Message customer support,
I’m sure they can send you some free gear. Be sure to ask for a legendary or two while you are at it.
What if jennah and Anise were the Lyssa twins ;-)
Well let’s see,
30sec drop the hammer
20sec warding rift
20sec renewing wave
30sec surge of the mists
20sec unrelenting assault
30sec crystal hibernation
What you ask is to be the ultimate ranged profession, but it is not revs job. Hammer is ok except the camera bug. Hammer 2 is more powerful than any other ranged attack in my opinion. Other skills are ok ish. Problem is legends themselves.
not ultimate just par with other range weapon.
hammer 2 i just add cripple to it.even if they fix all legends hammer still wont be usable
I use hammer exclusively for wvw and non-raid pve.
and i want it to pvp aswell …
You can/I have, but I’m not really sure why you would use hammer over sword/x & staff.

Thread title should be
" I play Condi reaper and I think smashing buttons to put 50 bleeds on everything in 360 radius is legit balance. Here I pretend I’m magically good enough at game, because I finnaly got buffed by anet, to tell you to get good"
But it was too long for title.
Phase Smash procing field of the mists would be nice.
Drop the hammer causing chill would be cool.
Hammer/staff rev is like a staff ele with daredevil attacking evades and dh blocking. Hardly something to complain about.
The necromancer wells are simply better.
How does that happen? Boon corruption?
You cannot just mindlessly facetank conditions and depend on resistance from start to end of engagement. You still need to be removing them or the second resistance drops you will explode.
Hammer is slow so you want to nearly always crit.
For leveling,
Unlock assassin stance (shiro) and the invocation trait line. Select traits that give fury.
Use runes of the citadel and/or rage for fury.
Use sigils of perception and accuracy.
Once you have everything unlocked I recommend going with glint and another stance of your choice. Run either berserker gear or marauders with strength runes and sigil of force/bloodlust. Your food/utility buffs will vary depending on your gear stat choice but generally a food with boon duration is best and the utility will be either precision for berserkers or power for marauders. Staff generally makes the best swap weapon for hammer due to it’s utility.

didn’t realize distortion stacked.
It strikes,
Small damage -> Medium damage -> Large damage
on a timed cascade. It is 3 sepperate attacks. I’m not sure but I think it’s 5 targets per each packet for a total of 15 possible strikes spread over 15 unique foes, similar to Berserker’s Scorched Earth longbow burst skill.An enemy can only be struck by this ability once per unique cast. Because it cascades it is possible to get two strike checks on the ending/leading edges of 2 packets. This was causing huge damage so it was fixed to only strike once with a hidden cooldown of some sort preventing a second strike. I imagine it functions similar to fire aura’s 1sec cooldown per unique attacker.
For example,
I occasionally cast CoR while blinded and I both miss and strike with a single cast.Thanks to those of you who cleared this up for me. The wording on this is very misleading. I was thinking this was going to be the mains source of dps for this build. Seems lackluster now.
I’m kind of wishing I hadn’t purchased the Heart of Thorns upgrade now. After reading this forum, I’ll probably go back to my engineer or ranger. It’s too bad, because I like the idea of the play mechanics of the Rev. But if it can’t perform, it’s pointless.
Hammer rev isn’t good DPS. It’s ok ranged DPS but mostly it’s for ranged spike. The best places to use it are probably solo pve (because ranged cleaving DPS) and WvW for heavy ranged cleaving spike.

I thought SoR was EU lol.
Next expansion will be a single raid with a 30min timer in wizards tower. New armor is a reskin of starter gear.
Norn female,
If you are going to be targeted at least be noticed!
I would prefer to just change imobilize on dagger 3 to criple one target and axe 3 to aoe imobilize. Thats what i meant on my comment above.
Why trash dagger to super buff axe?
Why trash axe to improve dagger?
Shouldn’t really be buying siege with badges either.
OMG if Lazarus is actually a human god… It would be sooooooooo cool
A human god would never take so much interest in humans.
Minus the whole Abaddon thing.
They could merge an open world pvp concept with a lvl 80 “hard mode” version concept instanced map.
So a giant hotjoin map with solo que upto a maximum of que 5 parties getting filtered to one of 2 sides with a 3rd npc faction. Balancing out the rewards would be tricky to promote pvp but also make the pve side rewarding enough to draw a solid amount of participation. Otherwise it ends up being EotM 2.0 or a WvW borderlands map but not wvw linked.
The reason I use it on my reaper is to stay topped off rather than trying to spam dodge. This sigil works on pve creatures in wvw as well as guard npc.
Maybe abaddon?!?!?
Why even make the other thread when you knew the answer already….
Looks more like 50g each.
Since you know what the wiki is you also can see that the answer is no.
That exists to some extent already, moas. And in LS 3 there have been other mechanics added to the new map foes to improve ai, scatter.
Still think a simpler balanced solution would be after ~7 seconds of not rallying a person in downed state should automatically die.
I have a sigil of stamina on my reapers axe and a sigil of energy on greatsword.
Ambient placeable NPC.
Maybe even duo and trio bundled together as a single decoration that do small talk conversations like in the cities.
I went roaming with lolhammer rev on BG BL for reset night. Was kind of disappointed. Was expecting more players.
At OCX I didn’t see any BG except a few roamers in EBG and a few in their bl. I did see a sea of SoS though…
A vid demonstrating why warriors will never get stealth ;-)
I remember in Aion I would setup my trade window like 5sec walk from the Auction House and sell Aether Potion things for 3x the price. Would come home from work cleaned out.
I was thinking this thread was about wvw decorations for guild hall and I was all excited by the idea.
They tried doing Living Story stuff in wvw and people freaked out. Toxic events. I think during winter’s day we get dolyak and siege projectile changes. And NNC always has holiday lights strung up.
Mesmer,
Temporal Curtain.
While scrapper runes would be great, you are losing damage on a build running 2 bunker lines right?
Ya asura pretty crazy looking.
It’s not healthy for the discussion to be deliberately obtuse. -_-
Insignias are a part of the armor-crafting process to get to 500, making Ascended gear available. Even for crafting Ascended gear, the Ascended insignia requires the Exotic one. Even getting a loot box from a fractal, conversion through the Forge requires an exotic insignia.
Kuu’s statement happens to drive home the point that the leather component is entirely too costly and affects the entire playerbase.
Too costly for whom?
Almost everyone, barring the top few percenters.
Every couple of months I sell 100-150g worth of leather I get from playing wvw to players with no patience. I have 5 characters in full ascended and have max all crafting, some even duplicates. I’m really not sure why leather is so expensive but it’s kind of nice for me to make some easy gold.
Who cares,
Go crazy and have fun.Completely crushing the other side with little/no resistance is no fun and neither is not being able to do anything vs overwhelming odds. I’m assuming you read only the title.
Not being able to do anything is a self pity lie.
In the 2 weeks hod fought mag I was playing solo on mags side of ebg while mag was spawn camping the “we can’t do anything” hod players. Talking capping towers/camps/sentries and then defending them for some good clean messy fun.
Who cares,
Go crazy and have fun.
You don’t buy leather off the tp. You salvage for it.
Alot of WP vids I open and close within 30sec. Lots of repetitive speculation with pretty much nothing to go on. Sometimes though I do like them.
I was going to say no to adding more blind spam but on a necro it might not be so bad. Get hit with cc and blind target, they miss follow up spike skill. I guess I’m just a little worried at how frequently a reaper could proc “dark aura”. Make it last only 2 seconds though. Just enough for a blind on foes at any range.
Making “dark aura” weaken though? No. Every freaking power class might aswell just uninstall game because of the condi reaper meta.
I mean if you cannot understand that frostgun is obviously exploited because it spams chill and deathly chill trait has no gate, how can I even simplify it more for anyone to understand.
Which funny enough should classify the current deathly chill wvw reapers the same with things like frost aura, frost whirling bolts, hydromancy sigil and so on.
Dude are you seriously trying to argue that Freezing Bolts and Frost Aura is a exploit?
Do you really think it was a accident that Reaper’s Shroud has it’s own ice field, whirl finisher, and leap finisher?
Of course not. I think the trait becomes exploited when people are taking any and all chills not for the chill, but strictly for bleed stacking.
Barbed aura, upto once per second per foe, when struck you place a stacking dot of 500 for 10sec. Barbed aura lasts 5 sec. Enemies also have reduced movement speed and skill recharge. Allied shared frost auras also apply barbed aura to you.
I mean lol…You don’t think there might be other reasons besides defensive support that auramancers and reapers are running strong together atm?
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out how fast and easy this trait will runaway effect. So fast and easy a simple pve toy can go from like 0k dps to 20k dps.
Another broken trait is probably permeating wrath. Get a burn guard and put a wall of reflection between two pewpewing zergs and watch your monitor start on fire.
Deathly chill and permeating wrath are two traits that are poorly designed and destined to be exploited.
Then every freaking environmental object that does bleed, poison, any condition that can be buffed from a trait is an exploit.
Its kittening called synergy. It was this thing they had i GW1. Not carebears2
It isn’t the synergy, it’s the absurdity of the synergy. No one can defend 100-150 bleed stacks as legitimate play.

this^
the current Anet is a farcry from the brilliant guys who made GW1,
things like 55hp monks which utilised spells to become borderline immortal would be considered exploiting by these fakers, these shadows of Anet.they should be encouraging people to find fun and unique synergies.
Yes because gw1 anet never ever nerfed things like,
Shadow form
Holy wrath
Spell breaker
RoJ
Protective bond
Spirit bond
Sliver armor
Ursan form
It is an exploit. Using the frost gun to do unreasonable amounts of damage by indirect means. Which funny enough should classify the current deathly chill wvw reapers the same with things like frost aura, frost whirling bolts, hydromancy sigil and so on.
So is it the frost gun being exploited or is it a poorly designed trait being exploited? That is the real question.
just make WvW able to get ascended armor like sPvP can.
You’d have to be a fool to consider sPvP a viable method for acquiring ascended. The current ascended gear is sPvP is both just as expensive to acquire and requires even more grinding than standard crafting.
The best acquisition method for ascended is raids.
Followed by wvw where they free drop on occasion.
Lols. Ascended drops less often than Xmas, and that at least comes around once a year.
I’ve had 3 so far this year. Another 7 months to go.
You really should bind your heal of all skills. Clicking it is like adding on a 1/2sec worth of cast time.
It would be nice to be able to change stats on Ascended Rings, Accessories and Amulet like you can on Ascended Armor and Weapons because I have so many of these that are the same stats and very useless and clogging up my bank bags.
If I vendor them it is only worth a few silver.
Then use ascended salvage kits and salvage them?
Make sure that for rings you at least attune them before salvaging, if you have the materials, infuse as well. The reason for this is, that when attuned and infused, each gives an extra roll on the salvage, giving you more chances for more Stabilizing Matrices, which sell well.
Cool ty for info.
Op,
There would be little reason to even make stat change a thing on random ring drops because rings of choice are already easy to get. And it comes down to ratio of rings you have and ultimately how many of those you could actually put to use. It’s likely you will always have more rings than you could ever need so you might aswell salvage them regardless.
