And I wanted my warrior to have no crafting disciplines, but I accidentally clicked "make me an armorsmith" while trying to buy stuff from the armorsmith NPC (I often use crafting stations as banks). So now she's an armorsmith.

Also, my Eternity is transmuted.

Whenever I see someone post a roaming montage I just kind of roll my eyes and ignore it, because once you've seen one, you've seen them all. They edit out any fights they don't win easily, and they dub over the whole video with a cringey and/or meme soundtrack.

As someone who doesn't have these things, but would like to have these things, I'm all for reducing the ridiculous grind a little. I don't have the kind of free time it takes to finish diamond every week at 4 pips per tick. And considering I only gain 10-20 ranks a week (depending on what servers we're up against -this past week was pretty bad for WXP) getting to 2k from my meager 92, will take literal years.

If you're getting hit for 25k from death's judgment, then you should probably stop playing glassy builds. Granted, I don't bother dueling thieves (or mesmers) because they simply have too many escape tools and are generally a waste of time to fight. But I've never been hit for 25k by anything.

As someone who has rarely stepped foot into WvW until recently, I'm in the opposite situation. Getting the mats for the rest of the gifts is easymode. But getting the wvw rank/skirmish tickets for warcry is going to take me a year or more.

Who cares how many enemies are there when you can always pick one and kill it with no issues.. "Skilled 1vx" more like no risk 1vx.

I dunno. I lost to a daredevil earlier today. But he +1'd me while I was fighting a herald.

I'm pretty sure Hizen can make soloing bounties and meta events look easy with any profession. Take a look at his most recent weaver video...and the spellbreaker video before that...and the firebrand video before that.

They will go up for purchase next week. People who buy the supply drop package get one a week early.

> The Warclaw is already one of the fastest mounts, topped only by the RollerBeetle in pure run speed.

This is not true at all, both the jackal and raptor run faster than the warclaw, before you factor in their respective movement abilities.

Also, the beetles base movement speed is affected by the pitch of the terrain you're rolling on. On level ground the beetle is only about as fast as the skimmer on land.

> @"DemonSeed.3528" said:

> It's still faster than by foot. Faster than non-pof. Is it the speed that bothers you, or the leap?

Only when in your own territory. In enemy territory it's barely faster than a player with swiftness (before taking leaps into account, but any decent roaming build will run circles around a warclaw in enemy territory)

So, why didn't they just give renegade a greatsword?

> @"GeneralBM.5781" said:

> As @"DonArkanio.6419" mentioned, this change wasn't meant to increase the dps of searing fissure, but to more front-load the burning of the skill since no one stands in it for the full duration.

>

As a PvE player, my issue is that the new searing fissure deals less damage in total than the old searing fissure. More front loaded damage is nice for pvp, but they didn't also need to reduce the total output of the skill.

Guardians are better key farmers despite the lack of swiftness/movement skills. Mounts make getting around between story instances irrelevant, and you're not forced to do much running during the actual story instances, aside from collecting the medicine from the bandit hideout. When it comes to killing stuff in those early story instances though, guardian with GS and sword/focus blows warriors out of the water.

> And don't even try to deny it. I've been doing HPs since HoT launch, both solo and in HP trains on all nine professions, so I know every single one of the encounters by heart. There were obvious "adjustments" to their difficulty without disclosing them in any of the release notes, at least in the last year or so.

>

> Before it was possible to solo at least four HPs in Tangled depths: troll, inquisitor, guano vampire and the bloom. Now I can't out-DPS or even outlive any of them on any of the professions!? How is that?

>

> The combat log numbers also simply do not add up. At least the troll and the inquisitor have received a significant buff in toughness and probably vitality which makes the encounter now impossible to solo, given the amount of adds around every boss which were obviously buffed too. Condition builds can't bring down the vitality of the bosses quick enough to avoid getting killed by them or the adds and power builds do way less damage due to toughness increase.

>

> So I am curious... Why?

I soloed these 4 HP as a condi renegade just a few days ago. You're just not trying hard enough.

> @"Konig Des Todes.2086" said:

> I pretty much stated this. The fact that humans are non-native is Anet's reasoning for why humans don't have immunity. If anything, it would be humans that *do* have that immunity due to biological differences in species. Of course, with parasites rather than germs, there should be no immunity anywhere.

In the real world, it is very much possible to develop immunity to parasitic infection. In many malaria stricken regions of the world, large numbers of people are "immune" to the condition. They still get the parasites, but never develop any outward symptoms. This is also true for most regions where house cats are common. If you own a cat, you are probably host to the Toxoplasma parasite, and don't even know it.

In this context, I'm not sure someone could become "immune" seeing as the scarab larvae physically consume their hosts from the inside, but it makes sense that a species foreign to Tyria (humans) would be more vulnerable to local Tyrian diseases and parasites, as they wouldn't have developed an immune response like a species that evolved alongside the pathogen.

Most parasites aren't very picky, and can infect a multitude of hosts, across many species.

JayAction refers to PvP content where renegade is sadly a pushover with its huge tells that lets everyone and their mother evade whatever spell you tried to pull off. If all you want to play is open world, fractals, dungeons and raids, feel free to play your renegade.

>

> As you mentioned, renegade is the strongest condi DPS in PvE on STATIONARY targets, especially on HUGE hitbox, but in open world, fotm not so many foes are totally stationary, even bosses will jump around, and most of them are small hitbox, which also is renegade's weak side, from what I read, renegade only shine in raid environment. And it seems that not so many players like group a condi renegade in fotm? I'm not sure though.

Why give it up? My renegade tears through open world mobs/group events/champions faster than my power reaper or my DH, due to more AoE, and more consistent DPS (DH has excellent burst, but its personal dps falls off significantly without access to alacrity) The only time a condi renegade feels subpar is when facing things that are immune to conditions (destructible structures in core tyria) or bosses with a lot of phase transitions which prevent the renegade from getting its dps rolling.

I played condi renegade in T4s for a long time, and no one ever complained. Though due to fractal bosses being small hitboxes (generally) and having lots of phases, it certainly wasn't optimal.

You don't. You cast citadel bombardment instead and instakill the cauldron because of the wonky way the projectiles interact with things on walls. (Unless this was fixed)

I'm betting Choya themed surfboard. Projectile skills now fling choya at your targets. Blade trails/footfalls are splashes of ~~salty tears~~ seawater.

This is the most boring boss ever. I'm really glad Anet decided to never reuse that fragility mechanic.

What's the point of running a full harrier renegade if you couldn't keep the rest of your team up?

What?
