So many disillusioned people who think PUGs are capable of listening to directions or that these PUGs have alts with the optimal equipment and party makeup.
Please provide me with 1 reason why end game content should be easy for people who can’t follow directions and take bad builds, bad utilities, and bad party makeups. Then prove to me that this fight is at all hard, because it’s not.
And to get it out of the way: I have 4 legendaries, 7 level 80s all decked in the best equipment, and have been playing for twice the amount of time you have. It’s easy to do this in my guild runs. It’s not even remotely feasible to do it with a bunch of PUGs.
So much arrogance condensed with a sprinkle of bullkitten. You have 1600 achiev points and got your first lvl 80 a month ago yet you pretend to have 4 legendaries, 7 80s AND solid experience in dungeons ?
You either have exactly 0 life and sleep or just spent an inane amount of real money into virtual goods. Either way you can’t possibly pretend to have solid dungeon experience at this point in time.
I wouldn’t go and talk about other people credentials if I were you.
Well he also says he’s clocked twice my in game time, that would put him at over 5000 hours since launch. There’s only 8760 hours in an entire year and we’re… 10.5 months in?
The point isn’t to find a ranger that can out dps a warrior, it’s to find a ranger that can create more dps within the party as a whole than taking ANOTHER warrior. Unique non-stacking party buff saturation. Doesn’t matter what 1 guy does by himself or we would all be running empower not empower allies.
Necros can do some nice things, it’s always funny to sit in condition conversion on the grawl fractal boss, the hot ground suddenly procs aegis :P but ya, there’s better fits for min/max groups.
Also wonder, as a second tactics trait, 20% damage under 50% health? or +150 attack to allies? Applies to both builds
Under 50% ur risking getting focused for another downed body since you’re at melee and 150 power to 5 people in total is probably doing more than 20% part of the time just from you. Another thing I noticed the other day but haven’t had a chance to test is the description for empower allies says the buff procs every 3 seconds but lasts for 9 seconds, I’m not sure but it MIGHT spread to a lot more than 4 other people… Main drawback is it can’t stack but in wvw you probably don’t have 20% of your people as warriors running that trait.
What’s with the ME obsession in this thread? They’re a good group of players, but I’ve never seen them singled out like this before.
It’s interesting how our best four or five guilds fill out a spectrum between extreme bowling ball and extreme kite. We all converse and borrow builds and ideas from each other, but our comps will always be different and we’ll always play differently.
Should really start randomly swapping tags, confuse the hell out of everyone.
(via healing shouts / shield stance) and being able to fall back to a safe point using gs #3 / #5.
Have you played other classes? Healing shouts aren’t exactly something to brag about. What’s saving you is blocks during which you aren’t outputting dps, then burning your mobility skills running out of the zerg v zerg.
Run each path once, you will get 60 tokens per run. If 180 per day isn’t fast enough for you then you can repeat for 20 per run as long as enough time passes between each run of the same path. If you cycle through all 3 you will continue to get 20 per run and experience no DR. Daily reset is daily reset, you literally have a timer for that in game.
You don’t HAVE TO melee, you just have to attack them from somewhere that they can manage to aim. Same mechanic that tries to keep you from shooting melee bosses from a ledge.
The game was designed so that everyone would be useful in a party, so your elitist has no “right” to discriminate like that.
The game was designed so that 5 would be limit in an instance, so your terribad build in magic find gear running warrior mace/shield & hammer has no “right” to claim a spot in another person’s PvE party like that.
how could they tell that the thread wasn’t being maintained… none of the bugs have really been fixed aside from a few tooltip corrections.
Tooltips are fixed? Go swap stronger bowstrings on/off, the tooltips are even more bugged than the actual skills. I still get text on empower allies that has the old value.
Can we have it where “This item can only proc 3-5 times a second?” It would make the food viable without making AOE spam-able attacks ridiculous.
It would be really fun without completely breaking it like it was before.
In the current game, for runes and such the internal cool-downs just make skills like this worthless, its better just to go things like -conditon duration or other things, this stuff was good because it added a lot of “Hey I can melee and live a bit.” where now everyone just stands at ranged.
I believe the proc-rates melee to ranged should also be changed, melee attacks should have 3x the proc rates as ranged.
3 times a second is just a significantly more resource intensive version of dropping the cooldown to 0.33s
but its not its own minion like the dragon champions are – hes just a big troll (heh heh) seriously, by champion i mean one with its own skin, not an enlarged one
Person 1 “Problem with pets is they steal boons”
Person 2 “No, pets don’t take boons over players, players prioritized over pets and have been for a while”
Person 3 “That’s why you always take fortifying bond in dungeons”
Person 4 “The conversation was about whether or not pets would interfere with boons hitting party members”
Person 3 “Players in range take priority over pets, this was fixed long time ago”
But will any1 number crunch or anything to figure out if the 2nd ranger is worth taking with the reduction? 2nd spirit is only another 3.5% multiplier on average.
Kinda like how a 2nd warrior can’t also give you 150 power and 1 warrior could still run fgj/2banners if there isn’t a need for a break stun/endure pain/etc.
Now could we get somebody that isn’t Brazil to test it
Would you like me to go record it? Without an amulet and armor and with a steady shortbow, I wakittenting for 36 damage each time. With one Frost Spirit active, I would hit for 36 and 40 damage, and with both Frost Spirits active I would hit for 36, 40, and 44. With only the 70% Frost Spirit active, most of my attacks would hit for 40. With both spirits active, I would mostly hit for 40, hit 44 fairly frequently, and barely hit 36. There is no internal cooldown on the Spirits damage bonus, and they do in fact stack if one spirit is traited and one is not.
I’ll just go record it anyways.
Some people might want a couple screenshots, but I was just kidding about it :P
Any1 know if the ranger board is aware of this?
Oh and next patch: warrior banners traited for range stack with nontraited, gotta keep it all even
There actually was a warrior bug thread, Anet decided that since the OP wasn’t going through and maintaining a current list for them in the first post it wasn’t worth their effort to read it.
We are currently in the process of cleaning up old sticky posts. We have noticed that this bug list is no longer being maintained by the original poster, so we are going to let it drop off. If somebody would like to take up the mantle of maintaining a current bug list, you are welcome to do so. If such a thread is created, please use the report button to alert the moderation team of your request for sticky.
I’ve never seen a bug thread that had to be maintained as an up to date list by an unpaid single member of the community with no recognition in order to get viewed by the admins, but the staff run how they run… Not really sure how a chronological list generated by a little bit of help from everyone isn’t superior, dates can even be checked against patches to see when they introduced a bug and pinpoint the cause.
So not having the time to level 5 different characters (guardian, mesmer, necro, elementalist, thief) is a reason good enough to kick someone?
XD
Well technically you can just pick one and lvl it. An ele or a war or a guard or whatever. Not hard with crafting, not to mention all the free booster hand outs. Sitting on the same poor class and expecting other people to deal with it because you cant be bothered to make another one isn’t the answer. The real issue, and the one you really should be getting mad at is Arena Net for making the classes the way they are. It really isn’t fair that some classes provide more for a group than others. But that’s what happens when they are too lazy to split pve and pvp skills and sit in denial. Kicking someone for thier class I find isn’t a really valid reason, but at the same time, I have seen enough shortbow auto attack bear pet rangers to understand why.
And for these precise reasons, my first char is a Warrior builded as a boulder…
I would love to go mad with crafting, but atm I need a little more gold to buy ore: sadly, the first char is always so poor
And this is the other reason why I farm dungeons…
Just always have a pickaxe when you’re roaming, the materials in your level of zone will match the requirements to craft your level of gear. When my first character hit 80 i had the mats to craft his armor and jewellery just from my own collecting, and at the time those mats would look way more expensive :P
We did it without armor boosts at all, so I think lvl 55 with lvl 55 armor would be perfectly fine, with maybe a couple deaths before the boss dies.
Not gonna run the numbers, but i’m even betting that lvl 55’s in appropriate gear would out stat your 80’s without armor… people who keep saying ‘must be lvl 80’ clearly don’t notice what happens to their stats when they bring an 80 into a non-80 area.
Just an idea, why don’t all the people here asking for fixes and bans add each others and run it properly? I think that would be way better than just keep whining on the forum cus others are exploiting and don’t wanna play with you.
You really think that once they fix it people will run P2 the legit way?
You really think the game economy doesn’t get borked by borked content?
Edit: … quoting you generates like 100 blank lines then the [/quote] finally appears…
No, you necro’ed the thread. This isn’t about the same bug and it was posted by a dev so it doesn’t really require you say anything unless a dev or patch notes say something about an attempt at patching it and you want to update them on it.
I would say significantly smaller than the spvp locker, only special event skins or unlocks. Don’t want to go exploding the market and there’s really no reason to unlock infinite access to regular skins.
“Let people play how they want to play” … definitely one of the more interesting attempts to justify exploiting I’ve heard. Kudos.
Anyway I mentioned in my second post on the the thread that it takes two to tango. The people who happily advertise to exploit this obviously broken path aren’t the only ones at fault. How this hasn’t been fixed yet is mind-boggling.
With that being said, can we expect a fix to this any time soon?
I don’t run CoF P2, but why would it bother you if other groups jump gates? As long as you don’t have to group with them I don’t see the point in being angsty about it.
When the risk/time/rewards of other players are out of whack with the norm it inflates the economy with easy gold. CoF also doesn’t actually balance itself between gold and high value goods to offset the gold generation. All it does is inject more liquid cash into the market which raises the cost of… everything. Players who then do not take advantage of an exploit to accomplish the same ends lag in terms of generating wealth on their account. This means they will take longer to get their legendary than if other people weren’t exploiting this.
Since it isn’t based in skill/effort/risk, it’s not a legitimate method of accomplishing higher rewards per unit time invested.
Both having a kiting aspect to help you build distance between you and the fight. LBow immobilize is penetrating by default but rifle is normally just single target (not counting rifle butt because defiant stacks). LBow can pop a blind pretty quick to save ur butt. Both can burst with their 3 skill to provide some dps while you’re moving towards/away from the fight. If you don’t need your adrenaline, the LBow can provide you with a long fire field for might stacking.
You didn’t disprove a single one of those. You simply dripped heavy Snark over them and dismissed them instead. Then again that’s all these Threads ever turn into anyway so I guess I shouldn’t be the least bit surprised.
Fortunately that’s the complete OPPOSITE of the attitude found in-game in friendly pugs who amass for these things simply because they give them simple & undeniable visual win conditions on HOW they’re contributing (Vs. a bunch of lifeless numbers that not even the experts here seem to agree on either).
And dps groups will continue to outperform you in time as well as in # of wipes. Go ahead and grab a turret engi, or a mace/shield & hammer warrior, or a 100% water attune heal “spam” ele (read: I do nothing during cooldowns).
DPS beats bosses and they’re all but immune to CC. The only time you want heavy CC support is against trash but then 95% of the time ANet throws too many enemies at you for you to make a considerable dent because of AoE caps.
I’m confused. When I go up to the Mission starting flags (when missions aren’t active) it says “A guild officer must activate this mission” – does that not actually extend to the literal activation of it O_o? If not then they definitely need to change it, I can see it being very annoying if some random new guild member just activates it when you’re still waiting on half the guild to show up or something.
A guild officer must press the button in the guild menu to randomly generate your guild puzzle assignment (only they can use the ‘consumable’ you ‘built’ in your queue). Any member may then touch that flag, killing your pre-puzzle timer and starting the real one.
Some racials definitely have room to be buffed without becoming op atm.
Racials can be used by any class so their capacity for synergy with every single build in the game has to be considered before making them stronger.
… ok
i think youre missing the point.
some racials are very weak and do not have any synergy with any class whatsoever at all due to them being much much better options available for every other class.
The point is they will never get to a point where you would REALLY want them because there are so many other classes that they have to not be OP for. It just won’t happen.
Crystal Behemoths (P1 Arah) — The faster you can deal damage, the less you have to endure.
COE Husk — This event is actually simplest to complete without everybody running the golems, as a result people with sufficient range can sit at the entrance and hit the boss when it isn’t reflecting (hitting this boss with your own weapons is also required to tag for loot credit)
Jotun Stargazer — Pure team-coordination check. One that was made so simple you can solo it.
CM Seraph (Path3) If by “Keg party after that” you’re referring to the exploit… do i need to go further?
CM Hudda Hudda hallway if this is what you call a real mechanic… wow… stand still and press button when rocket is flying at you
CM path1 “Frost” Ice-blower boss no, this is still a simple boss that you just dps into the ground
Not a part of this conversation and open world pve in this game is entirely about dps, “coordination” is just hit A not B.
Mai — is not permanent content, does not exist in the game anymore
Lyssa Preist — World events are zerg to win, this one can even be rez rushed
Wraith champions — Evading an aoe life drain is a coordination issue not a CC one. Go out of range, wait, come in range, dps, repeat.
