scrapper took a big hit in pvp because of the trait reorder. you can no longer take both adaptive armour and the trait that adds stability to your stomp, making function gyro pretty goddamn useless since a wet fart will now push it away

I'm not sure anyone took the stability gyro trait before anyway. I generally just cleave and save my gyro for ressing because you benefit from having multiple people res, but not from having multiple people stomp. The gyro also stomps super slow and dies really easily. As someone else said, you should be throwing elixir b on your teammates who are stomping though. The bigger trade off, I think, is protection on heal vs stability on dodge and hammer damage.

You advanced in rank by winning >50% of your games and now you're winning 50% consistently and cant' advance further? Sounds like the system is working.

The only thing broken is your perception that you're Legendary tier material.

how dare you question my esports prowess

If we can talk about guild wars 2 for a minute, does anyone have any advice for the glint portion of playing power rev? Apart from activating them as I run out of the gates and using the heal for a panic escape, I don't really know what I'm doing.

The fury/stunbreak one has a small cast time now so you can't just mash it when you get stunned anymore. Other than that just watch your energy if you're popping them all at once. I usually start with the boon duration, swiftness, and might ones up. Use the F1 active when I get to a fight, put the firey dragon face thing on the point and turn on the fury one. The heal turns damage into health so it's another good one to use when you get stunned, but that one you don't have to prep ahead of time. The aoe blind/knockbacks are obviously good for securing/preventing stomps.

Are the hero point things you get in WvW still soul bound?

Proof of Heroics are no longer soulbound. Any existing ones that you had Right-click them and -> Consume All. Any new ones you get go directly into your account wallet.

Everything in this patch is good.

What's the poor man's viper for engineer and necro accessories?

I'm pretty salty after trying to do the living story achievements and getting stuck on the first one with the flamethrower for like an hour. I don't know if it was bugged or what but gently caress whoever's idea it was to gate all the new stat combos behind a bunch of nonsense.

On a more positive note, I finally did some baby fractals and they were super easy/fun. I wish I'd tried them sooner.

You can just craft exotic Viper's rings/accessories/amulet with a Jeweler.

Oh, I didn't realize that. That'll do, thanks.

How does AR work with weapons? If you have one set with and one set without does your total AR fluctuate +/-10 whenever you swap?

Now that you don't have to be in the pvp lobby

Whoa, this might actually get me to play more. I burned out last season when queue times started getting ridiculous. Can you queue from anywhere? I don't imagine they'd let you from wvw, but that would be pretty sweet.
