She's gonna survive, but as a golem similarly to Blish.
The timing for Blish's introduction and her disease relapsing was prob not coincidental.

Accusing me of spinning what I'm saying after incessantly doing it yourself to fabricate a false pejorative to be upset over is pretty rich, I guess the saying doesn't apply since I haven't done it myself yet.
A matter that has no business being controversial was made controversial by people opposing it for personal reasons instead of logical ones. And it's still going.

Pot meet kettle.
I was pretty specific as to what I'm referring to in my last post.

Pride isn't present in the game, and the topic wasn't controversial until your ad nauseam and unrelated personal experiences started making it controversial. :p

You started it by attacking a group of people and proceeded to use false stereotypes to get a flimsy point across so :shrug:
Don't feel surprised when people reciprocate the same respect.

I'm sorry you had an unfortunate experience with the community, but I don't see how this has anything to do with pride flag capes.
At this point I'm not sure what we're supposed to agree to disagree on here, everytime you reply you fling an entirely different argument or personal experience, it's starting to feel like it's a personal grudge against the community instead of the actual topic.

Lack of pride features is not any more oppressive to lgbt folk than lack of christmas featuers would be oppressive to christians. Whatever point you might have is completely drowned out by you being this disingenuous.
On that vein, let's also not celebrate christmas, jumping puzzles are the worst.

> Well, I'm afraid that these folks have appropriated that for themselves, it's attached to everything Pride I'm looking up so far, and I went really far. If it's really freedom of expression you're looking for, that's kind of what we do right now, I'm not sure it has its own flag. To celebrate it with Pride without giving it a weird political stance would be seemingly impossible thanks to people involved on both sides of the coin.
"You didn't say it, but I'm gonna attribute it to it anyway because my Google search is giving me false flags and I'm mentally incapable of not generalizing".

Pride very much evolved into a festivity as well.

> And here we are. Discrimination. Here's a personal thing: I was put in a certain community by people because of my heritage, yet said community deemed me too "white" for their tastes, the common thing these judging people have is that they're idiots, and I clearly didn't need them anyways. What you call discrimination I call it idiocy and we will always deal with idiots, and honestly screaming "oppression" when dealing with idiots is just petty, I categorically refuse to do so.

> Minorities (on the LGBTQ side) are already widely accepted, the few stuck up stragglers who may not simply don't have the means to "oppress" unless it's on a very small scale, and if so, they're beyond unimportant. Hunting and (ironically) oppressing every last one of these idiots until they acknowledge and validate and cheer your flamboyancy will only lead to the reverse since you're doing the exact thing you don't want people do to to you. You know, liberty and all that.

> Lastly, sexuality isn't personality, it's personal. I'm not showing it alongside of what I do for a living and my major points of interest, strangers don't deserve it, it'll come up in certain discussions that are closely related to it among friends and that's it, if someone is bothered by my sexuality RIGHT at this time, chances are he/she will still have me around because of everything else that I am, and if not, well, probably not worth having around me, so far the latter is very rare.
How does a pride cape hunt and oppress bigots? I'm not sure where you're drawing these conclusions from, it's a constant shifting of goal posts. My focus has always been on celebrating freedom of expression, which is ultimately what pride is, and it's not necessarily exclusive to LGBT folk.
Lastly, personality isn't a thing you can police, sexuality is a part of everyone's personality and how they choose to express it is none of my business, and those people you keep strawmaning probably have more nuance to their personality than what you're giving them credit for.

> I said "Imagine a world where one could state that they didn't care if a cape was added or not w/out being accused of aligning with an abuser,". This isn't hyperbole, the first reply to this thread immediately following the post I linked in my last reply is a personal attack on me as "aligning with an abuser" simply for being neutral on the cape. I get it, "But my narrative will fizzle and die if I can't make it all about what I think you said, or wanted you to have said, instead of what you actually said". Too bad? Perhaps it's because your narrative is flawed? Perhaps it has more to do with attempting to assign a motive to a comment, instead of accepting it at face value? My "concrete example" is in this very thread. In the post immediately following the one I linked. Here's a copy/pasted version, to prevent any future editing:

> So, how slippery of a slope is it to claim neutrality about a cape, only to be greeted with that post? Reading comprehension is essential in a medium that requires reading for communication. So either you didn't comprehend what was said in that post, or, which I find most likely, you understood it perfectly, but took it personally that someone isn't kneeling at your personal kitten altar, and feel the need to lash out? Is not having a cape discrimination? How many other sexual orientation capes are there in game for you to make that claim? None, you say. Well kitten, there goes that narrative, right down your slippery slope, right?
Cut the pseudo intellectualism, it's not impressing anyone.
I'm not gonna take credit for what other people say to you, that's their pejorative, but despite claiming to be neutral on the matter you still came here and felt the need to try to invalidate a request with wonky slippery slopes that may or may not happen.
I have no idea what the point of your last paragraph is meant to be, it just reads like a bunch of jumbled nonsense meant to be provocative, but it only makes me think English isn't your first language.

Because there's still discrimination? Crazy thought.

The persecution complex is pretty strong on this one. Historically speaking games that have gone "woke" and a vocal minority tried to lash out against ended up exceeding expectations, so no, "get woke go broke" is nothing but buzzword gibberish.
You also wouldn't be forced to use it, and sexual orientation isn't politics, jesus.

Dueling, as well as an option to auto-decline them, would definitely be a welcomed addition for people who like doing it to pass the time while waiting for spawn timers or events without having to teleport to a completely different zone to do them.

While it would be a good gesture, it's probably going to come off as taking advantage of pride for profit, unless they made it free. The anti-corp "woke" types already have enough to get paranoid after.

Be grateful that you don't have to instead of being a dirtbag to people who could not always freely express their sexuality like you did.

> And as my final post in here for the night. Majory and Kasmeer's relationship does nothing for the story. It's especially odd given that it's the only recent romantic relationship I can recall having direct attention drawn to it in the personal story. But a dev or writer somewhere wanted it in, so it's in. I'm not saying that's bad, but I find it humorous that some people seem upset that part of the community wants a male couple relationship with a little spotlight but don't seem to have an issue with the fact that Marjory and Kas's relationship is seemingly only relevant because a writer or dev wanted it to be relevant. (For probably similar reasons certain people want a gay couple represented.)
So how come gay relationships need to be introduced into the story with surgical precision and it's always "filling a quota" while straight relationships are abundant everywhere you go and nobody bats an eye.
Just let it be, relationships don't _have_ to serve the plot, in fact they rarely do, it's mostly used for emotional resonance.

You do know staff/lb druid is a popular counter to SB/Scourge right?

"It's not a problem for me so it can wait"
Yeah, what a bunch of a-holes. But that's reddit, sharing badly drawn art is more important than a dying pvp scene.

Marshal weaver here we go bois.

Maybe not something so extreme, but we definitely need more skill plit in spvp. Pvp devs need to have the liberty to tune skills in a way that doesn't break conquest in half. You simply can't balance pve and pvp simultaneously, you're making your job harder for no reason.

/facepalm.

Spellbreaker got massive team heal, massive condition application power (not just copying but full on apply), has the greatest ranged DPS in the game, teleports the whole map to their target, has the longest stealth ever (which pulses), can attune itself to 7 elements (take that elementlists), has even stronger turrets than Engie with better gadgets, AND they can kick 5 chuck noris's kitten

Are you okay? lol
And when did I not want something nerfed? Quote me.

Sounds like my first game as a Spellbreaker
* Make a Warrior for the first time ✓
* Copy the first cookie cutter metabattle build you find ✓
* Spam Fullcounter and Bursts on cooldown on both weapons ✓
* Use Featherfoot's Grace early and often ✓
* Stand next to necros or mesmers for insta Full Counter condi bomb ✓
....
* Contemplate my 500k~ damage done and 30% team damage for virtually no effort ✓

You hit the nail on the head, all this talk about Weaver being "complex" and offering an unique playstyle was pure nonsense, dual attacks are super generic (Okay let's see this one comes from mixing fire and water, so this ability will do fire damage and chill, genious!) and don't really offer anything new or situational, you're just using it because everything else is on cooldown.
I hate to be a downer but I had so many great expectations for this spec.
-
I wholeheartedly agree, I keep swinging my sword like a crazy person and not actually hitting anyone. Dual attacks are especially problematic.
-
People have been complaining about point size being too small which allows specs like Scourge to sweep through teams like nothing and you're considering aggravating the problem even further?
I was expecting some sensible changes like reducing point contribution for PvE objectives.
> @kKagari.6804 said:
> I think mid could do with a few more pillars that you can line of sight ranged attacks with, if the point gets smaller. Like Temple's mid point.
The only thing heavy LoSing does is push ranged builds out of viability, which is something we can't afford right now given the current meta.

That is definitely not the only thing people are saying, I'd suggest being a bit less biased while reading.

Your best bet would be to have your team alternate with you, nothing says you have to be the one to take on every threat right? You probably have better use of your prof than to battle out a bad match up.

It's not like clones don't provide benefits to the Mesmer either. There are pros and cons. What is so hard about either baiting full counter or waiting till they use it to attack? If the warrior just ran into a team he will likely use it pretty quickly. 1.5 seconds later have your clones shatter on him.

But that throws your "just don't trigger fullcounter" defense right out the window, since it's guaranteed to trigger if the Warrior has any sense and stands in bad on purpose.
