Firebrand was designed with Axe, and literally has a trait that enchances Axe skills. Why are you so kitten anyway? Over somebody else giving their opinion, as if yours was the only correct one? Getting mad from the "dislikes" dropped on your post, and just lashing out at any random passing person who disagrees with you?

Except the zergs were conveniently standing over 9000 units away afking for 2+ mins as they "gather up" (exactly this "avoid the other zerg" mindset), while poor shmucks have to keep diving back into the ring knowing 100% they will probably die for nothing. And then the tag and slowpoke zerg start moving AFTER the ring is 2 ticks away from flipping, resulting in them getting trapped in the flipped objective and becoming bags too. Fighting aside, sometimes its easier to give up on X and fortify Y, if an enemy has a choke, instead of mindlessly trying to BAG into the ring.

At least it will stop idiot tags from saying "contest ring", as it's MUCH harder and a more obvious death sentence now. It used to be that people blindly did that and just fed more bags while doing nothing.

Becuz they are genuinely helpful, and even do things for people who are new and made stupid mistakes. I yeeted/salvaged my Fractal Capacitor thinking I didnt need it further for Ad Infi. After asking for help they just restored it anyway, even tho it was 100% my fault for not doing research. Being new to the game without experience/gear to farm CMs made it very long to re-acquire 1350 Relics, which they basically made a non-issue for me when I was first starting out, and that help made the process MUCH easier. Again, they didn't have to do anything, its 100% my fault, but they helped anyway. The CS department is just goated. And theres nothing wrong with showing some public appreciation.

It is base content, becuz the thing I spent time grinding were the achieves, which is essentially CM. The stuff you listed in your original post just really showed how little idea you have of how to do it even with supposedly hours of gameplay, like perhaps Quickness boon making the fire channeling faster, ranged wep to 1shot the shadows trying to dowse your fires while you stood in the fire, and that Blue circle thing Braham shouts and throws at you actually gives you Stability? You were the one having problems, yet have the balls to come back months later to ego everyone. If you spent less time blaming everyone but yourself for failing, maybe you would have succeeded without any help long ago.

Yes and No, the latter can be balanced.

If you didn't cast Cttb within 240 range you only get 2 seconds of Stuns=200 Break Bar. It needs to be melee for the full 5 seconds.

He was in Stonefall week 1 of the most recent WR beta, ye. The entire team chat was just bitching at him about balance tho, like a bunch of needy children rofl.

The current Tomes are fine, the Mantras are too similar to Mesmer tho.

Yup, 100% agree, best to wait and see first.

It literally recharges itself fully if you hit something below 50%, so...

Slow is an actual Condition in the game, that makes your actions slower. It is procced by Weighty Terms traited Mantras.

They only nerfed CM HP, which they shouldn't have, not NM. Is this reading issue a classic "EU player has too much ego" problem?

Autoloot often doesn't work for me either, while Im downed. Being full dead doesn't seem to trigger the bug for me though. Regardless, should be fixed ye.

It doesn't, you can even port to pets/summons/racials. A while ago (less than 1 year), I used Norn Racial Wurm + MI to do the 1st skip in Not-So-Secret Jumping Puzzle, to completely skip the interior of the ship, and combat, and the skill has behaved the same in sPvP lobby.

Honestly ye, Grapple feels like a misplay issue, it rarely happens. People like to complain about the NM JP being wonky, but its very easy for a person new to the Fractal to never use skill 3, and I still see ppl fail at 1. Getting off the zipline early for better control. 2. Actually use the Parachute like a Glider for Horizontal movement. Also, if a pug healer gets Tether on 66% NM, thats the dps players being dumb, relying on ppl they cant trust to do dps on healer gear, instead of just body blocking the Tether like on Sunqua. That being said...the adds do behave wonky, and the only reason we ignore them right now, is because the improper design allows us to. If the devs changed how failing cc punishes the fight, the bugs that do exist wud be a lot more problematic, and they mostly Aspects/Adds related.

CO CM doesn't even HAVE KP on its own... Do you know how regularly CO CM runs have at least 1 person who dies on 1st Green Arrow, becuz they've never even done/learned NM? People STILL think the SF Team Change is saved by downing the person, instead of just hard-ccing them. Boon role peeps who clearly don't know they are supposed to go pickup SAK, just coming in and lying about how they've done CM before, because all the tryhards keep downplaying how bad CO CM (your quote: "easy content btw") is in pugs, so the average peep thinks NM=CM. How about some really cursed people, Like 2k Toughness Death Magic Reaper? Or some 40k+ AP guys who keeps talking about their throbbing ginormous benchmark, bragging about HTCM title, threatens the squad with "if healers dont pickup SAK Im leaving", then proceed to die REPEATEDLY on 1st Arrow on different pulls, because their nose is too far up their kitten and they just greed dps without thinking? I would like to know why other people shudn't ask for KPs? The method of "go in and replace trolls/noobs until good enough" is going to quickly erode any patience members of the group have, and dps meters wont fix it, because you still have to pull to measure that, when the goal of KP is literally to prevent the need of "yolo first adjust later".

This is great news. Even though I made the full 7, the fact that even 1x Leggy Rune can get people the Leggy Relic is great. The future unlock thing doesn't really bother me, just looks like the sPvP Amulet system now, you unlock it, you get to use it forever, same slot, all thats needed is a little extra work. Also...Reward Tracks can bypass PvE Achievements.

Yes it is, even on CM when you absolutely want to save Group Aegis for Mind Crush. Thats why HB is sought after on Deimos, its probably the easiest "Aegis on demand" build out there, while Chrono takes a lot more skill, so the meta just bleeds the requirement from CM to NM and play them the same way, hence why OP may have ran into issues of groups wanting HB instead of anything else, even tho in NM it shudnt really be as big of an issue. But ye, NM, Group Aegis shudnt be an issue unless the group is running an oil kite, which typically shud be HKs job while peeps down there fighting Saul anyway.

Not make as much cry posts, thats for sure. "But people know when something feels off" Youd be surprised how little people care about Sorrows these days, people dont even react to Sorrows negatively much anymore, they just go sweaty. "At least I don't name people" Here you are trying to insinuate that everyone here who disagrees with you suck, yet we don't struggle with Convergences, you do. You are the one crying about YOUR failures, not us. And I never specified which pug players were bad, I never name dropped them, if you feel personally attacked when we tell you to try harder, thats just your bruised ego. And lastly, I don't care what build you run, as long as you are efficient with it. Do you even understand why theres talk of builds? Because we have nothing except your word that you aren't one of the liabilities dragging your instance down. Reminder, if somebody fails at something a lot, theres usually something they can improve, even if they arent responsible for the situation, or are you telling me a good HealScourge cant carry a bunch of crappy dps on Boneskinner? Your angry post here with numbers and details is the only tangible thing we can see about what you have been doing in Convergences.

If you didn't fail as much as we think you do, why you keep making cry posts about Public Convergences failing? I can claim with a straight face, because as dicey as some Sorrows get, Ive never failed one, literally ever. And Ive never done a Private Convergence, because the LFGs from the comms usually ick me out. If I had friends, I wouldn't be wasting my time reading posts like yours that give brain rot. Here you are again with another "btw I almost failed again today", if you are RNGing thru Public lobbies, that means you are fully dependent on other peoples' performance to carry you, instead of being a useful asset when a group succeeds. If you had ANY confidence, you would be saying stuff like "I dumped all of my Chrono CC on the boss and did over 2200, yet these pugs do 0", you've given no numbers, no quantifications, only whining about how good you are but displaying behavior identical to garbage pugs. "Not a pleasant experience when something almost fails", that's a "I want everything done while Im afk" mindset, the same thing the garbage pugs have. If you achieved something that you think of as extremely difficult, you should be feeling proud, but you don't, because deep down you know you didn't contribute to the success of it.

Unfortunately, the mass majority of pugs also think they do "just fine", and that they "bring enuf", if you don't give us a rough idea of what you normally bring, we have to assume you can do better if you tried harder. Despite different opinions that may be stated, my personal opinion is that one shud bring minimum of 1200 Break bar dmg. Some not-often thought about mechanic is how the Kryptis Essences reduce max HP, which means any flat healing can be doubly effective on a person with 50 stacks. Kryptis Essence also increases Boon Duration, making Boon Dps extremely effective at boosting at least 4 other people. If you are still absolutely sure you've done literally every method under the sun to increase the performance of yourself and everyone around you, but still cannot find success, then its time to start thinking about external methods, like Convergence after 0-4 hrs of reset, or biting the bullet and start a Private Instance at the equivalent cost of 5g, get a Commander Tag if you haven't already.

At some point, you need to stop pointing fingers at pugs and start thinking about how to improve your own runs, because the only common element in YOUR runs, is you. You can't control pugs, and most of them will never listen. If you consistently fail, Maybe you are the one doing no dmg, maybe you didn't bring enuf CC, or the CC didnt land on Sorrow from the pushback because your positioning was bad. Maybe you aren't helping enough to rally the instance, call out "heal Zojja", call out islands that need more hands to attract the few ppl reading map chat (pugs who pay attention tend to also bring more dps). Maybe you run full glass and stack Essences to do dmg, then get downed becuz you didn't dodge/bring survival tools, perhaps even full dead, therefore wasting all the Essence carried, none of which went into doing dmg or healing Zojja. (This is what most pugs do) Or maybe, you are whining in map chat at people, which causes even more ppl to afk/literally leave from your doomposting. You can choose to call people who rarely fail at Sorrow liars, whine in forums, and solve none of your immediate issues. Or you can try to improve your runs by figuring ways out to do it better, at least to the point where it stops "failing every time".

The funny thing is, non-SoTO T3s can sometimes not count for that task, at least the 5 I did this week for Straits of Devastation didnt, yet last weeks was fine. Also, flavor of preferred popcorn, anyone?
