But regardless like I said, it's just a fun concept and everyone's entitled to posting their ideas, even if they're 'boring'. None of our stuff is gonna make it live anyways.
EDIT: I meant illusion, clone or phantasm. My bad.
But...sword does have one? Every single weapon on Mesmer has an illusion. And none of the abilities summon an illusion that you've listed, that's why I bring it up.
Also, I think Mesmer has plenty of exciting things. I love OH Pistol, and Greatsword. Twirling maniacs, double twirling maniacs if you're Chrono is a blast imo.

The Focus would be main hand? That would be a first wouldn't it?
Also, none of the abilities have a phantasm effect, so I disapprove! I love me Phantasm's. And the skills sound...not that exciting.
Collapse Reality sounds like it would look cool.

I hope it gets fixed. It has some really awesome abilities.

I just want a Skeleton pet based Necromancer, thats all I want. With more active based pets, and controls.

Honestly I don't even know what they are implying anymore.
All I know is, my suggestion "should" not be difficult as long as the game is coded in a semi-realistic way. But I can't see the code, so alas.
That being said, balance is a totally different issue. One, which I don't think is an issue (Already huge imbalances in the game, this really wouldn't be changing that fact) . The weaver, is though.

My DD's staff behaves very differently from an Ele's staff, which staff should they use? I'm not sure how that applies to other classes, as I haven't used them enough to know. I do know that a Mesmer with a GS does something completely different than what a Warrior does with the same weapon. If every weapon behaved the same way on every class, this wouldn't be hard to do at all, but they don't. To use the great sword example again, Warrior, Ranger and Mesmer all use it, but it's a different weapon on all three classes, based on the skills it gives.

> I play it? I equip weapons on characters, and observe what skills they give when I do. I notice that different classes get different skills for the same weapon types, and I know that's down to how they're coded. I don't have to have backend knowledge of the game, this is observable on the user level. A staff on my Weaver performs significantly different from a staff on my DD. I don't have to have any understanding of game code to notice this, I simply have to equip the weapons in question on a spec that can use them to see it.
>
> So, when I equip a staff on my DD, I don't get Ele skills. Why is that? Because the game is coded to read "DD spec, assign skills a-e". If it went on weapon type alone, then Ele would get DD skills, or, since Ele was in first, DDs would get Ele skills. Instead, the code checks the class, and assigns the appropriate skills for allowed weapons. That it's coded based on class is observable by the classes that use the same weapon, but get different skills accordingly. It doesn't matter if it's Core or Elite, that's how the game handles weapons.
So you're making this all up as you go, got it. Well I'll leave you to it then.

Just out of curiosity, how do you know how the game is coded?

I'm honestly not even sure what point you're trying to make anymore? Its confusing.
A weapon is literally just a variable in the code, with an attached graphic, and an attached animation.

- My biggest thing, I want meta events back. Big epic map wide events.
- Hopefully the devs leave roads alone. Kinda sick of enemies being on every inch of a map
- Another PVE siege map, with some more solid mechanics
- Weapons being untied with elites

I have several issues with GW2 crashing. This has been going on for a year or two now, usually causes me just to quit. I'd like to stick around this time, so lets see if anyone knows.
1. The screen will flash black several times, and the sound will go away while this is happening. Then everything comes back normal, and I can continue playing. Happens randomly, found no pattern.
2. My entire computer will freeze, and the sound goes berserk. Forced restart is required. This happens only once a day or so.
3. Game crashes, and complains about my video card drivers.
----------------
Now, before the usual "Update your drivers" complaint, or hardware issues. A few things to note, this ONLY happens in GW2. I can even play Star Citizen on max settings with barely a hint of FPS drop, and plenty of other modern games, and heavily populated MMO's (FF14, WoW, PS2, etc).
I have also updated my drivers, and since this has been happening for awhile, I have been through several iterations of drivers. Not only that, but I reformated my entire computer, wiped it all. Which also means i reinstalled GW2 from scratch.
I have also monitored everything I can on my computer hardware wise. Temperature, voltage, etc. I have found zero faults on my computer. My computer also is a 3.2 GHZ i7, Titan X, with 32 gigs of RAM. GW2 is also sitting on an SSD. Also tried underclocking my video card even, without any noticeable difference.
Also, when it crashes, GW2 does not provide a log. I've checked the areas that their support area mentions, and there isn't anything for whatever reason.
P.S. The way this forum formats DXDiag is pretty sweet.
-
I think it would definitely benefit GW2 if they released a "complete" version.
As for the whole "How dare someone get a better deal than me", that is silly. The game wants to bring new people in. As someone whose played since beta, bring on the new players. Fill out the world more. Give people deals, hell if I care. I will never understand the whole getting triggered over someone getting it cheaper than them.

I would put money down on weapons not being hardcoded to classes. This is just another myth, like WoW's initial bag slot.
I have yet to find any proof that anything like this at all is hardcoded, plus it...doesn't make sense for it to be hard-coded.

Pistol is literally just because I like the magic missile shot, and the followup on the Illusion. That's it /shrug. Thanks for the input

We already have several weapons that are reliant on elite specs and such.
Anyways, I think an elite spec that changes how Staff works is completely fine. Or just rework the whole thing, I don't care either way.

I agree with all of this.
1. I'd pay a lot of money to have skeleton skins over my minions, I'm just not a fan of the abomination/Frankenstein type Necro. Rats just cheap looking skeletons, or even zombies. Bone Fiend skeleton archer (Would prefer 2 though). Shadowfiend is fine. Flesh Golem could be more of a Death Knight. Blood Fiend could be a Skeleton Priest.
2. Staff needs a huge rework, and making it a MM stick sounds perfect. Both from the "Herding" lore perspective, and because its 2h.
3. The only thing I like about the skill tree is the poison rat synergy, about it sadly. Still hate exploding my rats though, doens't feel good.
-
So, to say first, this is the build I enjoy. I'm not looking to compete in PVP or extreme raiding. I'll definitely take some feedback on the Wells I've chosen if someone has some solid feedback. What I'm really hoping for, what kind of stats, runes, and Sigils should I be looking for on my Chrono? I may have a crappy build, but I'd like to at least make it as good as possible.
Gameplay wise, I mostly stick with Greatsword. Shattering illusions before I create more. I'll switch to Sword/Pistol during GS cooldown and shoot the pistol a bit (Seriously hope we get dual pistol at some point), but I'll switch back the moment the switch cooldown is done basically. And the reason for the clone spawning signet, I feel busy enough with all my other stuff, that this passive felt solid enough, and my whole build is around spawning illusions/clones.

As someone who does some programming, and doing plenty of architectural IT work. Not expecting to change things like that, is very much so an oversight. Also, I am unable to find any proof of what you're saying is true, so I'll just choose to not believe that the devs would do something like that.

I didn't even think about the Weaver, and how that would force them to deal with that on every single expansion. That so far is the biggest argument against this imo.

I would literally be amazed if this was true, and dumb founded by lack of foresight. Do you have proof of this hilarious oversight by the devs?
@"voltaicbore.8012"
You're correct, balance does come into play whether I want it or not. I just don't think any of the mixes would particularly outshine plenty of things in the game already.

> But who knows ? Maybe that is the big plan. Nerf the ES so hard so that in the future you can play whatever spec with whatever weapon (with the exception of core spec using ES weapons obviously).
As far as I'm aware, there are only a couple specs at most that would cause balance issues. I don't believe that is enough reason to remove a fairly significant amount of playstyles. PVP can keep their restrictions if they want, I don't do it lol.
Also, should have mentioned, I'm totally fine with the Elite Specs unlocking the weapons. So you still have to get the expansion, and still have to get the points to unlock the weapon. Hell, I wouldn't even care if its required that you fully unlock the entire ES before you can use the weapon for everything.
-
To me it seems silly that Elite Spec weapons are still tied to Elite Specs. Sure, the weapons obviously benefit from those specs, but there are weapons that I far prefer to continue using with other specs.
My two big examples is, I LOVE the Necro's two handed sword, and I don't want to lose it just because I want to try the new ES.
And if Mesmer actually manages to get a main hand pistol, I DEFINITELY want that, but I love Chronomancer so much.
I just want to play with the weapons I want, while using the ES that I enjoy the most. And I don't particularly see a reason for it to be forced like it continues to be. My damage might get hit a bit, but I'm a super casual, so don't really care.
-
I'd still rather the Necromancer to feel more....like a Necromancer before it does a Demonologist. But I very much do like the ideas.

Shadow people eh? lol. Here I am, just wanting to spam undead minions heh.
Revenant is the least played profession. Heres how to buff them

My only complaint about Rev is how squishy I am. As someone who does Sword/Axe for teleports and fun + Shortbow, I feel like I die more than even my Mesmer in Berserkers.
