People reviving (downed/defeated) players should take additional damage with current traits that decrease damage while reviving be reworked to offset that damage.

Yea, that is definitely a problem.
The host could have waited a bit more and Anet should not have the dungeon close when the host leaves.

Hm, completely clean out your mailbox and tell your daughter to mail you 11 times with 1 copper in each one. And don’t retrieve the copper until it is all finished. This should cover all your bases.

There is a bug where it looks like your character is running forward, but is actually backpedaling in terms of speed.

You won’t see legendary armor any time soon, you will see Ascended Armor in 2013 for sure though, yes.

Quote from 2 months ago, interpreting this as there will be legendary armor eventually.

Could someone explain avoidance mechanics?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Sobat.8650

Sobat.8650

You can strafe attacks.
A good example of this is with ranged projectiles.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Hd9c9WRTko
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdevV3itRpY
Strafe in one direction then make a sudden break to the opposite direction to make it miss.

Alternatively with melee attacks, if there is a large windup attack, you can turn around (because you run faster going forward than pedaling backwards) and dash backwards a bit to avoid the attack.

Rifle/Static Discharge PVE Build, Help Please

in Engineer

Posted by: Sobat.8650

Sobat.8650

Yes, SD can crit. I wouldn’t recommend using the trait “Scope” since you will want to be up close while using the rifle skills.

With a rifle SD build, you should focus on berserkers or assassins gear to maximize that damage rather than try to bring your condition damage up to par.

For sigils, try out sigil of fire or air for some good burst damage.

For runes, you can go ruby(POWER/precision/critdmg) or opal(PRECISION/power/critdmg) orbs or Scholar runes(10% damage while above 90% hp)

Honestly I think it’s a good thing. Gives people a couple more seconds to tag in a hit for credit, huge downed HP pool and largely helpless down skills can let players coordinate tagging in big champion events.

Don’t fret too much about race and background. It’s mainly for storyline and aesthetics.

Downed state's Place in the game

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sobat.8650

Sobat.8650

Downed is a horrible system in WvW and PvP. Simply put there are only a few things that would make it more “bearable” but I can’t think of anything that would make it actually fun.

The best solution for WvW/PvP imo would be to make healing a downed person interruptible by damage. You shouldn’t be able to run into enemy aoes and just bring your friend up. I’ve lost so many outnumbered fights not because the enemies were better players but because they just ran and rezed eachother every time they went down which happens faster than a finisher. Even if you save all your KBs for when someone goes down chances are 1 person in their group has 1 saved up to use on you whilst trying to finish. Extremely frustrating for people who prefer solo/small group play.

Agreed, resuscitating someone else should follow the same rules as bandage self.
Maybe not the cooldown, but at least stops when taking active damage.

How do you get "activity participation?"

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Sobat.8650

Sobat.8650

I believe you can do Lunatic Inquisition for that daily during the Halloween event.

Otherwise you can go to Lion’s Arch and talk to one of the NPCs with two flags over their heads.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Activity
“Activities that are part of the daily rotation can be started by speaking with one of two NPCs in Lion’s Arch, marked with the [Activity Flag]
icon. One is located at Grand Piazza and the other near the Yomm’s Mercantile. Depending on the activity, the NPCs will be marked as the Master of Activities or Citizen. "
