Or perhaps you are not very welcoming of minis that role play as something other than their biologically assigned gender?

And this right here is why I have my glider, mini princess mia, both infusions, all my weapons skinned, and never fail to play one of my boomboxes every moment I get the chance to. Just because one is crap at jumping does not mean one should hate upon those, who can actually play :)

> I was having a neat experience using mace + axe + short bow condi Renegade for open world content until I decided to try to solo some champions from the bounty hunter quest. I did a couple of attempts in the first map with my power herald but died/run out of time after wearing out ~50% of the HP from the champion (with a PvP build and no food). Then I tried the same with the condi Renegade and was barely able to dent a ~35% before dying.

> The problem is that albeit mace + axe damage output surpasses the sword (specially vs multiple foes) those weapons lack defensive skills, so you end swaping to either short bow (for fighting at range) or staff (to parry or cc). In both cases you will lose a lot of dps, so my feeling is that for really dangerous foes power Herald is still the better choice (better sustain leads to better sustained damage, because you aren't constantly struggling for your life). The short bow is also particulary weak vs some of those champs due their properties vs ranged attacks.

Even in fractals I find myself going down a lot. It's frustrating how few active defense skills you have as a Renegade. As in, you have zero. Lol.

It's actually seven shots. It's sort of in the name there. With that said, it's so buggy that I wouldn't be surprised if it consistently only fired four shots for some people.

It's not.

Oh, of course! I don't know how that slipped my mind. I've even been farming for ad-infinitum. Thanks man!

The problem: You are a super cool dude/dudette with a totally bodacious infusion with a unique aura that you want everyone to see, but you also have different sets of equipment with different stats.

I'm talking Moto's Red and Blue infusion levels of cool. The kind of effect only the best of the best at slamming their heads against a brick wall repeatedly can obtain.

But where oh where do you equip your infusion(s)? It seems I am forever doomed to pay an extraction fee each time I flip to a different stat set, or perhaps the ultimate solution, is to make a legendary trinket.

You are right, perhaps it really is a good idea to give a ranged weapon damage dealing potential on par with melee weapons, and to load it with some handy CC as well.

> Do you mean mini pet? Cuz that would be cool.

Torment should stack exponentially in damage, and should be transmissable via proximity. Dismissing your pet should not be able to clear torment, as this allows hunters to avoid their pets taking the damage.

1. Increase damamge by a further 800%

2. Make torment explode pet

3. Poison now causes burning, fear and immolation

4. Shortbow skills inflict poison on crit

5. All shortbow skills crit all of the time

6. When a character is downed by a shortbow attack they die immediately

7. All Holosmiths are deleted

8. Introduce a sixth skill - galactic smash. When fired, the galaxy is cleaved in two. This replaces Sevenshot.

I just started using metres, and they are unreliable af. Understandable as it's a grey area that the developers don't really want to promote. With that said, I've never kicked anyone from a party in gw2 for bad or apparently bad dps, in fact I rarely kick anyone from parties full stop. If I do it's for trolling - not chat, but purposefully pulling adds / bosses and getting the group killed. I had to do that one or two times in my wow raiding days, but honestly it's rare.

Whichever class has highest mobility. Most classes can clear camps sans players, but not all classes will reach them in a timely manner.

Warrior seems good, Spellbreaker is pretty wicked even as an open world PvE spec. It's tough to go down with all the counterplay.

Revenant is functionally decent but only because this is my first foray into condi spec. If power Herald didn't have rubbish damage in comparison I would absolutely run it instead. It's not even that I dislike Kalla actually; I absolutely positively looooathe Mallyx. How anyone can accuse Kalla of being a boring legend yet happily run Mallyx and sit there regurtitating conditions is beyond me. I may just throw him in the bin and run... And therein lies the Revenant's biggest problem. Two expacs in and our utilities are grotesquely limited. Fix Rev's fur God's sake.

You don't see me crying for fractals nerf just because I can do max lvl 16 (if that). Why should these that like difficult JP be denied that? Sure leave this ez mode version for these that can't deal with more difficult ones. But give the rest of us some challange!

That feat, in and of itself is upper echelon, even if you don't believe it, for this puzzle. I regularly run the tower and rarely see anyone else complete it even once, let alone do it so thoroughly that it might seem to be generally cake.

Why would you wish to reward, let alone associate with mediocrity?

Oh God. This is absolutely fantastic. Make the cap something ridiculous like 25 runs and give it a title. Watch as every JP'er melts down trying to achieve it.

Including expansions probably around 200 CAD. I bought the lovestruck sword skin via gem->gold transfer back in the day, and bought the SAB cloud and foefire shoulders/gloves skins more recently. I reckon I spend about $50 a year on it, I try to keep things under the cost of a monthly subscription.

Yes it is a little easy. I had it on farm a few years ago, it only took me a couple of retries to remember all the little tricks to it. The start is trickiest as the lava is right at your feet, but as you progress toward the top and begin making better time it becomes trivial. An SAB type tribulation mode would be welcome, and possibly increasing the cooldown period between attempts or even adding a small cost for each run, say 50 silver? That would give you four tries for free if you did your daily which is more than enough for anyone even moderately good at the game.

Revenant. Not enough build diversity due to a lack of skills, hamstrung energy and cooldown mechanics, weapon-swap is just a "temporary fix" that became permanent.

Steve does as Steve pleases, he knew what the player was trying to do, and just played along with it.

The Labyrinth Horror is an absolute trollish bar steward all by itself. It's unlikely anyone would purposefully aggro it just to lead it to a group of racers. If it sees you and you have even just moderate agility and are in combat, you may as well just cough up the wp silver on the spot. A player who led this prick of a mob to the middle was probably just trying to get away from it, and saw a group of players that might be able to help. Unfortunately for the victim, these players were just a bunch of douchey racers hanging about in their own little world.

> In PvE the warband stuff works pretty well. In PvP or WvW it's basically useless.

It took me an unreasonably long time to learn to play power Rev in WvW, especially when roaming. Switching legends at the wrong time was basically a death sentence, and flinging the hammer would get attention quickly. Eventually I felt like I could hold my own, but then PoF dropped. Frankly, my Warrior has always had a much easier time of it in PvP, and with the Spellbreaker it just got even easier. My Rev is used for PvE and fractals now, so the Renegade works quite well for that.

> Don't feel bad, I love it, am having fun with it, even in raids its great for a change. I reckon it still is going to see some love so I will holdout and stay true and then you watch, you will see tons of Renegades everywhere cuz we will be the next "flavour"!! ;)

I think Revenants are one of, if not *the* most underplayed classes in the game. In that sense, there's probably nowhere to go but up. It would be nice to avoid flavour of the month though as that always leads to a brutal beating with the nerf bat shortly afterward. Last night I ran a fractal and to my surprise, another party member was also a Revenant. We both did a sort of double take and I am pretty sure we got an achievement for it.

The only reason I switched to Renegade is that Power Rev doesn't do anywhere near as much damage. My Warrior can run the WvW side of things now, so the Rev is relegated to fractals. Rev as a whole still feels unfinished though.

Oh absolutely, that's why I'm a wee bit confused. I've not played condi much before now, so that may be why.

I don't know how or why, but I'm actually starting to enjoy Renegade. I must be going mad.

Perhaps it's because it took me two weeks to farm those cancerous LS3 maps for my Viper's trinkets, so I damn well better appreciate the spec?

Or maybe since I dropped 120g to sort out my runes, sigils and to stat swap a pair of ascended weapons?

I've found Citadel Bombardment to be unsettlingly amusing to drop on groups of mobs, and it has a long range, so that could be it?

The rotation is boring, but when a fight goes south the group healing and protection is nice, plus vomitting stacks of might when I feel like it might be making this whole mess more enjoyable?

Seven shot is cute when it hits, and it's sad damage aside, I feel like a boss landing the skill shot, so my ego is getting a boost and thus increasing my enjoyment of the spec?

Or maybe it's just watching those tiny yet immense numbers literally melting off bosses with almost zero effort that's just tickling me pink?

I dunno, whatever it is, it's actually quite fun!
