Hammer damage is just so much more reliable, has a CC that resets damage and you can play off jade winds, has an evade, and a block on a short cd AND 1700 DMG ranged attacks. Hammer is sooo much better.
Right now everyone just invulns or blocks sword 3, sword 5 is unreliable, and sword 4 is so slow they use a movement ability to avoid it.
They should just start with changing sword 3 to instant cast 900 range and see what kind of effect it has
You trade off a shadowstep that ignores Y axis. Incredible tool for chasing down people and escaping. I can't remember every time I shadowstepped out of kill hungry raids.
Not sure about Sword 5 2nd attack being unreliable though. I do have scenarios when people simply walk out of it, but it never got to the point that I wanted to throw my screen out in the window like S3 xD -
Should post that at GvG bros discord, that's where cool kids post stuff for devs to implement. Leave us and our echo chamber alone.

Something that permaCCs or spams AoEs that corrupt boons or apply a bunch of debilitating conditions would be great. Basically, Rev's own variation of dumbing down the game 🙂
Or maybe something with smoke fields or stealth?-

Power herald roamer...sounds more like free food for 90% of popular roaming specs nowadays.
And you are not wrong, it's lacking some damage. It's great as +1 spec, similarly to spvp, but it is just too vulnerable currently. Running zerk with rolling mists sounds like a good way to make things count. Durability runes should, in theory, make you less glassy too.
Are you going to run double swords with staff or SB + staff? Double Swords + GS? (full aggro mode kekw)

Sword 2, 4 and 5 are fine. If UA would be less buggy then that'd be just great.
Double swords is still better than hammer in many situations, but I am happy that hammer is no longer a meme. Comparing to scepter kekw

So it's on par with Willbender, Scrapper, Thief, Catalyst and Mesmer you say?
A good thief can't lose, it will just rotate stealth until it manages to land burst or steal (depending on your class, essence sap from rev is kind of stupid strong), and it's not every day that you will meet a thief of that caliber. Harbringers are everywhere, however, and they don't require nearly as much skill. But yeah, stealth is just broken, it is what it is.
Mesmer pistol + dagger is overloaded, but it has the same weaknesses as harb with the only difference being that it can simply walk away easier.
I know noone likes Willbender nowadays, but all those OMG ONESHOT DMG Willbenders I met were so squishy. Get some unblockables and dodges?
Cele Windi is annoying, but in my opinion Vindi/Rene cele bow is worse.Catalyst has some meme specs that can oneshot squishy people, but otherwise I almost never see them anymore. Not saying that ele main/one trick isn't a PITA to fight though, but why do something on ele that can be done with 10 times less effort on a different class nowadays...
And what about Scrapper? Nades again?-

Now this is exactly like other games: If you are bad, you lose. If you lose, you are bad. So try to focus on winning or getting better and blame developers les
Said by the guy who blamed guild auras for killing dueling scene.
Feels like I am reading posts from old twitter or some very delusional subreddit.

Even more worse is deso. Yesterday their blob guild chased with 50 a little grp of 5 players and did trow blueprints on them and that several times. They even need to portal bomb with 50 NPC's 1 solo player. What is this?
Looks like the game got super toxic in WvW lately.
Oh that's just their understanding of dueling, given what their comms post on these forums. They do really love the idea of necro master spec, so they bring 49 NPCs with them when they want to duel somebody.

So I have played catalyst with mostly Berserker and some trinkets with cele on it and I can not even make a dent on Harbringer before my HP goes down to zero. Weapons is Scepter/Dagger and Dagger/Dagger. What the heck is going on?
This have now happen 4-5 times, so what can I do to at least have a chance to kill Harbringer when I try to take camps?
Trait is Fire and Arcane for dodge blast on earth. Do I have to replace rest of my gear with Cele or have Vitality attribute to even have a chance?
EDIT: What skill do Harbringer have that lift one in the air as that happened once while fighting.
Harbringer is that type of dumbed down broken, braindead spec that requires very little and gives way too much, but they do have one weakness - they hate reflects. Trying to outcleanse all Harb's condi burst is usually a thankless task.
I really hate people playing that spec, just as much as I hate permadaze spam from Mesmer dagger, but I learnt to counter both successfully. Worst case scenario nowadays: they'll just try to walk away. -

This was absolutely necessary change and good for WvW. Objectives were not a spot to fight in, making players stack more and more to servers that are so strong that they can go inside objectives without it being trolling. Guilds were avoiding objectives and dueling scene died, because objective auras were just too strong. Ofc not everyone knew why enemy objectives were unfun to fight in, but they still felt it and avoided them.
Of course you are right that they should still buff defenders by increasing siege vs siege damage, removing boon golems and multiple shield generator bubbles in same spot. Defender should be at least able to buy some time with siege so they can build some numbers.
But no one can deny that objective auras were killing whole WvW experience when for any sized group difference between any friendly and enemy objective was 30% damage worth of stats. When optimal gameplay is to wait for your enemies to be stupid, the game isn't very good.
" dueling scene died, because objective auras were just too strong"
This fits the tier of dumb, delusional and ARROGANT kitten I used to read on both Deso discord and team chat and I am surprised that YOU spat it out. Absolutely clueless, as any bag farming NPC is.

Reading the notes on the WvW changes is like reading someone's diary from an alternate reality. In the reality of whoever made these changes, one or two defenders can happily stop a zerg by themselves with a well-placed arrowcart (regular, not superior). In this reality, organised groups are facing a constant uphill struggle against the unwashed rabble, and objectives rarely flip if at all.
Of course, in our reality, defending was already next to impossible against any organised group. The only way to beat a boonball is with another, better boonball. Siege does nothing against the insane amount of barrier any boonball can bring, alongside the perma boons. Even if you manage to irritate a boonball with a mortar, your siege weapon will be swiftly destroyed and anyone on the wall with it. As for standing on the wall firing down at the attackers... you'll be melted or pulled before you can stick your head out.
So that was our reality before today, but ArenaNet, in their wisdom, decided to make it HARDER for defenders because... erm, anyone have an answer here? Did a group of boonball guilds write a letter petitioning the removal of any obstacles to their dominance? Did a dev (probably on Mag side) get killed while trying to take a keep? Or is this really a patch from an alternate reality to ours?
By the way, if you want to "encourage players to fight players" why not update the sPvP gamemode? I hear it could use some love...I wonder if their bosses are even aware that the job their employees are doing is pretty bad and contradicts reality.
In both MUs I was in, there was a big imbalance between the populations of the servers, and as a result, my server had to fight outnumbered every time against organized raids that were twice as big. There was a time we were simply camped at spawn for two days.
UPD Heard they hired a person from the community for balance recently. So far they appear pretty biased.-

Shadowsteps randomly refuse to work, namely S5 for rev and phase traversal.

But Mesmer got Rifle in the update, Dagger went with Virtuoso and the ambush subsequently added with weaponmaster training. I'm not sure what the point is here?
The issue is, it's been around EoD and nothing has been done about it, so they are probably okay with what it is. Since why "It's a mesmer".
Kinda forgot it was EoD and not SoTO, since it's such half-arsed expansion. My bad-

Because it’s designed as an elite spec weapon. They are all made to be better in every regard over core which which had a heavy condition or power split. This shouldn’t come as a surprise. It’s the reason balance is complete clusterkitten.
Last time I checked Reapers didn't like their swords (they still got harbringer), warriror's staff sucks and didn't fix anything and revenant's scepter is just pure kittening trash.
And then we got thief axe, mace ranger and mesmer permadaze stuff as if mesmers didn't have enough spammable and instant CC already. So definitely not all of them.-

I've never understood this one, I get that the daze is the issue here, but at first glance, why is it loaded with conditions on a weapon that otherwise has no condition based skills?
Because it is a mesmer.

Renegade is now the superior spec both Cele, condi, and power. It's not even close sadly.
Everything goes according to their plan. They want each class to be able to accomplish everything at the same time. It's just that they can't spread it the idea across all elite specs yet.
22 hours ago, SWLDguitar.5746 said:Mostly True. Vindi power is still strong.
Vindi overtime being relegated to support/healing, i'm ok with. Should have made it a support spec from the beginning.
I am having fun with Vindi after 7 years of boonbot snooze fest named herald, so no, screw you. Crawl back to Ventari and Herald ):<

hey now that hammer is a solid power weapon most people are happy with
which i'm actually really happy for hammer enjoyers tbhtime for shortbow to become a better condi wep
As long as it will lose some of it's power potential in the process I guess. It's kinda kitten the way it is now on Cele builds. (wvw perspective)
-
Well, it's actually useful for roaming and small scale now. All skills are, except for 2.

Graphics glitch?
Maybe the dog wasn't a dog anymore because the user canceled the transform and sometimes there is a delay on loading up the character model,especially if a mass of people waypointed within the visual range
Will give it another check later on a bigger screen,at the time of the post I saw it through phone.
Edit:There are people fighting below and west of the camp,and this seems like typical rubber banding problems.
Tends to happen more often near a spawn/waypoint when people massively waypoint In.
Is the guy legit? Most likely yeah.
I had occasions where ISP got a bottleneck somewhere and my character ended up zipping around and throwing skills in odd spots and seen graphic glitches on my character through another person screen.
But hey if he is pulling this consistently then just right click and report.
Man, you really are trying hard to twist out and justify it somehow not going to lie.
It's been happening for around an hour. A bunch of people spoke about him in team chat and it's not the first time I encountered him on that border. I booted up OBS just to record him as a matter of fact. He's also used https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Fiery_Leap on two downstated rangers before this.
It is absolutely baffling that you've completely ignored the fact that he simply dissappeared after his hp reached 0% too. -
I don't know, it honestly looks busted the way it is already.

Which skills? It's probably some trait proc-ing, which potentially sounds like a bug.
This doesn't seem normal. He's also literally erased two rangers in seconds a couple moments before this video, and it's the third time I sent this guy wherever he went to after dropping to 0% hp.

Is the secret ingredient
crimehacks?
Seriously, every week something new. People flying around, spawn WPs being contested and now WvW transformations abuse. Get your kitten together Anet.-

4. Roaming in a good place? meh, some specs get away with having too much of something or another.
Not while Cele is there. Some specs like Harbringer are overtuned

I had it enough with abusing stealth mechanics in other MMOs, so I chose it over thief many years ago, and I am not one of those who jumps on the bandwagon for a class or build that is currently busted, even though multiclassing in this game is easy. It is probably not a bad class for raids and PvE, but I find all of that so dreadfully boring nowadays and would be better off finding amusement somewhere else in real life, so I am lacking competence in regards to PvE.

What are you Power herald wvw roamers running?
in Revenant
Posted · Edited by Vasdamas Anklast.1607
Cele is an easy and fast way out, success with cele builds nothing but ego. I know plenty of power revenants that just wipe the floor with cele builds or at least turn it into a permanent stalemate. The difference between cele and power mains is that cele can do a ton of misplays and still have a significant chance of winning, while with power, one mistake may lead to failure.
It's an overbloated stats combination, and yet there are lots of cases where it simply fails to contribute. Besides, some classes will always have better hybrid builds than others, so eventually you'll hit the wall regardless. Sadly, it will probably stay on WvW forever, considering what kind of direction it has taken recently.
