Stab does literally nothing to immob.

Well, you're still immune to any CC, you have an extra 10k hp, two extra dodges, plus slightly faster than swiftness. I would say that it is still good for what it offers.

Superior rune of Orr: 25% condi duration reduction

Various foods: 20% condi duration reduction

I mean, seriously, you need more than that? With all the cleansing utilities and sigils and traits, too?

Same thing happened with boreal weapons, where people threw em in mystic toilet or salvaged them and it turned out they were needed to make the illuminated boreal weapons in the next episode. Devs made it possible to repurchase one of each crafted boreal wep by paying a minimal amount of gold and iceshards. It wouldnt surprise me if the same happened here, as well.

However, veteran players who claim they don't have 16 spare slots don't really make much sense, either. I mean, the weapons came with a warning, how anyone could not pay attention to that and free 16 slots on various chars on a single account, is beyond me...

Scourge still has a role in zergs, despite the nerf. Barrier and massive boon corrupts are still there. The good thing is that more classes are viable now, reaper for example since the fights shifted to more melee oriented pushes.

Banner user should have all utilities and F class skills locked. Banner damage has been nerfed, but not enough.

I was playing with my Necro that I am working towards getting used to and enjoyed. However when I check metabattle, the builds are very glassy. I was thinking of adding some toughness and vitality to increase survival.

Big shades? No. Just take feed from corruption, survivability will shoot through the roof even on full zerk. Bloodmagic? No. Just no. Scourge has enough barrier as it is...

Bjora marches has none of the mentioned features . Drizzlewood coast is the "wvw flavored" map, which is really hard to play if you don't have flying mounts or any of the fast mounts. The various huts/poles etc exist for achievement purposes only and add nothing to the "wvw" experience. The whole map actually adds nothing to the actual wvw experience.

Meanwhile, the real offender here are the absurd stacking damage modifiers of ranger, but let's speak about the broken warclaw instead ...

> Yes, but why should it be like that? I don't want to hop between maps, and across characters.. I still need to do the Meta in Istan as well. Kralkatite Ore should be accessible and farmable on the map that is it's currency. I am just frustrated that the method supplied by the game does NOT work as intended. It's buggy and extremely difficult.. and it should not be this difficult. (remember, Bjora and Eternal Ice was not even around until a few months ago).

> All they would have to do is make the Meteor sites active until the next one fell. You can only mine it 5 times anyway, so not as if you could over farm it or anything.

> maybe off-peak game play is not wanted or desired.. but then.. why make or play an MMO? Isn't the whole idea to be able to play when you want? I am just annoyed.. i don;t think any other collection item has been this difficult.. even Aurora was easier than this, and that is saying something.

The map is old. People used to maphop for meteors and quartz, and farm kralka on multiple chars/day. Anet just added more ways to get kralka, which is good and prevents burnouts in a map that is certainly much less populated than 12-15 months ago. You can also buy the quartz off tp.

Or you can choose to farm a map that is semi empty (apart from meta time) and get what you need at a much slower pace. Oh, Anet also added ways to get ls4 currencies with the various seasonal festivals, too.

*Cough reaper cough*

This is a typical behavior from people who aren't happy with the 95% of the content catered to them, and think somehow that the rest 5% that's targeted to other players somehow.... Ruins their fun. People who never ever step foot in wvw and complain about "GoB acquisition OmAgAwD sO hArD" when they wanna make a leggy .

Next week maybe. Or in 3-4 months

I hate to be "that guy", bud, but this game is 5% about wvw/Pvp and 95% about pve, where Necro Is a complete meme with all the nerfs it has been getting.

Moreover, guard and Necro have always been the backbone of every wvw squad composition in large scale fights since the game came out. If you talk about the incoming shade rework, there are plenty of similar threads on this

Lol at blobscourge run blood magic in wvw

Bud, I personally live in 2020. Do you somehow live in 2021?

You may wanna recheck that math of yours

PoF (hence scourge) came out in 22nd of September, 2017. Bit hard for the spec to... Dominate for 4 years.

(I may be offtopic here) mount rentals should be a thing in wvw for new players, till they get their own mount.

The only amazing thing is the return of pirateship meta. So sad. Such a huge step back

I main Necro and I can quite honestly say the shade change is absolutely horrible.

Just delete Necro. Problem solved.

Save em for when some special reward track appears (eg Drizzlewood track)

I spent around 300G on craft ascend for nothing, just wasted the cash and so far 0, nada, nothing crafted. Seriously this game craft system and end gear(ascend/legendary) are kinda outdated, in my opinion they should make it easier specially for new players.

> The world has changed they need to update the craft system asap, **AT LEAST** adding new items on crafting. There are a lot of items to craft legend/ascend the players don't need/use who could be sold to help other player to craft his item or help them to make gold selling what they dont need.

If you spent 300g on asc crafting and got nothing, the mistake lies with you for bad management. Craft guides are there, you can ask guildies, you can ask in LA and people will still help you
