The majority of my gold comes from this since I work full time (and crafting). I only really play Instanced content and PvP. When I play more actively Open World will beat it but rarely

I do this but I still want it to be faster so regardless of how I don't use the LFG panel properly I would still like to see queing system like that of PvP and WvW. Most of the Strikes/Raid/Fractals even CM's are honestly not that hard to do I just suggested a way to speed it up. The main barrier I face it coordinating the group since you have to look for defined roles and if the game allowed you to select which role you play it would be alot faster again.

I don't have time; 2 kids work full time. Fractals take like a second to set up while Strikes take up to an hour

We have it for PvP and with the addition of more defined roles you could easily have a way to pick the role you want to que as and jump into that content. You should be able to que as a DPS, Quickness, Alacrity or Healer (Tank for Raid/Strikes). I'm saying this because I think the biggest barrier to entry now for end game content is the LFG system, where you end up sitting in a lobby for 1 hour+. It's all good saying play at peak times but what if I don't have time to get a static or play at peak and just want to jump into a Pug. Its currently more time consuming than it's worth doing anything other than Fractals consistently. I just hope that someone is generous enough to sit around waiting in the LFG long enough for it have more than a few people before I join.

I keep forgetting the removed the cap from Beta, they really just need to make it generate a blade every 2 or even 1 second to keep up with the condition version.

I have said it before but the best way to re-add the second dodge is to put a cooldown on the Ambush (like Untamed) That doesn't really prevent your PvE playstyle being carried across but it does prevent what players found most frustrating about fighting mirage which was the crazy burst while being Immune to CC and damage. A simple 10 second cooldown would largely stop it being anything close to how dominating it was before and the second dodge would not give the class to much invulnerability since Virtuoso has the same playstyle.

They should just make it better. Keep it simple just change it into a passive blade regen while in combat. This would also help with down time between phases rather than spamming skills to get blades back.

US and T4 and know idea on timezone i live in NZ

Very true maybe we will get a good 4 stat armor with healing power in the future, a bit like the Dragon armor stats. Yeah, I'm seeing it more and more. Again, I have run entire Fractals (even CMs) with some of the strangest DPS + Support builds, where I had to even play Inspiration Virtuoso since the healing was so bad.

Honestly play something consistently enough that you can play it in your sleep. I have over half my games as Ranger, originally Soulbeast and then Untamed and my build has not really changed since I conceived it. The only and mean only reason I can play in the top 250 is because I am very good at what I do. I know the relative strength of everyone I face and can judge how to proceed when engaging them. I think the funniest one is other Rangers especially Soulbeast since they all play Greatsword + Longbow, with the odd Axe/Axe player mixing it up. I use the same strategy every time which is save Pet-Unleashed F3 for Ranged and Axe Ambush / Entangle for Melee Engagement.

I have seen on rare occasions more role compression. Fractals in particular go much smoother if everyone is providing damage so having one dedicated Support that provides boons and heals is not always the best idea. With the newer Support DPS fill the role of Alacrity and Quickness, there is a future in this type of content for a DPS Healer. Normally I see this in form of a Scourge or Mechanist but I don't see why Vindicator can't. Also I have told people if they do want play Vindicator (or even Virtuoso) as a Healer then just say your a DPS and secretly heal.

EDIT: Protected Phantasms + Persistence of Memory Somehow, I keep copying wrong parts of the Wiki

True, maybe if Vassals of the Empire Extended boons by 2 seconds it could be a viable pick for Strikes or Raids. I guess the real reason is Healers in general are pretty redundant in most content since it's not really keeping people alive, rather it's the boons that do.

I think that's kind of the point. Revenant is all about Support plus something. The entire spec is about mixing two roles, it was never meant to be played purely one way. Herald: Boons, Quickness + Power DPS Renegade: Self-LifeSteal, Alacrity + Condition DPS Vindicator: Self-Heal Buff, Burst Heals + Burst Power DPS

I didn't like that style of Phantasm Spam; I still use Berserkers. EDIT: Protected Phantasms + Persistence of Memory

The pre-EoD builds still work. I can still solo Champion Bounties with the same Phantasm spam strategy as before. The main different now is we have good access to Alacrity Via Wells. Before this it was kind of a waste of time since from memory you had to wait for the Well to end to get the boons. They also buffed Phantasmal Defender so now is even better at AoE Stalling in the Open World. It is also much more viable to do builds like Relentless Pursuit + Persistence of Memory for great Aegis uptime since they buffed Chronophantasma.

Nope but it would give me the option to do them to getting both the Daily reward for the completing the Raid and the Daily itself. I mean the PvP Dailies is much better than the PvE Vista/Harvesting Dailies.

My entire suggestion is to balance them around Dailies and Weeklies.

I would love to see Deadeye provide Quickness; it can already provide Might and Fury to nearby Allies. It kind of makes sense. Much like Ranger, no matter what Elite you play you can provide a vital Boon. Saying that it does limit the potential Elites that can come in the future and might result in (I'm willing to bet they do this) a Revenant + X class mix. This means selecting that Elite will lock you out of any Utilities like Revenant. Yeah, Scrouge is already Amazing as it. Honestly give it to Reaper its already suffering and would really synergies well with lower cooldowns + Self-Quickness.

I just wanted a Weekly and by extension a Daily for Raid and Instanced Content in general. Similar to Fractals and Strikes but just make them better. A Daily specific Raid/Strike to complete Any (3 maybe?) Raids to complete for that Week.

Renegade already has Alacrity so it would be redundant. Unless you did like Mirage Ambush but there isn't a mechanic like that for Vindicator.

Exactly so for example someone can login do a Raid and not feel like they missed out because the Raid can tick that Daily box to.

I more meant it prevents one activity being outright better since everything contributes to the daily. I mean they should bring the proper weeklies back too I'm not to sure why they removed it.

I guess that is true, I know most people play PvP because its less effort even if it really isn't so bad to do the Map dailies. I'm really just asking for more options for Dailies. This is by far the best way to balance PvE/PvP content since it doesn't make any one content better gold per hour. Everyone can get the Daily why not let people get with the content they want to play.
