Guild Wars 2

if they keep it what they have shown hammer will most likely dominant.

i would appreciate a GS GM trait rather then a ghostly

i agree, Adrenaline degen speed is to high

it should just stay up for 5s or 10s.

i can’t shadow step to a foe in the silverwastes which is a bit underneath and in range.

e. g. you are in one of these lanes on the upper side but you can not port to a foe which is in the mid of that lane. i don’t know what others did and how the abused it but this is just ridicilous.

and now add a general debuff on pve creatures so condis work there more efficient so we can finally play condis

i won’t have a problem if a weapon is used again within a new specilization. if it is done in a different way. e. g. the thief could become a shadowdancer dual wielding swords with whirl on it. dancing style animation.

the hp are to high for their power.

i’m not a fan of these hybrid stats i’d also prefer power. if condi would just be a bonus

It’s also affecting skill trainer. You can’t buy new traits instead the trainer is showing the ones you have

They say Q3. See page 4 http://www.kdbdw.com/bbs/download/193934.pdf?attachmentId=193934

i would say shiro fits good into it

glint (good)
malyx (bad)
dwarv (good)
shiro (bad)

they can’t do it. other things have higher priority

it is btw suggested till the early beta phase

i’d like to toggle out legendary effects, several other effects but hey my fps might get better so i’ll guess we keep it that way

unbelievable for these ugly feathered things.

seeking a mod to mod that out

sign – want them to swap weapons.

many times in this game you have to face a foe from the distance and sometimes melee so you should be able to choose an switch while in combat.

i agree and the warrior gs op should go with it as well.

What they name challenging is mostly annoying to me.

i agree. it’s always the boring same. no one plays it. its a small group if at all and then the rest gets taxied in.

i agree. the droprate is to low. you can buy a lot of keys but shovels are the problem.

sure those who have farmed it while the rate was higher wont care about it.

the trinity is: might, fury, vulnerability and professions that are easily able to do at least one on a regular basis.

If you did a dungeon or other content with perma fury and might you will see a difference and that difference is just to big.

I would limit fury to 5s. Might and vulnerabilty to 5 stacks. With that the game would be a bit more fair.

Currently the profession looks rather weak from a pve pov.

Hammer does not do that much damage. #2 Req. position for max damage which does not increase quality to me. Reasons: It makes gameplay or positioning more complex so it’s more focusing am i standing in the right way or should i go further away then on focusing on what the targeted foe does.

Mace with torment will be strong in PVP where you run a bit more and you keep moving a lot more. In PVE i say no chance in hell at least not as the damage weapon #1.

I know we haven’t seen all trait lines und new runes, sigils, etc.

I’ll guess it’s designed that way. However i agree. A workaround would be the change of weapons outside of combat manually.

My concerns are that the profession does not do enough damage. From what i’ve seen hammer ain’t that great. And sure you can argue and say it’s a ranged thing. And i know it is not a finished product.

Also mace and axe. In PVP it might be great to have torment on that weapon but in pve in melee range it is not that powerful.

Yet again some game mode discrepancies. Who would have thought that they occure?

in more then one way.

- buying (like in the current game, skill merchant)
- guesting i mean eventing
- personal story
- champions

i’d like to see power, precision, vitality.

zerker will never be dead for me. i’ll always use it

faster grenade speed + less damage

In concept art is a rev with dual swords. That would be cool except they screw the skills

this + grenade #1 AA

i hope it’s a new ascended armor set for crafting so it needs some time and not everyone will get it (fast).

Where is the revenant better then other professions?

I mean the warrior buffs in an offensive way, the guardian in a defensive. Whats the position of the revenant? We have mesmer and ranger doing decent damage at range. The elementalist can do a lot of damage at range and in melee and buff offensive like no one else…

Looks like the revenant will be on top of all cripple professions. Beating the mesmer without any access to a speed buff. I mean no shouts, no signets maybe no trait.

revenant = turtle profession

i’m not a fan of that either. you have to keep your enemies away to get the proper damage and that sucks.

Whats with melee vs ranged. Some content should been done ranged other in melee without a weapon switch it is impossible to do certain content. e. g. Champion Risen Drake Broodmother

If the vine event would should start every hour or at a fixed hour.
Usually people are not doing the events (capturing, defending) instead they use a taxi. Its also keeping me to much in that area. But thats just me.

Maybe turn it into a world event so it will be still done in the future.

Agree with #1

Having a new weapon and selling it as a specialization isn’t good enough. If all weapons would have got new skills thats a true specialization.

Due to that frustrating mechanic i deleted all my characters and the game

gl guys

It seems like those who decided these changes don’t know the game. Lets say i start a new charakter how should i now do my dialies?

And protection is rather useless in pve except killing champions alone. Where is it currently usefull? Game mode? Dungeon?

Protection is useful where there is damage to be mitigated. As such it can be necessary on PvE in pugs or harder content like fractals. Its a flat %33 damage decrease permanently with hammer, can’t get any better then that I think.

But these situations are rather rare. The best way to mitigated damage, now, and in pve, is to kill that foe fast. And therefore it’s the holy trinity: fury, might, vulnerabilty and professions that provide that boons more frequently then others and not the professions that add protection and/or regeneration.

The hammer AA attack speed is horrible in pve especially if you have players nearby. They simply steal your kill while you watch the animation.

And protection is rather useless in pve except killing champions alone. Where is it currently usefull? Game mode? Dungeon?

However it is great to pose with an awesome looking hammer in that manner.

The best would be changeable skills. So you could choose 1 out of 3 or 5.

The system would be ok if they would have added it as a new feature to the old system.

It would be perfect if you can choose from this new one or do it manually like in the old system.

1. Its physics on land and water are different. ie obstacles like a hill etc. Underwater they are trown at the target while on land you have to manually aim on the ground.

2. increase the attackspeed, attack the body like in underwater, reduce damage

k, thx, bye

I agree. It would make the game a bit easier because you have a pet for PVE so you won’t die that fast.

So a change in PVE would be ok for me.

Every other skill has auto attack so grenade kit simply deserves it as well. Its just a mess for players.

Grenade kit is just excluded from auto because they have trouble realising it. If they wouldnt, it would be already in.

I would overhaul the system and create 3 trait lines

- offensive
- hybrid/mix
- defensive

I would merge all those damage into one an put it into the offensive line and put the other traits into the lines where they fit the most.

How to get these traits: map completion, or boss/chamion kill, karma, gold, story, dungeon. , = or

With that system the whole trait environment gets simplified and you can get it the way you want to get those traits.

Another idea is
- offensive
- defensiv
- profession specified for more class uniquess.

Half the toughness gained. Add +15% damage to the trait (delete the other 15% damage trait) Combine with the 33% burning duration trait as one elite trait.

Pistols should be buffed as well.

My ideas:
Flame blast: 5 targets are hit.
Napalm: Turn it into an AOE field with a lot more damage so the recharge time of 30s is worth it.

10s is not good enough. Imagine that your pet is going elsewhere so 5s may be wasted.
20s/60s?

anyway we can play figures as much as we want

Rampage as one. Reload from 120 to 40. Many problems solved.

You asked for ideas (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/balance/Collaborative-Development-Ranger-Profession). Will there be an overhaul. Whats the status?

The real problem in PVE is the foe design. Behaviour (AI: flee, attack, call reinforcements, damage, conditions). As long as it will be physiscal damage there will always be physical damage professions played. Since when do you really want to face the condition damage problem? And this is as old as the game.

So go ahead discuss or tell how you want the professions to be. You already posted it here in the forms.

I choose professions by their effectivness. And so do many. At least in PVE. Sure you can say those professions are in a balance/or used overall. What if you add the played time to the professions. I bet warrior and guardian win.

Just one point or a question to that philosophy. What do you developers see as a weakness a warrior is having in PVE. And if you find one how crucial is or are those weaknesses.
