uhm … that’d actually be pretty awesome and ok o.o

OH GOD NO LEAVE IT!! Q_Q

It has been 3 months since you guys screwed up our iWarden. I’m sure I don’t have to write a single sentence about what I am talking about.

3 godkitten months! You’d better reverted the “buff” but noooo! Everyone expected a hotfix! But then we waited … 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and soon the next big patch appears. Will you manage it to fix the warden? Will you? To be honest I don’t think you will… and that’s a tragicly poor result if players don’t think that a fix of a huge bug will come soon, if you ask me.

Red posts? Anywere? No, f’course not. Too busy to “fix” stuff like hobo sacks, hunting potions, iLeap … oh wait … nevermind.

I’m patient. But 3 months from now is just too long for such an important skill. It’s like warriors 100b sometimes just would deal 0 dmg, eles fire attunement wouldn’t come after switch, guards aegis wouldn’t work, etc, YOU GOT THE IDEA!

Not, dear A-Net, any … ANY news??

greez – Xyo

leap, warden, curtain

the unholy trinity.

You did not just response to youself, did you? O.O

Asking for it to work as intended is a lot?

I’m extremly (negative) surprised about how much everyone tries to defend the glitch. :/ It’s fun, but .. well it’s really just bugusing.

Why not a Rocket Gun? :o

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you

dear Engi, not a bit

Nothing stops him from binding the kesy differently on each weapon? I guess the game does …

If I’d start the game right now, I’d agree, but right now – no never!!

It can be reflected? Is there even a projectile??

I was saying that it has no negative effect on the affected targets like other quickness skills.

I think 100k-300k damage is quite ok for an elite…

I play ele myself and think its funny sometimes but to be honest, it’s a terrible overpowered exploit and it should be fixed…

Well it self cc’s you a bit. That’s not a big deal, since it gives you more distance. Other weapons and skills have too some self cc in other ways:

• Ranger sword aa sometimes won’t let you leave your target, prevents dodges, feels like a root
• Mesmer mantras are somehow a selfdaze to charge in combat
• Many skills are channeled and root yourself, ask an ele
• Most quickness skills have a downside (except TW – it’s awesome).

However the otherclasses can use allways a legendary, we can’t get a legendary kit. They should show obv. I also have to disagree with the toolbelt thing: I don’t want anymore uncustomizeable stuff for my engi. Hobos are enough.

Wappi.9315:

Here she is. Now if they could just fix the backpiece issue I would be really happy.

Pretty awesome look. What do you mean with the backpieces? I know about the hobosack problem, but what backitem do you want then? Don’t say Dwayna plz they’re ugly :O

ThiBash.5634:

Elementalists aren’t like other professions. They are like thieves.

I smiled a bit :P

I do agree. There are those aa, use special skill if required classes and those who work vice versa.

Well iWarden reflection is extremly large and safe, IF the iWarden isn’t up to his buggy starring contest …

Smoke screen absorbs projectiles, wich does only prevent damage but doesn’t return it to the caster.

btt: Yea it’s pretty stupid imo that it doesn’t reflect higher traveling projectiles. Traited focus should increase the heith (visual) of the wall. Why not? It’s pretty frustrating if you set a wall and anything flies over it.

Right now the best thing you can do is put the wall veeeery close to you since all projectiles are homing to you, so you can reflect them like this.

yes

Any news ANet? bump…

Yup but this is also just a general screenshot. The mobs are 80, they didn’t have full vulnerability nor did the engineer have full might stacks.

In general you hit for 6-7k in fotm. Just keep the grenade 2-4 on cd and don’t just spam bomb 1. Also toolbelt grenades. Keep vulnerability up.

Aretak.3826:

EG is easily the worst kit that offers nothing.

I don’t want you as an engineer in my team… snif

Seriously:

• stunbreaker with heal
• 2nd heal
• condicleanse for EVERYONE
• blastfinisher with tons of dmg

Is not worth taking for ONE UTILITY SLOT!? Man where do you live? Champion-Train-Ville?

How can the master race not have such a great skill? Ohhh right … they suck at engineering :P

btt: Yea it’s a good skill (even with the buggy visual appearance of the toolbelt skin, the pistols point to the sky -.-’’), however other engineer skills are often just better.

It is just a single target skill that gets outdamaged by 2 bombs / grenades. The active evade is ok tough, however I wouldn’t sacrifice a slot for an additional evade, especially not as an engineer who’s got tons of cc on other skills. You can just take the elixier gun instead, it has a heal+stunbreaker on toolbelt and combofinisher+heal+escape+dmg+condicleanse+swiftnessaoedmg on 2-5.

Just sayin :P

I’m talking about the flame and frost guys, or fire shaman and all that stuff you somethimes don’t want to touch. So rifle it seems eh?

Just rework the petcontrol in general. PvE, PvP, WvW it doesn’t matter. The pets aren’t following the player right now. You can’t “lure” them out of an aoe or something. They just move too fast, staying too far away from you when calling F3, they do skills we don’t want (bird speed buff, spider poison, etc), they feel like … like really stupid npcs.

F1: Auto Attack
F2: Skill 2
F2 F2: Skill 3
F2 F2 F2: Skill 4
F3: Dodge backwards
F3 F3: Dodge and come to me. Stay CLOSE to me.
F4 switch pets.

We need MORE control. F1-F4 atm are just a joke. I quit my ranger cuz of the uncontrolable pet >_>

Also if I hide my pet, it should stay hidden til i summon it → safe for skips.

depending on might buffs, vulnerability and conditions on the enemy, aswell your own bufffood:

4k – 9k per bomb 1 crit.

(Not my pic, but the owner will surely soon appear :P)

NO! This would be a nerf to the grenades! You would miss moving targets on long range due the auto target, like staff necro aa or iWarlock of the mesmer! Just spam “left right” and you outplayed engi … yea. We need the way it is right now. But …

digiowl.9620:

Simple fix: Allow players to hold down the button of a autoattack marked ground target skill, thus having it go off where the mouse pointer is on every recharge.

… this is the best idea so far! Make it happen ANet, this seems to be a good quality of life buff. Great idea!

Well if you have 1500 armor and increase it by 500 to 2000 you’ll take 25% less damage for example. It’s pretty ok imo, since healing “scales” with it too.
If you take less damage your heals will become more efficient. Same example: If you heal for 5000 you may take a hit for 5000 at 1500 armor. However with 2000 armor you’ll just take 3750 damage, but still heal for 5000 wich makes it stronger.

Formula for % reduction:
Old armor = A | New armor = B

100 / B * A = x% of the damage you now take instead of 100%.

example:
100 / 2000 * 1500 = 75% = -25% dmg.

They should fix their AI first, then F1-F4, after that lets talk about new fails … uhm pets i mean.

Just leave it 12 sec and let it stack with other buffs and refresh itself while passing again → 12 sec cap.

Hey everyone!

I’m quite new to the warrior and I can’t decide if I should take a rifle or a bow. I allways hear “rifle is better” but lately I’ve seen many warriors using a bow.

So … is it situational or are some ppl just … different

greez! ^^ & discuss!

Staff is pretty much everything you want in pve teamplay, dagger dagger is solo, focus offhand for reflection.

DD means you are fast, deal good damage, I personally do not like the playstyle but it seems to be the best solo equip.

Staff is what you almost must use in fotm / dungeons. Huge fields, simply awesome skills, much cc, reflection, tons of damage, fire and water fields, finishers, evades. I don’t think there is anything that can outdamage a glass cannon fire ele. The damage is truly amazing. Also it’s safe with up to 1200 range, but still stay in close combat for allies buffs.

I’ll be honest. I’ve leveled a necro to 80, played him condi and zerker, pve only, and they are worthless as condi and ok as zerker. However other classes bring more support into the group than the necro, true that. He just doesn’t feel unique. He’s missing something.

Are they? Really? I’d say no. Even Sylvari use guns and you can’t be more “nature” than them. I’d like to see a rifle and a whip on the rangers weapon list tbh.

Leshain.6720:

Male Mesmer here, straight and fabulous jus’ sayin.

Leshain.6720:

The character is based completely off of myself in real life design wise

create myself in a game world with all the purple fury

purple tank top

purple and magenta colors

It does feel extra unique being a male human mesmer though, i see a lot of female human, norn and tree people mesmers most of the time

Much purple, hanging out just with girls … straight male mesmer – NOPE

jokin’ ^^ btw awesome pic, sad the letters ruin it press CTRL+Shift+H for no HUD ;D

twin … swords? o.O

So you just have to stay online? No? So you just have to massslay enemies? Also no? Sadly this won’t work :/

You have to play it twice.

As thief you should go full zerk in PvE. Thief is NOT viable to play condi damage in PvE. The damage is just terrible compared to a zerker build. Full condition is allways a terrible idea in pve except for a few classes but eventhen zerker would have been the better option.

Btw, thief uses all the weapons, mainly Sword/Pistol + Dagger/Dagger

Cheer up folks!

I’ve just made the new back item and it shows through the hobo sacks!

Yup it does, it’s my first back item and the following things I’ve realizes about hobo sacks, shields and the new back item.

• The back item is not visible under the shield while its ooc on the back.
• The back item sticks ON the shield while draw the shield from the back. It then flies back to where the back item should be. Looks strange but not a big deal.
• The back item is visible under the rifle.
• The back item does not bug while drawing the rifle.

• The back item is invisible if you equip a hobo sack.
• The back item gets visible after the first skill used while carrying a hobo sack.
• The back item aswell the hobo sack are visible at the same time. It still looks great with those wings to be honest, since they are so big.

With those big wings it’s ok to have hobosacks. However All other back items are just … well … I would cry if I had another one Fix it plz!

PvE: It’s 100% berserker. Pistol + Shield / Heal Turret, Grenades, Bombs, Elixier Gun. Best dungeon / fotm setup in general. WvW is a different story I cannot talk about.

It’s not really awesome to overbuff yourself with might. Combofinishers are awesome for your team, however if you get to 25 stacks might yourself, others buffs are wasted (passive lost of damage).

In general grenades and bombs are the best thing to go in PvE. I understand if someone does not like grenades, but bombs are still awesome.

There are also so called SD-Builds wich are viable too in PvE. FT Is also “ok” however it’s more of the bottom of the engi kit tier list.

A single grenade may also hit 5 targets while the FT 1 only hits 3 enemies. Then we have the “vulnerability on crit” thing where grenades also heavily outclass the FT. They both have a blind, but grenades have also chill + a superior toolbelt skill whereas the FT has a great fire field but a kittenty toolbelt skill.

I don’t know all the engi traits by heart tbh. But What I can tell you is that for leveling you should use a rifle and bombs for sure. Rifle is great for range, short range and some cc and bombs simply deal tons of damage, aoe and have a great blind (4) and root (5). FT isn’t really the best engi kit tbh. Can’t help you much more right now :s

Are we talking about WvW?

The main question is: WvW or PvE?
However I really doubt that you get nearly 3500 condi dmg. A full condi equip with nourishment get up to 2k, with 25stacks might 2875. I guess it’s awesome for WvW but still crap for PvE due overwriting conditions. However you should also focus on condi duration instead of full dmg. It also helps chill, vulnerability, weakness and poison, or damaging conditions in general.

That’s why I simply use focus or maybe soon staff for swiftness ;o huehue leakedandalreadyremovedthread cough cough swiftnessonchaosarmor cough

Greatsword is awesome in open world but sucks at close combat and has no cleave. The sword auto attack is our highest dps we can personally do. So since we got no other cleaving weapon and the mesmer is all about weapon swap to resummon phants, we don’t really need something else than sword+offhand1 and sword+offhand2. IF there is much aoe trash, you can use sword focus + gs, while starting with GS 2-5 and then swap to sword. But in general, sword simply grants the highest damage and has invulnerability to stay melee (+sword offhand block / dodge / F4). You may ask now “why not just ranged with GS?”, that’s because you outrange the buffs from allies, so you will be missing tons of might stacks wich would make your sword in melee even more powerful.

And yea – full zerker ^^
