And how does it work blasting a water area for heal? Is valuable heal or what? I never understood this and how does it work with healng power?
As the title, anyone tryed the healer role? Any good build?
i hope the raid will be no long as hell, i mean, i’d like to have multiple istance but with less duration instead one istance of 5 hours (also if is possible do it splitted) because if there is no organized guild/party with different istance, you can play it with different teammate, otherwise you should pray the same party u done the first part will be avalaible for tomorrow and the day after
any info about this situation?
If you have any question just ask
Hi all usually alot of ppl do stuff during the night, but i have a job and i cant play during the night, so i’m lf guild or players who will play from 17 till 22 pm CET
write here or contact me ingame
imho problem with temperst is overload, because it hold you doing nothing, when u activate it you do less dmg, less support, less everything, and it also increase the CD, imho it should work like shout, maybe less powerfull, but more istant, elementalist gameplay is always something like a pianist, faster, dinamics, now is like a dead, click and wait for ages
i hope they will change it before hot release something like:
when u are on attument after 5 seconds you can overload it w/o change the cd of this attument with this effect:
fire: firewave, it explote a wave of fire around you granting 5 stack of might 1 stack of burning on enemies on radious for 3 sec and doing some dmg
air: same as now w/o follow you, with istant effect
water: heal you and ally in a radius of 300 for X life
heart: hard as a rock, grant 7 sec of stability and 5 of protection
if something should be too strong, nerf it, the point is i dont wanna increase coldown and i dont wanna be unable to use skils when i overload the attunement
this is a big issue inside gw2 dungeons, so i hope designer worked also on this
less speed clear, more tactics and role
for example some bosses who:
_will take double dmg if no one is on 600 radious of player (so player cant stack)
_need to be cc every few seconds or he doesent take dmg
_it take dmg only from ranged attack, and he come to you, so a tank can kite him away from party, and healer can hold him up, and another one can hold the rest of the party
i also think they should split pve from pvp, there is nothing wrong on it, really, we dont care to learn the same classes in pvp or pve playing differently, so you can balance all classes w/o freaking up a gamemode
the should rewrite how healing power works, because he have to scale better with the full hp gear, so everyone can play good this role
i’m curious how the raids will be, because is something i was lf since the game was released, i liked the vale guardian, also if i hope other encounters, will work differently, with more dmg over time, and less oneshot mechanics, so the healer will be more usefull, because the healer cant save anyone downed, so maybe more dmg over time should be nice for have someone who should really care only to mantain party alive
I d like to have simple ui for all the party so i m able as supporter to see boons and conditions on my ally
I d like to have the normal ui for raid for be able to see the life bar and boons and conditions
overload an attunement its just a big loss, i think it should work as a shout, something happen istantly, and you can keep doing other stuff
why should i increase my attunement recharge rate for have nothing? if i’m in water and i wanna heal i will not click f2, i will dodge (evasive arcana) i will use my water skils, then i go another attunement and i do something else, and then i come back to water for dodge again and redo the healing skills, why i should be stock in an overloading doing be able to doing nothing in the meantime, and then i can go back on this attunement only after 17 seconds, same for dmg role
u can also see the pool, and forum topic, tempest is the worst specialization u made, the concept is nice, the developer has an awesome idea, really, but doesent it works, for be more practice you should active the overload as a shout, click and something happens, w/o the 17 seconds for be ready to back on this attunement, maybe make something less stronger, or give a separate CD to overload, i can make only one overload every 20 sec, so we cant spam it, but as elementalist, i will not wanna be pushed out an attunement for too much time, and as a player i dont wanna wait all the time the animation/effect of overload w/o be able to doing anything
Why did u need this stuff if is all temporany?
Agree with linfang
No one force u to raid if u dont like harder content, no one force u to get ascended gear, just do something else for one year then go on youtube and look how to do it naked
Pretty easy
I hope ascended will be REQUIRED for higher wings, and even with full ascended will be harder, because when u fail once twice etc etc isnt beauty, but when u do the “impossible” the sensation is awesome.
This game has too many noobs stuff, grind maps, 1111111 on boss etc etc… I’m ok with this variety is ever the best way, but this game need something really hard, and i hope raids will be
And spirit shard is used for?
For the luck is depending what they r usefull for, till now i ve just used for account luck, i just hope they will not be required for something important otherwise will be necessary other bank slots to save another stuff
hi everyone i have some little requests for improve the game or make it better
1) clickwars2
this game need less click, or you should include a new mouse with the next expansion
pls allow to collect all luck with a right click or when we salvage something give us the luck directly to the account
champ boxes/bags too many clicks, open a champ box, you found stuff and bags, double click it again, go to salvage items and salvage useless stuff for refine material… i think it should be reworked
2) tome of knowledge, i have stacks of this, could u pls make it usefull for something else of levelling? you already demostrate (like ascended rings or other stuff) in this game is better dont delete anything because someday should be usefull, but the bank space cry, i buy new slots but the bank keep crying… now its turn of tome to have other utility, should be nice for masteries imho
3) fractal skins, ppl like me who have done fractals alot of time have in bank duplicate skins, could u make it sellable? i dont wanna be rich (yes i want but i dont ask it for this reason) i will be happy to sell it to vendor in exchange of something else (something usefull)
I saw alot of ele stuff nerfed, i undersood the dmg nerfing but i d like to se some healing buff, with the new content and new role i d like to have a conjure weapon like icebow with a ton of healing stuff like the druid have, it feels weak compared to druid, so should be nice put some healing buff with this dmg nerf for compensate the nerf
I m exited to be able to play all the classes using all their potentiality, for be usefull at party, different purpose and role will give alot of fun and make everytime we will do the content a new way to play it.
Alot of elitist will write (they already do) against this because they think only with speed run they can prove to be a pro, but the FUN is more important, who care about of your “pro videos” where u skip everythink and hugs the corner.
For the others who are scared about “waiting” they didnt really saw how every classes can switch role faster then other game, with the same character u can be a dps or a tank or supporter in 2 min, so group with your guild, friends or pug then if u need a certain role just change a trait and skils (maybe armor but are really cheap) in 60 second u done and u can play.
I feel amazing this new way to play gw2 because if u wanna do fullzerkcornerspeedmetapowa u can stil do all the content we already have, if u wanna explore something new you can do raid and high lvl fractal.
Have a choice is always amazing, and this time i think anet turned his game in the best mmo ever made, fun for everyone, casual, hardcore and speedrunner
Personally i was missing hard content and raiding i played in other games, now music is changed and i feel happy to prepurchased HOT ad d1
So thank you Anet
So i can spent mastery point once for every time i full my xp bar… This is so boring imho i d like to spend points i have w/o waiting to do events i dnt wanna do :/
so i have just to wait?
i have 2 unspent points i’ve selected the gliding stuff but i cant upgrade it, why? how doesit work?
@imso
BlackBerry won, Nokia won etc etc…. now they r crashed…. things change
i understand keep DX is easyest for ANET, this topic is a little start for why they should change, if they will make a new engine, for an expansion or gw3/4 etc, they will have alot of work to do in any case, they should choose something else, i understood DX is easy, but other options should improve Platform and playerbase, and is a big spot for them be the first AAA mmorpg supporting Linux, and supporting players, all of them, they should also talk with valve for some kind of economic support, something like halo for xbox etc etc
@ansau
i use firefox with noscript, disconnect, wot, ublock and quick and clean
@jedy
you write “Anet records everything we do ingame and even chat lots etc!! What do you have to say about that?” and u call me troll? lolIt’s FACT and I’m not trolling you at all, If you paid any attention to any of the info Anet puts out Anet has said many times they record everything we do in game.
you trolling because no one write personal info inside the chat, as everyone do as his computer….
This has nothing to do with anyone writing personal info in chat and that doesn’t dissmiss the fact Anet records everything we do ingame.
Go watch this and I dare you to call me a troll afterwards http://gdcvault.com/play/1016640/Guild-Wars-2-Programming-the
In the video the Dev says they record everything and they even collect everyone computer specs.
omg who care about? so they know i love quaggans and they know my pc specification? who care i will wrote this stuff here
i love quaggan and asura, my pc is i7 2600 and i have nvidia 970
who care? this is not the kind of data i wanna keep for my self, is my photo, my browsing data, my personal mail….

You cant disable some stuff on home edition, and something in the pro version too, isnt about knowledge on OS…
Ofc i wanna a better gw2 gw3 etc, for this reason i suggest vulkan, google it, it will give the same enhanchement of dx12…
Btw gw2 have the best graphic u can find in any mmo even with dx11, the real improvement with an highter dx or vulkan is the optimization on draw call but ofc u also need an 64bit client…
Btw i dont think they will upgrade this on gw2, and onestly i dont care too much because i think is more important if/when they will make a new engine they will not do that on dx12, because win 10 is the worst os made by microsoft, no privacy, no a complete control on your pc, i dont like it, and with vulkan intead of dx the game should be compatible also with linux.
You should akso google vulkan vs dx12 someone say is even better
Sure you can. it just takes a little work is all.
Use this site’s suggestions – no more problems.
and another
https://4sysops.com/archives/disable-windows-update-in-windows-10/
no more holes…..
DX12 runs faster and makes GW2 look EVEN BETTER.
did u read it? for example for one setting
“Choosing “Basic” will keep the amount of random data sent to Microsoft to a minimum”
minimum? what? i want NOTHING not minimum, what minimum doesent means? the most important private data or what? no one can answer, so no thanks
DX12 is not the only way for make this game (and the next) better there is a world over the DX12 with the same power
@jedy
you write “Anet records everything we do ingame and even chat lots etc!! What do you have to say about that?” and u call me troll? lol
@dustymoon
i’ve already wrote i have a modify version of android, and i’ve already spoke about dx12 alternative, like vulkan…
before posting pls read all the topic, i dont wanna answer everytime to the same stuff, and after a while someone tell me i should go inside the cave, and then i will reply back how u can use the tecnology w/o be spyed….
i have another consideration, i dont understand why some of u wrote so badly about my post, i’m not saying anet have to make his game with dx9 for the next 100 years, and i didnt want convince you to dont use win 10, i’m just talkin about OPTIONS, this means if they want they can make something will work also on Linux, or they can avoid the DX for the future, and this doesent means the game will be orrible, as i told there is a world out of DX so the game will be for sure BETTER
anet game designer are awesome, they made a dx9 game looking better than all dx11 mmo game i ever see, so this is not only about tecnology
there is alot of engine, like unreal, cryengine, unity etc etc, it sound like i say "hey dont use unreal, try cryengine, and all of u tell me you dont wanna cryengine because u wanna a better graphic… same here, DX is not the only way!!!!
As others have said, everything you use collect’s information about you. Most of the time you can’t opt out, so I’m guessing you don’t use facebook, don’t have a smart phone, don’t use steam/origin etc.
And don’t use a credit/debit card…
OP: while there are some concerns regarding windows 10, it is by no means the biggest/most important threat to your privacy around here. Singling it out the way you do only makes you blind to all the others.
If you are have something against windows 10, don’t install it, but if you are concerned about privacy, then don’t limit yourself to single system, that is not even the worst offender.
i’m not say to everyone to dont install win 10, do it, i dont care, the purpose of this topic is not against MS, i have nothing against them, they r like others company, they have to make money, my topic is about DX12 and why i’m asking if is possible for the future if ANET will make their game also for Linux, or if they will use something like vulkan avalaible for older Windows version too
this is not the only issue, look the pictures i’ve posted or lf privacy issue on the web….
People like you are making a bigger deal out of nothing and if you would read http://windows.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/preview-privacy-statement it’s not all that bad as you trying to make it out too be.
lol
r u really look the ms website for know if they spy u? try to ask NSA if they are spying ppl, and they say NO even with the snowden files….
if u wanna use win10, facebook etc etc i’m not telling dont use it, its your life, u can do all you want, but dont be blind trusting on anything
ITT: People who think microsoft collecting random data is a crime. Just go to your privacy settings, turn everything you don’t want off and done.
The bigger issue with Windows 10 is that they seem to have killed the idea of turning off windows update or choosing not to install certain updates. That is actually the only real issue I have with windows 10 right now.
this is not the only issue, look the pictures i’ve posted or lf privacy issue on the web….
Is ridicoulus when i read ppl say you cant do anything because all tecnology have no privacy because you are wrong.
Linux is free
For the research instead google you can use disconnect me search
For the phone u can use a rom like cyanogen without the google apps and othther apps will require infos with some app you can delete the access apps will require, and with a firewall you can block the internet acces to app you dont wanna go out
About facebook whats up i dont really need it i write mail sms and call to my friends and when we r all together we r not spending our time like robots on the smartphone like alot of ppl do!
So you dont have to live in a cavern, you just need to turn on your brain and change, and ppl around you will do the same when they will see how easy are make those change
I m human and i dont give up because some lobby want it, i have a brain and i use it… If you dont care about yourself its only your fault not tecnology or something else, this is the reason of this topic if only one of you will start to think different (not like apple) and start to care about privacy i will “win” and if anet will make a future game or expansion not dependant from MS skynet 10 i will very very happy, because the world need to change and this change have to start from normal ppl like us and little but good company like anet
See actual evidence that huge company is spying on people? Post a tinfoil hat pic!
It’s not spying if you tell people about it.
Wi-Fi Sense only works if your contacts/friends get within range of your wireless network and you can switch it off.
Cortana, to do her job as your personal assistant needs access to your calendar, e-mail, contacts, searches, etc. I got the creeps when Google started suggesting news articles, posted reminders when the cable bill was due, pointed out where my car was parked, etc. but actually it’s more helpful than creepy now.
Diagnostics and Feedback? You mean like how GW2 sends knows your system’s configuration or how every crash report from any software captures that data. My anti-virus and firewall sends back data to their mothership.
You are complaining about Windows Defender? It’s better than not having any Antivirus/anti malware product at all running. Install a 3rd party solution and it stays off.
Again with Wi-Fi sense and yes they don’t need to ask you for access because you already are using their product, it’s in their database already. You expect to use Skype but not expect them to know who you use it with? That’s like expecting the phone company not to know who you call.
I take it that this is Edge? That’s no different how any browser works nowadays.
I’m pretty sure the tin foil hat is appropriate because it isn’t an issue whether they are “spying” on you but the assumption that this information will only be used for “evil” rather than providing you with a better, safer, more useful environment.
sorry man, but this is the spotlight, the truth is different, but i dont wanna change your mind, you have your idea i have mine
FOR DEVS
i’d like to know from a dev if is too much difficult or expensive develop with vulkan (or another free engine) the next engine you will make for gw2/3/4 instead dx11/12/20 or make also a Linux client… i dont wanna know if u will do it (ok i’d like to know but i know u cant reply) i will apreciate just a tecnical reply from someone who really know what we r talking about because is your job
i really hoping to have a reply on this, just tecnical, i dont wanna give you truble with your boss
you know there isnt really a secure rom for android that blocks everything out… because open source doesnt work like that…
I use win10 on my rig, no issues, VPN’s are a godsend, f-secure is a nice anti malware/virus (the chief researcher has some nice TED talks on security tbf)
and the image you posted with the yellow highlight about diagnostics.. itis a general requirement, if you dont send data about a crash or something like that, how else can they fix it?
As for DX12
GW2 wont get any benefit from it, but something like FFXIV will, as thats a HEAVILY graphics intensive game, and its mostly for the AAA titles like… call of duty or some sports ball game.
i know about rom, indeed i’ve done some modify for be more safe…
vpn isn to much safe too the system was already broken, but ofc it help, isnt not easy to use the tecnology w/o be spyed, but if they wanna know something about me, they should use a direct attack to me, i’m not a polititian, i’m not a terrorist or someone who have some kind of information, i’m just a normal man, so no one will attack me directly, and if they do, they will found gw2 and tv series
i just hate to make this normal for big company as default
come back in topic i like what dx12 does, but i dont like all this closed source, the big Brother is inside there, so i’d like to anet will develop the next engine with some open source or Linux/older window version friendly w/o loosing the chance to have better graphic and performance, so i suggest vulkan but everything else than DX 12 is fine too
this game with dx9 is the beautiest mmo, there is alot of dx11 mmo or game, with a worst graphic out there
@ Lian
So, you don’t use a mobile phone and or any RedTwitFace social media … good for you.
you don’t have to use Win 10 … Try CPM.
yes i have no social media account and i have modify my android with another rom…
if they wanna my info they have to pay me!!!!
my privacy, my data is valuable to me, u wanna know my browser chache, my preference, my ideology? ok gimme 2000 euro per months till i will die and we have a deal, otherwise i dont give money to this orrible ppl wil became rich with my info….
if ppl dont care about that is because they have no idea how the knowledge is the real power, indeed zuckenberg and friends are very very rich w/o asking a single cent to any person…. and ppl doesent ask why…. no one work for free, but ppl doesent turn on their brain unfortunatly
Windows 10 pro costs 180€, 280€ is the usb version. Also, all W7 and W8 (8.1) can upgrade for free. After that you can do a clean install. So grab any hard disk that has a previous Windows version and upgrade it for free.
Price is not an excuse.Disabling upgrades can become a big problem, specially for this new version and the the new way of how in the future the SO will get the new things. Is the obvious way.
Vulkan is yet to be seen how used it will be. It may become very famous, or as much forget as OpenGL. Devs have the same choice than you, and if they mostly choose dx12 (which is the most probable case) then you’ll be able to choose dx12 with all games, or vulkan with no games.
The last part is kinda false, you can postpone the upgrades with the pro version, even program them. The only thing you cannot do is to choose what do you want or don’t want to upgrade.
if u do the free upgrade you will have a “upgrade version” you will doesent have a win 10 key, but a generic key, so when august 2016 will come there is no info if u can keep win 10 or if u have to buy a new version (if u format, or change your mobo even if u have a retail version of win you can found this info in the ms community, MOD are say different things and MS doesnt told anything on that
anyway i dont care if other game are not made with vulkan because i play mostly with guildwars, so it’s the only game i care about
279€ the downloadable version…. not the usb
You cant disable some stuff on home edition, and something in the pro version too, isnt about knowledge on OS…
Btw gw2 have the best graphic u can find in any mmo even with dx11, the real improvement with an highter dx or vulkan is the optimization on draw call but ofc u also need an 64bit client…
Btw i dont think they will upgrade this on gw2, and onestly i dont care too much because i think is more important if/when they will make a new engine they will not do that on dx12, because win 10 is the worst os made by microsoft, no privacy, no a complete control on your pc, i dont like it, and with vulkan intead of dx the game should be compatible also with linux.
Seriously, the amount of saltiness and misinformation in you is beyond the normal.
Home edition is for people that don’t know advanced things about computers and SO. Some things are locked because without the knowledge of it people end up not upgrading their SO, have problems with connecting to internet, don’t have a proper and updated antivirus… Also it doesn’t bring some features that could cause problems, like dual boot, remote desktop, bitlocker…
Someone pro should not be looking for the Home edition.What are the things locked in the pro version? I’ve seen a few posts about some assumptions in 8chan forums made by anonymous and they are all full of misinformation, lack of understanding and self-made theories.
About draw calls, you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about. Gw2 is not even able to max the limit of draw calls of DX9.
They won’t uy would put the most used API, and if that’s dx12, then it would have it.pgrade their game engine, but if they do, the
Vulkan is yet to be seen how good it is. What we only know is one of its devs said Vulkan “might” be better than dx12.
And W10 is the best SO made by MS ever, and possibly the best ever made. But here we have some fanboy anti MS thinking W10 is bad due to imaginary lack of privacy (while all his life might be in Google’s or Apple’s servers) and the lack of control (when he doesn’t even know what you can and cannot do).
lol your post is awesome
i’m not anti MS really, i really love win8.1, and i have tryed myself win 10 so i know what i’m talking about
you say the home edition is for ppl doesent know what to do, ok, so let set up by default the update, but give the option to disable it, if they r noob they even doesent lf this option for disable it, dont u think?
“Someone pro should not be looking for the Home edition”
did u saw how expensive is the pro version? in eu is 280 euro, twice of home, and i should spend double just for be able to disable stuff? thats a joke!! also beacuse in the older version of Windows you doesent have this problem…
anyway as i told i dont care about MS and his OS, everyone is FREE to choose what he want, i’m not a funboy of anti MS, i a funboy to the OPTIONS, and to me chose something different like vulkan sounds to have the options to play my game in other OS and with older OS, with dx12 u are forced to change OS, even if u dont like it
ps: u need the enerprise edition for lf the update and chose to posticipate the instal, on win 8.1 u can lf the update and chose what u wanna instal etc etc in 10 PRO he will instal the update w/o confirmation…. and this is sound really bad to me, there is also other stuff u can do in win xp/7/8 and i cant do in win 10 home/pro i dont remember everything but i’m sure on that

You should akso google vulkan vs dx12 someone say is even better
gw2 runs on dx9 anyway.
yes, but they will start to make a new engine erlier for this i open this topic now, because is really important, we should not undervalue how bad is win10, and i dont think Microsoft will change his mind in the future about the customization and privacy
I m not just talking about gw2 but gw3 etc etc
Hi everyone, i dont know if u tryed win 10 but is a big hole for the privacy and is not customizable as the older windows for example u cannot disable the update, some ppl had problem with automatic driver update and other stuff..
I dont wanna talk too much about win 10 this is gw2 forum, dx12 is for win 10 only so i hope anet will make a different engine for the future sokething like vulkan will be awesome because have the same performance as dx12 and is avalaible also for linux
I’m very happy to the next fotm change, i’m one of many who was lf some istanced group challenging content, and i’m exited also because anet wrote they will do something else, so thank you!!!
in this topic i’d like to talk about the mats/gold farm who sorrounded the game till now, thanks to god, exotic are very close to everyone, and ascended is not impossible if u dont like to farm (like me)
now, i’m hoping the next legendary weapon/armor will be possible to gain just playing this challenging group contents, like fotm, or the other one (raids maybe?) so player who hate farm events, maps etc, will be not punished, but as other games do, u will earn good stuff doing hard content…
i’m not against the farmers, i mean, if someone like to farm something it’s ok for me, i dont wanna punish players, but i just hope to dont be pushed on it, because i just dont like it, i play since bwe and i dont have with any character, the map completition, i never tryed to make a legendary weapon, because of that
now i’d like to have legendary stuff for the chance to change stats when i need it, it will help with the challenging contents, so i hope to have a chance as “hardcore” player to earn that without the map/events farm
thank you
I think they should work on dx 12 and 64bit clientbecause it will improve gw2 and will also be the start for gw3
There is any chance for the double skin for became usefull or swtchable with other stuff?
trait and skill deleted and unlockable, the build tree was resetted too, and now i cant change back because i cant unlock again the skills and traits and if i try this is doesent work
So you really have fun with farming? Lol a real job is farming not a game, someone should have fun for it but its awesome when i see someone who will talk for everyone, we should call u mr president
The reality is everyone like to do different stuff, i m not saying to delete silverwaste and speedrun dungeons, or to rewrite the game for the holy trinity, is really fun when someone like me write “trinity” some guys will go in berserker mode and doesent understand anything else “this man wanna destroy my game” also if i’m saying i dont wannaput the trinity inside the game, so just relax and take it easy i’m juast saying i’d lke to go deeper in class mechanism with different hard istanced content, so turn off your frenzy and have fun
I m not lf trinity, and i m not lf gear treadmill, but this map/dungeon farming is boring as hell i m lf istanced hard content, and a game where classes have more role than dps, if u lke to farm i dont wanna ruin your silverfarm map, but i d like to have something more competitive with more different role for classes
I start this topic because i wanna go over the meta and trinity topic, i m one of many who like the trinity, and i was thinking for alot of thime this game lack of this.
Maybe is true, maybe not or maybe both, i’m start thinking the problem is the lack of content, in other games you have tiers of dungeons or they are the same but it scale difficulty when u became stronger, but usually u dont master them lke in this game because after a while u do other dungeons for have better rewards…
So we will get elitist on speed run, ppl will be kicked from istance etc etc, because everyone wanna do it faster as possible, elementalist war, guard, thief etc etc are fake profession, because everyone is become The Farmer, speed run everything make gold, farm maps etc etc
In other games i enjoyed the classes, the role, here everything are feeling like a way to farm, ppl even sell path!!!
I hope with HOT and specialization we should enjoy more the content without die under the “meta farmer community”
Problem is ppl do this dungeons for 3 years, i hate all this zerk stack corner meta, but i dont wanna stay inside a path for hours…
Other games have dungeon tier so after a while u do new content avoiding the old one or doing it less frequently, so the elitist will keep to lf meta, but normal players just enjoy what they are doing thinking to reach new content and new levels..
Imho the problem is not players, but the istanced content
I remeber the first time i ve doine AC story and Arah story, when the game was released and no one know how to play the game and contents i spent 4 hours each story!! We cleared all room, no skip, no stack no knowledge…
So now ppl are just farming stuff over and over without play any role except the farmer
I love gw2 but his game mode lack alot, pve is just for farmer, spvp is awesome but lack of kind of content after 3 years we will got only coinquest and now stronghold, www is not what i like so i dont spend word on it
In conclusion this game have a big potential but is runed by this stuff
I ve tryed for 30 min but onestly the dmg zerk snd condi it seems to suck, but i m pretty sure it s becaude im noob with this class.
Unfortnatly i dont have much time to play thiss weekend so if u can share the correct dps build (traits, weapon, legend and if there is some kibd of rotation) should be very appreciated, if u can do this with a builder is even better because is fsster for me to understand
What everyone is missing from the OP’s post is that he’s heading towards a type of trinity style of play…which is against what GW2 was designed for. Remember, all classes are supposed to be self-sufficient…that was and is the design choice, if you’re not happy with it, then perhaps……(you should be able to answer this yourself).
self sufficient for what? i know the anet purpose, but everything is done with OTHERS, except the personal story u do spvp, wvw, dungeons and world events with others, this game wasnt designed for have a dedicated healer, or tank, but this doesent means you can have different profession, for example direct dmg or dot, are different way to kill enemies.
the modify to the condi cap is a good way for have a chance to see something different and allow some profession to be different, but when i see every prof can have acces to everykind of stuff i dont like it too much….
i dont wanna limit playing style, i’d like to see profession with an identity inside the combat system, now i just see a spam of boons/conditions, i’d like to have more focussed classes…
i repeat, maybe there is a better way for make the classes more different, and give them finally an identity, and i think content is really important, i’m the one who hope to go out of all that full dps/corner meta, but maybe give a major identity and make less spamming boon/condition should help too
OP: Perhaps it’s how you’re playing your different classes, and not so much that they aren’t different.
I can pretty much assure you that a party of five warriors will function a lot differently than a party of a warrior, guardian, thief, and a couple of eles.
i know is different, but not like other games does
you wanna have this classes in dungeons only for the following reason:
ele=icebow + might/fury
war=might share/ banners
guard and mesm=reflect quickness, portal for mesm
thief = invisibility
ranger= spotter
necro = no one want the necro in dungeons
and ofc all of them for dps, that’s it, i see much more differences in other games….
i know i’ve forgot some little aspect, but this is the first reason you lf these classes in dungeons..
i’m not saying my way is the right one, and you are the evil, i’m just saying the problem is this classes doesent are too much different compared to other games, i think remove something to all classes (and balance the content) should give to them something more special.
maybe there is other way for this my purpose, and maybe they r better, but i think this is one biggest things…
