the dev said that the damage of iberzerker whirl is spread across its path.. and its damaging just fine in their dmg meters. so i doubt it will be fixed..
maybe, the iberzerker damage from before is the one thats not normal.. hitting most hits when it connects to the targets,.
mirror Blade and full Spatial Surge does more damage then izerker, this is normal to you? You think when izerker was hitting for 4.5-8k it was bugged and the 2k damage you get now is fine? lol funny. Not only it doesn’t deal any damage but it doesn’t cripple properly nor apply bleeds from sharper images…

1. Remove gem store from gw2
2. add 300 new utilities for each class (yes, that’s right, 300!), let us use much more weapons with each class, let us use spear on land and most importantly as i’ve said that 1 million times, let us swap skills on weapons and i want many to chose from, not freaking 2 or three…

None existent build versatility is my biggest complain. The reason i played gw1 was for that, builds. The reason i bought gw2 was 1. cuz gw1 was awesome and this a sequel 2. i thought builds would be at least 1/4 of what we had in gw1 but at the end we don’t even have 1/100.
Atrocious voice acting (worst i’ve seen in a game in years), quite frankly i never seen a high budget game with such bs voice acting…
pve culling is just lol, very funny to have something like that in a game released in 2012
no gvg (i don’t think i need to say anything about it)
trash pvp and looks like anet is sticking to it lol spvp in this game
Clipping. omg, has anyone ever seen THAT much clipping in any games ever released? i haven’t and i play all kind of genres…
Armors. I don’t know its because the game has a very little amount of armors or the fact that they mostly look the same but you cannot look ‘original’ in gw2. every1 look the same…
Missions. What happened to those? i liked to pug main story in NM and HM, i did not bought a mmo to solo whole campaign and DAT campaign lol all i remember is auto spamming turrets on the last boss, very memorable.
So yeaaaaaaah, that’s some of my ‘problems’ with this game/

Applying hard mode to the word and call it a day would be so stupid and boring end game if that’s what they’ll call it. Adding HM to current dungeon wouldn’t do much good because anet failed with all of them. Not a single dungeon out is fun. What they should do is start adding new dungeons (not mini dungeons that last crappy 15 minutes and are time limited) but real dungeons. If they’re lazy they could just rebuild urgoz/the deep/uw/fow and release one every three or four months. All of them would include HM and these would be the first gw2 zones that can be played in HM.

I wouldn’t recommend constantly bumping threads… if I was a dev I would just start to ignore that topic as to not reward the constant bumping. I would like to see some sort of update on what’s going on with this though…
Reward? Its THEIR GAME and our best phantasm is dead, a skill is broken and they’re ignoring the issue. If it was broken for a month then it would be excusable, for two it would be funny cuz they can’t fix something that simple (reverse the freaking izerker to its previous state if it takes you A YEAR to find the bug………………..) but almost 5 months is laughable and worth telling your friends that don’t even play gw2. They refuse to do something with our useless Torch, Scepter, izerker and Mind Stab that everyone ignores cuz its THAT bad.

Greatsword Master mostly. The reduction in CD’s on GS plus it’s not always easy on every boss fight to keep 3 illusions up which would reduce the benefit of compounding power.
if u ever weapon swap its easy. and since izerker bug its even less worth taking gs mastery-.-

This is what i run on Phantasm build for wvw or when bored of spamming shatter in dungeons.
10/25/0/25/10
Domination: Empowered Illusions
Dueling: Phantasmal Fury, Deceptive Evasion (to have three illusions permanently up)
Inspiration: Persisting Images (don’t like this one so run Glamour Mastery instead often), Temporal Enchanter (especially when running Glamour Mastery)
Illusions: Compounding Power in this one is a no brainer.I think 20/20/0/25/5 is stronger for dungeons. The extra 5 in dueling seems like a waste and the extra 10 in domination is more powerful than Compounding Illusions in my opinion.
The five points of Dueling were left overs, nothing really worth taking but higher crit hit damage and crit chance is never bad (my crit damage is over 80% on that build). What you spec 20 in dom for, greatsword mastery and additional 100 power? Don’t see any traits worth it and compouding power with high crit damage is much better.

But you cannot shatter the whole time because of the shatter cooldowns, that’s why i think hybrid is better
well its not like you’re never spamming your fantasms when running a shatter spec. CD on shatter is quick enough with 30 in illusions anyway.
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
phantasm builds are garbage in dungeons compared to shatter because 1. they die in seconds (SoL not working properly) 2. poor aoe. When doing easy crap like TA or CoF you can run the 10/25/0/25/10 for fun but if doing fractals 40+ you’re just wanting to be less useful.

FXAA doesn’t even use 1 frame and if you don’t have sweetfx (dunno how can ppl play gw2 without it lol) installed you should be using FXAA.
It takes a bit more than one frame off the frame rate. And honestly at this resolution I don’t really notice the jaggies.
Also the few areas where I’m only getting 20, I would rather not get 18-19.
It take one fps. FXAA is not demanding at all, that’s why its the worst AA option as well (unless you like blurry fest). And i always find it funny when someone says jaggies aren’t noticeable on 1080p lol they’re as noticeable as they’re in 720p (which they’re VERY). Unless you’re playing in 1440p+ AA is needed but if you don’t care and like chainsaw looking edges that’s fine by me lol.

And if you go to their forums they talk about how broken they are……like, what more do you want? Like do you want the pet to actually eat the other player in one bite and then sh——- a picture of the player’s decomposed body on the player’s class forums?
Play one before talking about those who say they’re broken… Ranger has BM build and trapper build, both with same weapons, yaaaaay. Build diversity is none existent on ranger and 95% of traits are $&$%, that’s why everyone who’ve played one for more than an hour know how of a change this class needs.

Yeah lets add an additional 30sec CD on all phantasms so mez has them on weapons but can only spawn one once per game… Mez is powerful for 1v1, phantasms builds are powerful for 1v1… deal with it or run a mez.
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
Agreed i think they should also increase CD on all phantasms by 30 sec, have a 10 CD from deceptive evasion, distortion completely removed, blurred frenzy CD increased to 25sec, Mind Wrack set to neutral damage of 500 per illusions, IP deals 50% less damage from all shatter, pull on focus to have 200 range, Magic Bullet to stun for 0.2sec and CD increased to 60sec, Phase Retreat make it so it doesn’t make you ‘retreat’ and CD of 25sec. This should have been done months ago i don’t know why we’re even talking about this 9 months in…

Yoh is very right, action combat needs action on both ends. Monster Hunter is the best feeling game I’ve played in a long time.
I’m getting goosebumps imagining the Shatterer acting like a Rathalos (including hunting them down accross the zone)
calm down breh, the shatterer can stand still and use his attack that don’t hit anyone. That’s enough for anet. But i agree, it would be awesome if all of a sudden gw2 became more like MH or dark souls, omfg if only it was like dark souls……………………………………….

2.5GHz A8-3820 running with it’s integrated graphics, HD 6550D.
Running 1600×900 with most gaming settings set close to quality. No FXAA or high end filtering. Roaming alone I can get 25-30 (I’m capping at 30). More complex areas like the cities I get lower. Yes it can get very low in WvW but I hear that’s common even on rigs that are much better equipped than mine. I just don’t get involved with HUGE zerg on zerg combats. Smaller zerg on zerg still gives me a playable frame rate.

I agree. I miss the days when i was doing urgoz/the deep before the metas. It was challenging, long, fun and when you’ve finally completed it it felt good and most importantly reward was there. The only thing you want to do after you run is done is take a short break and go again and again and again. not a single dungeon in gw2 feels this way. Anet, add a mega dungeon with increased number of players (to 10 or 12) with significantly harder content (as it would be in fotm lev50+ but without agony of course) and ANYTHING in the game can drop there (all mats and droppable equipment) with a guaranteed random lev80 exotic at end chest (don’t bs your new dungeon with DR!!!). Of course such a dungeon would ‘kill’ all other dungeons because all others have no reward whatsoever but who cares? they’re all garbage without exceptions.

I don’t think that makes up for the loss of so much dps each time you inflict 1 stack of low duration vulnerability. There are better ways to support.
The “support” argument also loses water when you talk about running solo.
I believe that the vulnerability is there so that the skill would remain balanced if the bounce trait was working. Conditions would stack too fast if the vulnerability was not there but with the current bug its just a hindrance for pure condition builds.
That’s why staff projectiles are so slow. Slow kitten projectiles and RNG with vulnerability is too much.
Fact: every Thief tells you to “l2p” when the subject is to nerf stealth.
that would be soooooo juicy on trident but i’d preferred if they removed vulnerability on WoC first.
If they added in the extra bounce it would be fine for them to leave it. I doubt they’ll ever remove it though tbh… it has PvE applications/benefits for it to remain on as part of the possibilities… as well as in power based builds.
1stack of vulnerability has no use anywhere in the game… You get 20-25 stacks from Illusion Vulnerability/Dazzling/Diversion in couple of seconds and 1 stack has uses in pve lol. Mez has no access to poison other than on Chaos Storm which i won’t even call that access to poison so vulnerability could be replaced by it (2sec of poison would be fair).
Hell even 1sec of poison would be waaaaaaay better than crappy 1stack of vulnerability.I agree that the vulnerability is out of place on the auto-attacks. It makes the attacks even more RNG as they have a chance to do drastically less damage that is not compensated by a few seconds of +1% dmg. RNG reduces the impact of skill on gameplay, so I dislike this.
I’m not sure about adding poison, as that has additional affects aside from just condition damage. I would be happier if the auto-attacks just had a chance to bleed or burn.
that would be perfectly fine as well. But if they add Pistol MH it better have some spammable poison cuz its what i miss on mez the most.

What makes me think that its not as hard as they are saying it is are the fixes that they issued for the torch right after the same patch that broke izerker. Double blast finisher and perma stealthing on the torch were both fixed with in 2 days… So what’s taking this one so long?
I guess I have to repeat myself. Some bugs are stupidly easy to find. Others are buried under mountains of code. I’ve even run into some where my scripting was flawless but the way the compiler interpreted it in a way I didn’t intend and that borked the entire process. Oh, and I’ve accidentally assigned a string variable type and tried to transfer its value to an integer type. That created a lovely mess as well. And then there’s the nightmare of every coder imaginable. When you’re hired to continue on behind another programmer and they didn’t place a single annotation anywhere in the literally hundreds to thousands of pages of code to tell you what the hell their crap does.
There is a reason why programmers get paid almost as much as doctors. The profession is literally a NIGHTMARE, sometimes requiring 12 to 14 hour days, lots of focus, nerves of steel and the patience to withstand a never-ending cycle of trial and error. I’ve had days where I crashed face first into my bed, too tired to even remove my shoes and only to wake up in a cold sweat two hours later because of disturbing dreams involving terms like “undefined” and “invalid syntax”. It is not for the faint of heart.
If you really want to know how bad programming is, just take a look at the coding for this thread and try your best to understand it.
But if you guys just HAVE to complain about something, the tooltip for the scepter is fair game. That is a simple string constant that should have been fixed after BWE2. Knock yourselves out!
Absolutely ZERO excuses for not finding a bug in what? FIVE MONTHS? lolololol. If they have one person assigned for the job and he looked into it for 1h in the passed 5 months then i can understand why they haven’t fund anything but if there’s people constantly looking into it and not finding anything that’s just lols skills. As i suggested in another thread, DECREASE the speed of izerkers travel time and make it spawn closer to the enemy. These devs seem to not try anything when x class doesn’t become OP because of x skill (this applies to Torch directly).

My suggestion for SB.
Crossfire: Lower its damage to as low as it can be and remove flaking.
Poison Volley: Replace it completely… Would like a skill that is single target, moderate damage and sets foes on fire for 3-5sec.
Quick Shot: Remove swiftness if it hit and replace it it by poisoning your target for 6sec.
Crippling Shot: This skill is a joke… 3sec cripple LOLOL wtf were they thinking… Increase cripple for at least 6sec and gives three stacks of bleeding for 6sec, CD increased to 13sec.
Concussion Shot: Be like Magic Bullet on mez pistol but doesn’t bounce which means a 2sec stun from no matter where you hit your target from.

As a ranger a large percentage of our damage comes from our pet which you can’t just remove and deal more damage. Anet doing all kind of useless things to our pets but one of the most important was never even mentioned. Why some F2 skills take 45sec to a minute to CD? Am i here to swap pets THREE times before CD refreshes? I suggest all CD should be reduced to a maximum of 30sec (and that is only for the most powerful ones such as fear/stun) because i want to use pet abilities and not wait 10 minutes for them to CD. It would also be nice if all other none F2 pet abilities were significantly CD reduced cuz its an Ai and no one wants to wait 1 minute for X ability because our pet missed a KD or whatever.
