Arena.net, just remove necro from the game.

Unless there is some sort of special mechanic that requires something different, like condi in VG, its almost always 2 mes, 2 druid, 2 ps war, 4 dps which are almost always eles.

Which is sad since most ele’s I’ve seen are really bad and get downed the instant something happens in the fight and aren’t contributing much in terms of dps. Some eles even do lower dps than your average chrono.

Necros don’t get nerfed. They just get “minor bug fixes”.

So I think its epidemic thats gonna get “fixed” while power necro gets a small buff by reducing the GS aftercast by 0.03 seconds.

And Axe is getting a buff thats still too small to help that weapon in PVE

What classes are being chosen most for Raids?

Posted by: Walhalla.5473

Walhalla.5473

The biggest possible shake-up to warr, mes and druid (without a new expansion) would probably an increase of the buff cap to 10 targets, thereby reducing requirements for each class to one per raid.

Won’t happen soon since Anet stated that increasing the cap has currently technical reasons. But at least they aren’t against it anymore, because when raids started they didn’t want to do it, because of some “Supergroup” BS.

But I think that some guys at anet are working on a solution right now. Hope that they can increase the cap sooner than later.

I think “Lazarus” is infact disguised Kormir. She wants to steal our glory and get famous for savior of the world again.

One Reason why it can’t be Kormir.

1. Lazarus actually can kill things and isn’t a useless piece of kitten.

Well screw it, no point in me arguing a point for a game I feel passionate about, obviously the devs don’t care and the community is toxic to change.

Just re upped my account and will start doing World Quests to get this games version of a Power Great Sword Reaper ready for 5 mans and later Raids, where there is more than one viable tank and where Reapers aka Death Knights have a place in the META.

Get a clue ANet and some day my money might come back your way.

http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/proudmoore/Oldirtbeard/simple

There is more than one viable tank class but you won’t see it in PUGs as they try to optimize the group composition because you don’t know the players. Mesmers sacrifice less than other classes while tanking thats why they are optimal. viable != optimal.

There are rumors about the balance patch. If those rumors are true it will definitely change the meta.

I would love to see said rumors.

Same here. I really hope that we see some big change to kill that Mirror Comp ( like 10 man buff cap…. but that has some technical reasons, currently )

I suspect we’d just see more eles or thieves stacked, but at least that opens the option for sneaking revenant back into the meta as well as solidifying the place of a guardian or necromancer in there. Engineer simply needs help (and to be fair so does necro).

I’m also wishing for the day where power ranger is not complete garbage and they remove the pet tax on ranger power weapon coefficients and base damage values since ranger condi weapons pay no such tax (their condis do as much damage and DPS as anybody else).

For more than just Ele and Thief stacking, the balance team needs to work to see that this wouldn’t happen. If the dps builds of different classes are close enough then it shouldn’t be a problem and Anet should go for that.

Also raising the cap would allow for the second healer to be something different than Druid, like Auramancer or even Ventari Rev ( after some needed fixes xD ), you wouldn’t need a second chrono and a second PS and you can mix up the compositions a bit more.

To see how scaled down the world is you can go to Honor of the Waves. In the open world the land is really close to the Sanctuary. Like under 50 meters.

But if you go into the instance and can get a glimpse on the land you can see that the land in reality is much farther away than the open world would tell you. So you can get a glimpse on how big the areas must be.

>> Raid 2, NOT wing 4 << does have important lore. it’s not important to the story at hand, but it is valuable lore. It has effect on the World of Guild Wars 2, but not on the campaign against the dragons and secondary antagonists.

Sry to disappoint you but your mission’s gonna fail – hard…
Wing4…wing 4…wing 4 it is called!
Take a look at the lfg it has already begun.

And people are using a weird naming for the new raid bosses w4b3 w4b1 etc. I hope that will go away otherwise things are gonna be arkward in the future. " W27B2 1 PS "
They shouldn’t be so lazy to not include the name.

Also there is no wing 4. A wing is a part of a raid and a raid with one wing is a raid with no wing. And Bastion has no wings, its just a small raid with 4 bosses.

My group that actually killed this boss consisted of the following: 2 mesmers, 1 druid, 2 condi ps, 2 rangers, 3 necros. I will say we killed him 10s into enrage and that this mechanic is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. We only really got through it by using epi when Rigom was just dying so that we could get some actual ticks of damage on Guldhem. I personally think this is super dumb and should be changed. There is no reason you should be 100% barred from doing the fight with physical damage.

Whats funny with this is that Anet planned Karrde from Sabetha Fight, to be only vurnerable to conditions but decided against it since it would be no fun to make an Enemy immune to physical damage. Instead they did something clever. Karrde gets more condi damage than normal and power damage is well… normal.

Don’t know why Anet now decided to go for this route.

I think there is somethign missing with the Guldhem and Rigom Part, like even after killing Rigom over and over does not make Guldhem vurnerable to Power Damage.

He has a buff that states he is only vulnerable to condition damage, seems like working as intended.

Well i looked onto his buffs and saw one without Text, so I guess this is the “Only Condi” Buff. Thanks for clarification.

I think there is somethign missing with the Guldhem and Rigom Part, like even after killing Rigom over and over does not make Guldhem vurnerable to Power Damage.

What my Group did was to stand between the two and using CC on Rigom to keep him away like immobilize, pull or knockback and just pump every bit of damage on Guldhem so that even with fixationswitch Guldhem doesn’t kiss Rigom.

With this we could go to 33% ( surprise Rigom und Guldhem again ), but we were quite slow on this due to figuring out Stuff so the usual 500% Enrage happened.

What I saw is that the one who was fixated by Rigom got fixated by Guldhem soon so that never stood near Rigom.

I still wish we would have the Abaddon fractal… I’d love to see more human-gods into GW2, specially the fallen god, Abaddon.

Will never not be salted about that. I’ll never understand how people could vote for a stupid Reactor Fractal over something like literal Abaddon.

Well Anet would have shoehorned Scarlet in this fractal since the devs loved to include Scarlet in kittening everything.

Also the fall of Abbadon was a really epic moment in GW2 and back then Anet wasn’t really capable to do an epic moment justice especially not in a freaking fractal. In short it was very likely that the Abbadon fractal would have lead to massive disappointment.

Uhm what Konig said one year ago was a response to " Plants can’t be corrupted" from the OPs Post.

Jungle Dragon Question

in Lore

Posted by: Walhalla.5473

Walhalla.5473

It’s a retconned conversation about sylvari. During PS they already mention that sylvari are immune, but at the time they’re not ‘dragon minions’ yet, so people just assumed they were immune because they were plants.

Immunity because of plants didn’t made sense even back in 2012 because there were corrupted plants in the open world.

The immunity is not just simply ‘because of the pale tree’.
It’s the combined effort of Ventari and the Dream, and not even the Pale tree controls the Dream, she just acts as its vessel.

Sry but Ventari has nothing to do with the Sylvari’s immunity against dragon corruption. Like drax said, Dragon Corruption also involves imprinting the individuals mind with something similar to the Asimovian Laws of Robotics, a Tablet with a few words is not gonna change that. For the Tablet to have any influence over dragon minions, these laws must be purged from the minions mind otherwise the minion will still follow these laws.
Considering the dream, we still don’t know where the dream comes from, but we know that the dream is not unique to Sylvari and not every Sylvari is connected to it. ( Malyck )
So what is causing the immunity or to be more precice what has caused the Pale Tree to be free from Mordremoth? Its not the Dream since there is a Sylvari from another tree who isn’t a mordrem and its not the Tablet since the words on it can’t get rid off the mental corruption.

Also dragon minions aren’t really immune to further corruption by other Dragons which is shown by the Crucible of Eternity where the Inquest did this somehow, so its possible but well it requires some extra work it seems ( and well they even showed that you can get corrupted without being enslaved by the dragons )
Its likely that while possible its too much work for the dragons to be worth it, or well they wouldn’t gain control of the minion then, like for example Jormag would corrupt a branded but the new icebrood branded would still be under Kralkatorriks control

Well its more like he put in some truth into the messages mixed with a lot of propaganda and lies.

Also there are quite a few interesting letters you can find on the Bandit Crates ( where the bosses are ) and these letters are then going to your inventory so you can read them no matter where you are. He also contradicts himself on the letters which I find quite nice.

Hi.

With the new patch didn’t just nerfed the bandit bosses they also added new posters and a new achievement called “Open Letters”.

The first of these posters is at Beetletun at the dungeon entrance and what the poster says is really interesting. There also more of these posters in Kryta.

Only open spoiler if you either have the stuff or don’t mind getting the core information now


Caudecus is the Author of all of the posters. He just didn’t make the White Mantle public, he also says that he is the supreme leader, following with some anti-queen propaganda and on one poster he basically declares war on Kryta.
On the letters to the Bandits, he declares again that Lazarus is an imposter, Mursaat have forsaken them etc ( some letters even contradict each other which is nice xD ) and that he is the only rightful ruler of the Mantle and Kryta

They do ?

I must not see them because the bosses get torched faster than a US runner vs Usain Bolt.

Dungeons have bosses? I thought these things were just trashmobs with a bit more health.

To be serious. Most Dungeon Bosses are so undertuned that even without powercreep you could kill them within 10-15 seconds ( with the potential to kill them even faster ). You could take 4 people who never saw a dungeon into it, tell them what to do, what skill to activate when and then see the boss melt. I did it a few times, was hilarious.

DPS meters help raids be more accessible

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Walhalla.5473

Walhalla.5473

What do you want? Get kicked because of your class/low LIs or because you are actually bad?

Getting kicked because you are actually bad is at least reasonable because the kick comes in response of the performance rather than prejudice or the LI BS.

Right now when a group performs poorly, people start blaming the group and its likely that the group dissolves because of the poor performance and there is no information whats actually going on. Some might say that ignorance is bliss but the only effect that ignorance has on raid group now is LI bullcrap, class discrimination, players who don’t improve, drama and dissolving groups.
Getting information about the performance in the fight would help deal with quite a lot of this points. A lot of people would also get a shock ( like in “wait, I’m doing twice the damage on the DPS golem as on the actual fight wtf” ) and they can see that there is still room for improvement for them.

I would say DPS-Meter is not the right Word for what those Tools do. Combat Log would be more precice since the DPS Meters evolved over the Years of MMO Development that they measure much more ethan just DPS and this is true for even the more Basic DPS-Meters today. Things like warcraftlogs are even more detailed and have so much information that you can see when you die and why.

People here wanting DPS-Meter don’t just want to see DPS, they want something that can show you stuff like Boon and Buff uptime, Scholar uptime what mechanic hit you and how often etc etc. The Call for a DPS-Meter here is more or less a Call for a Combat Log that doesn’t suck.

No place for power necro in raid.

Posted by: Walhalla.5473

Walhalla.5473

Thing is, while the more HP and sustain is really helpful in Fractals, it means kitten in Raids. Why?

Simple. Bosses have Abilities that oneshot People, dealing % amount of damage from your health or having Attacks with very fast ticking Damage where even the necro will melt. And don’t forget that when you mess up mechanics or your Teammates are dead the extra HP doesn’t matter.

So yes it has better sustain but it really doesn’t matter in Raids. Compare the Power Necro to the PS Warrior who can not only dish out more Damage but also give your Group around 900 Points Might.

With the Way Power Necro is, the DPS should be around 28k- 30k

Is Braham becoming the next Logan?

in Living World

Posted by: Walhalla.5473

Walhalla.5473

I think the PC’s reaction might actually have been the wisest course. Braham was in an extremely angry mood and prepared to twist everything the PC said. Had the PC “showed spine”, what would have been accomplished? Braham wasn’t listening with an open mind. Attempting to administer a verbal smackdown at that point would have just widened the rift between them. It was a time to back off and wait for a better opportunity to try to have a reasonable conversation without interruptions by assorted packs of nasties. When a child throws a tantrum, a mature person, such as the PC, does not descend to his level no matter what hurtful and unjust accusations the child is hurling.

I think a verbal smackdown on Braham is coming but for this to be effective, the timing needs to be right. Braham didn’t listen to us and right now, where he scratched a bit of the tooth, he would turn even more deaf on what we have to say. So for the verbal smackdown he obviously deserves, he needs to be in a state where he just can’t put us on ignore. As you said, right now he is prepared to twist and turn everything we say into verbal knives he can burrow into us and he was prepared to deliver a verbal smackdown on us.

But what can happen that he can’t twist everything what we say? Simple. A lot of dead Norn as a consequence an epic fail that his assault on Jormag will turn into. And its the only thing that should happen when he tries to attack Jormag. a failed attempt.

Right now a win would make less sense than Scarlet and her Toxic Alliance. I mean Aesgir even got boosted by the Spirits of the Wild and also had the scroll and he just could break Jormags Tooth. There is no reason why Braham should be gifted by the Spirits of the Wild, he is acting against everything the 4 main Spirits stand for, so he’ll just have a bow and an army of joung Norn eager to fight and themselves legends and old Norn who want a death in Battle.

For the “spineless” Reaction. Someone on Reddit mentioned that the PC should have some sort of Survivors Guilt ( not being there with the wrecking of the Pact Fleet and then thinking " I should have been there with the others, if not for Caithe stealing the Egg I could have been there" ) and there should be some Sort of deep Wound cut by killing of his/hers closest Friends. ( There is no Way that having to kill one of your friends isn’t going to mess you up )

Considering this and combining the Fact that the bashing came from another one who the PC called a Friend after a life threatening Situation the PCs Reaction makes sense. And Brahams bashing also sounds a bit like he prepared for this. " Next Time mommakilling Commander comes up I’m kittenting on him/her"

Sadly Anet did a poor Job on showing us how these Things affect our Character so this Reaction in the last Missions comes out of the blue and was not expected.

Der Unsaubere? Really? Thats awful translation. I would translate that to " Der Unreine" because unclean and unrein both are Words that are related to Religions, which is fitting for the Krait especially for an Oratuss who goes heretic in the Eye of most of his People. And “unsauber” sounds more like he didn’t wash in a Year instead of having a Title that is related to Religions.

But well the german Translation was always bad or hilarious. Just take Iron Marches for an Example. In the Beginning it was calles “Eisensümpfe” in the Game, which doesn’T sound bad but now its called “Eisenmark”, srsly, that sounds like some old German Currency. I know Mark also has some territorial Meaning but this is something noone in Germany uses anymore. Mark is either a Name or a Currency and only a few think of it as a Territory.

Braham’s will lead a lot of Norn to their doom

And Baham would then blame us for the dead Norn. He blames us already for the death of Eir. ( not said but implied ). I mean back in HoT Braham wanted to rush into the Jungle to rescue Eir but got vetoed by the PC who wanted to get more Intel about the Jungle and make “Friends” with the Locals, which is closer to what Eir would have done than Brahams approach. But what Brahams doesn’t understand, is that the Fight against the Elder Dragons is not a Hunt, it is War and in a War you want as many Informations and Allies as possible to bring down your Foe.

So after the Death of Mordremoth, Braham had quite the Time to think about why Eir had to die and I would say, he came to the Conclusion " If we had done it my Way, she would have lived. kitten the Commander ", which he believed more and more.

He also wasn’t there at Eirs Funeral, where we honored her, which is weird. Perhaps this was a warning Sign?

Now we have a Norn who is extremely hostile towards us, in a completely unstable Condition, seeks Power ( which is the Dragon’s Path ) and now is in a Position where he can lead other Norn, at a Time where the last Thing he needs is to be in a Position where he is leading. To quote Trahearne " This won’t end well "

And yes, I do believe that Braham will blame us for the Disaster he is leading the Norn into and when he does there is one Thing that should be done for Tyria.

Perhaps Knut can influence a good Part of the Norn not to go with someone, who thinks that just because he did some cosmetic damage to a Tooth he can attack a Dragon. ( And he messed up so badly even the Crack Graphic is ugly. ).

I think overall it is a greta Episode. The new Map is beautiful and quite diverse.

The weakest Point of this Episode is the last Mission in the Cave. While having an RP-Walk thats gonna interrupted isn’t bad, throwing Elite Enemies at us is quite cheap, especially with the Spider Elite Group. And then the last Boss Fight. You are in a Cave with a lot of Adds a Charging Boss which can freeze you and both are immune to Damage. And there is no clue on how to kill these Things. I figured it out after trying to find Things on the Map, mousing over the Buffs ( even this gave no clue ) etc etc.
Its not very intuitive. Also, less Knockdown AOE’s please or at least don’t let them overlap so often. I got Sure-Shot-Seamus Vibes with the last half of the Fight, because you can get chain knocked down, freezed and knockdown again and SSS is one of the worst designed Fights ever in GW2.

Edit: Profanity Filter doesnt like a bit….cheap

He didnt even break the tooth, he just cracked it. The arrow didnt even go completely through. This must mean that he thinks he has the power but in the end it will fail him.

So another foreshadowing?
I mean we have one with Braham just Charging into this Icemonster group and getting Rox nearly killed. He didn’t even care about it and he didn’t listen after we called him out of it. He is a good Figher but right now he is not fit for leading. And with the Way he thinks right now, its a recipe for a Disaster.

Tequatl has never been nerfed, players were buffed (removing condition stacks in particular hit world bosses hard and most of them got HP buffs to compensate).

As far as I know, the HP Buff came when World Bosses became also crittable, giving them double the HP they had.

For the Stealth Nerfs, well I would like to know what stelth Nerfs Teq got. People are quick to talk about Stealth Nerf. Had one example in a Raid at Xera. The second Bloodstone Shard was protected by a Shield and Players had to stand on 3 Platforms ( each giving them a debuff, downing them at 10 Stacks ).
You could either rotate or just use Rebound to not get downed. And after a successful Rebound one Player was complaining that the Encounter got a Stealth Nerf where the debuff just chips of 80% instead of downing. Everyone else was saying otherwise and in another Try i even tested it. Got down even while having max HP and telling him. His answer " you were not full HP" despite the Fact that I had full HP. It took quite a while, a few early Rebounds and him getting downed with full HP before he accepted that the Encounter didn’t got a Stealth Nerf.

Its going to be a Disaster like the wrecking of the Pact Fleet by Mordremoth. With frozen Rox we have already seen that Things are going to get down with Braham. Its like a small foreshadowing to a Disaster waiting for him.

And he refused to listen to us about it. Either we’ll lose Rox because of it…or Braham will cause the level of deaths Eir caused back in the Edge of Destiny novel. Either way, he will feel the grief and pain of knowing how it feels to be the ‘leader’ for once.

The Level of Deaths Eir caused will be nothing against what Braham may cause. The Norn will follow him because he damaged the Tooth of Jormag. This won’t be a Fight, it will be a massacre.
Also with the Norn decimated, we are on the Way to fully accept Lazarus Offer to get an Army against the remaining Elder Dragons.

Walhalla.5473

People need to understand you can’t expect to kill the boss without training. Why ? Bcos theres a lot of mechanics involve and each players has a specific task or tasks to get the team through. And if one person make mistakes that person can cause a wipe and restart. everyone needs to be good enough not saying pro but good enough and get his task/s done. it’s not like other content in the game where you can just jump in and get things done. That’s too easy and no challenge and no fun in that.

Emm… no? Even vanilla wow never had such an absurd requirement, and this is one of the main reasons why raiding population here floating near 5%. Wiping while “training” just because one person made a mistake is an absolutely absurd idea.

Uhmm what? So getting to know the Boss better is now an absurd Requirement?

Do you also know what Requirements the vanilla Raids of WoW had? The requirements in GW2 are completely laughable in comparison.

I think the problem relies more on the untapped ‘Raiding’ market that only the EU so far has gotten into. There’s an EU general raiding/training initiative posted on Reddit looking for like-minded new and old raiders for training or group purposes. Right now, none of the major US guilds are actively posting this, but I bet they are always recruiting.

Players are the key to the accessibility.

Going deeper into this. There are two Raid Training Guilds I know of. First is the Raid Training Initiative or RTI and second is the Guild Death from Below or DFB and both are in EU. And on Reddit I only see Raid Training Threads for EU. I really don’t see much from NA. And I don’t think that there is no Demand of this in NA. Are there much less People on NA? Or why is it that I don’t see such Things from NA People? I’d like to see some Players to step up and found a Guild dedicated on Raid Training

Whatever is decide, bottom line I want that this huge unbreachable gap in dps between ele and other classes be lowered. No one should be capable of 50k dps, ever. I don’t care if it’s exclusive to organized grps or even if they’re downed half the time while managing it, since pugs can’t match it. Even dinosaurs agree this threshold should be group dps, not solo dps.

50k DPS? Noone is capable of doing 50k DPS. Not on the Target Golem with all Buffs or with realistic Buffs. And don’t need to talk about the actual Raid Scenario where Mechanics are lowering your DPS even more.

he meant 45k. tbh i think thats close enough and you shouldnt be so picky.

Well try to get 45k in a Raid. Not possible. If People want to argue than they should use the Numbers from Realistic Buffs and there we can talk about Gaps and Balance.

And while 38k are possible its not something you’d see normally I agree that there is a Need for DPS Build to be more in Line so they are closer to each other and that more Classes should have Build that are just for that: DPS and with it getting a possible DPS of around 30k or 32k. While other Classes should also have access to Support Builds where they can take in the Support Spots without having 3 Classes to rule them all.

The gap in DPS Builds right now isn’t small and Balance should do something about it.

Raiding after the first year

Yeah but again. The first Raid shouldn’t be so difficult that every Boss takes 600+ Wipes just to kill it, it should be there to get People comfortable into the Concept of Raiding, but in Future Anet should release really hard Raid Encounters where it takes really long to kill the Boss. ( But pls not due to some cheesy Things like RNG deciding which Mechanic comes now ). First Raid itself has the right difficulty, we just need more Raids that are more Challenging ( and a better PvE Balance :P )

But what really irritated me is the Fact that we don’t have Video Guides to every Boss. There are quite a lot on the first Wing but less on the second and well third Wing? The Guide on KC is nearly one Hour long ( srsly and I thought a 12 Min Guide on Gorse would be overkill ) and Xera has no Guide on the Boss Fight itself ( expect a German Guide which was put in one or two days after the first Kill ). The Guides that exist for Xera, are for different Tactics but there exist no real Guide for the Fight. ( Something I want to Change )

The last Guy who tried gave up after the trio Guide and is now Back to Guides for Festivals, JPs and Open World Stuff.
