I've done it literally just now as it was intended, not skipping legendary icebrood and it has been quietly fixed, cheers.

Oh wow, since it's the main meta event on eastern part of Bjora Marches I would've expected this to be a recent issue but we're already five months in with a known issue.

Why isn't there an official response already to this topic? This all seems like an elaborate tap dance from ArenaNet in order to trap confused players into purchasing Living World Season 4 content unlocks because said players are not informed well enough. I swear to God the Live Summer 2021 text excerpts are purposefully obscured in non-conclusive writing that aims to throw the reader on a loop with the fact that there are only mentions of LWS2 and LWS3 but also the requirements to complete LWS4 and Icebrood Saga achievements with the first phrase starting: ...Which doesn't deny nor confirm whether said episodes will be freely rolled out or not. I swear lawyers wrote the update, it's not exactly rocket science to keep it simple and mention everything the players will be receiving through the 'Return to x' campaign.

5 cfb + 1 alacren now the meta for high fractals for a full year before the next large class balance update right? Sweet, must be nice for the Guardian maining devs. "Mirage hasn't been performing at the level we'd like it to; it's been relegated to a damage role in only a few specific boss encounters in which confusion is particularly potent." Looking at the Mirage's traits that synergize only with condition damage and not with power I'm truly shocked that it's utilized only in content where said condition damage is good. Is the ambush damage supposed to be that good that you'd pick a condition elite specialization just to play power with it rather than using Chronomancer? I don't get it. A tiny portion of old neckbeard players are stacking Chronos to speedclear raids so the whole elite specialization gets hammered to kingdom come, I wonder if EoD will let Mesmer players finally use a elite specialization to play Power and not Condition damage. How long has core shatter been the conquest go-to for Mesmer again? Hey at least some good news. I'll take all and every nerf I get for condi shortbow revs that can solo legendary bounties by sustaining with battle scars even if it's just this. Should probably switch the class names with this and necromancer for PvE because the other that's supposed to be king of sustain clearly isn't. 😂 Edit rant: I really dislike pet classes which is why when I started this game in 2012 I mained Thief and later Mesmer. After a few breaks when I came back to the game it really pained to see both of them thrown into the trash like that, I really enjoyed the allure of Mesmers of having PvE mobs aggroing the illusions and phantasms instead of the character so I could play glass. Later on I rerolled into a reaper and made a condi ren as well and can just faceroll with full berserker's / viper's through mostly everything alone and just have fun without going down. What even is having fun on Mesmers outside of the feeling of power when giving Portals to new players? Every gear and cog in the machine is attempting to force a trailblazer's mirage for soloing (Not that it's an issue for Mesmers alone, the Trailblazer's stat combination for soloing is broken when compared to any of Power variants and hardly no one is addressing it, what even is build diversity when the most logical choice is most likely Trailblazer's). It feels like a half or a slight margin over it of players I see in the open world with mastery points of 350 and over are either DHs or FBs which makes me wince hard knowing that once again Guardians are getting pampered.

I wanted to come back and clarify my starting position with a more relaxed and cleared head after learning about Corrosive Poison Cloud. I'm an idiot and an apparent masochist who likes making things overtly difficult for themselves and playing the game wrong, I don't run minions, I don't like pet classes, I dislike rangers, illusions and phantasms however are still somehow OK inside my head, I know the reasoning is weird but I can't enjoy the game with a pet class even if it is a total detriment, this is why I mostly run stun breaks and condition removal on all my berserker characters I play. This is all due to my own selfish hubris. I probably wouldn't have any of these problems if I ran trailblazers minion master. Thanks all for the help and not being condescending when I was ranting all frustrated.

I was just about to comment on how Necromancers don't really have blocks but Corrosive Poison Clouds blocks projectiles! So there was a simple solution with one utility swap!

I'm sorry if this question doesn't belong here but I'm having a headache and I just don't care at this point. I'm a new Reaper player, have played most of my time after coming back to the game as a Chrono. Having to learn fights from the scratch is a fun experience when different classes have different strengths and weaknesses, but failing miserably multiple times is not. Now, I have zero ideas as to how am I supposed to solo simple veteran mobs as a Reaper. With a mesmer, I could just have my clones tank the damage, better yet, I can projectile reflect it all back with feedback for hasty kills. What's my tactic with Reaper, breaking the bar as fast as I can and start dpsing? I run full berserkers but I don't really feel squishy at 20k HP + shroud, don't get me wrong. It's a refreshing feeling from a Guardian with 11k HP where everything feels do or die instantly. My utilities don't have an answer, I've tried traiting for life siphoning in blood magic but that doesn't give that huge amount of a sustain either. All I can do is use the GS pull, chill to the bone or flesh golem elite to break the bar, with flesh it even tanks damage before a bristleback is even aiming at me and they're at half HP but they'll manage to down me and I need to finish them in a downed state. This is all a l2p issue I'm sure, and I know you can kite them from a range but I don't have any fast methods of closing that gap to start dealing damage before the next infinite volley, and doing it this way makes the encounter of a single veteran last for ages. I'm just hoping for some guidance at this point please. What's the optimal play here. P.S I can't believe how easy mesmers are to play even with their lower health pools when compared to these problems, I'm a solo player and have soloed pretty much all of the tricky hero points from Verdant Brink + Auric Basin alone and don't really get downed (the benefit here though is that as a necro, getting downed isn't really that much of an issue all of the time as you can get up, but as a mesmer you're pretty much doomed if it's a bad spot).

My gold, my time gated crafts like deldrimor steel ingots and spiritwood planks, my blood ruby backpack, my heart of thorns achievements to get all of those mastery points, all gone up in smoke. I was too afraid to scan my inventory through to see what was gone because I closed the game in hopes that this will get nullified becasue a three day rollback is unacceptable. Now I have to wait a few days ON TOP of my wasted days so everything gets sorted out. I'm going to give it time and let the devs work for a day or two, but in the event this isn't fixed appropriately it should get blasted for its worth in each gaming news outlet, three days is a lot of activity to just delete. Y'all deserve all the negative PR in that event, full offense.
