agree 100%, while i play mostly on a single character, it is a ranger, im constantly swapping from condi to power to healer depending the content im playing and its getting a but dull

im keeping mine out of hope, i kinda like the legend swapping mechanic, and like my ranger, i never feel alone when i solo cause i have the legends with me XP (the iddle conversations are hilarious and very well imply that the current chaneled legend is right there with you like a voice in your head), however im dont feel confortable with any of the odd weapon combinations for revenant (mace/axe condi? ranged hammers? slow dual wielding swords? lol) im kinda hoping for the next expansion to bring something fresh for reve, maybe a meta greatsword wielding legend. but if it doesnt, ill probably end up deleting it

off-hand sword, we seriusly need a decent dual blades style (no, revenant and chrono dual blades isnt decent)

hello, on my sb i have builds for condi damage and healing, however im looking to make a class that is considered raid meta with a power build . currently the 3 power classes that im seeing most in raids filling this role are Dragonhunter, tempest/weaver and Holosmith, i definily dont have patience for elementalist rotations, so the choice fall ons holo and DH, i cannot decide wich one of the 2 make, i only have a free character slot remaining, so i was wondering if you guys would be so kind as to tell me the pros and cons of each of these 2 professions?

hello, i just wanted to bring this up, the scythe angle has been fixed with todays january 9 patch

there are several scythe skins that look cool on dark themed DDs, the traditional (and extremely expensive) scythe staff skin, the destroyer scythe, on the recent LS we got 2 more, the Sunscythe wich looks aweosme (but unfortunally got messed up by Anet recently because of a bug with necromancers wielding it, they flippled the holding angle and now the blade tip points upward, like ready to decapitate your own character) and Oblivion though this last one is w5 raid gated

> I am curious if there are professions that do well without weapon swapping. One that could still do raids/fractals in PVE. I have read that thief Daredevil staff requires no swapping but was wondering if any other professions do well also. I do not have much experience with professions at the high level. I'm not interested in PVP . But I love many things about this game, story, world, freedom, but having to weapon swap to maximize dps for me is something I don't enjoy. I know it really gives a lot of freedom to the min/maxers but for me I guess I am just simple.

> Another side question, is there a profession where the basis of it is to just use abilities while they come off cooldown. I've never done well where you have to stack these three debuffs before applying this offensive Dot, ect. Trying to find the right class for me. Since there are so many options that I don't even know where to start, would love some assistance.

shortbow condi soulbeast became a thing recently as an easier alternative to d/t sb condi soulbeast and is basically just pressing things as they go off CD, you usually use 2 shortbows, but its only to trigger the sigil of geomancy for 3 extra bleed stacks. braindead build that does meta raid/fractal damage lol, you could even create a macro to just spam the skills for you with a single button if you have a gaming mouse

i also say thief, note that i main ranger, but with open world and general content i feel much safer on my daredevil thief, it might have the lowest hp tier, but if you know how to use your evades and dodges (wich is mandatory for any DD) even as a full berserker you are practically the hardest proffesion to get downed in open world

i also love playing d/d, is like a less squishy version of what used to be d/d thief. i also share your view about torch, they are ugly, it was the main reason for me declining the "meta" of condi soulbeast.

however just a couple of months ago we got this "torch" skin on hallowen, i think you might like it if you decide to someday give torch another go https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Touch_of_Madness

why no both? both are fun to use, on mine i go power DD for fractals and fast open world content and condi for raid and pvp

people selling raids technically arent doing anything wrong cause there is no rlmt involved, however if Anet really dont have any real issues with them then atleast they should be given their own raid tab for "raid services" or something so they stop filling the lfm raid tab with spam...

staff daredevil (i know its listed as meta but most people dont like it)

GS soulbeast

s/s revenant (we need a decent dual blades class)

s/d weaver

i doubt any new legend would be any deceased character we have meet so far, it would be a big spoiler for any new player just coming and buying all expansions at once. (Trahearne stance with a living Trahearne right at your side in the main personal story from vanilla gw2 lol)

rewarding weapon, well, we allready have a support elite and a condition damage elite, so hopefully next elite will be a decent power spec and GS is the only one that makes sense to me to fill this role unless Anet thinks revenant still doesnt have enough range weapons and decides to gives us a dps elite with LB, scepter or pistols-rifle.

dagger mh is another weapon that could be made into a power option for reve, but it would look extremely odd using dagger main hand with sword offhand but considering we had seen odd combinations before like medium range mace/axe and ranged GS, Hammers...

voted offhand sword, we need a decent power dual blades class.

if you know how to play it, you can solo champs as daredevil. by the way in what content do you fight 2 or 3 champions ranked enemies at once?

i like the idea of a dual wielding sword thief, with a fast gameplay and acrobatic style like sword weaver or how the original autoattack animation for sword ranger used to be, though not with the skills you made, but with a fast pased gameplay like staff daredevil, we need a proper dual wielding sword class, (no, chrono and revenant doesnt count, they are too slow).

however, considering that so far all elites have been a dps elite, and a support elite for all classes but thief, who now has 2 dps elites, i feel that the chance of the next elite specialization for thief being another dps spec are slim

if at the end it comes to, as Anet told me "weigh the better of two evils" considering necromancers allready have a scythe effect ALL the time on any staff skin of their choice and a pretty huge one on reaper shroud. i personally believe DDs and revenants deserve this small treat considering they have very limited options for decent melee staffs and the 2 other best looking scythe skins are locked behind a legendary weapon level of gold requeriment (scythe staff) and pro endgame raid content (Oblivion)

@Dezember.1295 thanks a lot, i think i got it ^^. Here is my ranger, best trenchcoat is no trenchcoat XP


can someone tell me how to post a screenshot so it apears whole in the reply and not as a link?

im really interested of hearing what people say about this, i have the same issue, cannot decided wichever to main my ranger or thief, i like my ranger cause it has the most builds that can be considered "meta" for endgame content (and its the only one of the 2 i can use my sunrise) , like raids, high lv fractal, etc. but i love my DD staff gameplay, but most people seem to see thief as, "ugh..." on these endgame contents

also, correct me if im wrong, it should only be a matter of checking whats different in Sunscythe from ther other Scythe skins like scythe staff and destroyer scythe (cant say about Oblivion because afaik, no one has that skin yet) wich look correct in both necromancer and rev/dd that makes the former look flipped on necro

i send a ticket report and i got this answer from Anet

"Thank you for sharing your feedback on the recent Sunscythe changes. Due to a bug fix for Necromancers, this seemed to have cause problems with this item when equipped by other classes. At this time, the Development team is determining whether it is possible to make everyone happy! But this may be an instance where they must weigh the better of two evils. "

Race: any

Gender: any

Profession : revenant and daredevil

Item: Sunscythe

issue: graphical bug

Since the wintersday 2017 patch, the holding angle for this weapon has been flipped, it seems that this done to fix a graphical bug with the shadow scythe effect of necromancers, wich appeared on the oposite side making the staff look like an anchor, however acording to necros the shadow effect on the side also flippled over, so the problem was not the staff, but the shadow effect, and now daredevils and revenants using this skin for melee combat look terrible.

it wouldnt matter too much if it was a cheap skin, but its it quite expensive and probably the second best and most accesible scythe skin for melee staff users, please fix anet

here are a couple of screenshots, one pre patch and another post patch



from what ive heard, the shadow scythe effect on necro staff animation also flipped over so what was bugged wasnt the staff, but necro´s scythe effect

yeah, fix necro, but screw everyone else u.u, i dont see them doing the same to scythe staff, destroyer scythe or Oblivion, they all still point in the correct direction
