OneManArmy.9732:

almost all your changes are crap and irrational/no logic. well. not almost. all. dont listen him devs, he doesnt know what he is talking about.

I’d like to ask what about each individual change you don’t like but you’re probably so angry that you’ll just tell me I don’t know what i am talking about again and just leave it at that. It is very Irrational to call someone out on something and not even explain why, thats like pressing charges and saying its because reasons

If you think flame barrier is better only triggering in one attunement, I can’t see the logic in anything you are saying

He doesn’t look angry, he looks like he’s played the game.

Super Riceman.8702:

Its great that you judge entire post based on the part you want to stop on, I hope no one ever listens to you because your Sean Hannity levels of insane

I can’t fathom the last part of your sentence. I don’t judge the entire post, it’s simply that it started with such an enormity that I couldn’t possibly answer the rest because I was laughing way too much to type.

Super Riceman.8702:

Very brave to call someone else on their suggestions but your too much of coward to even put out your own, if you think you know what is better than you can prove it.

Why would I bother putting my own? devs hardly ever read this subforum and no wonder when it’s filled with threads like this one. Everybody knows there are worthless minors on every class, it’s nothing new. Some day ArenaNet may reredesign them but until then (if they even ask for feedback), we can but wait.

Super Riceman.8702:

If it triggers by ranged attacks (not melee) that its likely that the enemy is fighting at range using projectiles, even if they dont attack it can buy 3s to heal like ether. and its not a chance, if a requirement is met it always happens not 50 chance to happen.
Good luck with your insults but I hope no one ever reads anything you put on the internet because you dont have the balls to try and make a better suggestion

You should try and read my posts : I didn’t insult you. Your knowledge of the class and/or game seem rather weak, though. Just the fact that you consider using a 3s random proc to use your heal (which would require the stars to align) speaks volumes in that regard : in case you don’t know, if you’re taking damage from 2 or more players, channeling ER is a bad idea since you’ll probably take more damage than ER will heal. Unless you’re being a wall but then no need for reflect…

EDIT : I just noticed you want it to proc only on ranged attacks. Aside from the fact that you didn’t specify that at first and that it would be annoying to implement (since there are no similar traits I can think of), do you think those two players wouldn’t have some close range non-projectile skills they could use in the meantime? unless you’re only fighting rifle engineers, that’s not happening. Even then, they would have some attacks that aren’t projectiles so yeah…

Super Riceman.8702:

If you want to believe that Obsidian Focus, Soothing Winds or even Flame Barrier is made worse by this then I’ll just stop reading a post when I see its you

The only good idea you had was Flame Barrier, because you kept it simple. It seems that whenever you think too much about a trait, it has to become something that is extremely passive and/or useless. Maybe you enjoy that kind of gameplay, but I don’t.

Super Riceman.8702:

You could have put out your post with out being a kitten by saying something like (I think it would be better if it trigger on a skill like focus skills) However, you decided to insult me so you can think you won some battle. If you think putting down others will put you above them, you are lower than dirt.

Again, I didn’t insult you. I just didn’t go through the trouble of answering it all as I considered it a waste of time because you obviously are very much new to ele. If you intend on answering this post, you should have the courtesy to present it like I just did so that one can answer back easily (your previous posts look absolutely disgusting, that’s another reason why I won’t read them, there is no way to tell where you’re quoting me and where you’re typing). I would also appreciate it if you stopped trying to defend those traits.

Mobile authentication does not send you a mail, you just need to type the code that’s on the phone. I don’t think you can remove it if you don’t have the phone but I guess CS can do that for you.

You also don’t get email confirmation that you’ve set it up.

Bombsaway.7198:

Here is my current spec that I have run forever and love. It does however sort of suck when trying to run away or when facing the stun train. Other than that I have problems getting focused or when we fight larger groups with my current build.

Still, trying to be a team player so I wanted to post their thoughts first and get a reaction.

Just get rocket boots then :o

OP ! pls nerf

/15char

“Magnetic Aura provides 5s of reflection, two less is not useless.”

I stopped reading there. Magnetic Aura is a skill, you choose when you activate it. Of course it’s not useless. Your idea of a trait is RNG, lasts 3s, and you pray there are projectiles at that time. Good luck with your theorycrafting but I sure hope no dev ever reads your post because the whole deal is beyond terrible.

Precise Sights is a terrible trait. Stabilized armor is okay but Protection Injection is better. You will be much more sustainable that way (Backpack Regenerator will help a ton). You also didn’t have Grenadier, which you need oO. I changed the rune, too.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vcAQJAqelUUpEr1XxvLseNiMqQnJ6R+pfW2nHvFbBhA-zEyAINhQaBA9BMHWEN2SWR0Y1MYqUioaPSR0qJFAETjA-w

Or you could replace backpack regenerator with stabilized armor.

I don’t even know why you had -20% CD on elixirs tbh…

Also, if you read the threads in the PvP sub-forum, or followed the Dev Tracker, several times it was stated, ‘Spend your Glory now!’

And the majority of the playerbase read the forums, it is known.

see what you did there, but ignorance has never been a justifiable reason. If people that want to use the resources provided then it is only really your own fault.

Your second sentence makes little sense but I’m just defending the OP, I did spend my glory.

Why am I linking last year patch notes, you ask? because they reverted that specific nerf, that’s why.

I’m not saying that’s game breaking at all, just saying that if they did nerf it by 18% and if they now state that they reverted it, it’s a tad stupid that it’s actually not 18%.

Other than that they did not revert the stealth nerfs they did on that heal (which was OP): EA made it proc like 3 times, changing attunements made it proc and scepter earth #2 made it proc 5 times.

And I’m on your side you know, that the warriors have a more reliable heal while having way more hp and armor than elementalists is preposterous.

Super Riceman.8702:

[but you did comment]

This is annoying as hell to read, gj. Do you know how to read? I said I wouldn’t comment it all.

Super Riceman.8702:

[In a fight the ele is targeted as much as an anet employee is in these forums, projectile reflection is in fact not useless and the # of dmg to proc it (just like any other # here) could be changed]

Projectile reflection is not useless but 3s is a short time and the trait is passive and random. That’s why it is useless. You get focused by a thief or another ele or a mesmer or whatever, the chances that they use projectiles in that 3s time window are so low it’s laughable. And more than 3k from 1+ ennemies in 1s? Do you want passive gameplay in case you’re focused? Do you even like passive gameplay? I sure as hell don’t.

Super Riceman.8702:

[There is never a time when you want conditions but it will be more frequent than having full endurance if your not traited to get it]

That would be nice if you didn’t need to dodge in pvp. Since you need to dodge, you’ll rarely see a build without either II in arcana or +50% endurance regeneration when using a scepter. Not to mention the possibility to use Sigil of Energy with any other sigil now…there’s room for timing your burst with that 25 minor. Hell, if you can manage to open someone and burst him, it’s working. If you know how to position yourself, you won’t be focused immediately and you may get some nice use out of the minor.

Now as I said, when you have 4 conditions (which is rather rare, hopefully) it’s likely there’ll be burn or stacks of bleed and you’ll want to remove that asap, not damage the ennemy. It’s just a very bad idea given the base hp of elementalist. Maybe on a warrior? even then, meh. Not to mention that having 4 conditions doesn’t rely upon you at all…that would be okay-ish for a necromancer trait I guess (their new GM + the signet that transfers conditions to the necro).

Super Riceman.8702:

[It was already a passive trait, The healing power increases the heal before the health is lowered so depending on the #s of each you will still live, that isn’t preposterous at all if the right #s of each are given]

The healing power increases the heal, that sounds very nice and all but what about poison? and how would that work, you gain hp per condition on you? Past the initial tick you’ve gained nothing and your hp is going down anyway. That would be a terrible GM trait no one would use.

Super Riceman.8702:

[It may not be as essential if the fire and air trait lines dont have to completely forgoe any survivability]

You didn’t offer anything for the air EA and again, water EA is amazing and truly needed for some squishy builds. Hell, it’s been nerfed by 50%. Do you really think ArenaNet would consider changing a trait that people are still running after it’s been nerfed to the ground?

It used to be that necromancers and engineers could do certain tricks to break through Diamond Skin, although it required some effort and a little luck. With the Signet of Restoration buff, it’s now impossible.

It’s not too bad because the build is rare, but, honestly, the trait shouldn’t exist in the first place.

My advice: Make the threshold 75 percent but make it only reduce condition durations by 50 percent.

signet of resto before patch – 156 hp/cast
after – 226 hp/cast.

wow. game breaking!

That’s not 18%.

kitten this forums bugs. ok , once more

gw2skills still not updated
176hp/cast with 10 in water
212hp/cast now 10 in water

100-100*176/212=16.98%

yes, definitely not 18%

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/info/updates/Game-Update-Notes-April-30-2013

Signet of Restoration skill: Reduced the passive healing by 18% in PvP.

I don’t know whether your calculations are wrong or whether theirs are. It’s just not what they stated.

And the majority of the playerbase read the forums, it is known.

I’d say Fresh Air ele has a slightly better burst than shatter mesmer, but not by far. At the moment, elementalist is probably better for sPvP because it has a few more viable options than mesmer (which can play shatter or interrupt but that does less burst).

Which class is harder to play? I guess elementalist is, but not by far, again. Both are squishies so you have to be careful. You should try both and see which one you have more fun with.

No wonder “Full Berserker Staff Elementalist” (with a piece of Cavalier) is easy if all you do is zerging in WvW. The only good thing about that video was the music.

WEXXES.2378:

Surprisingly, a lot of people do not know that coated bullets allows the #1 to do double damage.

Explosive Shot explodes every time it hits a target and again at the end of its flight. This can strike individual targets multiple times per shot, but does not cause extra bleeding.

No extra bleeding so kinda meh if you’re condition specced.

I won’t bother commenting it all, but there are some very bad ideas here.

"
Strength of Stone
Change effect to grant projectile reflection for 3s when you take more than 3k damage in 1s from 2 or more different enemies, cooldown 15s
"
That will never proc and if it does it might be useless, why take it?

"
Enduring Damage
Change effect to grant 10% bonus damage when you have 4 or more conditions on you
"

Is there really any time at all when you will want 4 conditions on you? chances are among the 4 there will be burn or bleed, so probably not.

"
Diamond Skin
Change effect to grant bonus vitality and healing power per condition on you
"

What? like the rest it’s passive and doesn’t make sense but this one is awful. Let’s say you have conditions, you remove them, and then the lost of vitality could kill you..that’s preposterous.

" Evasive Arcana
Change fire effect to lava font, water to Frozen burst
"
You do realize most players love the EA effect in water?

For which game mode?

Do you use Signet of Restoration?

Actually, when you open two tickets they need to close one before going any further so it doesn’t help, really

You’re welcome !

Rampager is very bad for sPvP.

Earth Armor has a lower CD, you have access to Stone Heart, that’s a start for survability.

Dps in sPvP was barely changed by ferocity. If anything the sigil and runes changes brought more power creep than anything else.

The meteor shower circle is not that much of a problem since it’s really big so most players don’t really pay attention.

I suggest you check out morderger’s twitch.

Prysin.8542:

being able to get legendaries, precursors or any other sort of “high end reward” should never be “allowed” unless all forms of track progression is removed from custom arenas.
Such rewards would just further benefit the few with money and friends, and it would just encourage a sort of “pay to win”.

Sure, it would take time, gems, money… but months of hard work in PvE/WvW should not be in vain when you can get the same in say, 2 weeks of farming PvP with some guildies/friends.

However i am totally fine with it being in tournament rewards. Bit unfair that PvP has the “best” rewards, then again, within 9 weeks of WvW, we get plenty of chances to get a precursor or two. (except me as i am cursed with bad luck)

Track progression is already capped in CAs, you can’t ask for much more.

Hello !

You shouldn’t have opened another ticket but what’s done is done. You probably ought to close the first one and focus on the second (when there are duplicates it slow things down).

There’s a sticky at the top of these subforums where you can get your ticket reviewed (3days or older). Good luck !

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/account/Tickets-for-Review-3-days-older-Part-2-merged/page/6#post3928780

You’re already supposed to be able to craft a legendary in PvP (apart from the Gift of exploration and WvW badges) but I’m guessing it would be even more difficult than to get one in PvE.

If he uses Ether Renewal, interrupt it.

Hello frands! Vee Wee here #1 engi NA and world first rank 80!

I’m not a fan of turrets! I’m a fan of what works and the build that I made that uses Flame Turret and sometimes Thumper Turret has seen very successful results! I think your problem is you want a playstyle that incorporates turrets as your primary source of damage! Why else would you trait Rifled Turret Barrels! Unfortunately that route is still extremely lackluster as the Inventions tree is still subpar! Experimental Turrets, however, is great! Hope that helped you my frand!

Wahoo! Bye frands!

…I don’t know if you’r being serious, but stop trying to brag every time you post. Being rank 80, especially after the last patch, doesn’t make you the best Engineer. Not by a mile. I don’t think anyone cares a lot about it, either.

They removed Raid on the Capricorn because not having underwater combat in PvP would make it more friendly towards new players, and it wasn’t very engaging (and probably not balanced) anyway

It was like ONE cap in a map of 3..and the only uw thing in pvp…it was utterly pointless to remove it.. I see NO reason for it whatsoever..especially as underwater combat still remains in w v w

They removed it because if they had let it in they would have had to put underwater weapons in the UI, which would have taken ressources and time. Also UW combat is anything but balanced and that is plain to see. WvW is not balanced, it is based on PvE gear. They have not attempted to balance it even once because it is not supposed to be. Gosh you’re clueless.

Is that the spawned weapon? Does ANet even have the letters Q and A in their alphabet?

yes its the spawned weapon and it must be broken or something..
a single skill that hits for 8k on heavy armor in PVP where you don’t have food/buffs etc etc and low ferocity.. something is wrong with that skill..
The guardian did not want to tell but he even says it hits 12k on most classes.
that’s insane for a PET!!!

heavy armor/light armor/medium armor makes absolutely zero difference when it comes to how much damage you take. Its about which amulet you are using, not what armor you have that determines how resilient you are.

Class weight does effect base armor.

A light armor with a soldiers amulet will be a loooooooot tankier than a heavy armor with zerker. The difference between the base armor is so small its irrelevant.

It’s roughly 300 stat points actually.

base lvl 80 exotic armor coat (draconic) 363
Equivalent lvl 80 exotic light armor coat(exalted)314

the base armor difference is exactly 49

Not even close to 300 difference. And not even close to make a meaningful difference in any situation.

So roughly 50 per armor piece? now let’s remember, we have 6 armor pieces…6*50…that’s 300. Right ! Thank you.

Well, hope that helps. Have to admit there usually is a lot of clipping with shoulders and shields on a charr (not with this set though). And of course there is tail clipping, but that can’t be helped.

On the plus side : you can hide the Big Ol’ Bomb in your character.

On the minus side : people tend to focus you more.

On a side note, where you did get that smiling hood? it looks fabulous and I’m sure I’ll be unable to get it but I have to ask.

viralthefrog.6130:

The problem with telling people what to do is that you are telling them what to do.
There’s a saying I picked up as my last job as a QA.
“A manager tells people what to do. A leader tells them how to do it.”
Instead of saying, “do this.”
Try, “this is the goal, and this is how you obtain it.”

The other issue being that during the game you don’t necessarily have the time to write a novel about it. And given how many PvE players are getting into PvP lately, you don’t want to do it every single game. Plus, if you write a LOT, they won’t even bother reading you (even if you write a lil’ bit sometimes they won’t read you either). Not to mention the possibility that they don’t comprehend english.

ArenaNet needs to create a tutorial and to fix leaderboards. The quicker the better but as ever, it won’t be done before months.

I’m only level 14 and can usually go thru a match and next to never die and probably get most points for the team. I’ve solo/small group roam in wvw since beta I get how PvP works.

Not dying and getting a lot of points doesn’t mean you’re helping. It could mean exactly the opposite. You should make it clear whether you’re talking about bases or score, btw. And even if you get a lot of bases, if they’re decapped quickly afterwards, it’s useless. So yeah.

Ill be honest I am very sick of seeing new players in Tournament solo que. Is it really that hard of a concept to not be a jerk and learn how to play Spvp before jumping into solo que and completely sucking? Besides soloque for tournaments I welcome new players.

You know, important things.

Time to wake up : most PvP players are alienated IRL and they play to get away. I can’t tell you the number of depressed players I’ve met in MMOs. If it’s not depression, it’s another psychological issue, in the end they’re insecure and that’s all that matters.

Some are fine, they just want to win above all.

Wow, I didn’t realize! Thanks for that tidbit of information!

Dear lord. I’m not surprised people are angry.

So maybe instead of being crybabies they should inform people of such things?
How do you just expect someone to know that?
You play most any other game with point caps, and the number of players will decrease the time it takes to cap. So it doesn’t seem like it would be an uncommon mistake for new players to make.

JonSnow.5610:

Yeah ok, you try to stay calm when losing a game because two people in your team insist on double stomping, double capping, double dying.

People get so upset when they lose, it’s hilarious.
You’re not going to win any more by getting upset.

I don’t know, you could start by reading the instructions when getting on a map. Or you could listen to the other players who tell you to go elsewhere. Or you could read the wiki. Or this . But you know, really, other than that : common sense. That’s how I expect people to know that. They cap with several people, they cap alone and then notice there’s no difference. That requires some genius observation skills, gotta admit.

Of course they’re not going to win if you don’t even know how the game works.

Getting the better score means nothing btw. Also that rune makes no sense, given your build.

Thanks for reading this Gaile and just to let you know if i die from heart attack becouse my pressure is way to high this days you and that dude Talon from support will be guilty.

Three things :

1) You didn’t tell the ticket number

2) You should get help, it is not healthy to care so much about a game

3) Saying such a thing is just awful. These people are doing their work and you would put the weight of your death on their shoulders? It’s not their fault you have high blood pressure. Not is it their fault if you seem to care more about Guild Wars 2 than you do about your own life. You said you have a job? You’re behaving like a child, though. Get a grip of yourself.
