Oh my god, the pet changes. Moa supremacy!  Guardians, mesmers, necros and rangers got some rather interesting buffs. Thieves finally got their venom utilities to be aoe, meaning they aren't 100% useless 95% of the time. Ele's got some needed balance... Really the engineer changes were poo poo. I guess it's ok for condi engineers, but power engies got shafted.

"Added an option to show a target’s health percentage in its health bar." Excellent. "Players can now right-click on utility skills while out of combat to open the Utility Skills selection UI, in addition to clicking on the Change Skills arrow button." Oh good. I don't need that AutoHotKey script anymore. "Most skills will now attempt to activate as soon and frequently as possible so long as their inputs are held down. This also applies to most ground-targeted skills when instant ground targeting is used." Holy poo poo, if this works the way it sounds this is a game changing update to how combat and skill rotations work.

I never really noticed the second stack mattering much, since my general basilisk venom-using thief experience was in unranked pvp where either the target evaporated or I did Also network errors post patch~

Sair posted:This seems a bit useless now. Even with that nerf, at any time the thief is not solo, the venoms are a buff. Unless you had a condi thief that had the venom share trait ti begin with, in which case why did you have a condi thief? Overall the .5 seconds loss per person affected I feel is offset by the fact that you can use it on a power build while not having to trait for venom share.

This update or another one better include another bloodstone dust eater or something. The unstable salvage items are great and I hope they do lower the price of mats.

The nodes also drop an item that can be exchanged for stuff at vendors. I imagine the bloodstone dust is just flavour and the real point of the nodes is the other thing.

There is another eater, but it eats shards and dragonite. Personally, bloodstone was the ascended mat I had the least of due to using a bag alt, so I'm okay with this. Also the nodes have a chance to drop rubies, which can be traded in combination with other items you get by being not poo poo at gliding for ascended trinkets with what appear to be stat selectable combos.

Someone linked an eater called a sentient anomaly when I was in zone earlier. Edit: That's the one.

Thanks for all the tips earlier. I played around with a few classes then burnt my boost on my Engineer. He was my first class way back when and I just had more fun playing him. I also figured I could hop right into that fancy new living story - but whoops turns out I need to get some gliding skills! How long of a grind is it to get that stuff? Also wtf is mastery and how do I master.

We already have two bloodstone eaters between Herta and Mawdrey. If you're getting more than like 400 bloodstone dust per day, teach me your secrets cause I'm totally out of the stuff from crafting a ton of ascended gear recently.

New zone is pretty good and fun and gives lot of experience. It's really nice to have a zone you can just wander and explore and there are events all over but there is no big timed meta you have to schedule around. Glider attacks are really powerful too.

I like that the patch notes almost read like they finally realised that huge HP sponges with simple, repetitive attack patterns are tedious but not challenging.

So I logged on and saw a ton of people still running around playing the game. Was the expansion launch kinda lovely, or the lack of post-launch content a downer? For awhile it seemed like morale in the thread was pretty drat low. Now it seems to be back up.

You can finally earn experience after 80 for spirit shards once again, which they disabled when the expansion launched for whatever reason.

Anyone able to write some quick rundowns of which classes are buffed or nerfed this patch for those of us that don't main every single class and don't want to read through dozens of minor changes to skills and traits nobody uses or remembers? I can do a quick one for elementalist. Elementalist status: heavily nerfed. Notable changes
Overall, the builds haven't changed, everything just feels worse to play because of the cooldown nerf to everything, you now have a lot more dead-air time using auto attacks while waiting for skills to come off cooldown and things don't line up as well coming out of overload channels, staff probably hit the worst out of any of the weapons.
