Guild Wars 2

Daecollo.9578:

I play a thief and a warrior and a necromancer, Hammer warriors are a joke to fight.

Blind…

Blind affects pretty much any attack regardless of the weapon used , don’t see why it is any different for the hammer. I learned when to expect the blind so I don’t waste my skills and my hammer build has lots of condition removal. I don’t play PvP much so I can’t speak for it there. I’m mainly WvW and I crushed many a thief with my Hammer 1v1 on the battlegrounds. It’s not and easy weapon to wield but once you learn your enemy and not waste your good attacks it’s a very good killing tool.

I think the Hammer is great once you learn its strengths and weakness and play accordingly. All the it really needs to make it perfect is

1. Add and effect to the auto chain or even just a % chance of adding an effect.

2. Not root staggering blow

3. Fix Earth shaker missing on uneven ground

4. a slight decrease in casting time on all skills. (although it still isn’t as bad and the guardians hammer)

I think this is a great idea. There a lot of times when we just want to run as a guild without everyone flocking to our tags.

I think the idea was that upgrading towers and keeps was to be a collective effort and that everyone would pitch in. The problem is that most players don’t and it is always the same peeps who are wasting money on upgrades. I have pretty much giving up upgrading anything cause it’s just making me broke . They should just reduce the gold cost significantly and add a badge of honor or 2 to the price.

I would love a recipe to turn reg trans. stones into fine ones.

There is some hard content in dungeons, sadly everyone just runs by them to get to the chest. They are explorable but sadly nobody ever explores them. You can only get so much challenge from PvE due to predictable attack patterns. Just increasing the HP and attack power of mobs will just make it tedious and boring. Like someone said above, if you really want challenge, play other people since they tend to be a little unpredictable maybe these new Arenas will be the answer. GvG would also be nice.

I for one think that the difficulty GW2 is just about right. Some stuff could be made a little harder but I’m fine with the way it is. You could always try playing with cheaper gear, or without runes or trinkets or even traits. There are tons of ways you can make the game harder for yourself without affecting everyone else.

I see nothing wrong with charging for portals. i usually leave a tip, 5-10s, anyways. I’ll go as high as 25s if I drop something good in the chest. You aren’t getting anything for sitting there porting people up while evey one else is killing stuff and collecting loot. You should at least get some form of compensation, I suck at JP’s and the time I save from not having to jump is definitely worth the money.

I’m not to fond of the idea farming for Ascended gear once again. I have 3 different sets for my warrior. 2 for my guardian and soon to be 2 for my Ele. I like having a variety of top level gear to play around with different builds in WvW. The idea for collecting ascended versions of all those armor set is just ugh. I would rather have a recipe for adding infusion slots to exotic armor without changing the stats. That way I can keep all the armor I have and just infuse the ones I want to do Fractals with.

The mistake you made is putting so many points in defense and tactics. I always use traits to maximize my weapon sets and compensate for stats with armor and trinkets.

This is a GS/Longbow build I use in PvE and I have no problems killing anything.

I don’t see how 1 free transfer to a new account would drastically affect WvW. It’s not like 400 players will instantly move from 1 server to the next.

It already happens… monthly.. and with PAID transfers and you think with a free transfer the same wouldn’t happen? That’s funny…

Look at IRON/AGG/EMP/Axis of Insurrection (5 guilds)/OMEN/MERC/ND.. All LARGE WvW oriented guilds that have transferred 40+ members each during PAID transfers. All these moves caused inbalance in the match ups.

I’m saying it won’t make it any worse than it is now. Nothing is going to stop the bigger guilds from paying their way to another server if they choose to. You would need a guild of 40+ new accounts transferring to have the effect you are describing.

and allow us to make em dance. Always wanted one to see one do the Mr Roboto.

I want this mainly for the guild shield I got in WvW. I had to completely change my armor dyes just to make it match. It would look so nice with the midnight dyes. Would also be nice to change to glowing part on my Pact GS, sword, and mace.

Sebrent.3625:

• It being healing skill vs a utility skill would matter if we were comparing their activekittenhat healing per second is only *if you used it as soon as it came off cooldown … there are times it is ideal to use the active on your healing signet because you need a burst of healing
• Healing per second is NOT supposed to allow you to continue to take damage. It is meant to allow you to recover more quickly from taking damage. This recovery requires that you stop taking more damage
• @Daecollo: your post history is attrocious. Your “points” have already been covered. When players have to kill my Ranger pet before they kill my Ranger, then the regen my pet gets from the signet will matter.
• Warriors also have access to Adrenal Health
  • Adrenal Health gives you 125 / 240 / 360 health per second based on how much adrenaline you have.

With full adrenaline, adrenal health, and healing signet with zero healing power a warrior has 560 health per second. For a ranger to get this, they have to have a 30 points trait, a utility, regeneration, and large amount of healing power.

Heck, take a look, i made a spreadsheet for the Ranger community.

So a warrior has to take a specific heal, a 15 point trait, and have full adrenaline (which several warrior builds love to have and keep) with zero healing power in order to have more health per second than one of the most viable Ranger builds.

So why the heck are you guys complaining?

Why exactly is Jon Peters even talking about this but we’re not seeing the same for Signet of the Wild?

Yea but the problem is~ the Healing Signet for warrior is a heal utility skill, not a regular utility skill. Signet of the Wild is fine. Healing Signet, however, really needs to be buffed.

Yeah, with Signet of the Wild you get the regen as well as your regular heal skill which doesn’t affect your regen. With the healing Signet you lose that regen for a crappy healing burst when you use it. Definitely inferior to SoW.

Also Adrenal health is 360 per 3 sec= 120per sec.

I don’t see how 1 free transfer to a new account would drastically affect WvW. It’s not like 400 players will instantly move from 1 server to the next. I agree with the OP, it would give new players a chance to get a feel of the game and what they like, then be able to move to a server that best suit their needs without shelling out 20$ for it. We all had a chance to try different servers to find a good home before they removed free xfers. Why shouldn’t a new player be given the same opportunity.?

I run a mix of Zerker and PVT gear and zerker/cavalier trinkets. Traits are similar to yours but instead of 10 in strength I put it in arms to get unsuspecting foe to get 100% crit chance on ES which works great with the new burst mastery trait. Sword/Shield or sword/mace as secondary set adds some mobility and extra CC.

You can get decent burst out of a more tanky build. I run full PVT gear, with zerk/cavalier trinkets, healing shout build when commanding to add more group support and still get 100% crit. chance on ES with food and SoR.

Gathslan.1870:

Veldan.4637:

I never understood skill 4. You are a melee character, then you knock the enemies away so they’re out of melee range. Why would you wanna do that?

Well one reason is to keep enemy CC locked, but even better use for it is to deny ressing. You down someone, they try to res downed player, you push them back while your friend finishes the person/you keep dmg rolling.

That’s about the only reason to use skill 4. Sometimes I’ll use it if I’m getting jumped by 2 or 3. Knock them all back and follow up with BB on my original target. All the hammer really needs if some bug fixes and have skill 4 not root you.

I think the issue is risk vs reward. I can make way more g per hour soloing Orr than I ever could in Southsun. The karka a drake take way to long to kill to make it worth while. Since the zone lacks anything else of interest, other that in it a great place to get your daily gatherer done quickly, there is no point in spending any time there. Adding a Mega Boss event could help but it would ultimately do like every zone that has a boss event. I bunch of peeps flock there for the event and disappear from the zone as soon as the chest is collected.

If your are in NA try guesting to NSP. There is a temple zerg going on pretty much every evening.

Agreed, targeting sucks balls and really needs some love.

edit: Can’t believe that didn’t get censored.

Julie Yann.5379:

Disagree with OP. Transmutation stones are indeed to way to go. The only thing I would change is getting some fine transmutation stones from the daily every now and then. Once you hit lvl 80 regular transmutation stones are useless.

You already can actually.
But I agree, they should increase the drop rate for them a bit.

Your RNG must be better than my RNG cause I have never gotten fine transmutation stones from daily or monthly and I complete them religiously.

Frosty and Frosty Law Firm.4981:

“fix”? It isn’t broken. It’s a bit inefficient at times, but nothing particularly unpleasant.

Secondly, if you aren’t willing to actually LOOK for the armor you want, you hardly deserve it. Thirdly, it’s wishful thinking to believe that Anet is going to do this when they’re trying to fix the game’s more glaring issues as is.

Have you ever used the drop down filters for stuff like food? It don’t work properly

Disagree with OP. Transmutation stones are indeed to way to go. The only thing I would change is getting some fine transmutation stones from the daily every now and then. Once you hit lvl 80 regular transmutation stones are useless.

The only reason MF doesn’t look good is because of a bunch a elitist are whining that their party is weakened by the non combat stat on MF and they just won’t stop complaining about it even though those extra combat stats aren’t needed for 98% of the game content. Everyone else is fine with it the way it is but Anet says they are looking for a new way of working MF cause it’s causing too much division in the community. Guess it’s true what they say about the squeaky wheel.

I’d be happy if they removed confusion completely but that ain’t going happen.

tinymurder.5791:

Julie Yann.5379:

Maybe all these MF haters should just step off their high horse and get themselves some MF gear. That way everyone in the group will be contributing the same and everyone can enjoy better rewards.. Nobody will be whining about 1 guy doing less work to get more loot. Problem solved.

Truth is, when wearing full MF gear you have to do more work in maintain that same effectiveness.

So….you’re saying that MF gimps your effectiveness?

Did I read that correctly?

I just want to be sure I understand what you wrote, because the logical extension of that line is that if you are in MF gear, and everyone else isn’t, then you are contributing less than they are, while getting better rewards. Unless, of course, you are so much more skilled than the non-MF users in the party. That, by the way, is an opinion stated by more than one MF-user in this thread, the idea that MF-users are inherently more skilled. A false supposition, but a popular on regardless.

I wonder if ther person who said that it’s intolerant to ask people to not wear MF-gear, will say the same thing about your suggestion that everyone wear MF-gear. By the way, I thought that was a delightfully wicked suggestion. Spikes everyone’s guns. I tried suggesting that the MF users try running an all MF group, but so far no one is biting.

Spiking peoples guns is easy in an MF thread. I just couldn’t resist trolling it a bit. You did read that right. The math don’t lie, 1 less combat stat makes the gear slightly less efficient in combat but with a little more concentration you can overcome that slight ineffectiveness. That’s what I meant by working harder to be as effective but in most content it doesn’t make a difference. Here is a rough example of why?

(This is just a theoretical method of calculating combat effectiveness in a party used to better explain what I believe most pro MF peeps are trying to say. If you want actual numbers you will have to do the work yourself.)

Take a party of non MF players with exotic gear, take into account their gear, skill level, familiarity of the dungeon, blood alcohol level, levels of fatigue, reflex speed, latency, etc. Apply numbers to each of those factors and add them up to get a combat effectiveness index. Lets say this party has an index of 125 and that particular dungeon they are running needs an index of 65 in order to have success (reasonably quick, not to many deaths/downs). A party with an index of 125 will plow right through this dungeon with little effort.

Lets say 1 guy has exotic MF gear and after the math is done the groups index is 115 and they run the same dungeon. They will still plow through it with little effort cause the content requires such a low index. The fact that 1 guy is wearing MF has almost 0 impact on the success of the run. That person is not being carried or being a burden to the party and that person is not leeching from the rest of the groups extra combat stats cause those stats aren’t needed to begin with. Heck, you could probably run through some of these dungeons naked and still complete them in a timely manner.

Now if this was a lvl 48 fractal where you would need an index of 120 then I agree that the 1 guy wearing MF in that particular party.

Maybe all these MF haters should just step off their high horse and get themselves some MF gear. That way everyone in the group will be contributing the same and everyone can enjoy better rewards.. Nobody will be whining about 1 guy doing less work to get more loot. Problem solved.

Truth is, when wearing full MF gear you have to do more work in maintain that same effectiveness.

Unless you are using a healing shout build Lyssa is the way to go IMHO cause it will free up space on your utility bars for more varied skills. I like running Lyssa with Signet of Stamina which provides 2 condition wipes so I don’t have to save my SOR for the right time. I can pop it at the beginning of a fight, clear the first wave of conditions with SOS and by the time I need to clear the second wave SOR is ready to go again.

I agree, fractals need some new instances. The living story dungeon is really fun to play and would make a great addition.

TP is fine the way it is. How about better loot tables so you don’t need to farm to get what you want?

I’m happy to see that this thread is still going. I wonder why the Devs didn’t think of implementing this at launch. Seriously, fully customizable armor dyes but no weapons?

I don’t really care about DR, I don’t have an attention span long enough to hit it. Loot tables are kittening kitten in this game, 1 of the worst I ever seen. I have limited time to play and want to maximize my gains in that time. I don’t care for the legendary, I think most of them are fugly and I will not spend years trying to put one together. The end game for me is making money and mats to try new gear and builds on all my alts and playing WvW which is a huge gold sink. With Anet nerfing all the good money making spots they are effectively killing the end game for me and a lot of players like me and I find myself playing less and less and wanting to play less. They advertised playing the game the way you want and be able to get anything you want by doing so which is a kittening lie. It’s down to the mega events and temples and farm CoF1. Anything else is a waste of time cause you aren’t getting rewarded for it. WvW players can’t just play WvW if they wanted to cause you inevitably spend more money then you can make unless all you do is zerg, never upgrade anything and never build any siege. Anet really needs to review the rewards system in GW2.

I am so selfish. I wear MF gear to get better drops to further my personal gain. I play WvW and all that persona; gain goes into helping my server win. I can barely maintain 15G in my account. I am and WvW player, running dungeons and PvE is how I make my WvW money. I have no legendary, no cultural armor no fancy expensive skins. I have almost 0 mats cause I have to sell it all. If I stopped wearing MF then I would not be able to help my server the way I do. Yes I am very selfish.

I here talk about these social contracts and obligations and I rofl. You guys take this kitten way too seriously. It’s just a kittening game played with strangers that don’t give a kitten about you or how you feel and that is the truth.

Ratty.5176:

Julie Yann.5379:

I would prefer to use all combat stats on my gear but Anets idea of a good reward is a chest full of blues after an hour long Arah run, I say kitten on that. I will run with full MF and get green and yellow.

However MF doesn’t even work on Chests. So really it doesn’t help there.

This is another reason I’m not a fan of MF in Dungeons. Take CoF path 1, 2 Mobs that can drop loot, Boss that drops loot, Mobs that everyone skips, respawning mobs that don’t drop loot, boulders, respawning mobs that don’t drop loot, final boss that drops loot.. So in a CoF path 1 run. 2 bosses and 2 mobs in the whole run that can drop loot, is that really worth the drop in stats.

And it’s similar in a lot of the dungeons. There are places that MF is useful. Dredge Trash, Ascalonian Streets, The mobs on the way to the Maw. Almost everywhere else I would say it’s completely pointless.

The only dungeons I ever really run are fractals up to lvl 30 because of the reasons you just listed. I used Arah as an example only cause it probably has the worst time invested/rewards ratio due to it’s lengthy paths, though there is quite a few trash mobs in Arah. They say that MF doesn’t affect chests but the content of the chest is determined when you kill. So wouldn’t having MF at that point in time affect the contents of the chest? Just a thought. Anet has never been clear about it that aspect of it and until they tell me otherwise I will continue to think that it does.

If you did not specify in LFG that you didn’t want MF gear in your party then to bad for you, I will be wearing it. If the run goes smoothly I’will keep it on, if it looks like the group’s struggling I will change gear to help carry the weak link (I hate bad runs too). If you did not specify in LFG that you did not want MF in your party and then ask me to ping my gear after I have joined I will ping you my non MF set. Do the run and when it is over and you are saying good job, great run, I will ping you my awesome drops and my MF gear and leave.

You realize, of course, that your example of you being a lying kitten illustrates why advertising NO MF doesn’t work, right?

I you specifiy that you don’t want MF I will respect that either not join your group or not wear my MF gear. I am not a total kitten, but if get a chance to troll an elitist prick because he/she did not say what he/wanted up front when he/she advertise, I will not pass up the opportunity.

Yeah, but the very fact that you can lie like you did shows why asking for NO MF doesn’t work. There is no way to actually verify it because kittens like you can lie about it.

To be fair, and while I wouldn’t do what she does, I contend that the real “kitten” is the player that didn’t specify that they didn’t want any MF gear in the group, and then proceeded to ask her to ping her gear to “investigate” whether she does. In that way, she’s being “kitten to a kitten”, if you will.

And would it be any different if she had done the same thing to someone who said NO MF in the LFG? According to plenty of people in this thread, they’re being discriminatory elitist kittens for saying that, and so kitten to a kitten is perfectly justified.
What it boils down to is she is a lying kitten lying for the sake of being a kitten to people who want to be informed. And as it stands no one can know otherwise.
As for why it demonstrates why NO MF doesn’t work, not only can you lie about it and never be found out, but kittens like her may actually join it BECAUSE they said they didn’t want it.

She didn’t do that, though, so you are accusing her for being a “kitten” she isn’t-just based on past experiences with perhaps “true kittens”, which she doesn’t seem to be.

If I asked for a casual speedrun, and then asked for your Berserker’s gear, how silly would that be? To be honest, showing them the “zerk” gear and then using Cleric’s wouldn’t be much different than what she did to them-“en eye for an eye” treatment.

Would I do it? No, I generally leave groups once they question my gear, even if I have what they require of me.

The seed of the problem is still there, and present in many people: spite. She did that out of spite towards the person who didn’t advertise that they were going to gear check. Plenty of other people would be willing to take it a little further and join one listed as NO MF and link real gear out of spite for people who don’t like MF.
And there’s no real way to verify if someone is telling the truth.

You are right, there is no way of knowing. I guess you just have to trust that people are decent enough to respect your choice in party makeup. Personally, I wish Anet would have just given us a decent loot table and not have to use MF at all. I hate using it, but I hate kittenty drops even more. I would prefer to use all combat stats on my gear but Anets idea of a good reward is a chest full of blues after an hour long Arah run, I say kitten on that. I will run with full MF and get green and yellow.

PsiNorm.3652:

Those arguing that mf gear in groups is not selfish are trolls, getting under your skin. There’s no way they believe their foolish comments. Just relax and watch them flail.

I’m not saying it’s not a selfish stat. It is, but just because some people choose to run sub-optimal build does not mean they are not contributing to the group and that they are being carried by the rest or leeching off others. If they can stay alive and do some damage and the job gets done, where is the kittening problem? It’s not a job where you have to fill a monthly quota in order to get paid and 1 guy is slacking off. It’s a kittening game.

If you did not specify in LFG that you didn’t want MF gear in your party then to bad for you, I will be wearing it. If the run goes smoothly I’will keep it on, if it looks like the group’s struggling I will change gear to help carry the weak link (I hate bad runs too).

Do the run and when it is over and you are saying good job, great run, I will ping you my awesome drops and my MF gear and leave.

So if I equip my Warrior in full clerics gear with a mace main hand and put all my traits in toughness/vitality to maximize my survivability with all of my skills to help me and me only will I be contributing more to the party that if was wearing MF gear?

All these arguments about MF gear being inferior than other gear are ridiculous. Gear does not make the player. It’s not as if dungeons are hard. I run with guildies and we all have full exotic MF gear on and get through them just fine. So our CoF path 1 took 10 mins instead of 8 or 5, big kittening deal.

If you don’t want MF in your party then specify it on LFG when assembling your team or build a circle of MF hating friends and run dungeons with them and quit running with pugs.

I don’t know you, you are not my friend, I don’t owe you anything more than a smooth run. Whatever gear I choose to do that with is my business and if I can provide that smooth run in my MF gear then you have nothing to complain about

I would prefer to have imbued MF on my DPS gear and run it all the time than put on my MF gear and kitten my char. Just make impossible to imbue Traveler/Explorer/Wayfarer so that people don’t start abusing it. You would have to increase the value of the infusions since my current gear has about 120MF without the weapons. Make it 10MF max per piece. 6 armor + 6 trinkets = 120MF.

Personally I don’t like the idea of sharing MF with the group. How selfish of you to leech off of my stats that I worked hard to get. If you want MF get your own MF gear. I do like the infusion idea. I would gladly recycle/sell my current MF gear to be able to infuse my normal gear (or have a merchant exchange MF gear for equivialnt MF infusions). I also like the idea of unlocking traits similar to WXP in order to get MF. This would be the best way to go since those stats would be independent of whatever armor I choose to wear so if I change my build I don’t have to worry losing my MF.

Alternatively to you could get Shoulders, Chest, Gloves, and Legs from Melandru temple. Boots from Lyssa temple, and AC dungeon (think its AC) Helm for a full PVT set. Then just put the runes you want on it.

This is Healing Shout, Hammer-A/Shield build that I occasionally use in WvW and sometimes PvE (I prefer more zerk in PvE). It can tank quit a bit with decent regen and good condition removal while still having some good Burst. Don’t do much PvP so can’t really say how it would hold up there.

http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/warrior/?8.0|2.1g.hm|7.1g.h2.e.1g.hd|1c.7x.1c.7x.1c.7x.1c.7x.1c.7x.1c.7x|2s.0.2s.0.3s.0.2v.0.3v.0.2s.0|0.a4.k6a.u18c.a4|1k.7|5x.6b.69.6g.6m|e

If you want to farm some badges in WvW switch out Axe/Shield for long bow and leg specialist for stronger bowstrings. If you don’t like the healing signet swap it out for the heal of your choice and trade in the mango pie for power food.

I find Hammer synergises well with tank builds

I would not call GW2 trash. It has some really good things going for it. Unfortunately making money and getting decent drops are not one of those things and that is enough for me to think about moving on to something more rewarding. I hate RNG, I am not a gambler and sadly this game is full of it and it ruins the experience for me. I ran 300+ fractals before ever getting a skin, I didn’t mind cause Fractals were worth the time back then (before the ninja nerf which supposedly never happened) while a fellow guildy got one on his first lvl20 run. That just seems broken and discouraging and I wish that would change. BTW they still haven’t fixed the stupid Krait getting stuck in the ceiling of the underwater level.

All ranting aside, it is their game and they can do what the want with it. They already took my money so why should they care about what I want? Anet is a business and businesses don’t make games for fun. They do it for profit, so if you feel that all the changes are leading to using the cash sop you are probably right.

I agree that the RNG is a kitten and Anet’s obsession with nerfing anything that can make you money or t6 mats, except CoF path1, is slowly driving my interest in the game into the ground. I like the game, I spent 1000 hrs on it so far but I am at the point now where I don’t see the point of playing it anymore cause everything I do gets rewarded with kitten that ain’t worth the time I put into it. Who the heck wants to farm grind the same dungeon over and over and over just to be able to purchase stuff that you should be able to drop. Patiently waiting out the release of another great MMO.

Wait farming is driving your interest in the game to the ground or the lack of? You can stop farm you know and try other things. By the sound of it if you got every thing you wanted off the first run of things you would of quit the game already because you would of had every thing.
This is a major problem with the player base we have been trained to work for the next thing to the point where skins have become the next thing skins that where made to take months to get. Once we work out that we cant get them in a week we rage quit. This game is not about progression or should i say meaningful progression its about playing with other ppl to do something. This IS what a sand box game does and other up and coming mmorpg will be like this or the old mmorpg way of endless progression.

I don’t want to farm, I am being forced to to pay for all the Gold sinks in WvW. When I lead I easily spend 3-4 g a night in siege and upgrades. I used to have some good money making spots but they all got nerfed. I’m down to running CoF 1 cause that is the only thing that is worth the time versus reward. I got 2 alts on the way up to 80 and no kittening mats to craft their armor cause 1. they don’t kittening drop worth kitten 2. the ones I do drop I have to sell to pay for WvW. I couldn’t care less about the skins. Temple Karma gear looks just fine for me I just want to be able to equip my Alts with decent gear and have enough to pay for WvW without wasting hours upon hours farming the kittentiest dungeon run in all the game.

You alone should not be upgrading every thing. It sounds like your world (unknowingly) taking advantages of you. Ask some other ppl to foot the bill or at least ask your guild to help you pay for some upgrades if your guild is a wvw one.

Come to NSP and try to get someone to upgrade something or put down a piece of siege.. Most of the server is preoccupied with their precious legendaries but that is beside the point. The point is that we are slowly getting all gold making options taken away cause some people like to farm and Anet doesn’t want us too.

I agree that the RNG is a kitten and Anet’s obsession with nerfing anything that can make you money or t6 mats, except CoF path1, is slowly driving my interest in the game into the ground. I like the game, I spent 1000 hrs on it so far but I am at the point now where I don’t see the point of playing it anymore cause everything I do gets rewarded with kitten that ain’t worth the time I put into it. Who the heck wants to farm grind the same dungeon over and over and over just to be able to purchase stuff that you should be able to drop. Patiently waiting out the release of another great MMO.

Wait farming is driving your interest in the game to the ground or the lack of? You can stop farm you know and try other things. By the sound of it if you got every thing you wanted off the first run of things you would of quit the game already because you would of had every thing.
This is a major problem with the player base we have been trained to work for the next thing to the point where skins have become the next thing skins that where made to take months to get. Once we work out that we cant get them in a week we rage quit. This game is not about progression or should i say meaningful progression its about playing with other ppl to do something. This IS what a sand box game does and other up and coming mmorpg will be like this or the old mmorpg way of endless progression.

I don’t want to farm, I am being forced to to pay for all the Gold sinks in WvW. When I lead I easily spend 3-4 g a night in siege and upgrades. I used to have some good money making spots but they all got nerfed. I’m down to running CoF 1 cause that is the only thing that is worth the time versus reward. I got 2 alts on the way up to 80 and no kittening mats to craft their armor cause 1. they don’t kittening drop worth kitten 2. the ones I do drop I have to sell to pay for WvW. I couldn’t care less about the skins. Temple Karma gear looks just fine for me I just want to be able to equip my Alts with decent gear and have enough to pay for WvW without wasting hours upon hours farming the kittentiest dungeon run in all the game.

….HHUUUGHGHHHH….

Did you just …

Did you just…really say that spamming a heal whenever it is up is /viable?/’

Tired of people coming in and trolling my threads.

I ain’t trolling your thread. I agree that HS needs some TLC. Just don’t want to make us into a Super Bunker that nobody can kill and that everyone cries about or a Glass Cannon with insane regen cause Glass Cannons should die easily, it’s a choice they made went they went glass.

Of course you only use the active when you need it and if y.ou need it several times in a row due to heavy fire (mainly WvW experience here) then by all means spam the kitten out of it. The big problem with HS is that the active sucks kitten It doesn’t burst heal enough to get you out of a trouble since it gives you less HPS than the passive so in theory you end up dying faster if you use it. If you didn’t lose the passive when activating it you would get that small burst to get you out of a jam without sacrificing your regen which would probably make it viable. Especially with a high toughness tank build with decent condition removal.

Having the healing signet passive not lose its effect when it gets activated would probably make it viable without any increase to passive or active.

The Elementalist one heals three times more and has that feature already with a trait.

Please stop comparing to other classes. They have different mechanics, play styles, and challenges. Compare it to other heals for our class.

Let refer to the chart on the previous page.

272 hps : Healing Surge w/ 3 Adrenaline: 8,440 / 31 = 272 … and fill adrenaline
221 hps : Healing Surge w/ 2 Adrenaline: 6,840 / 31 = 221 … and fill adrenaline
214 hps : Mending: 5,560 / 26 = 214 … and remove conditions
192 hps : Healing Signet w/ Trait: 3,320 / 17.25 = 192 … and 200 hps passive
190 hps : Healing Surge w/ 1 Adrenaline: 5,880 / 31 = 190 … and fill adrenaline
169 hps : Healing Surge w/ 0 Adrenaline: 5,240 / 31 = 169 … and fill adrenaline
156 hps : Healing Signet w/o Trait: 3,320 / 21.25 = 156 … and 200 hps passive

If you didn’t lose the passive when activating the signet you would get 392hps if you spammed it continuously when traited. Not only is it viable but might even be OP when compared to healing surge which is by far our best heal.

I don’t mind the cast times. I think they good the way they are.

- 1 adding a condition (preferably stun or cripple) to the 3rd strike would be awesome although it might make it OP. Maybe a 33 or 66% to cause stun or cripple would be better.

-2 fine the way it is

- 3 great the way it is

- 4 the fact that it roots you makes it useless anywhere but PvE where mobs stand still waiting to be knocked back. Please make this usable while running.

- 5 fine the way it is

F1 has some issues with missing due to uneven ground which hopefully gets fixed but other than that it is a great burst.

Having the healing signet passive not lose its effect when it gets activated would probably make it viable without any increase to passive or active.

I started a post like this a few months ago and really hope Anet will pay attention to this one. This game desperately needs more armor and weapon variety. Making weapons Dye-able would go a long way into creating some of that diversity.

I would love to have a sigil/rune removal tool. It would make experimenting with new builds and gear a lot less costly cause I would be able to remove the said sigils/runes and resell without destroying my gear if I don’t like them.
