part 8a, the first battle of Shaemoor

I rushed immediately to the walls of the city to see if I could count the size of the force. It was roughly two hundred humans carrying pikes and fire sticks. The guards were already at their posts, and called out to them.
“You there, two-legs! What are you doing here?” The guard demanded.
The detachment of human soldiers halted, and a rough looking roguish type stepped out from among them. He appeared to be their leader.
“I speak for these soldiers, and for now we are just passing through on the way to Cantha.” The soldier replied.
The guard knew that the human was lying.
“Cantha is nowhere near this city, nor even close to its direc-” Before the guard could finish his sentence an arrow had pierced his chest and he collapsed.
“No!” I yelled, clutching the hilt of my blade, charging full gallop out of the city gate. “Raise the alarm…I can see a horde of them across the meadow!”
I rushed back into the gates of the city, and began wildly throwing obstacles behind it to bar the path of the humans, my heart rate quickening to an almost fatal level. Then I heard my father’s rumbling voice.
“Crowsbane! Why has the alarm been sounded?! What goes on my son?” My father was just as shocked as I, his voice becoming much more thunderous.
“Father…Humans are coming. At least ten thousand!”
“Thalius preserve us! Ventari!” My father yelled, and Ventari stepped out from behind the blacksmithy. “Command the archers, Crowsbane, command the army, our entire culture is in this city, it cannot fall! Guard, bring me my sword and armor!”
My father’s attache galloped off, returning several minutes later with my mother, and my father’s greatsword and plate armor.
“Raevan! Go! You should not be here!” Og’rahn yelled at my mother.
“I am wife of the Chieftain, I will not run!” My mother exclaimed bravely.
As my father was putting on his armor, the city guard mustered behind him, and formed around the gate, in that same moment I looked overhead and saw a trebuchet shot impacted against one of the guard towers, throwing the guards inside of it, as well as the stone of the tower, in many directions, killing the guards immediately.
Then a barrage of trebuchet shots went overhead, impacting all over the city, destroying many sacred buildings, including the Temple.
“No…” I said, holding my face with my hands, tears rolling down my cheeks. “What have we done, Melandru? What?!” Then I heard the battering ram hit the door. “Hold fast, we cannot let them in before the people escape! Mother, get the people out of the city!”
She nodded at me, then I drew my sword.

Problems with Engineers and Legendaries

You’re doing a fine job. It won’t change anything, but have at it.

Given enough time a single glass of water can reshape the entire planet. Patience is a virtue I strive to master, and I’m nothing if not stubborn.

Yeah, I got that. lol

We are what we are.

Honestly I am getting to the point where I don’t really care about any engineer weapon. The only reason I want one at this stage is for a legendary, and there is only one legendary I really like and it just so happens that the engineer can’t use it. I’m told I should just wait and see if Arena Net adds more, but frankly they seem resistant to add weapons the engineer can actually use in any of their updates, and even when they do they are not themed in such a way as to look right.

Honestly at this point don’t we have enough magical swords? Can’t we get some tech themed weapons at some point? Give me something steampunk, please.

no steam punk. give me a kitten shotgun legendary that fires dragon’s breath on the blunderbuss.

Interestingly enough, after that post was made we got steampunk themed armor (with another on the way. Seriously have you previewed the new medium armor in the PvP locker? Like steampunk Iron Man meets Assassin’s Creed), and just recently steampunk weapons. I’m happy. Mostly. I just hate that the weapons come from the worse RNG scam yet (you have to get lucky TEN times instead of once for these skins).

i honestly think it looks terrible. and reiterate the point you quoted.

I’m going to agree with @ArmageddonAsh. Only Elementalists need more HP since their healing was nerfed and boon based survivability is now highly counterable.

@VIVorcha:
I’m going to say no.

More health does NOT equal to more survivability.

Look at Warrior and Necromancer before the June 25th patch that pushed it over the edge and tell me that having the most health in the game makes you any more survivable. It simply is not true.

that’s not a good argument considering necromancers have the survivability of a roach under a boot. necromancer has almost no escapes, if not none. no stability and are always focused. warrior has craptons of stability, is heavy armor so higher base armor, and endure pain. necromancer has death shrough i guess.

Dual Pistol DoT Engineer Build

Lightsbane.9012

if you really wanted to use a pistol build with rabid armor, i’d go
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQJAqalspSXnvSeF17ICoH5FfNiie8YU2k9pAbB-jQCBINBkmGkyAIHqIas1hBp6KslXRTdDTHjIqWKAYmGB-e

you won’t be speed clearing anytime soon but the game is about playing what you find fun.

ps rampager gear would yield better results. i actually ran the build with rampager armor in arah and i did fine.

Careful with rampager though, it’s a lot more squishy. Something like carrion would have better raw damage as well, which you could mix with rabid.

Also, I’d swap those runes out for 6 runes of the noble if you wanted to do might stacking. The duration is 20% less, but you get enough condi damage worth 5 or 6 stacks of might, plus you get might stacks from healing. Direct damage would be lower, but such builds are condi focused anyways.

yes you’re very fragile but that’s not an issue for an experienced pve player. i’d most definitely run carrion or rabid for something like wvwvw, assuming i’d take this build into wvwvw which i wouldn’t. also i run +20% might duration and +30% boon duration runes. for 10% less might uptime i get a +30% longer fury, protection, vigor, etc. personal preference.

“experienced pve player” that made me chuckle. anyway, rabid is far superior to rampagers. power does nothing for a condition build, and you have queue x conditions on crit. obviously the more times you crit the more times it queues.

Dual Pistol DoT Engineer Build

Lightsbane.9012

P/P Condition damage isn’t as good as grenade condition damage, unfortunately. You’ll survive, but you could be dealing a lot more damage. You’ve got a good stat combo, it just happens that pistol bleed stacking is very lackluster when compared to grenade bleed stacking.

If you already have the gear, here’s the builds I would suggest:
This is great in dungeons, with very high sustained DPS. However, it has lackluster mobility and is easily caught out, which is why I also like to use this from time to time.

Overall, the first will be better in dungeons while the second will be better in open-world PvE or WvW.

this is of course ignoring the fact that grenade kit is a kit and not a weapon trait. he could easily just equip grenade kit and your answer is pointless.

The Chronicles of Merrick

in Community Creations

Posted by: Lightsbane.9012

Lightsbane.9012

the chronicles of merrick is an adventure of war, druids, bards, and magicks. it tells the story of Merrick, a Druid of the Frozen forest of Everfrost. He wakes up after centuries of hibernation to find pillars of black smoke coming from a nearby village. The smoke is not coming from the flames he expects to find however—-they are coming from the flame of industry.
and lastly i will mention that this is an original work of fiction with no ties at all to Guild Wars 1, 2, or any of the lore therein.

Here is part I of my novel The Chronicles of Merrick, the Happening at Greyland

As friends fall with the snow
My home in the forest is all I know
My heart bleeds with the escaping time
E’re the fates dwell!
O, the night I watch
With pleasant thoughts and smiles
Cometh rain or cometh pain
For the forest, my soul I would gladly sell
Verse from the tale of Mal’Chek, last king of the Druids

Chapter I, Arrival.

Walking through a snow covered forest, a savage foe approaches. He is not bear or wolf, or mountain lion; he is man, slowly creeping into my haven in the trees. The trees speak to those who will listen, and I have listened for many years. Their branches bend and sway in the wind, but the trees cannot sense what I can sense, a monster comes to pillage my home.
My forest is called Everfrost, and I am its protector, the Druid Merrick, along with my master Mal’Chek, we are the last of the Druids. I too bend and sway in the wind just as the trees do, but I do so as many types of animals. Most often I am a curious white wolf, one that strays into the camps of travelers attempting to brave the forest’s bitter winds. I stare at these travelers, wearing an expression that says I am but a lost and hungry wolf, for who would suspect that I am a man in wolf’s clothing? Or the Raven flying overhead?
My full name is Merrick Elios J’lish, son of Mal’rick of the Western Warrior clans. I lost touch with my father after the last great Empire of the West, the Thessian Empire, pushed into my clan’s territory and wiped out my people. I was on my own until I met my master, Mal’Chek.
I moved to Everfrost some 700 years ago and have met a vast variety of travelers, some peaceful and some who are warmongers. My master, who taught me the ways of the Druid, gave to me the gift of immortality. I received this gift by taking the spirit of the Mother forest into my own, and each Druid has his own Mother Forest. All druids deemed worthy are given the ability to commune with his or her Mother Forest, but not all are successful in this communion. However not all druids, immortal or otherwise, possess the fortitude to live in hermitage for centuries with no companion but animals and close friends; so the number of ancients dwindles.
In the contrast of Druidic life, the rest of humanity seems to be after the same things recently, treasure, glory and industry, whereas I only seek to live in peace and harmony with my forest. There have been many innovations that I’ve witnessed have included flying machines and metal horses. Yet the sword and the bow still remain the weapon of choice of armies all across the lands. It is told that the Thessian Emperor Maliarchus is responsible for the beginning of this industrial innovation.
Unfortunately, with innovation came pollution and desecration of sacred places. Everfrost was once a taboo place to cut lumber from, but superstitions last only so long it seems. For centuries I have used the façade of docile Wolf, harmless Raven and weary traveler while I’ve lived in solitude and the forest has gotten smaller with each passing decade; a happenstance that I cannot ignore.
With each passing decade there is a new threat uncovered facing the sanctity of Everfrost, and the threat is something I’m not always aware of how to diminish. Some years I am able to do virtually nothing but eliminate the deforesters, whereas sometimes I’m able to teach them habits I think are better, and still my advice is not always followed. So along with being a hermit, I have developed into quite the cynic, loathing almost everyone and everything that isn’t connected to the forest.
More recently, pillagers and adventurers have been seeking the ‘Secret of Everfrost’, a fabled item that contains the knowledge of how humankind would be able to maintain a balance with nature and yet continue to invent new things. It also would grant immense knowledge and power to the first who read it, thus making them immortal. It is fabled that the son of a great king has recently been looking for this immense tome in order to dominate the known world.

The Problem with Greatswords

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Lightsbane.9012

Lightsbane.9012

This just isn’t true. Nor would it be an issue any way, something inevitably has to be the highest priced item. Not only is greatsword not necessarily the highest damage dealing weapon for each class NOR is it the most expensive item to buy as far as exotic stats/pearl weapons goes.

Well, of the 4 classes that can use it, from what I’ve seen:
Very Popular on Warrior and Mesmer
Popular on Guardian
Sorta Popular on Ranger

I’m just saying that because of the rules of supply and demand, the greatsword is more expensive just because of the demand.

there’s also 4 legendary greatswords. and 1 of everything else. obviously the demand is in GS. maybe someday the other 4 classes will get the diversity of appearance too.

Ascended gear 11+% > Exo? WAY too much.

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Lightsbane.9012

Lightsbane.9012

I dont see the problem, the increase is not much at all and it really doesnt make a noticeable difference.
Exotic gear is way too easy to get anyway, need something to work towards sometimes.
Some people have more than 2 hours a week to enjoy this game and feel like a new tier can only do good for them.

exotic gear is indeed way too easy to get…if you pve alot. i find the pve in this game absolutely deplorable. since the living stories do not find us WvWers fit to be included in them, i am forced to pve to get the incredible rewards that come with them.
same with the achievement chests. WvW achievements are currently unobtainable, so if i want any of the chests i’m forced to pve. if i want any gold for the new items, i’m forced to pve. if i want cool weapon skins, pve. and to date, the mobs that scarlet spawn are the only challenging thing to come out of pve to date. when they are gone, it will become stupidly easy again. thus boring and no challenge.

Pro's and Con's for Engineer

in Engineer

Posted by: Lightsbane.9012

Lightsbane.9012

pro’s:
highest base hp of ‘adventurer’ classes.(even though we play like a soldier class)
tons of condi cleanses, which are incredibly beneficial since the supermeta is condition builds.
some versatility
long range spammable aoes
toolbelt skills can hit hard
intense condi pressure second only to necro

con’s:
spammable aoes are quite hard to land and can be very situational(ignore the engineers that use grenades at <600 range)
most limited access to stability in the game
biggest damage skills are at <500 range
poison dart volley fires like the shooter is blind
incredible amount of turret bugs
most underplayed class, so it gets least amount of attention
the legendary rifle is meant only for warrior.

last but not least, it is a great class that requires a significant amount of understanding of the game to truly master. this is not the case of 6/8 of the rest of the classes.

Posted by: Lightsbane.9012

Lightsbane.9012

1. to someday be as survivable as thief and deal anywhere near as much sustained damage as them
2. on demand stuns
3. long range damage that doesn’t require ground targeting
4. Anet to be honest about what engineer can and can’t do in the manifesto
5. a legendary that’s actually not made only for warrior
6. a rifle attack chain that makes any shred of sense
7. bug fixes
8. supply crate cooldown reduction
9. bleed on blunderbuss turned into something relevant
10. shotgun exotics
11. a crafting discipline that incorporates engineering(siegecrafting, anyone?)
12. more weapon choices

unrelated:
better armor for charrs.

Engineer is not a soldier profession.

However, none of the adventurer professions are at high health pools. Engineer should have the same base HP as a Warrior and Necro to match the more “durable” feel that the engineer feel should have. They you would have thief with low HP, Ranger with Medium, and Engineer with High (instead of medium).

Heavy Armor is NOT something that they should get. You aren’t creating inventions and gadgets in plate; it’s too restrictive. Leather/mail is much more class-fitting.

you make a nice point about the mail part. like, why is chain not an armor type? could’ve been a go-between for plate and leather

Wish list for balance patch after pax

’ I’m definitely a fan of reworking our skills so we’re not so dependent on Kits, of course.

Other than that? I just hope they give us more weapons soon, and give us more unique, useful Elite Skills.

I’m afraid you have the wrong idea of what the engineer was designed for. Kits are our bread and butter, and to not use them would be against the grain of the class. I whole-heart-idly disagree with making the base weapons superior to kits or equal to.

I agree with the elite skills comment.. Our elite skills, especially with the current state of our alive-for-one-second turrets, mortar which is just plain horrible, and the random elixir x.

i’m afraid your idea of engineer isn’t the idea. you can run somewhat fine on elixirs. this works great on dual pistol or p/s. i also think that blunderbuss and jump shot should either be buffed somehow(bleeding does nothing for power builds but i get why it’s there) and jump shots range is easy to neglect. range buff on jump shot, something buff on blunderbuss.

LS&WvW

Lightsbane.9012

world vs. world is what sold me on this game. it gets absolutely no love other than the obligatory ‘siege mastery’ insert every 2 weeks or so.
however, the driest part of this game(for me and the guilds i join, every game) is the pve content. we use pve to make money and get achievement points. since the latter is so difficult to acquire in wvw(and since new pve content rolls out biweekly without missing a beat) we’re kind of forced/encouraged to do something most of us loathe doing.
now imagine if WvW got even 50% of the attention that PvE gets.
please give the wvw players some attention. we earn noticeable buffs for our servers, isn’t that worth something? and all we get is siege mastery? i would get achievement points so much faster in pve, i know, but farming AI monsters, and speed running dungeons is far less difficult than destroying an organized enemy zerg. where’s the reward for that?(loot bags is not the kind of reward i’m talking about)
QED: until it’s possible to make as much money off of wvw as it is off of farming mindless mobs, my wish probably won’t be granted.

I agree with most of your points, except the last. WvW is what brought me to this game too, and for sometime now I can barely spend more then an hour w/o having to exit.

WvWPvE is what it is, I want to see huge friggn BAMs that you can summon (think oldschool AV), Unique armor and weapons, big fat loot like PvE, some map changes, perks, GvG/duel zones that benefit your server in some way…basically a bunch hunk’n of love.

you mean how people don’t do wvw because it’s not profitable? of course it’s not profitable, it’s fun. PvE is incredibly dry and easy, and very profitable. however true “glory” comes from defeating players not AI. wvw deserves more attention.

to be honest, i’d say engineer is a better fit for the soldier profession than guardian. as guardian is just a mage who realized that heavy armor is more protective than a dress.

Nah man, Guardians are a mix of soldier and cleric while doing both well.

and engineer is a mixture of soldier and …uhh.

….scholar. They’re smart and constantly inventing stuff, not training to run around in plate armor. Layers of leather provide a flexible platform for inventions to sit on.

“Layers of leather provide a flexible platform for inventions to sit on.”
wut. this is of course assuming anet took mobility into consideration when designing the classes. and judging by warrior’s movement capabilities i’d say that’s a flat no. thus the argument holds.

bumping. keep this on front page. Engineer is a soldier profession.

the engineer isn't a soldier profession?

really? it isn’t? well, okay. let’s ignore the fact that it uses everything imaginable that a more modern “soldier” (by modern i mean 1700’s+)uses. considering that Guild wars 2 is in an era 200 years in the future of the last game, and assuming Anet plans to release expansions, won’t there be more ‘soldier’ professions using rifles?
to be honest, i’d say engineer is a better fit for the soldier profession than guardian. as guardian is just a mage who realized that heavy armor is more protective than a dress.

This made me think: could you imagine the note comes up, “Scarlet’s minions are attacking the Eternal Battleground!” Suddenly every bl has a queue as every person in Lion’s Arch tries to get into wvw. Especially the people who’ve never been before. Especially the pve commanders! It’s funny enough watching full zerkers fight against crown pavilion champions. This would be marvellous. I’d pop popcorn and sit on a keep wall. Hee!

I know you didn’t suggest this OP but it’s where my mind went.

i wouldn’t mind something like that..

Do you really want invasion mobs just standing around doing nothing somewhere on a WvW map? That’s what they do on the PvE maps, absolutely nothing until they are attacked by players. We have the Overgrown Grub for that.

no. i want inclusion in the events at least. it’s up to anet to decide how to include us, but since the first LS there has been no inclusion of a very large part of the gw2 community. this includes the spvp bros/brosettes. they get literally nothing

CoSA: the rule of /laughing is when you kill someone that has tried so hard to drop you, but failed epically. not when you zerg 5 people with 10.

Oh they only used 10 people this time?

10 people, 10 IQ points. all meta builds.

GS and Sword/Shield Viable in WvW?

shield #5 is really funny when paired with judges intervention. port into enemy zerg, blow all of them back. sword’s damage is good but easy to get away from.

A Swift Death…

as someone who plays guardian, mesmer, and engineer, i find that my guardian has the most amount trouble getting away from things. it just seems strange that the heavier the armor, the less survivable your class is.
ele and mesmer can get away from almost anything(necro cannot because anet doesn’t like necros)
engineer and thief(thief can get away from Anything) have great survivability.
warrior can run and has great mobility, guardian can…tank. alot. but not really any escapes.
QED: if you’re a guardian at low hp and something is gunning from you, is there something to rely on other than my armor?

The new Bandito thief tutorial video is now up, featuring 1v1s against several IoJ/SF/DR players from the past couple of weeks. No stealth, no thieves guild, no lame stuff… just good fights and gunslingin’ action.

The obligatory TL;DR gif version is attached below.

better be good man…i turned off the can’t hug every cat video for this.

GoM Needed to not only zerg us with 15+ people, But they needed to portal bomb us at their north camp in their BL. 15v3 come on GoM. Wheres your ub3r l33t sk1ll5 we all hear about? ITs only 3 of us in an upgraded camps with 2 ballistas, You didnt need nearly that many people or the portal bomb to take it lmao.

Anywho, Seems the 3 R guilds or w/e failed to take a keep today, We’ll be sure to keep watching every NA morning for you guys and flip keep before you can in your bl

The footage we gained from that portal bomb was well worth it! <3

Reminds me, Who’s ready for the “Revised” Orb buff to come back to WvW?

ARM
