i've been suggesting this for years! i'd call the elite spec "Acolyte" and we basically focus on an element and choose to be an Acolyte of Fire/Earth/Water or Lightning. this would disable the stance-dancing of current ele and focus everything on that one element. i'd make staff the weapon of the elite spec and dial up the power of the skills (since you only have 5 instead of 20!) being an Acolyte of Fire would see you focused on large area damage, becoming the quintessential RPG fire mage! an Acolyte of Lightning would get massive single target damage, (skill 1 would be replaced with a super-buffed version of scepter 1.) Acolytes of Water would be capable of main healing for a raid through very potent water healing spells. and an Acolyte of Earth would be able to tank with the best of them! the only thing that would be tricky is the trait tree because typical trait trees have 3 choices, obviously with 4 elements we'd need 4 choices. perhaps we could get REALLY crazy and make the elite specs all have their own tree? basically 4 elite specs. 😄 like the Acolyte of Fire elite spec would give you options for condi (spreading blazing fires around) power damage (enhancing the direct damage of the massive metoers you'll be hurling around) and maybe a 3rd hybrid that would enhance both condi and power to a lesser extent, maybe this 3rd option would also be where you would get a bit of survival.

i wish they'd split it up and let us choose what to enable, why are green outlines lumped in with nice graphics? also on that subject can we finally get an option to turn off target circles and an option to disable things you look at being made lighter?

yep! i mostly play ladies, but i'm glad they're giving the sexy to everyone 😄 if they keep making them, i'll keep buying them! 😉(and yup i did love the 15k druid armour!)

Hey gang! i've not played in a good while and i was delighted to see the two "new" gemstore sets Savage Scale and Leather Straps! For a long while it had seemed like we were heading the way of long coats and full plate, which i personally found to be a shame having seen some of the wonderfully sexy armour sets that the game released with (female human cultural armour will always hold a special place in my heart!) so i was very glad to see some sexy sets being added once again! they were both an instant purchase from me, so this post is very simply a big thank you to Anet for bringing sexy back! 😁

so apparently this bug has been around for TWO YEARS. [ 1 | 2 | 3 ] how has this not been fixed yet? kinda a big deal if people buy the expansion and then crash before they can even get to Cantha... i remember playing EoD back then and i didn't crash, but clearly some people were crashing, and i've just tried to get to cantha on a new character, and now its happening to me. i've done the annoying airship jumping mission three times now and always crash after the cutscene on the beach.

thanks guys! i'd totally missed those two on the wiki! shame they changed the Kryptis tonic from Cerus, a Cerus tonic would have been pretty kitten cool!

hey gang, i'm a bit of a tonic junky, i love to play around with them in "very light" RP situations, its really fun being able to transform into different things! so i'm wondering if anyone knows of any new tonics to play with? i've checked the wiki and can't see anything new on the tonics page, but i'm hoping this is just because it hasn't been updated! thanks!

i find GW2 has quite a good community, if you tell people you are new they will usually cut you some slack.

i'm starting to think they aren't actually after advice and just wanted to complain, i totally agree with you about reshade, my game looks absolutely beautiful! and thanks to the DX upgrade it also runs a lot better, in short i think the game has improved overall.

just a hint but have you tried Reshade? 😁 if not you should! its very easy to set up and makes the game look really nice! 😉

aye! I had a golemancer who i loved playing, she was asuran (obviously!) with the golemancy runes and golem elite, last expansion getting mechanist was really cool for her! since jade bot is kinda like an extra golem. this expansion pretty much destroyed the character since ti stole her main golem away.

how about LAST YEAR when they made the decision to separate the 6 piece bonuses from gear. you make it sound like i'm asking for the world, i'm simply asking not to lose content in an expansion.

C'mon Anet, give us back our builds that you broke in the expansion! before the expansion i was playing a tanky warrior build using Rune of Aristocracy and mace for weakness spam (the 6th bonus made applying weakness give you 5 might stacks) i also threw in skale venom for even more weakness, basically i was spamming weakness which was in turn spamming might and healing (thanks to warrior traits that heal on might application), the sustain was awesome! i logged in for the first time since the expansion today and it only took a few mobs before i realized that something was wrong, my weakness=might had been STOLEN. so now i'm disappointing, and looking for a different build... my golemancer would also like her golem back! (from rune of golemancy) reminder, EXPANSIONS should not REMOVE CONTENT.

aye, staff received nerf after nerf in the early days and we've seen a lot of power creep over the years leaving staff ele feeling weak. my glassiest staff ele build with like 8k hp can't do anywhere near as much damage as my other glass chars, literally ANY other class i can put out more ranged DPS than my staff ele, even the ones with far more HP like guard and rev. and imho staff ele should be the epitome of glass cannon, the quintessential mage! so its just sad to see them falling behind.

personally i didn't even want a new weapon, i want a new specialization, The Acolyte. Acolyte would revisit Staff and basically turn ele into a more typical fantasy mage, you'd give up the in-combat stance-dancing of GW2 ele to focus on one element, but you would be much more efficient with that element than standard ele. for example Acolyte of Fire would let you focus on becoming the ultimate fiery damage dealer, Acolyte of Water would focus on healing, boons and cleansing etc

personally i want more fun endless tonics, open world content, dungeons like the classic ones we had at release, more armour sets (i like skimpy armours but variety is good, so give us a mix!) preferably available in game as either drops, rewards or just sold by a vendor.

greatswords in general always seem to be the highlight of most sets, i don't know if its different teams that make different weapons (that would be weird XD) but yeah, greatswords are usually the best looking weapons!

i chose less fun, but in truth thats because i haven't played. my character is an Asuran Golemancer, its a lore-based build i find fun, and since this expansion stole my Golem away i haven't bothered playing.

plot twist, she was Mordremoth in disguise!

my "main" is an asuran golemancer, even before mechanist came along i themed her around golems. i won't be buying the expansion until my golemancer gets her golem back.

wait, Golem is gone?! i haven't played in a few months (i usually pop in, complete the new world story content and vanish) i literally have an asuran golemancer who i play all around Golems, and you're telling me in an EXPANSION they've taken my content away?! wow anet...just wow.

HoT imho, i loved that it was more challenging than the vanilla game, my only criticism was the verticality of it often became annoying, with things being gated behind masteries.

check the video someone posted above of the old effects. we lost these effects because of people playing on potato PCs. and yes my "meme build" (is it meme to have a decent PC? O_o) played the game just fine, we all didn't need to suffer a graphical downgrade for the potato people.

i do miss the big fireballs! its mad that these changes weren't made optional. if we have ultra PCs we shouldn't have to suffer visual downgrades to drag along the people trying to game on 2010 PCs.

hard to choose both were so very exciting!
