That's funny some is asking for context when a guard screenshot with high damage gets posted, but if some posts for the millionth time they got smoked by a pet because they couldn't dodge GS 2-5-2 everyone takes it at face value.

Never change forums, you make me smile every day.

Shit, was that the secret to playing thief I was missing when I was getting my ass handed to me when I tried it out?

Good thing my brain was hardwired for more difficult key pairings when I picked up condi staff and had an easy time with it. :#

This thread is going places.

Where that place is though, I'm not entirely sure...

Armor rating in this game isn't really a thing like WoW (to the point there might as well not even be numbers on it) and we already have toughness ignoring damage in the form of conditions, so what would be the need for it in this game?

Coupled with tankiness comes from outside factors such as barriers, blocks and boons.

Mirage.

People will soon whine that one dodge is still one dodge too many for them.

Wait until they give FB only one dodge :#

They were going to, but higher priority stuff like Funkopop vinyls came in

I remember when 5-mans were the boogeyman that was just standing in the way of people reaching the ranks they feel they should be at.

Now all the seasons later, in their minds, it's duo queues messing all that up.

Anet should go ahead and remove it just for the sheer amusement of seeing what the next excuse players come up with on why they're just not at the ranks they should be at.

Won't people just find something else to bitch about and demand that be removed too?

Those are called CI Chaos Mesmers and they're a feature.

Worst has to be PU core mesmers

I have it on good authority they get countered by literally everything in the game - especially Ventari Revs who dole out alacraty

Maybe all would be good if they made a new elite spec line for Mesmer called "Delusions"

I for one stopped playing Necro because they gave another light armor wearer access to wells and an axe ON THE SAME PROFESSION

Oh btw... meant to put a /s at the end of that ;)

Would you consider running it on Engi?

I remember once upon a time cele rifle was a thing, but of course times change

LOL I liked this a little more than I probably should :p

So when they do nerf them, what the next excuse going to be?

Isn't that basically every "nerf x" posts ever made on this forum?

At this point we can really be done outside tearing it all down and starting all over?

I questioned that repeatedly and never got an answer.

No game I've ever played that had a ranked PvP mode ever dropped an xpac or major overhaul before a season ended. They always timed out the start of a new season around it.

What major malfunction in Anet thought that not doing the same would be a good idea?

> @LUST.7241 said:

> Adding PoF specs mid-PvP season without any matchmaking or any PvP changes was a huge blow to PvP. Ranked is pretty much just practice mode at this point.

This was something that made zero sense to me.

Nearly any other game that is PvP based (be it an MMO or MOBA) usually has a brand new season when an XPAC or major features get changed.

In the end though, I was fed up with PvP long before this point, so I decided to stop playing and cancelled my pre-order of PoF.

I'll keep checking back to see if Anet makes any positive changes that the majority of community thinks is beneficial to PvP (because as the old saying goes you can't make all the people happy all the time), but after the last year plus I don't have any hopes of that...

Here here!

Thank you Anet for dragging in the PvE dregs to come and get their armor token and pushing up the previous bottom rung player base and replacing them with the PvE'rs

You have truly done a great service to your dwindling community and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Gold is a mixed bag of...well I don't know what exactly to call it.

I guess it's people a little more mechanically sound than bronze/silver, but there are so many basics I've seen people in Gold just not do such as being on a team with multiple people that can grant swiftness to the whole team out of the gate and nobody doing it
