Guild Wars 2

What will u play if d/p shawdows will be unviable after HoT? We know for sure that after hot hits shawdow trait line and refuge will be garbage due to easy reveal by revenant or gyro plumber.

What is oyur gameplan for the future? Any ideas, theorycrafts?

Personally i ll try daredevil s/d, then revenant for sure.

I forsee s/d onlychoice after hot. Fist reason s/d has better utilities: teleport, condie removal, stealth from dagger. Secondly shawdow trait line will be garbage due to the fact, that enemy will always reveal you (revenant dragon or gyro reveal). Stealth rezer no longer will be viable. New meta will be daredevil s/d.

I would like to see vamp rune mist cooldown and some thief trait cooldowns. Also memser traits since iam switching from garbage to power.

I would love some solid dmg modifiers (or combat effecticness) as baseline, not a choice. Look at chronomancer: 25% movement speed 25% time reduction on movement impairign effects, 66% recharge on key skills like elite. So much battle effectivness increase for mesmer while thief gains nothing but silly dodge with small, unreliable dmg radius.

I guess its time to learn mesmer.

“Dust Strike: Reduced cast time from 1/2 second to 1/4 second.” -

I dont like it at all. It will never negate 2k dmg like small smokefield. And its much less usefull than staff “4” on revenant which heals and removes 2 conditions.

“Vault: Reduced initiative cost from 6 to 5. Reduced cast time from 1 second to 3/4 second. note: We’ve discussed leaving the initiative high and giving this ability an evade component at the beginning or end. Feel free to let us know what you think.”-

Evade seems to be a necessity. Shortening cast time does not fix a problem which is long flight time when player can not do anything and can be cought with “immob mid air bug” (effective 4 sec stun- player cant use any skill nor move).

Here is suggestion to fast consume milions of spirit shards within a minute. Make it possible to que a recipe any number of times. Just like in crafting. It would be amazing and second most favorite feature in hot.

ventari is imba strong for fractals and probably fro raids for similar reasons. It can permanently block projectiles which is very op. No more need for guardians in fractals

I would love small smokefield on staff and better dps on autoatack with some cool effect

revenant and mesmer. RTev is new and chronomancer is very IMBA!

staff voult is very dangerous to use. player get tons of dmg during long flight. Reventant had same problem with sword “3”. Long skill animation and inabllity to control char during that time forced developers to add evasion effect to the skill. Is it not same situation with voult?

I love those ideas:
“Staff
Staff Strike Chain Skills
I wish it inflicted a condition a little more in line with the evasion/control theme in the rest of the daredevil specialization. Maybe add something like projectile reflection or a short AoE protection to allies during the duration of the third skill?

I also think the animation needs tuning. Like most people I don’t think the staff should whirl in front of my characters hand, they should spin it like a martial artist.

Staff 4
This move feels very weak compared to everything else on staff. Like others I think a rework of this skill is needed.
It should place a long & narrow smoke field in front of your character kind of like some of the newer combo fields. It should start under your character and if you dodge forward, you should get a blast finisher with bound. This would keep in line with the defensive nature of the weapon and would give people access to stealth the way we’ve been asking.

- staff is weak- autoatack is terribad (compered to rev autoack staff), no smokefield on staff, “5” is medicore for dmg and medicore for mobility, it feels like skill for everything and for nothing at the same time.
- dmg on dodge is interesting but it works only when player dodges which is not reliable source of dmg but i guess it will pass to final version
- daredevil traits are very weak compered to chronomancer

I just hate all those full premades owning 500-0.

Blizzard in heroes of the storm just decided to not allow more than two player teams in their normal arena which is same as unranked arena in guild wars 2. Is it not high time its done same way in our beloved game?

- “Roiling Mists” – invocation trait is not working at all
- “charged Mists” does not grant might on wepaons skills, “impossible odds” skill, and “embrace the Darkness” elite. Might is granted no fast enough when double clicked on demon elite.
- “grasping shawdows” sword 5 is not puling downed enemies

Rev is cool in pvp, capeable of dueling every class exept mesmer

Aint it good idea to make Swindler Equilibrium (1sec cooldown steal on evade) gm trait by switching places with Upper hand?

Currently 1 spirit shard is worth around 1g (3g if very rich), but requires a lot of trading post. Will Heart of thorns bring faster way consume my 1 0 0 0 spirit shard bank? I dont feel like speding 100h for spirit shard convertion into gold.

You do realize that the time investment as much of the value, if not more, than the spirit shard investment, right? The easier it is, the less profit you will see.

Fully aware of the time consuming process. This is why i wrote those words and asked if HoT will bring faster way?

afking is a scam. But best chance for ban is reporting also for botting.

PVP feedback:
- too low dmg on all weapons – lowering hammer skills cast times by 50% would make rev ok.
- hammer nr.3 skill would be much more interesting if it would make char to return to the original place, but give posibility to return by clicking 3 for second time.
-Weak mobility- perma swiftness on swarf aint enough- hope Shiro stance allows blink ability.

Revenant is unplayable in pvp due to weak dmg. Maybe scale is off becsoue bull dmg autoatacks deal only 50% of any other class. For me Rev is currently unplayable.

u get free versetile ascended armor and weapon boxes from fractals, wvw, and pvp. One sohuldnt craft them.

Is magic find bonus from pvp event applied to boxes from reward trach and if so is it worth it to hoard boxes from pvp? Is loot from boxes rolled on opening or on claiming?

“Adjusted the health of NPCs in the Forest of Niflhel and Legacy of the Foefire.”:

One thing that i wish for that will never happen is the ability to record a game. Like you could go back and play everything again from each players perspective. I loved this feature back when i used to play competitive COD. One can dream.

Yea replay ability would be crazy sick. Currently there is only plays.tv to rewatch games, but it only shows your perspective.

All sd can do is use a lot sword return and count on stun combo. I thyink sd muct atack form huge distance utilitizing sword return and natural barriers.

- “Consume plasma” – mesmer’s stolen item grants all boons for 10 secs but stability for 2 secs and retailation for 3 instead of 10 secs.

I suggest implementing match history into the game to see who u played with and potentially interact with with later on. PvP games are so intense there is no time to say things to a guy. It owuld be great addition to a game.

HOOOOOOOORAYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Sizer says s/d is totally fine , very strong build and i agree with him, but u must take acrobatics in order to win. S/d didnt take any hit becouse of acrobatics. Acrobatics bacame even stronger than before thanks to extremly good automated defense while still returing 1 dodge for 2 executed. In solo que s/d is stronger becouse its better in 1v1 vs ele, but if u team up with mesmer with voice communication u can develop crushing atacks from stealth.

Stuck in match ready window

GRENADES IMBA DMG BUG! CMON! patch it already for queen’s god sake
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zOWZUywrrg&feature=youtu.be

Add match history, plz. It would be great if i could check who i played with and againt so i can talk to them and discuss.

Plz, kittens

Wouldnt it be great if you could see your vampirism rune vapor form cooldown to be more tactical? Or see when your haste trait (60sec cooldown) is ready to do some serius dmg instead of being wasted in random atack?

Added:
- Sometimes mesmer stolen iiem can be used only once despite having proper trait. Bug happans from time to time and makes me sad

Cynz.9437:

also, shadows embrace removes only 1 condi in 3 sec; before it used to remove 1 condi upon entering stealth and 1 condi when leaving it; now you actually have to sit and wait 3 sec before it even does anything :|

iam not sure u are right. Must test it myself

holy kitten, this might work! I think i ll try this in pve and pvp

I think i just got revived by killing parrot from pirate rune in pvp match. Not 100% sure it was the couse of revival. Is it balance decision or bug?

clicking any skill into thin air couses reveal.
