Short answer: no.

Long answer: make your own group. You’re welcome

You could finish the sunspear weapon collection for under 3g? Helps to keep track of what you have as well

Key binding about face helps as well :)

He’s asking about dps not open world mob tagging.

Longbow was killed by anet for how much damage it did, so for actual dps you have to run scepter. For everything else, you can run longbow.

Alacrity got toned down but is super easy to maintain now. If anything chrono can do more than before, heals, might, quickness, alacrity. The dps drop is barely noticeable. Think derpy said its 0.7% for weaver.

Condi engie still does very good damage. Base ele can be good if you play the class well enough.

I had base support guards in my runs and it was fine :)

While everyone says get rid of big hitbox damage which im totally for I don't think ppl realize how big of an impact it will actually have on other classes, ele ofc being getting hit the hardest.

The trait is broken on exactly „one” raid boss out of 15-16 encounters and that is why it should be nerfed? Might as well remove ele from pve if weaver gets nerfed, considering it brings no utility, self sustain or useful buffs.

It’s a situational glass cannon „if the stars align and you don’t suck”. Nothing more.

Yes please. I love those skins :)

Are you suggesting your average pug chrono can give you perma alacrity, quickness and distort every slam on gorseval?

Please post a log where you beat a mirage, renegade or holosmith on matthias. I’m intrigued :)

Run a full clear on weaver, on all bosses, and come back with logs. If it’s as op as you say you should be top dps on all fights, right?

How is the will to do something efficiently an „issue”?

This horse is long dead. Make your own „4 viper necro 1 druid” fractal group :pensive:

Why does no one cry about those? :p

Well ele in general is squishy as hell unless you take some arcane shields etc to help you pull that meteor shower off. Plus you really need to care to be able to do good damage on ele/weaver. Tempest maybe a bit easier due to how much air overloads does and allows you to remain mobile.

Necro. Well you’ll definately survive longer if you don’t face tank everything. You may even out dps most pug weavers given how hard that weaver rotation is.

Qtfy doesn’t update anymore. Just an fyi

You’re so far behind it’s cute. Nothing „bleeds” into fractals. There were lfgs asking for meta comps since dungeons. It’s jusrmt that people who liked running dungeons and fractals started raiding once those came out. I do all of these as I love instanced content.

I actually didn’t care much about the group in fractals until a few days of horrible pugs made me quit fractals for a month. Now I’m running meta comps like „before” (nothing new here). And it takes max. 30 min to do your dailies.

Join whatever you like. It’s a free world :)

Ascended weapons and trinkets are enough. Players don’t gear check. They dps check their dpsers. You can easily outdps a full ascended player wearing greens as long as you know your class better than he does.

Don’t they have the generic ascended weapon skin like all the ascended purchases? Only the armor skin is pvp specific afaik

> But you don't need 100% retaliation uptime outside of raids and fractals. The example I gave above (Virtue/Rad DH doing F1, Sw 2, Procession, GS 2, GS 5) gives a total of 17s of fury and 10s of retaliation. Most anything you will fight in pve won't last that long, except open world bosses, where everyone else will be spamming 1 in Nomad's gear anyway.

well OP didn't exactly specify the content he meant it for up until now. In open world a short burst from the healing skill is enough usually.

Heal Rev works well as a second healer in raids. You only need one druid now anyway. Support Renegade is very useful overall. If you want to play fractals or raids a healer rev will work. You don't always get meta groups in fractals.

Why not use marauder stats for some extra hp? It's not exactly a given to have 100% retaliation uptime outside of raids/fractals (if you have a good chrono).

You have a ton of groups in LFG posting "Know mechanics" as their only requirements. Upon raid release there were plenty of "let's check it out" groups. That's how I've done w3 when it came out. We just went in and checked stuff out untill we killed it :)

Raid/pvp/pve/wvw locked means you have to play the content. Nothing more.

The rotation is quite managble if you remember the idea of it:

Upon engaging let’s say a veteran:

F1

Trans

GS#2

Or for groups:

Drops traps

GS#5 - the pull

GS#2

Can use GS#3 to engage for the blind.

Camp scepter. Remember to use F2 and F3 if you need it. Don’t face tank mobs.

You can also run sword instead if scepter for the blind. Try off hand focus if you’re struggling.

It’s like 30k vs 34k afaik

Rifle offers a bit more utility. I don’t mind using it though. It’s new. It’s shiny and I love photon forge :)

Trusting pugs to CC? :) Rip.... :)

Weaver is still super situational and the rotation is waaay harder. Just like condi engie.

I'm happy we have a dps spec which works in most game mods and doesn't make your fingers bleed. Just wish Anet changed how Toolbelt skills scaled so we could run sword :)

And yet a weaver brings next to 0 cc.

I play both and feel I can adapt better on holo.

Check out The Crossroads Inn. You have regular raid training, ppl run raids daily. statics etc. I'm sure you'll find what you need :)
