Adhesive Gamin posted:You also get nearly 20% more crit damage in ferocity from Blood Reaction (in Berserker gear), Quickness, and Fury when hitting Berserk mode, 15% attack speed for the duration, and slotting Berserker also lets you use Blood Reckoning for 6 seconds of adrenaline from crits and some extra crit chance, and Head Butt to instantly fill your adrenaline bar.

Aesis posted:Depends. You get extra evade and are also immune to movement impairing conditions if you choose the trait (or just pick Bound for hilarity). Aesis posted:Physical skills offer damage dealing and interrupt while having short cool down. Don't get me wrong, Daredevil still has its strengths--mostly Bound and Impact Strike for SPvP--but it's not as amazing as you're making it sound. Also: Aesis posted:Whereas Berserker doesn't offer anything new or improved.

Amante posted:Hilariously, Dash is a trap and Bound is the one that is actually good. It turns out that delivering a sizable chunk of damage on dodge plus getting a +10% multiplier to damage for four seconds after is strong! As for Berserker, yes you get overall damage boost, but you can't even utilize it because everyone's using CC (or you get blinded). Attack speed means nothing when you can't even hit enemy constantly. Also Flaming Flurry's fireballs don't even follow target, which means an enemy just has to move perpendicular to you to dodge. And as you stated it requires 'luck'. Basically you're hoping that somehow enemy will simply get hit by 3~5 of your Flaming Flurry (that is, if you can manage to use it 3~5 times at all). And overall Primal Burst skills are worse off than Burst skills apart from GS or Sword. e: I'm not saying elite specs have to be 'flashy'. It's just that with current game flow of PvP, utilizing Berserk spec/skills is near impossible. You're basically hoping to constantly deal damage meanwhile your enemy is nuking the hell out of you in 5 seconds. Aesis fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Nov 27, 2015 |

Aesis posted:Bound does offer extra damage but most of the times you're going to be immobilized or CCed to utilize it. While Dash doesn't offer damage boost, it can be used to remove movement impairing effects and run away. Aesis posted:As for Physical skills, Distracting Dagger increases cool down on affected skill by 10 seconds which is useful for interrupting heal. Aesis posted:Fist Flurry also offers interrupt (well, all 5 have to hit first) and Bandit's Defense offers quick block, knock back and stun break. They might not be great but they have their uses. I get the ostensible uses of the Physicals, believe me... but most didn't end up living up to the hype. Ironically though, people are severely underestimating Impact Strike right now, which is the single best new thing Thief got from Daredevil (Bound is a close second). I see what you're saying about Berserker, as a lot of it is sustained damage boosts that prefer a target that is fairly stationary. Still think people are underestimating the spec, ESPECIALLY in PvE.

i have no idea how this celestial scrapper build works, only that it does, and very well 1v1 another engi and he died even though all i was doing was trying to keep my hp up i may be slightly at fault because i know some of the combos (tranq gun 5 + 4 then stow, heal turret burst then hammer 3, etc.) but theres some seriously rad stuff you can do here

Dreggon posted:i have no idea how this celestial scrapper build works, only that it does, and very well There are a lot of pretty neat new builds using scrapper that I've found. For example I found a scrapper based condi build that uses the gyros that isn't entirely awful. Between the poison shot volley and the aoe poison field from the Condition gyro, it has decent poison damage, and using the function drone to stomp is always fun.

I've been running the hammer build with a marauder amulet and the amount of damage it does is insane, I had a few matches where I was racking up like 600k+ direct damage. It's probably not as great all-around since you're more dependent on stealth for survivability but the damage catches people off guard, for sure.

Couple things I noticed about a thief I never play while doing a run of hero points and a dragon stand to 100% the map's easy poi and hero points. Thief has a major trait that gives them 7% better damage if they are within 300 range of someone, by contrast, the dragon hunter has a minor trait that gives them 7% damage at 0-600 range and 13% damage beyond that. They also seem to be the only class that didn't get any new F1 button functionality, instead just getting what they used to have in acrobatics, but largely worse. Speaking of the F1, I used steal on quite a few different heart of thorns enemies and steal didn't actually give me anything to use. I know they are probably the least played class by a fair margin, but dang it just feels underwhelming and badly tuned when you look at other classes, like that dragon hunter minor trait to major trait comparison, I'm not even sure why dragon hunter has a free 7-13% damage minor trait.

Not even sure why they named the spec as Dragonhunter and gave even more attack capability when you consider what Guardian does or what the name implies.

I suspect it's named after Braham, who wants to kill the poo poo out of Mordremoth for spoilerific reasons. He even takes up his mother's bow though we don't ever see him use it.

the ~lore~ reason provided is that the guardians dedicate themselves to defending tyria or whatever and with everything happening the best way to defend tyria is to actively hunt the dragons so there you go

That final battle is a buggy mess. It took me like 6 tries because Canach kept opening rifts in mid air. It was good to see Tybalt there for the last fight but I'm not sure how that happened.

How'd the new armor/weapon skin situation end up working out in HoT anyways? People were predicting a lot of ugly plant sets. Does HoT even have much in the way of new skins at all?

I like some of the ascended specialization weapons like the wrench, the Auric weapon set, and the blade dick armour. Not much else I've seen, there's nothing else noteworthy really that I know about.

Is there a way to make leveling fun? It's frustrating that in most MMOs (including this one), leveling is simply too "easy". There's no challenge in face-rolling mobs. What's a way to make this somewhat more challenging?
