Aceofsppades.6873

Have you seen the numbers staff mirages put up. It is clearly op

Their own alacrity but this doesn’t benefit the group. No it is group wide alacrity https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Serene_Rejuvenation It is trash though

The first drm patch cause mirage axe clones to not apply their condis properly in some way.

I think dismounting into combat triggers the sigil and puts it on cooldown so that might be the issue

In wvw its a good build. In fractals its pretty bad, fb and ren have taken over the quickness and alac roles for that content.

Core engi is bad because holosmith is better than tools, in general for a core class to be good its third weakest traitline has to be better than an entire elite spec. Also core condi engi is pretty good its just that holosmith is slightly better than tools

Core guardian actually slaps, it's about equal to virtues dh so it's somewhat niche but it is a real build.

Yes minstrel chrono is still a thing for raid tanking as I understand it it's even a good wvw zerg build.

Raid Central also exists. They run saturdays

You have literally no way of backing up that claim. In order for that to be true the full suit of strikes would need to exist which you can't prove and you would have to show that it hasn't lead to more interest in raids which again you don't have the numbers to prove.

All that happened in terms of stepping stones is the opposite of what was intended: Many people (most prominently the KP demanders) turned raiding into a stepping stone for Boneskinner. Except you don't have the ground to actually make that claim. in fact I'd argue I have just as much ground to make the opposite claim.

In pve heal scourge uses dagger for its life force generation.

lol hammer instead of scepter. Nice meme. I don't play dps normally, idk why you're assuming I do. As @"Infusion.7149" pointed out in another thread; It's not just "use another class lol". It's way out of proportion compared to other boss CC bars. So? It's very doable so what's the problem with a boss break bar being very big? Hell the only thing that has shown is that the devs have been way to lenient in the size of some of the raid breakbars.

Also the pirate peg leg can still be used

I like this change, even though they missed a few, because theres this aspect of build craft and comp building that's just not relevant because why would I ever swap in a cc skill when I can just us a plank. Having a lot of cc was just not a strength on a build worth considering cause cc consumables.
