can we please make hammer more fun to use in pve? it feels awful and plays awful. the AA is weird but i think it's fine since rev already lacks ranged weapons outside of renegade. honestly hammer for the heavy class just lack any polish.

hey ya'll i enjoy reaper in endgame pve content, and imo, the biggest things i'd personally want for it in pve - they need to buff axe, give reaper a reason to liberally use axe more often without feeling like its a big dps loss, lots of bosses hop around alot, or go out of melee range. buff axe 3 as well. buff off-hand options as well. give reaper shroud more damage mitigation from skill 3, just straight up buff that skill. the stability on it is nice but it needs more. make the self-application of chill on foes generate extra life force (now that they're going to buff chilling nova) buff reaper shroud skill 2, it's a fun skill. needs more. reaper does very well in fights with ads, but needs improved single target dps and steady crit chance. i believe if we improve reaper ranged option, mitigation option in shroud, and life force generation outside shroud we'll get something cool.

Make the 3 orders of tyria more significant and give them side content related to their order, and possibly own storylines. maybe some new story content or side stuff can be added to the orders. finally give us ranks within the order, where we can can kind of rank up in, and maybe display our order rank on our names. the orders of tyria are really cool, and like ffxiv i can see a lot of potential in it.

in my book the best start is ensuring a decent second power option for necromancer class in general, they could make off hand and one handed power weapons like axe do more dmg and be more useful aside from skill 2, and vulnerability on AA. i'm only speaking of these changes geared towards end-game content. reapers often are punished for switching out of GS into an axe 2, there will be uncomfortable moments where your axe is just.. there hanging around, so let's make it less of a penalty to switch to axe and make it stronger so reapers have a decent way of maintaining dps instead of camping greatsword. weapon swapping is healthy, according to anet balance philosophy right? mainhand/offhand dagger could also use a bit of work-on. this power change to pve reaper, can also help core necro for newer players or players who just kind of want to play core, power harb and power scourge even tho for those two it's a meme in end-game, but at least you buff reaper and open up more paths for other alternatives. we need to give players more buildcraft freedom (as long as they work). additionally i think they should give reaper some more crit chance as well, and more access to it solo, we could really use it. finally reaper's whole shtick is we do great cleave dps, but we're not the only ones capable of it. in many cases, bosses are single target with rarely any adds, what we need is most importantly a true buff for reaper to do good dps on single targets. everyone can easily kill trash mobs in gw2 because almost everything is a cleave anyways, reaper's whole cleave shtick is just really dumb, single target enemies happen so frequently, reaper should be given some kind of trait does increased damage to isolated foes (enemies that aren't within x range of another) or something.. or whatever makes more sense. great cleave + increased dmg to single target isolated enemies = will put reaper back into a good benchmark for a selfish dps class.

i can bench only around 29.25 on reaper, the most i've seen however thus far is 29.5. too busy to test out all of them to the precise level but i did spend a lot of time testing ranger runes, scholar runes, and thief runes. so far thief runes is giving me highest bench. i'm not really adept into the math, and of proficient theory crafting so i'll keep going until i can probably hit 30k.

hopium for tengu & largos

on the average of 31-34k? that's insanity lol, are you averaging in the power boon support classes lol? i'd like you to name full dps spec builds in this equation. as far as i am currently aware if you're looking at many of the other power dps classes they bench past 34k to the 40k range. like quickscrapper and bs are offering team support on top of their dps. reaper provides nothing in a meta, no barrier, no boons - that revolves around classes bringing boons in their role compressed builds. not even, regen or prot lol. the most they have is a boon corrupt in raids that barely gives any boons to corrupt lol, even then just play scourge. there's a reason why it's highly uncommon for a reaper to be top dps in any raids ever, even in stuff like KC. luckily though the scene is not so as toxic as to throw away reapers (it's not in the shitter yet but it may as well be), because many other classes can offer far more dps + boon generation even when it comes to might, fury, prot, regen, vigor share. the only reason this spec isn't dead is because of the fans of the reaper archetype enjoyers. i can't imagine anyone playing reaper specifically for high end content (because alot of it is single target dps based), it makes sense in open world and more mid tier content though where reapers are good at grinding up trashy forgettable mobs.

reaper dps is fine in open world, the problem is high end content. reaper dps falls flat unless you're really good. even then, you're not beating a really good x class especially if they're condi. chances are they already bench far more dps than your 32k, and you don't even offer buffs, quickness, or alacrity. have a look at other classes and what they can do + their dps. the fact that you're completely forgetting this aspect is problematic. reaper is playable, it's definitely not unplayable, but compared to other classes especially in terms of dps this class should be doing way more especially towards single targets.

well, if you guys are still looking for a casual-hardcore chill guild to do stuff with. the small guild we have is trying to do t4s and raids. feel free to send me a mail, and ask me any questions. I can extend an invitation.

all classes & race. the "fused shoulder" have a specific dye channel where the glow part is dyeable. there is a bug or long standing issue with the "fused guantlets" where the glow part is not dyeable despite there CLEARLY existing a dye channel for it. this should be fixed to synergize well with the new fused shoulders.

i made a build for you, this requires reaper. if you want to see an army of minions, this is it. this is my favorite minion meme build. you want the ogre rune as discount scholar rune and more importantly for one more rock dog/minion. you're free to switch deadly strength for necromantic corruption, deadly strength is better overall for yourself because it also provides power per carapace stack. this build gives good toughness as long as you maintain most of your minions. always want to be using the shout skill to maintain the shambled horrors. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PSwEE6MssAWFjhNxGxT1qsVD-zRIYRUzXG1WBVkCmNA-e

I like your guild name, if you guys are NA and still recruiting then I'm interested in joining. my tag is my username.

Ok so I know ANET has been releasing banger after banger with these warclaw skins, i really like them, and i'm sure alot of people do. The problem is the fact that we only really just use it in wvw, and hardly in pve. I think they should include warclaw in PvE more, making it where warclaw move slower than raptor normally but move faster than raptor on rough terrain like steep hills (something raptors and beetles aren't good at) it'll be good for running through steep hills, additionally give warclaw a momentary superspeed skill. Would be a fun addition!

i'd love to join but i'm too broke and already wasted my free transfer to this now dead guild in devonas rest (sincerely old ebay player)

completely reinstall the entire game, and try disabling your antivirus to see if that fixes anything during the download. see if your internet is stable, it sounds more like a client-side problem than it is with the game, most people including me had no problem downloading it. if you're using windows it could also be due to a bad flow of packets, which you can try adjusting in the sharing center from your control panel.
