Guild Wars 2

So,if i made a new engineer just to change race,can i pass my ascendent rifle and my ascendent pistol from my previus engineer To my new engineer using a splitter?

If yes,does it work with jewels too?

I google every week “race change” in the hope to find some leaked note/datamine about it.
Nothing yet.

I would be very very intrested in have some developer opinion about that…like if they chaged their mind about that or not.
A friend told me today it was possible to instant level an alt with pvp glory , i have a lot i can do it….but again,i already stated i have too many soulbound things that would require too much boring work to get it on an alt.

Any developer passing by here,and feeling in the mood of give us some update about the anet idea about a change race scroll?

I already tested this as well some days ago’ , with infusion bombs,backpack regenerator,super elixier and healing turret.
Ofc it was a fail in my 1 vs 1 , as soon as i meet i skilled player i die.

I hope you’ll make some video with this build after the 10th .

I was running it with celestial gears + traveler rune (25% speed) , but i think some healing rune / toughness set work better.trait 10/10/30/20/0 or 20/0/30/20/0 .
The several fails in 1 vs 1 depressed me and i gived up.

I don’t know what is going on with my gameplay,i used to easly win nearly all my 1 vs 1 some months agò with unconventional builds(never used hgh,SD or everything that was the fotm build of the moment).But now…every thing i test is a fail , i can only beat avarege or newby enemy.
I always played an engy , so i don’t know what changed in my gameplay , but if i meet a skilled enemy i die :S .Necros,warriors,mesmers and some rare condition thief…they overkill me if they know how to play.

In zerg action it was fantastic , i was able to stand under doors under heavy fire without retreat , and was even cooler to see my regen tick on my ally.
Ofc i was not immortal and sometime i died too.
But the bigger proble was i looted nearly nothing , with bombs i was not able to tag my enemy in open fields zerg fight , due to teh delay of bombs + enemy moving.
Also , i still cannot stay in first line with warriors even with this set , i’m too squishy while the zerg is moving.Things are different if the zerg is in close rooms like towers , where my bombs trigger all the healing on me due to the lack of movement.

I attempt a discussion with my crappy english, i apologize for this.
I hope it’s understandble.

Already saw that videos some time ago’.
But it was a nice refresh see em again , i especially like the second one!
I’ll give both builds a try , with some tweak here and there in teh traits , i thnk i can go 20 in tools instead of 30 , and manage to get Automated responce with another 10 points (i like it , and i immagine my enemy says "ooooooh nooooo , wtf " when i heal a second time .
I also can’t wait for the 10 patch , and give a try to 10/0/30/20/0 with infusion bombs+ elicier gun + healing turret and see how it works dueloling with the turret always down (wondering if we can emulate the warrior signet of regen this way while fighting , between bombs healing +-300 , healing turret regen and super elixier).
Tnx again for the tips!

Mmmhh…some tecnical question:

I use from 2 days rune of melandru,due to the condition meta(i mostly meet condition spam mesmer and thieves with the OP runes of perplexity , stunlock warriors or condition warriors , all in WvW ofc).
I must admit runes of melandru they work pretty well combined with leg mods and -36% condition duration food.It’s basically impossible to immobilize chill or cripple me.

On the other hand , vs mesmers and theives i still suffer from this perplexity spam , and it’s hard to get rid of the confusion if i don’t use 409 elixiers when they apply 5 stacks every 8 seconds.

I also use a lot 30 points in tools , i like the rifle a lot , so the crit dmg is a must for me.
I use cavalier trinkets to have thoughness and crit dmg.
I don’t like elixier builds , i don’t like SD build , i always try to find something new.
Now the point is : do you think your build should work with a 30/10/0/0/30?
As utility rocket boots + nades + elixier S .
Do you think there would be a way to make it work?
Or the elixier tree hgh+ cleaning formula is a must?

Ukuni thats impressive.
I’d like to have the skill to play like that , with the same build, but the truth is i would die in the 90% of the same duels you have done.
I got pleasure watching every single duel, a different way to play combined with really hard matches vs more enemy at once.
Now, i’m depressed, and will cry for days cause i’m not able to do the same thing.At the same time it encourages me , because i’m having a really hard time in duels vs every class.
Tnx for sharing!it was fun to watch!

It’s always a pleasure for me to see an engineer video of any sort , especially when there is FINALLY someone who is not using an HGH or perplexity runes.
I would be amazing to see some engy rifle videos too :S .
I use granades sometime but i take a lot more retaliation dmg .
I think i must look again at your videos , to see how often you take reta dmg .

On a side note , the #5 granade , i never saw a commander call that field during a fight , mostly because commanders do not care of engineers role in their group or they simply ignore what we can do and how to make use of us.
I’ll agree we (as some other class) can use some buff on the zerg-vs-zerg skills/ability cause atm i don’t feel my self that effective (fromt the strategy point of view).

Also , (for Dimes) is really dangerous for your group the way an engineer uses the # 5 of nades , especially when you make continue rush inside the enemy zerg , cause the combo field poison can cover the more needed water field for your ally.
I tend to don’t spam #5 if my zerg is face-to-face for that reason.
I use it only when my group is fairly far from enemy and the enemy is stacking buffs to prepare a rush or to recover from a rush.

there must be some issue in the current WvW meta,that’s sure.
Something is broken when u see a commander before a raid tipe things like this :
"Warrior set this way,guardian i need you to set this way , Necros do this , Staff elementalist do that , mesmers i need this , rangers i have no words,engineers i have no words , d/d ele i have no words , thieves i have no words " .

I can’t blame this kind of commanders , he simply adapt to the meta the developers build via game mode and general balance.

I must admit the thing is making me feel depressed atm , and i’m a dedicated WvW player since the day 1 , always with my engineer.
My class is viable , but i can’t give a huge support in DPS terms ,i barely tag anyone and if i do it the retaliation kills me very quickly.
I can spec for support either , yes i can use bombs and healing turret , but that’s far from a guardian or an elementalist potential support (and u wont tag a single enemy if u just go support) .

So actually go Heavy , or press esc→exit to desktop so the queque speed up.

The fanaticism of some people who really can’t take “no” for an answer really astounds me. It reminds me of the EU and the various “no” results in national referendums relating to shady treaties that people want nothing to do with – “No” is the incorrect answer, and you will vote again until you learn to vote the “correct” way, except here, “no” is the wrong answer and we will continue to hassle you until you change your mind.

Ok,you edited again.
People who really can’t handle a discussion astounds me .

-The OP make his suggestion.
-You come here to say “never” happening,you also quote a developer.
-You also argue this quote is only 1 months old,you also dated it at the…1st october..wow.
-Then i provide you some link to read (ooohhh…read is boooring i know…but sometimes it helps you to understand the point of view/history about some developers reply,that you obiviusly missed).
-After you completely ignore my links(and thats obivius considering your answers(otherwise i must say someone here is a fanatic of the “no / i don’t give the…”yes"),you come here again,go completely offtopic and make some comparsion between “some” EU national referendum and , the attitude of some players that is having trouble with the GW2 IMMERSION for his character looks and keep asking for a race change scroll.
Sorry,who is the fanatic here?

We are here to discuss and we may have different opinions.
Please stay on topic.
Please remain civil towards eachother on this forum(give someone a fanatic etiquette is not nice,especially considering the offtopic).
Please,discuss,give your opinions,but respect the others people ideas(i may like/you may not).
If you don’t like a change race scroll idea,it’s totally fine for me,and i think whoever read this forum got the idea of your unhappyness about a race change scroll.
I like the race change idea.
The anet last repsonce about this topic,does not imply that a race change option will ever happen,nor does it mean that it will happen anytime soon.

Again,have a nice day.

ok looks like you don’t want to read.
Nothing i can add apart the LINKS with direct/most recent info.

And…well if u say “nothing has changed” from the 1 YEAR AGò sentence,to the last one….then ok i must be crazy .

“Will never happen” sounds quite different from “is not on the table atm” or from “FOR NOW, we feel that it would take away from the experience of Guild Wars 2 for the majority of players”.

Things change,may be later it will take less away from the experience of gw2 let a player change his race,instead of make him not even play the game because he doesn’t like his character.

But ok ,if you say it’s not happeing,i’ll belive you ;D.

Uknorthener , btw you take the disturb to find this answer,please look also at the date.
After that,go,and google "gw2 race change " and you will find some recent answer.

this is what i’ve said :
“apart from the first 2/3 months when there was a “never”,is now not anymore a taboo for anet,and is something like “we don’t give this option AT THE MOMENT”.

I told that in the first 2/3 months ,the answer WAS “NEVER” ,but as usual,the word “never” is abused,and,if you go look at the most recent devs repsonce,no one says “NEVER” anymore,instead they keep answering that there is “nothing on the table AT MOMENT”,and…even if my english is barely understandble,i think i can get the meaning of “AT THE MOMENT”.

Just because you do not like this particular fact doesn’t make it any less true. ;D

I’ve read the date of that post – 1st October 2013. THIS MONTH.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Race-Change/first#post272286

read better please,because if i’m not crazy,when i open this link,the dev responce is dated “about 1 year agò”.

In the while you edit all teh post,and go check my answer cronology,take the time to read the links i provided in each post.
There are more recent devs responce about the topic.
MAN READ before post outdated info.

Regards.

Just because you do not like this particular fact doesn’t make it any less true. ;D

“Anet has already said this will never happen” = FALSE .
Generally all the statements with “never,ever,forever,etc” are false :P .
Especially this one on the race change,that,apart from the first 2/3 months when there was a “never”,is now not anymore a taboo for anet,and is something like “we don’t give this option AT THE MOMENT”.
Things may(will) change,considering all the soulbound things they add in the game;one day,they will be like “forced” from themself to give such option.

There are already a lot of threads about a race change option,and i belive that many peoples would like such option.

Try to google “gw2 race change” and you will 100 discussions on the gw2 forum(btw,the search function of the gw2 site does not work properly,and you can’t find anything,so use google ).
You will also find many discussions about a race change scroll out of the gw2 forum, like on reddit , mmmporg , and many other gaming sites intrested in gw2.
The solution is not that hard to find:

-Q : do you want to have a race change?I’ll reset all your personal story,erase all racial armor skin you have,order choice,and you will get no reward if you do personal story again for your new race.

-A : ok , take my money , bye.

This would be the reaction of a player heavly unhappy of his race look,that already have too many soulbound items/progress and doesn’t want to reroll(and belive me ,is not the best thing log in a play with a character that you don’t like anymore,and log out 5 minutes after , just because you would like to play THE SAME CLASS with just another race ).
And…about teh “immersion” in the game , would have a lesser inpact have a change race scroll on the gem store,than an ugly character (with 1 year of soulbound progress) that you feel no more representative of you in the game.

How is the game on linux at the moment?
I remember the first months it was suffering of low fps, but after i’ve read this topic, i checked some videos….it looks really fluid lime on windows.
The problem is…is it fluid in wvw too? I mean…if it gives nearly the same performance of windows in WvW like i see in pve…i jump the ship now!!

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Race-Change/first#post272286

got it.

There was also another >Dev repsonce in another thread,where he was explaining the filosophy under this choice of no making such item,can’t find it.

Edit: oh wait ;D https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Possibility-for-a-race-change-item

and

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/arenanet-tracker/topic/258544-race-change/

where he state “for now”.

There is some chance yet .
May be someone can ask it to the developer in the next interview,just to refresh their memory once again after 4 months :P.

Arena net already gived a clear responce months ago.
I can’t find the thread,but they claimed that this kind of scroll was out of discussion.
They will not do it due to personal story/order/race skin issues.
And if they would ever think about implement this kind of fantastic scroll , this is not even in the list of their priority things to do.
I can agree with this,because the game is in a tragic moment under many aspects (in my eyes).So of course,at the moment,they have other kind of priority.
That told,don’t expect an Arena-Net developer to come here and reapeat again a thing they alredy stated.
Untill they don’t say “ok we will do it” , the answer will remain the same : “no we don’t want to do it”.

I don’t know how much hard would be make a scroll like we are asking.
but keep in mind,if i’m not a totally noob,this scroll would act in their data server ,to reset our story/order choice/race skins.May be it’s not that easy to implement such feature.May be.

But…like someone already said,it’s a pain log in and play with a character that does not looks like you want.
Be forced to reroll losing all the progress you achieved in order to enjoy teh game again with another character model.

Someone would easly say : "hey man,just reroll and stop it ".
Hard to do…because every day,with the time i can play i must chose:
1-reroll the character and do all teh things from the beginnings included ascendent jewels…a pain….map exploration another big insostenible pain for me.
2-continue play with a character that naused me to the point i don’t want even to log in,and if i log in continue to make progress with WvW ranks or other things , considering the character have already all the things i want unlocked.

Regards.

While i respect every point of view, let me contest somehing CattivoUomo:
No one is asking ti avoid the whole content of the game.
We are already all level 80.
In most of the case, we have many soulbound things unlocked on our main character like in my case (a dedicated WvW player):
1200 skill points;
all my WvW ranks ,
all my WvW abilities,
all my craft ability,
all armours+weapons+jewels (ascendent) and in the case you wonder, i have more than 1 tipe of ascendent weapons/jewels,
all the characters bag-slot unlocked,
commander tag,
tons of colors/die and a lot expensive rare ones,
my character name that would require me to buy a change name ticket too,
MAP COMPLETITION that, as dedicated WvW player was a real pain to do,
Rare skins/jems items
In this moment thats my list, but be sure i’d have something else to add.

If you enjoy make every race possible, no one would force you to buy a change race scroll, that eventually would reset our personal story and race armor skins.
The change race scroll would allow a player to simply change RACE, different from an intant level 80 scroll.
It would simply allow us preserve too many aspects of the game that requires too much dedication, like the ones i listed above.
About the race progress, apart from the personal story and the racial armor, the game is just the same.
And the whole things from the beginning, would be insanely boring, cause the content does not change.
And, like all the peoples in this thread, we already stated we would be happy to trade personal story+racial skins for a rafe change.
Sorry for my english, the wall of txt, and, best regards. ; D

I understand Arena-Net is really really busy at moment.
Also,they already stated that a race change scroll will not be aviable due to personal story and race skins problems.
I’d like to give my fedback about that anyway.
I would give up all my personal story,race skins and whatever to a race change scroll.
And i think all of the peaople that want this race change scroll would too.

On my character i have full ascendent gears,rings-weapons,crafts,skill points,most of the rarest color/die.Would be nice use a race change tool and hold skill points,armor colors/die,craft ability,to don’t speak about ascendent gears , etc.
Please Arena Net , we know you can find a compromise,think about it when you have time and you are not busy with critic game-play problems.

+1 to race chang scroll.

Sorry for my english,regards.

“More peoples play human and Norn race”?!
I can’t belive a GW2 developer told that , to explain the persistent trouble with charr armor,sorry.
If he told that for real , i’d say give us the change race scroll.
I’m an asura,but i would use it too ,cause weapons are INVISIBLE on the asura race.

Metallus.7690:

The 5% increased weapon damage that you get from ascended weapons doesn’t apply to kits. Kits will infact act as if you were wielding an exotic weapon. The only things that change are that +4 power/prec that come with the increased stats, nothing that significat to justify spending a boat of money on it.

I lose 300 (10% power) power point and some toughtness too equipping a kit.
I’m still using an exotic,not even an ascendent.
My crit chance/crit dmg/healing power/ remains the same in both weapons set : zerker rifle and zerker pistol/shield.

@Kuess : do you also play with a pistol on a power set?
Glad i’m not the only one.
Can i know what build do you use?
With pistol/shield power/crit dmg set ,i still have troubles when it comes to kill some one.But i’m tired of play a condition dmg set.

Nirvana.8659:

If you write this kind of QQ ofc you don’t have a clue.

I’ll tell you the difference for berserker gears :
Exotic berserker : 179power ; 128 precision ; 9% crit dmg.
ASCENDENT berserker : 188 power ; 137 precision ; 10% crit dmg.

Do you really think 9 points of power precision and just 1% crit dmg difference can change our dmg?

Not having a clue? Lol, that´s great:

better take a look at the increase in weapon strength from exotics to ascended (+ 5%, which was equal to 48 power for kits, couldn´t check it out though since this last update).

Even better: the stats you listed are carried over to kits anyways (as also from exotic weapons), basic weapon strength not so much . . .

Though in the end I agree with your conclusion: the difference does look not that big today on paper – BUT will increase with higher quality infusions available.

The difference will be bigger when we will have ascendent armorn that will add more stats.

I know that the base and max dmg are +50…but it’s like…2 stack of might that’s all.
If you have a leggendary,or if you know anyone that use it,ask him the difference in the dmg output….he will tell you his attacks deal the same dmg.

I mean , it’s useless complain about the ascendent weapons and kits, WHILE our kits don’t even scale with exotics.
I repeat,i lose around 300 power points (9/10 stack of might here) when i equip a kit.
Ofc we will lose a lot of dmg with ascendent weapons too if they are not even able to make our exotics scale better , in this sense i can agree with the QQ.

And if you think in 1 year they never adressed this problem in a decent way with exotic scale,you will never see a decent fix with the ascendent.

If i use another class and switch weapons,i don’t lose a single point of stats.

Guys…pls….
Do you know the differents from exotics to ascendend????
If you write this kind of QQ ofc you don’t have a clue.

I’ll tell you the difference for berserker gears :
Exotic berserker : 179power ; 128 precision ; 9% crit dmg.
ASCENDENT berserker : 188 power ; 137 precision ; 10% crit dmg.

Do you really think 9 points of power precision and just 1% crit dmg difference can change our dmg?
Actually there is no real difference from exotics to ascendent….it’s not even worth waste time to craft them,or to rush in the craft.
Probably near december we will have ascendent armor,and there the things might chance….9 points here,9points there…there would be a difference of 70/80 points per stats…..ONLY when armor kick in game (so there will be armor power+weapons power+jewels power) , they should buff the kits.

I can agree with you that the actually kits scale is still a kick in the face…for example when i equip a kit i still lose 300(and it’s a lot of dmg lost) power points….if you speak about this i can agree with you then.

Sorry for my english,regards.

ok Ty SiNoS

15 chars

where do you see the new ascendent weapons skins?
Do you have any link?

Superfun…considering i crafted and salvaged em all(exotics) and got not a single dark matter,black pearl,or how the heck they call this new t7 material.
Very nice…really…very fun have to spend 24 gold to buy the materials and hit the lvl 450…because as WvW player i have tons of gold….never been that happy after an update….i think this update make me even more happy than when they “fixed” the egnineer turrets to make them more viable.

Excuse me for the noob question:
If i have aetherized rifle skin used on an exotic rifle,can i use this splitter stone to have back the “aetherized rifle skin” only (to apply it on my ascendent rifle)?

Yes , it’s another dumb design decision of Arena Net.
You can clearly see the CD that state 30 minutes,and the tonic duration of 5 minutes.
That allow us understand is not a bug , but is intended.
Plus , there is no one that come here and say “we will fix it”.
After 10 days it would have already get fixed…it’s just a tonic,nothing hard to do as programmer here , just deactivate the timer.
In the end : it is intended to be as it is.

I remember sometime ago, a developer told our comunity about a revamp project about elixiers.
They wanted to get rid of the rng of elixiers.They started with toss elixier U removing the stealth chance.
Then they forgot about that project :P.
I don’t know if anyone is able to find that developer’s thread.
About kits , elixier gun , flamethrower can get some improvements in my opinion.
About gadgets…i really don’t find any use for them apart rocket boots to jump here and there , i would never use another gadget considering i can equip a kit+elixier S.
Turrets….mmmhh…..just lol.
Double lol , if i think they made an update focused on turrets to make them finally viable .
That said, i still have fun with my engie…even if from 1 month i lose every 1 vs 1 when i meet a skilled enemy.But i think it’s just me and my bad month.

fellyn.5083:

Maybe fixed isn’t the correct word to use. Maybe it needs changed. I hope it gets changed.

Color me disappointed when I first used it and realized it only lasts for 5 minutes. Color me even more disappointed when I realized it had a 30 minute cool down.

What were they thinking with such a useless item?

I’m sure that’s the effect the whole comunity experienced.
Yet,no one cares about give us answer like “is working as intended OR we will make it work this way blah blah”.

I’m watching right now your video.
I stopped it ,because log here and say : “LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL” at the part of “eating chaarzooka” was a must.

I can’t stop laugh.I don’t remember the last time i laugh that much.
Sorry for my english.
You made my day,seriusly tnx .
Regards.

Is there any update about the tonic duration/cooldown?
Is there any way to have an Arena Net answer if they gonna change it or not?
Just to have an answer.
I doubt if i open a topic called " dear Mr. (insert Dev. name here) will we get a real endless tonic without any CD" would help.
Or it would?

I don’t belive the OP is a troll.

A troll fix from Anet , like the tooltip fix , would be something we are used to .
I doubt the tonic will have any change at all .
Already parked it on my bank character.

Nirvana.8659:

I doubt this tonic will get fixed…especially because also the Wiki now reports that :
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Infinite_Watchknight_Tonic
The wiki info says it last 5 mins and have a 30 min CD -.- .

When today i downloaded the patch , my wishes were all for the tonic fix .
Self-trolled.

You’re joking right? The designers don’t update the wiki, random players do. And since the info is correct right now, why shouldn’t the wiki say that? If the tonic is updated someone will update the wiki page too.

Rcox.4076:

lol you realize anyone can change a wiki page right?

Ofc didn’t know that :P .
I was thinking the wiki was gaining informations by devs too :O .
But…now i know that , thank you .

Anyway , there is a dozen of topics about the tonic issue (if it’s an issue….) .
They should merge all teh topics , and hopefully give us on forum some news about the tonic (will get fixed , is intended to be as it is ?! ) .

Regards.

As i wrote in another topic , the wiki reports watchwork tonic CD of 30 minutes,and the 5 minutes only trasformation.

If i well understood , the offcial GW2 wiki is updated by Arena net staff too.
Isn’t it ? (pls tell me is not updated by Anet…cause if it is,the wiki is clear about the tonic CD / trasformation duration: 30 min /5 min).

Are we shure the support guy you contacted was speaking about a tonic fix , and , not about a miniature watchknight problem?

I wait another “a new build is ready , your game will restart in 3 minutes” message…in the hope.

Sorry for my english .

" Infinite Watchknight Tonic
Once you complete the Clockwork Chaos meta achievement, you’ll receive a tonic that allows you to transform into a Watchknight at any time. " .

Loled.

They forgot to mention " Anytime means : duration of the tonic is 5 minutes , and CD is 30 minutes".

I approve this unhappyness .

I hope teh tonic duration will be reviewed soon.

A trasformation with 30 mins CD , not usable in WvW , and the disappointing duration of only few minutes.

Ascalonian mage trasformation does not suffer all that problems.
-Ascalonian mage tonic : no CD , usable in WvW , duration 30 minutes (as consumable) and can be recasted immediatly after his effect dissapears.

Watchwork INFINITE tonic , is a reward for an event….it should be AT LEAST the same as the ascalonian mage tonic .

Oh please Arena Net , give us tonics lovers what we would like …. .
It’s only a tonic that does not even modify the character statistics,no reason for a so long CD…or for a CD at all !

Anyway looks like peoples don’t care.

Indeed this is not a main content…it’s only a tonic.
I know it’s a caprice , after all , i’m mainly a WvW player.
But…the only PvE thing i go crazy for are endless tonics.
See a such wonderfull trasformation of 5 min with 30 min CD without any apparently reason , make me go crazy .
Also not aviable in WvW , but i would be happy even if it was aviable in PvE without any CD.
There is already the ascalonian trasformation,it have no CD , and it’s also aviable in WvW.

The only hope i have , is Arena Net to recieve enough feedback , to change idea and make that tonic work in a different way .

Yeah i see i can’t use it in WvW.
Another no-sense to me .
You can use Ascalon trasformation as much as you want with no CD and in WvW also.
The transformation does not influece your statistics like power,precision,toughtness,condition damage…..so….why after an achievement prize that all can obtain put a CD on use?
Also….few mins transformation and 30 MIN COOLDOWN??
Lol.
Overpowered ofc .

Come on Arena net, make some of us happy with a simply little and stupid things,give us a real infinite use of this tonic ,at least in PvE…..Pleaseeeeeeeeee!

Hello.
I just obtained my tonic from live story today.The (semi)-infinite Watchknight tonic.

Is there any chance to see it really unlimited as “duration”?

I was so happy about the trasformation…but while using it , i suddenly become again an asura…then i understood there was a cooldown (not even in the tonic description).
30+ minutes to transform again?Seriusly Oo ?

Also , why a cooldown on a tonic that just change the appearence without modify any character statistic??
It’s not overpowered…..it’s just a cool trasformation .

Please Arena Net , let us be trasformed as much as we want.
Who does not want to be transformed anymore,can double click it…but let who wants to remain transformed be able to do it.
Pleeeeeeaseeeeee.

Regards (sorry for my engish).

i was super happy….finally i was not trapped in my asura body anymore.
But then the surprise….it last few minutes and you have to wait 30 min to reuse this…

It’s an awesome tonic but the CD…..it’s useless,let me use an unlimited item as much as i want…o call it “semi-unlimited”.

@Nirvana

after some time translating your dialect lol…….

Ahahahahah , i know what i wrote is not even near to the english (and as in my sign , i apologize for that) .
Thank you for the time dedicated to try understand it .

Regards .

I don’t pretend ppls to share my opinions….but…..

Say this rune set is not overpowered , is like go read a thief complain where all say :
- “thief is OP pls nerf blackpowder+heartseeker permastealth combo” ;
And ofc the only peoples that contest this statement are the thieves who answer :
-“there are tons of way to counter a permastealth thieves noobs learn to play”

As alrady stated , engineer is the class that have more CC/stuns/knock or disable skills in general.
Joking aside,i can stack 20 confusion using: magnetic inversion,static shield,pry bar,supply crate. As bonus static shot + the free 20% confusion chance….let’s say in 6/7 secs i’m able to put on 25 stacs of confusion.
And i have not even used all the disable ability i can use with my set…

Developers should improve some of our skills , as i stated with this rune set , there are a lot of skills that suddenly become more usefull , but you can’t say this rune set is not overpowered “because it give engineer more build diversity”.
You can’t say engineer is strong for this rune set : the fact is engineer is ALREADY strong himself (with some problem like all classes) , and with this rune set engineer become a real overpowered monster.
I think any true engineer player , with a fair point of view , should confirm this.

Mesmers…pfff…..i eat mesmers with this runes as engineer….and i already got some 1 vs 1 with mesmers using this runes…it was a race in confusion stacking , with the only problem i was able to stack on him 25 confusion in 8 secs WHILE also causing BURNING,bleeding,poison and almost a perma interrupt.
I also lost some duel , but just because i done some really noob error.

And the simple fact that the duels become a “confusion stacking race” should tell us how this runes impact the gameplay and every condition based class , in a negative way.

Oh,and if i have to whine about not having build diversity,i would do it because the TRAIT of my class wont allow me build diversity(and it’s not the case,i have a lot of builds to put on the table)…not because a RUNE nerf hitted EVERY easy-mode gameplay/build.
If i like easy mode i can go play my thief…seriusly.

P.S: my gosh it’s a wall of text!

This runes are completely overpowered.
We will see em nerfed to the ground (i hope).
I can put 25 stack of confusion without any problem…..

A class that actually need some efford to be played , with this runes , becomes just another easy-mode / brainless spamming-based class (NOTE: this considerations are directed to the easy runes abuse , i’m not speaking about the OP Ukuni as player that only shows what this runes can do).

That makes me sorry.
Because thanks to this runes finally my shields skills (apart a knockback and an interrupt ) are able to do some considerable damage.
Also my flametrower #3 actually feels more usefull.
Even elixier X is suddenly more usefull.
But usefull should be =/= from overpowered.

Anyway , nice show Ukuni ;D .

Regards.

Thanks for the fast answer .
It wasn’t clear enough , but now it is :P .
Problem solved!

Hello guys.
Today i decided to make a test build , using sigil of energy on my pistol(50% endurance on swap) and sigil of battle on my shield(3stack of might on swap).
Problem:only 1 sigil works (the last weapon i equip will have his sigil work).
The result is : or i have +50% endurance OR i have 3 stackof might on weapon swap.

Is it intended?Is it a bug?

I tested it in WvW , where i pass all my time.
Not tested in the heart of the mist.

So sad i can’t reset my powers……guards leech,the new upcoming courier speed…….
All better than my ballista+ siege might…..
Really,i hope they will allow us to reset our powers and reskill them.
At this point is better don’t spend points at all,cause the next update there will always be something , more usefull to skill for.

Glad i’m not the only one who desire to reset WvW power points.

250 badge?
Sounds nice,finally i would have something usefull to invest my 53k badge in …. .

Ok thank you for the answer , i also asked it in game they told me is not possible to do it.
Was just to know if there was already a way to reset the WvW skill/ability.

Hello.
As you can see , month after month the WvW keep getting new skills.
I have around 150 point atm,and i spent them all in ballista + siege might ability since day 1.
But,with the new skills incoming (and others already there that i’ve not tested) , i’d like to give them a try , and then decide what does fit better my game.

Is there a way to reset the point i have already spent , and try some different ability?

Regards.
