Probably not a popular view, but I’d buy an expansion just for new class elites. I bought PoF solely for the new elites. Story and mounts were just the icing on the proverbial cake for me.

Normally don’t have a problem with it. Like most similar skills that require time, ie hundred blades, you have to wait until your target is CC’d. That being said, I mostly just play WvW so take what I say with a grain of salt. I know WvW plays differently. SPvP it does not work. It has tracking issues and the odds of pulling the complete chain with interruption are pretty low.Thats a good point. I normally only use it if the enemy isn’t paying attention or the focus is elsewhere. In WvW, Torch 5 is a beast.

Jumping puzzles for Charr are kind of horrendous, and the bad thing is all of my toons are Charr.

Hmm, not sure I agree with you on Torch’s assessment, with the exception of maybe the 4 thrown and it’s tracking not being good. The rest of the skills are good, and 5 hits like a truck, so no idea what your talking about there. This is from a WvW mindset btw.

I agree ... and as we have seen in the past, Anet take some small steps for these things until they hit the spot they think is good ... like the dozen direct DPS increases on Necro Axe. I'm surprised they didn't do the SPB Full Counter nerf ... 75% decrease was it? To be fair ... THAT is more like where Arc Divider should be ... around 5-7K total. ONce it get's there, people won't be so excited about Berserker anymore, guaranteed. I dunno, that Full Counter nerf was a bit too much. Yes it needed a nerf, but not the amount they did it. Now it’s an aegis with some tickle damage. I won't debate exactly what it should be ... but if it was too big at 20K to deserve a nerf ... it's still too much at 15K too. I'm anticipating another hit. How does it compare to Sic'em+Rapid Fire or Shatter Spike though? There are instagib spikes on several professions, so is a 15-20k Arc Divider that cannot be set up prior to entering combat that out of line? Honestly this. I don't have a problem with stuff like arc divider doing very high damage as you can't ambush someone with it like you can other silly high damage skills. Sure you can with death from above traited, jump on a crowd of enemies, spin to win x2 = easily kill a quarter of an enemy zerg solo or Warclaw maul + spin to win x2 = ez kills or Cloaking water / stealth + spin to win x2 etc you get the point I am trying to read this with a straight face, but I can't.Seriously, people suggesting cloaking waters to make berserker reliable as an ambush class. I am seriously laughing my donkey off just imagining a warrior sitting/camping cloacking waters for some one to come inside SMC. That has to be the most boring and pathetic warrior in GW2.Reminds me of all those Soulbeast that stay on the tops of walls.

Yea it kinda sucks, but I’m ok with it considering. However, I would argue that because the update notes contain various fixes, important changes and notes unrelated to story, that the introduction was a bit done in poor taste. Normally I can tell if something is going to spoil the story and I can skip right over it, but in this note’s case, it was hard to miss. Still I should have known better.

Awesome video. Got one question though. What about the warrior burst skills, core F1 and Berserker F1? Do they keep that same “Axe” transformation?

Patch notes contain information for new players, veteran players, and everyone in between. Visiting the wiki after a patch is habitual for many. On the wiki, players can take steps to help out other players, as one did <Gah!! Link broke template, sorry to those who clicked on it>. Thank you for looking into doing that. Very helpful! So.. the trailers of every harry potter movie had to avoid ever mentioning the return of voldemort? I mean, spoiling their own story shouldn't be a good business practice, right? Not quite the same thing but good effort. How is it different?The spoiler in question is something that happened in the previous "movie".They're just summarizing the previous ending. That wasn’t really the point of my example and I won’t go down that path with you. Regardless, movie trailers don’t contain important information and changes to the class I play or game mechanics that have nothing to do with story.

Regardless, I think the intro to the updates note is in bad taste. I appreciate the reply. You may have this thread closed if you want.

Lol, just realized the same spoilers are on this very forum. Bad Anet, bad!!!

It’s on the update notes, and yes I agree. First sentence is the biggest and I’ve been avoiding talk or forum info about the last episode. I don’t recall there being bad spoilers like that on update notes. I more or less made this thread as a warning to others who might be in the same boat as me but haven’t ventured to the wiki yet.

Wow, thank you gw2 wiki for spoiling the previous episode of which I haven’t played yet thanks to being busy irl all the time. Why would you do this!?

I told you tell me what are the benefits from all 5 spells in pvp and how they are working perfectly fine and how all 5 spells can beat any other spec give me examples and facts My analysis of GS isn't relevant to your suggestion. im telling you that gs dont work you are telling me that it is working tell me how No, I'm telling you it doesn't work for you. For lots of other people it works just fine. That's a player skill issue, not a weapon design issue. So you cant tell me what are the all benefits from all 5 skills bc they suck :D the disign is terrible No no, you can’t do that. The burden of proof lies in your court bub. You’re the one making the accusation that Guardian GS is a terrible design. You have to prove that it is first and you have not shown any proof yet. All you have is circumstantial since you claim that there is no Guardian in Plat that uses GS. Also, wasn’t last years top 2 players FB Guardians and both used GS? I remember watching a video on it. I’ll post the thread discussion as soon as I find it. I did provide plenti evidence you just didnt all the comments You have only provided conjecture and opinion. Try again. I found the thread but unfortunately the video has bee taken down. https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/62254/firebrand-solo-roaming-in-wvw#latest. In the thread there was discussion of a PvP tournament. The top 2 were FBs and both used GS in the build. That dont prove anything they are limited by weapon choice and what is this gold ? try again Based on your odd reply, you obviously didn’t read the thread. Also, once again, provide proof that GS needs a rework. Based on your reply i can tell you are not guard player and you dont know how GS work if you were you would know and i already said 1 million times GS 2 its the only dmg we have and its predictable can be out run and dodge the spin is bad when you press 2 and you are in the animation your movement speed is reduce so its easy do out run or just dodge you cant bait dodge bc you dont have any other damage you can do combo with [Judge's Intervention] 36 sec cd(bdw) but thats it GS is badThen you’d be wrong. I currently main a guardian, have played it since release, and have the most played hours on it on my account. If you are having that much trouble landing GS2 then I’d suggest you look into a thing called crowd control or CC for short. Based on your reply, you have what I would call a learn to play issue if you can’t pull off most of your GS2 damage. If your problem is that guardian GS burst is all on one skill, this isn’t unique. There are several weapons that do this and they also require CC to pull off.

Soulbeast can use its core mechanic while not Merged. Berserker cant use normal burst at all. Berserker has a duration.Soulbeast can be used permanent. Berserker needs a resource.Soulbeast doesnt. Berserker Form can be interupted. Can Merging be interupted? You conveniently forgot to mention that while merged, you can’t swap or use separate pet functions aka f2; and while unmerged, you can’t use Soulbeast functionality.

So> @"Turkeyspit.3965" said: I have a theory on this. I don’t think each class will have custom animations. I think each type of maneuver has a custom animation. For example, whirling skills will have the scythe blade, like guardian Gs 2/5 and Necromancer Gravedigger. Thrusting/stabbing skills will have those side blade add-ons. Throwing skills will have those ninja star looking projectiles. Etc,etc.
