Yes. HOT and all expansions afterwards are much complex than core Tyria--requiring you progress with materies and skills. You'll adjust just fine in time!

Either or...I play em both with a high perference on condi. Power is just more clunkly than condi, and the power dps is no better, for a harder rotation.

I went to downtown Seattle last week for a community get together with Anet developers and fans. Except for 1 attract female Asian dev--the rest was full of soy-boys and Trans people. So, if your wondering why the pronouns suddenly come, gotta look at the people designing the game and it's fans. On a plus note--I got a GW 1 pin and food

prob the most fun I've had playing a toon in many years of this game. Been here since near the beginning and I've played nearly every class & spec. Have done everything in this game, to the point of being bored (nothing to do). So I decided last week to craft HOPE, and test out this Metabattle build for duel P/P Open World farm spec--and man, its just a fun spec to play. I'm actually going through all maps just killing mobs, for no reason--just to chain kill trash with the 'pew pew' sound. Sadly, tests on the training golem proved that this cannot be used in fractals/raids/champs etc---which is a kitten shame.

No idea..but I can say that wait times for items/mounts to be reintroduced seem to come on 3 thru 6 month cycles. Took me forever to finally get the unicorn finisher. Good luck

I use a macro mouse (logitech) and load my character profiles

I hear ya. Ive made all the variants to date, and blast them out in the 1st couple of days of a new release--because of these issues with some old content and lack of participation. Zhaitan and Jormag footfalls look the best--with Zhaitan (imo) having the coolest/longest lasting effects. Mordremoth is by far the worst.

I bought for $4.00 on Steam, 'Yolo mouse cursor.' Can change the pointer icon, color, etc. It never disappears in combat.

The long lasting footfalls and death kill animations make up for their ugliness. I've made 2 so far

Its to get you to log in. Logging in will most likely get you to purchase 'something,' however, trivial that may be. I've worked in a few casinos over the years (marketing and back end systems). And for those of you that have never been to a casino, I'll tell you, they give out 'free' money or 'food vouchers' or 'points' just for signing up for a players card (anywere from $5 - $20). They do this to get 'people in the door.' That little bit of money is nothing to a casino. If people come to ONLY use the free money/food they give you, you are in a very small minority. Most people will not drive out of their way and not spend some of their own money--either on gambling/drinking/eating/concerts/etc. They know this.

Skin boring. But got it for the AWESOME footfalls and death animation. Fits my necro, perfectly

The new Aurene legendary weapons come with a random chance (from my experience about 10%) of a 'death animation.' Very nice looking btw, especially, the Zhaitan one. Would equiping a second Aurene offhand weapon, increase the chance of the death animation? When the announcment of the Gen3 legendaries came out, and I saw their skins--I was very unimpressed. However, and see the footfalls & death animations--I had to make one--but I would make another if it would increase the chance.

I find that alot of the elites either are fun, or boring. I love my mirage...its a fun fun class. However, while I do play Virtuoso--I find it rather boring in comparison. I havent played my necro much, since scourge. I found scourge boring and slow. However, fast forward today--and Qharb is so fun for me--its slowly getting more play time than my Mesmer. Even if the dps is lower (due to gear & spec), that fact my attacks are fast in shroud--keeps me enjoying it.

LOTS of duo, classes completment each other--to many to name. Guardian, will ALWAYS have a place in small/large content. They can fill any role--and do it well (heal, dps, support). You could both play guards.

After many years of pvp, I quit last season, due to the disgustingly, rampant amount of bots. I logged in the other day--to test Virtuoso out, to confim/deny its grievous reports. Yep, not stepping foot back in their.

As a mesmer main (with my 2 alts being HB and Necro), i find the pros and cons with each. Thematically, Mesmer skills are beautiful. The sound of crashing glass, with their skills cant be beat. When it comes to group viability--it depends on the environment. Spvp = Chrono is meh, Mirage is meh, and Virtuoso is garbage. Necro has much better solo/group support. Open world PvE, any of the lines will work--some to a greater degree. My mirage with prenerf Torment runes was the best solo class Ive played--too bad that is gone. Necro even more options. End game PvE (Fractals/Strikes/Raids) You'll get more viability from Necro; if you can play to each classes greatest potential for their repsective trail roles. Raids and CM Strikes, were commanders watch DPS & boon meters will call out ppl that are not up to the standard potential of the roles, of the class you choose to play. I've not seen a commnader in any raid/CM Strike or speed clear fractal in the last 6+ months ask for a Chrono. I've only seen a condi mirage being asked a handful of times for the few raid wing bosses where confusion dps is king. I've NEVER seen a group, specifically ask for a Virtuoso (power/condi) when looking for a dps class. And as someone that mains Virtuoso now, there is nothing a Virtuoso can do, that another dps cant. Condi Willbenders, Harbringers, Specters, etc are equal/better. If it wasent for the theme/looks/sound animations of my mesmer, I'd stick with my necro--both are easy to play.

Dark Age of Camelot

I wanted to like it--I tried to like it. As a mesmer main, which is fully legendary geared out (thus playing entirely diffent build thru all EOD maps)--I played thru every possible build I could think of, (as well as recommendations from others testing)--as well as beta testing, prior--but I just cannot get behind this clunky class (not to mention skill bugs you can read about in other forum posts). Even if the numerous bugs were fixed--I still will not be playing it. There needs to have the LOS issues (and snap to target) with dagger skills and F skills fixed before I'd consider playing this again. Not only is the gameplay clunky--the dps is subpar to other classes. Not to mention the lack of utility. The only thing this elite has going for it, is the 'pretty' graphics. If you like it, more power to you--its back to mirage and my clones for me

Its all subjective: My main 2 classes are Guaridan & Mesmer. I play them daily in all pvp/pve aspects of the game. Guard, imo is the most well rounded and wanted class out there. It does power dps, condi dps, heals, quickness and aegis--however you want to spec--it seems to be Anets top favorite class when it comes to significant nerf bats, that other classes may get. Some classes get niche builds only (open world PvE does not count as any build can tackle that content), but the Guard would be a class I would recommend for legendary gear (its what I did). I love my mirage for the theme and clones--and play it on 'my time' for fun.

As a mesmer main (with my FB being a STRONG) second--this fully and completly sums up the mesmer in all areas of game play, near perfectly.

As I play cdps Mirage, I cannot explain the difference--but what I can say from doing Daily T4 CM Fractals (as HB main)--Revenant (as stated by the players playing them) is much easier to maintain ALAC as Rev.

Looking at the wiki..since they changed slumbering ring..do you still need to have 20 Tournement wins prequesite to make Transendence?

In short, I play daily (havent paid much attention at all to news/anouncments), for just Fractals/Strike Missions--been waiting for EOD. I see a snipette of info about doing old LS achievments for an EOD precursor and a Leg amulet?? Is this correct. Question..is there a quick reference guide to do such achievements...dulfy or youtube? Can these be soloed without wanted to go insane? --I say this in regards to some of the LS crafting items in years past that were a hellof a grind. How long ago did these start?

It is possiblewhat you need ae 1-3 sturdy players north just tanking and killing slowly ( focus is on grabbing attention of the 2 spawning enemy groups so they dont go for npcs) then 2 south to kill the 2 monsters per wave there until event bar fills up. indeed. Thats how I did it. I was the HB, so I took 1 other party member North. The other 3 (with no healer), all heavy DPS, took the South.
