i always thought its 4 seconds till you can overload........ today i learned /sarcasm
no it's 5 , you are your own source of alacrity , if you blow up your alac it's 5 secondes to have the overload , not counting water and earth overlaod are bugged ... loose 1 pulse of alac whenever under the effect of quickness ... tested !
https://gw2wingman.nevermindcreations.de/popularity i know i show this thing a lot but let's appreciate the 0% playrate on fractals and the average 1% in strikes for tempest ... i know the API is bugged , but i am sure it's no way far from 0% .
Anet there is a problem with tempest , yes it is bad , useless and bugged ...

firebrand, or heal alac mechanist ( you can go power mechanist when solo)
Completely agree , mech is easy to play as support and as dps , in OW pew pew mech tears apart 75% of the content with little trouble and the support is one of the best alac provider of the game.

Indeed stealth nerf , don't know why though , not like sword weaver condi is a thing ....

I understand the point , all e-specs have obvious melee design .
Tempest with overloads .
Weaver with the sword , while you can use scepter as a range weapon .
Catalyst with hammer , with obvious design to be played by hammer for energy management (no other weapon has so many multi-hit skills) and hammer is a peculiar weapon being half melee , half ranged (but way more efficient melee).
There are indeed option for range , but they are too few for a "mage" .
And staff is now more sort of a support weapon .
If they make a new e-spec , i don't care the weapon it will use , but plz at least 900 range .

Whenever my character says that , i always though he is cooking ...
I think all ele players must have their character scream "don't rez me ! i am doing my rotation! " when you go down , followed by a "Meowww" if you play charr .
1st April is near btw .

i too thought they would add a bit more runes/sigils out of eod (new stats too)
We have the firebrand rune who is great on condi/quickness , adding the same variations to quickness/power , alacrity/condi and alacrity/power could help some e-specs .
Dps alacrity are often asked in the lfg , as not many ppl like to play those (i personnaly don't like any alacrity/dps except mirage)
Runes could go like that :
+25 power or condi / +10% alac. or quickness / +50 power or condi / +10% boon duration /+100 power or condi / +20% alac or quickness and +125 expertise or precision . Mating a bit from firebrand and pack runes.

Yes , they keep the runes/sigils/infusions you get into that template.

Mixed feelings personnaly , some maps seems unfinished (néo kaineng in particular) the new métas are okey-meh , some e-specs are good and some are badly designed , the story is average .
The real good addition of this expansion is the way strike missions works , having it tied to personal story (normal and very easy mode) and then having those as strikes missions , with a challenge mode is a good thing to me , there is challenge for hardcore players , and new players feel a bit more confident to enter a normal strike mission cause they have done the "story" version of it .
Whish they do the same to raids.
And the worst addition is , to me , Fishing ! boring , lazy , ... can't find out all the adjectives to describe it , perfect if you want to take a nap - you do 5 minutes of fishing and fall asleep , i guess it is a good way to spend time while queing for pvp or wvw (and metas when queue for it will be implemented) , but to me fishing has nothing to do in such an mmo , to think that was the first selling point of the game .... hopefully they added the jade bot who saved the day for masteries.

What a lot of people don't like is the cast time , if you don't want to deal with it , then this patch is a straight nerf to mantras (-1 ammo full , not for Fb elite though) .
But while Fb mantras have a pretty strong effect on the last charge , mesmer is leaved with some weird effects , like reload f3 (2.25 cast time to reload that) add some might , and the heal who is the only one in my opinion who got way better , making it a 10 sec cd strong heal.
Think anet need to look into mesmer mantras , Fb is fine , i don't like the huge cast time , but heh can't always have things suited your way .

Underwater is crappy for a lot of specs , rev. can't use kalla underwater , pits don't work for chrono , but the 1st place for most unusable e-spec is indeed the mech .
Necro has his flesh golem turning in a ba dass undead shark , why can't we have a "submarine" version of the mech underwater ?
Think it's too much animation work for a dead content who is underwater fight ?
-
Thats the problem all other domes or walls are very window like and clear , not so much effect , you can see clearly trough.
But for that one you have that cloudy effect going back and forth , the "distorted space" make it look like your character is drunk , i fail mechanics cause of that stuff ...
And setting my shaders from high to medium is a tune down , but as i said , thx for the tip i will surely use it as a resort solution , just hope anet make that thing a firebrand like dome , but just green , i franckly think that it was made for pvp to visually confuse your enemy.

Turn shaders in the graphics setting to medium so you don't get the horrible green effect.
So i have a to tune down graphics because i have an untamed in my team ... sorry don't want to feel salty , i appreciate the idea (at least one solution) but you get my point , it's like i have to wear special glasses whenever i have an ele or mesmer in my team cause flashy lights ...

Any weapon (even a mace) but with a full skillset at least 900 range to 1200 range , we are playing elementalist , in any other mmo it's a ranged class , here 3 e-specs have obvious melee design : tempest Ol , sword for weaver , hammer , all mostly melee ...

There is a same topic about that , and i franckly think that making those two skills targetable aoe would be way better , so you can choose to move to your target or go away (with or without targeting) and aslo choose the range of it (like druid staff 3 , but with a trail of fire or earth spikes)

Yep tested too i can confirm i end up about 11 secs of alacrity when overloading fire , and ended up 9 secs of alacrity in earth ...
Ele is truly a master player game class , now you have to avoid quickness in fights in order to give full alacrity ... interesting concept !

they made the CD reduction baseline for the skills. Which means, you can now use these WITHOUT HAVING TO RUN THE WATERTRAITLINE!
No , cleansing fire , armor of earth , mist form and tornado have not the cd reduction (some have in pvp , but pve none) , proof :

Hello ,
Don't know if i am the only one that have issues with that skill , but "enveloping haze" is a visual nightmare to me .
Whenever the untamed use it i can barely see trough , it has some distorsion trough and is vomit green (almost fell like someone puked on my screen)
Could it have the same treatment as catalyst sphere had , reducing the opaqueness of this skill ?
And before somebody ask , i run everything at maximum quality.

It has been mentioned by players, I can't remember exactly where though.
Tested on the golem with and without quickness , same duration at the end of the OL +- 10 secs in the two cases , which leaves you with 6 secs free to start another overload ... great gameplay ... this i swhy ele needs sand squall to upkeep that tight timing .-

HFB, HAM, HAT and HQherald are the best all round healers. Druid can fill in most of the time but simply lacks in stabi/aegis
druid has better aegis than Hat , white tiger can pull off an aegis every 25 secs , and while stab isn't great on druid , still better than healmech (2 glyph can give you stab , and one is a pulsing stab) , and in term of pure healing , the avatar can simply play yoyo healing with all your group , what a hat or healmech can't do cause healemch has poor healing , but great accessibility , and Hat has strong healing , but poor accessibility .
So overall druid , hfb and healmech are the most played for a good reason , while Hat and his cluncky alac is behind them all , source ? https://gw2wingman.nevermindcreations.de/popularity Hat was at 2.3% right after patch , now it's already under 2% , ppl tryed and are now running away from it , while in strikes it goes up i agree , still healmech and hfb are far higher than him.
Pulsing alacrity isn't enough and it's funny now that you struggle more to upkeep it ...

Just replace the equipement slot you need as ritualist or draconic with celestial , you won't even notice the difference.
The post is a bit controversial , as example when i needed a specific world boss for a leg weapon collection , it bored me to death to wait for that world boss to spawn (and doing it , is actually also boring), so much i fell asleep and actually ... missed the boss , great ... 2 hours more to wait (kitten you , too confortable gaming chair)
Almost everything is available in OW , you just miss actually those two new stats and the leg. pve armor.
Think about us , having some stuff locked behind boring content that our eyes can't even stand open , and i am not joking , falling asleep is an actual problem for me , it happens so many time when i try fishing ... and on boring OW metas .
In gw 2 , there are Ow players , endgame pve players , pvp players , wvw players , you cannot satisfy them all , really pisses me off to do wvw for a leg. weapon , but i get over with .

Still don't know why cleansing fire isn't a group cleanse. It'd get useful even in pve 😮
In pve it would be a great add indeed , but think about that in pvp or wvw. (the added might is purely for pvp/wvw , you don't care about self might in pve)
One main problem with balancing things is thinking about the impact it has in both pve , pvp and wvw . They can change it on differents levels for each part of the game , but they avoid making it too complicated , like completely having another effect on a skill (like firebrand heal : giving aegis in wvw/pvp , and prot. and resolution in pve).
They just need to get over with , separate completely each game modes , make all skills that need to be tuned down weaker in specific game modes , while making them powerfull enough in another mode , like in gw 1 ... get the skill completely different or act differently.
look , elementalist ... you barely see one in pve ... and in pvp last tournament it was 5 ele versus 5 ele ... complete unbalance ... how can you balance a class like that to be competitive in each game modes , it is obvioulsy a monster in pvp , but is only played by high apm kinda elite players in pve (a very low % of the playerbase) So they really need to get ridoff their mind "If we get this skill x more y in pve , it is gonna be op in pvp ..." no just make the skill less powerfull in pvp , add more cd , remove half of the boons it get if you think it is too much.

If balance updates , new rewards , rework of traits or skills are not content updates , then wvw players have been without content updates for ... when did the warclaw came out ? and not talking about pvp either then .
free to you to think what you want Op , but having something that shake up the meta is content .
Example : i never played vindicator before it got buffed to 2 dodges , and now i like it .

What would have been great is to make those skills little aoe target , like druid 3 staff , you go where you want , max range or somewhere between and the direction you need, it would just loose like 1/4 sec of reactivity for the players who have the habit to play with it.

not even, the golem alone is enough to upkeep 100% alac
Golem can maintain 66% of alac completely afk , and if you choose to "auto" all his skills it's easy 100% alac , fury , might , with some prot. , aegis , and stab . .... vs a tempest who has to go trough overloads , but all that trouble make tempest a far more efficient healer no ? not at all ! Think people don't want an easy healer as mech is , but at least not such punishing mechanics .

Whats the current state of revenant?
in Revenant
Posted · Edited by zeyeti.8347
If you play in Ow i can suggest the "jumping vindi" , while it is a bit stupid to play , it is well fun to watch , just play with a superior sigil of stamina , use all increase damage traits , be sure to have fury covered (with Roiling Mists) and just dodge/land kill everything , you will do an infinite loop of "iron man" landing on bubble of mob , while being on a dodge 90% of the time .
Does not work very well on high hp lonely targets .
