Love how everyone thinks that ranger is a bad class. In fact it never was.
Good personal dps, a ton of cc, partywide dps buffs, AoE healing, vuln, access to a lot of ultilities due to their pets, etc.
Wake up guys, the days of the old meta are over.

The reason most people think ranger is a bad class is mostly because of the people playing it generally being really bad

Its an amazing game, the combat is way more dynamic than GW2’s, and the combos require you to use pretty much all your skills instead of just spamming the most damaging one over and over like in GW2 (and summoner pets actually have great AI and you have full control over them, unlike ranger pets in some game…)
The only thing I don’t like about it is the theme its set in, the overly-sexist japanese anime setting which I’m not a fan of at all, but you can just skip all cutscenes and play a normal race, and its not that bad.

The only problem with it atm is that the content isn’t that hard.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOltINTrrBI), and doesn’t require you to actually use the great counter mechanics the game offers.
I haven’t played most of the max level 6 man dungeons yet tho, but I know the developers said there was gonna be way more challenging content in the future.

And regarding Black Desert, judging black desert by its current state honestly feels a bit weird, the game is still in development and doesn’t even have things like voice acting yet.

Condi engi gets 14k+ burning pretty frequently with much higher bleed damage along with access to confusion and poison. I’m going to unlock berserker to try it out regardless but in your video the bleed stacks were dropping pretty low and given that warrior only has access to burning and bleed you’d think those numbers would be higher. Looks fun regardless.

My rotation in the video is really bad, if you actually use a proper rotation without smoldering sigils you can easily keep up 4K+ bleeds like the pre-HoT condi warrior.
I just quickly recorded the video on the night the expansion released to show it to a friend.
I would come up with a proper rotation and get vipers gear etc, but I honestly can’t be kitten d logging in anymore, especially now that the Blade and Soul beta is up

Condi dps = sinister engi hands down

Sword/torch LB Warrior with the elite spec is higher condi DPS than sinister engi atm, even if bosses don’t stay in the bow F1 fire field for the entire duration

Are you sure about that? Assuming you build it optimally (ascended Viper’s armor/weapons, Sinister trinkets, good food etc.), how many stacks of burning/bleed can you roughly maintain on a boss?

With kitten rotation, pvp stat limits etc (I’m using full sinister with balthazar runes and sigils of smoldering because I didn’t want to spend 10g to buy the vipers amulet, and no condi damage/duration food).
In a PvE situation burns go well over 15k during the 15 second berserk period, and about 5k during the 15 second downtime.
It also has decent bleeds and direct damage.
DPS over a period of 30 seconds is about 15K in an “optimal group” (spotter, 25 might, etc), and over 20K in short fights.

I don’t play condi engi a lot, but from my experience its a lot lower dps than the new warrior elite spec

C+? kitten , wish you were my teacher. @Elomite, horrible attitude. You get out, no one likes a complainer.

It is a shame with the gold removal, but I like the change, makes me try other things. Plus it was to easy to get high amounts of gold. Try having a positive view on things without just getting angry

Yes because completely nerfing the only fun type of content in this game so nobody wants to do it anymore, just to get more people to buy the expansion is such a great idea, lets be positive about that!

“Moving liquid rewards to other types of content” is the biggest bullkitten I’ve ever heard, dungeons weren’t even the biggest source of gold anyways.
If they really wanted to balance the economy, they would remove liquid rewards from SW.
All they are doing is forcing F2Pers to buy the expansion, and kittening over everyone that actually payed for the game in the process.

Think about it, all the profit from SW comes from materials, which are useless to F2P accounts since they cant use the trading post, and dungeons give actual gold, so its more important for Anet to nerf them so they eliminate a source of income for people that didn’t buy the expansion, even tho dungeons have a much lower gold/h rate than SW.

I understand its a company, and their main purpose is to make money, but they show absolutely 0 respect to their paying costumers, and somehow people are even stupid enough to believe the kitten they are saying and whiteknight them on the forums.
Elomite is right in everything he says, and you kitten well know it, stop pretending he isn’t.

This community makes me cringe so hard

Again they stated it is to prevent clipping issues with other armors.

I do think anet knows they would make a lot of money off selling armor pieces instead of outfits, but don’t want to sell us something with bad clipping issues that would make us not be happy with then

Isn’t selling things that makes us not happy with them what Anet does all the time tho?

An expansion should in no way have a negative effect on old content, but Anet is basically just forcing everyone to buy the expansion by locking old content behind mastery gates and completely nerfing the rewards of old content into oblivion.
I bought the expansion, but I really wish I didn’t after seeing how Anet treats their customers.

Was messing around a bit with with the warrior elite spec, using a condi build instead of a power build its pretty kittening good.
The might upkeep is decent if you use strength sigils and lose out on a bit of DPS by going PS, but i’ve been using it instead of a second elementalist alongside a PS war and its a huge DPS gain over an ele/engi, especially in fractals.

Its a really bursty build, with 8-11k burn ticks in a solo setting for 15 seconds, and up to 17-18k-ish burns in a group. It also does reasonable amount of bleeds and direct damage, giving it a huge DPS output.
It works best if things die within the 15 second berserk period, but when berserk is on cooldown it still does decent bleeds/burns.

Build : http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vJAQNAsfTjMdQ3HW5B+dAnIWgCsjmQAIlpcE2d7g3Xbtd3C-TBSAABY8AAiZ/BsV+FwZAQa9BWr+DAHCg2UCGA4AY36W3dDM+4jP+4j3u7u7u7ubpAWUaE-e

Kicked in last fractal then sold in LFG

Got kicked from my arah path by 2 individuals a few weeks ago, sent a report with video evidence to Anet and a few days after that I didn’t see them online for about 3-4 days while they were online daily before that (used my block list to check their locations.)

I assume they got a 3 day suspension for their behavior, but a few days later when I looked at the arah LFG they were apparently at it again since there was a LFG saying “Dont buy from path thieves insert names”.

I think short suspensions aren’t enough in cases like this, since they apparently don’t scare people enough to stop them from griefing.
Our good “friend” that has been stealing paths for 3 years now, and even had his name turned into a term used for getting griefed is a great example of this

I personally really like being able to change builds, since it adds a lot more diversity and also a higher skill cap to simple classes like warrior, or already complicated classes like engi/ele.
I think we can all agree that dungeons are way too easy and the difficulty should be increased a lot, but this would only limit your possibilities of making easy content a bit interesting.

Think about blasting stealth or prestacking might for instance.
As an ele you can now quickly swap trough different weapons to blast fields, if you would be stuck on staff all the time all you have to do is place eruption and afk.

This would also greatly increase the amount of necros/rangers that get kicked since certain classes are more important then, which isn’t a good development because (well played) rangers are getting more and more accepted lately

Got kicked for swapping to d/d to blast stealth during a skip on ele, and once because i had signet of earth from HotW p2 still on my bar when I went into the water in arah p3

Also had a guard vote kick me because I was on (sword/axe frost spirit and spotter) ranger.
He told me “ranger is useless”, and then proceeded not to use stab or WoR anywhere himself, resulting in him getting kicked

By then, I calmly told them "How’s about you all check out her weapons before flaming me? Her legendary doesn’t even have any selected stats and her transmuted one is actually from TA and not zerker…

So, he has a transmuted weapon from TA, that means either rabid or rampager, which is a quasi-optimal choice for condi builds.
Alpha cleansing conditions doesn’t make it the best choice for that fight, but as far as I know Alpha’s condi cleanse is periodically which still allows for a reasonable mount of condition damage to be dealt before it gets cleansed, and there’s also a fair amount of other bosses where condi works.

I understand its annoying when people don’t respect your LFG, but if the boss went smoothly like you said then 99% of the time its just faster to go with it instead of making drama about it.

I also think its kinda funny that I always see you making pro-PHIW posts, and then act like an “elitist” in your own groups

Do you understand that those so called ‘’ bosses’’ was only 3 guards? and I’m pretty sure the final one is the Final Guard, stop judging and pulling/posting up useless threads that you don’t even know what you’re talking about. It’s beta. You’re only skinning the surface of the new mechanics of HoT, if you’re not enjoying the ‘’Beta (Not even Launched yet)’’ then go log off and play runescape, heard it was 3D go complain about how u want 4D.

The funny thing is that raids in Runescape are a lot more mechanically complex and challenging than what Anet presented us yesterday.
I also mentioned multiple times that I know that those 3 guards aren’t bosses, but that’s no reason for them to be brokenly easy.
We facerolled all 3 of them with 7 purely offensive geared elementalists, that kinda shows that they are brokenly easy.

I feel like you’re just another illiterate whiteknight, if you’re unable to read don’t comment.

Also for everyone making assumptions about the final boss, we got him to about 40% first time and then got oneshot by something and instantly booted.
There is no way to predict something like that if its literally your first time playing, the issue is not that its hard but that we’re not psychic.
When me and my friends just started playing this game and did AC for the first time we wiped to the spider queen, because we didn’t know how to position ourself to not get hit by the AoE, does this make spider queen a hard boss?
If you actually have 2 more tries to explore the mechanics this is just the same faceroll kitten than the rest of the game

we have half a dozen or so devs actively checking every thread and looking for feedback. In fact, this is the most dev activity I’ve ever seen on this subforum.

Which is exactly why a lot of people are giving feedback atm, in the hopes that devs actually do something with it, unlike our experiences in the past with issues left undressed for months or even years.

I don’t see why we shouldn’t be allowed to give feedback because its only a small part of the complete raid.
After all its still a part of the raid, and if at least 1/3 of the raid has boring mechanics that’s not good for the complete experience.

People skip 70% of all mobs in current dungeons because they are boring and barely have any mechanics, and forcing you to kill those trash mobs, instead of actually giving them cool mechanics and making them worth killing sounds kinda sketchy to me.

Its pretty obvious why nobody has beaten the final boss yet, and that has nothing to do with it having some kind of super hard mechanics, because those were average at best, it has more to do with being kicked from the instance immediately.
I’m sure people will be able to beat the “real boss” fairly easily when we can actually play the raids again, but I guess we will have to wait for that

Disapointed with raids

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: bladex.9502

bladex.9502

So trash mobs shouldn’t have any mechanics at all?

The only reason nobody beat the “REAL boss” because we had no chance at exploring its mechanics because we instantly got kicked from the instance.
But believe me, the health moved pretty fast with 7 elementalists, and if we didn’t get oneshot by some mechanic we had no clue about because it was literally our first time there we would have just facerolled it like any instanced PvE content already existing in gw2.

If this is what the raid content is gonna be like people will find efficient ways to do it a few days after release, and the class balance they want to achieve isn’t gonna be there.

Like I already said, this is only 1/3 of an actual raid wing, but why would they let us play this dull and boring part?
This is a huge letdown for me, and lots of other people as can be seen by reading the forums, and I honestly don’t understand the thought behind this

The raid content we got to play during this beta makes me believe it was designed in 1 afternoon.
Bosses barely have any mechanics, just constantly ticking damage to force you to run tank gear or take a healer, and stupid immunity against a certain type of damage.
It all felt very cheap to me, and not enjoyable at all.

I was really hyped for the so called “challenging group content”, this is not challenging, this is just forcing people to run certain types of gear to be able to faceroll.

On top of this the design of the bosses we faced today looked really lazy, and not at all like epic raid bosses

If they wanted “challenging group content” to be easier than the current dungeons, I guess they succeeded, but being able to duo said “challenging group content” on the first day of release kinda shows its not that challenging at all

I guess this is only a beta, and doesn’t show the full potential of the raids, but it kinda makes me wonder why they would use this dull set of mobs/bosses for a first impression.

Iris does have a point. If people post a video then others will just copy the strats instead of working it out themselves. That said i dont think many will upload that fast even if they complete it on friday evening.

This is more of a courtesy request to keep it unlisted until after the beta. I dont see whats wrong with that? Or am i completely insane?

So lets say I have to work on weekends so I don’t have time to play raids myself, or I simply don’t have enough friends to test them out.
If I was in that situation I would love to at least watch a video about it, which saves me tons of time, but I still get an idea of what the content will look like.

OP is basically asking to take away the pleasure for all those people, that are forced in that situation, because she isn’t able to ignore a video herself, which is optional, nobody is forcing her to click that video.
That’s pretty selfish imo

My friend works 10 hour/day shifts in an animal clinic, and when he comes home he has a wife and kids he has to spend time with.
But that doesn’t mean he isn’t equally excited for raids as we are, and nobody should make people like him wait till monday for their own selfish desires

So, 10s slower than the previous 38 seconds, that means there’s basically a 20% DPS loss.
How does that show that the meta will not be changing? 20% is a pretty big amount, which can be made up by swapping at least 1 ele out for a class like engi, which does in fact change the meta

Ranger is in a really good position as it is now, but I feel like other people have a hard time acknowledging it, which isn’t that strange factoring in that 75% of pug rangers are terrible

But the thing is, you actually just place a wall and “yolo tru phase 2 and 3”.
You’re explaining oneshotting lupi as if you’re soloing him on staff ele, which is an actual RNG fest.
Only slightly annoying thing occurring in the way you’re doing it is swarms still being alive after he phases, but you can simply fix that by swapping to GS just before he phases to clear those.

Soloing lupi with wallsploit is just faceroll, no matter how difficult you’re trying to make it sound with fancy descriptions

save you by placing the wall at the start of the phase and summoning your little buddies. It may not fully kill him but then you just continue with the tail end of phase 3.

This proves you never solod Lupi with a wall since the specialization patch without RNGesus, using the “place early” tactic.

Lupi can easily take longer than the duration of the wall until he does his AoE. And if the wall stops while his AoE is active (like in the middle), he will not get bursted into phase 3. Not to mention that he can easily target your “little buddies” and oneshot them, if you are not lucky.

I initially thought you were trolling, but I’m seriously starting to doubt that lol.
If you know anything about lupi’s mechanics its super easy to pull off, and phase 3 should be no problem at all, especially on guard.
Just practice more I guess, but its honestly pretty sad not being able to solo lupi with wallsploits

Replacing 1 of the eles with an engi kinda removes the need for a thief in places where it isn’t required to chain stealth.
Replacing that thief with a ranger could be really good, since ranger personal DPS is pretty much as high as thief, especially in short fights, and ranger also offers a lot of group support

Learn to play ele dude and you’ll see it’s way harder than playing warrior. On my first freaking pvp game playing warrior I won a 1v2. It’s never going to happen to someone playing ele for the first time.

I only play ele in pvp when there isn’t a warrior daily, but winning 1v2’s on cele d/d ele is a lot easier than on berserker warrior.
Ele has so many heals and sustain that you can just slowly damage others while barely losing health yourself, while on war you have a lot less passive heals and purely rely on killing enemies fast so they don’t kill you

Cele d/d as it is now has a super low skill cap, and you can basically stay alive by having a macro spam 12345, I wish anet would give a huge nerf to the passive healing, in exchange for more damage

I wonder if it will even be worth to take water over arcane in fights where there isn’t need for aurashare.
Your main source of DPS comes from fire attunement now, so swapping to water for the damage modifier prevents you from doing optimal damage for 10s
In an average group you will pretty much always have 5 boons for 10% extra damage, so the only damage modifier you lose is 10% while in water, but on the other hand you will gain DPS by not having to swap out of your fire attunement

And no, I never sold any path, but I will try to solo and sell p2 on my main today. Yesterday, I failed at Lupi, trying to oneshot, and today I try again with maxed out gear (I dropped 150 Gold for this).

And even if I’m not the best player in this game, trying to oneshot Lupi SOLO is still not easy, you have to know everything about phase 1 and 2, place the wall perfectly, max out your crit etc. and even then it might fail the os and you have to go thru phase 3. It’s not like press one button and win, not at all, in pugs, where he burns thru phase 1 and there are enough targets to ensure the oneshot with wall, yes, it’s very cheap, but solo, no.

I tried to solo oneshot Lupi yesterday for many hours and couldn’t pull it off… It is definately harder than doing fractals 50 as five in a decent PUG or anything like that.

I mean, the first boss in p2 can be perma reflected, that is real cheap, Lupi requires a perfectly set up wall in a second and 5 minutes of constant kiting and dodging, as solo. That is not cheap.

Good to see you carried on your anti-zerk tirade to the general discussion forum, I hope you will find people that agree with you here!
As for the site itself, I highly doubt pugs will take the effort to ask you to send your API key to check your gear.
If you wouldn’t join groups that ask for a specific build or gear type, you wouldn’t have to worry about this in the first place.

LFG Tool Quickly Going Down the Drain

As somebody who sells at least 5 dungeon paths a day, I agree that there has to be a selling section for the LFG tool, since all the dungeon selling LFGs between the people that are actually looking for a group to run the dungeon can be confusing.

But its a case of supply and demand, people are lazy and want to buy dungeon paths, I offer my service and sell my paths.
I would solo the dungeon anyways, because its more fun imo, and being able to get rewarded for the ability to solo 5 man content is nice.
Stop acting like Anet is giving us some kind of free ticket and completely supports it tho.
There are lots of active dungeon grievers that steal paths, me and many others have actively provided Anet with video evidence of it, and they aren’t gonna take any action because selling dungeons is not officially supported by them, and its your own risk.

If you don’t like it, ignore it, but let us keep doing what we enjoy.

So all this shows is you can solo the easiest boss in the path at range so she only do a poison spit every now and then.

It also shows he knows the mechanics of the boss/dungeon, unlike many players that kick low levels, but die on said boss because they simply don’t know what to do

But in a pug, I honestly would rather play it safe and ask for “meta” classes, because a bad ele does more damage than a bad ranger

Depends on how bad that ele is…if they spend more time down than up, that damage they are supposed to be to great at giving is almost nothing (with the exception of the lava font they drop sometimes if they took the right trait). Terrible ele are never a good addition to a PUG group, squishy almost always dropping…I’d rather have the ranger than that mess.

A bad ele that is down all the time isn’t gonna hinder my ability to carry the team’s DPS, while a longbow ranger that constantly knocks bosses out of my AoE’s is.
But yeah, bad players are never a good addition to your team, its just that I find that ele on average attracts better players than ranger, but that is purely something personal and that doesn’t mean that there aren’t horrible eles, and good rangers

I´m low ap and new so i´m a noob….because a lot of ap = elite.

We all know AP is a direct reflection of how good you will perform in a dungeon, even tho you can’t actually get AP trough dungeons, seems logical right!
But yeah, people are kittened, they just see other people demand certain things in their LFG and copy it without actually knowing why.

Sword/Axe is it...

Axe is good in niche situations if you are running phalanx strength with fried dumplings, and use axe 5 against multiple targets to be able to stack a big amount of might in a really short time.
Other than that mace offhand is superior

A well played ranger can easily replace a class within the meta comp, and you most likely won’t notice the difference at all, its even better in some places.
For instance, in a dungeon where there is no need for stealth skip, using a ranger instead of a thief will increase the overall DPS of the party.

The problem is that 95% of ranger players just camp longbow, and they create their own reputation that many players hate, and then complain that people hate rangers.
If I run with guildies or friends I wouldn’t give a kitten about them taking ranger instead of a “meta” class, I would even prefer it because spotter makes my own damage numbers higher hue.
But in a pug, I honestly would rather play it safe and ask for “meta” classes, because a bad ele does more damage than a bad ranger

Or they could just change the location of the source of his AoE projectiles, so it can’t be reflected from the source, only from the place of impact.
They could even put a 10 meter high invisible wall around the entire arena so you can place a reflect there, funny thing is that there’s actually a lot of invisible walls around the arena, just not at the specific point behind lupi.

There’s a lot of ways to fix it that wouldn’t affect the average player, but apparently anet’s only way to fix things is to make things unblockable (cough Malrona cough).

I find it funny that this is a “low-priority fix”, while its something that makes you completely trivialize an encounter that appears in 4 dungeon paths, but when there is a bug in pvp or in their beloved gemstore, there’s a patch within a few hours
