Eramonster.2718

Not sure how it will help tbh :frown:. Automated/ match making role call LFG? Automated but not so different from an odinary LFG function.

- Squad will still kick an inadequate player joined using the match making LFG; what then?

- What if a player have multiple class alts, does the system have role call limitation? Disadvantage if the player can't list down all the roles s/he can fill.

- Squad can't look for specific roles if its an open match making, can't avoid the wait time even if its made possible.

Fb & druid looks promising and above the rest atm. Chrono still sorting it out and have yet to met any warhorn tempest to make a comparison.

Just things to note for this build. Soulbeast stance can't be extended aside from Leader of the Pack trait. If a party already consist of a boon healer/chrono, having a 2nd/3rd support is undesirable. A dps SB provides dps with stance share. Hence, might face difficulties going with self survival with stance share.

I know about vipers and I find vipers is to squishy it goes along with zerkers assassins, and anything that is meta. Meta is nothing more than ppl looking for the highest numbers possible and not caring about anything else like survivability.

Just some ideas. Weapon wise its best to go shortbow/axe+warhorn for PD's condi as power weapon's damage will be negligible. Shortbow for cripple and stun, axe over sword(practically obsolete here) to go with warhorn. Consider using Iboga as pet for un/merged, pulling foes and dropping confusion puddles etc.

Dropping Nature's Vengeance seems right, since won't be utilizing spirits. Consider dropping Wilderness Survival for Skirmishing(for Spotter and Light on Your Feet). Taste of Danger is not practical for this; firstly, already overstacking vit which will probably amount to 7% ish worth of expertise(0.5second of condi if you're lucky) and the rest are just 'meh', as you discovered already the build doesn't contribute much to damage.

As oOStaticOo.9467 said above. A druid or other classes will and can do better with boon's sharing. Stance share is unique but not worth investing with fixed duration and allies only benefit a small portion of it.

Is this for PvE or WvW; Objective in mind when you're making the build? (Eg. Power or Condi?)

As for the question why there's no dmg - the setup is too spread out. You're using weapons which favors power but you're leaning more to survival and condi's trait and gears. Will need more direction/info before going futher (traits and gears). Try getting Vipers instead of Plague Docs stats if youre planning to go condi damage.

(i) easier and cheaper alternative.

(ii) more impact on damage compared to W.Doc (healing is a low priority for SB)

Just words I heard circling among my guilds and friends. Stuttering in crowded areas especially Divinity Reach, entering combat, freezes and game crashes in fractals etc.

Symtoms seem to fit and removing arc seems to fixed the problem(probably needs an update). If removing arc doesn't help, then its another underlying problem for this case.

Remove arcdps, heard its giving problems. Including its D3d9.dll file (its overlay). Google how to safely remove it if you're not sure.

With Sigil of Inspiration now not effected by concentration, Mirage can support by extending existing boons. Talking about 20k+ dps semi-support, 1 button swap and not messing up rotation (dodge :lol:).

The new trait is a straight up buff. More burst/damage for hammer, can't find a reason not to like it even if warrior is not my core main.

- Hammer skills now inflict increased damage on any disabled target, not just those who are dazed, knocked down, launched, or stunned. This trait now grants adrenaline when the warrior disables a foe, regardless of the weapon the warrior wields.

**+20% dmg** and it works with soft cc (crippled,chilled etc imo) in addition to that, the trait works outside of hammer(multipurpose). :kiss:

Need more clarifications:

1) Spirit weapon treatment as in dissapear after a single cast with charges?

2) Keep 'buffs' as in boons and current passives(eg. Frost spirit +5% dmg inc) and adding a new active?

3) Boons are not unique; makes Option 3 a straight nerf, so no thanks.

Dps chrono and fb :tongue:

Uh....at worse, another meta will take its place.

> Storm Spirit: This spirit now grants fury for 1 second instead of swiftness for 3 seconds on each pulse while this trait is equipped.

Buff. :smile:

Since most Might is from Grace of the Land. :neutral:

Buff. :smile:

> Water Spirit: The regeneration duration that this spirit grants has been reduced from 3 seconds to 2 seconds while this trait is equipped.

No difference since Regen with the longest duration overwrites shorter ones all the time. :neutral:

Nerf on Sun Spirit (Vigor) and Stone Spirit (Protection) :anguished: :anguished:

Chrono? Or Mirage?

Any specifics? Its kinda a choice?

Too early to tell, but depends on group's setup and how heavily reliant on chrono for boon upkeep.

What caught my attention atm is the change on Signet of Inspiration. Its impact on Aegis and is the duration effected by concentration(Rip?).

If the OP is asking will the comp work(?) Yes it will.

OP comparing the comp setup with another in mind? Pro and cons?

Jade Maw will shoot it's beam faster too after the first phase...felt that way imo. Difficulties aside, it's a boring fractal. *With a record of me dozing off 3x so far(fatigue plays a role but still... :frown: ). Needs a more lively music and a different beam sound :tongue:.*

:lol: Then they're aftering the wrong target market or fail to comprehend players that type '-sell' knows what it is and shows no interest for it.

Mirage is top in solo roaming. Expect nothing less from the duelist king :smiley:.

Followed by Spellbreakers, Soulbeast, Deadeye and Guardian.

**Spellbreakers** - The changes in sigils revived a vanilla GS build. Difficult to be pinned down with endure pain, resistance to mobility cc and access dashes. Don't see them often, yet :smiley:.

**Soulbeast** - Strong burst, extremely versatile and one of the few with access to unblockable. Only a handful can bring out its full potential(un/merging). Mainly popular for their 1 trick pony burst, failure to down their target after usually leads to their demise :lol:.

**Deadeye** - A predator without a shadow! Extremely patience and persistent by nature, perma stealthing waiting in camps for the right prey. Listed under endangered, due to having difficulties in securing *tanky* build as prey and the emergence of Soulbeast :tongue:.

**Guardians/Holo** - High burst with blocks and invul. One of the least played in roaming but be cautious around them :smile:.

Would be funny if the Soulbeast holding the dragon banner is the first to die, for being glass in a zerg :lol:.

Seen good, bad and terrible roamers out there. It's more important to know the class than relying on a build.

Zerg fight is different compared to roaming/duel. Killing 1-2 is enough to win in roaming/duel. But it takes more than that to collapse a zerg. What works in roaming, might not for zerg fights. Boons eg. Protection and such.

OP could organise a party and not allow(or limits) anyone in it to use boons. *Personally tried it and letme tell you its not pleasant.*

Can easily come up with reasons against OP's idea eg. Limits diversity by hindering some classes viabilty. Much more difficult to find reasons to support it :frown:.

> @"Israel.7056" said:

> Inclined to agree but I also know that it would just make things like firebrand even stronger

I see what you did there :lol:

Need more info tbh. Could be the Ranger outplayed Holo. 6k sounds rather high too...both side glass?

Invisible with deceptive positions :lol: Arkk's name plate at one corner on the platform(nearby a pillar) while he's invisible in the middle. Extremely confusing, since it's incoherent with the blue beam to face away or get feared. Deepstone :lol:, can be extremely messy, hilarious at the same time.

*Silent Killers * dropping Flux Bombs or Corporeal Reassignment because their avantars are invisible (the indicators on them invisible as well). *Sigh*

Only had this issue for Arkk once in a while, but notice its getting more frequent(4 days in a row) and branching out.

> @"zealex.9410" said:

> Also no, dont tie it to fractal god, no armor deserves year+ of fractals when the raid armor took 7 months or w/e.

Not to have it heavily gated. Eg. WvW's Sublime Mistforged requires 2k WvW rank! :astonished: a skin surpass Legendary. Thus, hope not costly for players just aftering the skins for those with no plans on getting Legendary armors. Uses existing material sink (enough with new currency and trash drops *cough * Legendary Spike.)

*Then there's X months for a full set of envoy depending on raid progress. Raid resets once a week vs fractals which can be done daily.*

Raid Legendary Armors might be attractive and bragging rights; a year ago, but nowadays it's just meh... just too common now(as if it's standard uniform). More for convenience like some has said. Player's will not salvage them due to the stat and runes swap function. Transmuting the Legendary Armors is as low it will get unlike Ascended which most probably end up being salvaged.

A nice skin that last(for a long period) will suffice for me. Not against the idea of adding more legendary armors outside of PvE Raid, WvW and PvP, just hope it will be less costly :smile: for players just aftering for the skins like me. Truth to be told, inches away from transmuting Legendary Weapons into "better"/matching skins countless time by now.

Player's a avantar(s) too. The effected player won't be able to see warning indicators e.g. Corporeal Reassignment etc. which leads to unnecessary wipes(in CM). Restarting the game client in attempt to fix the problem and hope the problem won't reoccur after login is tiring. Fustrating because there seems to be no end to this problem as it's still reoccuring and there's no news for a fix from dev. Really appreciate if we can get a reply regarding this issue :smile:.

This problem seems to be escalating lately. Arkk and his minnions(S.O), Amala(T.O), The Voice(Deepstone), Skorvald(S.O) and very often together with players avantars (mesmer/mirage).

Here we go, again :expressionless:.

There's a difference between "buying and selling" with "donations". There are plenty of incidents with donations in real-life and in-game. (Eg. Players got banned for receiving gold donations). Not a pleasant experience for sure, and sorry for bringing it up.
