Jesus, why are the new armor statlines so expensive to craft? Each piece needs 10 linseed oil on top of the regular mats. That adds like 10g+ per piece.

Is that the price to pay for a decent condition damage build?

A nice thing about the new fight is that champion mobs actually drop poo poo. So you actually get poo poo for participating in the full fight versus someone coming at the last minute and beating the threshold damage for the chest.

Every boss fight should be at least as involved and rewarding as this.

Hi.

What have I missed since February and now? Is Viper gear still insanely overpriced? Is Arus still fat?

TIA.

You means the ones that were just nerfed cause ele was overpowered for 3 years straight being able to heal the best and do twice as much dps as all other classes at he same time except thief (only 30% more than a thief)

Nah, the ones that make the class fun to play and not always use the same 10% of traits/skills available to the class.

Been sitting on like 40 stacks of gold ore for the past 2.5 years waiting for that to happen. Surely it'll come with the underwater revamp, where ascended jeweler will only make trinkets that work underwater.

So I've been bouncing around a bit with this idea to try to set up an event/events for WvW for either/both guilds where we all use the same gimmick, ala the classic MM necro/reaper zerg.

https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FR9N3WF

Just gauging any interest in it for now before any actual effort goes into it.

The gimmick should be everyone wears full "Mighty" gear. That way everyone can have matching gear without spending too much.

Actually, I have one autistic complaint. And that's how the layout of the new zone doesn't match up at all with the uncovered map.

Yeah, I'm actually more willing to accept inconsistencies with the RoF because they're so volatile in nature. Though looking at the HoT map since release, it seems like they're just stuffing random zones where they can fit them.

Yeah, the hearts are surprisingly worthwhile, with good rewards from the vendors and a variety of things to do. Throwing poo poo at floating gadgets while gliding, in particular, is pretty novel.

It's highly unlikely, but I would kill for them to retrofit the old hearts with a similar system. The game could always use low-key repeatable content.

Cantha had great variety in its environments, but wasn't too fun to actually explore. Kaineng especially was torture to navigate in GW1, but would be sooooo awesome translated to GW2's engine. Actually, every zone in Cantha would translate well to GW2 and while feeling unique.

Elona was much more polished but got a little repeptitive with the desert landscapes, even if there were slightly different colors of desert available. The real highlight of Nightfall was the amazing architecture scattered across maps. And that would work out really well in GW2, whereas in GW1, buildings were mostly giant props.

The enchantment teardown mechanic was pretty cool, even more so with the patch that added flash enchantments. I'd like to see how Guild Wars 2 would handle that given as there aren't enchantments anymore.

Effects on boon removal?

The berserker fire shield thing is kind of reminiscent.

I'd love an ele spec that worked similarly, though, since they're probably the closest thematically to dervishes. And they could use an alternative melee weapon after the disappointment of warhorns. *cough*
