I used shatter build in dungeons since october 2012 and it was and is still way better than anything one of those phantasms-that-dies-from-sneeze could offer.
Was looking at this thread laughing at everyone suggesting phantasms over shatter and then seen this. At least one of you played pve that isn’t world exploration where mobs deal 3 damage per three hours… I won’t be going into details why shatter is way better than phantasm builds because i’ve done this plenty of times on this forum so enjoy your “i run a phantasm build, my 3 phantasms will all kill da things~~~~~ 4-6sec later they’re all dead” and you’re left with your autos. Some of you here never done anything challenging in pve and probably suggesting a phantasm builds because of easy sauce dungeon paths or open world you’ve done.
Instead of this, they should have removed spirit effects on everyone but the ranger and his pet and when spirits die, they’re on CD of 5-7sec. 25sec CD is stupid knowing its all your utilities. Does a phantasm go on CD after being used? Yes and that’s how spirits should be.
Not if your doing fractals and tanking up AR = easy survivability
you get the simple infusions for 75 relics then, not spend ~50g for +5 agony and +5 of X stat…
Maybe in 2015.
I also heard it was 2015!
100 powerful bloods each in mystic forge with +5 power and +5 AR
RIP OFF!!! LOL
its not a ripoff, its the biggest ripoff on all items in the game.
Think i’ll shut down my brain and go farm champs for like 3h straight zombie mode. Because getting weapon smiting to 500 is boring, a pain and so kitten costly…
Anet should learn to put ‘rare’ items in challenging content instead of ALWAYS being craftable inside mystic toilet or crafting stations. GW2 is becoming a Craft Simulation game and i don’t play an MMO to craft all my %$#& and then stand in a city asking myself why i spent so much time/money crafting an item when there’s no content to be experienced with it.
Want a legendary? buy one off the tp (or buy 90% of the mats and “grind” the skillpoints/karma needed) want minis? buy them off the tp. Want anything? buy it off the tp.
what in this game is even worth showing off to other people? What can I get for 2000 hours of playing your game that a fresh 80 cant get with a creditcard?
Liandri mini?
In a game that have bizillion minis and new ones added EVERY SINGLE patch… your mini will only be noticed by you and you only.
I notice people’s minis sometimes if its something I like.
to even noticed them, you need to be outside LA plus, an unique looking armor or weapon would’ve been much more noticeable and useful… Anet chose the easy path, lets spam minis instead of giving the players hard to attain and nice looking equipment.

Even Fractal weapons look better AND have a trail… these have nothing but this Fisher Price glow lol
What are we supposed to craft from 400 to 500? I made some ori ingots, got to 423 and now have no idea what to craft? Are we supposed to craft freaking exotics we’ve unlocked at 400? Do not compute.
Yes.
You are going to have to craft exotics all the way to 500.
Yes….take a second to let that sink in.
Then just make a legendary. About the same money required…swappable stats.
If legendary weapons didn’t need 100% map exploration i may have done that but no way in hell im mapping the 31% left.

They look atrocious (but the pistol)…
At least rangers are left with Crossfire spam lol
Now imagine if it takes this amount of mats per ascended armor piece +2 weeks per piece HAHAH will be glorious.
Anet has no flying &^$% idea what a ranger should be in this game. I won’t go as far as saying they killed spirit rangers because i haven’t even played one since patch BUT 1 engi focusing spirits with nades is enough to let all your utilities on CD and you’ll be seeing dat 25sec quite a lot…

Exactly. Its D3 all over again-.-
Dear goodness.
I knew it would be bad, but that is just taking it to a ridiculous extreme. Seriously 500 dust, fragments, and ore? You have got to be kidding me. And it’s time gated to make it even worse.
What did they expect of this? Was this designed to be fun?
As if they knew what fun is supposed to be (looking at the passed year and their added content)…

If DE is nerfed or removed, this is a game uninstall for me. Not qqing or anything but THIS trait is THE trait and if gone im gone. Never ran nor will ever bother running builds without it so changing something as important is almost like deleting a class.
This patch is all about “We added three new minis -, -, Super Banana” That is all.
This won’t happen. GW2 earned its spammer title for a reason.
Yes, everyone would be picking up the best traits but where is the problem in that? Right now you ‘may’ be forced to take stuff that isn’t very good or not needed because there’s nothing else you want in that tree. If we had free allocation of traits, we would be taking EXACTLY what you need/want and those traits no one uses could get an overhaul from devs because, well, they’re useless. I really don’t understand how could anyone deny this… its not like im asking this to be done for myself but everyone in the game. Build variety per class is below pathetic level when compared to gw1, just sayin.
Traits are fine as they are.
In fact in Guild Wars 2 Build variety is almost the same as in Guild Wars 1.
C’mon now…
Sure, but then would you see it? And if there is a different effect for each sigil (or rune set), then don’t you need to make them more distinct than just a slight green weapon glow so you can tell them apart?
What do you think about free allocation of traits (minor and major)? A lot of folks want this to happen because it would significantly increase build variety per class for pve, pvp, wvw. I don’t know if you guys consider your Trait trees any good but i personally hate them because we’re locked to X skills if we want Y skill at 20 trait points.
Do NOT nerf mah Mind Wrack or i will chase you until the end of time and throw rocks at you. I know most people cry about mesmers for three things, 1- izerker, 2- iDuelist (which isn’t even aoe) and 3- mind Wrack. If MW is nerfed the only real other aoe we have is iZerker and there’s rumors of nerfing fantasms… Class has no aoe! Leave mesmers alone!!!!!
What’s the problem? You want all ranged weapons to be 900 range since SB range decreased from 1200 to 900?
I use it but not for “wacky settings” but anti aliasing. FXAA given by anet is the worst AA i’ve ever seen in a video game, blur fest maximus.
These ascended weapons looks ugly… how is it a skin from champs like Genesis or Crystal Guardian looking light years ahead of this boring brown crap?
Its a Facebook MMO title, yes.
Ain’t nobody got time to remove white/grey/blue “loot” from gw2.

“If someone wants to play for a thousand hours to get an item that is so rare that other players can’t realistically acquire it, that rare item should be differentiated by its visual appearance and rarity alone” Can someone please tell me where is this item at? Was it deleted with all hardcore dungeons? I really hope he wasn’t referring to legendary weapons because there’s only thousands of them in LA alone lmao. Where is dat “soooooo kitten rare” item?
its a mini pet, a thing anet adds with every single patch as if it was a new currency so hard to care about one mini when there’s hundreds other useless ones.
No, but we’re almost done with pre-alpha stage of gw2.
If this happens and we can find people easily to map x zone with their lfg tool i may just spend all my money and get the useless legendary, its not like there’s anything worth spending your money on.
How can so many people be unable to derive meaning from context?
It’s Monster Hunter, a series well known for its excellent mechanics wherein you take down gigantic creatures as a team.
It’s a cinematic because it implies Monster Hunter games as a whole.
on mmo forums i wouldn’t be surprised if some didn’t even knew what Call of Duty, Halo or Gears of War is lol Most people in here know nothing else but WoW and the current game they’re play, gw2.
Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Dragon’s Dogma and soon DA: Inquisition is the games anet should look at if they want to learn how to animate a dragon in 2013 because their stationary jokes are just that, jokes.
you should visit a site such as gamespot if you want people to build you a gaming rig. here, most are playing on some $500 overpriced BestBuy garbage.
was expecting ~5k lol 17k is pretty high for what this crap really is
Give you a false impression of end game which gw2 doesn’t have.
lol this kind of suggestion would’ve never been suggested if this was gw1 and gw1 had mystic toilet. In gw2 they’re spamming you with so many minis its almost like another useless currency like Karma lmao. Now people want to combine 4 minis for ascended mats LOLOLOL
^what about not adding a single title for once and give use content to play instead?
Or what about Both :o !!!
Gw1 had the best titles, like the asuran one with not too shabby
sure but gw1 wasn’t adding a new title every two weeks or a month. Titles felt unique (just like gw1 minis). In gw2 they’re spamming you with minis and titles as if some1 was unloading an Uzi.
World PvE: Good, just like every other class since generic PvE is terribly easy; you tend to die less due to most gibs being melee ranged.
PvE dungeons: Pretty much on the bottom unless you’re good with GS/Sword meleeing.
sPvP: Definitely above average with spirit build, else only good in hotjoin.
WvW: Bad zerg cohesion, bad solo ability.
extremely wrong on the last two. Spirit rangers aren’t just good but in the top and saying they’re only good for hotjoin is plain funny… Same thing for solo roaming, spirit rangers are extremely effective for 1v1’s and have very good mobility. Outside spirits there’s nothing worth mentioning since BM overnerf.

Guild Wars 2 Legendary Supporter – Buy over 1600gems with real money.
Really? I’d have this at least 10 times over.
1600 gems is only rank one, there’s 300 ranks. Good luck.
i bet someone has already bought that many gems
For brand new pink carrots added with every patch? of course.

Lets say they give you two guaranteed rares every time you kill him. Is it really worth your time? I don’t know about the rest but im not gonna camp him for two rares as i camped maw/shat/teq when game was released.
They would make a ton if they did this
The question isn’t ‘if’ but ‘when’. Then lipsticks will be added (130 gems per color), haircuts (300 gems each) this will be the time of major gw2 transformation all gw1 fans feared the most. So be patient, its coming.
What exactly is there to destroy if they haven’t even got the opportunity to add anything?
Straight from Hello Kitty Online and beastin like that? kitten
