> @"Yoci.2481" said: > Mirage Cloak's Speed of Sand does not cover more ground than a dodge. A dodge covers 300 units. Speed of Sand grants 66% movement speed for 0.75 seconds. Base movement speed in combat is 210 units per second. > 210u/s * 1.66 * 0.75s = 261.45 units. That's a lot less than the 300 units from a normal dodge. Speed of Sand is also affected by movement impairing conditions like chill or cripple. In that case it covers even less ground. And it only works in the forward direction, not sideways or backwards. > > All of that combines into a pretty reasonable trade-off. > > edit: And you can't dodge jump. and to top it off speed of sand is a TRAIT. so not only it covers less ground but also occupies a trait slot that other classes get some of their OP shit. holo gets lasers edge for example in that slot.

usually its better to use it on allies, if you use it on enemy they can just move out of it. if you use it on ally they can decide to stay inside, but it depends on the situation.

As someone who started ranger recently I will give you some of my thoughts on the matter, maybe there are work-arounds maybe not. But loads of ranger skills feel sluggish to use. LB 3 in theory doesnt have a cast time but in practice its not instant, if you use it with your back it doesnt fire and goes on FULL cooldown, this needs fixing. GS 5, locks you in place and does that small dash thingy, just let us move during cast and remove the dash, Give the hit itself 160 range and call it a day. ( it lets us land it more consistently, makes it get bugged on terrain less and makes it easier for ranger to position for the stun instead of giving the enemy or the dice gods the choice. Sword 2/3 evades feel shit. I Feel like im spamming evades and HOPING I evade something instead off actually evading what I need, sword 2 has problems with landing hits, and the skills themselves leave you open for attack. Axe mainhand looks like it tries to be hybrid between power and condi, but fails at both. It has no defensive capabilities whatsoever, and the damage is not good enough to justify it. Give axe 1 some condi damage, and axe 2 damage buff and it might be usable.

> @"whoknocks.4935" said: > > @"Woltarion.6829" said: > > I don't agree, 2 dodges should be the minimum of dodge given for an elite spec based on dodge. No trait should give mirage another dodge, mirage already has 2 dodge in PVE and it should have also 2 in PvP. Thief daredevil, which is a dodge base elite has THREE dodges. Having only 1 dodges create a big disruptency in the gameplay of the game and it has been repeated 1000 times but they don't want to revert this change. If elusive mind could give one more dodge, everybody is going to take this trait and not the two other because it's too much essential to have 2 dodges to survive in PvP. > > Wrong, for condi IH is an essential trait, and pretty broken one. > > If you give 2 dodges again leaving IH untouched, condi no brainer mirage return meta again. > > Probably give mirage 2 dodges, but change IH to Endurance Threshold Decrease: 50. it wont return, ih ambushes dont deal dmg anymore, staff ate 50% dmg nerf, scepter lost all its dmg due to bleed on crit trait. staff clone has more dps with auto-attacks rather then ambushes. Axe is the only good IH ambush but those clones are melee anyways. IH is better for power IH then for condi now.

> @"Vancho.8750" said: > What about a doppelganger speck where you get large hp pool , no clones or summons just one exact copy of the character, either permanent mirror image which shares the HP pool or something like Necro life force mechanic where you gather HP to summon the second you. The F skills will let you port to it or it to you, have a shield wall kind of mechanic where they defend each other and a tandem attack skill that repeats the main characters skills something like the doppelganger from DMC > > sounds cool, wont work. I cant see current dev team being able to pull something like this off, and if they do we will face several years of bugs the like of which we never seen before. to top it off spec would be gutted into the ground from the start, since switching a place is too confusing for 95% of population.

> @"Psycoprophet.8107" said: > I'm actually ok with those thief changes if it got some small buffs to its burst damage. I will say tho I do like how most of ur adjustments are small. I'd love if SA was reworked to promote a high risk high reward playstyle instead of the low risk mediocre reward playstyle it is now. how the fuck do you want to make STEALTH trait-line promote high risk - high reward playstyle, its job for crit strikes and not for sa

EVERY build did it. from weavers that healed to full from 10% hp while chain evading then gaining 50% barrier, warriors throwing rocks for 15k while passively regenerating hp to revs porting through walls and almost instantly downing people while having bruiser level of sustain. If every class has broken as fuck build and you nerf half of them you didnt fix any problems, often times even made them worse.

Instead how about actual QoL ? 1 add a proper cast time to longbow 3, often times its cast gets canceled, due to targeting something behind or starting other skills and it goes on full cd. It also makes it impossible to stow-cancel, it always goes on full cd. as for buffs, I would look for things that go unused, like mainhand axe, axe 2 is a joke for example. various pet qol fixes ( mainly ai ) mainhand sword hit detection increase etc.

GW 2 population is first and foremost REALLY fucking bad at rotating and making sound tactical choices, and most people think skill = ability to fight people only.

A revenant can activate the facet and basically prevent enemies from bursting him, because he can turn it all into full healing _instantly_.

It IS auto-attack weapon. 3 is stealth, 4 is CC used to set up 2 most of the times, and 5 is areadenial, and middle finger to zoo necros and mesmers, realistically you wont get more then 2 ticks onto people. It is a good skill but its not a bread and butter. Meanwhile axe, arguably has all bad skills, 1 is amazing, 2 is legit fucking useless, and 3 is basic attack but aoe with some utility condis, hardly worth the loss of range and other utility. If devs wanted axe to be usable, they should probably work on axe 2, as having a skill that is worse then basic attack is unacceptable IMO. Axe is in a same bot as mesmer scepter, where weapon tried to be usefull for both power and condi and ended up being medicore/bad for both.

Its never a problem to react to it, but the fact that by the time you react its already too late and it healed for 7k+ AND you cant attack.
