The only things I absolutely despise are pocket raptors because I HAVE to kill them since escape is not possible. And the smoke scales.
Condi dps = sinister engi hands down
Power dps = Revenant/ Elementalist
Boonstrip = reaper or mesmer, probably mesmer because Chronomancer is OP as hell and alacrity is amazing
cc utility Not sure, but I know rangers are the kings of cc hands down but this can be filled by multiple roles
I’m almost positive we will have to have a PS warrior as well
Wut? There were no spoilers?
I love the music here but I also Loved Soule’s music, Though I feel his masterpiece was the morrowind theme.
Yeah exactly, I soloed most of the entire game with a zerk rev as well. I mean I already have full Herald unlocked too so…
Pretty sure necro was worse than ranger, Ranger did more dps and frost spirit was better for teams than anything necro brought to the table.Ranger might be worse now but it wasn’t before HOT

You talking about for mistward? to get the whole thing you need all 3 languages I think
The devs have said it’s not an exploit, so no it won’t
Revenant is great but yeah it has a few buggy skills. If you can look past that though its very rewarding once you unlock herald and perma boons is pretty nice. Its ranged weapon is one of the best in the game imo and the sword auto attack is extremely powerful.
The only thing I don’t get now, is what happens to the pact? are they just done? What of glints egg and destiny’s edge? all of these were things that should have been touched on at least a little bit before ending the story, to offer some kind of hope for the future. Instead we were left in disarray and nothing seems to have changed at all
My mistake I guess one been using the skill wrong didn’t notice what infused light did. Still think the passive needs to be better though
Glint’s heal skill is horribad, Lately I find I have to run Jalis for a decent heal because glint heals nothing and shiro needs to be in combat which isn’t always ideal when trying not to die…
I feel like if you want it to be passive healing then fine, but increase the amount, because it’s far too low right now
Probably dragons stand
To be fair, the story is really short.
Except since we have next to no stability besides on dodge, We get absolutely destroyed by daredevils with their knockdown spam, and dragonhunters with their instakill traps+gs 5 combo with no way to escape.
yeah having a 5 move knockdown spam perma invis to reset fights and 3 dodges is underwealming……k…. would u like a move that insta wins the game for you?
you are an idiot! Thats for sure..
I bet you never even tried the class or skills.. just heard a friend who fails at this game complaining and took what he said as true story..
Guess what.. it is not.. DD is far from being viable..and thief is not really in a good poaition either now.. but DD? Not even worth going after the hero points.
Just for the fun? You can have fun with rev too…since it is new class and is useful. That is anet master plan. Thieves will think:
What should i do: gp after hero points to unlock a weak spec or play the shiny new class that is useful and fun??
You don’t need hero points in spvp, I can’t tell if you’re trolling or not. I’ve played the game since release and theif has always been the most broken class. All they do is stealth and run away when they start to lose then come back 5 seconds later spamming heartseeker. They one shot kill just about any light armor class, and now classes with weak access to stability get wrecked by them too. theives are far from being in a bad place in pvp. Pve? sure i’d agree there, but not even close to bad in pvp Possibly the most broken, overpowered class i’ve ever seen for pvp.

Typical ranger
I don’t play ranger whatsoever.

Grats.. You look like an idiot. 5 does not knockdown and daredevil does not sync with stealth well. Learn class mechanics before trying to talk smack.
I never said skill 5 was a knockdown, I said they can knockdown spam about 5 times til someone is just dead cuz they cant get up to use stability. Reading comprehension is hard I know.
it’s not that big of an accomplishment, i did that on every single one of my characters, is every class op?
Yeah now we balance the endgame of a class based on how good it is while leveling with greens.
Good idea.Well that’s a foolish and not exactly well detailed response.
If a class while leveling, on underlevel green gear, can outplay 80s in exotics when dungeoning with them – that hints at imbalance.
If I can walk through the open world and pretty much ignore everything just by putting on a staff and spamming 5, 3, and sometimes 4 – while in areas above my level… that hints at imbalance.
If I can pull mobs in the Orr zones that are 5 levels above me, and not even notice they outlevel me… while 80s in exotics wipe on that same content – that hints at a balance issue.
Sure it might adjust at cap all of a sudden, for random reasons… but the numbers appear to line up to a situation where at 80, I will basically be unstoppable… while being ‘new’ to my class and having only a tidbit of experience playing it compared to others on their classes…
Or we could just say “ignore all datapoints but a select few when looking at balance…”
- Which is basically your point.
if ur 80 in exotics and dying on orr, you’re probably just bad.
it’s really not that hard to get to the ending, I just felt the ending was too sudden and lacking. What will happen to the pact now? what about glints egg? It should have expanded on what the next stage of the plan was imo
Burning a Dodge just for 2 seconds of stability is likely to get you killed faster rather than benefit you.
I have only issues with dragonhunters and daredevils. Rev isn’t overpowered at all imo. Generally I destroy reapers though. What we sorely need as a rev is stability because if we want it now, we are forced to use jalis which is…..meh in pvp
yeah having a 5 move knockdown spam perma invis to reset fights and 3 dodges is underwealming……k…. would u like a move that insta wins the game for you?
Lore-wise, he is the only one.
why would u ever use anything but zerker on anything? it’s only wasted stats if u have a warrior with 100% banner uptime and a ranger with spotter at all times. Which isn’t that likely. well, especially since warrior cant have 100% uptime on banners also.
That was true until the HoT release. Now that dungeons and fractals have been kittened, and the new maps are full of mobs that hit hard, there’s room for some defensive stats, especially if you’re going to melee.
I melee and do just fine, you have to learn how and when to dodge and block things, revenant also has many, many evades and 2 heals and even an elite that reduces damage by 50%. There’s no reason to go anything but zerk.
depends what you want out of your game.
That part made me so sad….
I also prefer revenant, more dps and better team support with glint.
I find I actually like jalis more than shiro…..who would have guessed.
anything that can give a ton of swiftness cuz ull be slow until you get glint.
How would you rate the HoT Fun Factor?

i’d say 7.
The maps are fun, the masteries really do give you the excitement back from leveling again, and the story so far is amazing.
The parts I don’t agree with, is the elite specs being so annoyingly heavily gated. the maps are kind of just like silverwastes all over again, some hero points require you to have 5+ people to complete. And then the story itself is gated too.
Also yeah, they are really annoying to navigate, I spent hours trying to figure out here to go in tangled roots. The only thing is, I don’t see much of a point to unlocking meguuma masteries once u get your elite spec, and complete the storyline.
I don’t plan to rush it in a day, but you aren’t seeing the problem here, I will have to 100% the HOT for the HP which are heavily gated, normally I wouldn’t care, gating things is something that should be a part of every MMO, but your elite spec should not require you to get through the entire expansion and then some to even begin using efficiently.
I didn’t even finish the first map and I already have 75% of my elite specs unlocked. And personally, I think elite spec training should be much harder that it is. But to guys like you we shall all see some nerfs pretty soon.
I take it you aren’t on a revenant then, since revs are so new, no ones going to have map completion for tyria so it will take much longer. and good, this should be nerfed.
i don’t even mind the mastery grind, I honestly did not expect the elite specs to be so heavily gated though, and that’s what bothers me. I’d have to pretty much get all the hero points in every single zone to unlock it or get map completion all over again and then complete 2 entire zones worth of hero points in meguuma
I was all for this a few days ago, but I’ve been proven wrong on this one.

i’m confused on how that’s an eastern mentality
The thing is, It wouldn’t be obsolete if they didn’t completely nerf almost every single way for non HOT players to make any money, and that’s a huge issue. I did not expect the changes to fractals to do the same thing that they did to dungeons…..But it seems Anet is just trying to cash out. I was fine with the dungeon changes only because I knew fractals were going to be a viable alternative for them to make some gold. Now all they have is the silverwastes and it’s only a matter of time before that’s nerfed too.
Do you think this was done to force you to buy the expansion or to help stabilize the economy once HoT was released. Their economist has gone into fervent detail about why a lot of the changes were made, given how hard it is to predict economic changes in an expansion situation. Actually, as a solution to that problem, wouldn’t dedicating a set amount of servers with rulesets that weren’t dependent on the HoT economy solve that problem? That way free players could enjoy the game without a “kitten” feel due to factors that were outside of their control (driven by the paying playerbase)
The damage was already done at this point, either way, 5g an hour is nothing special.
Oh if i mention the culprit it will get removed. kitten it might anyway
I’d make a comment disagreeing with you, but it seems everytime I disagree with anyone my comments get removed, I guess having a differing opinion is bad and it’s easier to just censor anything we don’t like.

I don;t get your complaint, it’s basically " I don’t know the back story because I didn’t play the living world story so now I should just skip the entire storyline" Do some research and look it up, You’ll be missing out in my opinion if you just skip through every single thing.
I agree to an extent, I did purchase heart of thorns but it really feels like they don’t care about the base game at all anymore.
Are there really only 9 new sets of armor?

Not sure where you are getting your definitions from but…
“Anemia is a condition in which you don’t have enough healthy red blood cells to carry adequate oxygen to your tissues. "
Which makes no sense with the context of armor skins.
My friend bought the HOT several days ago according to my recommendation and he decide to quit this game already. We tried to unlock the elite specialization by collecting hero points on new map and failed. The two hours we spent only gave us 3 hero points and 20+ times of death. The jumping puzzle like map is trash, so don’t force ppl to play it!
It should be difficult. They’re called “Elite” Specializations… they should take a certain level of skill. If you are not good enough to unlock the content, then you shouldn’t get to unlock the content.
Also, if he quit the game because he couldn’t unlock “Elite” content mere days after starting the game, then that is really, really sad. Sad as in “Pathetic”
You know you guys LOVE to mock the casuals, but the irony is that if enough of them start quitting over this hero point fiasco, ANET will bend over backwards to get them to stay, INCLUDING changing the HP requirements. And if the hardcores in turn complain ?
Well ANET will have no problems telling you to Kitten off…
We’ll see, I doubt it though, it took me a day for dragon hunter, kitten not even 24 hours either.
Ikr, the fact that they are the majority is true, It’s just sad and I won’t mind seeing them go personally. They are a blight on nearly every game i have ever played, thinking they should just be handed every little thing. That’s not how life works.
I would argue that this will have an inverse effect instead of what they want, I think they are going to have to give a little bit in the end, but time will tell I suppose.
