arent we allowed to critisize or however its spelled
my opinion however arenanet shouldve just said 16th standard on the patch instead of giving false hopes
whatever not much we can do
no need to get aggresive bluewanders i mostly get annoyed when people complain on What Anet change like adding ascalon armor and things
but i mean this would be an easy fix for them just Think ahead 15th? hm put another 24hours just to be sure or 17th instead of 15th and Ah we stressed to mcuh thats wrong it will be delayed til 16th or 17th
No thanks.
We have 5/6 weapins,all with basically melee functions…and you ask for an hammer?another melee???
If u like hammer,just play the useless toolkit guys,it’s only a different aestetics,but still the *nth melee weapon we have.
Instead of this,wouldn’t you like a SERIUS long range kit?I don’t mean an elixir gun that does 250 dmg + useless bleed (if you are setted power and crit elixir gun at long range really suck) , but i mean a FULL long range kit, base 1200 range without any passive,that can deal at least 500 BASE dmg , with 5 LONG RANGE weapons skill….not just a long range auto attack like our rifle…
Ye and with trait 1500 that would be nice but if not Throw your idea back in the trash
Excuse me? Rifles lack main hand damage? You are aware that engineers are capable of dropping 12k crits with a rifle build. also, kits don’t scale with stats. Their damage is naturally inferior unless it’s traited grenades.
Seriously.
That 1) complaint isn’t even gameplay-changing. It’s an aesthetic that you personally don’t agree on.
Warrior’s rifle skills are terrible. They lack the control that Engineer skills have, as well as the versatility. If you want a bland, direct-damage ranged weapon then you should be playing a warrior.
i agree didnt like warrior rifle AT ALL
engineers rifle is good now
but i have to ask..
12k? what kinda rifle build is this? i do 1,7k MAX right now with hip shot and jump shot do total around 3 – 4k 2.3k overcharged shot 1,7k blunderbuss
chaos storm? the 35sec cd with small area targeting and insanelously low dmg the paralyzed idiots need to stand in the Very very small cricle in 3seconds to get some conditions on them wont even work on sieges
even if he had frenzy even if he had an huge brain damage even if he had no defense let us assume that
that is still huge dmg though
can anyone ACTULLY Confirm doing 18k+ on Spvp on someone (i dont care if the other dude is specced for full dmg and no defense ) he should have a chance to ‘’ one hit ’’ you also then
easiest to kill? stealth and run unless you would dive in a AEO Zerg off several ppl then you will probly die in seconds
How come when you got the CoE Meedium shoulder then equip the Chest the shoulder disapear? ( visual ) when i preview the items the shoulder just POOF when i preview the chest is it suppos to be like this or?
It does have one major benefit over the grenade kit, and that is that it gets treated as an actual siege weapon.
That means it has some benefits and some disadvantages aside from the range.
The first is that it does not require line of sight to its target like grenades do. You don’t have to stick your head over a rampart in WvW to nail a location.
The second advantage and first disadvantage are related. It doesn’t combat flag you or your target by itself. That means if you aren’t combat flagged you can regen hp. The bad part is so does your target unless someone else has him in combat.
The third advantage is that retaliation procs damage the mortar and not you. However, since you can’t heal the mortar and its got substantially less hp than you, this can also be a problem.
The fourth advantage is the hilariously strong knock-back on number 5. I really would like to see what several coordinated mortars could do to a group trying to siege gate.
ye it does have some benefits though i still think the NR 1 should be Little stronger
