Frequent enough topics about this r posted though.
Lets see, for me its mainly or only with the melee minions.
Either they dont fight at all, or either they start half way during a battle, or they start at the beginning.
I am hoping the september feature patch will fix this.
This happens with more classes’ traits where a certain % of some attribute is converted to another attribute. Bug or intentional, not every source that increases the first attribute tributes to the % increase, apparently.
The active Signet parts, with the traits that keeps the passive effect (Written in Stone) and the trait reduces signet cooldown.
Keeping the passive part also makes using Signet of Restoration more viable.
Signet of Fire is for high Burning dmg.
Again, i am not saying its a good build. I just wanted something different.
That to me seems acceptable for what i wanna do in PvE.
Last few days i have mostly played my Ranger and my Necro and at times when i use my heal skill for both these classes (Consume Conditions for Necro btw) i noticed seconds later health isnt increasing and the skill is not on cooldown. And i was pretty sure i clicked the heal skill. Clicking heal skill again works then.
Bug i dunno, a glitch more likely then. Why or how dunno either.
As has been said, the best (and only use) for Axe MH is for larger trash mobs.
Or perhaps, a Vet or Champ with normal foes nearby. Target the Vet or Champ.
I recently purchased the Home Portal Stone and it was a waste of 900gems. When used it ported me to Salma District and when I try’d to leave the instance to go to the bank/crafting station or the trading post to pick up items it ported me back to where I was originally. Further more you one get 1 stone instead of all my characters getting it.
This is exactly why it is a trash item.
It however does exactly what the description sais.
If more usefull merchants/npc’s were added to the home instance i would consider this item. But not now.
In the tooltip the duration is rounded up/down to the closest quarter of a second.
Examples ; 1.1 secs will show as 1 sec, 4.4 secs will show as 4.5 secs.
When using the burning skill only full secs r used, so 4.5 secs only does 4 secs of burning.
@OP; what skill(s) r showing wrong durations according to u?
Btw, the weapon with the Smoldering needs to be your active weapon.
I actually use Spitefull Removal for condition removal in PvE.
Usefull for larger weaker mobs that give conditions, imo.
Play how u like. I ended up with a vampiric/minion build (for PvE).
Lots of minions, Death Nova and some vampiric and minion traits.
So yes i use Bloodthirst, in combination with the trait that has minions steal/siphon health.
In a topic about that back then, there was a response from Anet that a change was being considered.
No promises though. So, no clue if it will ever be fixed.
For example most mini pets start at 1,000g (aka 1 platinum or simply 1k) …
Say what??
I trashed some whites a couple of years ago :s
Had to think about that a bit (been a while since i played GW1), but, the value of gold coin in GW1 is not the same as in GW2.
In GW1 u start with gold coin, and 1000 gold coins is 1 platinum coin.
And 1k became short for 1 platinum coin.
So, 1k gold coins in GW1 is not much really.
There used to be another topic about this (long ago), wich i havent found again yet here.
That topic mentioned possible descendants from some GW1 henchmen in Divinity Reach.
EDIT: Searched and found them, north east of Maiden’s Whisper Poi in Rurikton.
Lyren Sandor -> Reyna
Aleria Baptiste -> Alesia
Kenden Baruch -> Stefan
Aquila Elek -> Orion
@Realist…hmm..since u recommend Ranger, i now have to say that imho that is the worst GW1 class to play.
Becos, if i remember the argument, anyting a Ranger can do another GW1 class can do it better.
@OP, dont worry about the Sunspear thing.
If u start playing the Nightfall campaign u automatically progress the Sunspear title track/rank. With a high enough Sunspear rank u can use Sunspear skills!
If your main intent to play GW1 is to get HoM points for GW2, and play GW2 then.
The best advice i can give is; do not go for 50 points. Stop at 30.
Getting all 50 will be very time consuming and/or prolly also expensive (ingame gold).
I recommend getting Heroes quick AND improving/upgrading them.
The burning icon SHOULD be showing some sort of duration information
When u hover yer mouse cursor over the Burning icon on the foe, it shows a tiny window with some info including the remaining burning duration.
Sidenote; I noticed a bug in the Burning info in the Skill description.
The mentioned total dmg is duration rounded down to whole seconds.
Unless, the game can only apply whole seconds of Burning.
But if so, that would mean for example increasing a 1sec burn to 1.5 secs would be pointless since only 1sec would be applied then.
I talked with AuTomA in GW2.
HoM reward calculator works according to AuTomA.
So its a GW2/GW1 linking issue.
Wich i think i figured out when i asked if the same email address (=account name) for both GW1 and GW2 was used, wich wasnt.
Changing any account data in GW1 is disabled (since launch of GW2)
So a support ticket AuTomA made for changing the GW1 email address (into the GW2 one).
Have a sup bloodlust on my Ele’s staff
I caved and put one on my Ele’s Trident, to not loose stacks when going underwater.
What did work;
As for changing(unequipping) weapons, when underwater i can unequip the staff and not loose stacks. When on land i can unequip the trident and not loose stacks.
When you go underwater you switch weapons. The release notes say that when you switch weapons you lose the stacks previously built up.
No and No.
When u go underwater u ‘swap’ to your underwater weapons.
According to the 15 April patch notes, u loose stacks when u ‘unequip’ the weapon with the stacking sigil.
‘swapping’ is NOT ‘unequipping’
Dueling in PvE….thats just a matter of time before a hack surfices where any player can get killed by another in PvE. A certain South Park episode comes to mind.
So nty, play WvW and PvP.
Was killing some Vets, Downed suddenly, before i could rally suddenly Defeated.
Checked combat log, somthing called Shadowfall hit over 130k dmg, twice till i was death.
Prolly happened more times, since i noticed some animation in the spot my corpse was.
I noticed this with ranged weapons aswell.
With ranger arrows and my ele staff’s fireball for example.
When the red bar under the skill just turns red (indicating i am just out of range), i could still shoot an arrow or a fireball. They would travel in the direction of the foe and still hit the foe.
The only improvement to ground targeting i like to see is a toggle option added to the Options menu that casts the ground targeting skill right on top of your selected foe (by double clicking the skill).
What’s terrible is to require a 100% completion of Frostgorge to get an Adept trait… That’s silly. Requiring higher level content to get a trait you should have available at level 30 is far worse than unlocking some traits without access to the trait screen.
Completing a lvl70-80 zone for an Adept trait ?!
I am speachless….
The megaserver system makes reporting and displaying the state of your destination map accurately quite impossible. With this in mind, we’ve decided to disable reporting of world state across maps entirely.
As a player, this will impact you in the following ways:
Waypoints—All contestable waypoints on any map you’re not currently playing in will always appear contested. When you arrive in the map, you will be able to travel to these waypoints pending their local status.
In combination with Megaserver i suppose i get why this is.
But objectively its utter kitten to have so many contested waypoints.
More contested waypoints is NOT game improvement.
Never liked the concept of contested waypoints anyway.
So, Anet, either remove the concept of contested waypoints, OR make all waypoint travel free.
The first window that opens after you press the default H button should be Equipement one. After that there should be an option within this tab to open the Wardrobe and Dyes sub-tabs. As it is now we have a huge window with a lot of space and nothing in it.
See the updated pic for morte info.
Also, as I posted earlier, the renaming of transmutated items should be changed/fixed.
Imagine I want to reskin the Mad Memoires with Desert Rose. I gonna end up with book on my back called like a flower.. other transmutations are even more hilarious.
Just think about it, take Jormag’s Breath. I like it’s stats but I want it to have another skin, Fiery Dragon Sword/Firebringer. I gonna end up with a flame sword named by an Ice Elder Dragon..
