This is an old thread but it would help players like myself who like to play in a squad but find it difficult in certain maps because of me playing on a potato. I feel like the nameplate visibility while within a squad is adding to the clutter/lag.

Hi-ho!
I have several level 80's of varying armor weights, and I am asking for help deciding what to use them for. Below I will list my professions and what gear they're using atm. I'm interested in all the game has to offer, but want to use specific chars for specific things. I have ascended trinkets and weapons including berserkers, harriers, diviners, and vipers.
Here's what I've got -
Necromancer - vipers, duh
Revenant - diviners, been trying out alacrigade
Warrior - berserkers, probably my most boring class
Engineer - harriers, I enjoy the healing capabilities
I can swap my gear based on the feedback given here. I'd like to be competitive and have no trouble fitting into a group which my options. I have both HoT and PoF expansions, and have most specs unlocked fully.
Again, looking for advice on where my classes fit in best and what you personally find to be fun to play and where. Thanks!

But remember they like to under promise and over deliver, so I'm sure the patch will be arriving asap
-
In my opinion, as a _seasoned customer service specialist_, that **"Under promising and over delivering"** is a absolutely detrimental to a workplace's core values. It invites a slew of unproductive habits and doesn't garner rapport when stated in front of customers. Would it not be wiser to adopt **"Meet expectations and then exceed them"** as a company value? The last episode is an example of this. You (the company) saw a plea for Diviners to come to pve. You met those expectations (wishes do come true!), and then exceed them by providing an engaging way to obtain them.
I don't think you (the company) under promises at all. Your fans have seen the great uniqueness of the game and can only stand to be impressed further. I think that this is a double edged sword, because raving fans have high expectations, but, if you meet them, and then exceed them, you're gaining loyalty points in a niche crowd, filling voids in their dark, dis~~content~~ed hearts. /s

Question, what if I wanted to be condi, heal. but also provide might and alacrity?
-
This is for open world content, fractals, and dungeons. My fiance plays a thief and I've picked up rev. We're looking for set ups that compliment each other in some ways. Any ideas?

Yeah, that's what I meant. Thanks. lol

> Boon duration was the stat that was impacted most and that comment was likely aimed at people who have had to farm Commander's gear to prevent them from respeccing their gear twice. Gear with boon duration has always been quite grindy to get, and I think this was a way of warning people to not rush into another grind to avoid stress and feeling like they've been hard done by.

I suppose this all could be true. I do wish it was made clearer and not left so vague. Thanks for your comment!

It was stated last month that players "may want to avoid" changing gear. It was implied that several professions were going to get balance updates. Is there any word on when this balance will happen? Other than spending 2 hours playing the new episode and exploring Thunderhead, I haven't had the motivation to return to the game. As a player who has yet to experience a raid, I really need the balance to come through so I know what to put on my Engi and Necro. If I do it now I'm worried I'll have spent currency and materials for nothing.

What I'm doing to collect enough Control Symbols is:
(1) Buy as many stacks of superior and major sigils that are "Control" based. Cheaper options are Sigil of Battle and Sigil of Frailty, check tp. Salvage with a Mystic Salvage kit.
(2) Crafting superior sigil of bounty (the sigil that gives +9 concentration when killing a foe) because it requires an 3 Symbols of Enhancement but salvaging the sigil gives Symbols of Control. Also requires the Draconic Mons currency. Salvage with a Mystic Salvage kit.
Hope this helps someone, cheers.

A reaper with 100% Burn Duration, Onslaught, and Dhuumfire can maintain 6-7 stacks of burning for however long they can spam auto for while in shroud. This is useful in the likes of open world because on demand burst is very helpful.
-
Hiya!
The premise is to provide perma fury, protection, regen while saving some burst. the build has 3 (4 with elixir gun) blast finishers so I was debating taking soothing detonation instead of turrets and replacing rifle turret with elixir gun. The base damages of holo along with the mobility sword provides (+quickness) have been a huge help to my engie healer in clearing mobs during boss events and healing my party back up. Looking for ideas ^_^ kthanks
-
I made a build using Plaguedoctors, Bringers, and Vigilant stats, in hopes of making a hyrbid support/control build. Thanks to dhuumfire the dps is around 11k, but what I really like about this set up is that I can spam Might at long durations for allies, revive extremely well, upkeep multiple conditions (some damaging, some controlling), and provide barriers. Because the healing power scaling is so poor on almost everything I kept the investment in this stat low; too low to be a primary healer, but as a support its a fun, beefy, niche build I made to mess about in WvW and Open World content. Check it out ~ I'm open to feedback.

On the wiki I was comparing gw1 lore timetable with gw2 lore timetable and the amount of seemingly significant events happened during the period gw1 plays through.
Its really sad. I recommend anyone interested in lore compare the timetables of the two games.
-
I was just about to make a post recommending this, when I thought "Hey let me search this first".
Absolutely, yes, please. Open up our weapon sets if we aren't going to see new, interchangeable skills integrated on each weapon. Please, Anet, pls.
-
I fully agree that the "Living World" does not really feel to me like a living world. Expanding the maps available to the players, imo, is not a bad idea itself, but when it becomes so stale and expected and the story constantly pushing to a _new zone_ ; without much focus on updating our current maps to reflect the current state of the "Living World", it all feels wrong to me.
Another note - It's also not all about getting new content, but rather giving the players more control over builds, skills, you know stuff the theory craft with. That alone could really push the game into a more open direction. I imagine reworking the skill tree and equipment prefixes would give the players lots of busy-work (crafting new builds and finding new enjoyable play styles), and allow the Anet teams more time to really make marketable, profitable content - unbugged.
I would like the ArenaNet team to consider this thread very carefully. You people made a really nice game.
-
Just looking at the stat spread alone I'm kind of left thinking it'd work alright as a pve support scourge -
1. Condi main helps with Epidemic, Blood is Power, transfers and corrupts.
2. Concentration secondary is still okay for might stacking, something scourge does very well.
3. Vit main gives larger LF pool.
4. Scourge can get +450 healing power from Last Rites alone if below 50% hp, so healing power secondary isn't too big an issue imo.

I wondered what the "logistical change" was that they mentioned in that post. Totally agree with this. I'm really sad its my one day off work this week.

Thanks for the update!

Leaving the game the way it is for longer might actually help them avoid what happened to Riot, where continuous updates and balancing was done just to shake the meta and keep things fresh for the players, but also comes with a lot frustration for players because they're constantly having to adapt. Anet seems very aware of this and in order to maintain longevity probably don't mind slowly releasing patches that are actually _meaningful_.

_slowly_ releasing patches that are _meaningful_

I don't honestly see why we would need to pay for it directly, but maybe as part of a new xpac? I agree with you otherwise! hypehypehype!

Other companies roll out regular balance patches that shift the meta or freshen things up for players to adapt to. I don't feel like their designers are up to par of their gw1 devs. That's just me though. Maybe they're newbies.

Too many skills and with Factions even some could be duplicated on the skillbar, something unimaginable in a serious competitive game.

If you'd like to be technical, I'll gladly educate you on the two definitions of the word "regular" so that you will see your folly. In the context which I used it, regular = frequently. The way you argued it was "happening with the same space of time elapsed". If you're interested shoot me a message we can argue more about words and context.

scheduled per 5 months is regular, technically, but it's not nor should be the standard.
