Don't forget to give away your stuff!

I haven't stepped too much into LS4. Infact I haven't even touched the last two episodes. I... couldn't care for it.

What kind of team dies to a grenade barrage?

The skills will not, but the traits will. Consider not putting another one in the back of core engineers and maybe scrappers and have a look at all the damage boosting traits Holosmith has that have the grenade barrage pulling out these numbers. The grenade kit may carry holosmith, but holosmith also carries the grenade kit.

Eng, on the other hand, gets everything at all times no matter the choices it makes. Eng goes against the entire design philosophy of the Feb mega patch and needs to be re-examined and hard nerfed in many ways.
I don't know about the everything part but I'd gladly drop Holosmith if I had a decent trait line to replace it with. Right now there's no point, the trait line gives so much in comparison to everything else. I honestly had a better time playing core before February.
-
Probably expecting an overall Explosive Entrance nerf and Grenade Barrage nerf and maybe a nerf to all Grenades.
It's important that Holosmith based problems get solved by doing this.
-
I liked my Thief as a pet project, but the latest nerfs to Deadly Ambition, for PvP purposes I believe, were a huge turn-off for my weird projects in PvE so it's gathering dust until I come up with something that isn't actually so rigid to play.
As for Deadeye, honestly... I knew its very concept would end up this way since 2014 or so.
-
It's definitely not player related. I've been doing the post reset leyline anomaly for years, the lag there has been insane for at least a year now unless there's a daily that keeps players busy elsewhere on the map. It has transpired to Teq in the last 6 months.
-
I think we all get the idea, probably was just bait to attract these exact reactions to begin with. Let's allow that whole thing to sink now, especially since the report button is seemingly broken.

> This is what they deserve for just standing back and pewpewing. Running away and kiting on a ranger/deadeye that has 1500 range needs to be combated somehow for melee characters like a guardian and honestly, I'm ok with retal being one option for that. The design of retal allows a person to close that gap and not just get killed in the process. The only reason I could see a person crying for a boon to be removed from the game is because they do not have a fundamental understanding of how boon strips work. This is on you to learn how the mechanics of the game function and how to work around them.
In short, bring your own guardians stacked together in groups.

Have very few characters, mostly that engineer. The fact it's a charr diminishes the point of gender beyond having either a cute or rugged face.

Can't say I haven't tried. Or better yet "What does this have to do with pride flag capes?" haha. But you're dead right, I'm out.
-
Their snoots don't allow them to wear actual plaguedoctor masks.
-
Ah, I would be fine with the boon rip/corrupt solution against retal if it was accessible to everyone without severly hampering one's capabilities, I'm not sure I want to carry a landmine just to get rid of retaliation, retaliation that might be reapplied before my landmine gets off cooldown. Some classes don't exactly play the boon game naturally.

Refer to everything that has been posted before I even got here, I honestly can't help you.
Also, that's not how one uses the pot and kettle.

Oh I see, you're spinning everything I'm saying. Cute. I'm almost curious to see where you're going to direct me if I ask where you've seen me attacking since it's nowhere at all.
Anyways. Since long explanations with a bit of personal feedback are apparently moot I'll make it very, very short: The cape is based on a topic that is already present in the game and that is made controversial as it's been witnessed so many times, it's rejected as many times as it's forcefully pushed, so there's no place for it. Done.
Good day.

Are these attacks? On top of... I'm not sure what I'm reading I'm afraid.

People I'm really close to. Bisexual, formely part of that community, got out of it for not being enough of an activist after a while, being a fan of both Warhammer series didn't help since it's apparently automatically labeled as a bigot thing. One of them grew furious afterwards, I'm relatively patient and calm in comparison.
Sigh. Look, whatever both of us are trying to achieve, I don't want it to devolve into attacks or anything close to it. I've said my pieces and experiences, there are good and bad people in every group, and let's just agree to disagree on further topics if you don't mind?

Most of that is either lore friendly or simply festive, rarely works like the real life counterpart and is uncontroversial. Unless you are somehow against awareness and researching to put a stop to cancer?

The same way the lack of distinct "Pride" features is somehow an oppression.

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.

From a personal experience, I honestly wished.

I thought the ultimate goal of these fights for equality and gay rights is that sexual orientation no longer matters at all in the grand scheme of things, no discrimination and all, no longer a big deal, people just like so many others, and it's a success. Why try to make sexual orientation a big deal now?
>

>
> You do know GW2 has more reach than just California correct?
I do know, after all, I'm in France.
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.

It's perhaps the only time I somewhat agree with @"Razor.6392" here. I thought the ultimate goal of these fights for equality and gay rights is that sexual orientation no longer matters at all in the grand scheme of things, no discrimination and all, no longer a big deal, people just like so many others, and it's a success.

Hm... I've only changed 3 traits, the rest I wouldn't tamper with.
-Blast Shield instead of Explosive Temper
-Adrenal Implant instead of Kinetic Battery
-Thermal Vision instead of Pinpoint Distribution.
Dodging more often, increased uptime on Explosive Entrance applying barrier, more health.
Beyond that, it's important to know that when your survival is at stake, "maximized" damage output is off the window and the various CCs and conditions provided by the bomb kit, the grenade kit, and the mortar kit (and glue shot) are your friends, Applying those pulsing blinds/chills/immobs/cripples becomes a priority before you apply your stronger damaging conditions , those can even passively break some champion bars when combined with the Big Ol'Bomb.
-
Beyond the niche capabilities of the Rifle Turret's toolbelt skill, turrets are a joke, also Pistols are strictly condition based with perhaps the exception of Dart Vollet that can hit somewhat hard.
-Here's a classic:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PegAQRlZUw06YcxsoqGalO2XlvdA-zVRYBRRIG+xodiUpIMPLRcGB-w
Activate the forge, go to town, blow up with the Photonic Blasting Module. During your off time, make do with Blunderbuss, Bomb 2, Grenade Barrage, Bomb 1 and Laser Disk everytime the heat's above 50% threshold. The rest of skills remain relevant should you require to create space (Rifle 4), close the gap (Rifle 5), ot generally debuff your foes (The rest of the grenade and bomb abilities). It's worth noting that the combination of the Big Ol'Bomb and Overrcharged shot is enough to break a champion's bar on your own if it isn't scaled up.
I left the marauder gear because it kind of works but it's preferable to go berserker of course.
-And the Pistol variant:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PeABoqprlZUw06YcxsuqWalOWL5rSA-zVJYmRT/ZEnEJEFhcnkF3A-w
More complicated but perhaps safer: Throw everything you have at your foes from your pistols and kits, with the priority being Flamethrower 4, Bomb 2, Grenade 2, all the other explosive abilities all the way up to the mortar kit itself are good to apply for the various debilitating conditions combined with Shrapnel, Incendiary Powder and Sigil of Earth which will apply burning and bleeding, unloading your pistols is good too during the offtime.
Nothing up there is necessarily set is stone and if you don't deem let's say, the bomb kit to be useful you're free to replace it with preferably another kit like the Tool Kit for the shield and the wrench-rang on power builds.

I'm... glad we've finally figured it out but... how hasn't it been clear in the last 2 months? Or even last 2 years?
EDIT: Well nevermind that, Anet has concluded that the kit was the problem, not the multiple buffs stacked on top of eachother from Holosmith that buffed it.
