This would cause bandwagoning. Free xfer to low tier? Tons of WvW wagoneers flock to some random low tier server and ride it to the top. Rinse repeat. It happened with BG, SOR, SOS, HOD, etc.

How did Greater Marks (Death Magic II – greater radius and unblockable) and Staff Mastery (Death Magic III – reduced staff cooldown) not get combined?

Why are they even in Death Magic? They have nothing to do with pets. . . . :-(

>>> “Locust Swarm: Increased the radius to 210. Increased animation size to better reflect it’s attack area.”

NOO.

NOO NOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Why can’t they just make it AOE swiftness and a leap similar to Foul Current? (Trident 3) This is why people hate horn and this is why Necros lack movement.

Tribal Armor Set - ANET Please Take My Money

Dear ANET,

Sup?

It has been well known for since beta, that the “tribal armor” set, currently available only in PvP as PvP Masquerade light armor, is the best kitten armor skin in the game.

Quit playing games. We’ve waited long enough. Put that god kitten armor in the gem store and lets do business.

ANET, please take my money.

kittenin eh—It’s beautiful.

Thank you,

Love,

What we expect in Jan 2013

Cloak and Dagger — too many times has a little lag had my double swing this and lock myself out of stealth. Make CND not work while stealthed. Make it do something else or nothing at all.

Body shot — useless. Give us anything else. Maybe something like engi poison pistol shot? Maybe a chill or weakness, or anything.

Our stun breakers and condition cures are a little lacking — specifically stun breakers. Maybe make Withdrawl heal break stun and you’ll finally see more people use it.

I’d like to see the 2s Swiftness on Evade Trait bumped to 3s, but that’s just me. We don’t have much swiftness at all.

Fleet Shadow trait (50% move speed) bugged?

in Thief

Posted by: Gav.1425

Gav.1425

If the IMS is capped at +33%, why is there a rune that increases swiftness by 7%?

The 50%, if it works, is not noticeable. And considering combat gimps your speed (horrible mechanic), it’s not useful.

Vigor on heal is much better if you use one of the 15s cooldown heals, or the -50% fall damage if you are near cliffs often (Eternal Battle ground has a lot, all jumping puzzles, etc).

Change the last refuge trait please

They need to make Cloak and Dagger NOT work while stealthed. Change it to something else.

Withdraw is the kitten. The only thing I miss about HIS is the bleed/poison/burn cure. I don’t miss many CnD and when I realize I’m fighting a good dodger, I try to fake them out a little.

Gaining the immob/cripple cure is pretty even, and considering you can pop it twice as often (!), you’re in good shape.

Withdraw + vigor on healing trait = ~5 dodges (with the endurance return trait). And Sigil of energy on swap, you get some more.

If you really fumble some CnDs, then you have refuge, dodges, blinds, and runaway heartseeker on your D/D swap.

Why rely on a 30s CD for stealth? You can’t even say that 30s CD contributes to more damage.

What is the optimal build for PvE Thief?

in Thief

Posted by: Gav.1425

Gav.1425

If you like crits — berserker gear, dps traits and shortbow clusterbomb spam is the way to go.

If you like aoe conditions — carrion gear, caltrops, d/d for death blossom, signet of malice (healing), and dagger storm. Add some poisons and you’d good to go.

I’ve played glass and condi, and glass was great leveling and dungeons, but condi is more fun and survivable. If I ever need to aoe down some mobs, I just put on the signet, throw caltrops, and dagger storm it up or spam death blossom.

NO! NOT NOW NOT EVER! It will never happen, if you don’t understand what rpg stands in mmorpg go play tetris and stop wasting everyone’s time on the forums.

Then explain the gender change feature? Is ANet doing plastic surgery?

I’m looking at you, Commando’s medium armor set!

You get 3 pieces and 1 phony piece from your personal story level 73, 74, 76, and 76 quests. The other items do not even exist.

I’m sure there are others. This must be a bug or something. Why can’t I look like a bad kitten wild wild west cowboy Asura?

Perma Swift Engi Build?

Why use a +20% swiftness 4th bonus rune when you can use two +15% buff duration 2nd bonus runes (Water and Monk)?

WvW Roaming Class

Posted by: Gav.1425

Gav.1425

I main an engineer and I roam a lot in WvW.

Benefits of an engineer:
- Wide variety of kits and general weapons at your disposal, you can create something really unique with the engineer, but it’ll take time to really get a firm grasp on your abilities.

- People don’t think much of engineers overall, so you’ll be pretty much always underestimated.

- No problems when clearing supply camps solo and at a fairly fast pace.
It’s not easy, but it can be done with enough practice.

- You can pretty much switch roles on the fly if you aim for a balanced build.

- Highly capable of winning 2 vs 1 scenarios, even 3 vs 1 are doable if your opponents aren’t that great or upscaled (green arrow thingy)

- Perma-swiftness. There are different ways to attain perma swiftness on an engineer by the way.

- Depending on what abilities you bring to the table, you’ll be able to kill off/neutralize thieves before they even realize it. A few of our abilities have confusion and we have great block skills.

Perma swiftness engineer? Please explain.

Can you fix it (culling) ?

Posted by: Gav.1425

Gav.1425

Make culling a setting in options so all the toasters and microwave gamers (IE we of the kitten college laptop generation) can still set a lower cull-cap and have some FPS while invisible people blast and hack us to bits.

Lag alone has me dodging zergs already, anyways..

Also, +1 for Player name in WvW / WvW Rank titles.

It’s bad enough you auto-dye us in the eyes of the enemy like we’re a bunch of kids in PE class with the cheapo colored jerseys (pennys if I remember correctly).

Night Capping and YOU

The current scoring system just ends up rewarding servers with the highest off-peak players, such was Oceanic timezone players who play on NA servers (ie. American military stationed overseas).

This has lead to the social structure of various servers to actually go out and recruit large amounts of off-peak players such as large Australian guilds and bring them to NA servers to “fill the gap” so to speak.

Why not just make servers no longer region bound? With the increasing globalization of the world, I’m not sure why MMOs have not followed suit and gone with the flow? I’d suggest making servers by language instead of by region. Even then, I don’t mind seeing some different languages in the map chat. Quite realistic if you think about it. It even keeps me from losing all of my old French and Spanish.

TTT………..!

More stat combinations

Gav.1425

Diversity seems to be the goal of the game, and that’s one of the best qualities of GW2. You can run almost any build (burst, bunker, heal, condi) on any profession and a decent player can find success. A big nod to this notion comes from the variety I’ve encountered in my groups (FOTM and others) and the battles I’ve had in WvW. I feel like I’ve had 1v1s with almost everything I can think of by this point.

So, my suggestion is to improve the diversity of the game by either giving players the ability to select any combination of stats or at least increasing the combinations that are currently offered. Karka island did this with the introduction of the Apothecary (healing / condition / toughness) and is gaining popularity only limited by the cost and supply of passion flowers.

For the winter holiday, I’m begging for a condition / toughness / vitality set. If other players have different requests, please make a note. Another stat option I’d like to see would be “+ All stats, + critical damage” akin to the divinity rune set. I’d love to see how a total +all stats build would fare.
