    The Rune I wait for..

    in Ranger

    Posted

    I play druid, ever since they removed the -20% pet stats. I've looked for and not finding it, turned to waiting for a Power, Healing. Set of 6 runes. Yea, I know 7% won't make much of a difference but I still want em. =P

    3070 very high gpu temps

    It's your opinion that 48fps is terrible, but it's my opinion that the difference between 48 and 60 is extremely marginal/negligible. It's well known that GW2 is a CPU intensive game anyway, a high end GPU isn't going to do much, and like I said my 3070 runs at a very cool ~50° which ensures the longevity and health of my card for a very long time for when I want to play more modern games.

    Edit: I'll add the fact that I play at 4k resolution.

    You shouldnt limit to 48fps on 3070, plus gw2 is harder on CPU and not GPU anyway. I do limit my fps at 200, but only in empty areas you will need it where fps goes very high. In open world/instanced content you'll be sittin at 50-120 fps mostly anyway. And in metas it gets crazy ~30-35 only, so its more about figuring out what kind of sync do u want (vsync/gsync or off), thats the main issue with low FPS on high end GPUs. Somethings not right tho, maybe OP has to check fan curves, maybe fans are sitting on idle. On my 3070 i barely get to 60degrees even in "busy" areas. Ofcz 80 degrees is not really concerning but i dont think its normal for gw2. 

    Just a bit of info. 1080 the cpu means alot in gaming.

    4k... most of it is the graphics card unless the gpu has around 4g of ram then alot of cpu is used juggling graphical data between system ram and gpu ram.

    Elementalist: Glyph of Elementals

    in Elementalist

    Posted

    It summons a full elemental actively.

    What if it had a passive. While it's loaded into the Elite slot the Glyph of Lesser elementals would have no timer to despawn. As soon as you used it actively the Lesser elementals would despawn and the Full elemental would spawn... or it could be a Greater Elemental.

    Constantly cycling through the summons, keeping watch every second at all times. That sort of thing is fine to me in Hard mode content but open world? I like to relax and enjoy casual content. timer watching is stressful to me.

    Could be only 1 of each elemental or 4 of any elemental combination like it is now.

    Elevated Compassion

    in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

    Posted

    I've played Herald for a while and there was something I noticed but didn't feel compelled to report.

    Elevated Compassion only, occasionally, works when you are giving someone a buff they don't have.

    the description and 3s cooldown makes it seem that it should work everytime I buff a person even if the buff is there already, just refreshing or adding a stack,

    So when is the Pet elite type coming?

    oh, and @kharmin.7683

     

    these are developer quotes from 2014, maybe actually read them? After you read them, you tell me what has been really addressed and why we should make a "pet focused" elite? 

     

    • “Removing the pet was something that was discussed in initial design of the class, but it is such an integral part of the Ranger’s design and philosophy. There might be some ways that we can redesign the pet and it’s AI, but those are big projects. For the time being, we are happy to take any suggestions regarding the pet.”

    •  

    • “There are definitely things that need to be done to fix Ranger pets in general, and it’s something we are well aware of.”

    •  

    • “Before things get out of hand, I want to address the aspect idea so we can move on. First of all, it’s a great idea, but there are many current issues with the profession that need to be addressed first. Our priorities to make the pet a more viable option will likely remain higher than giving an option to “permastow” the pet. We recognize there are a number of issues with the pet AI and general functionality, so that is something that will come first. Rangers are first and foremost a pet class, but they are also great skirmishers and some of the best sustained long range damage. I don’t want you to think we’re going to ignore the idea or the feedback around the pet, but it could very well be the case that fixing some of the major nagging issues with the pet would make it a more desirable aspect of the Ranger.”

    •  

    • “That is exactly my point. We want to make sure we’ve done everything we can to make the pet desirable before we consider any options for those that don’t want to play with the pet as much.”

    •  

    • “We want to fix issues with the pet AI and general usability before we consider doing something to this extent.”

    •  

    • “We acknowledged that Pet AI does need help, but we did not say we would not be doing this. You will see some changes in the coming feature patch that should help with the pet’s usability.”

    •  

    • “We didn’t make this thread specifically to get feedback on the pets. It just happens to be one of (if not the biggest) the top issues with Ranger right now.”

    •  

    • “That is perfectly valid feedback. Like I said though, we do have some changes coming that should help with this. Particularly with the one you noted (F2).” (This is regarding F2 responsiveness)."

    •  

    • “The Ranger is designed to have a pet. If the pet was taken away or didn’t do damage, then it wouldn’t be a Ranger anymore. Does that make sense? The only reason Rangers lose damage is because the AI is not currently what it ought to be. What I’ve been seeing a lot of is that you guys don’t necessarily dislike pets. What you dislike is how they act and how they are controlled. It seems to me that these are feelings that have been built up over time, and have culminated into “pets have to go” because you guys haven’t seen the improvements that should be made to pets to make them desirable. I certainly don’t blame you for getting to this point, but I do want to know the core of the problem before we start talking about rebalancing an entire class.”

    •  

    • “Perhaps, but what people were suggesting was a rebalance of the class to make up for the current state of pet AI. In essence, that would mean tweaking the numbers of all Ranger traits and skills to account for the lack of pet.”

    •  

    • "Hey everyone, I’ve tried to summarize most of the feedback we’ve been getting. (shortened to highlight pet stuff)Beastmastery & Pets:

      1. Pets need stat scaling.
      1. Stats could scale based on the Ranger’s stats and the pet’s family, with a weight on specific stats based on the individual pet
      1. Beastmastery should improve the pet stat scaling.
      2. Pets should take less damage from AoE and one-shot mechanics.
      1. Pets should take 30% damage from AoEs, be immune to one shot mechanics and take 25% damage from cleaves when not the selected target.
      2. Pets can’t keep up in combat.
      1. Melee range should be increased to 600 to accommodate the “run>stop>begin attack>cancel attack>run>stop” type mechanics you see throughout the game.
      1. Increase pet movement speed by 10-15%. Replace Agility Training with Vigorous training
      1. Pets have a hard time sticking to their target because they can’t attack and move at the same time. Increasing their speed could help increase their damage by just allowing them to keep up with their target.
      1. Allow pets to attack while moving."

    Hi!
     

    Not sure how long you’ve been playing, but I can say with confidence that the greater community of Rangers (since the beginning) have been trying to lessen the need for pets, get more options to get rid of the pet entirely (sb was a small step), and have begged for a host of other non-pet related improvements because pets hamper this class in many ways. This is due to all the issues pets have by their original design (that will never get fixed at this point or completely recoded), and they end up screwing over this profession more than they are helpful. 

     

    Next elite should be completely Ranger focused, not subpar pet focused. 
     

    Have a great one! 

    9-1-2016 (Edit: Whoops, that was Heart of Thorns. Lost my reciept to the original) was the day I got Gw2. I got it for the Charr and the Ranger pets. The pets have been disappointing for a while. Each time an Elite spec was coming out I would hope. Then untamed came out. I was so excited... then.. It was just more of the same on every pet. It's just remote skill triggering. Plus that ugly green overlay... blegh.

     

    (Completely off topic, the original female charr voice actor had an incredible voice.)

    We've got the healer.

    We've got the Take strength from our pet and make it out own.

    We've got the Dope your Pet with Power it can't control and needs you to do it for it.

     

    So why not an actual Pet Elite.

     

    Hell, it could be an enhancement that gives you the ability to Tame pets that normal hunters can't. A Master Tamer. Unlocking a new Page of pets just for it. Each Elite pet would be 1 of a kind and not a set of "Here's 5 pets. They're not the same because the each have 1 skill different and they're different colors." And do not get me on the new Phoenix... it is using all Wyvern animations. The flippin bush pet still seems to be the highest DPS pet available.

    Skiff button

    Teeny tiny, that button is easily misclicked. So if you're carrying an event item. Like Eye of the Ocean, that will vanish when you accidentally hit Fishing... well all the effort you put into finding a hideout and getting through the fight is gone to waste...

    Just got the Expansion

    in Ranger

    Posted

    I saw all these things that support pet and jumped right in. Spent money I shouldn't have. It's fun! Then .... I saw ranger pets.

     

    I was Always upset with out cookie cutter the pets were. Skin changes. A skill change. Stats same. Most skills same. In family of course. Now the 1 skill I could control is Erased and replaced with other skills.

     

    *sigh*

     

    I was really hoping that the pets would have a more.. dynamic differnce between each other amongst family. Instead... they're all covered in green crap and given identical skills I can control.

     

    Nope.

    Core Ele Elite Skills

    in Elementalist

    Posted

    I kinda wish the Elementalist summons would work like the Necromancer's. Constantly cycling through them as I play is a pain in the tail. 1 of each elemental at most. Choosing which ones to be Lesser and which single to be Elite.
