what did you expect in a game where you can fire a poisonous cow from a catapult
I got 7 boxes, got **** from them, will never get a single other box. Waste of karma even when karma is useless, boxes are THAT trashy.
You’re getting something by spending something that, to you, has zero value. You can’t “waste” that.
I keep telling myself one day karma will have a use, one day
i dunno if its impossible but i keep on getting garbage groups that don’t even know wtf agony is. Yesterday i got 3 people AT LEVEL 30 fractals that had 0-5AR (one of them didn’t even knew agony was in this game). That kitten me the **** off… This was a really bad idea, anet, really bad. At least let us see what’s people AR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because anet wants you to waste money on their unid dyes crap from gem store.
Its an okay change but why it applies bleeding for 3sec? Should be 5sec to compensate confusion. Mesmer is still great underwater but i feel like its much much weaker 1v1 now.
Bleeding is generally shorter stacks when it is massively stackable, this follows with the pattern that most skills applying bleeds use.
Yeah i got it but clones attack slower than we’re and base damage from trident autos is kitten poor. Five sec is what i should be me think

Since game launch i find that a full rabid with gs/staff (for max illusions spam and cripple from zerker when needed), 0/20/20/0/30 with sigil of energy on both weapons is the best build to troll in hotjoin. almost every game some1 cry and call for mesmer nerfs. So good at killing D/D eles and make them rage and there’s lots of them lmao.
This trait is a remnant from beta that they never got around to updating. Clones used to do about 1/4th of your attack damage, the trait also used to be 30%. Combined with IP (which did your personal shatter at infinite range on your target) Mesmers were extremely nasty. Oh, and The Prestige was a real invisibility back then too (no channeling). Needless to say, we were quite a bit different than we are now. Oh, and then there was the beta when Phantasmal Haste was bugged to reduce attack CDs by 80% instead of 20%, so Duelist’s spammed non-stop.
My god that sounds awesome. All those OP skills would be so fun to use if all classes had OP stuff.
looked like something a mesmer should be wearing but the end we got pole dancer armors. I don’t know why gw2 doesn’t have profession specific armors like in gw1?? That was great. Now we have strippers running everywhere and the majority of armors are plain ugly.
There was plenty of threads like this and i myself have weapons and over 30 rings i have no use for but devs never answered and they don’t care. Its sad we have such discussion when EVERYTHING you get in dungeons should be sellable which will help you with money and wvw only players (and there’s a bunch of them) would be extremely happy to buy ascended stuff from you. Anet don’t understand or don’t want to.
agreed, however i feel that this will not be implemented. i am just about to delete one of my toons to free up another character place. he has 42k in karma that i stand to loose…NOT HAPPY
Get an exotic armor from Orr traders and salvage it for ectos lol not worth wasting 42k karma. Back to my original post i just don’t understand why karma is per character? Like what’s the point…
Gold is a currency and character transferable. Laurels is a currency and is acc bound. Karma is a currency and is NOT acc bound. Why? Karma should be exactly like Laurels, all of your characters can access the same pool.
can we get a devs answer to why we can’t trade Prestine Relics for ascended amulets? What’s the reason behind this!? Ascended gear was ‘born’ in fotm, every ascended gear should be available there.
Ascended gear is just a part of gear progression, it shouldn’t be available only in fractals meaning it doesn’t have to be available there as well. People were moaning about lack of options beside fractals, you can do it now ;p
i’m not saying ascended gear shouldn’t be elsewhere but all ascended gear should be available in fotm. I have 57 prestine relics right now and would like to use them instead of waiting a month to get a freaking 1 amulet with Laurels. I need multiple amulets for multiple builds do i want to wait months? Hell no… Its not like i want amulets to be easily awarded but for someone who does 2 dailies each day we shouldn’t be waiting months but trade our prestine relics that are collecting dust right now

finally done. only took 6 months, gg.
this is their biggest mistake. release a game that has no build variety whatsoever
i like how they’re nerfing a broken class that can only spam traps and SB’s auto…
don’t worry they will update it one day, in a year or two
all crap changes everyone will forget 5 hours after their change. who uses these skills… illusion of life has it use in fotm but who seriously care about rally off of a rat
this is what pisses me off since fotm was added. Instead of talking about new rewards/skins/dungeons/bosses/trash mobs we’re talking about ******** agony. What a waste of………..
prestine/fractal relics, ascended rings you don’t need, ascended mats are all useless and looks like anet don’t care. I have almost 50 ascended shards, give me a freaking craftable weapon/armor that requires them (and the req should be at least 30 shards so not everyone gets it easily).
got so used to spamming fotm in the past two months that i forgot you can even rez rush
where is poker? all i want is play poker and not a sloppy one but something like in RDR.
FXAA is a blurry mess and without the game is a jaggy town
Can we expect TXAA or any other anti aliasing options in the near future?
I think you’ve demonstrated the very reason they won’t allow them to be salvaged.
You have 20+ of them. If they allowed you to salvage for ectos, that’s 0-60 ectos. Multiply that by however many people have rings saved up and it’s quite an influx of ectos into the economy.
And why is that a bad thing exactly?
Oh wait, its not.
Because anet wants you to farm gem store. I have 37 rings and 31 has no use so i don’t know what they do but something must be done… im not here to merch ascended quality rings for 4s/each…
Sword/Warhorn for Power Based Builds
Sword/Dagger for Condition Based Builds
Sword/Torch much better for condi builds.
2.Mesmer and thief are stripped of annoying mechanics completely ( portal, clone spam, moa,stealth should be on 20 sec cd etc),
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
Why would the door hit me i left months ago as any sane person would do.You must be playing one of the cheap classes (mesmer, thief) and have developed some sort of superiority complex because you can kill new players silly enough to even try pvp in this game. LOL people like you are pathetic.
-Left months ago
-regularly posts
-strong life.Yeah i still post here because, believe it or not , i was a big fan of GW 2 prepurchased it on the first day they started selling it and played it since bwe 1.I would not be posting at all if i didnt have hope that they can improve this game substantially because potential is still there even tho everything they did from bwe 2 ( free allocation of traits removed,) till now was to make this game worse.Also, unlike you, i dont attack people on a personal level unless they start it first, but i understand that if someone lacks arguments and brainpower, like you, to confront my opinions and arguments they will always stoop to your level .
This game had free allocation of traits and they removed THAT?? Holy **** that’s not smart at all, anet. I had no idea this was in the game and even made a thread about this as a suggestion a week ago… They should seriously consider to change this back as it was so we can actually use traits we want to use and not be forced to spend points in a certain tree just for 1 trait…
Fav skill: Phase Retreat because this skill is da bwosssss. Worst skill: Mind Stab (duhhhh lol). My fav utility for pve is mirror and decoy for pvp. Fav Trait would be Deceptive Evasion, i wouldn’t be playing mesmer if this skill wasn’t on one of the mesmer trees.
Have it installed and if it wasn’t of gw2 i’d still play pvp daily
Thief is blatantly mid tier :/
Ele/Guardians/Rangers/Mesmers are much stronger classes.
A ranger!? haha.
I stopped at level 40 which i fully pugged and it is by far the hardest if you have no guardian or at least mesmer.
Imagine if you could lock pets and be given their stats (maybe not 100% transfer but a good amount). Would be soooo good.
Vapour Form is our downed Skill (#2)
Mist Form is a can trip (Skill utility)Vapor Form* That thing shouldn’t be restoring downed HP after each use and im surprised that it does after almost 6 months.
I spell it vapour due to my country.
Furthermore, each use of vapour form puts another downed penalty on us, so in case of rally we will have very low HP and easy kills.
Secondly, vapour form has no cool down before use meaning if you press 2 just before being downed you will have wasted our only viable downed skill (shocking spell sucks….bbbbaaadddllyy, i don’t even press it, that bad of a skill……warrior rocks do more damage than it…rocks!?)Okay lets say we’re both downed at same time and no1 is around to pick you or me up. Im spamming my autos (any class) and wait for skill 3 to recharge while losing health spamming skill 1 hoping to win while downed. You can Vapor form a corner (where my attacks can’t reach you) and fully regen then finish me off. That would make an ele win against any classes but warrior. But even a warrior has a penalty, he dies after his skill 3, nothing much happens after vapor form
And a Mesmer can have 3 phantasms/clones up and pew pewing the Ele, a Thief can also teleport (and stealth) to block line of sight and Engi can pull the Ele towards them with that horrible grapple skill.
Yup but none of them fulled regen downed state HP.
And an ele can kill you from downed state like a mesmer can, you seem to watch only at one side of the spectrum, thieves and mesmer deal huge dmg from downed state…you seem to forget about that
That’s not my point. My point being is no matter what kind of damage your opponent have, you can always get out of LoS with vapor and fully regen. Thief/Mesmer damage won’t be doing much if they can’t reach you. All you have to do against any class but warrior is, start spamming skill 1 (yes the useless one), your enemy will be spamming his, you both will be taking damage, couple of sec of spamming skill one just vapor form out LoS and you instantly win because you have your full downed HP and your enemy >50%.

The more weapons, the more skills to use/play with the better. +1
I was going through nukas posts….face palm.
Why so much hate nuka? I guess you got killed by the same ele over and over again….
Obviously you didn’t read my post nor even bother look up sources, all you want to do is QQ about a class that you have no knowledge in.
Yes, my ele is my main with 675 hours on it (700hour on whole account).
Anyway, your post refers you to dying so much because of l2p issues…that is what i have gathered from your posts tbh.
Look up sources, information.
Wasn’t even hate or trolling, just saying it will be nerfed and knowing anet since gw1 they will nerf it to the ground. Thief is next so thief spammers be rdy for feb/march
. Back to D/D ele i don’t have a problem against a d/d ele (at least on mesmer) BUT i do have problem with eles removing condi as much as they do. From all the things a d/d ele can do the condi removal is what should be looked at first, then regen/protection spam and another thing that is ridiculous is mist form fully restoring your downed state HP after each use and it can be used quite often.
To reduce the overall performance of a weapon set …doesn’t mean you’ll win against good eles after the patch, furthermore no doubt the mesmer is th next in line to be the most QQed profession so feb-march will be your time and make sure to be ready for the aoe nerf which will include mind wrack without a doubt
haha mesmer is the most over nerfed class since game was launched so i doubt that. The only thing that will make me QQ (A LOT) is if they change (nerf) Deceptive Evasion. Don’t care about shatter damage decrease and if they do they better give us aoe skills because shatter is all we have.
As a matter of fact, the mesmer along with the thief are the only profession which have received a huge buff before release, on top of my head I can rememeber:
-50% HP increase of clones and illusion
-dmg buff
-traps buff
-venoms buff
-dagger storm buff
-HS buffThe only professions which have received huge nerfs since and before launch are ele, necro and engineer, I got numbers-videos and links to threads as proof of what I’m saying, can you say the same for your claim that mesmer is the most nerfed profession in this game?
If the 0.25 GCD and bug fix for the might stack trait are considered nerfs by you…I dunno what to say really
I won’t talk about thieves because its not a class i play but if you think mesmers had a damage buff no just no. Back in BW mesmers phantasms were waaaaaaaay more powerful than they’re now (cuz they were actually attacking more than once per century), since 15th November even tho anet says its fine the iZerker misses lots of it attacks, dies on spawn and im not even talking about the stupid thing anet added that fails to spawn illusions on invul/while blinded/blocked/dodged. I would be fine with them adding LoS if it wasn’t THAT poor. How many hundreds of times i got “target obscured” when there’s absolutely nothing on the field but grass and that gives me a full CD on phantasms…

So many people in this thread defending the op’ness of D/D eles just because its their main or most played class. Yes yes you will feel weaker after next patch or more like other classes and no god mode rushes into a 1v5, bursts them, heals/remove all condi, mist form when needed and even if downed can escape with mist form which full regens downed hp after each use lmao so broken and some say its okay. Be ready to cry on this forum in about 24h!
i fish a lot in real life and would be awesome if you could fish in gw2 (catch trophy stuff like in zelda/fable games). Plus it suites the game perfectly
Agreed with TC and to those saying its impossible to appeal hardcore/casual gamers just look at gw1 brah. It had tones of skills for hardcore to play with, solid pve dungeons, hard mode and,,,,,,, whatever casuals do, i dunno.
This is my fav pve (high level fractals mainly and other dungeons) build. Also extremely good for wvw but i don’t spec into shatter and more into phantasm damage (izeker hits for 4-6k damage and you have 1817k toughness)
Jewels/weapon stats i use aren’t on that site so its:
Ascended backpack with Power/Toughness/Crit Damage
Berserker + Ancient Karka Shell with berserker jewel (earings)
Amulet of the Knight
Rurick’s Royal Signet (ring)
Adelburn’s Royal Signet (ring)
Both weapons with toughness/power/precision.
Five armor pieces with toughness/power/precision and one (must be headpiece) with zerker stats.
You should have +57% crit damage, 1817 toughness, 2087 power (on GS), 40% crit chance.
I optimized this build to max possible crit damage and still with a minimum if 1.8k toughness and 40% crit chance and before some1 asks why Compounding Power on a shatter build, because after shatter i replace them with three new clones instantly and don’t shatter until i have at least two clones to replace them (this never happens tho. unless you’re in a massive zerg in wvw OR in Ascalonian Battlefields fractals where Deceptive Evasion is bugged and anet seems to not give a kitten)

Their water magic healing, boons spam and condi removal needs to be changed. The rest is fine.
So everything that makes elementalist elementalist.
Got it.
Yeah? what about the best mobility? The sustained pressure? Oh wait!!!! you want to remove all condi, have the best mobility, protection/regen spam, good sustained damage all in one? Okay, got it.
Their water magic healing, boons spam and condi removal needs to be changed. The rest is fine.
why are people crying about clones? easy to kill and deal bs damage, stop crying for something that minor.
i just hope they add new freaking amulets for spvp or let me use my pve items…
