the largest problem with elixer-gun is the utter lack of a game changer grandmaster trait.
flamethrower and grande kits are miles better than any other kit because of juggernaut and grenadier.

Flamethrower armor suggestions?

in Engineer

Posted by: szar.9054

szar.9054

well the choose is be vastly more tanky with valkyrie (we are a class with a massive hp to armor short fall) or be much less tanky with knight and have your primary damage stat, precision.

Since power is the same it comes down to a main stat you really need (vit) and a secondary that sucks(crit damage with low crit) or A major that you could do without (toughness) and a secondary that scales wonderfully with fast attacks (pre).

+1 full knight’s 3k armor, 18k hp, 3k attak, 48% crit, 7% crit damage

1 those ghost did it to themselves.
“Desperate to defend his land from advancing hordes of bestial charr, King Adelbern summoned the all-powerful Foefire to repel the invaders. But magic can be a double-edged sword—the Foefire burned both charr and human alike. While the charr corpses smoldered, the slain Ascalonians rose again, transformed by their king’s rage into ghostly protectors and charged with guarding the realm—forever. The once mighty kingdom became a haunted shadow of its former glory.”

Trouble finding groups

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: szar.9054

szar.9054

Ever since the multitude of changes to dungeons, I haven’t been able to get into any groups for TA explorable mode. I’m sure this is the case for many more dungeons. There is already a thread that is complaining about not having anyone doing Story Mode.

-Reduce the rewards people will be less inclined to play.
-Hold the token rewards for the end people will be less inclined to play (especially if there are multiple wipes and people start to leave; goodbye token rewards.)
-DR drastically reduces people’s will to do dungeons (especially the bugged form of DR.)
-Difficulty and learning curve for dungeons make finding groups harder.

One of the reasons for eliminating the holy trinity is to make finding groups easier. Dungeons are an important part of end gaming (because it’s one of the few forms of end gaming gw2 has to offer) and all of these changes are making finding a group much, much harder.

Has anyone else been having trouble finding explorable mode for other dungeons? If so, what do you think the reasons are for? If not, what advice could you give that would make finding groups easier?

yes, bugged or not it shouldn’t be like pulling teeth to find 5 peple with the crumb of skill to do an explorable

more material conversions

in Suggestions

Posted by: szar.9054

szar.9054

if I think it would do a lot of good for the game economy if we got more non random and random material conversions.

So instead of just the random mystic forge tier up recipe we could also have :
50 tier n mat+ 1 tier (n-1) mat + 5 tier (n-1) dust+5 philo stones= 250-50 tier (n-1) mat
250 x mat + 1 y mat +5 dust + 5 philo stones= 250-50 y mat

and professions could get
2 tier n mat + 1-5 tier n dust= 1 tier (n+1) mat -> just like jewelers have now
1 tier n mat + 1 tier n dust = 2 tier (n-1) mat
5 x fine mat + 1 dust= 5 y mat

for the certain recipes the professions get, any one profession could convert the common mats it uses and a unique set of 2 fine materials.
the only problems are cooking ingredients, since the tiers don’t matter as much or line up well, afaik, and lateral gems because of the number of combinations.

This will help the economy by adding a ‘pressure’ valve that would allow worthless junk mats to be funneled into high value mats and the value of all mats would in theory drift to a middling valve with a bit of rapid spiking to feed the market junkies.

Changing Elixirs in Combat.

Posted by: szar.9054

szar.9054

I see most opposed to the idea don’t understand the random nature of our toolbelt elixir skills.

We’re already penalised by losing weapon stats when we switch to a kit, our ‘buffs’ are largely random and we can’t benefit from weapon sigils while using kits.

I’m not saying to be able to use all buffs at once, but to use one of several with a shared cooldown.

The elixir kit I was thinking more of a 30 pointer for alchemy.

As for Szar, if I wanted one role I’d be playing with the panda’s. Seems you’d be more at home there

No i just know ho to build my spec to be versatile and not fall into the multi kit trap. Now if you stop wanting everything to fit into you liitle jack of all trades box; you might sit down and think about what is the intention of the random effects of elixers.

is power/precsision/toughness worth going? (pve)

in Engineer

Posted by: szar.9054

szar.9054

somehow i thought going for power/precsision/toughness was a good idea and thats why all my gear has these skills (knight).

i’ve got 1815 tougness right now which results in 2786 armor with 18k health.

sure ive got a big problem when i get conditions, but i can remove them pretty fast. nevertheless, I keep dying so often, i quite sure im doing something wrong here.
This is not the expected “tank” set i was hoping for. i tried so many build and somehow i refuse to believe that stacking toughness was worthless.

am i wrong? is toughness realy that worthless?

toughness is great, if you have some regen.

passive tank without passive regen just means you die very very slowly.

Dungeon Finder Sorely Needed

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: szar.9054

szar.9054

OK, lets make 1 point clear. When we say we need a Lfg tool we mean a tool to help find other players to form a group. A sever wide, possibly cross sever; tech premitting , list of people and the activities that they would like to do.

We are not expressly asking for a group finder that automatically tosses a group together inside an instance.

Im fairly certain that there is enough activity for most dungeons that forceful grouping can be delayed at least for a few months.

I see I’m not the only one that finds it odd that an enemy can be torched with this thing and only receive a single burn tick at the very end.

Seriously. Why is this thing not piling on burn damage? It’s a device that punishes poor life decisions by dispensing flesh-melting agony to anything in front of you!

because burn stacks with duration and a mob only has a single slot for burning? How hard is it to understand that the burn is a bonus, after you rip some fools face off.

As DaveK said, it makes 0 sense that it doesn’t add a burn effect.

Are we slow roasting our enemies with the flamethrower?

It does add burning, a very nice single tick. And since a mob can only ever have 1 stack of burning on it and only the guy with the most condition damage gets credit for it.
