Actually I agree, they removed all the unique buffs, may as well just bake alac and quickness into food/utility and take it away from players too. That way no one has any uniqueness at all and it doesn’t matter what you play or what comp you bring to fights. in fact why not remove all player based boon generation and just give people 12 hr duration boons when they enter any map or instance that way everyone is always on a level playing field.

Well the 10% bonus relies on having less than full endurance, so from a certain perspective you want endurance regeneration to be as slow as possible to match the 15% buff timer(15sec iirc). And with the change we are going to want to run at between 50-100 endurance most of the time to keep a dodge handy. So I can definitely see an argument for nuking all the endurance traits and putting in other options(dps/boon/heal).

It’s from BEFORE dx9 was depreciated… i’d like an update with a roadmap

I’ll have to try this asap.

BGFX is a low level rendring engine that supports DirectX up to 12, Open Gl, Metal, GLeS and Vulkan, it isn't going to keep ANET from the advanced features of Dx12, path(ray)tracing has been supported in BGFX via Dx12 for years. Dx11 and Dx12 are not that different. it's just a matter of putting in the effort. I for one would be more generous with gem purchases if they did.

Actually, it does...

dlss/fsr would provide a massive further improvement if you are gpu bound, like running very high frame rates or 4k or both.

I find it hard to believe that there's a huge cohort of gem buying players still using windows 7 but wtf do I know, and even if it were true is that really a good reason to hold everyone else back?

Again I’d like to hear from ANET on this, now that dx11 is in the bag.

I’d like to hear an update on this from ANET

The Dx11 update went so well, I wonder if someone at ANET might speak to the possibility of a Dx12 update now that Dx11 is the default and the steam release has happened? It would be super neato to get support for ray tracing and dlss type technologies through Dx12 in gw2!

Seems really cool, but I play rev and on 4k, however I’ll keep an eye on the progress. Thanks for doing this!

Well i am back from my ban for yelling at anet about the crit change, we got it back thankfully. I was going to comment constructively on this thread, but I forgot about Obtena.7952. I am done with these forums all together until they let us block specific users. I am also incidentally done with vindicator, can't use it in content progression when axe/axe sb and virtuoso exist, I'll get bullied out of the group otherwise. So good luck with your class and your forum. I just can't do it, it's too aggravating and sad and I can't keep it civil up in here anymore.

Would you then by that logic consider giving 5% to crit to rev’s retribution line, and other secondary lines that potentially loose out in power builds that don’t incorporate the sole crit trait on other classes?

nope
