Guild Wars 2

Leave cele alone but a higher ICD on Blinding Ashes,a rework of Diamond Skin and more importantly making Elemental Attunement only apply to your self would be greatly appreciated.

Or, you know… Give us the greatsword…

btw, what’s left out of utility skill types? Like mesmer got wells, ele got shouts, guard got traps… what’s left?

Hate to think warrior might get “shadowstepping” with it’s berserker elite (that might get daggers…)

Both ele and necro got shouts, so there’s no limitation on what we might get in terms of utility skills.

Oh yeah, I forgot necro’s got shouts as well.

Well they did specify at least one elite spec will get shout which means it was already expected that at least two classes would get shouts. They didn’t say anything about weapons but I’m not believing staff until I see it, people need to stop worrying about cosmetics only.

It’s the same for every class thief trickery,ele arcade,war discipline etc. the unique line naturally fits all or is intended to.

It won’t proc that often with carrion,your scenario is ideal/perfect the kind that you see vs PvP golems and again burn guards are falling off. If it’s not intended they’ll fix it whenever they decide to remember vanilla GW2 still exists.

Just give us the rifle already some people deserve to be fired…at.

At this point it seems most just worry about cosmetics I’m wondering how can a staff be better than d/p without copying what’s left of s/d the same for rifle and p/p. At least I hope they deliver a new playstyle a surprise would be that we actually get a torch.

Moonlit.6421:

Wonder if this guys actually leaving or if we’ll see another one of these in a month or two….

Meh bai either way!

Lol just because you stopped playing doesn’t mean you’re not going to check forums.

I always thought this was intended you’re taking a huge risk staying overtime in torch or only use torch. Also burn guards are falling off in favor of bunker but meh we’ll see if it’s really intended…soon.

Kidel.2057:

Oh and look, no necro is bothering with healing power builds.

I’m currently using celestial on my necro coupled with the GM minor of Blood Magic I feel confident saying it’s doing way better than power or condi necro possibly even better than soldier signet only comparable build would be MM necro, support/bunker necro is also a thing.

Leave room for experimenting and again only siphon from runes,sigils and food don’t scale asking them to not scale is the same as asking condition to do great damage with no investment in condition damage.

I strongly believe it’s not worth it at least with just starting LF which should be baseline.

Zealot.

Message Body length must at least be 15.

Only siphons from runes,foods and sigils don’t scale with healing power to my knowledge so why is this even a topic? Did I miss something or is necro forgotten?

The only thing about Ele’s burns being OP is their Ring of Fire.

• Forces people to stand still in it or not cross it.
• It’s on a 15s cd
• A 1/4 cast time means it’s not easily interrupted.
• If you run through it, you’re pretty much dead unless some one condi cleanse your mistake.

Considering Eles bring it out every 15s, it’s 2x more effective than Purging Flames on Guard considering PF can get interupted and its on a higher cd. Our PF is simply more outplayable than Ele’s.

No.

Yes.
I’ll go 1 step further and explain myself as to why. People see huge burn bursts from Ele but it’s almost always from entering and exiting Ring of Fire. It’s why people think they do insane burns but really, it’s that one skill doing all the work; applying 6 burn stacks instantly because they were running right when the Ele cast it on them.

Care to explain your “No” reply or do you not have an explanation?

Empty Sky.6354:

Again burn needs nerfing on all classes,eles aren’t the only ones with burn.

Burns don’t need a nerf on Guards. Burn Guards are hardly as viable in higher tier pvp.

No.

The only burn I see living on is from cele ele because people keep walking in the fields conditions fell off big time and saying nerf burn on all classes when Dhuumfire is questionable and pretty much condi war,ranger,mesmer and even burn guard(in favor of bunker) are falling off is not the brightest idea.

Edit: It’s not a bright idea at all.

This happens more lately I even have some people afking because they don’t like who is on their team.

I switch from that to a cele version and I’m currently stuck with cele dhuumfire wells. It’s not rewarding enough and scepter/dagger are weak links,losing Blood Magic felt real big bad since Dhuumfire doesn’t suit pure condi specs. Condi necro was succesful only a couple 1-2 week after patch then they died off just like power necro,glass doesn’t feel rewarding at all the only effective builds have built in sustain.

Pazu.8320:

So you want your minions to reappear after the transformation is over? You want them to be completely immune to damage for 10 seconds? You want them to continue to attack while you have been completely disabled? Not sure how any of these issues could get solved without setting your minions on cooldown. Possibly they could start recharging when you get moa’d (maybe they already do?) or be back up for you to summon immediately. That’s a lot of casting to resummon them though >.< I’d be fine with that though.

Just don’t let it destroy minions.

Trapper Runes are not in PvP Radiance ones shouldn’t it’s pure favoritism.

I hope you arent seriously there…

There is no using thief traps without it,ranger traps are falling off(they are asking for it too) and DH traps are not impressive if anything you can play auramancer effectively without those runes it’s not a must. True they were intended for thief but that was just lazy design.

So you are complaining because you want a “new” rune, and you come here saying Anet should not implenet “new” runes… Lmao

You only mentioned 1 rune for 1 spec due to 1 recent livestream. My point of view is a general one for more runes despite their lazy design.

Tank/bruiser amulets are more rewarding with necro I would strongly recommend not going either glass or full condi. Can you at least fully share your build?

Bhawb.7408:

Annnnnnnnnnd now I agree they dump on our shouts. They deal more damage with shorter cast times (when they even have one), lots of cool effects (though I think some of our shouts are cool in concept). And some of their utility is just absolutely insane, an AoE stunbreak on 10s ICD, what the actual kitten.

I found it quite surprising that Karl also works on thief just like Robert also works on mesmer. Nothing is final yet and I’m pretty sure there will be a beta for specializations just for HoT they’ll try to not make it suck. Again they don’t see the game like we do.

Anchoku.8142:

What was Reaper supposed to do, again?

Looking cool,scary and something called melee cleave I believe.

Wouldn’t making fear a CC effect only easier?

Would be a pretty big change to Fear, by making it not a condition it removes all condition-based play/counterplay. No condi duration increases with generic condi duration anymore for example.

i agree, but as a CC effect it also shouldn’t be so freely cleansable. The OP’s suggestion seems the best of both.

That it just one trait though I might be optimistic but maybe if fear was more “stable” our actual condition damage output could improve. Not disagreeing with the goal of the suggestion but weapon swap is instant just like attunements or DS I don’t really see it making into the game.

Please tell me that you are trolling.

It’s true that Lich’s AA overshadows the other skills with Rampage it’s the stomp ability and stances no damage,stab nerf or ban are needed.

Wouldn’t making fear a CC effect only easier?

Necrotize.2974:

Sagat.3285:

Necrotize.2974:

Chill.

This why?

Because all the other skills/traits that remove/reduce “inhibiting conditions” like Roll for Initiative, Charge, Withdraw, Rocket Boots, Overcharge Shot, Mecha Legs, Dogged March, Geomancer’s Training and Don’t Stop all affect Cripple, Chill and Immobilize. Why wouldn’t this?

Or am I misinterpreting your very vague quote and post?

It’s 100% reduction I thought they moved away from such extreme mechanics and chill is pretty much a good counter vs ele not the end of the world but still.

Necrotize.2974:

Chill.

This why?

No Diamond Skin change confirmed.

reversing the weapons roles arbitrarily like that makes no sense.

At least power/cele will go dagger/WH and staff condi is stuck with scepter which is a weak link no the best idea but I could see axe being a better condi weapon then scepter with adjustments.

Just buff the scepter then instead of reversing the roles.

When will that ever happen? I’m pretty sure they believe condi necro is in a good spot due to signets..as soon as condition foes dropped and the weak links started reappearing condi necro droped as well, look at dhuumfire on condi spec… 3 more years to go.

Mesmer is totally braindead class right now mostly for “wannabe pros”. Except the good ones prepatch, 90% of them are totally carried by the OP class mechanics.

Yes , it’s a rant post.

I have played against ur guild visceral effect and they are totally brainless too
We dont see abjured with mesmer hmm i wonder why

Obvious Mesmer-not-OP-Protector is obvious..
Stop protecting something thats broken, like really..

The only reason why The abjured are not playing mesmer is because they have no Mesmer-player…. Almost every other top-team, especially in EU, run mesmers. It’s clearly one of the best classes atm, there’s absolutely no denying that.

The big question is how to balance it correctly.

—> Confounding suggestions only stuns if a skill was interrupted

And..:

• Blind on Shatter on ICD
• No Mantra’s while CC’d

Blind on shatter needs the bug fix to not go through evades. And not using mantras while cc’d would defeat the entire purpose of mantras.

The healing mantra needs increase of CD since mantra recharge change not sure about other ones.

Cynz.9437:

Here is the joke: i did ask top mes how to counter them. Answer was: you can’t.

By being a better mesmer obviously.

And having a better team (with a mesmer) than the enemy team (with a mesmer)

2 bad mesmers will kill a good one.

Celtus.8456:

I think they are adding WvW golems to sPvP before WTS.

Haha +1

Siva Mira.3546:

I think you are asking a bottom tier class to beat a god tier class.
Is that even possible? Well unless you are fighting against trash mesmer.

It’s possible or you can at least sustain yourself until backup. I’ve only managed to take down only one mesmer with 0 LF as long as you are not glass/condi you should have around 40-60% of winning or making him retreat in conquest that is.

They need to try harder for necro revenant simply doesn’t have a choice when using Mallyx.

Soul Reaping train line is used for (almost)every build.

Zerkwells
SigCele
Bunk
Condi

MM? i take it i over curses and spite.

DP,SM/Last gasp/ VP/DP can’t live without you.

Not complaining, but is there anyone out there who doesn’t use SR? cause i want to internet fight you.

Was just thinking the same thing and on my way to gw2 build editor to try and come up with a build that does not use soul reaping but for me that owuld basicaly mean a build that does not use staff and our other weaponskills are sadly extremely lackluster to compete with staffs utility.

Soul marks alone is extremely huge with making marks unblockable and then adding LF on top of it. Then you add vital persistence and death perception or foot in the grave and it’s almost always too freaking good to pass up.

Current soul reaping is like pre dhuumfire 10 points into death magic for greater marks but this time it’s a whole trait line lol.

I tried a condi necro build for pvp with spite/curses/blood and it was the most horrible thing I’ve played in a while. I thought unholy martyt would give me tons of sustain.. and it did until I drew immobolize and 12 stacks of burning..

My condi necro used that set up but instead of US I used Vampiric Rituals even if I have only WoP as a well,fresh post patch it was fine until the exploitable weaknesses came in seeing that dhuumfire wasn’t useful on condi I just went cele and I have no intention to switch back.

They can’t disable a whole profession..can they?

Random Weird Guy.3528:

Also, don’t tornados generally suck things in rather than knock them away?

Both but it would be useful then.

Agreed bump them all up to 50%, or get rid of them.

50% is too high, what about 35~40%?

33%

lujate.5432:

Donari.5237:

I’m skeptical about warhorn as well, as I’ve yet to see it be a really useful part of a main spec…

Warrior

Necro as well.

Kidel.2057:

And both thief and ranger are getting staff. There was no rule about not getting the same weapon.

Not guarantee for thief ele thought they were getting a sword at first and look WH now!! Tbh I’m leaning for rifle on thief so yeah this rule still stands for now.

Kidel.2057:

Sagat.3285:

Just a though they could have a minor in corruption that consume 1 sec from conditions while under resistance 1 sec interval.

that would go against the class legend mechanic that benefits from having conditions.

the problem is that atm you can only couple mallyx with jalis, since you need his condi cleanse.

a possible solution would be to make the elite skill transfer 2s of conditions instead of copying 2s of them.
Edit: no, it’s OP. 10% in all stats + invulnerable to conditions…

Well they will figure something out they won’t let rev suck.

SpellOfIniquity.1780:

Not gonna use it. Just like Corrosive Poison Cloud, Signet Of Undeath and Well Of Darkness it’ll never be on my bar.

Dungeon? As a starter..maybe..who knows?

Saiyan.1704:

Nerf burns and you’ll killed burn guardians who already have issues against these classes…Necro is practically our direct counter. Bring cleanses and l2p or find a Necro.

In the same process condi war,ranger which I stopped seeing and whatever use necro can make of Wetfire, I don’t feel like crying for nerfs but mesmer is standing out very clearly and bugs are still here.

How is this related to turret though?

Are we really doing this..? Reaper is a slow,bad,hard hitting,thematic and graphical boss…like a GW2 PvE boss.

Tbh they should stop with the 120 CD elites and yes the cast time needs to be reduced.

Liewec.2896:

Silv.9207:

The problem of burn is only about ele.

nope.
any class with burn can stack it high and fast,

play a trapper ranger with a torch and you’ll ruin peoples day,
play a burn guard and stack 10 burns in seconds watch it tick for 4k damage a second…

Dhuumfire would like to have a word with you,look at mesmer,war and engi yes even engi unless you’re staying in fields like a dummy. It’s completely justified on burn guard with ele from what I see it’s mostly people walking through the fire fields but that gives the ele a dominant pressure and time to recover while applying damage mid range that’s an ele issue not burning even with ranger it becomes predictable once you knows he’s trapper.

bhagwad.4281:

I’ve seen some really funny necro videos lately.

You know what? We need to have a sticky only for funny necro videos. Here’s a funny suicide one I watched recently

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpE1THeVGLM

They will have learn to make proper corruptions cough cough Mallyx. CC,CB and Plague were already in use I would like to know what they expect from the rest.
