Just play a human female for the leather racial armor. Done
Unless Charrs talk silly like a certain game’s sneaky cat race, they are just as fat as norns thieves
That’s generally how condi thiefs burst since years ago tho. Except with the new poison on immobilise trait that kinda make sword a little more troll to fight against since they just spam dump condis unlike power build. Just bring your cleanse as a thief/Daredevil. Sigil of agility is a good especially in condi meta. Dodges removes condi trait from DD. Disengage and initiate on them before they do on you, control the fight or as mentioned above, dont fight at all. A drawn out fight against s/d condi is just.. braindead.
Still don’t really see the need for mounts unless there is mounted combat. Before you even mention that the upcoming mounts “could” fight, they will just be another silly broken AI ranger pet.
Sorry to say anet your “fix sets” are pretty boring tbh and without the old mix and match. Fashion wars 2 is dying down. I used to constantly buy transmutation gems back at first year because it was fun to mix our own armor skin, especially boring medium set that is almost all trench coat. I doubt I will throw in any money for your outfits.
Legendary spikes? More like Legendary pointless.
Looks pretty pointy to me though. Kappa
Same issue I have with my sleep man. I hate sleeping, I can’t eat/drink/work/game when I am asleep. Dang why can’t I just be awake 24/7/365
I see, I dont have many chars, only an engineer at lv 80, the rest are lowbies and so dont get a whole bunch of stuff. If you had to pick a class to compliment engineer, which one would it be (I still have the lvl 80 boost)
Also, are there any good builds for an engineer?
Engineers are fine. Build wise totally depends on what you want to play as. Supportive can go alchemy HGH for boons. To start learning WvW, get teamspeak/discord etc depending on what your server uses, join a commander’s squad. Learn to listen to commands while having your own judgement as well.
it’s definitely cheating and dirty. But this is the kind of abuse that is hard to catch. I doubt Anet is going to constant track individual ips to see who are these trolls.
tried it before and loved it. Easy 20k+ burst when focusing on 1 target even with no might
Anything that actually make use of spears/trident ON LAND. after 5 years..
definitely play through the main story > season2 > HoT. The story is great so far. In fact one of the best for an mmo out there.
Tbh the rest of the stuff is depending on how tryhard you want to achieve. Full end game gear? Raids. Just interesting in killing other players? sPvP/ WvW. Personally I hate unlocking 100% achievements etc in the games I play and I can just spend my entire free day purely wvw-ing without even bothering with legendaries/raids. You have to figure out what interest you in this game first. I’ve seen people committed to roleplaying in this age which is pretty rare nowadays.

wait there is going to be a new specialization? Is it even confirmed?
I had never crafted any legendaries before so about the new Eureka. Do we have to craft hypothesis first and actually salvage it? Or can we just skip it? Any expert mind explaining?
Singapore player here, the lagspikes are getting more and more frequent.
I actually just wish they would give Mace 1 a little more range. Kinda silly trying to melee someone to get that tiny bit of condi while the rest of the kit are actually more than melee range :/
This new armor Taimi is wearing.
Looks like the regular armor that scarlet was wearing o-o
Meanwhile all I wish for is a proper cape backpiece.
Seems like most of the people in here are QQing about DHs that wiped them in solo queue or hotjoins. Zerker amulet ^ ? Are you serious?
This is not competitive PvP. In coordinated team based play, DH are severely lacking. They are fun for wiping scrubs that are dumb enough to stack up and eat traps, that’s about it.
Top ESL teams have almost no interest in Dragonhunters. They’re running two revenants.
Dude, this thread is about how most people find the traps. Its call general feedbacks, leave your “revenant is more OP” to the revenant section? Why are you even bringing revenant up in here.
Because he’s a DH player :P
Even if he isn’t, it is still plain dumb of him kept trying to change the topic.
I dont mind if zerker dh doing 9k true shots, but instant down with 3 toolbar skills that has no risk at all = ????

DH’s traps are ridiculously strong, especially with zerkers. The other traps like ranger’s and thiefs are mostly utility and condition, meanwhile DH’s are burst.
Please nerf the damage its totally BS to walk into them and instant down.
Yes I am being salty and QQ-ing, but its facts that I am crying about.
Imo, staff 1 condition wear off way too fast. Thats why you felt like it doesn’t even exist. Guess anet’s point of view is shatter since they apply torment and confusion.
And still no news from dev.. cant even release your expansion’s stuff properly and still charge pre-orderers that much of a price. I didn’t pay 100bucks for these crappy HoT bugs.
They took ages to fix the trailblazer recipe even after numerous forum threads and in game asking anet staffs. And now this..
lol reset cooldown of skills will be wayyyyy OP af. oh wait.. it does

Not planning to paste link for build since what I like might not suit you anyway. But..
For power you would want domination and illusion trait line since both these 2 lines are mainly phantasm damage or shatter damage. Rending shatter ,Mental anguish, Shattered strength and Master of fragmentation if you like shattering, empowered illusion and phantasm haste(which is kinda meh) for the phantasm damage, Imagined burden for gs might stack.
Last trait line is up to you, but I suggest picking chronomancer line, the alacrity and resummon of phantasm after shatter is strong AF. You literally get your GS phantasm to attack twice after a shatter.
Utility wise. I just stick to my blink and decoy as usual. HoT maps have some nasty mobs that can be rather annoying. Some escapes are good.
Just play around with the trait and see what is good for you, there is no actual correct build imo. If it works, its all good.
Power build prolly is the standard gs + sword/pistol/sword. Zerker gears are like cookie cutter for pve/pvp/wvw. Just stay alive and do damage.
Condition gear wise always seems the same as any class, just mix and match to get your desire stats. I personally am just lazy and went full dire.
Learn to fight a tank? You sound like you are crying about a guardian having shelter blocks and the invulnerable elite.
They already nerfed the invis duration trait to 50%, which is good enough compare to the original 100%. Shield wise, save your skills when you see him channelling it?
(edited by lmaogg.7325)
No such thing as a shatter-free mesmer, unless you are in pve letting those staff clones AA and stacking that condition up. Purely phantasm only take too long to maintain your dps. Besides with the new chronomancer trait that resummon your phantasm once after its summon, you basically get another phantasm attack for free which is great burst.
It changes into the skin of the ascended weapon combo you’re changing it to. So for berserkers, it’ll go to that red skin. You’ll then have to reapply the skin that you want.
so we basically lose the new weapon skin and have to wardrobe them again huh?
Right now bleed,confusion and torment are just “DoTs” to me, even confusion damage got lowered down like 50% if not wrong. That’s why I find more conditions > number of stacks. As long as you can get that burn/poison the rest are just for the extra.
Burns OP, I normally just run p/p with rocket boots for the gap closer/escape/blast finisher and of course the toolbelt burn.
I took a long break and was surprised at the changes to conditions. I do remember bleed being the most powerful when I left. I wonder what happened to see it change.
They removed the 25stack cap for bleed so everyone can apply theirs. Used to be higher condition power overwriting the lower ones so there are people who will never have their bleeds applied at all. Thus the nerf the bleed damage, prolly for pve balancing sake.
the most awkward part is it just randomly leaps in the wrong direction even a target, after the first leap it just sometimes go haywire.
its AI is crap to begin with, whats the point of tagging someone in wvw, and the gyro either stays there/get stuck in terrain, or it just totally go full kitten by hitting someone else.
Doesn’t fear have a higher tick than chill, but isn’t even just unstackable, it’s unsustainable.
Forgot bout fear haha, but there are too little fears to be considered an actual condition to me, its just additional damage on a hard cc imo.
bleed got nerf and burn became stackable during the trait change patch before HoT.
Chill has the highest tick right now(if you are reaper) but is unstackable since it already has that 66% reduction, followed by burn.
From my experience, having more different conditions > number of stacks. But of course its always good to get that stack up after apply different condis.
Conditions are great for spike damage imo.
Cuz boobs, nuff said.
It’s getting real laggy these past few days, even with vpn it ain’t helping.
Of course you will still get ban, as long as you get tons of gold(500 cap/week if not wrong)
They will just refer to mail logs they wouldn’t even know the mailer is your friend or family member.
As long as you ain’t BUYING GOLD from them through the gem store conversion, they got all rights to ban you.
Trust me I got banned once for buying from 3rd party and I replied
“Thanks for noticing me senpai” on their email.
LOL return us the usual borderlands, thats the first step for wvw fix
Hammer currently is only very dominant in WvW,.
That is the entire point, I know devs aren’t really looking much into WvW to balance their class and if this skill isn’t really a problem for the two others game mode, it is absolutely ruining one and it Needs to be changed.
.
I get that, but many people here are asking for a nerf.
You can’t nerf something that’s not overpowered. With this I mean the total vision of the hammer. #2 is strong, but that doesnt make it a well designed weapon. The weapon is so incredibly standard it reminds me of very early game design.
Like seriously, look at the skills:
- #1: singlular auto attack with no variety
- #2: Long range aoe damage. The fact that it pulses 3 times is the most suprising..
- #3: A skill that could’ve been amazing, but left alone just as an evade and damage skill.
- #4: Slow casting projectile absorbtion skill. The only thing that sets this apart from early game design is that it moves with you.
- #5: Aoe stun with an immense casting time.
The graphic effects of these skills are so not in line with the peformance effects. They just made something flashy of a pile of garbage and gave it some guns to look pretty.
What needs to be done is a rework for literally all skills besides maybe the auto attack.
What? Strong but not overpowered? dude quit trying to defend it. I played revenant hammer myself and even I find it overpowered. Its a freaking 1200 range aoe nuke that does wayyyyy too much damage for a 2sec cooldown with a cost of literally nothing.
Hammer 1 is a simple AA that flies straight and not curve like arrow projectiles. Great aoe cleave. Hammer 3 is a freaking free dodge with a long invul window, not to mention it does good damage as well. These skills are in fact wonderful kits for hammer, except for hammer 2 which is totally BS.
And that’s the exact reason its so strong in spvp, right?
Might suggest you to read further than the first sentence. Might helps to understand the actual problem instead of ‘’so vvvveeerrryryyystrongweapon omg too op nerf plox’‘. That’s not how you balance in a game, nor how you should give feedback.
And I already gave my feedback regarding the other skills for hammers, they are great utilities. If everyone is making a fuss over that particular skill which is hammer2, obviously there is something wrong with it.
Stop blobbing. Then it will only hit you or someone your color.
Nothing to do with how many it hits, its about the ridiculous damage with low cooldown + cost

Maybe they replace EB this time? It’s overcrowded and misses PvE content.
Which means they killed the last wvw map as well.
RIP wvw 2012-2015/2016
As if developers will drop the dung on their own product.. Of cuz words like “getting better”, “look forward to it” are being used in the face of us consumers
Show us the actual improvements. New deserted borderlands are a total waste of our hdd storage space.
(edited by lmaogg.7325)
Overhaul again..? The current new maps are literally a deserted borderland. Hardly even see 20 peeps running on them -.- How about actually getting feedbacks and fix your current crappy stuff before adding new ones in.
My question? Why does everything great the revenant has (and dragonhunter, mesmer) to be nerfed in the ground to facilitate a minority of wvw and pvp players?
Dude, look at ranger forum. Rangers always get hit right in balls with nerfs despite having a bad main mechanic which is the pet. Right now all we asked for is a nerf to the most ridiculous hammer2. JUST A SINGLE SKILL.
Doing that much of a big aoe burst is obviously imbalance with 2sec cooldown.
Its always been “Either you nerf that single OP skill, or your simply buff every single crappy stuff”. Developers are just plain lazy so they choose the easy way out.
And besides Revenant legends are crap in practical usage other than glint and maybe shiro. They should be fixing them instead of making us relying on that one OP thing.
Revenant need more cleanses imo. Especially Mallyx.
Its currently the most broken skill, especially in wvw. 10-13k crits on a 2sec cooldown with just glint might stacks + zerkers.
Those who say NO to nerf are plainly just reluctant to let go of the OPness of it. Even I play a zerker hammer and I can’t stand it.
the best use of Staff AA would be to Sun spirit/sharpen edges and Sigil of earth (crits = bleeds)
each AA does 1-2 bleeds and burns with piercing .
staff as a weapon for direct damage is a no go its a support weapon at its core and using condis from traits indirectly makes it a effective AA attack.throw in refined toxics too for a poison every 10seconds too.
shall give it a try.
