Retaliation in WvW needs a tone down. Maybe an internal cooldown on how many times it can hit a target?

For example.. an Ele can drop a meteor shower on a group of people, and if they have retaliation on them, that Ele will basically kill themselves. I get that retaliation is supposed to damage people hitting you, but at the rate it comes in is a bit much.

Berserker's Arc Divider (Greatsword F1 while in Berserk Mode) still needs damage reduction, and I believe the 3rd radius is a bit too far out. Meteor shower doesn't even extend that far.

Perhaps with range it could start at 180, then 2nd strike would be 240, then 3rd strike would be 360 to keep it in line with meteor shower distance. As it stands Arc Divider is the largest radius skill in WvW.

This is majority of the complaints coming from people on reddit. It is way more than just myself.

> **Equipment Templates (character-bound)**

>

> * Frees up bag space ¹

> * A single piece of legendary equipment can be customized with different attributes in separate Equipment Templates ²

> * Each character will start with two Equipment Template tabs and can have up to six tabs with additional purchases available in the Black Lion Trading Company Store ³

¹ This maybe the case with ascended or exotic gear, but people with Legendary gear, this does not save them anyspace, but its a minor thing.

² This is the biggest issue, and it absolutely devalues Legendary gear. We want to use 1 set of legendary gear for a single tab and be able to switch stats and rune sets (requires legendary runes) on the fly using that 1 tab without taking up multiple equipment tab slots. The stats could be saved in a different location and can be swapped on the fly, since it doesn't require gear and just the stats. There could be some sort of check in place to verify the character using the template has legendary gear on for those slots before switching stats.

³ This is simply just a limitation of equipment templates for people that run more than 10-20 builds for raids or other activities. 6 Is not enough. With the UI design seeming to be limiting to how many the future can hold. There needs to be a way to store 100s if a player chooses.

This build is for scrapper, as I find it to be one of the best classes during lab farming.

* Near 100% boon duration. (even uses chocolate omnomberry cream for 40% MF)

* 88.24% crit chance (with traits & fury).

* 100% uptime with Fury while attacking.

* Quickness from Elixir U (12 seconds), Applied Force (scrapper trait, 6 seconds), and Superior Sigil of Rage (6 seconds)

* Permanent swiftness from Superior Sigil of Speed, as well as Rocket Boots for Immobilize removal and Superspeed.

* Utilizes Grenades for roaming between doors, and swap grenades out for flamethrower at doors.

* Has Sneak Gyro to stealth past mobs if you need to get back to the squad.

* Damage is lower to prevent mobs from dying too fast to let others get a tag in.

You do not have to go with diviners, but if you want that boon duration you will need it. Diviner's is quite difficult to get considering the insignias take 3 exquisite jewels from thunderhead keep meta.

So for example. Say I login to game and play for about 4 hours. I logout of game for 5 hours to do other activities. Later in the evening I log back in game, and within 5 minutes of being on, It tells me I have already been playing for 1 hour. How does 5 minutes = 1 hour?

Something seems buggy..

You wanna hear sad.. full zerk gear (ascended).. with scholar runes. Hit a veteran mob in domain of istan for 1511 damage with the auto attack with grenades.

Grenades need like a 250% damage increase. Seriously.

Actually It would be 3 things you would have to buy. More equipment tabs, More personal build templates (the top tabs in the hero panel in the build tab), and account build storage (the place you can view all builds across all characters).

> @"yoni.7015" said:

> “Arenanet employees should not be paid. Here is why”

I'm not saying that at all. They came up with a great idea with the build sharing, but charging for it when you can create a chat link and store them externally. People aren't going to be paying for something they can do for free (and no I am not talking about using arcdps).

> @"Rico.6873" said:

> Can't you code/link/save your build and copy paste it to get it right away?

Just the traits and utility skills.. not actual equipment. As far as I know equipment templates can't create chat codes. The parts that you can share is only utility skills and traits.

Since the account build storage can share builds with other people.. needing to buy more slots is pointless since you can use a text file to store your builds and just copy a chat code to swap.

> yeah but trait changing, was never that annoying... it's gear sets and runes..and ultimately no matter how many trait templates you have a chat code for... you're limited to 6, because you only have 6 gear templates.

I agree, switching between traits and utility skills was never really that much of a problem. However them charging for more slots for something that can be freely stored elsewhere is the point I'm trying to make.

> To my mind that just puts it into the same category as other convenience items in the gem store. No one needs a home instance portal or world boss portal because they can use waypoints. No one needs infinite salvage kits or gathering tools because they can buy infinite numbers of consumable ones in-game relatively cheaply. No one needs home instance nodes because they can get the same materials out in the world.

>

> What you're paying for is making it slightly more convenient. Whether that's worth doing will vary between people of course (and between items). I know I don't need infinite gathering tools, but I like having them so I don't have to worry about making sure I've got spares. I doubt I'll buy build (or equipment) templates because I don't change my build that often so using text codes instead is fine for me. (Honestly I'm mostly ok with changing them manually, except I can never remember which traits I need.)

>

> But IMO it's important that we don't need to buy them, because otherwise it goes from a convenience to a required upgrade and even expansions haven't really hit that point.

When you can use a personal guild to store them via motd with different builds in it... how much more of a convenience is it really to use them with the account build storage instead? You are essentially just opening a different window in game.

Correct, but equipment templates are separate and can't be shared anyway. So monetizing those is perfectly fine. Since the account build storage can share builds with other people.. needing to buy more slots is pointless since you can use a text file to store your builds and just copy a chat code to swap.

Since you can store builds in the account build storage that can be shared via chat codes, anybody with a text editor can store as many builds as they want. This is why charging for account build storage slots is redundant with the build sharing functionalities.

I for one will not put a dime towards them as long as I can store them externally, or via guild message of the day.

Maybe you can use 1 set of Legendary armor in 1 equipment template. And you can change builds and it uses the same gear but swaps stats without taking up another equipment template.

Because that feature is going to be disabled on that program once the official build templates releases.

-------------------------------

Also I'm confused on how equipment templates will work with Legendary Gear since it uses it for 1 tab.. so can you still access it for another tab or do you need another full set?

This was during NA reset on tier 1.

Last I heard @"Stephen ClarkeWillson.1802" was working on this. Back on August 26th which he stated..

>2019 08 26: I went into Blackgate and watched the CPU and some fights; pretty sure this is a problem with too much CPU requirements and it only happens in big battles with lots of skills flying. Sometimes players, who are clever and amazing, figure out a new way to use a skill that is expensive so we'll be evaluating skill performance.

Just wondering what has been going on since then? Is this something that's being put on the back burner until after world reconstructing?

This seems like a perfect opportunity for ArenaNet to take advantage of. It would help grow the game even more.

These changes to Death Magic for Necro.. and still no way to actually control minions.. sad

So doing some further testing. This doesn't seem to be a problem in PvE, as I can't reproduce it there. Seems to be WvW only related.

Don't exactly know what triggers it

So that's why I haven't seen any final chest yet..

So I was in WvW. I removed a legendary sigil from 1 weapon and put it on another. I selected Superior Sigil of Bloodlust. I proceeded to kill stuff with that weapon and only got 1 stack of bloodlust. I removed the sigil and re-applied it and then it worked normally after. This isn't the first time it's done this to me.

> @"Justine.6351" said:

> I think it will be awkward to use now because once you place it you HAVE to use another to reposition. You cannot unsummon a shade. Once you use them all it's straight melee shading.

I still think having the increased cooldown on the trait should be removed to help normalize this, that or have a way to unsummon a shade.

They already had a branded utility consumable already.. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Powerful_Potion_of_Branded_Slaying

Why do we need a 2nd.. this just completely ruined my stack I had.
