I think Imma going to go human hunter because one of the reasons I quit wow was that it was deeply uncool to be beastmaster, also because I'm too much of a wuss to dive into any of the magical classes right away. It will end up being OP next major patch and then nerfed into oblivion the moment I max level and get any good kit, I guarantee it.

...AND impairing daggers still don't combo finish like their tooltip says, scorpion wire did not get the same pull fix that magnet did, consume plasma doesn't give quickness or resistance even though they're both boons now, pulmonary impact doesn't work on downed enemies, daredevils respawn with only 100 endurance, signet of agility only restores 100 endurance instead of all of it, and even though they've supposedly been working on a rework for several months pistols are still a cruel joke without a punchline! But at least they got that radiant revival locked down! check out my Youtube fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Dec 14, 2015 |

At this point I'm wondering if they just quietly fired all of the dudes who had been talkative about class balance and design during the 3 months leading up to launch and that's why there appears to have been basically nothing changed between launch and now

Anet has never been good at communicating with their players but this is a whole new low. I've gotten more from Cletus and Xushin.

I for one am glad they will nerf the one thing about revenants that was widely considered too crappy and weak to even bother with. .......also I am literally the only person in the entire game who uses Mallyx. Thanks Anet. edit: oh wait I read the actual thing not directly from a goon now. Is this going to actually fix that thing where Dreggon instantly murders everyone with revenant? lol Lonk fucked around with this message at 23:08 on Dec 14, 2015 |

Yeah currently you can get Resistance up for so long with Mallyx skills, and Mallyx Revs just switch to Shiro and Sword/Shield for direct damage dealing/tanking. That is why despite having no extra Toughness or hp Mallyx Revs are absolute pain to kill. Survivability and sustainability of Mallyx build made it a major meta for couple of weeks now. That's why you'd see 'pro teams' running 2 Mallyx. e: Don't think it will change team composition though. Mallyx build will still be strong, just not near-immune to condition pressure. And Herald revive change means that Revs don't need to fear getting downed while trying to rez. Hell, they can just pretend to rez, get the buff and run while absorbing all the damage into heal for 2 seconds

Well I can say that when "playing as actually intended", mallyx kinda sucks and resistance sounds far more useful than it actually is (in PvE or WvW)

Unless they give something like a minor trait for the corruption tree changing how effective confusion and torment are in pve then I don't thing Mallyx will ever be useful in pve. As it stands the vast majority of enemies don't move enough or attack frequently.

Mallyx is useful in PvE, if your group already has a Chronomancer or two and you're getting lots of quickness then Shiro is kind of wasted, so the 10% stats from Embrace the Darkness is worth it. Especially since it's only 7 upkeep and you can keep running Facet of Nature. Plus you get a boon strip ability in Mallyx. You don't have to slot Corruption and condi gear to use Mallyx stance.

Erdricks posted:Is anet ignorant of how terrible bunker meta is or so set in their ways they just don't care? They nerfed the last heavy bunker meta when the game released, seems they didn't really learn much from it however since it's just as bad as the release days of a single guardian holding up a team forever. As someone who pvps on tempest, it's rather pointless to fight other tempest, I can literally sit down 1vs1 and our passive defenses will keep us topped off at 100% before I need to use one of my 4 heal skills.

What is the top dps in the current meta for PVE? I have all classes at 80 and have been trying out all the new specializations, but not sure which to play at the moment.

All of the classes do really good DPS for dungeons/fractals/overwold PvE. Raids are probably the only thing that comes close to favoring one class over another, but that's only because some classes (engi) do really good condi damage and other classes (druid, tempest) can heal well. The other classes can all fill a DPS role and multiple classes can tank. Whether or not you like the class mechanic/aesthetic is more important than whatever ~balance~ does or does not exist in PvE at the moment.

Short answer is everything but thief. Long answer is tempest for anything with a big hitbox, herald berserkers for damage and might and condi berserkers are strong, chronomancers make the best tanks and you need chronomancers in raids for alacrity and time warps, dragon hunters do good damage but I don't see them often in raids, condi engi are highly desired in raids for their damage and more importantly slick shoes just melting any defiance bar better then any other class because they drop 6+ pulsing 2 second knockdowns on top of a boss, slick shoes are so good I wouldn't be surprised at a nerf.

I went from trying tempest to berserk and it just feels like a lot of the stuff I got for free on tempest, like swiftness/protection/stunbreak automatically when starting overload, the berserk mode has to be traited for that sort of thing like automatic stunbreak, and most of the traits aren't quite as impressive because they are mostly stuff I assumed would be default on the class and are competing with eachother.

Bunker guardians seem to be winning all the sPvP matches I currently am in. I kinda want to roll as one now And I just realized that back in June that I had no idea what I was doing in WvW, and after having tried it out again just now, I've still absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I join, I run around on the big map and completely at loss for what to do, find some fellow players who won't answer my questions and then I just end up leaving. What's even the point in WvW? What do I actually do in WvW maps?
