Guild Wars 2

Imo mortars need an increased range to say 2000-2500 meters to be effective. I see no reason to use it when I can throw grenades further (1500m vs 1400m) and be mobile in the process.

Personally though I think anet needs to scrap the mortars and give us a ballsita/catapault elite or an elite that compares to the stationary wpns used in the 3 dragon fights. It completely falls in line with what are class is and meant to be and we’d only be able to use it for a min or so thus imo it wouldn’t be game breaking. Limit it to outside use so as not be used in dungeons. Hell give it a 5 min cd and I’d be fine with it. throw in some uniqueness and make a different version for every race since an asura engineer would come up with something much different then a charr engineer for example.

Ummm here’s what I have noticed in regard to this. I use a p/p engineer and a sb and axe/warhorn ranger and then the harpoon gun for both.

1. I use superior rune of perception (precision) and force (5% damage) on p/p and bloodlust (power) and umm the 3 stacks of might when swapped (geomancy? I forget) to on axe/warhorn.

2. All seems fine on the ranger and works as intended with no issues.

3. The engineer….well kitten now we have issues both good and bad.

A. I submitted a bug report about this the other day but when I die/go into a downed state I either don’t get my stacks of precision f/ kills anymore or it takes a while after I start killing before they start registering again. It seems to have gotten better though. Most times I was forced to relog to fix this. What I have found is that once I hit a downed/killed state that if I wait a bit BEFORE I kill anything again all is fine. If I IMMEDIATELY start killing again then I don’t get my stacks of precision at all (relog) or for quite a while.

B. I have a harpoon gun on my engineer with sigil of speed on it (10s of quickness after killing an enemy). Here’s the thing though….it procs EVERYTIME EVEN THOUGH I’M USING GRENADES 24/7 IN THE WATER!!!! So I get the 10s of quickness f/ harpoon gun after killing an enemy in the water even though I’m using grenades? Umm huh? Somehow something is WRONG because even though I am accomplishing what you HOPE to implement in the future I cannot do this on land with any of my kits (I had speed sigils before on my pistols and never noticed this while using a kit).

A quick question to the developers. I noticed a website that CLAIMED that if you dual wielded a wpn like p/p for ex; and you had say a sigil that gave stacks of precision/power/etc. but only had 1 equipeed and a different sigil in the other wpn say +5% damage for example you only get HALF the benefit!! So in that example I’d get 25 stacks of +5 precision instead of +10 precision in my case. What’s the verdict? Also if dual wielding and using 2 sigils of force would we get that 2x so 10% increased damage or only 5%? I never found a definitive answer f/ Anet on these topics; only speculation f/ us peons.

1. We both have mics and wouldn’t have an issue using them.

2. We are both hard core gamers and understand how guilds work and all of the bs that goes on behind the scenes to make them operate (I have been a guild leader in EVERY MMO I have ever played in the last 15 years and she loves doing things like spreadsheets and websites for guilds).

3. I want to do dungeons soley for the achievement/experience (I already have complete 80 exotic gear that I made/bought via tp and I could care less about different skins for gear). But I wish to do them with people on voip and not pugs hence why we haven’t done a single dungeon yet.

4. WvW we like doing at times but we would prefer obviously doing it via voip with good direction/planning.

5. Any guilds with karoke night cuz she’s got a great voice and loves to sing =p?

6. We play the game daily for hours upon end but we have kids so dinner/bedtime is sometimes an issue for us to be active and we are in the eastern time zone. Many times we end up playing till 3-5 am est.
