Facet of chaos is still -4 for me , but i can see facet of nature is -3 now.

Elders force seems to have been turned into a minor trait with +1% damage per boon.

And we still have forceful persistence, its a GM trait in glint now.

13% on non herald legend upkeep and 4% per boon in herald.

Regeneration seems to be choice in the first tier for glint as its another boon to stack.

Such facetnating changes, will certainly take a while to consume.

Is the shield any better now?

*shrug* just incase. Who knows, maybe they suprise us. I felt i might take the chance, herald after all is plagued by severely underpowered and uninspired shield abilities that noone wants to use. A prime target for a buff in the rework.

Kalla have the same problem, people just not seeing nor noticing the buff area in the sea of effect spam.

Created an ascended shield in hope of serious improvement.

How long was it since the last major balance patch? Just to have an idea on when 'our' patch might arrive.

OP, i think you are confused. Theres already no mount and no gliding zones around jumping puzzles.

Herald needed attention badly, because core revenant was designed around the herald traitline. With a quite obsessive focus on boonfarting.

everyone is only begging for greatsword because of twilight.

And that is why racial spells is a bad idea. Breakbars is not an useful example as its not tied to a race.

jewelcrafting have kind of lost its purpose with ascended jewelry so freely available.

Bad idea, it would open a can of worms. Then youd end with like you are useless if you arent a sylvarri engineer or an asura elementalist and so on. When racials have been worthwhile, Anet have been quick to nerf them to the ground.

Imho, they should just be removed. Heck, Revenant cant even use any!

never had that happen.

bad idea, you can learn all of them over time.

Sword/sword is generally only used in berseker builds with shiro/glint or dwarf/glint

For renegade you use mace+axe and shortbow.

I just hope that the eventual third espec will be better made. not expecting much to come for renegades. just too many design issues.

farm tequatl and hope for an armor box drop. Salvage it. Problem solved.

Raptor is better for short distances, and it is better at avoiding damage than the beetle. Though the jackal is the best of it of the 3 of them.

> Probably a stupid question, and I'm sorry for asking, but what's the purpose of the raptor when the Griffon is better than it for long distance travel and can also fly across gaps? Is it just for the high damage engage?

Raptor is much faster than the griffon on ground. But the griffon have it much easier with snap vertical ascent and crossing short to long gaps, which is pretty much why I never use the raptor anymore. Sure the griffon is slower, but its just so much more versatile movement wise.

elementalists well needed to be bought in line, remained outliers for far too long.

interesting, so jackal is actually faster than raptor.

Beetle is a fun situational mount. If it started with full stamina, it would obsolete the raptor.

But they improved it, so that stamina doesnt reset when dismounting, only slowly draining.

hot is a lot less obnoxious with mounts. But i strongly recommend maxing out glider mastery.

endless repair canister is the solution
