All they need to do is give us Smoke Assault period.

It makes no sense that Rev's signature skill bugs out like crazy all the damn time.

If anything bring the rev skill in line with the warrior one, or bring the warrior one in line with the rev one (50% of its damage of course for obvious reasons, since it does 100% more with a boon rip)

Maybe make it a 0.5 coefficient which deals 50% more damage per Boon ripped up to 200%.

I’d be curious to hear any roamers who run around in celestial chime in to talk about their builds, assuming they exist. It’s a fun stat set to think about.

Running Celestials means coming to terms with the fact that yur build isn't meant to win fights, but outlast fights.

So in the end, it returns to what yu are intending to do in WvW.

If yur goal is flipping/holding camps, Celestial builds with a strong mix of offense and defense will be a great choice as the stats allow yu to sacrifice kill pressure for survivability, and coupled with trait choices, could make yu extremely hard to kill.

If yu aim to gank players, Celestial is pretty poor at doing that other than to drive the opponent off.

Celestial doesn't make yu a 1vX god either since yu are unable to apply kill pressure, yu can't actually force anyone down and take them out while keeping yurself alive.

Playing against skilled players is another factor here : a skilled player will know how to break down a Celestial build after a bit of fighting and will chip yur health down to force a heal before going for the kill.

Burst =/= Power

Best bursters are any build that can stack that condi up almost instantaneously and let the DoTs do "Bursts per second"It has been this way ever since 2 years ago.

We do not need heal trait buffs at all.Alot of heal traits right now already outright overshadow actual healing skills.

What we really need right now is for healing skills to be actually worth using again, because right now there are so many healing skills which are so bad because their base healing is bad and their coefficients after the nerf made it worse.

Depends if yu want Power or Condi.

Thief can be played both but Engi's pistol is horrible with Power and doesn't feel satisfying in any way.

so like Ancient Echo, but slower energy-restoration and better effects?

Same idea but functionally, stronger.

Being able to DPS with Upkeep like IO or EtD for 1 drain for 5 seconds is actually pretty neat.

I'm pretty glad Aurene has grown.

But she has grown way too fast, way too soon.Now I just want her to die before she is used as a literal Deus Ex Machina.

Imagine if she absorbs Jormag and Jormag's consciousness destroys her own, and now Jormag is in control of Aurene's body with the power of 4 dragons and a god inside them.

That would be a great plot twist I think.

Anet : I'm going to nerf healing.

What really happened : I'm going to nerf healing for people who previously had mediocre healing, and also double rip for Warriors cos Warriors are dumb lmao.

Honestly Staff is better in my eyes because it is unconditional positive bonuses just by having Staff equipped.With the mastery, yu gain alot of bonus Power as well as some Endurance Regen just by having Staff camped.

This also means more Boundings which can also translate into more damage as well as consistent Bounding buff.

If the encounter requires more rough dodgy movements, having more dodges is always welcome over having bars empty needed for Havoc to activate/be optimal.

There is just so much gain in using Staff Mastery that unless yu aren't using Staff as a main weapon, there is no reason not to pick it.

@Blood Red Arachnid.2493 said:Holosmith loses the elite toolbelt skill. Reaper Shroud burns away twice as fast as regular shroud. Tempests get increased attunement cooldowns on overloads. Firebrand loses the instant-cast virtues for their books.

Firebrand has no trade offs, just mechanic alterations.I don't know how anyone can see 15 extra spells as a tradeoff.

Honestly if the player is new and trying to do their best, Raiders won't give them too much trouble.(Though I really recommend newbies to raids to join learning groups)

The ones which Raiders really hate are the fools who :

1. Are new
2. Refuse to use a meta build despite being new
3. Argue with the Raiders after point 1 and point 2 has been engaged and refuse to accept that "no, we are not gonna accommodate yur nonsense" as an answer
4. Proceed to whine and cry about how "Raiders are being toxic and never give newbies a chance"

How to reduce this problem?Simple : Record the number of kill each player has on their account.Use the LFG and have a new filter to filter how many kills yu want or expect yur party to have achieved.

Necromancer for me.I liked the whole Minionmancer idea until I found out it was pretty meh in high level content.

Then I found out that Power Reaper was not only durable but also does alot of damage on demand, and can solo alot of open world challenges, so I hopped onto Reaper and built a really self sustaining Berserker build revolving around Death Magic and Spite.

I go pure CC now and just win through CC chaining.

I literally Kicked someone to death after they mistakenly used their Stunbreak and Stab skills early in the fight.

Between Stomp, Kick, Bull Rush, Shield Bash and Full Counter, yu can fight anyone who is stupid enough to go all in.

That being said, Signet of Healing is a meme now.Just get a proper low CD chunky heal, like Mending. (which is great because it's also a Physical skill)

I have mentioned this before in another post : I think Orbs should be reworked together with Staff.

1. Combine Staff 3 and Staff 5, give Staff 5 the instant execution again because now Staff 3 "tells" for Staff 5.
2. Make a new Staff 5 that "explodes" Healing Orbs for both damage and healing.
3. Staff 4 also explodes Orbs.
4. Orbs that don't explode become a healing puddle after 5 seconds for HoT and has a Light Field. (Very good for blast combos for cleanse and very good for Healing others when not in Ventari)

Don't care about anything else but Dancing Dagger is cool.

D/D desperately needs a gap closer.

Since we are talking about D/D, I don't care about Death Blossom either.Skill was never useful for jack other than D/D Condi Thieves on fat stationary bosses.

I wouldn't mind if they just replaced D/D 3 entirely.

Idk.Game feels bad to play, things get changed so often for the worse, builds get randomly buffed and nerfed with no regard for actual game balance, and of course, LAG.

At this point there are so many problems that Alliance system being introduced will be the last thing anyone wants, not because we don't want it, but because there are so many things that needs fixing asap.

Mate, if it didn't pulse it would be buried by all the other condi spam and you'd have no hope of clearing it. How do you not get that? By it pulsing it always remains at the top of the list and you can clear it as soon as it pulses with 2 clears and then walk away. Say the Druid is using the rune of the Krait, if it didn't pulse you'd need to clear the Poison, Bleed and Torment before the Immob since it is applied first. Heaven forbid you go 1v2 against a Druid and anything else because that Immob is going to be covered 100% of the time and you will need 4+ clears to get down to it.

Pretty damn sure duration stacking condis do not get pushed up on top.
