Guild Wars 2

That should really count defences as well as attacks for the trait…

The problem is only universal for bads, don’t imply everyone has your problems.

LoreChief.8391:

Not all weapons have to be the same firstly, secondly – not all weapon skills do damage.

Just off the top of my head;

Mesmer weapon skills summon phantasms
Guardian Hammer throws up a barrier around the guardian to trap enemies inside
Elemenetalist Focus creates an anti-projectile barrier

I didn’t say damage in my post, I said “do something” Summoning a phantasm is doing something, as is a barrier.

Buffing your other skills isn’t a unique action worthy of a weapon skill, it’s a utility. Similar skill is that arcane power one, with the 5 crits. Useful but boring. Though utilities can gain extra effects, whereas [unless these 5 skills were auras] these wouldn’t have anything happen from just pressing them.

Well engi grenade 1 can’t even be autocast, since we are supposed to be the fiddliest class, these pretenders can’t have the most annoying mechanic to themselves!

I’m mainly voting rifle because balancing pistol mh/oh with the existing stuff sounds like a nightmare :p And tbh every other weapon has a mix of condi/power skills, so rifle should too.

I feel that our long range options are weaker than our short/mid range, rifle is just what the class needs, then you could get to the more fun stuff after that :p

A point though: Your 5 Skills : are like a utility, they don’t do anything on their own, and weapon skills aren’t like that.

The water 2 beam should heal along it’s beam.

water 5 could be changed to a sort of artillery attack like the healing mortar shells on the engi elite.

The damaging spells in water attunement tend to be ice themed. So the squirt gun would likely be a chargeable ice lance, similar in play to kill shot I’d imagine.

A nice starting point though.

Team support tends to imply that your team is keeping you safe so you can keep supporting them :p

Either way, staff does a lot of damage if you and your team can keep the target in place.

Eles can be very successful, you just have very little room for error.

laptops tend to have bad graphics cards don’t they?

If it keeps happening, join a party, makes it much easier iirc

The gemstore armour sets are cheaper than cultural Eurhetemec

I’m glad I got to 80 before this change, having to reach 30 before getting any traits would have made me give up.

A question, does it take any longer to set up the full zerker parties than just going in with anything? If so is it actually faster overall?

No idea really since I very rarely dungeon..

-5 levels +50% MF ? Maybe that’d work, though seems easily exploitable :p

Playing CM explorable at level 40 was pretty hard.

You earned the gold to buy the reward, there’s no difference. Either way you put in effort and got a reward.

The trophy analogy doesn’t really work since doing a dungeon isn’t any more special than doing champs/events/ any other game content.

Tbh one of the things I like about GW2 is how I can choose between different methods to get what I want.

I’ve had the most success with the engineer downed state, but only if you forced them to use their stabilities in the fight.

Downscaling needs to be harsher

They’re probably working on it, pretty tough to overhaul an entire damage system :p

Well there are lots of zones without a champ train, and tbh, even in queensdale you can do all the non-champ events if you’re exploring. Most of the map is untouched.

It already prioritises putting you with people on your own server, what’s the problem… If you’re part of a community, you should have people in that community in your friendslist / guild, again what’s the problem.

I need ambients to make my RTL work, just be more careful :p

It means you’ll have to walk in the zone, this will likely lead to more events actually being done hopefully

I don’t think anyone wants to eat toxic meat :p Ascended food… meh why not :p

Blackarps.1974:

It would kill the precursor economy and wouldn’t be fair to those who don’t/can’t login for the first few hours where precursors would drop significantly in price. A player shouldn’t be penalized or feel that way just because they weren’t online at a certain time.

coughLiving Storycough

I think it’d be a good reward for fishing parts of the personal story maybe? First part for racial and whole thing for class finisher.

I think in beta there was talk about this but it never panned out, shame really.

Considering that trait hunting is optional and the megaserver isn’t going to change gameplay, I’m not sure what you’re getting at.

Weapon swapping is totally separate from weapon equipping. You will not lose stacks for swapping.

Charr have 2 more capitals for the other 2 legions though right? And there’s another “pale tree” for sylvari out there somewhere…

OneManArmy.9732:

so…
you bought a lottery ticket
won a toy for cat, but you dont need it, coz you have a lot of toys/you dont have cat.
will anyone give you refund?
seriosly?

Your analogy doesn’t work, the cat toy would still be useful if you ever decided to get a cat.

Equivalent for OP is that you get a cat toy and all cats are being removed from the earth on apr 15.

Yep I’d send it back, no point being lame :p

OneManArmy.9732:

increase cooldown x4 times for any utility slot spell equipped into elite slot.

Tbh I’d go further, have each slot on the right have a 50% 100% 150% 200% cooldown (for example), so the order of your utilities is also build defining.

We tend to be able to use on-swap more effectively though, so I guess it balances out.

Untraversable? What. I still like doing these and you only need a couple of people, often soloable if you catch it near the spawn time.

If you’re helping your friends it will be making you way more money than wp costs.

Collision leads to massive server lag though, so it’s not so simple.

The dyes final effect is based on the material as well as the dye, not sure if there’s another dye that has the effect you’re looking for though.

A legendary cosmetic skill would be pretty cool, but really you put a lot of work in, and now those items are even more useful :P

Yeah the stories in sandbox games are better, but for a themepark gw2’s story is pretty good.

Can’t compare to things you personally have a stake in ofcourse :p

You already get all the traits for gold. What on earth is this thread.

The mad king backpiece will be in the wardrobe if I’m reading the system right.

Everyone that earnt a legendary has the right to use it however they see fit.

Just spend a bit of gold on some bags.

Your offhand legendary will have the legendary stat-switching ability, the skin won’t.

If you bought the 79 stones you were silly :p

You aren’t losing anything, you got to enjoy those dyes on those characters, and you paid for that privelege. Now things are changing you still get to enjoy the dyes on those characters, and you get a bunch of rewards. Don’t worry about it.

Since water/arcana are so important to resist the high burst damage, would the reduction in crit damage across the board be a buff for lower health classes?

I guess they didn’t want people zerging around in this sombre time.

The Krait may still be trying to revive the hybrid, now that they know it can be done, the toxins are still very useful to them. The witches probably want to continue the research.

An expansion is just an entire LS season in 1 patch.
