I don’t see what the problem is, to be honest. MF amor gives power and precision, so the dps won’t be much lower.

Oh dear, I’m going to do a video on just how BAD Mf gear is. Did you know the total stats on an 80 EXOTIC MF piece that effect combat are less then a WHITE lvl 80 item? And that a BLUE lvl 80 item will give more power then an exotic MF piece if it’s the major stat?

People wonder why MF is loathed so much. If you were to say “It’s skill that counts in this game, That’s why I’m in all Whites/Blues” do you think any party would take you along?

I’ve compared some armor pieces to check:
Draconic MF armor vs Cultural rampager armor vs plain white lvl80 armor:
def 363 power, prec, mf: 72, 72, 3%
def 324 power prec, cond: 64, 89, 64
def 219 power ,prec, crit: 61, 43, 3%
Certainly, overall the combat efficiency will drop, that’s part of the MF trade-off, but I don’t see any huge number differences you are alluding to.
We’re running dungeons with friends semi-regularly and I’ve yet to see MF causing us any performance dips.
And so, I have to ask. If I decide to wear MF on MY character, what’s it to you exactly?
We don’t kick anyone out of our instance party, regardless of skill level, experience, even if he’s a GS warrior glass cannon who gets one-shot by any boss aoe.

Frankly, I’ve heard of the WoW link your armor nonsense, or that you need x tier gear to enter the only dungeon that drops said gear, and would love if GW2 stayed clear of that.

Oh I forgot: If MF is so loathed, why does a Sup. Traveler rune cost 1,5 gold, while others cost 20 silver?

My theory is Sweet Revenge only works if you deal the finishing blow, but not through condition damage or a party member finishing the opponent. Can anyone confirm or deny?

Just pitching in to say I support your idea too. Extra burst options would be nice, even if not all-important.

A friend of mine had a small problem with the final event on Straits of Devastation. Namely, she didn’t get a reward. Apparently the few thousand points of damage she dealt to the guy (and a bit of reviving, but I know that doesn’t count, which is mighty weird IMO) before he insta-downed her and another 15 guys was not enough for the game to register her participation. I don’t know whether this is a bug or just an issue with numbers, but it should be looked at IMO. It’s hard to res everyone when the guy who can kill you in 1-3 hits sits right on top them. If you get downed, you aren’t like to get back up again, so you can’t meaning fully participate.
