Guild Wars 2

Ok thank much everybody

Thaddeus.4891:

Lol.

It seem that no, which is a bit sad. A Shatterer Weapon Set would look awesome.

Yeah, when i read the article about the new shatterer I was expecting that

Will the new shatterer drop ascended gear upon completion like Tequatl?

Sorry english is not my first language

Coldtart.4785:

As much as most eles (myself included) would be loath to see anything happen to it I think phoenix would need to be altered in any serious rework of the scepter. Currently it brings fantastic melee burst, but that goes against the ranged profile of the scepter and could potentially be too good if the rest of scepter was good (imagine if dagger had phoenix).

Assuming the rest of scepter’s skills can be brought up to a reasonable level I would say that phoenix would be better off as something similar to gun flame.

Lol no. Phoenix It’s the only skill on scepter very well disegned and possibly the real, if not the one, motivation to use scepter. Dont touch it at all

I’m trying to optimize my stat, on full ascended ecquipment.
I always been full berserker, but i saw metabattle says that at least 2 earrings should be assasins.
Since I dont have enough tokens for finish the collections to get them, I’m wondering:
Do will be worth if I change my berserker staff, and Dagger warhorn, to assasin?
Or, if it is not worth, how much dps I lose for be full zerk?
Is it negeglible?
Ty for answer

Make focus water 4 work like burning retreat but leaving an ice field insted fire field. Can be usede for evade, for blast an ice aura or as mobility tool

For me focus water 4 should be an “freezing burning retreat” working exactly like fire staff 4 but leaving an ice field… In this way we could use it defensively, evading and blasting it for frost aura, or as a mobility skill

Ragnarox.9601:

So you want fresh air to be new meta? srry ele is far too strong without another op build.

We just want an viable dps spec for the Ele… And, if arenanet will touch our difensive abiliy like they said, we deserve it. And no one here is asking for an op build, and i really can’t say a way for a dps Ele being op. Maybe you can explain me that

Grimreaper.5370:

They really should just scrap warhorn and replace it with a sword

Even if when hot was relased i dindt like the warhorn at all, mainly because i didnt played much pve, right by now i think it is the best offhand we have in pve, and paired with a Dagger it has really mucj to offer.
For pvp yes, it is scrap.

I really think scepter need something more than simply increase of numbers. Surely they will be welcome ,but they will not change nothing.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/Scepter-needs-more-than-damage/first#post5918770

Here some suggestion… I would like to see chilling pulses on shatterstone and earth 3 working as the same of warhorn 4 air, but insted pulling it could knock back (if the skill animation stay as it is, will be not hard to dodge, allowing counter play)

I would like so much the shatterstone change.
For earth 3 I really prefere if it will work in the same way of war horn 4, but insted pulling it will knok back people in the line.
For earth 2 I doubt a block will be ever a thing, maybe is more easy ask for a toughness improve of the barrier than a block for the attack.
Btw I agree with you that scepter need really something more than damage. Your change could actually be helpfull for it

Ayrilana.1396:

It’s not a scam. It may be overpriced for what you get but it’s far from being a scam.

For those who read the patch notes and instant-buy it on the tradepost without further notice, it is.

I’m one of them, sadly… My bad, but I will never buy nothing more form gem store

By the way i already said that is my fault had bought that, i dindt said they stole my money

Yes, I’m not like 24h on forum

Arenanet are you serious? 700gems for share a single item?
My fault that i havent read well before buy it, but arent 700gems too much for one single slot?
……..

Cynz.9437:

apharma.3741:

Something everyone is also forgetting:

The auto attacks need to not require a target to use otherwise any form of stealth class will shut it down very easily, especially if they keep the majority of the AoE as it is. Long and visible wind up which you’d have to be blind not to be able to walk out of.

Then air needs to stop being channeled because it follows you in stealth very well.

Well air actually air auto can say you only the direction where your target is, only with fire sigil proc you can see exactly where enemy is. And if a target is already stealthed it is useless. But im fine if air 1 will stop to track stealthed enemy if scepter will get something back

BlackBeard.2873:

Honestly, prepare yourself to be disappointed because it is all but guaranteed to happen.

Sadly, I’m sure you are right

Are very welcome buffs on every auto attack but please dont too much on scepter air 1

Please make air overload groung targeting, so we will not insta implode, as fresh air marauder, in the middle of a team fight. Thanks.
And yes please, some love to auto attacks, but be carefull to buff scepter air 1 .
Dagger air auto is balanced because require you stay melee, have a strong auto in air could be too much, since we have fresh air and It’s has 900 range

S/D fresh air Ele, the best build ever

Yashuoa.9527:

Merry Christmas to everyone.

Lets keep the thread going.

lucadiro.4519:

What do you guys think about it?
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/What-if-3/first#post5873677

Maybe there could be a trait or something else that makes it happen when you have a scepter equipped?

I do think that the weapon skills on scepter itself needs improvements first though, before an tempest spec overload mechanic, is changed for scepter.

They will never improve scepter skills.

Glenstorm.4059:

If bunkers disappeared tomorrow, burst Eles would still be kept out of the meta by Mesmers and Thieves, no?

Mesmers surely will be more usefull with portal, and thief will always have a superior mobility. But even in marauder amulet, taking tenpest means you can aura healing for a good amount. It can be worth or not to have a tempest in team, who know.
Who know if bunker will disappear, if thief or shatter mesemer will still be in meta with all those viper revenant around

Please, I’m not talking about 1v1 but tpvp, and even if we want to talk about 1v1 right by now SF fresh air sucks. Viper and power revenant eat you, condi reaper eat you, scrapper eat, a drud’s pet eat you…. Maybe with dragon hunter you can have chance to win if you play really flawless.
And just after HoT most of the people was smashing all the keyboard with know what was they doing, in the while you was playing a hold build in wich one you can fell conforted

Well It’s actually true that maybe is not 2min of work to do it, but I already said that this change is “the best option with the less possibile work”.
This doesnt mean that It’s easy to do, but mean It’s the easier one from all the suggestion make in this forum.
And I also think is the more usefull

Well that was what I meaning when i was talking about best option with les effort, because we all know arenanet…
While water fire and earth overloads should have the animation changed to make them ground target, air overload is perfect ad it is.
Its not a big work do it

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Reaper_-_Viper%27s_Scepter
I found this build that is similar at the mine.
I preferere warhorn over the staff since i fell it better for breack bar without losing the scepter’s AA bleed aplication.
Also use epidemic instead of blood is power is really helpfull to clear add in the gorseval’s fight

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/Bleed-and-chill-condi-duration-cap/first#post5873738

This is what i run as ecquip, and I use as traits lines reaper curses and blood magic, since burning on RS from soul reapering is in my opinion a dps lost in raids while blood magic is really nice to support your team if somone go downstat.
For example you can port away people downed from damaging ground in Vale Guardian’s fight, downed people doesnt lose life etc etc

+1 I agree with this

And what about earth sigil? There is right by now a better choise?

Right by now i have full ecquiped my condi reapers, mainly to have an alternative to my Ele and revenant in high lvls fractals and raids.
My ecquip is all ascended and it is:
Back rampager, rings and accesories sinistre, viper amulet, viper armor (2trapper runes 4nightmer) sinister scepter (bursting sigil) warhorn and Dagger viper (earth sigils).
With food and utility i reach 97% condi duration on bleeding and chill.
My question is, do I lose a considerable dps for that 3% missing? Since I never played condi I really dont know how that 3% can be important. (Actually is a bit less of 3%, i don’t remeber exactly)
And also, should i replace earth sigils with something else or is it good?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/What-if-3/first#post5873677

What about it?
Right by now its the best whay to have a dps spec with the less effort possibile from arenanet.

Yes I’m like sure they will dont do it, but really is the best way right by now for us to have a viable dps spec in pvp, with a the lower effort from arenanet.

Edit: I think fire overload should be as it is now, because, if not, it need to have an animation changed and also need a look on the spinning part.
While air overload doesnt need anything change to be ground targeting

What do you guys think about it?
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/elementalist/What-if-3/first#post5873677

How would be if the air overload will get an ranged ground targeting option? I mean can it will be an OPiness factor for already viable build like cele staff? Because in my opinion this could be give to a dps build like marauder scepter focus fresh air a chance to be viable, because right by now if you go as marauder Ele near a team fight you insta die and also your game get uninstalled. Actually SF fresh air has like 0 susistain in this meta, and even if hit a full dragon thoot Phoenix combo you are going to not kill anyone, due all this tankyness and protection spamming around. So there is 0 risk about a marauder build to be OP. But maybe it could buff too much cele builds (aka df and staff cele DS tempest).
What do you think about it?

p.s.: at january will be a balance patch so, if you guys think too this could be a good idea lets try to make arenanet listen us (lol). This will promote build diversity to the Ele classe, that right by now is only an heal protection spam bot

Hi all, I’m actually working for full ecquip my reaper with a combo of sinister/viper stats, for have an alternative class to do raids since i already have tempest and herald full ecquiped.
On my reaper I have viper armor with 4 rune of nightmer and 2 of trapper. Viper amulet, rings and accessories sinister. I miss the back and ascended weapons. I think i will also make a scepter viper (hoping to reach 100% bleeding and chill duration without sigil of malice, in the way to take bursting and earth sigils) and warhorn and Dagger with sinister stat. What I miss is wich stat choose for my back, actually Im using a zerk one.
Ty for the replies

Do someone know wich stat we will be avable to choose once we unlock it? Because the wiki doesnt say nothing

Im coloe blind and i have a lot of problem in this raid for this reason.
Well at least if you split in groups for do the color bosses you can at least follow your mates. And they spawn always in the same place. But with 10people attacking the boss i really can’t see the seekers and before realized the TP attack from the boss has an audio i had been teleported every time lol.

p.s.: and i can’t understand if a person is typing in squad chat or in say chat

lucadiro.4519:

There was made A LOT of post the only time that arenent said they would buff the scepter.
That buff was 1 stack of vulnerability on shatterstone.
Arenant dont read this forum, and even if they read they don’t care about our suggestion.
So i would suggest you to spend your time in better ways… Because every moment spent to think or write about the scepter is a waste of time. Sadly.
This is from someone that had always played scepter Ele…

They did change the Dragon Tooth to ground target, like many people suggested here yknow…

You know a lot of people dont see it as a buff?

Can someone tell me a name of heavy leggins that doesnt me look like a gay power ranger?
Because Im stuck on arah leggins since the game relase

SchmendrickTheMagician.8247:

It works most of the time for me depending on my timing and precisision. The bug seems to be that the real fire field is just the tiny starting patch of the skill, that then simply moves forward when the fire expands, instead of expanding itself. So you have to place phoenix in the middle part of the field before that part is even there.

So now do we have to choose to hit something with Phoenix or simply use it for stack might? Lol
Btw thank you for the info

Doggie.3184:

Would be nice if they changed the way the auto attacks functioned so it could be viable vs stealth targets. Main reason I don’t use it in pvp.

Actually air auto track stealthed enemy and with fire sigil you can know exactly where the enemy is.
But if you mean cleave the air hoping to hit something, well with auto you cant

Lets all be auramacerpunchingbags

SchmendrickTheMagician.8247:

Yeah it’s a shame that the only amulet that you can really pick, no matter what build you’re trying, is celestial.

Want a dps build? Marauder doesn’t have toughness.
Want a condi build? There’s no Dire stats in pvp or perplexity runes needed for condi ele.
Want a bunker build? Celestial works so much better than Soldier or Sentinel.
Want a support build? As you said, no healing power + thoughness/vitality amulet.

And also Dagger cele do more damage (burning+damage) than a marauder scepter

I have the same fellings laraley. I did always played scepter fresh air since fresh air trait was released.
I just switched to the revenant. It’s crazy the dps output (burst AND sustained damage) you can get… And in the while you are so tanky and it have the second best mobility in the game.
But It’s not only a revenant issue, every other dps classes (DH, crhonomancer, daredevil, reaper… But every old dps spec too) are simply better in everything, sustain… Burst… Sustained damage.

And well i don’t know if Phoenix has got a stealth nerf but, the few time i played since HoT came out, i felt it a lot less bursty…. Even land a full Phoenix lighting flash combo, with air swap and air 2 in the while, make me fell like I’m doing very low damage.

Scepter doesnt exist

SchmendrickTheMagician.8247:

Lightning Orb should chain into a second skill that lets you teleport to your Lightning Orb, giving warhorn some much needed mobility.

^ yes please

ReaperJr.5967:

Now I was thinking the issue might be because I have no fresh air, so remove water right? Where do I get my condi cleanses then?

The same pronlem i have to make scepter fresh air builds. Since i always mained SF I wanted to try SF marauder air water tempest but is too squiscy. So i tried earth air temepest with shout and soldier rune. It’s totaly good vs power spec and also the survability in team fight is not bad ty by stone heart and a lot of protection, but I dont have enought condi cleanse out of earth focus 4.
But I have to tell you, I was running only 2 shout (the heal and the earth one) since lighting flash and arcane shield/mist form are a must for me, maybe sometime I like to slot rebound just because Im tired to see FGS icon on my skill bar.
Maybe a cele build can drop another utility for another shout. But even that i dont want to try it. Im just too much bored of ddcele to play a more boring version of it. So Im spending my time into other classe.

Iohanna.4863:

1v1 you camp Earth attunement, and you CANNOT DIE. You don’t even need to move. Nothing beyond overwhelming numbers hurts you. Your Shouts do everything for you – healing, cleansing, protection, all shared with your allies. You just pop your Shouts + Earth cool-downs, auto-attack, and laugh as their full DPS build does absolutely nothing! In fact, they’re dying instead because I’m using Celestial gear so my attacks actually hurt.

Mate, if you sit in earth yours attacks dont hurt, even if you go full zerk. The only thing that can hurt is reflect things

I’m thinking water tempest earth cele is a very viable spec in pvp. But I also think the fact we cant swap attunement while overloading make this spec the most boring i ever played. And I also don’t see any reason for this, because constantly swap attunement for overlad element is more a cripple for you than a OPiness factor.
