Because it would make most stuff strictly tied to the sub. And if you don't want to commit to a sub/limited time convenience, you're screwed.
I suggest you enjoy this optional sub on other games you play them on. Leave gw2's monetization system be.

I did have my settings at high. And it was fixed with the latest patch.
Also, settings dont affect removing the entire backpiece. Only some effects on it.

I really don't like that this will have barrier. I know you guys are working towards support warrior but I think barrier on it will be overkill on top of it's innate tankiness. Just my opinion.
> - Master:

and lastly, this. Dwayna save us. Can this be looked at before being released? This is too much. Imagine a weaver cast a dual attunement skill and applies barrier to himself. He cannot opt out of not having barrier but he will suffer the next 5 seconds receiving 50% more damage from a warrior, not to mention that teenee tiny amount of said barrier.

Oh this. Their story was the one that pulled my heartstrings during the vanilla story.
Tonn really loved ceera since he won't stop talking about her. Then he died, we told ceera what happened, her response:
"the war can go on without Tonn, but I can't"
damn you ceera!!!
Also the way the VA delivered the lines, you can feel the sadness and anger of ceera during the whole encounter.

While in grothmar valley, I noticed when you unsheath or sheath your weapon, your back piece will disappear.
Anyone has this problem?

Anyone else feels the new aurene brand looks like flint lockwood's spray on shoes?
Not a fan of it :s

IMO this would lose the flavor of the skill. It would just be a generic nuke that you thoughtlessly press. I suggest bringing the numbers from near to far closer to each other rather than making it same.

Increase swiftness duration from 10 seconds to 15 seconds. This skill becomes a blast finisher.

I absolutely hate the thought of having barrier on this skill. It's really I don't know...out of place?
> * _Sight Beyond Sight: Increase the radius of this ability to reveal hidden enemies up to 600 range away._
> * _Quick Breathing: Thinking of kicking re-working it a bit to pair with the warhorn skill changes so they feel more cohesive. Continues to increase number of targets for warhorn skills from 5 to 10 and causes warhorn skills to grant an additional boon instead of reducing the cooldown (Fury for Charge and Resistance for Call to Arms). Grant +120 Concentration._

Oof.
Never happened to me. Maybe a hardware problem? Or a driver?

> Might and damage reduction on corona burst is a double nerf which makes this skill probably useless. 300 Range on shockwave sounds horrible because you give up your movement with this skill. Shockwave is supposed to be used as a long range cc to set up a burst or cc chain, it is easy to dodge because of it's slow animation. My recommendation would be that you should look into a special mechanic of the holo the heat mechanic.The skill could work like this: 450 Range under 50% heat and 600 Range over 50% heat. This would require you to manage your heat more probably and not just spam skills. PLS NO 300 RANGE!!!

> The problem, as others have said, is that the game's cleanse has grown to match the power creep of Mirage and Scourge condi builds, but condi engi's condi application is stuck in 2013. Thus, the only way for it to deal damage (currently) is to land its burst over and over and over and over until the opponent's cleanse is finally exhausted minutes later (or the opponent has enough cleanse to last indefinitely and then you have to run away or die). That's why it needs so much defense right now.

Bad argument. The problem with most people is they are always looking to other profession 1:1 while disregarding the profession as a whole.
For example, you didn't take into consideration pistol is a 1 hand weapon while LB is a 2 hander one.
I am not saying your are wrong, I am just merely pointing out please refrain from dragging other professions when discussing skill balance and such.
What Classes do you enjoy outside of gw2?
in Professions
Posted
Sage tree from ragnarok. It was basically antimage with spellbreaker and land protector. And since it is an antimage, it doesn't have aoe damaging spells unlike counterpart wizard, instead it has aoe spells that buff elemental attacks. Can also be built to be a melee mage.
Enhancement shaman from wow. It's basically an elemental melee mage.
Discipline priest from wow/scholar from ffxiv. I dont know why but i really like to have shielding as healing.
I wish we have more access to support with barrier to fill that shield healing, unfortunately i dont like the flavor of being a necro.
