Guild Wars 2

To elaborate further, mesmers by themselves hit like wet tissue, being very reliant on having 3 phantasms up for good DPS. The one thing they were actually useful for in dungeons were their reflects, and for certain dungeons portals, but mostly the reflects. With the feature patch, Empowering Mantras, a trait crucial to maximising reflect damage, was shifted into the Domination (Power) line from the Dueling (Precision and Ferocity) line. Reflect damage does not scale with your Power, but it does scale with your damage multipliers including Critical Damage.

Long story short, mesmer was once viable in dungeons that had projectile-rich encounters, now it’s outclassed by guardians who offer superior support and damage to begin with. It’s still a pretty fun class to play around with, just don’t expect it to shine in dungeons.

:(

Fractal armour sets.

:D

Remember that video of him getting an uninfused ring from lv 50? Posting it in the CDI thread was apparently the last straw for him and so they gave him a perm ban.

sigh

Holding on to that last sliver of hope that I won’t have to retire my mesmer…

You buy Mystic Forge Stones?

Night blossom would be a good description for that. :D

Camping fire in staff is in fact pretty good DPS due to the (nearly) 100% Lava Font uptime when Persisting Flames is traited.

I’m not even looking the right way :<

Get cracking then, those charges won’t magically appear by arguing here. The price for transmutation charges is half of what crystals used to cost.

There is a cost associated with anything and everything in this world.

My guess is that mechanics-wise, this trait grants a different type of Revealed (the trait tooltip subtly implies that it is a different effect) – it looks and functions the same as the original Revealed, but grants 200 Power as well. Since Revealed only applies when you break stealth through direct damage or by leaving SR prematurely, your first hit will not benefit from the power boost. That would instead require the boost to be coded to stealth instead, which renders the purpose of the trait moot.

It is quite fair, making a legendary tradable after use implies that it can be given to another person for free, who would then unlock the skin (which is what a legendary is about) for zero input. It’d severely devalue the legendary, since “everybody has it and I can’t be a special snowflake anymore qq”, so to speak.

You are assuming that every character receives 60 tokens, which isn’t the case anymore. You only receive the full rewards of a dungeon path once a day, across all characters.

When did you last enter a dungeon?

Edit: 10 minute FC so I’ll try this:

BigfootArisen.6509:

If this update is the way I read it (possible its not) you can get a maximum of 180 carvings a day. So only 6 rares, maximum of 18 ectos. More likely 5-6. If I’m wrong, bully for everyone, if I’m not, NCSoft is cracking the gemstore whip harder and harder.

You can, in theory, acquire an unlimited number of them just by grinding them over and over, but after 3 consecutive runs of the same path the rewards diminish so severely that it simply isn’t worth it anymore.

Is there any cake through there?

No.

Relax guys, no need to make digs at each others’ guilds over a petty issue. A casual run is just that – casual. Why the fuss over minmaxing in what is clearly meant to be relaxing? Chill man, chill.

Oh god my immersion.

:(

Ok, proper dungeon pic! BUNNY EARS!

:>

Rentapest.6503:

It’s not possible for me to do other paths. Why? Because PvE is so bad before the patch and worse now!

I tried Arrah P1 once, wiped on trash at the door over and over because of bad group, never again ty. And all I ever see is dummies selling paths for gold. They should be banned for that.

Saying the grapes are sour because you can’t reach them won’t magically make them drop from the vine.

I won’t comment on the path selling.

Just drop it. On second thought, let’s go with Leo’s idea!

Too… much… oh god… unjustified zerker hate…

Which is why you have to lure the champion scavenger to her. :p

If you get Detha killed, it unbugs.

The problem is getting her killed to begin with.

Spoj The Second.7680:

My mesmers new fashionable look.

She looks like she’s having a facial…?

Discovered another look that I like. :p

I have got to start thinking of new colour schemes other than full abyss/black >_>

Sera.6539:

Spoj The Second.7680:

Only daily end rewards were capped at once per day. Boss chests inside dungeons are now capped at 1 per day. Which is kind of silly seeing as they already had terrible loot.

So what does this mean for CoE P2/3 at the gun protection section?

Bad news.

Of course you can still do them all, just once a day each path will give full rewards.

The trees are actually from AC story.

Interesting.

What makes them think nerfing boss chests does anything good at all?

Boss chests are now openable only once a day is what they said.

Apparently the police have been here, but I have no idea what is now missing from the thread. O_O

The first warden I spawned bugged out, but the rest worked fine. Don’t really know the specific cause of this bug though.

deSade.9437:

FenrirSlakt.3692:

Warden seems to reflect projectiles upwards, so they completely miss if the target is not practically kissing them.

Lol?

I can second that, my traited wardens can’t seem to reflect harpy arrows back to their shooter.

Or it could be that my trait bugs out on map change.

Edit: Yep, reslotted the trait and it works fine.

I believe expert parties bring a ranger for the buffs. I don’t know about engineer though.

It’s more elegant, but it didn’t win. :<

New mesmer look, but not in a dungeon, but since I know of no other thread, here it is!

“I would fail disastrously if my Naga were to be taken away” is how reliant I’ve become on the side buttons.

Takes a few days to get used to it at the start though, need that muscle memory to kick in.

Oh jeez…

I got infracted for the third set I wrote and it got deleted… :<

I’m adding those beautiful patch notes to my compilation!

You need to disable autoattack for a start.

hendo.1940:

dont worry guys, as long as we stay in this subforum, I suppose you could say we have

strength in numbers

yeeeeaaaahhhh

But… guardians in general don’t worship gods… so no holy powa

I don’t even want to argue with him anymore, not worth the hassle of relogging and/or triggering 10 min FC.
