Guild Wars 2

Aveneo.2068:

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.

Underwater combat is very buggy, only 2 legends work (i don’t know if glint was fixed) and we have only 1 weapon.

You forget however that Defiant Stance doesn’t give you regen at the cost of 1 upkeep, you have just the heal, anyway I think Infuse Light was fine the way it was.

That’s totally your perspective. I thought since BWE3 that new was really amazing. On both PVE and PVP conent… Don’t just look it from solo point of view… But consider the the group scenario. A well played combo of DH maw , Reaper’s elite elite and Reaper Shroud #5 , mesmer stun or warrior hammer or whatever could insta lock down a whole team in PVP and break really fast the shield of bosses in PVE . Considering all the above I think it’s fair to increase it’s cd.

It wasn’t my intention to discuss how fair these nerf are (I think however that were a bit too hasty, maybe a little more meditation would have helped), but if you read the forum this summer you have certainly saw of this elite spec wasn’t well received by the majority, it’s not my point of view: people went as far as bashing Karl for this.
Now instead I see a lot of people calling for nerfs, maybe i’m wrong but I didn’t see any of these in BW2 and BW3.

Hi all,
i was just wondering, i’ve seen any sort of complaint about the DH in the guardians community (many of which also true).
These last days after the expansion hit I say instead a lot of complain in pvp targetting DH and their supposedely OP traps.
How that happened?

how do you get 2 full heals?

the expansion just launched, he’s not vanished but probably working harder than usual.

Right now i’ve only unlocked the first two traps and no grandmaster talent, I must say i quite like the feeling of the DH and traps seems to hit hard.
LB #2 shouldn’t root you and LB#5 i think has a too high cooldown, DH and also base guardian certainly need some tweaking but I’m not so sure my main will be a rev now.

Yeah now we balance the endgame of a class based on how good it is while leveling with greens.
Good idea.

After leveling to 80 with scroll and getting ascended stuff i will work to unlock glint ASAP.

I don’t see the point or need for mounts in GW2.

In WvW i was planning about running a mix o berserker and valkyrie, i don’t really do PvE right now.
I wanted to try a hybrid built with hammer and mace/axe to run with celestials but before crafting anything i want to see if it’s actually working (always talking about WvW).

People seem to assume that Glint’s heal is a free health bar: it is not.
Unless you are in the middle of a zerg a smart player will not focus you, people will learn how to deal with glint soon enough.

I was deadset on big male charr for its ferocity n beastyness when swinging that hammer n slamming the ground. But then i got worried what if the new legendary armor looks kittene on charr, as many armors tend to, it was a more safe bet to go human afterall.

I hope at release all the new armors will be added to the bank wardrobe

I think charr really look great in heavy armor, i’m split between charr and asura for revenant.
I’ve played norn for too long.

that would be nice.

thumbs up.
It always bothered me the fact the guardians are forced into traveler runes.

TheFantasticGman.9451:

OP paid for a product. He wants to get his money’s worth out of it. For him it was the Druid doing want he wanted it to do. He has every right to complain just as much as others have the right praise it.

This doesn’t make sense, if he paid for the expansion only for the druid he should have waited for the POI before shelling out the money.
The OP, like all of us, paid for the expansion and his content, which has been delivered (well not yet, we will have to wait the 23).

Hi all,
am I missing something or Anet didn’t show anything about the new sets coming with HoT (including the legendary skins)?

Thanks

there already is a multi pages thread in the ranger forum, use that.

I can’t believe this thread is real.

I like norn a lot but i’ve grown a little bit tired of them, all my characters are norns but if you have never made one i suggest those.
Humans are okey but i don’t like the way they run (probably i’m not used to it), also i think legs pieces looks always like the waistline is too high.
I’m considering making an asura when the expansion drop, anyway there’s the BW3 this weekend, you could try to play with different races and play with the wardrobe a little bit.

anduriell.6280:

ok, you are thinking the Druid as it is not. For sustain strong healing you have Ventari. Roy stated so. And sustained strong healing is what you need in PvP – WvW.
Druid is Burst healing and that is sporadically being able to heal you for 1000%.

Seriously i don’t see any reasons why would you choose Druid over Ventari.

The funny thing is the in the revenant forum there are people worried because druid is much better than Ventari legend.
I guess the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

I’ve got 3 choices for HoT: Herald, Reaper or Druid.
I’m not likely keep playing warrior/guardian because i want some change.

i usually use some combination of norn T3 cultural.
I really hope the new armors are going to be good, or at least they put several outfits in the gem store for the expansion.

at this point i don’t really think they will add any new weapon to rev.

I’ve yet to decide which stat to craft for my ascended gear but i think i will take at least berseker jewelry.

I’m very curious about this, I’ can’t wait for the POI this friday.

I’ve played only norns on all my classes so i’ll probably roll a norn revenant.
I’m also considering charr or human just for a change, I wish there was a race change service in GW2 :\

Honestly i don’t think they will do such thing, I support the idea though, I can’t wait to try this class.

Well, Feel my Wrath is a shout so affect also allies which is good.
Too bad most guardians run Renewed Focus.

This is not a good news at all IMHO.
It can only mean the release is well far and we will probably not see the expansion before Christmas.

Dott.5672:

ANet has been very efficient at killing hype.
No one I know is hyped anymore.

QFT.
Also the fact that there is a beta weekend it’s no hint of a close release date, at this point I would be surprised if they release HoT before december.

Well he also worked on the mesmer, anyway I hope this means we are going to see soon the warrior elite.

They are releasing info not fast enough, half of the elite specializations are still a big question mark, not to mention the lack of a release date.
The expansion was announced almost 8 months ago and there’s still a lot to know, I think they are so behind schedule that they really don’t have any of the above information.

I think Bull’s charge should be on a shorter cooldown to make it worthy (without even talking about the pathfinding bugs afflicting the skill).

I’ve no idea, I only hope we can see something at gamescon this week.

Next week there is Gamescon in Cologne, I seriously hope we will have some big announcement (if not a release date at least a new elite spec).

I really think this week we won’t see anything at all (ranger or not).

GreyerSkies.6287:

I second this. Also, we’re getting our reduced banner cooldowns re-implemented, right? Right?

I read this on the forums as well, never seen a quote from a dev though.

Thanks a lot, i’m going to read the build thread.

Hi all,
I’ve finished leveling the ranger and i’d like to try it in WvW.
I want a ranged build using longbow or shortbow to target people who overextend in a fight.
Can you please recommend me something like this? Condi or power I don’t care.

thanks

At this pace they will reveal all the elite specs by 2017.

there’s any hint on when they are going to unveil the next spec?

20 seconds CD is “scary”, I’ll wait and see how powerful these spells are.
I like shouts though.

Judging from the scarcity of information I don’t think it’s coming before winter.
I don’t think they have a release date either.

I agree it will be probably pistol, I honestly hope for daggers though.

I feel like mesmer is the worse due to the fact that phantasms have “high” cooldown and disappear when the target dies.
Warrior/Guardian are really good at that, of all the classes i’ve used they’ve been the easiest to complete hearts, then i would place thief/ranger and Eles too.

BurrTheKing.8571:

The heal amount from shouts was dramatically reduced, Warhorn no longer transforms condis to boons.

Thanks
