Woah, a lot of people seem to hate Elementalists Mist form. Seriously? O.o

Yeah because it is totally balanced and fair that Elementalists essentially are immortal when defending a Tower/Keep in WvW. And no, it is not Mist Form I loathe, it is Vapour Form, which is the downed ability.

It is the single most imbalanced downed state ability in the game. It gives you the freedom to take so many “risks” that would kill any other Profession in the game with zero risk involved.

Norn Warrior Axe "Chop" sound missing

Since my last thread about this issue was apparently deleted, I’ll create another one:

The first attack in the Axe auto-attack chain, Chop, has no sound attached to it whatsoever. No “swish” sound at all. From what I can tell from watching YouTube videos about other Warriors, this is only an issue for Norn males. Feel free to correct me in that if it does exist for some other race/gender combo.

Corrupted Lodestones only drop from Icebrood.

From Risen you get those useless “Pile of Blah Blah” which is their “Lodestone”, so to speak.

Was probably the ice elementals at the Grenth event then.

I’m still trying to remember where my corrupted cores came from, because I never got cores in Orr, only Lodestones, so I’m thinking the answer is HotW…. But I have about 5x more glacial cores than corrupted…. could just be a low drop rate compared to the other.

The mobs in there still drop Corrupted Lodestones. The chests however only reward Glacial Lodestones or Cores for some unfathomable reason…

Real annoying.

Ah…. sounds like incentive to run HotW and clear full instead of skipping mobs and going for chests.

No, it isn’t. The Icebrood in there (which are few and far between) have no higher chance to drop Corrupted Lodestones than those in Frostgorge outside the dungeon. It is only because I’ve run HotW like a madman I’ve gotten a few Corrupted Lodestones/Cores to drop (mainly from the two Icebrood Kodan before Ginva in path 1).

The elite skill "Rampage"

Don’t forget that the basic auto-attack in Lich Form is totally awesome in terms of raw unadulterated base damage.

Higher DPS? Axe/mace or GS?

Get Sharpened Axes in Discipline and you can pretty much spam Eviscerate whenever it is up and still stay at full Adrenaline most of the time. You can go one step further and get Adrenal Reserves which makes your Burst abilities only drain 2/3s of your Adrenaline for easier recovery.

There’s your burst damage right there.

Burst damage should occur during a short period, it’s not a matter of “spamming” Eviscerate every 10 secs but a matter of doing so your mean damage for the next few secs is better. Using 100B+WW+Eviscerate as a final blow is a burst.

What’s more is that using Eviscerate rather lower your DPS for the next few secs because of the Berserker’s Power and Heightened Focus. This plus the backswing of the attack is not appealing compared to just auto-attack. But that’s a comon downside that comes with burst dmg.

Having “burst” damages does not only mean you can see 10k+ numbers on your screen.

Actually it does.

A single hit of 13.000 to 15.000 damage is the very definition of “burst” in MMORPG terms. As for Berserker’s Power: with Sharpened Axes and and a decent crit rate, you’ll be back to full in no time. Especially with Adrenal Reserves, and if hitting two or three mobs at once.

I really wish Warriors worked like that by default. By spending 30 points in Discipline as well as using an Axe in my mainhand I feel that I’m finally playing Warrior the way the class was supposed to play when they came up with the concept. Without these Adrenaline-based Traits, you’re almost always better off with just hoarding your Adrenaline.

Only reason I switched from Norn to Human was because the animation of sword attacks from Norn compared to Human was Horrendous. If your not gonna use Sword, then I would Say Norn/Char

I agree. It looks so stupid.

Fortunately, Sword isn’t all that great on Warriors. Its good for Savage Leaping to your target and then switching to another weapon, but that’s really it.

It’s funny how the necro transformation elite is so viable, but no one ever uses the warrior, ele or engi transformation elites. Guardian transformations are 50/50. None of their elites are OMG yes! either.

Either the necro one is a ton better, or the necro just has poor other elite options.

It is the latter. I don’t find Plague nor Flesh Golem really attractive. They are no Signet of Rage or Warbanner that’s for sure.

Is there any reason why YOU are not using it? and what do you think should be done to make this elite skill better?

Same problem I have with most Transform abilities.

1) The skills it grants suck.
2) It removes your Healing ability.

It should just make you grow bigger and grant you Stability, but retain your ordinary skills.

Yes.

Yes it would.

Not in the way he means it (I think).
You deal damage to more targets at once, but not more damage on each individual target.

That doesn’t change the fact that the damage potential of AoE abilities would go through the roof.

What they should’ve done was

1) When talking to Grast, a player gets a shield generator bundle that can be used to protect the party from the rocks.
2) When talking to Hodgins, a player gets a scepter capable of generating the fire fields to toast Gravelings.

The “stupid” NPCs should not be allowed to play such an important “do-or-die” part, plain and simple.

The worst part is the imbalance between them. Compare Warrior down state, which is useless against more than one opponent, to Elementalist down state with the instan Vapour Form which lets you suicide without any risk as long as there is either a zerg of friendly players or a keep to scamper back into.

If they removed down states in WvW, a lot of the imbalance concerning Elementalists would go away because they can no longer take risks that would guarantee a death for any other Profession.

One could also claim that removing stealth would fix thieves,
or stopping melee professions from dealing AoE damage would fix them.

Then again, each of those suggestions is rather ridiculous, don’t you think?

Yes.

Yes they are.

I fail to see your point affects Vapor Form being the most overpowered downed ability in the game right now, though.

removing the downed system would further buff thieves and other BS classes.

there i said it. i think the solution is to fix the downed states of some characters before removing it completely.

It would be a huge nerf on Elementalists, so I’m all for it regardless.

The Sylvari’s culture is a bit more advanced than that of plants, isn’t it? They put a lot of importance in being “children of the Pale Tree” in their culture.

The pollination argument is also flawed as Sylvari do have sex, which essentially is sex between siblings. Even if said sexual acts are for pleasure and not procreation, they still count. From a cultural/social perspective, they all do practice incest.

Too late. They already nerfed Cursed Shore with the addition of Champs. Less loot now from events.

Doesn’t matter. You still earn more Lodestones per hour by farming those events.

My best advice to anyone who wants to farm a lodestone directly is to run the dungeon that drops it. Then, promote your cores. Or run fractals till your eyes bleed. That being said, at the moment, I only have 30-40 molten cores from all the times I’ve run CoF…. and running anything else nearly as often as you can run CoF is also eye bleed inducing.

Except there is no dungeon that drops Corrupted. Despite containing Icebrood/Svanir, HotW gives Glacial… which is stupid.

This will not be fixed and should not be fixed. By keeping the drop rate of these items exactly where they are, it maintains the value of an item that a significant portion of the player base will never hope to acquire enough of to use for anything.

Let Charged Lodestones be 3g+ forever…. random players will get a moment of insane joy when they find one, and promptly sell it to those of us who intend to do something with these precious jewels.
