Disadvantageous spot in Temple of Silent Storm

[Wilwynd.5798]

Just finished a match in Temple of the Silent Storm map, and an obnoxious Scrapper Engineer was perched up on a brazier next to Gate. They were out of reach from all of the melee ranged attacks and we didn't have anyone with good long range DPS.Please do something, like make it an actually fire with Nuke worthy damage to keep people off of those braziers.

Great it's a broken Link...

[Stand The Wall.6987]

that's not a cheat spot. anyone can get up there, but its pointless to do so.

[Wilwynd.5798]

It was pretty game changer, that match, when we couldn't get to him or land damage because he was out of range. I know the ledge above Tranquility Cave is an out of range spot, but it does not seem as roundbout to get to.

I didn't know to do that, I'm sorry!

[Eddbopkins.2630]

I don't see why the thf or one of the gaurds couldnt jump to that location as well. Its not diffacult at all. However he is standinng in fire and well that should hurt in any world/realm/or reality. But this is gw2 and any pvp inprovement is always 2 years away.

[shadowpass.4236]

This has been in the game since the game came out. You can cast AoEs up there to damage the person.

Either way, it's not very good to be up there. He's standing off point spamming ranged attacks.

This isn't a exploit any more than any other jumping puzzles, you can just throw some AoEs at him and he will have to leave.

I honestly can't decide if OP is a troll or this is the new average player level in PvP..

1) Literally anyone can get up there, it's called using your keyboard

2) He dies to any AoE

3) He is offpoint

4) Are you losing to a condi engi in 2018?

5) Dude you even have reflect on your bar why don't you use it..

This is the average player level these days.

It’s called kiting

Nothing wrong with dying to a well played condi engi. Ive beaten a many of people on mine...even had a condi battle with scourge

Just Dodge

Well, I got nothing against people getting up there, but I'm completely against fire that doesn't burn.

Every single torch, campfire, cauldron or any other source of intense heat or flames in every single instance, open world map, and the mists should cause the Fire effect. From the starting tutorial instances to the last raid and every single arena.

Well, except Lava, lava has its own effect. But of course, there's also lava that doesn't cause that effect. That needs to get fixed too.

and I should be able to clear burn stacks by jumping into water but the game doesnt work this way lmao

[suffish.4150]

Remove this spot please along with all the other jumping puzzles! I should not have to kite to be the best player at pvp. This is about fighting isn’t it??

[Peutrifectus.4830]

This is not a cheat spot. There's one on both sides of the point that you just jump onto from the stair leading in. Now theives porting to the rafters in the temple node with a rifle is an exploited mesh flaw. This is nothing of the sort.

[Wilwynd.5798]

Nobody reads anymore. My team was almost entirely comprised of melee range attackers. I did use Feedback, the Engineer just evades or absorbs it. Also, Considering I'd have to leave the point to climb up the stairs to then jump down, if I'm not chilled or crippled and nuked by the enemy team by that point, to end his obnoxious attacking is ridiculous in a Conquest Game Mode, where the object of the game is literally being on the point. The Engineer would set up camp and take shots from there. No one on my team was equipped to handle the heavy hitters on the enemy team and the annoyance of the Engineer out of attacking reach. It is a disadvantageous spot. This season is already difficult with wacky match ups, making this spot all the more frustrating.People love to jump to "flaming" insults before considering any of the points made. Welcome to the internet.

Well, now you know exactly why people usually have a ranged weapon in their set. You, too, will pick up a greatsword or a staff as your secondary weapon, and this sort of thing won't ever happen to you again.

[Liewec.2896]

how dare they use a vantage point! HACKS!they should stand still on the ground so the melee can kill them!

[Mini Crinny.6190]

we have found the ultimate counter to all mesmer players

There have been numerous suggestions listed in this thread on how to play around someone standing on the brazier. But by all means, ignore all of them and continue to complain about how you're too lazy to actually try any of them.

That brazier has been in the game since the map came out, you can AoE, ranged attack, reflect, go up there yourself, etc. etc. It's not broken, it's not cheating, it doesn't need to be removed.

[SoulSin.5682]

Perhaps we should tell him about the spot above the pillar in the forest as well :)

This is why we can't have nice things.

(4 was fine, anyone decent enough can use condi engie to kill... but is rare in 2018)
