aetemes.2603

I played it for 20 minutes and was like why would I play this over the other elites and logged back to my tempest lol...even compared to core?? The utility is very boring...the f5 skill is soo???? Unforgiving, demanding and restricting for what exactly looks fancy thats sbout it?? Hammer is...like.......I wouldve prefered an off hand with the orbs/whatever is cool in hammer being more of a mechanic then hammer overall...I dunno has such a weird ranges and no rhyme or reason. The talents? this whole you get more damage/defense/stats is extremley boring I like talents that changes how you play with your skills. Overall boring not exciting. I duno I dont't get the flow of this spec like..?? What is the theme exactly, what like I am sitting on a node in pvp itll be good or?. It's called a catalyst because??...just a cool name what is the fantasy?? Just slapping some skills around ow they have auras ow ok??

I am usually into critiquing stuff and being negative but I really think male norns look great (they are my favorite male model followed by char)..They look like male teddy bears. I'd be mad if they look like roided skip leg day males (aka big human males). Also the voice acting is top notch.

Came back after taking a break...lol they onliterated the wells visuals? I cant even see what ally chrono wells are casting?? obviously chrono buffing is still really awful compared to other classes. But hey! 20% gold food is so hype. Not. Back to the abyss.

Wow norn males aren't sexy??? really??? I didn't know that's the consensus??? for real?? Julius Bjornsson??? are there any females commenting on this that I missed??. If anything it's human males that look a little uhh...like what is that fiddling with their hands that they do are they about to enter a buisness meeting?. Norn females all have doll faces...I don't see how they manage their hairs and faces even their bodies as hunters...Eir has a bare leg out you know...cause hunters need to not ignore their mate calls..like come on give it a rest already -_iii.

lol...I'll pay gems to know is the game going to have an expansion or not.

What is it that you want a sale on??

My comment.

lol at all the body physics discussions with most of the game being human females with cat ears, scarves and snowflakes... Norn males are what I wish all males looked like.

To imply support chrono is fine at buffing alacrity and being a support and just "l2p"....the gameplay is annoying having to dedicate too many gear pieces runes sigils for bd AND awful skills aka wells and soi and a couple of buttons to resest soi is so lame and annoying. So restrictive. Firebrigade are better because simply they have many functions condensed beyond being able to just buff quick/alacrity. Firebrands insane tomes, and just needs max two utilities and like three diviner pieces...literally not even conc sigils or runes...like it's a joke. Renegade can support beyond just alacrity the buttons on that class do a gazillion thing at the same time...they both are soo forgiving for both the player and the team if you missed a buff dw reapply over and over and you can fill the healer or push damage your "utility" remain widely utility and you can enjoy the game beyond are my buffs up and did some one miss the pixel of the well when it finally decided to actually buff. This is why chrono is so lame at this point, too many nerfs to apologise for how oppressive it was. Like they made it now that if you want to buff you can do nothing else...so you might as well just play power cause that frees you up to use your utility for other things including soi. They just have this lens of how chrono is in raid and how many would be needed...no regards to gameplay or fun or other game modes just...ugh. Leave it just hanging by its teeth in a raid setting cause that's what the class deserves. Rune of the chronomancer needs to add insane bd value to quickness and alacrity like why does the firebrand one does that...like seriously what is that?. Anyways heres my tip on how to enhance alacrity boon duration on your own self...on second thought I won't cause they might nerf the process.

I played/mained mesmer long time ago - took a huge break and came back when pof was released. When I came back and IP was baseline I was like wow??? that's cool! too cool?. I loved/e chronomancer as a concept. It pushed mesmer in the way I loved the class being a strong support of the non 'healing' variety. I am used to the idea that mesmer needs clones. So...the IP being taken away Im like ok...back to how it was. Diversion loss is....sad...not really sold why that happened but I dont pvp. I do hate that they moved the vital f5 to f4 cause that's bothersome but I suppose leaving f4 blank is weird. I like that f3 now slows I feel like slow application by the chronomancer has always been so lacking given it is a chronomancer. So I really like that...and with the rewind f2 makes having condi/illusion focused rather than phantasms oriented interesting...it obviously would be a gimicky debuff/buff support rather than a full on mirage kill with condis pressure. Didnt bother trying a build like that yet but curious still cause I like staff!. Honestly my main meh with chrono is how taxing and unfun the kit is to provide others with alacrity and quickness - to you and everyone else...like...two wells that don't pulse the buffs...something to reset the well...then a signet that extends buffs (thank god it's at least all buffs but ele has that as base horn lol -_-). Like can the shield be a strong enough way to buff significant duration of both that I could get away not needing every single skill be about providing what should be a chronomancers signature. Even at full bd duration you must dedicate too many buttons just for those skills that are not fun for the player or those who play with them imo. I dunno...like I want them to be able to buff on the move better this whole stand on this circle a couple of seconds - oops you just stepped out of it and missed the whole thing...which isn't too long of a buff anyways is...now it's on a long cd...I don't like that. Guardian/revs ability to buff on the move is a lot more fun for everyone involved and they "pulse them on the move" thus makes reapplication convenient (plus they can provide other buffs/heals). They also have much lower cds for those buffs?. Now that chronos ability to provide a variety of buffs in general is non existent outside of lol pack runes lol...I don't think it's fair. Make them "too" good at providing alac/quickness to give them an edge?. Things I'd think would make the chrono cool. Wells pulse the buffs and the duration of the buffs with bd would be significantly longer if specced into bd or they have a shorter cd...maybe dare I say charges...yikes. Or?..one well gives both alacrity and quickness perhaps make the new well chill and slow instead not sure about that one. Same to shield duration wise. The well talent makes it affect 10 people. Maybe bring back f4 instead and now that would be the access to additional buffing ability making speccing into illusions traits an option to further enhance your buffing abilities. Although I think I'd cry cause I think I am getting used to f4 being f5 already I don't know xD. Chronomancer's runes makes your wells buff others...with I dare say both alacrity and quickness...just quickness I doubt anyone would still bother...although lol at new op necro support...even quickness alone would make necro with bd a hype thing :o. Jk chronos wells are now puddles -_-.

I saw a Char wearing itl looked nice as one of those crazy cat looks he had the helm disabled. However it being too...skimpy on other races. Couldn't they make it a gem store infusion? Cause the armor is just...maybe this is the anets sneaky answer to people who wanna run around naked with swim suits. I am not using that on any of my chars or getting it even if it was an "ingame" item..if it was a dyable infusion however...that might be interesting?

Resolved thanks sll.

Never mind resolved :p let post die!

Because the mechanics of this game are fun and interesting and I feel like compared to other mmos out there they really tried to be different and take risks and challenge aspects that make an mmo dull. The game also doesn't feel abusive and money grubbing as other games and strives to make gearing accessible allowing you to catch up on power levels or what not. The concept of pushing your class and skills in different directions and themes is so cool. I was a huge Final Fantasy franchise fan my friends used to mock the game for being so "weird"...but something felt off about the game after square soft became square enix. Anyways when I played their mmo...pretty graphics (a little too pretty..gummy bears though for summons...ok)...but my God are the mechanics lame and dull, flavorless, complete copycats which was not what I wanted from an ff mmo at all...GW2 has what I used to like about ff. Their expansion even removed skills...like...the game is already simple pimple...what?? Imo if that game didn't have the foundation of what the ff franchise did...a boring mmo with ff skins is what it is to me. WoW was great..but after they started clipping skills and promoting skin recolors as something...you could just tell the actual creative people were gone now it was just how to keep the money coming in. Quit that game for gw2..easy choice. Their idea of a new release is realeasing the old version of their game??? are you serious???. What is with entertainment nowadays thinking remakes are so awesome...and why is everyone buying it?. The game is casual enough for my taste but intellectualy stimulating. And strives to reduce the friction between players to encourage team play. I realise people complain about no new content...but honestly...for no subscription this game is just amazing I feel kinda guilty I don't need to pay a penny. The only "negative" I have...is...I dunno if the game will keep going...there's definitley a vibe of that this game is coming to a silent end. Sad...but nothing lasts. Still hoping it isn't time yet. How the skills are being clipped and reworked definitley doesnt feel interesting as it used to be. Which I hear is because of staff changes...so. :(

I see!...thats why epidemic feels kinda ...ughh..its such a long cast and slow projectile that it only really shines in not so frequent situations. So scourge been adjusted a lot ok...I didn't know that...that's like my druid when it was nerfed it's really annoying in comparison to how it used to be.

I tested some more. Ok I take it back...I think because I am used to seeing big numbers on a specific condi I felt weird. Also I feel...epidemic is the key to make the condi cleave strong it seems. Just not used to the idea of focusing one target then epidemic. That with the "weak aoe condis being thrown around" makes it strong. That with being able to be tanky/supporty just through talents is like super awesome. I get it. Thanks!

Hi guys so I have been experimenting with my scourge builds revolving around condi...and I was really annoyed during my experimentation and I didn't really know why. Then I realised that opposed to my firebrand/ranger/thief/even mesmer??...my ability to like apply significant amounts of condis around is...weak?? or am I doing it wrong? Epidemic?...that and the plague cloud ultimate?? is it me or it's just a weak ulti? I dunno I guess I thought necro would be the lord of condis, spreading the plague, ...but it's kinda bleh and lots of single targeting (kinda hate scepter) and ground targeting over and over (like using the untraited small shades is painfull?). Is it because scourge is a hybrid support? Advice? Thanks.

Is plaguedoctor usefull at all...like I feel like that it's a fun stat but...on what class...already have marshals on my scourge..I feel like a Might druid/Boons Firebrand/chaos chrono might be worth...but is it? As a roamer in wvw or a supporty/not glassy/can kill stuff on my own open world?.

When I want to solo stuff I use my Condi SB...being able to rez the pet...is...good. But observing other players in open world...necro is what I think takes solo to the best level.

Yeah...I really like f3 applying slow now. I'll be mad if they change that xD.

How much boon duration do you have...I mean obviously that matters. I personally think upkeep on my alacrity is higher if I just save my clones for frustration (rewind) but I don't think you'd need to do that anyways.

well it's cool if support does help you...anyways I think I prefer shining blade...bolt is just ugly imo.

Minister support thief behind the shadows doesn't kill/dps just disables/blinds/stealths/reveals stealths/some version of evades to others would be equivalent to aegis distortion, vulnrable to being picked off if careless about positioning and has to be "out if position" to do uts job then skillfully retreat. Focus off hand. Nobles/Faren/CM themed.

IP could've been just disabled for the f5. And they shouldve left the f5 button in the f5 keyboard spot instead of moving it to f4. Whatever.

I want a bow mesmered starcaller themed...I dunno what that means.
