Ashantara.8731 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 How is anyone supposed to know when the expansion has not been released yet, so no one knows what type of enemies we are going to get, what new stats there will be, and so on?

Tanner Blackfeather.6509 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 And that was only half-ish (if even that) of one map, and one single story instance. On top of that only for 2 hours with the new specs, and versions of the specs known to be different from how they will be at launch.We have no way of knowing how the enemies later in the story will be to fight.

Ze Seph.3672 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 At what point of HoT storyline did you manage to fully unlock an elite spec?I assume that, as in HoT, we won't start with the full new elite spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure I'm not alone in getting characters ready for new elite specs because I've met others in game doing the same thing. All it took was refraining from spending any hero points on the current elite spec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 352 extra hero points on my Ranger/Druid so I thought that I would have enough (hopefully, fingers crossed) to max Soulbeast immediately.

I was just missing the elite skill for most of that time as I started with somewhere between 210 and 220 or so HPs. It was quicker to finish unlocking the elite on my alts with 100% world completion because I knew where the easy HPs were and had the masteries to reach them quickly (I think I finished unlocking my guardian in about 15 minutes, for example). Core Tyria and HoT contain 600 HPs and WvW contains about 13 more, so even if you fully unlock your HoT Elite spec it's possible to have over 350 HPs spare going into the expansion. I believe that the new elite specs will cost the same as the HoT elite specs so there should be no reason why you can't instantly unlock the PoF elite spec and start using it straight away.

If yes, then minion-master might be a thing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could do as in HoT and increase the HP needed for each ability and have PoF hero challanges give 100 HP.I don't think ANet want everybody fully unlock the new specs tomorrow.

It would also make sense in terms of those who buy PoF but have not bought HoT. Their experience would then be similar to that of those who bought HoT. In addition, we know there are Hero Challenges in PoF.However, this is ANet. We haven't heard anything on how the Elites will be unlocked. That is very similar to how ANet handled things in HoT. A lot of people assumed things based on how core specs were handled. ANet threw them a curve. The situation blew up in ANet's face, and they backpedaled on the number of points needed to unlock the HoT Elite Specs. I'd like to think ANet learned something from that situation. I don't know that they have, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dusanyu.4057 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I tried most of them and they all felt good in Open world stuff however spell braker did feel; like it was not living up to its full potential due to the lack of boons on mobs.
