So, when you spend the 200G do you get the mount skin? Oh right, you don't, what you get is a reward track which is content you need to complete to receive a reward. Sounds very similar to how you can buy a living story episode and get rewards when you complete it. HMM

We do have focus with 1200 range spinal shivers, but it's not a mainhand and just 1 skill. I'd definitely like to see a true range spec for necro.

You cannot progress past that point in the story until you unlock the Springer. I recommend just checking the wiki when you find yourself in a position like that. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Springer. Will make your life a lot easier. I'm in the same position as you 40+ working full time, kids etc. I played from release for 5 years and then quit up until about a month ago. Wiki has guided me through getting back into the game.

I don't know about anyone else but I totally miss the old trait system when you could do that.

Well you are talking about 'fundamental principles of good pvp game balance' seems to me a statement like that is very broad and encompasses more then just a single class. Now maybe you want to explain how it removes choice and/or how it breaks game balance. Because you actually haven't made any sort of point in this topic.

Oh no doubt mag is a t1 server, especially with the SBI link. We seem to have good coverage at almost all times save for a few hours here and there.

Hmm, does Mesmer shatter also break "fundamental principles of good PvP game balance:choice"?

Yeah except the part they aren't telling you. Oh we tried to take back our keep and lost the fight now mag is spawn camping us instead. Repeat once the other team also opens their keep. I actually play on mag, I actually see whats happening on our end. And that's exactly what it is, bouncing back and forth trying to keep both 'summer homes'.

lol it's literally not though. Yes mag only cares about SMC and takes it and tries to keep it full wipe. Yes mag likes to take enemy keep and spawn camp. But, it's just bs to say mag seige humps smc. There is almost never anything built in SMC on mag other then trebs. Yes plenty of trebs to hit towers. Ac/catas/defensive siege lol no, nobody bothers. That's just because a scout called a group out somewhere else or a EWP was pulled. Mag does very well to respond to scout callouts. Even mid-seige of a keep mag will dip and go take care of another area then come back.

How is that off-topic? You said all classes/professions can't do all content and they just asked which ones can't do what.

Don't forget speed of rune has swift duration as well, which makes spectral walk CD pretty close to the amount of swift it gives. Then if you have any sort of boon stealing skills or traits, you'll likely get swift often. Of course you also get swift from teammates, so Speed rune comes into play a lot more then you might think. I use them on both power Scourge and Reaper and it's a gamechanger for me.

lol that is definitely truth.

This isn't other games. This is gw2. In gw2 there are no "ranged classes" or "melee classes" every single class has ranged and melee options and even combinations of them. No class has a main weapon. Arguing this is just making you look silly here. Also, Ranger LongBow is an amazingly effective weapon especially in wvw. And barrage is not useless in any encounter 😄

I have no idea if its similar on other servers. But on Maguuma we regularly have "spies" from enemy servers who sit all day popping tactics and do stuff like burning supply building rams inside a tower. They openly admit to this.

It could just work off the orange swords. If you're in an area with active orange swords, w.e debuff to ressing you guys want could be applied.

This is how I run it. No idea if it's close to the build templates online or anything. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PSABs+d3lNweYeMEmJOSPrvaA-zRIYR4HjOVQoUw+A-e I find it to be much tankier then my Reaper build. Everything you do with this build corrupts boons and gives them to you. All your shades will clear condies when cast and give barrier. F3 for more barrier and clear on short CD and f2 for convert conditions to boons also short CD. You will want to do "spectral rushes". Using spectral walk to go in the middle of the enemy zerg and use shroud,elite, aoe corrupts from weapons and your heal to corrupt a lot of boons and do a lot of damage then just walk back into safety. I generally drop well of corruption before my rush to soften them up a bit. When not rushing, use your #3's on weapons liberally and use Spinal Shivers to snipe people under 50% hp with boons. You just got to get used to dropping those shades for the barrier/clears and passive defense bonus. If you want to be much more tanky for and lose a little(not alot) of your damage, switch Spite to Bloodmagic and take bloodbank. You will always have a fat barrier in zergs due to overhealing.

Yeah I noticed that. That group was actually 9 rangers 2 engi and 1 ele. Got boring real quick.

Hey I'm just a bystander whos been reading this thread. But I have to say, sure technically that was the "challenge" for your "community event" but we all know what the real argument of the *thread was about, and you lost it 100%. You failed to prove the claims you had made, and hobo sure performed in a superior way in the fight.

That's funny, I've just come back to this game after being away around 5 years and I remember this exact topic from back then. My answer was, I like the "feature" and I've met so many cool people from enemy teams. Block is a thing, and I think it is enough.
