I forgot those achievements give a legendary trinket, I just did a good chunk of each for my skyscale so maybe I should keep pushing them.

iGestalt posted:Thanks for the class advice. I'm gonna play around with the suggestions and see if I enjoy all of them. At the very least i do enjoy Warrior, bland or not. Warrior elite specs are cool. Berserker feels extremely visceral and fast paced, spellbreaker is kind of this cool more methodical spec with neat visuals.

How do you even pick which one to use when you have that many? Mounts are the main thing I’ll splurge on because you can’t unlock them in-game, but I still only have 8 total.

I just unlocked my skyscale two weeks ago and was so pumped to get to upgrade it with a sweet skin, so many choices. I chose starscale because I love space and moon and star cosmetic stuff, but it was a hard choice.

It’s definitely on par with content:cost as other game dlcs would be, plus the return to living world achievements give you a lot of currency and stuff for those zones.

There’s a huge super long effort post in this very thread about how good celestial specter is for open world and other game modes, so I’d unlock that and read over it. It’s pretty fun.

I can’t get into rev sadly. I don’t like how your utilities and weapon skills all use the same resource, it creates this annoying friction between the two. I also don’t love weapon swapping so the profession with “weapon swapping extra” as their mechanic just isn’t for me. They have rad animations though.

Can someone give me a breakdown of how core engineer was envisioned to be played before elite specs, mechanics wise? It’s the only profession I’ve had a ton of trouble jiving with. I think it’s finally clicking with me that you only have a very small of weapon choices because kits are supposed to act as my weapon swaps, and because my utility slots are functioning as my weapon swaps, the tool belt becomes my true “utility skills”. Is that right?

Ok cool. I’m having fun leveling one up instead of boosting it and it’s helping things click a bit more than boosting did. I don’t love the limited weapon choices but some of the traits like aim assisted rocket are very cool. I feel like I’m playing trooper in swtor. I made it a sylvari, add me to the weird race class combos. Too bad they didn’t make turrets race themed, it’d be sick to have seed turrets and stuff like that. I’d really like to see an offensive elixir focused spec but unfortunately it seems that went to necro. I originally was thinking scrapper but the idea of a sylvari holosmith makes so much sense. A plant who doesn’t just use the sun to grow, but also to destroy enemies. Ort fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Sep 22, 2022 |

bagrada posted:The difference in learning a new fight with a berserker caster (even reaper) and a celestial machinist is a bit night and day. In this case talking about the destroyer lieutenants in Draconis Mons that you fight on the calderas. There's some room for improvement as I learn their attack patterns and play a bit more safely with the reaper, but its the difference between "Oh poo poo it's looking at me... welp outright defeated before I can tap the dodge button" and "oh huh my health bar actually moved guess I better saunter out of this burning puke". The range helps. Those things seem impossible with a melee weapon.

You described a lot of core issues with elementalist, mainly that the entire thing revolving around dancing stances with cooldowns gives you less flexibility even though the idea maybe originated as a class with more flexibility. You’re at minimum 1 step farther removed from accessing any skill than any other profession, so even if you have a utility block or stability in Earth, it’s useless unless you’re camping Earth, which makes you useless at other things. I’ve played a good amount of ele and think it can be fun but it honestly just needs a redesign from the ground up.

I just think of the collections as a list of things during my playtime that happen to have a cool reward. Open world games lack direction on what to do some times so it usually keeps me interested in the game for longer. Just don’t try to power through it all as fast as you can.

Quickness or alacrity need to be 100% or close uptime as a design feature or removed from the game. They change your play style and pace too much to be up 20-30% of the time, especially when it’s poorly communicated compared to something like heroism in WoW when it’s clear when and where to use it and when it’s up. GW2 boons are just too obtuse for them to be up partially.

blatman posted:I have a followup from my ranger question awhile ago - I eventually landed on condi druid in celestial gear and it appears to be invincible, now I don't have to wait around for other people to do champ bounty dailies I tried this too and thought it was cool, druids are always my favorite in games. The CA animations are very cool, I wish the skills were more meaningful for dps instead of just triggering a couple bleeds. Also not a short bow fan but I might come back to it when they can use MH dagger and hammer. More ranger talk, I came back after about 10 months and am so bummed they removed the cooldown reduction on disable for untamed. I know it made balancing the class hard but it made it the most fun and engaging solo spec in a long time. Now it just plays very slow and boring.

..btt posted:Have you tried condi druid since the latest patch? It's currently benching ~42k: Yeah that’s the build I tried, it feels like CA is mostly part of the rotation to get your buff up and apply a couple bleeds via the immobilize debuffs. My brain might just be broken and like to see strike damage on a skill when I use it. The damage is juicy though.

Actuarial Fables posted:Not seeing the strike damage or hit sounds is pretty difficult for me to get used to for damage druid, and a lot of the slow building for the bleeds on the pulsing immobilize skills is just odd. It's cool that CA3 does an immob and enemeies just stop in their tracks, but without a bit of damage or a hit sound it just feels ineffectual. Maybe if the added bleeds-on-immob/cc also showed up in the tool tips so it didn't feel like you accidentally brought your wvw immob druid build to pve. This is something that bothers me a bit about specter, too. The skills do damage but everything is delayed. Nearly everything related to specter is push button, long animation, effect. Scepter 3, shroud skills, even wells to a lesser extent. They all have a delay that feels way longer than any other class so the whole rotation feels off to me and makes the buttons feel “less good” to push.

This story has a few ups but I have never been impressed with it and mostly feel like it’s a slog on the way to do other things. It’s the last part of the return to.. achievements I ever want to do, mostly because it’s unskippable dialogue in story chapters I’ve already done. I really wish they’d go back to those campy dialogue cutscenes just so I could skip hearing them again. The rest of the game is super fun though and worth dealing with the mediocre story.

Yeah in no world is an automatic in-game dps meter a remotely good thing. Any reason you’d ever need it, you or someone else would have it installed already.

The reason dps meters don’t always cause toxic behavior is likely due to the population of people that choose to use them, which goes out the window if you made them default in-game for everyone. Saying they don’t produce toxic behavior is more of a straw man than saying they don’t.

Horizontal progression is awesome and one of the best parts of this game. More games should have it. I also think less adherence to the trinity of classes is something cool about it and allows a lot of build creativity even when filling one of those roles. It’s not just “pick x class and y spec”.

ComradeBigT posted:It seems like it'll be a mixed bag of effectiveness, some stuff like necro pistol looks like it'll be decent regardless of spec, but other weapons that are more reliant on specific trait choices to be 'good' are likely going to be much worse. Engi sword for example gets a damage boost based on heat level on Holo which you'll presumably not get on any of the other specs. I think Thief rifle falls into a similar camp, on top of rifle not being all that good of a weapon other then for specific things anyway. I was thinking that for warrior dagger too. It’s kind of propped up by sun and moon style in spellbreaker. There are only a handful of new combos that seem interesting like dagger Mesmer, hammer/dagger for ranger, gs for necro and gs/sb for rev. Elementalist makes out well, too.

I wish relics were collectibles with their own UI instead of inventory slots on each character. Make them harder to acquire or something but a drop-down menu to change at-will across your account would be so nice.

The old daily system sucked and the rewards sucked. The new one will be better once they add more options to get your 3, but it feels way better reward-wise. Never once in many years of playing did I ever say “oh cool” for any login or daily reward. The fact I can choose a skin or QoL upgrades is way more motivating. I’ve found the daily things more varied so far, too.

jokes posted:Only time mage should get alacrity. Quickness should also be an extremely brief, rare buff-- the only good source of it is a time mage, or personal buffs. I’d rather just get rid of them. Brief buffs that change the pace of your rotation are awful, especially in a game with a horrible UI.
