  1. Simply put, play really aggressively on Herald and you'll do better. I got way better after raiding for legendary armor because my muscle memory let me simply fight faster than opponents. You can spike fast with power herald and pressure hard with condi herald. Condi herald has fantastic condi cleanse, sustained pressure, utility, and some tankiness. Power herald has weak condi cleanse, team utility, strong burst, and strong defense you have to use strategically (facet of light, staff, blind, and CC).
  2. Removed utility? I added a new Alliance Tactics upkeep skill that can proc boons on dodge including alacrity Don't see any aegis? Aegis isn't on Vindi in the first place and I'm not in support of every spec being able to proc every boon, many players are complaining about homogenization of the specs Removed our ability to generate stamina? I baked one stamina generation trait into the traitline so you can take TWO endurance regen traits alongside Energy Meld Tanked the entire specs DPS? I added a Bladesworn-like burst ability with a much more interactive energy-upkeep Spear elite Perhaps I didn't write things clearly enough. Your responses simply don't reflect what I wrote in that proposal.
  3. I agree. The alliance stances don't talk to each other, and they don't synergize much with the core traitlines. OP offers interesting ideas. I'll add my rework proposal here: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/User:Anonynja/Vindicator_Rework
  4. Yep, or sage/krait. And stunlock is my #1 bane playing rev in pvp. I tried the toughness/condi route too with undead runes, but toughness does nothing in the face of condi comps, whereas vitality is always useful. Just trying to make the most of range + bleed to put more energy into kiting and supporting allies, especially with stab for stomps/revives. Use slow & KD to keep melee opponents away so you're not pressured so hard. If you fight like a herald you die immediately, just hang back and disengage quickly, your bleeds are working overtime for you. You're right, that's why I said inherently tough to balance, not inherently overpowered. Similar issues elementalist faces with attunements - you have such a big kit, does ANet make each of your 20+ weapon skills relatively weak so you have to spam faster rotations for the same results as other classes, or do you end up superpowered in skilled hands? Revenant was built around having two legends, so usually two heals, two stunbreaks. Having access to a third legend at a time introduced a balance issue that ANet thus far only fixes by adjusting numbers rather than addressing underlying mechanics. Condi herald relies on torment, condi renegade is better built to rely on bleed. Look at what its traits and short bow synergize with. Try viewing the burning and torment more like cover conditions for your crazy bleeds.
  5. Off-meta ftw. I'm having fun with renegade right now. You can get so much bleed damage with a little investment and put all the rest of your build in utility. I run shiro/jalis condi renegade for the mobility and stability. I like Kalla, but her spirits are kind of a joke in pvp, they get pushed around and cleaved down without even being targeted. Mallyx is great too, but you really need the mobility from shiro. Stability is too important in this stunlock meta too, esp when you desperately need to win downstate game against enemy scrappers. You can get +80% bleed duration with over 1700 condi dmg and +25% bleed dmg. It surprises people losing 30% of their HP a second. You apply bleeding and cover condis often enough that unless someone's got tons of condi cleanse, the pressure stays high. Just stay cognizant of projectile hate and don't waste shots on mesmers while theyre surrounded by pink stuff.
  6. Yeah, 3 utility bars is inherently tough to balance. They slapped Vindi down recently so it's not dominating, but to me it's just bad design. I think it should either have 3 actual legend slots (right now, you dont reset energy going b/w Luxon and Kurzick) and just one weapon set, OR consolidate the legends to one utility bar and lean more into the unique dodge. My simple proposal: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/User:Anonynja/Vindicator_Rework Sure it does. Staff is your defensive weapon. It's true you can do better dmg with it on a power build, but I wouldn't say it doesn't work well on condi. I run mace/axe + staff condi herald all the time. Staff is pure defensive utility with CC, condi cleanse, blind, blocks, and a blast finisher. You can alternatively go sword/shield on herald and get a bit of torment on sword from Abyssal Chill trait. Condi renegade can go sword/axe for the CC, evade, and axe4 port for a more offensive alt set. Hammer is a niche pick, but the projectile block does help secure stomps.
  7. Yes. This is the worst meta I've experienced. PvP will remain a game mode you endure, rather than enjoy, unless ANet ever decides to give it a lot of attention. Competitive integrity, balance, new content, reward structures, revamping HotM... lots on the to-do list if they ever decide it's worth the effort.
  8. Your real complaint is with stunlocks and how stunlock deletes revenant due to our energy system. When most classes can chain one CC after another, the 40 energy cost combined with legend swap cooldown makes stunlock a hard counter to revs.
  9. Literally YOUR first post on this thread, lmao. Pick a lane. Is this requested too frequently or does nobody want it?
  10. Sure. It's not like this is a role-playing game or anything where character creation and fashion are a huge part of the player experience. Choosing your race is only the first choice you make with major consequences for storyline and experience. How could a sixth option possibly add value? 😛
  11. The first responses to this post chastized OP for repeating such a frequent request. Same trend on reddit. You are of course free to disagree with prioritizing a new race, but the truth is lots of people want it.
  12. That's okay. This request gets brought up so often because obviously a huge portion of the playerbase DOES want new playable races. ANet can do multiple things. Like, I don't play WvW. But I'm not poopooing on everyone's requests for WvW to get attention. This is a theme park MMO, everybody's got their favorite rides and the ones they don't care about.
  13. If ANet had allowed you to choose your character's voice instead of making voice actors race-specific, they could have had the freedom to come out with new races like most MMOs. But they dug themselves into a hole with an early design decision, and it would be extremely expensive to make a new race and having to record two new voice actors over every line in the game. But... if they updated character creation to allow us to choose our voice, maybe with a pitch modulator like many games have, they could make a new race and "only" have the armor issue remaining. I think many of us would accept a new race with limited armor options over never getting to play as Tengu or Largos. This request is made so often, I really hate seeing people spit on it with their arguments for why it'll never happen. Y'all know you want new races too and are just bitter. Think outside the box a little.
  14. I'm just gonna echo this every time I see it cuz I think this runs deeper than any particular quibble with a spec or build being OP. Coordinated teams fighting uncoordinated teams is inherently unfair. Competitive PvP games should never place duos alongside solo queue in ranked modes. Unranked, whatever, bring your whole guild and make new players hate the game I guess, but not in ranked.
  15. Are you kidding me?? THAT's why the necro dummy randomly has block... Playing since launch, man. Never knew. Yes, PvP could use love in a lot of ways, and we all know HotM is the most depressing map in the game. Soooo deserving of an overhaul. Lots of good points raised. EDIT: Wanna highlight the point you raised about masteries too. Totally agree that having the Pact movement speed boost messes with training. PvP training area should have PvP conditions, full stop. If it were sections of the map that disabled masteries, that would be awesome.
