Guild Wars 2

Sirlath.1672:

Hey, I’m gonna be gone for 3 weeks but I wanted to try this out as well :P

This one was a harder call, the weapon’s design is quite unique, and I didn’t wanted to just apply flamy skins. Instead, I’ve came up with a concept of two bit different combat-mage who could use this engineered dagger.
First one is more friendly and engineer-like, second is more evil.
No clue how it will look on sylvari, but I believe you can adjust this for your liking.

Prefered dyes are of dagger’s colors.

Without Piercing Arrows, my damage would be single target and would get kinda zero loot out of a zergfight…

Without Eagle Eye, I wouldn’t be able to outurange my opponents that little bit.

Without Read of the Wind, my arrows do miss a lot.

Without Steady Focus, I would be just even less.

Without Quick Draw, my LB skills would just reload so dam’ slow I wouldn’t be able to use it’s skills again before I die (and would die more often ofc)

etc…
This is why LB has to be buffed and it’s traits recreated.

Load of Gems, Load of Luck, a houndred Laurel, 1000 AP, 25 Transmutation Charge, introducing weapon dyes with free uses, or random precursor would be nice (let’s see those prices fall, jeez!).

But if they really want me happy, improve game workd or graphics, or just fix rangers =)

Whot is an influential GW2 Ranger player?
The dude who posts videos about what he do, laughing when he die or just cut it off,
the dude who posts unuseable builds that only work on really unskilled enemies and even showing that off, but not really even playing anymore,

or some of us who still here and standing for our justice, fighting through our weakness and still being able to lead WWW well, and lastly, feedbacking the Devs even if it seems hopeless?

At part of mesmers, they do serious ranged spike damage.
Sunday morning in EOTM: Chased a mesmer who had ~75% HP and wanted to hide from the zergfight they lost, but when he realised he got trapped beside rocks and falling, he turned around and tried to brake out. It was like 12k HP loss in 2 sec for me.
If I weren’t at full health, it would be a one hit kill from range.
I’m lucky he didn’t spawned that GS spinner clone that usually makes ~8k dmg meanwhile I’m dodging it!!

12k Hp Loss… And I’m not a glasscannon…
When will we make that dmg with our “Rapid” Fire?
After these moments; Mesmer is the superior ranged DMG.

Do they sacrifice anything? Or anyone else?
Even Stealth has no rules apart from braking out of it on will.

I will try, Arikyali
Looks like I will need an additional character slot to generate a char for requests that I can’t really show (Missing race/gender). Just asking; Could you guys throw some Gem in and get it for me, so I can design on any?

Until my next post, this is how I’ve used my Wizard’kitten for a storage char;

You need a makeover kit, not an armor matchup.

You want an exosuit or what? I just don’t get it. :/

Whatever comes, noootttt an outfit. Can’t mix that…
What I would like right now is more hoods, skull masks, more quiver, capecapecapecape, and hmm… Stuff that dyes weapons.

Bring it on!

@ Iris Ng.9845: Your ref. link is broken. Please be specific about race, gender & affordability / dislikes.

First pic: Abyss/Black, Gold, Wrath/Brick, Fog Dye
Second pic: Black/Iron?, Wrath/brick, Gold/Brass/Root, Taupe
I guess. Dyes differ mutch on different armor sets.

Uh, misread. I don’t know, most of human female light skirts make butts chubby, illusionist doesn’t, so used that. Maybe the set hides it well, or it is just your body type?
Anyway, cound not help you with cultural set, nor with your glove-boots finding – due to lack of sylvari char.

The “Heavy/Medium” Variant on pic below. Alternatives:
Try Koda, Flame Legion, Deathly or Embriodered shoulders too!
Alternative chest: Aether, Profane, Illusionist, Phoenix, Seer, Trickster, Whisperer
Alternative leggings: Vigil, Seer, Kodan, Acolyte, Council, Forgeman, Profane, Zodiac

@ Arikyali: I have no sylvari, but will try to make one on human female tomorrow.
Until that, here is yesterday’s hot request. All she had is the Lovestruck Sword and Desert Rose back – asked me to match-up a femine guardian armor set that bases on silver, elegant but stylish, ~slim and no mutch nude parts, gem ok, no ascended, show hair.

So, here is our new beauty

Hmmm I like this challange KaptenLajjan
First, sorry for “slow” response, I’m a dev myself and have to work a lot.
But here they are:
Titan (Optional Cultural pieces, Ancient Silver & Gold, Gold, Silver, some leather color would be nice too)
Evil Lord (Optional Armageddon and CoF parts) Abyss, Black, Heirloom/Wrath Dyes
Guild Guardian (lol this looks nice IMO)

P.s.: Forgot to note the parts, sorry :S
@ PanteonGR.7620: Determination Headband, kitten shoulder/gloves/leggings, Asc chest and boots. Gold, wrath and midnight rose dyes.

Woaww, did just OP asked us to use a specific meta build?
Welcome Diversity, Welcome Free Choice, Welcome your Own Taste!

Well, no thanks. I’m not using 1h Sword because it’s 2 skills I don’t like at all.
GS feels mutch better, but it’s AA dodges are hard to sync – usualy not worth mutch.
And wouldn’t sacrifice LB’s traited 1500 range, which is still short at some terrain…

Well, only reason where Hunter’s Shot could be used as Stealth giver is if it buffs uf instantly for 5+ seconds, and immobilises on projectile hit.
Any other way, would transfer Stealth bonus to Point Blank Shot and redesign whole Hunter’s Shot to some tricky stuff, which could give immobilise, or at least daze/torment if Rapid Fire doesn’t building up Torment instead of Vulnerability.
Oh yeah, and Vulnerability building should go to Long Range Shot when it even has bit faster RoF…

No clue how our “fixation” planned…

StickerHappy.8052:

Your ideas made me soo excited inside… but will it ever happen?

That depens on AN – if they want to really make uniquely working combat or not

Our pets may could give us buffs of other classes.
Like if you have a Wind Rider, that could do mesmerish things of your choice, a bear goes warrior, but raven helps you make a thief move. Some special diversity
One is sure, I don’t want them to steal my dmg…

This is how mutch care can we take about our pets in group fights:
F1: Go and die.
F2: Go and die, but try to do something at least
F3: I bet a precursor that you can’t even return alive
F4: Hey, you have to die too
Traits: Please try act at least.

Here are some sets for “Wildling” look.
Most naturalistic and savage style skin can be used.
Dyes: Charred, Choc, Chocolate, Oil Slick, Walnut, Iron, Bronze, Copper, Ivory & all natural brown hoe.
Just realised that I didn’t used the Strider’s gloves, try that too

You’re not really accurate Joshua ^^
There are a few armor sets that can be mixed well for steampunk look:

1. Helm: Panscopic Monocle, Leather Mask, Noble Mask, Rogue Mask, Aether & Aviator cap, whatever you like.
2. Shoulder: Twisted Watchwork Shoulders, Forgeman Shoulders, Heritage Shoulderpads, leather and ~any u like
3. Chest: Leather Coat, Outlaw Coat, Duelist Coat, +steampunk sets
4. Gloves: Mist Walker Gloves, Aetherblade Medium Armguards, Stalwart Gloves, etc
5. Legging: Studded Pants, Rubicon Leggings, Sneakthief Leggings
6. Boots: Heritage Boots, Rubicon Boots, Noble Boots
7. Back: Slick-pack, Backpack, Spinal Blade Back, ~Molten Jetpack

Steampunk-fit Dyes: Charred, Choc, Chocolate, Oil Slick, Walnut, Gold, Bronze, Copper.

Prysin.8542:

Hey urdriel guess what!??!!
It takes skills to properly play this game. Just sayin.

It must take a lot of skills to properly 2-hit kill rangers or stunlock them in place forever, or just to play any other imba class…

No, it actualy takes skills to survive at all – as a ranger,
and takes at least very casual skills to die from one

There are only a few sets that’s realistic enough to suit “Night’s Watch” role.
Those are medium armors tho, not heavy. All the other armors in GW2 are very different, most are free fantasy like.
The best if you mix the mentioned sets for your taste, otherwise, you won’t get this style of look.
Yet I can design you a ~Wildling style outfit if you wish. (That’s medium too, but can try.)

A clear description always helps, but in this case there isn’t mutch I can help.

Hoplomachii.6213:

Can you design one for the Asura Warrior ?
Preferences :
- No cultural armor parts
- Light colors ( Dark makes it hard to see the details )
- Headgear must be able to show the ears and hairstyle

GoT Night’s Watch you mean?
By your rules, here it is:

1. Mask of the Wanderer
2. Chain Pauldrons
3. Splint Coat
4. Chain Gauntlets
5. Worn Chain Legs
6. Militia Boots
7. Guild Backpack or Universal Multitool Pack
   Dyes: Ash, Charred, Iron. Pretty light, not really what here should be, but it’s your call.

Code: [&AgEwvwAA][&AgE7lQAA][&AgFVsgAA][&AgHsKQAA][&AgFNFQAA][&AgE+EgAA][&AgGSGQAA][&AgGFTwAA][&AgEdowAA][&AgEBUAAA]

(Chat codes are hard to mine, some displays other tier or named variation)

Hahaha, our burst worth not mutch. Even if you go by a full DMG spike build, you’ll found yourself on ground-locked where you wish your dmg being your defense

Uhm… Thieves usually try to escape (~80%+ Chances) when they attack us without success. I think it is US wasted time with a thief when they just walk away. Same with the mesmers and eles.

Pure Heart has my +1. We can’t operate well ~everywhere with the same build.
Yet I try to use my… Power Ranger? build, it is just not enough powerful than my oponent’s basics, meanwhile I miss only 1 ascended gear of all and can’t sacrifice more defense for dps.

A customer who wanted to remain Anonim, asked me to make a GoT Night’s Watch setup for Warriors and share it freely for anyone. He’s a Role Player.

Codes: [&AgHfDQAA][&AgGDEAAA][&AgFVsgAA][&AgE5FQAA][&AgE7FQAA][&AgF7DAAA][&AgE+mgAA][&AgGsOwAA]

Set parts of these or similars can be used for variations

Overhaul? https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/iR-Ranger-Redesign-v2-NEW-Mechanism

But I fear we’ll get just some minor upgrade…

Well, Stealth’s rules are just missing, so it’s OP.
Whenever a casted action made (even miss, obstructed, blocked attacks), it should reveal them for long. And the fact they can really get out of combat and just disappear for like forever if wanted is another stab-to-the-bone at balance.
Yesterday I’ve fought a mesmer girl, who somehow was able to mantain damage vs 2-3 of us, recharging HP without mutch problem, and when I managed to interrupt her skills in row, she just disappeared and re-appeared at the other end of SM. Strange…

Pet mech is just bad. They should work both controlled and automatic. Yet no fix on them…

GS Block: It blocks well, but when someone physicaly attacks you, you stop. How fun when trying to run away from a whole zerg, you root yourself to die right in place.
I take like 100,000 DMG meanwhile doing that knockback…
Pretty half-worth, compared to other blocks…

Range: Just bad. I have the same issues with my swoop+1500 range shots. People just outrun us without mutch effort. We have no hunting conditions, thats it….
Swoop is good, just seems slow/short, meanwhile it shouldn’t.
Problem with LB is the low ROF. If they really want us to sustain damage, we have to do that with good Rate Of Fire.
[Cripple, Chill, Immobilise, Stun, Knockdown/Knockback needed]
And Warriors, amongst greatest DMG and defense, they can run like an F1/NASCAR. Gg…

You’re right Hattoni. I wrote it because otherwise most people would just go along, even if found the “droid” he was lookin’ for
So, bring on the matchup suggestions

Hmmmm did anyone saw here a price or missed the “no pay required → TipJar” reply of mine? Services usually costs. Maybe I’m the only one who didn’t even said a price…
FYI: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tip_jar

@ Room: There are both ways. Stylists and Designers exist for a reason.

It is good to have an Evade on AA, which rarely happens in good time ^^

Mine pets die on swapping and within 1-4 sec when reaching a mob…
So we’re losing by ~30% dmg since ~2 years, yet AN didn’t hotfixed it with no-dmg-at-pets-without-trait until they don’t figure out how to make it right.

Sorry, but I can’t call this professional at all…………

Let’s clear it up a little

• No paying required! It’s TIPJAR as you see.
• This service is for advices.
• You may not like “Elven” matchup, others do. Honestly, I don’t like the most of skins, yet people think they’re sooo coool. We’re not the same, after all
• Whenever I made a matchup, I’m getting PM’d a lot to ping in, because they like it. So I’ve decided to help others get their own look, before they just equip a full set or copypaste someone else, or even worse, throw up everything that seems like more than a disco ball than an actual gearset.
• I’m sharing a full chatcode to ctrl+V, then you can make your final adjustments.
• Also helping all the way until it’s 100% done with the decision.
• Thanks Rouven, Domino & Arnaas!

Before-after pics, good idea! I’ll put down my my own last change this time;
I was wearing a demon-hunter like outfit not long ago – then decided to go more elegant, noble and armored:

Um…seriously! I’m looking to get paid by helping anyone who can’t find his way of look.
There are plenty of people. I’m helping them. Problem?

Rules:

• I have human male/female, norn male, asura male chars for bases.
• Price? TipJar: Mail me the gold
• Special Requests? Go on!

A quick reference for a buddy who asked for help:

Hmm..:
Pic1: More elegant, “flowing look”
Pic2: LotR Elven
Pic3: Canthan Look (~Shiro Tagachi)

Feel free to play with dyes.
Abyss, Black, Emerald, Midnight Rose, Midnight Fuchsia, Gold, Wrath, Charred, etc.

Targeting and autoaims are bad, just sayin’…

The undye-able things bother me too… big time.

+1. Same model, unlock it All.

Best: Real-Time Combat, even if it’s not that Hack’n’Slash as I wish it to be
Worst: Ranger? Or lack of minor details,lack of real revolutionary designs.

At release?? It was like 1g for 100 gem, not barely 10, which was like 7 a day or two ago…
+1 Ima kongkittenninja

If you want to catch a Thief, best you can do is evade his attacks and throw all kind of dirt to it’s face (conditions). Best if you can keep him immobilised and stunned.

But we can’t use the pet we like to if it doesn’t help the build we like to use…
Skins and Stats not matching…
Huge design flaw in Next-Gen era…

As a Ranger, sometimes the best you can do is to lure people away from focus, when they think you’re easyloot. You may really are, but at least there is an attack of opportunity for your team, or a little time gained. It’s one of the reason why most of ranger go Bunker. May not doing anything else than leeching with hit-tagging, but at least he’s there and “playing”. No mutch problem with this… for now.

Monday I’ve met a Ranger who played some kind of bunker, kept her HP at ~40% stucked, and the minor DMG she made just tripled within a blink of an eye, no spike, no signet activations, nothing… Then when both of us were at low HP, an ally came to help me, we chased her underwater, where she with a very very stable ~20% HP just downed 3 fullHP+Buffed of us, and we weren’t beginners…

That evening WWW, I’ve encountered some more people who just totaly ignored a lot of effects, like my stealth, my block, and 2 hit-kill my ~22k HP. But we’re not allowed to talk about these kind of stuff…

I’ve seen Karl’s face when he talked about the weakness of Rangers…
He clearly knew it is a ~mess~, but also, had to try say it as smooth as possible.

They seem really aware of our problems, but when will they fix them?…

Kind of Yup.
Rapid Fire meant to be the same burst than in other games or at other classes. It’s way way slooooow. Even AutoAttack is slooooow. Not even like we could use vulnerability on any skill else than AA, where it has a reason to use and build up, hardening the pressure at each shot by time…

Guess if prices were half, I would spend my $$ on the store.
But not in this current state…

I’m sad that there are no local prices adjusted for different country GDPs.
Which is totaly a good deal for NA, isn’t that cheap for EU’s eastern part…

I want an infinity use sickle/axe, but the styles they offered so far aren’t my taste.
No Buy

aussieheals.6843:

Useless? I think not

Nice lowrank foes

Yes, I meant Rate of Fire.
How pets would work without being OP?

• No physical damage at all.
• Major-Superior Traits gives its p. damage only
• They only deal conditions as autoattack, building it on target
• Selectable effect for F2 skill, wish F3 to be designated buff as well
• F1 for Return/attack/guard ally
• The damage it takes needs to be reduced with rules like can not lose 10% of it’s HP/sec

Overall, we would have a pet that doesn’t steals our damage, can be used for both slowing down the targets or supporting ourself/teammates, and won’t be dead from the very beginning…

Would it be OP? I don’t think so.
Just as useable as we wish it to be.

This “Everything is good at design” thing blew my mind…
What the… Yeah, we complain for like 2 years so it’s ok??!

• Sustained damage: None except supporters aim that.
  Zerker meta rising for a good reason…
• Best single-target ranged DPS? Check Mesmer’s GS attacks please
• Sarcifice DMG because of Pet: Even GW1 didn’t used that. We sacrificed at least 1 of 8 skill-slot for those pets [Tame], just to be there and that was a real exchange for that additional dmg it provided. No clue why it is forced here to keep a dead piece of puppy meat near you…
• As said before, saying now and will say forever: Pet shouldn’t be used for DMG as far as not traited. It would work far better with controlled-tracker condition/buff dealer, extension of our focus/range.

I’m ~okay with their base design, our only concern is that it’s just not true, for a very loooong time not.

I will feel that sustain dmg when my arrows can reach the target and my so-called unparalled archer won’t act like a casual weekend-archer. Bring that ROF already!
