Lol. This is nowhere near delete :D Actualy it might be a buff for some meta builds

Ok. Guys dont panic. I am chrono main in raids and this is my favorite chrono patch since phantasm changes.

Uptimes will be the same

Events (tc, escort, spiritrun...) might be more dificult without shatters for stab/condi clense/alacrity/quickness

Cc is slightly worse

Distortion removal means no more shake distorts (sadly) and more planning is required for blocks - reward for good chronos.

Dps diference of good and bad chrono will be higher because slow uptime will increse your dps even more.

You'd need to remove the _reason_ why people are interested in that performance. So, basically, the only way would be to reduce the difficulty of the content. Only when your skill level won't matter for the completion chance, and won't significantly impact completion time the other players will stop caring about how good you are. The more impact your skill has on those things however, the bigger the number of players that _will_ care. And the stronger their reaction if they'll think you're dragging them down.

Well. Here are my reasons I use arcdps:

1) templates. I will not play without them. It makes each boss 30 seconds+ longer

2) to see if the changes I made for my rotation improve my dps or if that was a bad idea

3) to see power level of squad so I can chose best strategy

4) to kick players that are under chronomancers.

I dont care what build players use as long as they dont have any toughness and they deliver. If they dont then I will kick/leave no matter if they have meta gear or not.

In your calculation you forgot about human factor. Even with best gear 2 players will perform diferently.

> The complaints are ridiculous, really =)

Be it raid selling, multiple weekly raid clearing with different accounts or still farming shorter fractals with a coordinated team comp and the list goes on and on.

> The amount of gold you made with Aquatic was absolutely not in line and I can't take people seriously if they cannot see or even understand this.

With the daily login it is definitely more than 800g per month - a huge number that most of the players will never own or maybe once or twice in their whole GW2 career.

> Additionally there's the factor fun involved. It's very questionable that open world farming people are loving their work. On the other hand playing a little bit of challenging content (fracs, raids) with friends, guild mates or in pugs has always been very interesting and motivating - for me at least. If that's not the case you should really ask yourself what life has left for you.

Diference is that daily fractals are timegated. They offer very high rewards for the first clear but after that they are not worth it usualy. Raids are the same. High gold for first FC but then it provides almost nothing.

On the other hand brainless farms like sw provide huge value and doesnt lose value with time. Tryhard players will profit almost the same as almost afkers.

I used to be part of tryhard fractal 40 guild when it was possible. At that time you needed to be on less then 3 minutes per run to earn more then doing sw. 3 minutes was nowhere near doable for pug groups and so farming f40 wasnt worth it for most players. We were doing it under 2 minutes so it was worth for us. It required dedication and skill (otherwise pug runs would be able to do it right?)

Then they changed this fractal because it was too lucrative for farmers. For 90 percent of players it was less lucrative then sw but sw wasnt changed and f40 was. Shortly after this I stopped doing anything other then raids simply because other parts of the game are not fun with this mindset.

So I dont know that there were such farms. If I knew that this existed I would do it. That beeing said I am not supriced that it was removed at all.

This farm requires good team coordination, great knowledge of underwater skills, rotations and putting high effort all the time to be able to complete it as fast as possible and make it efficient.

Exactly this is what anet is saying. They said it before when they reworked f40. I would argue that underwater is nowhere near balanced so maybe they changed it because of this but i doubt it. They want this game to be for casuals so tryhard players should earn the same as casuals. Their logic.

Its the bigges waste of time and thats why I only do raids and kill multiple bosses multiple times each week. If you do/did it for the gold then you play bad gamemode.

Acualy I like that change since now I can salvage all bags at once and dont need to open 10 at the time. Actualy I used to store my bags in bank because i was too lazy to open them like that. (So no gold) After this change I opend all of them and let my copper-fed eat all of them. Took some time but I made some gold (and some gold is better then nothing)

Obviously that comes from experiance. In my guild I am the one tanking. In the last phase after cc end I move imidiatly to the end of another tile and i place wells there. Never use them on the move but on the spots where you are still. You can calculate speed of party and use wells on the move if you belive yourself but it is not needed. Moving there is laround 2 seconds even with 60% bd you can provide way more quickness and alacrity then 100 percent uptime.

If wells dont reach full potential on your allies then it is usualy their mistake. They are staying on wrong position.

It seems as a good idea but it is much less efective then you think. There are 2 reasons:

1) signet of inspiration is not affected by Boon duration. That means that each 13.3 seconds both chronos extend boons by 6 seconds. That is almost half of required uptime so your bd is only for the other half needed.

2) quickness stacks 5 times. If you get 6th stack of quickness the shortest one is destroyed. If you have higher boon duration then stacks will last longer and you will destroy more and longer stacks. Overstacking can easily happen after continuum split even without timewarp. 2 wells of action and 4 tides of time and you have 6 stacks already. If you have high bd it can happen that you use less stacks before spells become ready again and you will lose another stack.

> Yeah, understandable but I guess you are not pugging. People that pug should realize that pug groups are going for the (safe) kill. If players have a different view they shouldn't join in the beginning and watch out for "Wxyz speed run with xyz" (example) or make their own group like people that want to do trainings shouldn't join a full/wing clear/usual boss kill group. Speed runners would save themselves and the others in the group a lot of time and nerves if they just stick to the goal of the commander/group. I had a few Gorse attempts in the past (100 LI groups or so) where people were whining that they had to take the last updraft. It was simple: they joined the wrong group. Needless to say that those were responsible for the wipe and after they had left and replaced by another player the kill went smooth (still) with last updraft. It's disgusting if people make their own rules in squads where they have no right to do so.

> Also your example is quite exceptional.

> On the other hand I would totally take power classes on Matthias if I know/see I have competent players which is possible when you killed Sloth and Trio with the same players before. I mean with condi classes even non-speed statics kill Matt with 3 minutes(?) left on the timer so there's enough room for non-optimal builds especially if it's not important to have to play as little mechanics as necessary due to having 2 strong healers in pugs.

> Additionally Matthias wouldn't fall into Yasis description since there's a lot of time for swapping out classes after Trio.

Yes I do pug and I expect the same thing. I do not force players to swap but I will. If they cannot w8 for me to swap then they can kick me and w8 for next player to join. No hard feelings.

I am not saying that optimal picks in speedrums are bis in pug runs. I wouldnt run rifle deadeye because it depends on the squad. That beeing said pug runs have their own bis options. If you refuse to w8 for me to pick something that will help us clear (because lets be honest but pug runs can be very bad and my optimal pick will give the squad advantage that they might need not to wipe) then I will not brother with you.

For me it is not about the kill. I usualy play supports so my switching is gear and traits most of the time. That beeing said I would never take power tempest for mathias and if someone would say that I shouldnt swap i would left.

For some players (like me) it doesmt matter how long is the full clear but howlong is the actual kill time.

I suggest warrior since it is always needed in both raids and fractals. Alacrity renegade might not be needed in certain compositions.

I rather like the Lich (Arah Dungeon) skirt/leggings but have been disappointed with the large undyeable regions of the gloves and chestpiece. Plus the sleeves are too full rather than having the tattered look that I liked in the skirt. Or I could scrap that entirely and go with Egyptian-inspired or insect-themed look — I do use the scarab backpiece already. However, I don’t think the metallic elements of the various Elonian armors can be dyed, can they? I would love a very natural look, perhaps with some sylvari armors mixed in, but I haven’t found a combination that feels right.

She is currently attired in TA Dungeon chestpiece and skirt, Illustrious mask and Masquerade mantle and I like this look from the front but not from the back, unfortunately. Maybe there is a back piece that would cover how odd the mantle and chestpiece look together here or maybe I should start from scratch. Currently, I’m using shades of white/celestial, rose and various gold to go with the devoted staff. I almost like her look... but am also open to changing any and everything to get the feel I’ve wanted her to embody from the beginning.

Well, I dont know what am I looking for. I know that I dont like bulky shoulders, boots and gloves. I would like something that cover most of the skin (having naked arms bellow shoulders works because it feel nornlike to me but naked belly for example is not a good idea).

This is like my renegade looks like now: https://ibb.co/HqzwDSX

I am here. What I ment by practical was no spikes and no stripper. It can have magical/fictional elements but it shpuldnt ne over the top. Some spikes are ok but definitly not armagedon set. What is too much is too much.

Well, if you are looking for most optimal comp this certainly isnt one.

No spotter and probably no spirits to start with. Fury can be problematic. No imobilize for gorseval for example and so on. One druid and dps alacrity renegade is decent healing. Also if onefirebrand is chrono you dont need ashigh BD on other clases

This is not the answer to your question but the way I notice portals is with sound. If you get ported often try increasing enviromental volume.

I recomend mirage and DH. Mirage is meta on all condition bosses (both torment and confuisionis not represented on golem) and dh is very strong versetile power dps.

Rly? You mean like berzerker heal? Chronomancer have a great heal if you play style that requires you to use heals. With mistrel your well of eternity heals for ~12k. I know that it is not imidiate but if you play tanky then dieing to oneshot is not supposed to happen (in combination with your blocks).

I am not interested in pvp/wvw so my knowkage there is limited but if something is dead it cannot kill you. Signet of ether provides burst. If anet buffed any heal it wouldnt metter because only signet of ether provide damage.

Even if that is true for pvp/wvw op was also talking about pve. In pve i almost never use any healskill on any proffesion unless it provides damage. Generaly for me openworld is easiest for me as mesmer then any other proffesion because i can never die and also everything dies way quicker with boons i give myself

In pvp/wvw almost noone would use another heal because soe provide burst. It doesnt matter if your target have brain or not. Blocks are not racist and work either way

I will tell you about my heals as a chrono main. I use mostly signet of ether and i use it for damage. In openworld basicaly everything dies before it reaches me to my phantasms. If something reaches me i have many blocks and evades.

Mesmer doesnt need healing. It would be much wiser to give better heals to ele for example.

During trio raid encounter on last boss you can chain block/evade/distortion bedorethe boss dies to its burning. Where is the need for heals?

I think there are 500hps in hot maps. That should be enough for both elites
