Guild Wars 2

Now I really like the burning concept of the guardian, so I was happy when they buffed it. I was thinking about focusing on condition damage and burning, but I’m a bit worried about my precision. With carrion gear I will have no precision, but I also really want the extra vitality because Guardians HP is so low and I`m not very good at dodging What do you think? Is carrion okay or should I just take sinister? Is there another alternative besides Zerker? I played zerker for years on every alt and I`m just bored of it.
I play mainly PvE (Dungeons, LS, map completion, SW, HoT in the future) with my Guard.

Thanks!

Can someone explain me in an easy way how to craft sinister gear and weapons?

New dungeons or raids or something similar instanced would be really great but I’m sure that HoT won’t have anything in this direction, otherwhsie they would have hyped it like they hype everything. So don’t get your hopes up. It’s a shame, they have the best combat mechanics I have seen in any MMO ever. But instead pushing the combat to the limit with new and really hard raids/dungeons we get gliders and mushrooms. Or world bosses where we just click 11111111111

Amazon is way too optimistic, I think we will get a feature patch with the new trait system on the third anniversary (late august) and HoT in november or early december (christmas).

99% of the time I use PS warr so I will use tactics (phalanx strength ofc), strength (dps, forceful greatsword) and discipline (fast hands, warr sprint), so the elite spec must be really powerful and cool for me to drop one of those trait lines. That sucks.

The Chrono sounds so good, now I really want to play my mesmer. I just leveled it to 80 with tomes. Will Assassin Armor /Strength runes be still viable in HoT (PvE and WvW roam) or should I just go with Condition, now that things like torment etc look really cool to use.

WTH? I didn’t even notice that. Why don’t they give the ricochet binus to the pistol without a trait? That would be a nice buff, instead of nerfing a build that already is bad. I really begin to hate the new system and I hope HoT is still far away.

See BogOtter`s interview for source. With the new game mode and mechanics, also specializations, I really thought that we will be able to save our builds It just blows my mind that we will get gliders before such a major QoL update.

I don’t really care about camera options but some other QoL updates like a build saver etc would be really nice

Um, D/D isn’t ranged.

Visit metabattle.com. Do be warned that Thief is probably the worst solo PvE profession in the game.

lolwut? I rushed through solo pve with using dual pistols’ unload only. Easymode for sure.

Whats so bad about #3? Im a pvp noob but I really want to improve my skill so I’ll appreciate an honest answer :p
I get all your other points though

Hi,
can I create a char and go directly to PVP with him without disadvantages? I know you can choose your sigills, runes etc there but what about weapons?

1 blueprint and 15 badges of honor?? No wonder nobody is there.. they really should boost it or give it uniqe rewards. Its such a cool place

Shinya.2598:

What other fixes and additions will we see?

Let’s be honest, the question we should be asking is, what are they going to break next?

They broke trait acquisition with the new unlock system. They have broken the levelling experience with the NPE. They have destroyed the daily system with the changes to the daily and monthly achievements.

I wonder what is the expansion going to break for us.

True..

Maybe some kind of ghost pet things? Since the spec is Druid. But I’d rathe see improvements in Pet AI. That would be enough

Please no wth I dont want to run around as an ugly bear or something.Go play diablo or wow.

Lamu.8453:

What I really want is a trait or signet that gives+25% moving speed for Guardian and Mesmer specs. They are so terrible to play in PvE, all other classes have that.

Yes, thats the reason I don’t play both in PvE! Rune of the Traveler ist just a waste I think

Jehuty.1938:

A support thief would be a little bit weird to be honest, as it’s pretty much an “assassin” class type, with high burst.
So I think the rifle would be the most reasonable weapon to give to the thief (considering the fact that the thief has no long range weapon). But the axe would make sense aswell imo. Maybe with some hardhitting melee skills, but D/D does exactly that.

I don’t think we will see a thief with a staff anytime soon.
Most likely the weapon will be either Rifle, Axe or Mace.

I agree. Rifle would be the coolest imo but I’m afraid that it will be as useless as a warrior rifle.

Yes! I dont need silly gliders or mushroom jumping BS, just let me save my builds already

This is gonna be my new signature.

Haha looks great

I’m not sure but what about PVP reward track?

sorudo.9054:

better then nothing, i normally don’t just jump to conclusions till they have more info and i really hope the first thing they do is show this change first so we have something to look out for.

They should just make it accbound together with the balancing patch tomorrow and then tey can tell us whatever fancy broken mechanic they’ll give us with HoT

ColinJohanson.2394:

We’ll go into more details between now and the release of HOT on how skills, traits, and specializations will work in the new Gw2 world.

Are you serious? You had 8 months to “re-evaluate” this kitten, we don’t want more “details” between now and HoT, just change it already!

The thing is, in 2-3 years when no one is there to do the group events, you just won’t be able to unlock 70% of the traits unless you buy them.

man there will be such a rage when all the veteran players roll a revenant and are confrontated with the current trait system.
PLS anet just change it ASAP !

Same here, from EU. Sometimes i get kicked within seconds, sometimes after 10 minutes.

Taygus.4571:

What’s disappointing to me is they haven’t said that they will change it. They haven’t said “we’re considering this or that idea, what do you think?”
They haven’t even agreed that the current trait system is a problem.

So I’m not hopeful that they’ll fix it.

Maybe they just don’t want our money anymore.

Is there even a thread with more replies and views? Its really ridiculous.

BentoDetective.6491:

The way Anet releases new updates is comparable to a gamble. They say they can’t reveal what they have in the works because failing to deliver will cause angry players coming at them with torches. On the other hand, once they announce the updates they can only hope we like it. Therefore, here we are in the forums either with smiley faces or pages upon pages of suggested changes.

Wasn’t it said that, don’t fix something not broken? For the old trait system, it was working fine. The new grandmaster traits could’ve just been added in a new manual. Following the previous manual prices: manual #1 = 10s, #2 = 1g, #3 = 2g, #4 = 3g. Affordable and obtainable in the reasonable sense.

Perhaps, new elite skills could use this system of going out and completing a task to unlock. This would fall in line with the aforementioned system of how GW1 worked by capturing elite skills. Correct me if I’m wrong as I haven’t played GW1.

You’re right. But the difference is that GW1 elite skills are very important to your build and often plays a key role (like Necro Flesh Golem). Whereas the elite skills in GW2 are 90% kitten so I don’t think anyone will hunt skills like Basilisk Venom for example.

PookieDaWombat.6209:

I can promise you that if Anet did link any fix to the trait system to the new content and made that content paid while leaving those that don’t pay for it in limbo that I would not only walk away from the game, but i’d walk away from Anet. Such an idea would be so ill conceived and ill received that it would sink them, so I cannot fathom them actually doing that.

I’d also hope that they would float a fix BEFORE they try going live with HoT in any way shape or form simply because if it IS a new paid for expansion, I will not buy it unless this trait problem is fixed in a way that is well received by most.

I think they will update the system in a feature pack in March/April before HoT comes out.

Dahkeus.8243:

Also, change the event requirement since it’s really frustrating to run way out to a zone, only to find that the event you need isn’t up and won’t be for a long time.

This is soooo annoying ! And when the event is up, noone is there! Yay! Also those Eternal Battleground traits really suck too.

what about making (some) waypoints accountbound? so you dont have to travel so much but still have to run around for world completion

“Too much work”

These are my suggestions after unlocking a few traits today, since I don’t think Anet will reverte the system (honestly that would be the best):

-No map completion
-Make it accountbound
-A tooltip in the top right corner that you can unlock traits on your current map
-No group events in PVE
-Lower the costs (especially skill points)

This can’t be so hard! It’s been 8 months!

It was pretty easy and fun with my warrior.

A few days ago i was doing teq with lots of people, I died and teleported to the WP. After swimming back to teq I only saw a few people running around not doing teq cause they knew they were not enough people. SO ANNOYING.

I would really like to see some melee action a la dragonball with lots of new cool animations.

I hope they don’t update the trait system with HoT but way earlier. I made three new alts after the april patch and I dont really play any of them. Just make the acquistion accountbound for god’s sake so I don’t have to do the same kitten x3.

Thanks for the help guys!

Hi guys,
I injured my left wrist in the gym last week and now I have to walk around with a stupid cast. The biggest problem is I don’t want to stop playing GW2,especially now when I can’t exercise.
Is there a way to move my character with clicking like in Diablo? I know you can move your char while holding down the left and right button but I can’t really get used to it.
