I was wondering if anyone had any advice for killing a typical ranger (shortbow). I have a build that uses stealth and backstabs(though not a GC) and classes like warriors or guardians arent a problem since they generally stay in the same area. Rangers though are always keeping their distance from me (cant blame them) which makes it difficult for me to get in a CD and even more for a BS. Initiating the fight is one thing, thats easy to do, its finishing it. It doesnt help how sometimes they see me when im in stealth even when the debuff is gone and they are shooting me as they are keeping their distance. Oh and their pets…kitten warthogs. Should I switch to ranged gear at that point?
Hmm my backstab surv build does around that damage too, i think it needs to be tweaked for me. The problem isnt killing so much as against things like warriors it gives them enough time to get support:p
I mean, i would rather my characters to be unconcious too. Have you seen the humans? theyre too young to dieD:, and dont get me started on my Sylvari. But anyways, I guess thats why the game says youre “defeated”.
And Konig you are right, you can be knocked out with your eyes open :P creepy
Mesmers. Even as a thief I’ve been able to take down any class, and i can down a mesmer, the problem comes from finishing them off. Only when they are down do I have trouble finishing them off for stealthing or cloning etc. Any thieves out there with advice to help me out with this class? I just dont have the durability to play the guessing game.
Honestly, if you actually play as a thief, you would see that they aren’t as strong as you make us out to be. yes we burst alot, and yes we stealth (3-4 for hide in shadows or a whomping 15 seconds in shadow refuge). We dont have a lot of health and you prolly dont see them because they keep chain stealthing on you for backstabs(cloak and dagger), which is where most pvp thieves’ power comes from. To be honest, at least in my experiences with myself and other people, us thieves can be pretty cowardly sometimes, if its one or two people then we’ll fight, but as soon as things dont go our way, we stealth, shadow step, infiltrators arrow out of there. Which is probably why they seem to always get away from you.
8/10, she just looks so innocent to be wearing that armor
Here is my necromancer with and without the mask, not enough blacks in this game to be honest :p
Hey, there is probably a simple fix to this solution and it isn’t a really big concern, but I’ve noticed lately that the chat box doesn’t inform me when me friends are online anymore. Is this an option that is changed in-game or is something actually wrong here? Thanks again.
Well, I mean, one of those two sylvari under the bridge in LA had a sense of lust for a norn male:
“did you see what she was wearing?”
“i was to busy looking at, him”
Just thought I should say this, you all are saying plants have both male and female parts. That’s true, for the most part. Dioecious plants ,like willows, are plants that have members that are either male or female, not both. I would think that the Sylvari are more like this, if they could even reproduce. Which must be why several articles say they technically are genderless.
If I had to choose one weapon set I use the most, it’s the duel daggers. When it comes to ranged fighting though it tends to vary. In dungeons, I find myself using the SB for PvE, I like rolling the pistols. Now I’ve read around and a lot of my fellow thieves HATE P/P combo. I don’t blame them for choosing SB since it has AoE’s, is stronger, helps you escape, and ironically, longer range (I believe from my own experiences, if I’m wrong feel free to point that out). I love the SB, but I also enjoy PP. The auto attack is bad, that I can agree, it’s just too slow. It also seems the only good damage based attack is unload. The other utilities seemed based around you having allies nearby since dazing them or making them vulnerable seems kinda pointless if you’re by yourself with just PP. But I digress, I know you guys have issues and with issues come suggestions. I would like to hear what you think would make P/P good enough to see the ratio of SB to P/P at least 60%-40% and not its current 90%-10%
lol Poor hylek xD
Sylvari can insult yes. Perhaps often unintentionally, what with not completely understanding that certain things can be insulting.
This. I’d imagine, since they are young. Imagine this scenario. You have a Sylvari friend that overhears to people using some very bad racial slurs. The Sylvari notices you fit the description but doesn’t know that that’s a bad word. They might call you it ( not meaning any harm of course) since they don’t quite understand human ways of thinking and emotions very well. Someone can correct me on that
Thank you for the info Reckless, I simply want to change my eye color but your thread title scared me a little. I didn’t want to lose a Sylvari unique feature but now I will make sure to pay attention to the glow slider. Although, my Sylvari is a thief, so its kind of weird why I would want her to glow at night in the first place…….
8/10 only because I don’t get last names that seem to do with profession rather than simple family heritage. They seem self-entitled, not that there is anything wrong with that, but they are easier to come up with.
I guess I’ll contribute a few:
One without hood, i wear the hood so people don’t know I’m Sylvari. The other two are during the dance. I even capped where they look surprised at the end of it lol.
Her name is Shawtell.
