I like the idea of the fight well enough. But some of the beings you have to fight are annoying for the sake of being annoying, compounded by the bugs…I’ve decided to wait until they fix some of those before I try to finish it again after getting shut down twice by the rift in midair bug.
Like it, but I don’t expect new legends anytime soon. And if they were going to add one, I’d prefer an underwater one we auto-switch to. Playing two legends that don’t work underwater is a pain.
Personally, I wouldn’t care if the hammers were purely a visual effect and the skill was just a pulsing AOE. It would fix the usability issues nicely.
Yup, it has been asked for a number of times. We would probably lose the life steal on hitting vulnerable targets from the Devastation line, but seems like a fair trade to make it more usable.
There are things that need fixing, like underwater combat. There are things that would be very nice, like a ranged Condi weapon. And there are things that aren’t remotely necessary (for the class to be complete), like choice of abilities.
we also get two sets rather than one set of utilities, and that gives us more flexibility and power; essentially we are exchanging build flexibility for two sets of utilities, including two heal skills.
Of course you can use it. But you don’t absolutely have to use it on cooldown in order to do decent damage. I like to save it for a moment where it allows me to do some damage while avoiding getting hit by something nasty.
There will never be racial skills or Mistfire wolf for Revenant. I hope the underwater stuff is still a work in progress, but we haven’t received an update on that recently.
You need to stop conflating shield with Glint (Legendary Dragon stance). While they are related, they aren’t the same. I use shield in Jalis stance all the time.
Soothing Stone should clear conditions before applying the heal.
Inspiring Reinforcement should either give a flat amount of stability at the start or increase the pulsed duration to 2 seconds.
I believe I found either a bug or an oversight. Phase Traversal says that you gain “Unblockable(5s)” and really only gives you this buff for 2s. Don’t know if this just needs to be updated or is a bug
You get 2 stacks. I don’t use Shiro, but I think each stack is consumed when you hit something. If you don’t attack anything, they wear off after 5 seconds, regardless.
I was at this fight earlier. The CC window is very short. We never managed to pull it off and still came maybe 10-15 seconds away from winning the fight.
Nice find on Jalis Hammers when used against an invulnerable opponent. I know this was happening frequently at labyrinth doors, but hadn’t made that realization.
If that’s the case, I suggest restarting the client before doing a big event if possible if you have been playing for an hour or more. If I’ve been playing for a couple of hours, I can practically guarantee I will crash during the final burn phase in the Teq fight.
Wish I could give you the skin I got from the story mission.
Ewwwww…
You could always play through the story with multiple characters to unlock more.
I believe its the same three for every profession. sword/pistol/torch? that was for mes and guard i know sword i can’t remember the other too. if its different, which profession had focus? anyone know?
Definitely not the same three. For Revenant it was Sword, Mace, and something else.
I haven’t used Ventari, but I have a couple of guildies that fell in love with it during Beta. They really appreciate the fact they can have the tablet in one spot healing folks while they revive someone or do whatever they need to somewhere else.
Revenant is a blast, but part of what makes it fun for me is that the new stuff is more of a challenge. You have all these cool things you can do and you actually need to use them to survive on a near-constant basis.
The issue here is that Revenants are supposed to manage 1 resource: Energy.
What? Who ever told you that?
I was going to say the same thing. Revenant is its own thing, not a thief or anything else. There have been cooldown on some skills from the beginning.
It certainly is true that there are more cooldowns now, and cooldowns vs higher energy costs is a discussion worth having, but I don’t recall Roy or anyone else ever promising there would be no cooldowns or that energy was the only resource.
Not so much related but I noticed Shiro Impossible Odds stance deactivates when you enter a new territory of a map. Not switching maps – but when you are exploring and a new area ia discovered it deactivates.
Confirmed with all Glint Facets (other than F2, which I forgot to check) and Jalis Hammers at several borders in Mount Maelstrom just now.
This does NOT need to be a newly discovered area. Switching to another area in the same zone switches off all Glint facets. This can even occur during combat.
What is it you plan on doing in WvW? I’m no expert there, but if you plan on running in a Zerg, I’m fairly sure you are going to want something more durable than Berserker gear.
The only change the skill needs is to make it an aoe that pulses twice per second and make the hammer simply a visual effect. although that might make it so it doesn’t steal life, which would be a tradeoff for the usability
The problem is that the mentor tag is far too easy to obtain and there are individuals that think they have the right to tell everyone what to do simply because they choose to display it.
There was a really interesting Dev post about skills like that a few weeks back, talking about the multiple path checks they go through. Iirc, what happens in a case like that is the first check passes, but then the second one fails, because one or both of the parties moved.
If that’s the case, I wonder why they can’t use the initial check as a fallback for the result of the skill use. For example, your target is moving. The initial check is ok, but the second one fails, so instead of moving to the exact spot they are you go to the location from the first check.
Honestly, I can’t believe how quickly so many people have become so selfish. Half the posts you can tell what spec people are using because they think x and y are fine, but how could you even think about doing z.
This was a fairly friendly, mostly productive little corner of the forum for a long time. I’d hoped it might stay that way a little longer. Hard to imagine that the way people are behaving.
Ah I see! So to get 100% crit, I should have ~60% without Fury?
For solo play, but most people suggest trying to get to around 50 or maybe even a bit less depending on how likely you are to be with a Ranger using Spotter and/or a Warrior with Banner of Discipline.
