Wintersday patch and state of Necromancers

I dont know about other classes, but you only gave half the story about us engineers. Yes kits can use sigils, but argueably our best kit, grenades, got quite a big damage nerf to compensate. As an engineer we saw buffs with balanced nerfs this patch. Yea your pets are still borked (as the same with rangers), but you got some nice buffs to some of your skills from what I read (admittedly not very experienced with a necro.

Remember, the grass is always greener….

Yojack Build vs GS Glass Cannon

in Warrior

I’m using Yojack’s build now. Actually I found the most attractive part of this build is its flexibility. You can simply change some major traits to meet difference situation or play style. I didn’t play sPvP, but I use this build in solo, DE, WvW and Dungeons.

Most time i’m carrying sword/axe/warhorn in my backpack for my offhand. Using sword can easily stack 20+ bleeding and on enemy when i was alone. Axe can provide a good AOE to face crowd during the DE. Warhorn is mainly for dungeons and WvW imo. When you are not using Warhorn just change IX to VIII in tactics.

Also I’m considering to collect a set of Zerk gear, change some major traits and use axe for main hand, then this build can also be a direct damage based build.

Couldn’t agree more. Yojacks build expects you to have rampagers for sword, or berserkers gear for axe with 6 x runes of soldier to make shouts cleanse. I will have to say the warhorn is awesome with the conversion trait in all settings (especially for poison to regen). I started with his rampager build, but have recently switched to the berserker/axe combo as it is more versatile overall (imo).

Cheers!

Why do we have Magic Find?

Then don’t use it? The loss of runes for MF will not have a significant impact in pve.

Your full of kitten lol, my warrior with full MF, does about 10k with hundred blades, with full power,prec, and crit, i hit 25k consistently, im sure you can imagine what the other damage skills do also.

May I ask your build/gear? I have full zerkers with a glass cannon build and I never see these numbers. Thanks in advance!

To add to the convo, I do agree that it as a stat appears insulting and I have tried full MF gear/runes/food and none with minimal differences in my average loot gains when tested outside of dungeons in groups. Inside dungeons I have found a more noticeable difference in drop rates with the MF.

Cheers!

This game IS dying

I can’t really say whether the game is “dying” or not since I do not have access to number of concurrent users/logins/etc… and rarely do I care about that stuff if the game is fun. That being said, I login early AM and primetime EST every day to at least do dailies. In the past two weeks on my “FULL” server I have yet to see the temple of radiance in Malchor’s Leap be captured by players so I, and others, can zone complete. I have tried organizing players in the area but cannot get enought to be successfull. Ironically I can get any level FOTM group, but detest repeating small group content ad nauseum (reason I left WoW, Rift, SWOTR, etc…). Besides, running FOTM will not help me zone complete.

My guild consists of me at this point (having gone through 3 now that all dissipate). Regardless of the game’s population it is difficult to progress or achieve things with such low populations (at least from my perspective in the field both PVE and WvW) on a “FULL” server.

So I empathize with the OP due to getting similar feelings from my perspective. It’s a lonely world in Orr with alot of group events that the players base (at least on my server) seems to avoid. I hope that A-net can give players a reason to revisit these zones for those of us that did not already experience the content.

Cheers!

I purchased mine the same way as you and the character that is the main on my account whom I used to purchase it with got everything but access to the mistfire wolf elite. The response I got from support basically stated that it is a known issue and they are working on it. Hope they fix it.

Cheers!
