Legendary Fractal Armor, provided it gets introduced with a nice fractal themed skin, would be the one thing making me play them again.Imo there is no real reason against introducing more ways to obtain legendary armor.Easy stat and rune change makes testing stuff way easier.

Its BiS if you wanna be as tanky as possible. You only need 1101 toughness for Dhuum, since your renegade get 100 with the Mallyx Elite. Technically you also dont need more since the tank gets some damage reduction from the encounter anyway and if played correctly you can block/evade every attack anyway. Buuuuuuuut... If you want to go safer, which is something you should probably do if you arent that exp on the class or your group just sucks in general, swap berserker for Knights while keeping your BD. Knights (Power/Prec/Toughness, main stat toughness) is more optimal.

Why do you complain about minstrel chronos when you dont play optimally yourself? As soon as pugs play with 1 Druid only and without a second healer i gladly regear my alt chrono to be able to tank with 1251 max. Otherwise i cant be bother to do this on my second account.

Can confirm. Cant be arsed to give this alt Diviner stats just for pugs.

I swear to god, some players are actively trying to die. I had a Soulbeast on Sloth yesterday that would always stand on the poison floor. People can't be that oblivious of their environment, right? They legit try to die.

Im not talking about more maos though. I would be happy with less if they get proper replayability.I mean in general, that a few hours of content every few months isnt going to cut it.All the time they spent on the new Living Story is pretty much wasted time since after a few weeks most people will never play it again.

No offense taken, dont worry. Idk. I dont play that much anymore. Most of the time i only log in for raids with my static and even im done with the new map. I´ve probably spend 10 hours on the new map including the story. Im pretty sure that there are people not done with the achievements yet, but i assume that the majority of the people actually playing the content, is.

Yeah, Ill believe it when i see it.I still remember 6 wings per year. Btw. is there a way to change what i voted for? Yes, sadly there is no way to be sure it is in fact gonna happen. But there is a higher chance it is gonna happen if the teams are not seperate like before.Nah, having the teams not separated just makes it easier to use the formerly "raid devs" for other stuff instead of raids. It is also a clear sign that raids are no longer important enough to have their own dedicated team. It's probably good for fractals, though. We do see more of fractal stuff lately. I understand your position but really I will just never be able to agree with you. Honestly it is just not raids that had problems: it is the basic concept that they always had issues, since the beginning, to develop instanced group content (let’s remember the dungeon team and the lack of instanced content in open world ever since after core game content). I don’t think it is a lack of importance, but rather a lack of resources; obviously they identified that, spreading their resources too thin between two teams working on a really slow pace to deliver content every 10 months, is not the best way to support the release of instanced group content.Its not only instanced content. Right now anet doesnt support a single game mode properly. Not even open world.One new map every 3 or 4 months isnt enough to cut it. After 1 or 2 weeks you are done with the achievements and will probably never go back to the new map again. Why would you? After you have done youre achievements theres nothing to do for you anyway.

I dont really expected them to release 6 Wings a year anyway.Then again, i also expected more than 1 every 9 months or so.

Yeah, Ill believe it when i see it.I still remember 6 wings per year. Btw. is there a way to change what i voted for?

Yeah, or that. Both arent great option though. I also remember Condi Warrior or gtfo on gorse.

There are people joining Dungeon LFG that say "Level 80 EXP" while being level 50 with 100AP.Most of the time the party doesnt even care. The last time i saw someone getting kicked for low DPS in raids was an ele doing 7k on gorseval. What do you think would have happend without a DPS Meter? Do you think the ele would have been kicked? No, of course not. Ele big deeps. The commander would have kicked the scourge that was doing okay while letting the person thats handycapping 9 other people stay and leech the boss.

No one in here said that no one uses stat infusions. People said that they arent important, which they are correct with.

So basically the collection stuff like reading books? Best comp will change depending on the balance. That would be way too much effort to keep up to date. Mobs are part of the encounter though. You might get away with "No Evolved Slublings" or no double mage spawn on Xera. Dont really care for the loot, no LI and no collection items should be a no brainer. ? We have that on some encounters. Sabetha with her "Burn, Burn" before using the flamewall, Matthias tells you when someone gets sacrificed and the Reapers on Dhuum literally call out every mechanic. Why should that matter? You dont have to leave the instance to repair broken armor. Eh, i guess? I´d rather to the easy modes with a static and be done with them quickly, depending on the loot.I am part of a group that trains people, but i cant imagine doing this every single day.

Do you mean the shockwave? The shockwave is decently telegraphed though.

Wildstar had a lot of serious problems.The problem with Hardcore only Content is, that you can only play it with your group.Wildstar didnt have a lot of content you could do with pugs. Or a lot of content you wanted to do AT ALL. The loot in this game sucked. Dailys were worthless, crafted gear was better than dungeon and raid gear, meaning that purely ran dungeons to be allowed to raid. GW2 doesnt have this problem. You got a lot of other stuff to do + you can pug current raids. You arent forced to wait for you group to actually progress.

You dont have to.Most players wont even notice that you run exotics. Especially if you run a budget chrono with giver stats or something.The armor isnt the most important and ascended trinkets are really easy to get. Almost all the current meta builds work on every boss.People rarely specify what DPS class they are looking for in lfg. No one is forcing you to play another build.The only exception is Condi on KC.You can take your power Deadeye/Weaver/Dragonhunter whatsoever on every single boss and you will probably be fine.

You can literally use Axe 4 + 5 on Power Soulbeast and laugh at their face up until Liadri.

Planning to do it today on Soulbeast. I think its possible to dodge his attacks with a combination of Greatsword Attacks and Stone Signet. If you do, can you also post a video? im gonna try a pure defensive build sometime this week, but hes frustrating as hell on ranger from what ive experienced.Yeah, i can post it if you want. Didnt manage to do it today cause something came in the way.

Beat him on my 5th try, this Video is from my 6th try. Can be way smoother and i guess its easier on a Power Daredevil. Planning to do it today on Soulbeast. I think its possible to dodge his attacks with a combination of Greatsword Attacks and Stone Signet.

I doubt that. I killed the dredge suit in T4 with one bucket before thanks to two amazing weavers. Maybe the ice elemental is another story but power classes make use of the full 30 seconds the debuff provides while condi classes still have to ramp up. Yeah, its just the only Fractal where i could imagine it. I remember qT did a Speedclear video of it where they did use condi classes. I just dont know how long ago this was or if it even is the record.

Great deduction there, but we are specifically talking about Raids and the impact it has on the Fractal meta, which is Chrono, Druid, Warrior and two DPS. you want to take 5 Necros on your runs, you go for it! I'd much rather not. No, we were specifically discussing 5 scourges in fractals concerning mobs, duo bosses and boss with adds like molten boss or ice elemental, ect. ect.Yet they can't really compete with Night Sigilis, Slaying Potions, Slaying Sigils and Impact Sigils. Power Classes get so many modifiers condi classes simply can't use.You also have to account for Phases where your conditions won't do anything and you have to stack them up again. The only fractal where I can see condi as a better option than power is Underground Facility. Now most pugs won't play with the above mentioned sigils and depending on how good the group is condi may or may not be the better option. That's the thing. You have to adapt. If you are in a really bad pug group you either leave or swap to Necro and trivialize every piece of content anet could throw at you.
