    It is frustrating with every update, one will have to reninstall the arcdps.

    Downloading a single file to a correct folder and restarting the game is not a big deal in my world.

    This.
    Its super easy to delete the file and then just redownload it when arc is updated. You can also just use an addon manager, though its basically same amount of clicks.

    @Keymaster.7362 and @LuRkEr.9462 I agree with both of your comments, but I don't believe we have heard those explicit answers from ANET. That's the purpose of this post. To make sure we get clear answers to these questions. 

     

    I hope you know there is basically no chance ANet would respond to this post with answers. You will have to wait with the rest of us for their preview of the armory probably a week or two before it releases in July.

  3. They will announce details closer to the launch of legendary armory. The popular speculation is that it will be a vendor of sorts where you select the legendary you have obtained and you can receive that item to then equip that on a character. The item would not be sellable or salvageable. 

     

    They have not mentioned being able to disable trinket or infusion effects at all.

     

    Runes/Sigils would not be available on other chars unless you had legendary runes. (but that also begs the question on if we will only have to unlock 1 rune or if we need to make 6)

     

    Again, just speculation but there is no way they would let it duplicate runes/infusions.

     

  4. In PVP mesmer is bottom tier, especially if its mesmer and not mirage or chrono.  Mesmer is one of those classes where you are only going to beat the other class if you are better than them. On equal footing a mesmer will pretty much always lose. 

    Mesmer is all about capitalizing on the mistakes / daze windows of the opponent.

     

    This is from plat 1 point of view. I know mesmer does better in lower ranks because people get confused on the real target 😆

  5. I was just getting ready to make transcendence this week (my last legendary slot needed) and they go and announce a new one. I am waiting to see what the effect is, can't imagine its worse than the little brown ball. 

     

    It lists new meta achievements so I suspect we will have to complete some new stuff, possibly existing collections, to spend enough gold to be a sink. I can't imagine it being free, there will be a 1000g+ cost in there somewhere. 

  6. I usually play ranger in ranked pvp or AT but soon as I see our team doesn't have atleast 2 necros (atleast 1 being scourge) I will switch to my scourge. Its very meta right now and the team would be at a disadvantage if we didn't have it.That being said many of the teams winning 1st place in daily ATs dont have a scourge, but pretty much always have a core necro. With rise of necro I have been seeing more deadeyes lately to counter it.

Map rotation doesn't matter that much as anyone at a high level of pvp for a tournament knows the map mechanics.It is up to the player of any game with pvp to learn from various resources (youtube, wiki, etc.) to get them selves better through knowledge and practice. Its not up to the developers.

    Explaining what is snowballing is feasible. Explaining surving in most of the cases are more important than standing on node and die fast is feasible. Explaining should not plus 1 as a support is feasible. etc etc.

    Therefore your statement is wrong.

    You are kind of proving my point with the etc etc. Its not that explaining it isn't feasible, its the amount of scenarios that would need explained. You can't make an all in one guide for pvp without it being many hours long or dozens of pages long. If a player wants to get better it is up to them to learn it, not up to the developer to teach it.

    @Eugchriss.2046 said:especially if the pet is dead because of that bug which occurs when the pet is revived by downstate #3. Then the pet gets invuln frames for like 2 secs.

    Not a bug, it's part of the
    . The ability was always meant to revive your pet first if it's dead, then have it come rez you.

    • Lick Wounds:
      Revive
      your pet at your location to revive you.
    • Revival
      : Revival is the process of bringing a player or NPC back from downed or
      defeated
      state.
      • Reviving a
        defeated
        target gives 1% of total health every 0.2 seconds, for a total of 5% per second.
        It takes 20 seconds to revive a defeated target.
    • Defeated
      : A defeated character is one that is unable to move, use skills, or interact with their surroundings.

    It's definitively a bug. Dead pet should mean dead ranger, but for some reasons, that's not the case.

    The term they use in their description may not be clear, but its not a bug. It has been the same way since beta. There is a difference in Revive and Revival though. Revival being the process ending in a revive. From the description its straight to Revive.

  10. Lich form is pretty powerful, but I rarely get any use out of it at higher levels of play. Many classes have projectile reflect / area denial skills, soon as I hit lich they basically shut it down. It really does amazing against unskilled players or players just got caught out in the open with no cooldowns though.

  11. I mean with a 25 LI cap a week.. getting 3.5k + 750 = 4250 LI which is 170 weeks of maximum participation in raiding. I have to say that is pretty nuts and you can't expect them to accommodate that. If you really have that much LI thats great, but any reward for it at this point would just be /clap.

    Guessing you haven't raided before. You should try them out, they are alot of fun. Raids don't really have the issue of flashy skills since its only 10 people. Many bosses have mechanics that require people being in different areas doing different things which also spreads it out a little. You should give raids a try though if you like bosses. Any game with 50+ people in one area casting skills will have a light show.

  13. Its honestly not even mesmers alot of the time anymore. If the portal is purple yes, but anyone can troll portal with the white mantle device.. but it makes a white/yellowish portal. Most don't notice the color though and mesmers get blamed though in Octovine and Chak meta I usually see the white mantle device portals.

    Also don't forget about scourge or thief portals. Even if it there was a message that said whos portal it was, what will that do? Its not a reportable issue as far as I know (unless they port out of bounds.)

  14. Necro has always been a fairly strong class in PvP. Honestly all the classes except Mesmer are in a fairly good place if played effectively for their role. Play what you want though (except Mesmer,) all about the fun.Mesmer got hit with some pretty big nerfs and is generally considered a hinderance on the team. A really good Mesmer can still hold its own though, but requires much more skill to be effective against a mediocre player of another class. Really most of it depends on skill for any class, I've seen so many bad "meta" players.

  15. Yea, some groups will run fractals without heals. That is "Meta" but only in coordinated teams. Running a pug T4 or CM without a healbrand often turns into a shit show, though sometimes it works great.The 3 dps can really be whatever (probably not chrono, too slow rampup) as long as they know their class and rotation well. Though in anything endgame PvE, people tend to like stacking guardians for the inherent defense that brings.
