Obtena.7952 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I like it to BUT ... there is something a little off-putting visually about the dodge. It's a bit cartoon-y. When do I get to drop the anvil on my opponents or give them a dynamite cigar? 1 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arklite.4013 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Glad to see a thread like this - I've been feeling the same way. Vindicator has felt really, really fun and I'm glad it's here. I'll be happier once my alliance stops swapping every time I mount, etc. but overall it's just been enjoyable to play. I love it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's the best part of the spec. 10 hours ago, Arklite.4013 said: Glad to see a thread like this - I've been feeling the same way.

Yeah, I noticed that. I don't remember seeing that happen in the last beta, so hopefully it'll be fixed soon. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulkas.2576 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I also love Vindicator. I am having a ton of fun doing story, wvwing and pvping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vasdamas Anklast.1607 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 What I don't like is that most revs in spvp just kite around, press sword 3 and then GS 5 with 100% crit on swap sigil and somehow instagib you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thon.3780 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 It is good . for me Only annoy feeling is dodge animation. I see it jump and hope to use it to go higher terrain , but it is just animation. if ANET do underground diving and pop up , or make disappear by travel through the rift and then re appears, then I still feel more realistic.

Bish.8627 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 For open world I think its potentially one of the most fun builds I have had since vanilla. Mobility, spike damage, the dodge on occasion doing silly numbers. But also the single dodge has made me rethink how I play, having always been on 2 dodges and it being so useful for damage. All in all for me its a good balance of keeping me active and involved but not playing keyboard like others. Note: Open world only 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm able to get 100% crit rate with fury, which is always available when needed. Running GS/GS with double energy runes is tons of fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farohna.6247 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I'm enjoying it for open world. Only complaint is I haven't mastered healing myself with it well, going from a celestial ren build to vindicator makes me feel much more vulnerable to damage 😳 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duglaive.5236 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Vindicator was easily my favorite EoD elite of the betas. And now? I took my newly specced and geared vindi through the story, and haven't touched it since. I mean, the playthrough went well, no surprises in how it felt to play, no real negatives. I dunno, it's like the bottom fell out of the interest barrel for me. Hoping the mojo for this comes back as I think it's a great spec, and I came up with a look for the character I really dig. Sort of bummed at this point 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I saw the animation, I expected we would phase-out of reality with a visual distortion similar to invisibility and when we phase back in it causes the explosion. It would have been less silly than jumping to the stratosphere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raftalos.5971 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 One of my favourite classes right now, however i do wish it did more dps for how selfish you have to spec to get like 20-25k dps, on renegade you have more dmg and better utility overall 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, until you get it down to your liking, you can go 3 in the final trait for a heal and barrier on the jump. Don't use your blue elite solo either. The CDs are short for everything, really. My only real advice is keep up fury in combat, and regen on D. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morsdood.1987 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 Other classes can do the same or better as Vindicator while still having 2 dodges and extra utility Eager for a rework 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angesombre.4630 Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 I would be harsh in talking about a redesign, but some adjustments would be welcome. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers overall are terrible for having no actual dodge and dodge being a really busted mechanic. Either a lot more damage or more damage and some boons (no idea where to stick them though). But no dodge spec should easily be above any (especially ranged) spec with dodges and additional survivability tools baked in and currently it's not - dare I say for that drawback and no utility whatsoever 45-47k at the golem wouldn't be outrageous? Rework also seems unlikely since the death from above animation seems a favorite overall. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thon.3780 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 With retribution trait and burst , endurance filling time is ok that I don’t feel much annoyed and lucky that gs has block skill , it can fill gap quite well when we need dodge unless we face unblockable skill.
