I raised the same point years ago with it not scaling to the extra toughness added when using minions. Was told it was intentional.. Why I was neverinformed.

That rune only increases off the base/ armor/weapon/trinkets toughness. Was always like that I believe.

same, started after patch Tuesday. Took awhile but managed to change them one at a time but afraid to try again. Thje populate all option is what seems to crash now.

I just checked Darkness roaming in hbl. The loss was noticeable. I use Darkness for the damage, chill and blind. Its a great softening agent that negates inc damage giving you a window to unload on your enemy. Still is beneficial just didn't have the omph it had before.

Just checked in WvW and it seems the nerfed isn't that noticeable. Ran a new power build and the uptime for Golem was good even being focus by long range SB. Will try the MM later

Ya my thoughts were they would work like the templates , always had mystic forge node and a copper salvage in them so never tried armor or weapons. Also I never said it was misleading, just not stated, to me inventory is inventory.

WTF is "clouding"?

Server nite just ran a mesmer zerg, spent all nite wiping the Golem gangs.

I like mounts and gliding, no reason to change either. I constantly roam and defend and never been impressed with banners, although it is funny when you see players die to dragon banner because they dont notice it and stay in the field.

Face it. No matter what they do with balance or alliance or anything else there is going to be bitchin and crying. Best we can do is find a work aroundto have fun. I f we cantdominate in zerg fight then roam and havoc. Outnumbered all the time, learn to defend and back cap without dwelling on the fact you are losing.This game is like life it is what you make of it. Have fun and learn to laugh.

Necro minions were nerfed for being used the way the runes are being used if I remember correctly.

I'd maybe buy more the first time around (potentially about 4000 gems, which would last me about 6 months based on past experience) then wait for another sale before buying any more with real money. If, after a year or so the sale looks to be a one-off I'll probably go back to buying gems as and when I need them but if sales are happening reasonably regularly (twice a year or so) I'll probably only buy during sales. > > > > I think it really comes down to how quickly most players spend them. I know some people talk about buying cheaper items like dye kits or black lion keys with 'left over' gems after getting whatever they actually wanted, or converting them into gold, just to use up the remaining balance. If that's more common than saving them it could actually work out well for Anet - players would buy gems during a sale, use them buying stuff they wouldn't normally consider because it's cheaper, then buy gems at full price next time something they want comes along. > > > > I have no idea what the long-term impact on the gem to gold conversion rates would be though. I think at first a lot of people would convert gems to gold and the price to do that would go up, causing the price of gems bought with gold to go down. But of course if it dips too much lots of people will start converting their gold while it's cheap and it will go back up again. If it was a one-off sale it might not have much impact but if it got to be a regular thing I'm not sure what would happen. > > Yeah, i'm not sure myself. But i think it's better if the gem price is discounted and they just discount gem store items sometimes like they did so far. > And that's true, you'd see a lot of flippers buying gems with gold cheap and when the gold price goes down, converting those gems back into more gold. > Idk if i explained that entirely correctly, but you know what i mean. Buy cheap, sell high, ??????, profit lol. > > Does all that even matter? We are paying REAL money for VIRTUAL. Who honestly cares if someone in a game has more fake money then you? When I buy gems its to treat myself, if I can do so cheaper I am all for that. I dont care if another player can walk around saying "I'm rich you know" ingame or irl. I can still kill them ingame and laugh at them irl. News Flash all currency exchange rates always favor coercing players to use rl money to purchase ingame crypto.

Saw that a retailer is offering a 20% discount on gem cards for the Holidays, would be nice if Anet would mimic that thru the TP. Being a virtual currency whose production costs are practically non-existent the loss of profit per unit by applying a discount would be vastly overshadowed by the increase sales volume.

That being the case do I never go into shroud or am I in shroud till the LF is gone? Like I said it's easy to see with Reaper and based Necro but not so with Scrounge.

Ok, but how do you tell when you are in shroud and when it ends?
