if they will reposition the trait ability of the “MUG” and put it in acrobatics grand master trait line,

i think thieves will think otherwise on how to build their skill,

yup i agree in hotjoin spvp, thieves are always lurking in massive proportions,

maybe they are fedup of being instagibbed by a thief,

can i suggest an ingame agricultural area so that we can plant our mats for cooking,

like farmville in FBgames

and for this one, i can think of events like protect your field from infestation, from bandits, and many more

i agree with this one, i always tend to jump when an incoming treamor animation occurs, maybe its an instinctual response from me having playing console games

make jumping an actual evasive skill from ground attacks

in pvp its bad..
because but would it defeat the knocking purpose of the hammer build players.

in PVE its good because i hate enemies knocking me off…

as far as my 2 main characters are concerned (thief and ranger) roll for initiative can get away from being knocked down and the same goes for lightning reflex skill of the ranger

I really have a bad feeling about sword#1

its not about auto-attacking,

what i am pointing out is that, Anet’s Work-around in fixing problems is to change the tooltip description instead of fixing what the skill will actually do.

as far as design and laziness is present…

like what happened to CoF medium Coat and shoulder,

im having a bad feeling that they will just change the tool-tip description of sword #1

thanks for all the output

im still 73

but im theory crafting my stats,

it seems that to be able to reach 100 crit damage, we have less crit chances as far as i can comprehend on your given base stat

i tried to use the computations given, and i dont know if it is a good combination
e.g. thebase stat that i came up with, 80 crit damage, 50 crit chance

can you buff ricochet.. please

Posted by: Oldgrimm.8521

Oldgrimm.8521

i think 30-50% on crit is justifiable, since shortbows attack and utility is far superior than pistols utility at the moment

cluster bomb is deadlier than unload

Oldgrimm.8521

i think the most common death by other classes is MISINFORMED stat Distribution on their characters,

in all seriousness, stack up on toughness and vitality, i know you can produce more than that,

you have too much attack going on, remember guardians have block + retaliation + burn, thats your main source of power

Oldgrimm.8521

but guys in your stats as of now, what is your current crit damage %?

can you buff ricochet.. please

in Thief

Posted by: Oldgrimm.8521

Oldgrimm.8521

make it at least 30-50% chance to bounce on critical hit

on its current state, Dancing daggers is far superior in damage and utility,

so if pistols would have this revamped trait, pistol build will shine on its own

(or better yet make it perma bounce: this one is selfish mode hehe)

Some questions about the trait bark skin

in Ranger

Posted by: Oldgrimm.8521

Oldgrimm.8521

i dont know if it is working, but i use it always, and for some reason when we are running AC, specifically at Lt. Kholer i rarely die in his spinning attack even if i dont dodge

but it is combined with Bark skin + natures protection

Piercing Rounds, anybody?

in Thief

Posted by: Oldgrimm.8521

Oldgrimm.8521

warrior rifle bleeds on auto

ranger short bow bleeds on flanking

engineer pistol bleeds on auto

i think the logical thing thats why we dont have piercing pistol trait is just because we have sneak attack.

thanks for the info

just in case that signet of the hunt will be fixed

i think that if rapid fire will change into a single hit attack 150% increase will be more beneficial

can they change rapid fire into a single attack, and not a channeling attack,

so we can use traited signet of the hunt better.

stealth detection.....

in Suggestions

Posted by: Oldgrimm.8521

Oldgrimm.8521

Right now I think there is a way to force stealthed players out of stealth, but it requires AoE boon removal abilities. Only mesmers and necromancers have those from what I know.

as i have read the necro thread, their AoE does not detect stealth, and they were asking if they can detect stealth as well, maybe an addition to their skill might be a good idea,

an engineer will be ok also,

the point is just give one profession the ability to detect stealth

Oldgrimm.8521

make at least one out of the 6 remaining job to be able to detect stealth…
(excluding the thief/mesmer of course)

i can vouch for elementalist to have it.

i will call it the seeing mind, use of arcane power to detect stealth,

duration 3 secs,

cooldown 45 seconds..

range 900

in this proposition only elementalist can see the hidden thief when the skill is active.

  • of course the thiefs here will bash this suggestion,

To Much Condition Damage?

in Thief

Posted by: Oldgrimm.8521

Oldgrimm.8521

as a necromancers say, every 100 condition = 5 damage per tick.. 1400 is around 115. i tried to use superior rune of corruption, and it gives me a total of 1650 condition damae = 130+ bleed per tick,

going over is not a waste,

and if you will browse necro threads, they can reach 2100+ condition damage because of their trait line

have you ever tried giving the assassin hood to your engineer or ranger, thats the same process,

if you look at different screen shots of different ranger threads, they are wearing assassins hood

this is just to site how transmutation works.

just in case, may i ask you, you dont want to create another toon and do quest of another order? you just need to make it until level 40+ quest to access their armory, its not that tedious
