as the HoT metaevents too, Teq, Karka and so on.
Don’t worry ;-)

You are a bit late…there’s who is already working on part III XD

i like it, maybe just tone down the opacity ;-)

i second

/15bug fixes

still have to kill the third, i’ll let you know this evening!

yeah I believe we have to kill all the Mushrooms in the the first 3 map and each gives the spore to 3 spec collections…not clear but seems about right…try out!

PS: is there a sroom in DS?

Why should be a troll, I love the new map too… :-/

Dadnir.5038:

So in short you said that Anet made the game better with these change?
- less people simply leeching
- less event that fail becauser of leecher
- need to actually use your brain to play
- Reward for doing thing in the map instead of no reward at all
- etc.
Am I wrong?

AMEN

kitten Tangled is my fav one…BECAUSE it’s a-MAZE-ing.
Why people like dumb stuff? :-/

Least at it VB becasue, well, it’s the most known (since BWEs) and it didn’t give me the “wow!” factor like other maps. Still I really like it, but since we have to make a list…

Start autoattacking-

In Glint stance use f2+all the three utility. Let the energy run out (so the facet will deactivate without using the active, that will put the facet on CD)

Swap to Shiro. Use Impossible Odds (this will put you on quickness with all the major boon cumulated with glint resulting in some very good dps).

Swap to glint when out of energy and repeat.

During this rotation look for good moments to throw in Unrelenting assault (need spike or evade) and axe#4 (need gap close or little spike),#5(need CC).

Pretty easy. It seems dumb but since Rev is quite squishy with this build you have actually time to focus 100% on battle in order to move, dodge, react, like a thief!

the only weapon outside weaponsmith is the staff, so i guess is a good candidate.
I’d say then hammer since 2h weps are more expensive to craft.
Sword is a must.

Off hand up to you but just remember you can collect an ascended shield with herald collection (Glint Bastion).

Also on this route I’d consider making Bo (daredevil) and Fix-R-Upper(scrapper) form collections if you fancy and then just get sword, sword, mace, axe.
I’m doing this latter case

i had that issue with phase traversal once, in verdant brink: I was ported into a gigantic root :-D

Josa.5067:

I just kind of got the masteries while I was maxing the elite specs of my alts.

Man. When I see comments like that so soon after the game’s release, I wonder how much others are playing…or whether I’m just THAT inefficient. Anyway, it is good to remember that the masteries are account-wide. I’m now working on leveling some of my alts and it does help leveling the masteries feel like less of a chore…though you can only do the same events over and over so many times without it getting boring.

Hopefully in time, more people will get into the later zones, making some of the later events POSSIBLE (providing more variety). Right now, only the first zone is proving reliable for decent fast-moving event completion. SOMETIMES the second zone, depending on time of day.

For the most part, it’s really all about stacking boosters; Birthday/Celebration(same boost, different durations), New XP booster, Old XP booster, Killstreak booster, normal consumables/food, halloween consumables, banners, guild hall bonus, and likely one or two more things I’ve forgotten. Also, kill any non-hostile beasts you run into, most people just ignore them, and all mobs give bonus xp up to a total more than twice their normal worth depending on how long it’s been since they’ve spawned.

When you’re getting 7-8k xp base and up to 12k or more xp on everything you kill, those masteries start filling out pretty quickly.

EDIT: I misworded the bonus xp bit, the bonus itself can rise to more than double the base, after boosters, meaning a mob noone has killed in forever can be worth more than three times what it’s normally worth. Hence how you can get to 12k or more. A guildie of mine once got 16k xp on a single mob kill thanks to that bonus xp.

Exactly, the problem is not the exp but the mastery points..i currently have 2 unlocks ready (exp filled) but not enought mastery points…

Azazel.1540:

i think glint’s needs to be toned down just a little. revenants can quickly use 2 heals in succession (1 for each legend), and i feel that is the reason why their healing skills are a little underwhelming

well they’ve cut 25% the duration..it this aint a nerf….
