Konrad Curze.5130

VGN

p.s: VGTG

I want more elites so mesmer can at least have 1 elite spec, instead of downgrade specs

None of the previous expacs brought new weapons, so the chances are slim to none imho

95% of that builds were ubernerfed long ago. Actually I think that devs nerfed the shit out of that builds after each vid. Quite the compliment for Hizen...

I'd be happy if they settled for allowing all sets, but not mixing them. Like, the first piece you equip locks you into that category, if you equip a light armor skin, every other skin from then onwards that you equip will have to match the same weight category, and other options are greyed out

I agree with some of the above posters, It isnt so much that DH/FB dont have tradeoffs, its that the tradeoff they do have is utterly meaningless when its literally a straight upgrade for the most part. DHs could go with a minor wristslap, but FB needs a quadrillion ubernerfs, and it needs them yesterday

You are the delusional one. Playing Mesmer is like running a marathon barefoot over broken glass while the rest of racers are wearing shoes and running over a smooth track. its an exercise in masochism, there's zero reason to make things so much worse for yourself for absolutly no reason at all when every other profession is at a minimum just as efficient and oftenly more, while being a billion times easier to play and more survivable

And that amounts to 0,0001% of the game

Mirage and Support/DPS-Chrono are both garbage for the remaining 99,9999% of the game

Mounts alone are worth it. e-specs alone are worth it aswell. Put together, its a no brainer.

The rest is icing on the cake. The story is ok, the maps are cool but they all are kind of dead this days, they dont offer nearly a tenth the replayability of HoT maps

Its hard to say without being inside their minds, but if we go by empirical evidence, when guardians are the absolute best at everything, they feel its fair, but when other profession is great at anything, they feel the unfairness and nerfs start piling up

They are laying the groundwork, you know, like they have been doing with everything since 2013

Man, when GW2 launches in 2022 it'll be the BEST game ever, so much groundwork done

Sunk cost fallacy for me. I have invested way too much time and money here to simply call it quits without instant regret, so I stay even as the game slowly spirals into oblivion

Barely trying

right I was talking about PvE

rather, considering that we are losing Rampant Vex and our condi weapons still have shit power coefs. we should invest in pure condition damage because precision is practically worthless now

translated to PvE we are gaining up to 25% (if traited) condi duration in general (5% for torment), gaining 5% condi damage in general, while losing 15% damage to torment (5% if traited), torment on crits, boon stealing, and confusion

Now, the overwhelming majority of condi damage that revs do is in the form of torment with a small side of burning, with poison and bleeding barely being covers, and we are losing lots of stacks without Vex and losing raw torment damage from the rework on YE...Im dubious we'r gonna come out ahead here.

Am I the only one who thinks the changes to corr might be a net nerf? We'r gonna need to run the numbers real hard when the patch hits

They didnt get all that in one patch, tho. And anyway that example isnt exactly good, mesmer scepter is far from power creeped, its arguably on par with axe, and thats after several rounds of axe nerfs, or staff. So ANet can actually balance weapons when they feel like doing their jobs properly, shocking...

you could buff the ever loving shit out of rev's condi weapons and still wouldnt classify as power creep, because the base is so jawbreakingly low that even enormous buffs would still barely bump them to the average

Slim to none imho. They blew too much money and lost too much talent the last year

Yeah, you can ride the coattails of other's effort with any proff. But this is about being a bro and pulling your weight . Even if I can Im not willing to make my guildies suffer because of my stubborness to play a nearly worthless proff when I could play literally any other and be far more effective instead.

But hey, if your friends tolerate that, you do you

DS is waaaay more lively than PoF maps

Chrono still deader than a doornail after patch

Your still going to leave chronomancer for dead?

should rename Guild Wars to Ground Work. Its all ANet have done for years and years without ever having anything to show for it

Yes, its way too hard, and its difficulty comes squarely from having to deal with a massive barrage of ludicrous effects that completly cover the enemies, their animations and mechanics with no posible way to tone them down without screwing yourself in the process

Because if you lower the config for particles or models, the game engine wisely decides that you wanted to hide the 10 mobs attacking you 30 ft away or the boss' ground circle of death, but wanted to keep the nearby idiots with disco pink dye schemes spamming trillions of seizure-inducing particle effects with every keypress on screen, all the time

I'd pay gems for a working "disable particles that you REALLY dont need to see" toggle setting.

Expansion level content right there.

The problem with piercing is that it works horribly with elevation differences, its extremly unreliable, borderline unworkable in all but flat ground. Nothing smooth about that.

How about reworking old ricochet to this?

Pistol shots bounce to additional targets, dealing less damage with every bounce.

Trigger Chance: 100% <- old 50%

Maximum Additional Bounces: 2 <- old 3

Damage decrease per Bounce: 10% <- old didnt decrease

Range Increase: 0 <- old 150
