Lonewolf Kai.3682

Just my 2 coppers, I at first didn’t like the change but adjusted my build and now I love it. HOWEVER, the glaring issue I have so far is the cooldowns. This is just like Revenants. We’re getting double penalized for using our skills in which for FB’s it’s page cost and cd instead of energy cost and cd. Oh and also, please give back the flipping tome opening animation!!

On sword/focus, why does focus 4 use the main hand for the animation instead of the focus hand? Can we get get the animation on the focus hand? also, can we go ahead and detonate focus 5 with a second activation? Give less passiveness.

or the more popular crono mes as tag. No, I'm just looking for a silly tanky build that does a little damage. One that can dive into the zerg blob and jump back out or one that can do some havoc grouping. Looking at a sword/focus build. I was thinking something with high heal power and building up barrier stacks. But I don't want to hit completely as a wet noodle. It's kind of hard to compete with a tempest build though instead of weaver, isn't it. Tempest is just so much easier to use as an all around build.

Just doing some general build theory crafting here, but anyone have a tanky Weaver build, or have suggestions for one? This would mostly be for WvW, but don’t exclude pvp.

You just need two simple tricks to beat an ele: boon strip or boon corruption.

Is it better though? I’m seeing some talk about people closing out of a tome almost immediately because of this change. not only that but the change is completely boring. Where is the flavor? If I want this type of no animation gameplay, I can go play some text adventures. if people are that fanatical about PvE rotations, then Anet should just be able to add in that an immediate use of a skill overwrites the animation. There’s already many skills that do this.

Why are they gone? That’s really sad. Maybe they should come back to help with the accidental closing of the time like some people are noticing.

Nope, there’s just a few that don’t like it. Most people love it that I’ve talked with at least, both in game and forums.

On a Charr Vindi myself and I personally love both animations!

So I tried this last night and was a bit surprised at how well it performed. I did notice a few flaws to it. I’m having problems with condi and stuns. The stun maybe just a me problem because I’m so used to having 2 stun breaks on my utilities, but the condis seem to be a real issue. How are you dealing with groups that have multiple stuns and condi spam? also, I noticed it’s not as much healing without water traits so I’m having to watch my hp a little more closely.

To be fair in this case, it wasn’t Indo but Tiffy, and in this case she wasn’t wrong about them. True, I was in OP at the time (no longer and will never go back), and I’ve played with all the major guilds that have run and no longer run in the past few years, but VIP is by far the worst I’ve ever had the displeasure to squad with on more than one occasion.

1,1,1,1,1,1,1

I think it’s pretty sad that a boonball as large as this group runs has to come to the forums to complain because it can’t handle an unorganized cloud that doesn’t even have comms and blame it on tag watching. like I said before: 1

4’s follow up is so beautiful. I just spam it over and over even with no enemies present! 😄

No, the animation is fine. The stab duration needs to go up.

It is crucial in competitive modes.

Just a heads up, the animations glitch out on Charr if you're moving while using them, but that also happens on other weapon anims.

This makes me sad. Was looking forward to the flexibility but this change is actually really bad for dps of any sort. There needs to be some way better page and CD reductions somewhere. Guess I’ll just stick to my Willbender and just delete my FB template.

Awesome change!!!,

Oh man. That sucks!

Honestly, they’re going to have to get rid of FBs stab skills and quickness altogether. Buff it in other ways, like tome1

Dude you scared me!! Also, I like the current anim better myself.

Who’s the more rando-ish? The rando or the rando calling the rando a rando? 🫤
