Guild Wars 2

I’ve soloed a few champs with Herald, in general i find it a really good class (revenant not so much), i can’t imagine why someone could call it useless.

I think you are overestimating the frequency at which they will add more elite specs.
I don’t think we will see anything new before a couple of years.

I only wish it had a ranged condi weapon.

Norn because i end up always with norns

I think some skill have a too high energy cost, both weapons and utilities.
I seriously hope a balance patch is coming before december 1st to address some of these issues.

I use rage for the price but i will upgrade to strength if i keep playing rev.

I see in that video tempest is full zerker, it’s still the best stat to craft for tempest?

Thanks for sharing your opinions, i think i will give the tempest a try all considered.
Now i have to choose the race ;D

What did they change exactly?

This clearly wasn’t a balance patch, that is when the nerf will be coming.

Swiftness > 25%

+ 1

Just run Staff + “Retreat” and you’re settled.

Yes sure. But no thanks.

Hi all,
i’ve leveled to 80 a lot of classes but i’m still missing engi and ele.
I’d love to try one of these two to try some PvE content (fractals and raids) as well WvW (staff support ele is still good?).
So, considering that after leveling the herald i’ve barely the tomes to bring 1 more class to 80, do you think the tempest will be welcomed in current pve content?

thanks for any advice.
regards

I see few warriors also around the new maps.
Personally i’m playing Herald these days, i find it more fun and certainly more competitive.

ProtoGunner.4953:

I never watched it, I just play the game. My advice: just play the game, don’t care about such details. Guys, wake up, it’s a kittening game, really. Reading this forum is a pain. In game everyone is having fun and although I already played around 200h I am not burned out, and now I am excited for raids.

Yeah sure.
Except these are not details, it’s a bad game design.

Swiftwynd.1685:

I’ve been on the dishing out and receiving end of Trueshot and the animation time and visual, particularly for female models, is not distinct enough in my honest opinion.

I disagree on this but i’ve not seen the animation on female characters.
I think that 1vs1 it’s pretty obvious, in a team fight you can miss the animation if not paying attention but i still think it doesn’t need to be changed.

I got used to them, i kind of like them now, but i agree an option to turn them off would be nice for people who can’t stand those sound effects.

Swiftwynd.1685:

When Trueshot is being charged up, or when the traps are being placed, the opponent currently does not have sufficient visual cues to alert them to the incoming damage or what trap is being used, especially instant cast traps that deploy instantly.

You can easily see a Trueshot coming, what do you need more than the current animation?

Razarei.2809:

I logged in to say how awful your “balance” decisions are, and people like you are exactly why people with legitimately good balance ethos’ are ignored.

This is so much true.
50% nerf on UA? That’s destroying a skill not balance.

Scrolling down would have been enough, there were so many topics about this.

There’s no source guys, this is just OP speculating of course.
He has a point though, i mean next week we get raids and probably the balance patch considering there’s also the pvp season incoming, after all the cries i think DH will be toned down.

Seriously, stop clicking and keybind your skills.

DarcShriek.5829:

I can’t imagine ever wanting to re do a heart.

totally agree
just finished world completion with my revenant and the best part was Orr.

Mejiasan.3587:

NTDK.4897:

You don’t need to use Unlocker.

Can you (or anybody) please give a little more information on why it is not needed? why is it recommended on the wooden potatoes video?

I don’t know why it’s recommended but I did what the OP said and it’s working just fine.

isux.8940:

Dont listen to them. Warrior is not bad. If you are good, you can 1v3 in PVP easy even with warrior.

LOL ok, if those 3 people are without arms.

I think when things will settle in PvP and people will learn how to deal with DH this elite will look a lot less powerful.
I like playing DH (it was unexpected honestly) but I spending more time with Herald at the moment.

Trepidation Lost.3469:

Look at mesmer, they recently got 25% movement, and i bet youd say that movement wa their intended weaknes too with their blinks.

I completely agree.
I’ve seen this argument about guardians weakness being slow movement coming up more than once and it doesn’t make sense, every class has at least an option to boost their movement speed without resorting to use traveler runes.
I think we, as guardians, have missed an opportunity with the elite spec and we will have to wait another couple of years for a change about this.

There is no such thread, why don’t you post your opinion in one of the countless underwater thread already in the forum? But no no, let’s open a new one.

I expect some heavy nerf before pvp league starts

phor.7952:

You built your Dragonhunter,
you leveled him to max.

Retreat! is what you mutter,
when you want to run fast.

In the Maguuma Jungle,
what you’re looking for is fungal…
You don’t need Traveler Runes,
Just touch those delicious mushrooms!

fin.

LOL

Kanto.1659:

How many new weapons were added to the game in the three years it was out?

None that i recall.

Please no.

/15chars

A ranged condi weapon would be great, unfortunately at this point i think it’s all set in stone and we are not getting any new weapon in the foreseeable future.

deda.8302:

So lets go back to herald.
Might fury and swiftness for ,with added effect if you “burst”
Im sorry this doesnt do much for me i can obtain said buffs with runes sigils ,traits.
Not in quantity that herald can offer but you can.
Reveal is great , 10 stack of voulenrability ok and elemental blast is as dragontooth, easily avoidable, still its kind of area denial so not useless .

I’m talking about pvp mainly, but i use herald also in pve maps.
How you can have perma swiftness, fury and might so easily anyway?
I run around with 30-60 of swiftness always up and a similar uptime on fury, even without using facet of strenght i have always 3-4 stacks of might (without counting eventual weapon swaps or consuming facet of nature.
And that is without considering infusion of light which is one of our best heals, Herald is a great elite spec all considered, if you prefer to play other legends it’s completely fine but the utilities are VERY useful.

Sorry, herald utilities don’t bring much? Are we playing the same game?

Also dragonhunter doesn’t one shot players, people around here like to make exaggerated statements.

i rolled a norn as usual in the end.

There are like other 3 thread about underwater in the front page alone, we know there is a problem but if everyone open a thread about this the forum becomes unreadable.

Stop running glint like everyone seems to insist you must. Class is plenty viable withou herald. All herald does is rotate deffensive cooldowns without any thinking required, very borring

Except people run Glint because it’s just too good to pass.

No people choose glint because its so easy and passive to play, and they can survive burst without havinhg to do anything but rotate blocks and heals.
People just like easy mode press 1 button builds

And how is that bad?

Rev underwater in a nutshell.

The whole underwater side of this class feels like a joke.

So true LOL.

Swagger.1459:

Misguided.5139:

Swagger.1459:

This weapon needs a utility skill to maneuver around the battlefield and can survive with its other three farming skills for pve and zergs.

No, you want one, which I appreciate. It needs no such thing.

Sure it does. It will happen and you’ll appreciate it

No one here seems to agree with you, maybe you should stop passing your opinions as facts.

But I see all dev time has been (once again) spent on buffing Warrior; as usual.

Once again? are you serious? Warrior is in a pretty sad state in pvp at the moment.

Yes I am? Warriors always got the buffs while all the other classes got nerfed (especially when another class beat JP on his signet warrior). Been going on since launch as all the balance devs were “Warrior, Warrior, I play Warrior hahahaha, Warrior”.

But Warrior is in a sad state you say? Well, good. Serves them right for being the easymode faceroll class all this time.

Also I don’t care about pvp. Anet’s constantly changing stuff because of pvp and subsequently messes everything up for the rest of the game in my opinion.

Then you clearly know nothing about warriors, i’m not even bothering arguing with you.
The latest balance patch nerfed warrior shouts, warhorn and banners, they later nerfed rampage too, in the meantime berserker is underwhelming at best and if they tried to fix it you say it’s the usual warrior buff? LOL.

Good, now you warriors can L2P after having everything easymode for you LOL

I have to 80 warrior, guardian, revenant, ranger, necro, thief and mesmer.
Maybe it’s you who should learn how other classes work.

I think you are imagining this.

Swagger.1459:

Heimdallr.7021:

why would you add a gap closing skill to a ranged weapon like hammer?

Think out of the box guys.. What about gap makers??? Right?

Like something is smashing your face… you’re crippled, chilled, immobilized… and you need to make some distance so you can keep distance so you can ranged hammer from a distance?

You guys really don’t wvw…

Except when i’m using hammer i want to use #3 and still remain at range, with your change i would never be able to use #3 without going melee. Think inside the box.

I’m only worried guardian will be hit way to hard with the nerf hammer because of all this.

why would you add a gap closing skill to a ranged weapon like hammer?

I have both to 80 and i’m completing the map with rev right now.
I am undecided as well but rev feels more ‘fun’ to play with his mechanics but the profession has some flows right now IMHO:

• some legends are lackluster, i’m locking at you mallyx
• you are almost forced to spec into herald to be really competitive
• underwater combat is incompleted at best
• almost no access to stability
• conditions destroy you

I will play rev for a while because it’s the new and shiny thing, i will decide after the next balance patch what to main

I’ve always played mostly warrior and guardian.
Now I’m playing DH and Revenant.

Also skill #2 of spear is a joke, no cooldown, no energy cost, just spam hit an build 25 stacks of vulnerability in no time.
