TLDR, how is alac specter after this patch?
Kantharr.2308 replied to GetFoxxed.9478's topic in Thief
I found it. It's called Amplified Siphoning. I guess the trait under it Traversing Dusk is only useful for heal alac while Amplified Siphoning is useful for Alac DPS. I will try that later today, thanks! -

Kantharr.2308 replied to GetFoxxed.9478's topic in Thief
I must have been playing my Alac Specter wrong then but how do you handle fights where you don't start with shadow force? It feels bad to me to not be able to give alac at the start of those fights. -
Has emboldened been successful?
Kantharr.2308 replied to Einsof.1457's topic in Instanced Group Content
I could if work and life priorities didn't take up the majority of my time. I barely have enough time to get on to lead once a week. -

Kantharr.2308 replied to Einsof.1457's topic in Instanced Group Content
From my experiences of leading training and Semi-Exp runs with Emboldened raids specifically it has been successful. The players were able to focus on the important parts of the raids which was the mechanics, get some practices in while still feeling like they are improving (even if the emboldened stacks is helping increase their dps/healing), and they have been more eager in jumping into other raids. The one thing that I think the system can improve on is allowing players to select specific bosses that they want to fight for practice. There has been times when I post in LFG looking to buy instances and it would sometimes take a long while to get one which cuts into the time of leading these runs. -
Strikes don't replace raids. We need Wing 8
Kantharr.2308 replied to Einsof.1457's topic in Instanced Group Content
I always thought Strikes was a stepping stone to raids where the Non-CMs are easier than raids but they would help the group understand the importance of proper squad comps and mechanics that you would see in raids. But yes I do want to see them add a Wing 8. Maybe the estate in the south part of Cantha would be a good candidate or go back to The Deep/Urgoz's Warren. From GW1. -
It's about time we get a LFG Queuing system
Kantharr.2308 replied to Mell.4873's topic in Instanced Group Content
I do think having a queue system for LFG would be nice, but having one where you're queueing for a dps quick/dps alac/heal quick/heal alac/specific roles sounds a bit complicating. One queue system that I thought of would be to let a player queue for a raid wing/specific raid boss/specific strike boss/specific fractal etc that they want to do. Then when someone puts up a LFG for what you're looking for a window would appear saying that a LFG is available and you can read their description to see whether you want to join because you meet their requirement, or ignore it, or keep queueing until the description changes or another LFG post appears. This way they don't have to add extra options to both the LFG and queue system for each of the unique builds and unique roles, even though that worked out for FFXIV and it probably wouldn't be that bad to be honest. -
Hey, I'm currently looking to join a static that is learning HTCM and working towards getting the Voidwalker title. I have defeated Kralk on a pdps Mech but I'm also comfortable on these builds: DPS Specter Alac Specter pAlac Mech DPS Quick Herald I'm only available on both Wednesday and Thursday from Reset-2 to Reset+3 Thanks, Kantharr.2308

It depends on different parameters like type of instanced content (raids, strikes, fractals), whether you're doing CM or non CM, what mechanics you're going to deal with, etc. Here's a couple of good rule of thumbs that I follow for the majority of content: 1. DPS for non healers should be at least 10K for non CM content (since CM content have higher skill checks). 2. Regular DPS players should be doing higher DPS than the DPS Support players (since DPS supports are sacrificing some of their dmg for boon durations, though this is different for some specific builds) What's more important than DPS though is knowing the mechanics and not failing those because failing mechanics or dying because of mechanics means lower DPS.

WvW World Restructuring Beta 1 Veteran Achievement Issue
Kantharr.2308 replied to Rubi Bayer.8493's topic in World vs. World
Hey, is it still possible to get the veteran achievement finished? -
Aquatic fractal needs to go.
Kantharr.2308 replied to Einsof.1457's topic in Instanced Group Content
I bet/hope this is what the company is going to try to do in the future. Underwater combat does need a good amount of rework since some classes/specs are useless underwater (ex. Mechanist) while others work okay/decent (ex. Virtuoso & Deadeye). -
ANet, Time to Segregate.
Kantharr.2308 replied to Malus.2184's topic in WvW World Restructuring Beta Feedback
What they could do (which is not 100% foolproof) is have an auto translate feature so anyone not speaking your language would automatically translate to your language when you see it. Other than that yes, please segregate the Alliances by language.
