_Tempest, Scourge, Firebrand, Druid, Scrapper, Herald_: Am I a joke to you?

Different opinion: This isn't a bug, and is working as intended.

No PvP in OW PvE. That's what WvW is for, which does need more support.

No. No. No. Just to clarify: No.

My only problem is the consistency of the immunity. Either all breakable objects should be immune, or none. That being said, given the large amount of different objects that would need updating throughout the game, I imagine it would be a significant undertaking for a minor issue.

But all I got back was "lol whatever. you do you" which I assume means they're certain I'm wrong but not interested in discussing it any further.

This, right here. Guild Wars 2 combat mechanics were (and I believe still are) unique among MMOs.

On another note, what's a backline and where can my Longbow-camping, lazy SoulBeast find it?

> Good luck with your request.

Since they insults everyone who disagrees them, they'll need it.

As for the actual premise, I would much rather developmental resource be put into something... better. Like actual fractals and revitalizing dungeons.

If you still want to deal reasonable damage, I would recommend a mixture of Diviner's and Crusader's for power damage. I would also recommend Force and Accuracy for sigils.

Your rune choice would then depend on what you want more of, support or damage.

Druids in Guild Wars 2 are the Ranger's support spec. If you wanted damage, either core or Soulbeast would've been much better. Soulbeast damage modifiers, in particular, makes Longbow's Rapid Fire and Barrage very potent skills.

As well, core and Soulbeast have the ability to support allies with stances and spirits, though to a more limited degree.

Off topic, but by the Six, Zhaitan is tiny... Then one remembers he was still able to raise Orr from the ocean floor. How'd we kill him again?

No.

So... It seems the correct answer is "All of the above." I like that.

You forgot another group: Those that just don't care.

And for what it's worth, I'm in agreement with everyone else, systems fine as it is.

Agreed. How can there be a 'solution' when there's no 'problem' to apply it to?

> Personally, I want a class with high cooldown high impact skills (30-180 seconds), so I don't have to feel guilty about wanting to use my autoattack.

I would love it if auto attacks were better, too. On the other hand, the balancing issues for power damage alone from increased impact & cooldowns makes my head hurt... I mean, think of the burst potential!

I think the main reason was to avoid adding them to PvP so that they could be suitably 'powerful', and heroes got caught in the crossfire.

The reasoning is not mutually exclusive, though. It can be out of habit and respect that you refer to someone by their official title, retired title, etc.

No, thanks. The leveling system we currently have is better.

I'll be honest: I wouldn't mind them nerfing Marksmanship because I only take it for two major traits anyways. Now, if they nerfed it, but reworked the minor traits for Opening Strike to be useful, that would be awesome.

Disclaimer: PvE Carebear

Echoing what the others have said, running "Search and Rescue!" is the best option for leveling. Otherwise, your build and gear choices do not matter as much as they would at level 80.

That being said, I would recommend taking Nature Magic and spirits to support your friends as needed, while using Skirmishing and Wilderness Survival along with shortbow to deal condition damage. You can do some very nice DPS, run a tank pet, and help keep your friends alive.

> Not sure about that. You can build up a lot of Bleed stacks with flamethrower, so you can still benefit from general condition duration rather than just extending the duration of Burning. The scrapper/juggernaut build also has the potential to stack up boons - getting +100% boon duration can mean you self-generate 60% Quickness uptime.

The Runes of the Flame Legion are good for the additional power damage. I'm not sure it's worth trying to get 100% condition duration unless you're going full conditions.

As for boons, Diviner's would work with Juggernaut, but you lose any sort of condition damage. I don't remember any condition-focused gear that includes concentration, either.

Nothing, as I won't make one.

Some of the things people choose to be annoyed about... amuse me.
