Nretep.2564:

Adding an infusion wouldn’t help. Infusing would.

@OP
If you have a “Prototype Fractal Capacitor” it means you still have the exotic one. Its stats are below upgraded green backs.
Be sure to tell us its correct name. Depending on it you may be able to save it or not.

It is ascended, so 2nd stage.

I have the zerker Prototype Fractal Capacitor on a char that won’t use it any longer.

Is there any way to transmute it to a different char to retain the STATS, as opposed to the skin?

Cufufalating.8479:

Surely the obvious solution to the SB issue is:

>Revert the SB range nerf
>Increase LB to 1500 always
>Replace the LB range trait with lbow dmg increase
>???
>Profit

Fixed it for you

Gorath.5076:

Looking at the June 25th patchnotes one thing seems to stand out:
Interrupt.
Did anybody look into this post patch and sees a way to combine interrupts and its side effects with some of the common Shatter and Phantasm builds in sPvP and WvW?

How hard does Halting Strike hit now?

With full ascended 2.5-4k on WvW players b4 vuln, might, etc.

From a newly stickied Guardian guide: “Condition duration, like boon duration, caps at 100% even if you go beyond.”

Is that true?

Rising Dusk.2408:

Yes, it is true.

Strange, wiki doesn’t mention it…

Navi.7142:

I had a similar thought some days ago and described it here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Mesmer-is-broken-Massive-bug/first#post2266221

But to also put it here:

From the (general) patch notes from 28th of January:
“Fixed a bug that could cause rectangular skills to fail to hit the correct targets.”
Could that anyhow be the reason why berserker’s mechanic changed and hits now very inconsistently? Could the fix have affected him negatively by accident?

Didn’t hear about that one, very interesting Navi.

Thanks for the feedback Speedfire.

I agree the hit box may not be so optimized, but it happened after a patch. So either it is a bug or the hit box change was left out of the patch notes.

And you are right, that other thread has gone on a bit too long

Hello one last time fellow Mesmers! I haven’t played my Mesmer much this past week because I just recently crafted The Predator on my Warrior and have been enjoying it quite a bit Every night though I (usually) check the forums or log on to him to see if the iZerker bug was fixed with the most recent patch/build.

So, I viewed the main thread about the bug here in the Mesmer section. I noted 2 things: 1. it is still bugged, 2. certain players (albeit few, and not sure if they actually MAIN a Mesmer/were around before February) are claiming it is a warranted stealth nerf lol or that there is no bug at all (Jon Peters included here). Therefore I decided to test the latter, again… Possibly we are all simply insane? Maybe it was in fact the floater bug that we were seeing? (Remember there is actually a rare floater bug IN ADDITION to the main inconsistency bug) Could it be that the night before Feb 26 we ALL changed our builds to something else, forgot about it, and then kept that non-optimal damage in our heads ever since, even after switching back to our correct builds?

Actually, no…we are indeed telling the truth. I began testing by writing down # of hits per whirl but tbh I’m so disgusted by the bug and so sleepy atm lol that I thought I should stop halfway through and just record a quick video:

iZerker bug

Number of hits on that golem with zerk amu, 6/6 divinity, 10/30/0/25/5:

2 —- 1 crit 1 base (excuse my autoattack)
3 —- 2 crits 1 base
4x miss
2 —- 0 crits 2 base
4x miss
3 —- 2 crits 1 base
4x miss
mind wrack out of anger lol

I consider that bugged.

edit: to avoid further PMs, I have Muscular Dystrophy and all I can use is a mouse. that’s why I use that On-Screen Keyboard :P

“Glantra” would have sounded better :P

Most definitely signed!

Hello traders! I have ~350g that I would like to use to make short-term (one month) investments or to start flipping more expensive items because I feel like Tx mats do not yield the best results when you have as much gold as me because there are items with better margins.

My question is (private messages are ok with me) what items/strategies are best? I’m not trying to capitalize off of someone else’s market here I just want to make ~200g (from the aforementioned 350g) in the next few weeks to finish off The Predator. Is that possible? Willing to tip for legitimate guidance

Thank you all!

I’m currently working towards The Predator b/c I love Killshot….don’t change rifle burst please!

Sorry all for the scare! Is there a way to give exotic armor stats to a different character?

Penguin.5197:

So we can’t make it account bound with whites anymore?

Correct

You can no longer transmute items from one character to another; it remains soulbound upon transmutation as far as I can tell.

Can people please confirm this?

Thelyssa.7041:

Hello everyone, I just rerolled from Ranger, and my old build (Which I found fairly fun) was a Bleed shortbow build. Is there a good ranged, bleed build for Elementalist right now?

Thanks in advance.

May I direct you to my newest post? https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Condition-dmg-stacking/first#post2087273

Video included

Hello all, I was thinking today what will happen when Arenanet fixes their condition stacking technical limitation (25 bleed limit & every person has their own icon, though the latter seems improbable)? What build will do the most SINGLE TARGET CONDITION DAMAGE over time? I made 2 kinda gimmicky builds focusing purely on bleeds for the ele & warrior.

Basically specced 30 into the condi dmg and duration trees taking appropriate traits, rabid amulet, 2x Afflicted 2x Krait 2x Centaur. Ele got 1x Sigil of Earth 1x Sigil of Agony whereas warrior received 2x Agony because the 2nd one gave all bleed sources an additional second/tick.

Demonstrations use the spvp training chieftain:

Warrior: http://youtu.be/7kUdiQxqM1o messed up a little

Elementalist: http://youtu.be/LEkLAu8lS08 definitely more viable than warrior

What build is most hindered by the stacking limitation? What will do the most damage after the fix?

Agreed! When trolling an entire zerg 30+ Blurred Frenzy + 3 clone Distortion shatter + Mimic + Take Root + Blurred Frenzy again = lulz

GuildWarsPlayer.5608:

Staff is simply amazing for Mesmers in my opinion. I’m running a condition damage type build so I’m laying mobs down with the staff. Staff is the only way to go in pve as far as a ranged defensive weapon goes.

Ever done high level FOTM?

I’ve gotten to 45 currently with this phantasm build Ofek’s Phantasms

Perma Vigor from crits & perma regen from phantasms. Placing iWarden strategically will take time to learn. Inspiration I & XIII should never change nor shall Illusion of Life & Time Warp. Things will change depending on stealth needs etc. but generally:

Aquatic Ruins Fractal – Arcane Thievery & SoI
Cliffside Fractal – Feedback, Portal, IoL
Snowblind Fractal – Feedback, Portal for initial bonfire (TW still works on it btw) & right before the ice ele teleports you, IoL
Swampland Fractal – Feedback, Portal, IoL
Underground Facility Fractal (Dredge Fractal) and Urban Battlegrounds Fractal (Ascalon Fractal) – Feedback, Null Field, IoL (Blink when running oil ofc)
Volcanic Fractal (Grawl Fractal) – Feedback, IoL, your choice
Uncategorized Fractal (Harpies Fractal) – Feedback, MoD, IoL
Solid Ocean Fractal (Jade Maw) – Blink, Portal, IoL

I also carry every weapon just in case. Mostly switch Sword to Scepter for harpies & volcanic.

Good luck

Any1 here have a complete (6/6) set of cavalier armor from FOTM yet? Or close?

how do you play like that?

As a poster mentioned, my video does in fact show the floater bug Mr. Peters touched on too I just realized at 1:16. Thus, there is a hitting bug AND a floater bug, with the former being the much more critical one obviously.

I will redo my previous test tonight. If this has become a floater problem, I will know, and if this is truly a hitting problem as I suspect, I will know that as well.

Hey there Pyro! I just tested it in sPvP with guildmates (individually) as they can see how many times it hits and how hard in their combat tab. IT IS A HITTING PROBLEM. I will record it myself too and post the video after class.

Good to know. I’ll probably run a test myself just for the sake of redundancy, and I hope that Jon Peters is still hovering around this thread somewhere to see this information.

Damaging conditions tick every 1s. If one is using -condi runes or food and a 1s condi is applied, does it not tick?

Does the pvp monthly still yield laurels in addition to the pve monthly? Or has it been fixed?

OutspokenAardvark.9781:

Could we please get an official response if this is an intended nerf or an overlooked mistake?

It is neither. It just takes time to build these items and there is a huge amount of stuff on our list of things to do. We aren’t done adding stat combos. We will continue to add them as we have time to do so. With this batch, we wanted to even out the spread of primary stats and we already had a lot of stats with Power or Condition Damage as primary (more than any other, in fact), but I’ll be sure to get Valkyrie and Carrion into the next batch.

Thank you Linsey! Can you please give a rough estimate as to when we will see actual NEW stat combination i.e. +HP-prec/tough, +Pow-CD/tough, etc.?
