Just say i want something viable , that not feel like a burden in comparison with other classes , with a weapon fully dedicated to support or damage not a hybrid one who heals in water , deal damage in fire , or we gonna have to bypass attunements , like weaver who bypass either water/earth or air/earth. Something kinda like the hammer , who can be considered fully dps in all attunements , but not especially damage , can be support too.

Why not make Harmonious conduit give alac when you start overloading (or pulsing while you overload) and a boon when u finish depending of the overload you did and share it with allies within a certain radius , like : -Fire : 5 stacks of might (being able to pull out 25 might , wihtout use of warhorn (i would also increase the size the might is given from the overload itself , not the area of the overload just the boon share from it) -Earth : stab ofc -Water : résolution -Air : fury (for htemp you can change air traitline to arcane and so provide fury without having a full traitline for only sharing fury) I feel like harmonious conduit is the sorry excuse from anet "wants some alac , here !" (throw it like a pile of sshhheeet ). And many other classes having Gm traits giving quickness or alacrity with a bonus , here there is no bonus Scrapper , 10% of might into concentration . Herald +6 secs passiv effect duration . Renegade 2x size of area alacrity , wont even talk about mechs 😁. What do you think of it ?

I agree with that , but at least make it you have to press buttons to deal those damage. What many of you dont understand is the direction the game is taking is complete lazy easiness. And if you want all your content to be that freaking ez , well good for you , ther must be content for everyone . But open world is already fairly ez because you are many times near players who know what to do , and make up for your mistakes when you are completely new to the game (iam pretty sure i can play warrior full minstrel in pve méta event and still succed) there is the challenge apsect of it too , succeeding in something hard , know to be hard for a lot of players is a real satisfaction and getting the reward proportional of the trouble you had to pass trough contribute a lot into it. But that challenge aspect is slowly fading away for me Will be last message for me (i will not lie , i am getting more and more pissed while writing and reading), but you all have interesting point of view , and while i understand some of your statement , there are some i cannot (and dont want) understand. And i have a raidboss to clear afk (nah kidding) Have a nice day all , cheers.

Dont worry i asked , guildmates with 6 mechs rifles raiding , and hovering to 20-28k on some encounters , checked on arcdps 80% of the damage come rifle AA , data ! stop pretending ! or saying ! maybe ! blablabla ! do some tests ! i made tests , i proved my position 28k while afk is dumb ! You could change that to max 15k , i dont think ppl will complain. And for me , it impact my choice , i always try to take what i feel is the more efficient in all encounters . Those are endgame contents , do you think i first try out dhumm cm for my first encounters , no , as many players i trained on vale guardian and escort wiping 75% of the time , but training . Your accessibilty talking , remember me of those people making the sorry excuse that being fat is very sexy , cause they are too lazy to do some sports ! Make the game more accessible , yes ! Not more dumb ! Raptor mounts not being tied to path of fire 1st story is more accessibility. But you are right about exclusivity , the "bolderness" changes to raids , gave them a fresh air renewal , never seen so much lfg for w5 training , and that i agree is a very good thing . So make the content more accessible not the actual class , or else give this access to all other class too.

Yeah targets move , but you know what ? you do those damage 1200 range anyway , hahaha, If mech rifle AA isnt overpowered , then anet can give broken op auto submachine to all classes , i would love my Dh with auto launch set on f1 and spamming AA on longbow dealing 28k . and for your information i tried that afk build on same easy raid bosses , i reached 32k , oh sure i had to move a bit , sure i had to dodge 2-3 times , well is this a mobile with auto resolution ? As for exclusivity , if a build do 28k damage while sleeping then obviously a very high intensity build should do twice the damage ! So your argument here is that most people are lazy to understand the basic of a game : press button game do something ....

What we complain about is patches , buffs , qol always directed in the same direction . It's ok for ranger because he has to press a lot of buttons to have the work done , but indirecly this patches gave the mech another qol while ha alredy was the most braindead dps of the game. You just press 1 button , set everything you can on auto attack and use first rifle skill --> boom ! 28k ! Is that fair to other classes ? who have to do a fully rotation feeling like you are playing a starcraft 2 great master match , when you have an abberation like that easily destroy your benchmark while being afk. I tried a fairly easy rotation on a catalyst i just hovered to all attunements in order , uses all skills off cooldown and i barely reached 26k , why do we have class reaching 28k afk , thats the question ! Any afk class should reach 15k max ! Yesterday we did some raiding , we were 6 to play mech dps , either condi or power , even the people wich i play with said it was stupid to play and boring , but we could make jokes , troll a bit while playing , dancing while dpsing the boss, ... and you think it's normal ? All that do is lowering down the skill level off the game , till this game will play by himself. Arenanet despites Ai players ? well that patches prove the opposite. If that changes was only towards ranger , that was ok and i think no one would ever complain , but thats not the case , i think they are a lot of classes who need some buffs , just tell me , have you seen a weaver performing well in raids latelly ? or a dragon hunter ? or a holosmith ?

Anyway thx for the discussions , i am off

Try AA as a mesmer , gonna see the difference , chrono needed some changes , the class was not played anymore , Mech doesnt need any more updates , as numbers , as mechanics or as qol changes , it was already the most lackluster class of the game. When you do not press any button , you should do 0 damage or at least very little damage . Thats like all games works , you press a button something happen , you press nothing , nothing happen , except in gw 2 it seems .

As a gamer who purchased the game and as every player in the game , yes i can tell what i want just giving my point of view , sure iam not 100% accurate about the changes i state , but so do you . Anet doing what they want anyway so , i have my freedom of speech as you have . And those things are related ! data relate it ! What about class diversity , when i play raids i only see firebrands and mechs all over the place , at this point just delete the rest. Even i play the lazy mech now . anyway i hope anet are gonna give some love to the forgotten E and core specs , cause some of them need it it really hard ! And about player telling anet what they should patch or not , when i see +5% crit.chance into arms (traitline for condi dps warrior) or +5ù crit chance only once attuned in air as ele , well actually any player can tell them what to patch , cause player know the game better than them . Just look at the blob trash comments about the infamous 10 july patch. You gonna tell me this patch was good maybe ?

Not at all , the issue is here anet patching something that shouldnt be patched , what about dragon hunter ? what about ele ? They are turning there effort on something that was already super ez to play and somehow they made it braindead . The main issue is other classes having 0 attention from anet , and sorry to say that but data matters ! a whole class less at 4% in some content mean that this class need a fairly high rework ... So getting a patch to make the most broken class of the game , and iam not only talking about dps , its also about support and healing. Mechs have 6 builds in snowcrow sites , look at ele ? it has 3 , 3 for a whole class .... stop denying there is no problem , ther is a problem , dont know what , but the head of anet must be an iron man fan !

thats another point , but healers and support in this game are also overpowered , they provide evrything so you can full dps and dont care at all. And yes thats a bigger issue , agree.

It has impact ! the impact is frustration , i have waited for 5 years to have a decent heal , support or dps as an ele , and all patches here are about mechs buffs and mech more easiness or "accessibilty" as you call it , pressing f1 is so hard ? well try play weaver then and hit the 35k benchmark , trust me you will never talk again about accessibilty after trying that.

You've never been asked to play something else when you come as tempest/alacheal for fractals cause you dotn give stab nor aegis and have huge gaps in healing rotation ? well i , yes ! Guess what i switched for ?

i do not understand accessibility , having a game that take you by the hand and plays in your place is not a thing called game, for me . They should balance that , as i said 20 times having something dealing so much damage afk isnt normal at all. And there is a gap between accessibilty and easiness , acessibilty is more at how the game introduce you into his mechanics , Vale guardian for example has the 3 mini boss prephase who introduce in every mechanics once at at time , after getting the 3 of them at same time , thats accessibilty for me , explanation . The rifle mech is just pure lazyness dps build and the thing with its popularity is that i am afraid that the whole game will sooner or later , tranform into hybrid pc-mobile game . But accessibilty has many definition i have my own , you have your own.

data : https://gw2wingman.nevermindcreations.de/popularity strangely mech is at at strong 25% in both raids and strikes , guess why ? I like your politics but show me data ! And if you bring up the open world , well you can play naked with a wood plank you will still feel méta in the open world stuff.

Ok with that , so high intensity build should at least do 33% more damage than them , if not ? why even bother playing something complicated when you have the option ? challenge ? ok , challenge needs reward , so if i play my ele i should get 2x more golds and xp and karma and loots than mechs players , sounds fair no ? high risk , high value , low risk low value and the value here is nor the loot or the gold , it's to see that , you doing a perfectly accurate rotation blows away the afk/sleeping builds , and thats not the case atm . if we play this way then every AA in the game should be at least as effective as the rifle engi AA, and there we go for a freaking boring game ....

The problem is , the damage it does with 0 effort at all . 28k while sleeping , drinking a beer , making your laudry whatsoever , you want another to prove that those update are completely stupid... Guy literally doesnt care while catalysts are doing their sweaty workout rotation , and the damage they does is not op , they actually press buttons (thats before THE patch , who raped quick catalyst and banner warrior)... and it gives alacrity !!! kitten .

If you are ok with an afk build doing 28k , well have your way , but anet should do the same to all other classes then.

the build dont hit 28k well , here are facts ! done this morning . And i didnt even put all condi on it , so it should be a little more higher .. just change your mace for rifle and play power and you ok.

here you go . A little far ahead of your 21-23 k , mmm ?

Got one at 28k just fresh from this morning ,...

I am angry cause they keep buffing and ease a build who is already freaking ez and pulls out good dps for a minimal effort (try not to sleep), and they are other class who need a lot love the most quickly possible https://gw2wingman.nevermindcreations.de/popularity dont tell me what you see there is "normal" As for my ele , it's not about it being more viable , it's about just be viable, but he "meta defining" ya know , at 4% play rate all 3 e-specs combined ... And i know my statements can sound very selfish , but thats not the intention.

yep , agreed , but as i always say , you should do damage proportionnaly of the effort you put in , having an afk build hiting 28k is not right .

I agree mostly , but mech is op having like 6 way to play it : condi , power , alac , heal and all those 4 mashed up together , is op ! As for your vid , ty , didnt knew that one . But thats not an afk build 😁. I know i need to chill a bit and take a good fresh breath , but all those changes favoring lazyness , really deosnt appeel to me.

Thats not being elitist (angry , sure i am , atm) but if for you being elitist is just stating that harder classes should be rewarded by more heals more boons or more dps , then yes i am elitist ! You do a freaking hard rotation to do damage , and get ripped apart by an afk build , how is that fair ? tell me ! And if i had a disabilty , i surely would play a low intensity build ! As for your information i sometimes have a a black out ( like 0,5 secs ) due to headwound , then what , i will ask anet to freeze the game for 0,5 secs ?
