Guild Wars 2

the phantasm is enjoyable?
Did you see the video on the link? How can a skill which not hit the chosen target be enjoyable?

i guess you guys just post random things without reading anything.

chaos Storm can, yes; but may not reset pistol.
You come to the same point, pistol on mesmer is not enjoyable.
You can play word/torch, gs, staff, scepter, without a Need to switch the weapon.
but with pistol you just can’t.

at the point you switch, it doesn’t matter if you can reset the CD with chaos storm since you need to wait 10 sec. 33% won’t break the game:
Pistol/trait: on mesmer, as it is now, is not so cool.

I don’t know how you count, but [Bullet alone will halve its own cd when hitting and interrupting 2 people.] is wrong.

the video in the first link, is the old version of Duelist Discipline.

Duelist’s Discipline is not very enjoyable.

Reduce cooldown on interrupt is nice, but—->25% not rewarding enough.

25% seems huge, but even after 2 or 3 interrupt you have to switch the weapon even before enjoying the reduced cooldown, the effect seems not worthy.
what about 33% recharge.

above of this the interrupt with bullet won’t reduce the cooldown. link

There is lack with Pistol.

Phantasmal Duelist target randomly enemies between you and your target link
—-->not a trustworthy weapon

may be piercing shot effect as solution, i don’t hink that it is too much to ask for the phantasm to hit the target, you want.

you surely know how to destroy the economy in the game

Robert Gee.9246:

• Illusionary Avenger: …snip…
  This phantasm no longer shoots a bouncing projectile but instead initiates a melee attack that slows enemies and gives alacrity to allies within a 240 radius around the target. Removed old phantasm description.

Not sure if I like this change at all, very sceptical about this one. Sure, I want to test it first, but placing phantasms in melee range, and only hitting one target with slow at the time is a big nerf overall to this one.

In full melee range this phantasm wil be pretty useless in both PvE and PvP

At least not everybody is blind.
But let’s see what they mean with initiate.

@Robert Gee,
The time some people proposed change on phantasm i knew already something like this would happen.
So I’m going to give you the ultimate idea.
I.Avenger should strike his shield on the ground, creating circle wave (call it echo of time i don’t mind) when striking the enemy or passing trough allies, deal damage and buffs.
We are playing an action’s game. So i don’t mind if the enemy can block or jump to avoid the wave. So you even give a purpose to jump, you make everybody happy, and you add a third dimensions move in pvp.

If you want to make it Op add a knock down on the wave. So simple it is.
Change idefender in the same way. He need even more the knockdown, as stopping the enemies.

Robert Gee.9246:

This phantasm no longer shoots a bouncing projectile but instead initiates a melee attack that slows enemies and gives alacrity to allies within a 240 radius around the target.

This mean the phantasm now has to be near the enemy in order to activate his buff?
As long as the he doesn’t reach his target he won’t cast any buff?

This mean the phantasm now Hit a single target?
if it is like this, you have some strange happiness and satisfaction.

may be you forgot about I-warden. This is now a run and die phantasm, but you are happy.

i guess because of taunt you can dodge nothing

so they are reducing dmg from ther classes, but let an instant (without warning) 4k- 6k-8k damage skill running around?
i was looking on wiki to understand the dmg; but i saw something like this http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Chilling_Slash . So i was wondering; what the hell is going on. The dmg should be lower.

so thanks for the answer.

what’s wrong with this attack why does it deal so much damage
Chiling, lacerating or blinding, what’s going on?
some time 6k, is this a standard?

i don’t understand, are you here for you or your friend?

what i understood, you said you tried to loing in the first post, and now you are talking about the 25k AP of your friend.

So he sold you his keys, and now want to get the account back after it was blocked. Since both of you used the same key?

or he bought a fraudulent game 3 years ago and they just noticed it a the present time?

i am just curious.

Your build may not work as intended

Marauder Amulett + Persisting Image is a waste. They will still die very quickly.
But true you get some damage bonus. from Retaliation. what may be good as well.

Protect phantasm hmmm, if you play pvp ( since teh build is placed on pvp) you should better take restorative illusions. If not, you may be a martyr for condi.

Last thing, you will be very sad since at this time most of the strong people will clear this slow and cripple very fast. and you can not sustain it.
May be you should look for Power duration’s rune; and ignore the condi you afflict

Dungeon selling, srsly don’t kitten me off with this crap here.
I hate people like you.

Ok i hope you will read this and take it in count for the future.
This Event is more like an HIT and RUN.
This is crap, it is not focused on finishing 1 event but more hit some monster on each event.
It completly lose the sens of event. Hit and run nothing more.

I considered you to be smarter with the way to give people rewards.
[Where is the Good Anet team, who thought “each people has the right to open the boss chest, and the chance to get the Nice item”]
You beat so much mmo with just this idea, now you are doing Hit and Run event?
Give us even focused on Goal.

And i guess- 99% sure this is only the first Event form a Serie before HOT, so
people don’t need to grind as hell thinking, they can not get the item they want in time.
True?

G W 2 is becoming G R I N D.

yoh…… since they decided to be a competitiv game like others, things are changing.

I don’t agree, I don’t want Chronomancer to be easier than it is now.
If you want to land the skill, place it at thre right moment at the right place.
240 is enough, I though it was small, but it is enough, there is no need to increasce the size.
The well is quite fine as it is.

For the float, you want “float” so much?
Ask for a debuff on the enemy per puls caused by the gravity.

2 version:
.1rst: if the enemy get 3 puls—> 3 debuffs he get float for 1 sec at the end of the well.

.2nd: the enemy get a debuff per puls—→ cause 0,33 sec float per puls; activate when the well end or when they manage to leave the well.

So you have your “float”.

But as said before, I like how it is now. I don’t want it to be changed again. I found away to use it. You’ll find one aswell.

But stop asking for change on everything.

you can look at some videos, you’ll see it is pretty useful. follow link

Blades of Sabatine.5639:

Not bad, but you did not post your build, traits, runes, siglis, and weapons used. I know i can see the weapon but still it would have helped.

Also did you use the same build for all 10 games?

All this will help with understanding your play style.

Well, the base build was the same.
just rune and sigil variation to see what could be the best.
I also change the heal to know what is the most suited for me.

Combination with Mental Defense ; Illusionary Reversion and Echo of Memory is great.

You know: You block get defender and avenger. You shatter 2 you get 3 illusions; You shatter again, 1 still left. it is just awesome.
I hated it to rely on decoy. Really people search for you even if you don’t use decoy. It is great.

The gameplay of Chronomancer make you really feel like a true master of Illusion.
You gonna be a junky.

@Chaos Archangel.5071:

So you want their attacks to be unblockable. I don’t agree.
It is fine to let people being able to block them. Better add some priorites than changing the skills (i think there are already some.)
You can still position yourself to be able to get what you want.

Why don’t the phantasms last long? Because we play inappropriate build in coordinaton with what is their purpose.
but they do their Job.

No, it is fine how it is. stop thinking about pvp only, and it is balanced.

It is really a nice Special ability. But does it really need to prevent capture-point contribution?

I know following some Logic, you may say they; The Chronomancer leave the current time line, so it is like he is not here.
But let’s say his presence is real, his body is real, so there is no reason not to be able to capture point.

I mean the ability is no the prefect one;
The condi you have on you won’t be erased. You are not Invulnerable
The Continuum Split itself can be destroyed
You just need to be knocked back and you will lose 3 sec.

So there is really no real reason to have “Prevents Capture-Point Contribution” on the ability.
i tested it; it is very usefull, (true) but hard to handle. You have to know exactly, ahead of time what you will do in the split.

“Prevents Capture-Point Contribution” has no place there

what do you think?

follow link

NO, the Shield skills are fine how they are now. Summoning a Illusion on Block, is a mesmer Trademark. It also help you to keep Illusions up.

build

I was already insulted as OP and such. People are takling about nerf, but i really don’t know if chronomancer are that OP.

I didn’t participate to the first Beta, and 80% of the Chrono that i met lost to my simple mesmer.
So, i don’t really know if they are Op.

I guess we can call the build i played a Phantasm based build. Even without decoy it is fairly hard to follow the chronomancer. It feels so great having illusions everywhere.

Wells:
Wells should maybe have 4 puls.
240 radius feel small, but if you can handle it, they are terrifying.

Elite:
Well of gravity seems weak if you look at it, but combine it with well of calamiry; recall or action and you get something great. Supported with Powerblock and Delayed reaction, it is a pain for the enemy.

Echo of Memory:
This Block is weak, as most the mesmer’s Block. You block the first attack and get all others Hit. I don’t say it is useless, it is just a weak block. But Déjà-vu and the summoned phantasm are usefull if you don’t play a glass build.

Shied with Chronomancer really don’t suit to glass build. you may be able to do great things, but…. having your phantasm dying to quick is just too sad.

Tides of Time:
This is the best, epic, shield skill ever seen. This is just too sweet and too great.
I hope it won’t be changed. You know when you use it; you feel safe.

vid 1 <—- ok this is the most boring i think.
vid 2--8min38 here i come!!!!! <—-our ranger flamming other, but look at what he did at the end. (last 1min30) We could have won this.

From this used the wrong well, not that it wasn’t a good combination but still; it should have been Well of Calamity instead of Well of Recall.

Since i didn’t read the description of Continuum Split (idiot as i am) I was wondering why do i gradualy lose the captured point. So yes, Continuum Split prevents capture point. (srsly Mr and Ms dev: this is not needed; It is hard enough to correctly use it)

vid 3
vid 4 <—- Ha!! you can see the build at begin.
vid 5 <—7min13 some nice fight….
vid 6
vid 7 <—1min37, i took some drugs and was Hype, got some kind of super eyes.
The idea was to really confuse the enemy with Ether feast as heal (No indicator who is the real one) + Signet of Illusions. But i am bad at healing…. Often i froget to heal.

vid 8 <— 1min41 epic brawl; ending it with continium split + well of gravity.
vid 9
vid 10 <— 5min 28 epic combo

Don’t be too hard with me; new mouse and new keyboard, Lots of mistake. Just look over it. I was just enjoying Beta test and made some vid for people who may want to see the Chrono’s Gameplay.

Posting build and feedback later.

build
Slot 8 can be used for everything you want.

I tried mostly all kind of build and weapon combi.
I found out that you better play some tanky build with shield.
Domination trait: to remove people boons and inflict vulnerabilty. Power block is nice.
Inspiration trait: condi clean, heal.
And Chronomancer: Slow on interrupt (work fine with well of gravity), with illusionary reverson and Chronophantasma, you don’t need DE anymore.

I tried all kind of heal with the build. Since you can keep 2-3 Illusion up most of the time, i saw the Signet as the best possibility.

why don’t you open them?

and you still didn’t find Charged Quartz Orichalcum Amulet of the Hive. oh….

error code, following the issue

As you loaded the last patch i got stuck in pvp server.
Legacy of The Foefire

Now i have the message Match in Progress and con not enter PVP anymore.

you DO NOT need to buy it.
Noboy put a knife on your neck and tell you to buy it.

guy this is just a kitten kitten dye, get over it, if some people buy them for 800 g in Auction, it is their problem.
My God, stop crying for every poop

srsly i understand you; i did already 2 thread which were just ignored.

But for human male this is the best i could do.

Hello GW2 Team,

I think you are not doing well with the expansion, It was very impressive as you talked about it some months ago, most of the people were hyped for it.

But with your current politic; (Showing a bit, a bit, and a bit); you are destroying the “we are amazed” effect.
The day you will release it, it will just be an add on nothing more. People won’t hang on it.

People are getting bored, it is not entertaining anymore what you are doing.
If you want to amaze customers, you give them a beautiful flash.

I mean if you want somebody to eat your dish with love. As you are cooking it; you don’t give him some meat, some vegetables, some beans from the dish. Because the time you finished it, he already ate and is not hungry anymore.

You slap on people’s hand and say wait until it is finished.

It is hard, but it may be the good way.

I don’t know if you can understand what I mean.

But I tried to give you my opinion.

i don’t know really know what you mean by farmer; but i do like playing pvp it is fun. I play for fun not for farming.

I thought: everybody has a lot of them, so maybe we could get some trade for 100 or 50 of them.

i found outfits which i like the most, and i don’t need new gears.
So playing some pvp they began to gather.

please could we get some other use for a couple of them?
I mean they just gather and gather…. i would like you to let us trade some of them for something special

instead of falling back in this bad set up (solo & team) may be should we use our energie to find a better solution.

you know may be the wear broken gears.
I think it also count as equiped (geared what a nice word) in pvp.

yes.

because it would also resolve the solo vs team queue in pvp.
If you have the possibility to coordinate, it is awesome.
But Sure you could turn it off. You don’t have to talk or to listen.
I would like them to give us the Possibility.
In Pve (only for dungeon) it could even allow them to make harder dungeons.

you know…. Open up possibilities

But either way it is a community game, I don’t see any bad point in Auto Voice Channel for pvp.

i fear the warrior but not the guard…..
so i guess warriors hurt more

Would you like to have a Voice channel for pvp match?

Yes?
No?

because of the light beeing different form place to place.
And yes character presentation can be different, because of your graphic or may be for the game not be down on frame. It is not uncommom for Char presentation to be different.

guy this is only if no enemies is near, you won’t do it in dungeon, you won’t do it in pvp, you may do it in www to run away, but even then, it is useless.

Just for show off ok.

if you meet a team with 1 chronomancer you may win the match.
if you meet a team with 2 chronomancer you may still win the match.
if you meet a team with 3 chronomancer fight but forget about win.
if you meet a team with 4 chronomancer sit on base.
if you meet a team with 5 chronomancer you can disconnect.

in group those guys are OP. alone not. this is how it is.
every a bit skilled mesmer will now how to use double Time warp.
now if they are in teamspeak or have a good way to communicate, you can never win a team fight, the more chronoamcer are there.

this is how it is.

Did you even purchase Hot?
do you even play Mesmer?
Do you even read my first post?
Where kitten is this weapon switch coming from?

Gs/S.Shield
2 or 3 illusions f5
Spawn 2 phantasm shattering, Spawn 2 phantasm shattering.

Ok let’s wait 2 more months….. i am off .

this is how far people can see….
Did you now reach my level of sight or do you still need 2 more months to understand.

is this thread serious….?

apharma.3741:

serenke.4806:

To all the genius people in this thread and elsewhere… Mirror Blade is something that you can DODGE hilariously easily.

If Anet follows their present route of nerfing every class that can burst, you will have a glorious celestial meta again, where eles are going through endless rotations and barely damage each other, cleanse all conditions, engis will quietly get their range back so they don’t feel left out and then all you still need is the shoutbow since Anet will have to fix the warriors (they cannot stay in this rampage or gtfo state).

Too bad that the celestial meta is plain boring as kitten.

Most mesmers know this however most of these genius people also know how things work. Frankly if this is the only thing we get reduced in damage and the mantra modifier (which I don’t really think needed nerfing) then that’s great.

They could have reduced the 15% baseline on phantasms, reduced MW by 10%, removed fragility, nerfed master fencer and a whole host of other things and believe me those are a lot stronger than a 1.5k extra bounce.

if it was really like you say; why do you all cry about it?

yes, i wanted to know if it is like this.
So besides Banners are there others?

so there are really special, but the cooldown start right after using the Banners?

Warrior Banners, i didn’t know about it.
How long do they stay active?

Is there any Utilities that cooldown can not be reduced by trait? in the whole game, and why?

• Banners (cooldown start right after use)
