It’s just a shift in Fotm to be honest. More power, more burst, more active gameplay. Once people get used to actually having to dodge and watch their kitten after years of bunk/bruiser slow gameplay people wont complain as much. It just a fairly large shift. I’ll be honest some changes were too much and should be reworked as the changes make the old versions over the top ( lookin at you rampage and mantras). So yea some minor changes are needed but overall Its a step in the right direction. At the end of the day this game is as casual as you can get for an mmo and always will be. I’ll stick around as it is one of the only games I have consistently come back to over the years even though the devs seem to still have little knowledge about the classes functionality 3 years in. I have faith though that things will come around but not everyone can be happy, that fact is known.

Vengeance and Illusion of Life effects?

I thought if you have them targeted where you can see their skill bar you can see vengeance and illusion of life have different icons… which look like their respective skill icons.

This. Just look at the skill bar they have different icons.

Zhaitan vs Mordy clue?

He was actually talking about killing your current allies like in that personal story and then raising them as undead to fight against you as that’s Zhaitans power. Got to realize this personal story business happened ages ago long before Mordy was even conceptualized into this game.

I know they recycle gemstore content for the most part but its usually the same stuff that we have recently seen not the original stuff such as some of the oddly discontinued items from the gem store. Don’t know why they discontinued them entirely unlike how they take stuff out from time to time and just bring it back at later dates. I would just like to see something new maybe or the retired stuff brought back for once in 3 years. A decent birthday present would be nice, queen jenna was useless and I never use the cake cannon w/e thing. Idc what they do as long as its somewhat significant.

So the 3rd Anniversary is coming up, only days around the corner and you know what that means, sales and events. So what would we like to see return in that gemstore? I think they need to finally buckle down and drop some decent stuff. All the old glasses and the famous rabbit ears I know are a huge deal amongst the community. The classic weapon skins and the Grenth hood are also classic favorites of course. Maybe some new stuff would be interesting. Queen’s Jubilee is coming up too or should at least, don’t know if they will do it though. Would be interesting to see some stuff go down in the newly renovated Lions Arch.

So well thought out, why it wasn’t a simple annual thing like they said it would be blows my mind. Like any other yearly event, not too difficult.

See my post above. Apparently due to changes in the physics engine it is more difficult to bring back than most think.

So basically once HoT drops it will prob be more or less back soon after. Eh as long as they havn’t dropped it I’m fine with that. In 3 years I’ve realized anything could happen with Anet.

Necro not looking good for PvE in HoT

in Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns

Posted by: SaintSnow.6593

SaintSnow.6593

As a necro main I have faith in the reaper. No rule says I need to use the silly new shouts, (especially that jagged horror one…dear lord that’s pure trash) wells will do fine still and the dps increase with gs and reaper shroud will be welcomed. In pvp, necro is already fairly viable and it will be with the reaper as well, maybe even better than we think giving them the lime light for once since dhuumfire days. Reap will have amazing synergy with tempest and chrono as well. One thing is for sure, the reaper has to be well executed, if it isn’t then dark days for the class will continue.

Rampage needs looking at

in PvP

Posted by: SaintSnow.6593

SaintSnow.6593

It definitely does. It just has way to much of everything and still doesn’t cancel current stance effects used prior to activation. You can’t just let one elite not only have good damage but mobility, tons of cc, large health pool and defense increase. It’s just one of those things that was buffed more and more over time until a big patch hits like the last one and now its just too much and wasn’t brought down to compensate.

Forest Strategy: When to Kill Bosses?

Simply put, don’t go mob at start. That would leave whoever went mid outnumbered or no one at all giving the enemy a free cap. Also you take the risk that a thief (who usually push far for this very reason) will promptly steal the kill hindering that amount of time useless which could then eventually lead to your team getting snowballed and 3 capped.

necro plague

in PvP

Posted by: SaintSnow.6593

SaintSnow.6593

Through possibly the last couple patches the plague skill while casting can still get interrupted while going into plague. The skill still happens except one can still get cced while channeling it. So a stomp can be interrupted, etc. It seems to be happening way more frequently and its extremely obnoxious. If this skill is supposedly instant as its tool bar suggests, why does it still have a channel and can interrupted midway. Looking for a fix to this anet.

Hey guys didn’t see anything about this yet so i went ahead. Just a PSA that apparently like some other items, this skin got a change in the fact that it now effects war horn skill sounds besides the weapon draw sound.
Now when you use it, it sounds like a weak moaning Santa. So go fourth lads and lasses and enjoy your moaning Santas.

A easy way to win the match is
the first step, you have to join unbalance or the loser team while the match points is between 300-350
the second step, join back to spectator, then you just wait for join the winner team to get the win point!

This is why PvP is dead

Actually pvp is more alive than ever in gw2. They have put in many changes that have more or less significantly impacted the old community and the new incoming community. Yea new maps and modes havnt yet made it to the surface for us who have been in it for the long haul since day one. But it’s only been recently that pvp has gotten light in the midst of everything else so hopefully something will turn up in the near future. As for now I like where they are trying to go and I’m ecstatic that they are giving pvp the attention it desperately needed.

I really want to use necro in pvp

in Necromancer

Posted by: SaintSnow.6593

SaintSnow.6593

Standard terrormancer is ideal. Fairly straightforward with the passive fear procs. Course nightmare runes are standard and energy sigil both wep sets along with a geomancy and a frailty. Frailty is good on the scepter for the auto attack applying another condi during the rotation. (As soon a another sigil, say sigil of tormenting will instantly replace frailty in pvp). Geomancy is great for leading to a burst with say reapers mark. The instant bleeds stacks are wildly good. This is also a huge way to force thieves to peel from you and instantly puts them on defense. I use carrion as I prefer the vitality as it scales your life force which is of course your main source of sustain and the power helps with your autos (especially thag scepter), life blasts, and plague.
Playing a power necro is also a ton of fun and can really bring the pain to anyone though you really need to know how to position well bc if you over extend, you’re dead.

The Celestial Meta - It hurts.

in PvP

Posted by: SaintSnow.6593

SaintSnow.6593

I don’t necessarily agree that celes is the issue but more the classes that use them and what other classes lack. Necros need some actual sustain, a staring amount if life force for instance. Passives need to be toned down as well as certain runes and sigils.
Overall we need a balance patch, we are between WTS tournaments so now is the perfect time. Eles are the prime subject of changes, yes they were the bottom of the totem pole not long ago but bc of the minor buffs they did over time leading to the sustain nerf removal in water along with signet un nerf along with new runes and buffs to celestial just pushed it over the top. Like a blaringly obviously think is how long the burning lasts and how they are the only class that didn’t get changes to their vigor uptime. This just needs to be looked at.

Good players don’t play hot join anymore. Used to, back when you could at least hop in a match between ques but since you can’t anymore there’s absolutely no point to it. Unranked is essentially the same thing except without constant 4v5s and better rewards. Why anyone is in hotjoin still baffles me.

I’ve yet to get that bug and yes its somewhat frustrating when there’s a partial or full pre made in unranked as even a duo on one team is better than two ppl without communication. But essentially it’s unranked so in the end, it doesn’t even matter whether you win or lose. This can be a double edged sword since yes it doesn’t matter, but because of that there’s nothing to really work for.

What utilities are you using for TDM?

in Necromancer

Posted by: SaintSnow.6593

SaintSnow.6593

I swap out wurm for WoP. Since it initially helps yourself, it doesn’t necessarily need focused rituals. Still a stunbreak while giving some support for you and your team against condis if you use it in a packed situation which is what courtyard consists of. Good for placing when resting someone or stomping since it can counter the condi cleave from engis and anyone else especially the poison.
Could always use epidemic as well.

Female Charr, they big and since they big they have wider range on there attacks. Also the weapons are bigger which increases range too.

Asura no good, too tiny not good range.

Think of it this way, your in a punching match, you watch to be the midget and have short arms, or you want to be the 7’ tall dude with massive arms?
Midget is never going to be able to get a hit on the tall dude because tall dude just keeps the midget’s strikes outta range but in range for his strikes the entire fight.
Edit, also the 7’ guy will land nothing but headshots and the midget will most likely be unable to even land a headshot if he could.
