so ranger's dagger is on the low side of dps? unless u go condi?

2-3k damage per secound less? o.0

out of what dps each?

i'm curious, has anyone done the math for soulbeast's dagger dps vs necro or thief dagger?

how does it compare. and vs ranger greatsword.

rifle on ranger

with ranger's survival traited skills

and greatsword's utility (i'd say dagger but i'd have to give that up. oh well)

it would be great........as long as they don't screw it like they did thief rifle...aka forcing you to be immobile......in a game where mobility is key due to how short "range" is, how fast enemies get to you. and how appealing melee is.

range wars always turn into kite fights. which deadeye can't do.

keep rifle mobile like warrior rifle. and it would be golden

can anyone confirm this rune's +10% dmg works?

unlike my sigil of force, which is +5% dmg, the +10% dmg from rune of the scholar isn't showing up as effecting the dmg when i hover over my auto attack panel.

the str and ferocity are updating in character sheet, but this 10% isn't...

we got primordus, jormag, kralkatori-evil name to spell, and other other(bubbles?)

2 down, 4 to go.

and now we can't kill those 4.....because....well i wont spoil it.

Vaul wasn't an elder dragon, he was the son of Glint, who in turn was a servant of Kralka-simplifyYourName.

and we know that the original plan of doing a Pacific Rim style fking epic bash fight wont work.......

and the gods truely have left now......

if anything, the possibilities for the story are greater now than ever before. and the question of how many expansions we have is also a big mystery as we don't know how many it will take.

oh and we have Cantha. aka might be alive....or might be Bubble's slaves.....or worse. heavens knowns they got a ton of threats as is

cute charr =D

i wish they'd make it so that, instead of you "losing movement imparign conditions upon ending of kneel" instead your immune to knockback and movement imparing.

because you never benefit from the movement imparing conditions as usually your stunned or knocked back instead of manually ending kneel.

who needs eyes anyway. This little girl sees through the eyes of the undead flying lizard. its usually a pretty nice trick....unless the lizard goes boom. good news is she can see through the eyes of any of her minions. just gotta get used to seeing yourself 3rd person

ok what about runes/gems

i used to use berserker....but that was until HoT introduced to me spam knockdowns and insanely high dmg hits.

then season 3 came....and oh yay...MORE. with alot more spam knock downs on every enemy and high dmg...........i remember people used to hate defilers in Orr....and they weren't that common. now its like everything is a defiler with knockdown.

so i've tried to add durability...to survive the spam knockdowns. spam AoE. and in general....survive the undodgable stuff out now... but its made me wonder if toughness isn't working.

so is there an ammount of toughness where it has decreasing values.

or will toughness not help at all

So i'm building my characters (Reaper that relies on vamperism and condition removal. and deadeye that relies on hp from crits, and stealth to remove conditions and heal more)

and i'm starting to wonder about what i should be putting on armor. this is for PvE primarily.

My initial opinion was for Reaper to go full Soldier. Power, toughness, vitality. (basically be a bunker, switching between hp and shroud to continually recover the other)

and Deadeye to go Precision, power, toughness. (high dmg fast, but also durable to survive being targetted by the AoE spam/knockdown spam ANet seems to be flooding every minion with)

but recently i hear that a higher toughness, leads to a higher aggro. i'm also unsure as to at what point i should stop toughness, and start to focus on ferocity to help crit dmg...or vitality to buffer the armor more.

So i'm looking for advice for what kind of armor type, or type combination i should put on Deadeye, as well as runes or gems (i've looked at runes..but i'm wondering if gem's higher bonus to stats is better to go with?)

and wondering if focusing on soldier on Necro is harming me (i don't rely on condition dmg. and even without much focus on precision. i have 40% crit on greatsword)

Making an asuran thief has not been easy for me. as i absolutely adore the attire of my Reaper (theme being she's blind, and instead sees through the eyes of the tiny undead dragon (the miniature) as well as any other minions she creates.


so copying that theme for my thief hasn't been easy....partially as i dont have minions, and partially as they haven't had blindfolds (medium armor the only ones who lack that)

but recently, i finally have a new headwear that works perfectly (subpar to the necro's headgear. but this does have a very nice feathertail? (feather + ponytail) on the back.


plus...she's a sniper xD blind sniper with her spotter being an undead dragon. i like to imagine it resting on her shoulder and sticking its face in the scope to target correctly.


don't worry, after the first 3 deaths by missed shots, she's picked up a pair of pistols. that way she can hit stuff easier..........collatural damage is still pretty high though.....rata sum wont let her walk around with firearms.....freaking pansies
