Focus wanted for speed buff... but gs/staff

@Staff users:
Are you kidding me? Chaos storm gives 3 seconds of swiftness and you have to wait until that boon comes. It’s useless for speed.

And staff users will answer: use backward phase retreat. Works 70% of time(at least for me), but when done properly I feel like accomplished mesmer.

To be honest, that’s an extremely annoying and daunting mechanic. Anet should not keep it in mind.

Adding more weapons in the future?

I would definitely like the MH gun. A gun mage is something i can’t say no against.

Mesmers get too much

Seriously, this is coming from an Engineer doing WvW and SPvP.

See, this is your problem. There’s nothing wrong with the mesmer. There is with engineers. And it’s this crying that leaves classes in shambles. Don’t mistake your own weakness for another class being OP. I’m really sorry for engineers, I shelved mine and I truly hope you’ll get the buffs you deserve and need.

Show us your Mesmer!

This interests me. o_o

Is there a staff version? o.o

For as far as I know, there isn’t. There isn’t a phantasm that uses a staff, so there would no model for it.

Hey, I could be wrong but are you a mesmer on the Far shiverpeaks server? You look awfully familiar, and maybe you recognize me too. We had a talk once where you said you disliked the tier 3 human cultural boots, and I found your weapon mesmer’ish. The name’s Alasah.

I use the full tier 3 armor, dyed in white, pink and purple. Money shortage(and a failed hope at getting sunrise) kept me from getting vision of the mists, so I’m sticking with the asura tier 3 greatsword for the time being.

Act 2 Time? Since we have Act 3...

How can you let Act 2 come out when Act 1 is bugged and can’t be experienced. I refer to the minidungeon event, The Forsaken Halls, the boss is bugged and cannot be completed.

Because this is not related to acts in any way and not even halloween related? Also, you might be doing something wrong.

NO, the final boss is invulnerable and doesn’t lose it even if you light all the torches. It’s like that on a lot of servers now.

A suggestion concerning the skins

in Halloween Event

It would be really really kind of you if at the end of the event chain, you would allow people to buy 1 skin out of the skins that currently drop out of the black lion chests. That would encourage people to play the event on multiple characters, increasing the playability. It would also stop the rightful critic people have, because let’s face it, people spend a lot of money/gold and get absolutely nothing in return, while some people are lucky in 1 chest. I don’t think that’s the spirit of Halloween, it’s an event we all should celebrate and we should all get a reward out of it. It would also stop the insane pricing thats already happening on the trading post, where people are selling the skins for absurd amounts of money, just because they are lucky. Kinda wondering why you think this is okay for the economy, but people farming orichalcum ore when it was spawning a lot wasn’t for example.

Any thoughts(and please don’t say it needs to stay as it is, just because you got lucky. An enormous amount of people didn’t).

22 Chests opened, nothing unique

Same, pretty disgusted here. Got nothing from the chests. I am never spending one coin again in this game for these kind of things. It’s just a general problem with this game, they rather have it all depend on luck: event skins, precursors, ..
It would have been a lot better to have the garantuee that by the end of the event chian, you can pick one skin and you can collect the other skins through these chest drops. I’d be fine with that. It would also encourage to do the event with all your characters, increasing the playability of the event. But nope, money desires came first. Disappointing.

Elementalist. The worst independent Profession

That’s more a problem with guardian than anything else. This game clearly isn’t meant to be played by passively tanking 8 mobs, no matter what class you play.

Warrior profession description disagrees. It clearly states: eating damage through heavy armor. There is not a single profession out there(mesmer does its best though) that has to put up such elaborate chains of skills to do simple things. Guardians might have it a bit too easy, other professions have it definitely too easy but ele has it too hard. That’s all what I wanted to say.

D/D is faster, S/D is just safer.

All you basically have to do is ring of fire > earthquake > signet of air > churning earth.

I use D/D and while in Orr, I always try to pull groups of at least 3 and depending on what they are, usually up to around 8. If I need to run around and collect mobs, I usually start out with burning speed to the first one, then drake’s breath, or the other way around if my last target is a little aways. I then ring of fire, switch to earth, earthquake, signet of air, churning earth – half way through churning earth’s cast switch to water, arcane wave, frost aura – churning earth casted. Follow up with frozen burst, dodge roll backwards/out and cone of cold. If they’re still alive, switch to air, ride the lightning (optional), updraft, shocking aura, switch to fire and burning speed back in. If they’re still alive (must be all veterans), drake’s breath, fire grab and begin to repeat initial rotation.

I use the 20% more damage to vulnerable foes while in water attunement, which is why I switch to water during churning. I also have vulnerability on arcane/signets, so all targets have 6 stacks. Additionally, I have 5 points in arcana, so I have fury when switching attunements, which makes churning usually crit, around 5k

For gear, I just run with pure magic find (meaning it could be even easier), so all power/precision/magic find. It’s offset by the fact I’m water/earth/arcana though.

Saddest thing is: on my guardian, I just keep on walking until I get the attention of all 8, put up my symbol and whirling wrath. Some auto-attacks to finish any survivors of and loot. Its just sickening. The state of Elementalist I mean.

The CoF Buff: My opinions

I don’t have issues with making things tougher. What I have an issue with, is making things so extremely tedious that skill goes out of the room and luck starts to turn its head(in the room after the bombs in COF, I got fire spawned on me, nothing I could do. This happened several times. The reason it spawned on me, was because mobs kept coming faster than we could handle. And we brought major dps). Also, magg just likes to run in fire and get killed, and if he lays in fire, forget ressing with the insane amount of mobs. It’s just pure luck if Magg decides to actually do the right thing. PLEASE PLEASE test your changes before you introduce them. The dungeon is just broken.

And it just isn’t worth it anymore. If it takes double as long to do a dungeon now, half the amount of tokens required to get everything. It takes too bloody long now. A dungeon might be fun the first 30 times you do it. Afterwards, let’s face it, it becomes a grind. Not to mention the amount of gold you lose in this game from repairs, waypoints, and whatnot. I’m not joining dungeons anymore for the time being, I can’t pay for the repairs anymore. Yes, I can’t pay for WvW with the zerging or the dungeons anymore. Some people don’t have the time to grind an entire day or play the TP in order to get money. Sometimes, I’m starting to wonder if the devs are aware ofo what they said in the manifesto.

Don’t want to sound like a nag, but I’ve been waiting for 12 days now to get help. Someone should please help. I need a serial code moved to another account, I’ve been in contact with Aiden and he says I should contact support. So please, I hope I get helped soon. Everything is in there, so it’s not the problem. I proved account names and serial codes and the reason what went wrong(Anet’s slipup actually, not blaming them anything but it’s why I need help). Could be that, based on the title, they think I don’t need help anymore(headstart is long gone) but my characters and stuff is on the old account. So I need that retail account moved, or ….
