so you don't have the expansions? well then i think we've found something for you to do! =)

i remember casually playing my first online game of KuF2 on Xbox and being put against the guy at the very top of the leaderboard XD

i did used to love that game, swamp mammoths ftw!

i would be happy with playing more army on army warfare :)

burn guard? in the age of the sanctuary scourge?! MADNESS! ;)

but its not equal to CONDITION IMMUNITY.

all of my power characters crit constantly anyway,

high precision and fury gives you atleast 70% crit chance, so "100% crit chance!" doesn't do anything for me.

i loved that on my GW1 warrior, i dyed it pink! :blush:

also there was [15k druid armour](https://c-3sux78kvnkay76x24j7a1v9r0cvge9qx2eiruajlx78utzx2etkz.g00.gamepedia.com/g00/3_c-3maorjcoqo.mgskvkjog.ius_/c-3SUXKVNKAY76x24nzzvyx3ax2fx2fj7a1v9r0cvge9q.iruajlx78utz.tkzx2fmaorjcoqo_mgskvkjogx2f9x2f9ix2fXgtmkx78_Krozk_Jx78aoj_Gx78sux78_L_mx78ge_lx78utz.pvmx3fbkx78youtx3d143l0g5g25hg3k882kj5jj5701h9l280_$/$/$/$/$?i10c.ua=1&i10c.dv=12 "15k druid armour") for the rangers :-3

Glasscannon Soulbeast in general is hilariously strong right now,

it isn't just Worldly Impact (which you can get hitting waaaay over 14k)

my new favourite is stunning and critting people with 2 x 17k mauls from stealth XD

this comment won the internet :lol:

and to the folks saying "only if guys get something too!" ofcourse! i'd like a Conan style loincloth!

i also think its about time that male characters got a toggle for chest armour!

ok, well then i want perma quickness and superspeed too!

and if you wear full plate you have perma slow and can only use walk speed! :lol:

this is a bit of a **hot** topic _(pun intended!)_, i know some people are totally against the idea,

but i'm wondering when we will finally get some super awesome bikini armour!?

it is pretty much a requirement in an RPG!


_my Red Sonja is ready!_

i was hoping that we'd get some during this summer! but i'm still hoping that we'll get some for christmas! :blush:

i'm ready to throw lots of money at my screen! :smile:

is anyone else eagerly awaiting bikini armour? :grin:

there are a butt load of counters to power damage,

hell, even a base stat, Toughness reduces it, but does nothing to stop condi damage.

Protection is widespread through the classes and reduces power damage by a large chunk, there is no similar boon for condis.

Weakness is also common throughout classes and reduces power damage by a large chunk, there is no similar condition that reduces a players condi damage.

plus there is no chance involved, you don't need to stack ferocity and precision in order to do damage because you don't need to rely on crits,

if you click a skill that says it deals 8k burning damage, you don't need a lucky crit, that is the damage it will do.

(unless cleansed or the target has one of the few instances of resistance)

this lets you spec to be much more tanky, in order to deal immense damage as a power build you need to stack power, ferocity and precision

so you are usually required to be a glass cannon.

all it takes to deal high condi damage is the condi damage stat, leaving plenty of room for vitality, healing and toughness.

they absolutely ruined staff ele for spvp (it was already considered bad in spvp)

but because it was apparently good in wvw or raids it received colossal damage nerfs to its main fire damage skills in ALL GAME MODES.

so i'm with you, as a pvper who used to love playing an underdog spec, in a world of OP meta madness.

when i see that underdog spec being severely nerfed i can come to no other conclusion except the devs hate it.

i hate playing this map because its terrible.

to elaborate i HATE gimmicky mechanics, give me a map with 3 capture points and no sidequests any-day,

we've yet to see a map with NO side gimmicks, but that map would instantly be my favourite. (colliseum comes close, hence it gets picked a lot!)

spiritwatch has one of the most game shifting side-gimmick of them all, it is CTF.

when they added deathmatch they gave it its own queue (to not annoy players wanting conquest),

when they added stronghold they gave it its own queue (to not annoy players wanting conquest)

so howcome when they add CTF it is just hurled into the unrank rotation to annoy those of us who just want to play NORMAL Spvp, conquest.

(i usually type Spiritwatch with %% instead of the "piri" in "Spirit"...feels strange typing it normally!)

i have a norn that i play as called Foegore the Giant and i use the embiggening tonic permanently,

i really wish i could use other tonics in combat on different characters, i loved playing as themed characters in GW1,

for example i had the everlasting kuunavang tonic which turned you into a smallish dragon,

and i made an ele character called "Saltstray Dragon Hatchling" and i ran the same build as the Saltspray Dragons in that game :tongue:

moar combat tonics plx anet!

i hope whatever weapon/class combo is your favourite gets nerfed through the floor too,

and remember, don't be salty about it.

warrior rifle, not really, iirc it actually got BUFFS because people were complaining it was a bad confused weapon in pvp,

so it later became a powerhouse oneshotting people in wvw, so that was then dialled back (a bit)

turrets and minions,

1. are we going to pretend that turrets were really useful anywhere other than pvp, ever?

2. as a necro pve main who plays 99% of the time with a minion build, not a good example to give me!

ride the lightning, ok sure, how much will you be using that?

now back to fire staff ele who used to be awesome fun for sneaking up on capture points and unleashing hell as a true glass cannon class.

the number of hits of meteor shower was nerfed because of large hit box raid bosses, should not have happened to the pvp version.

the dmg in pvp is now SEVERELY nerfed, all because of these large hitbox raid bosses.

Lava Font has received a FORTY PERCENT dmg nerf , again because of its effectiveness in raids, should not have happened to the pvp version.

that is both of the things that made fire staff an awesome glasscannon tool, nerfed to the ground.

a weapon that barely any one was using in pvp because it was regarded as fairly bad, received such a large nerf that it performs half as well as it used to.

tell me that is good balancing,

tell me the skills shouldn't have been split,

or just carry on telling me to not be pissed about such a stupid change.

the most hilarious thing is how they've recently buffed dragon hunter, which was already fairly decent XD

while renegade remains an identity-confused trashtier spec

go ahead then? lets see if you can give anything as useless as staff ele is in spvp right now.

if it is even USEABLE in pve then it isn't as useless.

staff has been regarded as fairly bad in pvp, but because some people must have been doing well with it in raids, it is now utterly useless in pvp.

what happened to skill splitting? why was my weapon turned from bad to useless because it was good in a totally different part of the game?

balance patch?

fire staff ele not bad enough?

IMHO outfits were one of the worst things to happen to the game, before outfits came along we had armour sets being released on the cash shop regularly,

and they were pretty awesome too!

since the outfits were added however we've had very few armours, and when they do make armour they're hideous, (with a few exception)

nothing like before churning out outfits became the priority.

compare when armour was on the cash shop, they were [awesome](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/6/64/Incarnate_armor_human_female_front.jpg "awesome"), to now, [eew.](http://dulfy.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/gw2-elegy-armor-light-female.jpg "eew.")

> I would really love the Crystal Arbiter chest piece. I would buy it for 700 gems. But the rest of the outfit is terrible. This is why I never bought it. Same goes for most outfits.

ditto! if they released the outfits also as armour skins i would buy every single one, they all have atleast one part which i'd love to use.

i used to, i LOVED fire staff ele for sneaking up on a cap point and nuking the whole thing,

unfortunately Anet have nerfed it through the floor...

how dare they use a vantage point! HACKS!

they should stand still on the ground so the melee can kill them!

i want a chainmail bikini armour option!

it isn't an RPG until i get my chainmail bikini!

and it needs to be armour so we can mix it with different gloves/boots/head items

(plus there won't be any clipping issues or issues with cut off points, because its a bikini!)

poison will always be death for a HS war,

someone using any other skill can just wait for the poison to end before using their heal for full juicy value,

but since HS is always running, every time you poison the warrior, they're losing their healing.

i can see why it'd be hard for them to implement,

they'd have to code things in like if your character is wearing cultural armour it'd need to swap to the other race's cultural armour,

but what if you don't have that armour unlocked?

and thats not even delving into the personal story stuff,

it'd get complicated.

also with the amount of boosters/tomes it is very easy to just make a new char of the race you want and boost them to 80 instantly,

plus its free XD
