Uh, that's not their job, it's by their kindness they are sharing these builds to the public.

I have experience in all the first 4 wings, legendary armor + the eternal title to prove it, I mostly play heal druid, almost exclusivly.

The times I can raid is.. Pretty much any time as I do not currently possess employment.

Contact me ingame if you are insterested.

NA btw.

I just wish that Grenade Barrage would get mega nerfed. Along with the insane barrier generation for scrapper for the amount of dmg it deals. the whole explsoive traitline needs to be looked at.

And the grenade kit.

Not even then. Ranger can't permastealth.

> Worse yet, the "you cant be targetted" part is only *partially* correct, as for a second or two after entering stealth, attacks continue to track and hit you. So, with a short enough duration, stealth may well do *literally nothing*. Thats why its useless for defense, and why good thieves dont use it for defense. If youre fighting and you enter stealth, you want to drop it ASAP, as staying in stealth is essentially giving the enemy free hits while unable to fight back.

I don't think I have read anything more wrong in my life.

I just did a test. And, to absolutley nobodys surprise. Daredevil is faster.

> * "Ranger has more stealth" — Ranger only has Hunter's Shot unless they're playing a pretty weak trapper build that will get eaten alive by Rifle pokes (they can't Power burst and they can't pull you into the traps like Dragonhunter can). And Druid has stealth on Celestial Avatar but fighting that build means you're not getting hit with massive burst from Soulbeast.

Well, actually we have GS 3 through Smokefield from smokescale too.

Totally beats thieves tho. :^)

The proof of burden is on you, you know, you are willing to argue it, but you have to provide evidence too.

Well we humans are humans, we will defend something that we know is wrong, just because we do not want to be wrong.

Absolutley not. Rytlock is husbando. And will always be.

> @"Solanum.6983" said:

> I play both and a thief's shortbow alone gives it more mobility than a ranger, remember that you can use it to quickly climb up some vertical surfaces. Theif is also _the_ stealthing class, Shadows Refuge will give you more consecutive seconds in stealth as one skill than a druid leaving celestial avatar, using longbow 4 and then 4 traps with rune of the trapper.

Longbow 4 is a knockback. Longbow 3, Hunter's Shot, is the stealth.

I really want to know how ranger can outrun thieves. Perhaps I can finally catch them then.

It's a bit hard to catch a class that not only has like 3 teleports in a row, but also 3 dodges, that travel further than normal dodges, ontop of Swiftness ontop of the shadow art tree.

I really wanna know how.

Because my Swoop does not cover the same distance, last I checked. Even with Gazelle there is no way in Tyria I can catch up to a thief that really wants to flee.

So now I finally managed to get gold on all of the tracks, along with my lovely scarf and title, can we get more tracks ? Because it is so satisfying when you race, how fast you can go and how you can drift with the beetle.

Kralkatorrik, a villain who actually had rhyme and reason as to why he wanted to fight us back.

> And here we have the problem mate, I would think 90% of the people who want to clear raids dont want to sped 2 hours on 1 wing even when they are newbies.

Then honestly, they should not raid. You have to learn to be good at WvW, you have to learn to get good at sPvP, so why not raids ?

Allow it to heal for all the damage absorbed and be an AOE push-back similar to how ventari's tablet works with a fusion of its basic theme of being a bastion for allies.

This would make Heralds have 2 Get out of jail free card tho. :v Since Infusion of Light exists.

> They couldnt really remove attunements so but they still wanted to change how you approach/play the class.

> Core elementalist already wants to swap a lot. Weaver wants to swap more to get more dual attacks and cycle through. Hence the 4s global attunement CD. Tempest wants to stay that extra bit longer to get the overload. Hence no change to base ele timings but the wait time for use and I creased cool down afterwards so you are more likely to rotate slower.

>

> You're idea kind of removes some of the focus and makes tempest more of a straight elementalist+ than it already is. It's likely on the list to get a different trade off. Customizing via traits it's fine but I wouldn't say the playstyle is passive. You need to make choices and deal with opportunity cost.

>

> One of the reasons I consider weaver to be better designed is due to threads asking for f5 unravel. It means they like the spec but miss something that was given up.

I just want weavers to have more utilities that are friendly to staff users... Because all are kinda melee or defense based which is kinda annoying.

Everytime I have used Defense Field, which is from the Bulwark Gyro the projectiles seems to always be deleted.

In any case, the unblockable effect, as for the ranger can only be triggered by 2 skills and one trait, Call of the Wild, which is Warhorn 5, which no one uses and it also only lasts for 3 attacks. Signet of the Hunt which makes the rangers attacks unblockable for 6 seconds, and Clarion call, which gives you 2 stacks of unblockable attacks when you swap pets, all on fairly lengthy cooldowns.

Longbow soulbeasts are fine.

And no, I don’t play them,

Excuse you, we have a name and we are called Scrappers.

Engineers just keep getting the shaft and Anet does zip about OP long bow and super OP Soulbeast. Broken kitten like this is what makes people not want to play the game. Anet is driving away their own player base by not being in touch with the reality of what is truly happening.

That's only effective against things like warrior block that blocks attacks, not for example, Wall of Reflection, which yeets(or reflects) the projectile, doesn't matter if it unblockable or not. Same with things like Scrappers field, which deletes projectiles upon contact.

> (This is all speculation). We were led to believe that Kralkatorrik feared a world without him. During the end of LS4 he stated that he didn't fear death or a world without him. I'm just wondering why did he try to stop the supposed prophecy/vision he had if he didn't fear the outcome of his vision.

He was trying to stop himself from getting you know, killed, he knew what the prophecy was, a world without him, which you know, would mean he would be dead, he wanted to stop that, and we made that prophecy come true.

The only point I agree on is the amulet one.. But all stats, none excluded.

I disagree, I am a silver 3 player and I often duo queue with my gold 1 and 2 friends, duo queue is the only thing that makes rankes pvp fun, that you are able to play with your friends in a competetive enviroment.

Eh, I heavily disagree on that, it's pretty much the only thing that is able to keep me alive and be able to escape as a core Grenadier engi. :/
