My point is it feels really lackluster. The AA is the main source of damage for staff, staff 2 and 4 are more of supporting. It’s low scaling damage doesn’t seem to offset the low heal at all. Wouldn’t it be nice if they just slightly increase the damage or make it do more damage the longer we hit the same target.
Is it just me or the damage of staff 1 is kinda pathetic. I know its meant to be a healing class bla bla but cmon, the heal on it is crap(1k healpower and only 140+ heal per tick), at least make the auto attack do 50% more damage of what it can do now.
I am running a mix build with 1.8k power and 1k healpower btw.
EDIT : Please do not confuse this post with a QQ or the Salty tears of a homeless guy. I have likely spent more $ in this game not because I want / need items. I spend money to support a game I enjoy. Something ANET has taken for granted. Stop thinking of every player as a cash generator.
Still doesn’t change the fact that you sound like someone who wants something but is unwilling to pay, thus QQ-ing.
Its a freaking cosmetic skin, they can model it in any way and just name it “xxx”-theme.
You don’t even need it to freaking use the glider.
I hate the new EtD change :/ Mallyx was designed to be a condition sponge for the team and able to spread the absorbed condis to the enemies.
It was a perfectly fun design except the bad heal/sustain. They literally decided not to buff the heal and just go with wiping the entire “condition sponge” idea off.
So we now have a pulsing torment and 10% stats gain. Ok.
One more thing, why does Empowering Misery seems like a half developed Consume conditions of Necro.
LOL, pets are literally useless since gw2 started. Unreliable pathing check, kittenty F2 with long cast time and misses 80% of the time check, totally useless in wvw mass fight check, hardly able to tank anything in end game content check, pretty sure there are more cons than pros for being the “main mechanic” of the ranger class. /puke
Truly I am just glad they didn’t make druid revolve around the pets, which is already considered a blessing imo.
GOD kitten IT! what is wrong with your servers, every single time I almost finish my story, it just have to disconnect me. I already retried the same freaking story instance 3 times!!!
effing rage.
I actually tried s/torch and mace/shield, seems great and pretty fun if you press your keys quickly. Enter zerk mode, sword f1, swap, shield stun + skull grinder. WooooYEAAAAAA
after the 5secs swap back to sword and spam that f1, should be able to release a 3rd burst before zerker expire.
Make it a 35hit combo which you stun and start grinding yo mace thru the skull, inflicting bleed Nd confusion per hit over 3 secs and blood spewing everywhere..
Just like happy tree friends insert music
Na na na na na, na nana na nana
I lol-ed the moment they showcase the blast gyro. Like seriously? One time usage that just knockbacks with a long cd, why not just equip a rifle then. Sneak gyro doesn’t hide itself and is actually telling others there is someone there, how is that even stealth any more.. potato logic.
Its like they just say “lets come up with a theme for scrapper, ok combo fields”. Everything they showcase is like combo field this combo field that but actual gameplay wise they are gonna suck in pvp. No one is going to stay in the fields obviously.
Honestly, you guys have enough other threads to complain about how much you hate the golem week. Don’t derail this one as well, just because a red name posted here.
We spam it because we care, and we want Anet to actually NOTICE it. Not just go with the attitude of “meh, its just a week. Ignore them”
Anet how about you stop TRYING to make your PVE players enter WvW while RUINING the actual WvW that we the so called “minority” only plays. This is one kittenty event seriously, unless you truely understands what the WvW community wants, don’t implement kitten to it. I rather it be dull like the current one than you guys messing the entire kitten up.
Im a fan of condi builds and was so excited to finally get to try out condi revenant, Sadly, the sustain for revenant is a joke :/
As a condi sponge in demon stance, its nice to see yourself spreading tons of conditions everywhere, but after popping heal and resistance over. Boom, self pwn. No idea is that suppose to be how revenant works as demon stance but its really dissapointing from my experience.
Don’t need pic to be convincing, just go try it out yourself. People should just stop asking for solo results when you are talking about venom SHARE. Solo isnt how it works duh.
As for “xxx skills is same as xxx build, its mehhh” mentality. No idea what you are expecting from thief, we can’t shoot rainbows even if you build it like some hipster 1 trap,1 signet,1 trick random build. If a build works, it works, simple.
lol @ you “thief is obviously not bleed”. Bleed and poison is all thiefs got! maybe you need to learn how thief is played.
and lol for posting a pic where you fighting in a zerg with probable food/utility buffs, banners, stacks of might and who knows what else. Post some numbers that can be achieved in solo play and all boons are sourced from yourself only. You can’t always have a zerg around…
You dense or something? The point of the pic is just proving OP saying venom is kitten wrong. And its meant to be just an example. And go read your own tooltip for spider venom’s dmg per stack, its normal to hit that number if you venom share it and focus on the same target even without might stack. You dont need a zerg, venom share has a cap of 5 duh.. thats why I said make use of the guards etc.
As for bleed, to me its just icing on the cake, i tried krait and givers + sigils, the duration isnt even good on it compare to just focus on poison after the condi change patch.
edit: Look at uglydan’s image, he did 1.7k easily and by his utility he was doing it alone. Go multiply it by 2-5 yourself.
Are you one of those YOLO thieves with 3-4 venoms+SR laying venoms on a foe lacking awareness then “SB#5-outtahere” and watch him melt then hides till venoms are back up?
Doesn’t matter how you kill your foes does it? A kill is a kill. Like I said, thieves are meant to be played cowardly. We are given stealth and escapes for a reason. And besides as a condi build, why bother going head on when you can just watch your target wither down on their own? Want a honourable fight go roll a warrior or guardian. Baiting your enemy’s heal then go full burst is like a normal strategy.
Truth is , I even once baited my foe to those veteran guard and venom share them, pretty sure it works.
Where is the unranked/ranked video or the WvW squad video :o??
I don’t do videos, and Im just a average player who is testing builds not even maining a thief. But I truly believe with Venom share is great for dueling and coordinated fights, even when alone make use of what we have. We are thieves, craftiness is our boon.
lol @ op, he doesn’t even get how a thief is being played.
Thieves are known for their burst, be it condi or power build
Every class has a way to go condi since they all have their own “main” condition like bleed/poison for necros and burn for engi/guardians. Thief’s is obviously not bleed unless you play like our dear OP here.
pic is from pve, but I done the same kitten in wvw as well. warrior went down in like 3 secs in 1v1.
Anet gave us venom share for a reason, if its really that bad they would had removed it.
