I am at similar state right now, you can buy 5 map currency, thats 50 days if you buy it with volatile magic. 10 days if you farm each 5 hearts in those areas (you need 2,3 hours per a map). its just too much grind for mount that you will sell 30euro skins soon. This is worse than legendary weapon/armor grind.

250 map currency is just too much, 100 would be appropriate. If you think that you will populate ls4 maps again, you are doing something very wrong. I will never touch those maps again after this.

I just cant farm anymore I am exhausted. If I ever finish this i will never do anything in your game again...

so enjoy another timegate cause you need 250 ls4 map currencies, locked by 25 daily so 10 more days xD i hope this mount has some legendary status with legendary skin cause everything seems like legendary farming... You did this anet, half of your playerbase hates you.

problem with this mount is that you actually need mountain to climb higher cause if you dont have it you will glide really fast to ground zero height. Griffin is much better cause he can go higher without climbing and sticking to a wall. Pretty much I screwed up, i should go for the griffin cause dragon sucks. Griffin is faster, he can fly forever compared to dragon which does not fly forever nor glide forever without sticking to a wall (dragon cant fly in gw 2 - such an irony). They need to change hes flying bar to have more stamina or 3 bars, and climbing to use less power but climb faster (its a helicopter for gods sake).

I got sick with timescale skygating mount, so if i want griffon do i need to do all mount masteries cause i have only raptor and wvw mount, do i need to do stories or i can abuse rented scyscale to complete achievements for griffon (cause you will need bunny for most of them i think)?

dont care about gold I already bought Bolt for 150€ converting gems to gold. so this 250 gold for griffon is nothing to me. I hate timegating.

> @"Zushada.6108" said:

> Do you go to work for free? Do you go to a restaurant and demand free food? No. The game is giving you the OPTION of obtaining a FREE mount under their terms. With Griffon it was 250 Gold and Collections. This one is free and you have to put in a bit more work at a predetermined pace. These collections are not arduous; they are really easy and they encourage you go to different maps, complete events and work towards something fun yet OPTIONAL.

>

> I really wish everyone would stop complaining about this and move on and enjoy the game. In LW3 we got Aurene and it required full story achieves to complete plus a bunch of wasted Xunlei Ingots. I literally just finished that collection bc I could not get the 2 achieves from the story in Bitterfrost (stay unfrosty and under 5 mins) so I put it aside for a while and did something else until I had everything I needed to craft it and the achieves done. Those who did not bother with LW3 map and story achievements had to do a lot more work on maps with low population at times; plus they had to complete the second collection and get the required T6 mats.

>

> Understanding that LW3 was a Leg Trinket, this is really no different in principle. For those who use the argument "I only play an hour a night" the good news is that we do not need to get it all done in one night so the argument is irrelevant in this case. Right now, we have 7 mounts in this game and we really did not need another one and if ppl think they cannot get on in this game without the Skyscale, then they really need to reconsider if this is the right game for them. Everyone please, stop complaining about the timegate and realise that you are upset over a couple of collections that apply to an optional part of the game -- and it is just a game.

Dude comparing work and this is just wrong, and its not free you need items worth 200-300g to get it, so its not free. (plus we dont know 4 and 5th day timegated grind)

You forgot two things, final item for skyscale is 750 gold, new skins gonna be 30€. Prepare your wallets.

Thats why i play SWTOR now, much more fun than this. 10 patches in a row were nerfs. Dont expect them to balance anything than spirit weapons or signets :) cause nobody at anet play dps guard, only bot heal/support.

you still arguing with this dude obtena who has no clue about Guardian class except to troll you around? man you ppl are persistent xD but gg :D

I know this doesn't negate your point, i just think it is worth pointing out, since i have already commented on Core Guardian and on Harrierbrand on this thread and said nothing about PvP Radiance DH.

It does have, cause this nerf doesent hit you that hard cause you dont have any skill for high rating pvp or wvw. From my point of view a plain casual like you have no right to talk about nerf or buffs cause you dont even play this class properly at high level pvp or wvw...As someone previously mentioned you have no clue and live in your own reality I am stopping this discussion with someone whos max rating in pvp was gold 1 probably and under 300 lvl wvw.

Can you tell us senpai whats your rating in pvp? did you ever played in platinum? Did you played anything than support guardian in wvw? Or you are here just to mock your fellow guardian players? If you are playing deadly casual and have no worries if something is nerfed or not why are you here, you clearly dont help to improve guardians just saying in every nerf "its justified, white-black, good-bad, tomejto-tomato".

Guardians (especially FB) got hit like truck last patch with 50% tome nerf, this patch core guard (and every guard spec) was hit like a truck with again 50% nerf, next patch its probably DH time to nerf traps by 50%. So you are saying this is all justified while I dont see many guardians in high level pvp.

> Yeah, they broke it when they made RI give 50% crit rate on retal a long time ago ... but you didn't have a problem with it then did you?

So if it was broken why did you use it then, and not mention in every post how is broken? and now when this was nerfed into oblivion you say it is broken? Man I am reading every post you make, its non constructive, with every nerf that comes there is you saying it was broken, so why are you playing this broken class then, abusing its powers for 2 years or you are just here to flame or troll?

This nerf destroyed good builds that were not brokenly OP like some classes like thieves and mesmers are.

"• Righteous Instincts: This trait's critical-chance bonus has been reduced from 50% to 25%."

hahahahahahahahahahah so do we have any dps builds now or they want guardian(DH, FB) to be full tank with 0 dps?

Glad I stopped playing when they nerfed tomes.

What? Spear of justice? lol i just negate it with elite mantra dodge your traps put spam f1 tome and you probably are gone by now.

Never lost to DH in wvw, only Mesmers(Mirages) and Condi scourges giving me trouble. DH is free kill.

Full metal Firebrand

> Is it really so horribly bad? I often wield longbow when doing living story for example and to me longbow is often better ranged weapon than scepter because it can kill most enemies faster, even though it has lower sustained DPS. Longbow allows pretty easy and clean kills and shines in HoT maps where most enemies are glass cannon and die to Spear of Justice -> True Shot "combo".

lol try this build in wvw or pvp, I can oneshot you with autoattack.

gandara is garbage for 1 year now.

try this:

25sec is "some" CD lol. You are no guardian main, thus me no longer talking with you. Enjoy next balance patch spirit weapon and sigil buffs and praise anet to the heavens cause of it. Cause of casuals like you guardian will always be bot friendly and not used on high skill level content.

LoL OP? While mesmers/mirages still oneshotting ppl. Yea good nerf, as I said, time for wow, my class is getting buffed there.

I dont get it, its fucked up in wvw now also....30%-50% cd increased...what the hell, while mesmer stay still op as fuck in wvw. . Anet you have no clue, back to world of warcraft it seems. No more money for you from me.

i got it now, Gandara server, disconnect every 10 secs.

When are we getting dx 11 or 12? Even older games like Planetside 2 and World of Warcraft have thos or gonna have in few months.

this is garbage, they should make this guardian baseline not a DH.
