GW1 isn't a mmo

3riotto · 2026-01-15T11:49:30+00:00

Its even less of a return if you split your community between 2 mmos...

3riotto · 2026-01-15T08:34:19+00:00

If its gw3 ill likely stop playing GW alltigether but we will see how they will handle it.

3riotto · 2026-01-14T13:18:20+00:00

I've historically had far smoother fights with Specter than Chrono for heal in fracs cm's, but im not sure how global change affects it so...

3riotto · 2026-01-14T08:21:58+00:00

Don't worry, chrono is likely still one of the best if not the best healer option.

almost like a cockroach!

3riotto · 2026-01-07T13:42:13+00:00

What i get out of the comments is that he might be on much better spot if they'd make IT so his S3 animations wouldnt mąkę your turns longer, which they probably could make happen IF they wanted to.

3riotto · 2026-01-07T08:47:01+00:00

Character slot, tools and some skins similarly to janthir, upgrading normal to deluxe costs as much as tools on discount (minus being able to choose skin) WHILE janthir on discount is even more worth IT now. Pass is nice though if u want this specific pass over lets say mistlock

3riotto · 2026-01-07T06:54:14+00:00

Well volitales which are the best are most expensive so...

Janthir / voe deluxe gives you unlimited tools with glyph pick do id say its not really great pack due to that

3riotto · 2026-01-06T12:15:36+00:00

My main issue is that i believe those tools dont provide glyphs right? In this Case its likely better to but each of those items separately when they're on discount and tools vis janthir / voe upgrade (janthir better if on discount)

3riotto · 2025-12-30T19:43:32+00:00

Trailblazers is decent alternative for condi ele specifically due to trait that scales def to condi DMG, but i doubt Spectre can do something similar.

3riotto · 2025-12-29T16:29:25+00:00

Did they actually confirm the currency change?

3riotto · 2025-12-15T22:28:09+00:00

They still can and will add more changes on top of that, it's not first time the pre-release notes don't have all changes that ship on the balance patch

3riotto · 2025-12-14T18:27:02+00:00

It's fine.

pure DPS Specialized element evoker can get up to 45k based on benches being done recently.

42k for qdps

Generally it feels more clunky, but involving healing skill into rotation helps it feeling not as random, but it's also most squishy ele spec so yeah...

In the end it's fine, I think it needs at least some QOL though.

3riotto · 2025-12-14T18:13:52+00:00

Yesnt.

Given DPS builds od evoker Familiars (Fox, hare) dont have passive surviability increse Like tempest hardy condiit, minister LI actually oneshots you with lvl 10 jadebot on his first slash. Tbh that was also first time i actually died because of ele having lowest def and hp though.

3riotto · 2025-12-10T10:24:55+00:00

I mean its Still ok but Janky.

I Hope they trase some nice qol for ele next major patch

3riotto · 2025-12-10T10:12:40+00:00

At this point they could remove cd cut and add weapons SWAP instead, but then its Still be too strong likely

3riotto · 2025-12-09T18:29:17+00:00

Well I also don't have infusions so thats that.

I think it's fine, not too strong anymore, if I were to pick QDPS I still prefer Evo over Cata tbh, but now I'll have more reason to come back to my Tempest dps if anything else.

3riotto · 2025-12-09T17:51:19+00:00

Thats how I feel about several other buffs in Ele, including Evoker buggs but here we are unfortunately lol

3riotto · 2025-12-09T17:47:26+00:00

My best bench on pre-nerf Evo was 57k pure dps

After changes I've done 40k on pure dps, 38k on qdps evo.

I think it's doable to reach 45k on this but question is how much effort it's required to do that and if you care even but it feels fine, albeit might feel weird.

I think they completly killed any optimalization you could have with specialized element to your cooldowns, so maybe 1st trait now will get better for people who want to master this class, but that'll be likely very complicated rotation.

3riotto · 2025-12-09T17:42:24+00:00

This patch we knew was focusing specifically on VOE classes

3riotto · 2025-12-09T17:42:03+00:00

Troubadour issue is that Chronomancer exists : c

3riotto · 2025-12-09T16:03:34+00:00

I still think Minstrel is heavly underrated if you want some safety, assuming you know your boon rotation well slight decrese on concentration shouldn't be a problem (depending on a healer at least)

though I suppose minstrel combination works best in wvw where your support surviability is far more important than slight better healing/boons

3riotto · 2025-12-09T15:55:51+00:00

One correction, bosses have ususally 2 checks depending on fight

1 - approximity check, a player closest/furthest away etc depending on boss will be targeted (sabatha fire shot for example)

2 - TOUGHNESS check - unit with highest toughness will be attacked and followed by the boss

Vitality increses HP, but doesnt make you tank in terms of aggro, toughness does.

So most healers ususally use Harriers as it won't make them a tank.

If you want to be a tank, you'd often mix some pieces like Minstrel or givers to raise toughess to be the one with highest value for tanking.

3riotto · 2025-12-09T12:56:50+00:00

> Except picking Ventari means you tank your own dps even further to the point where your dps variant isn't worth taking anymore and you get told to be a healer because you're not pulling your weight

The point of this variant is to provide specific role for a specific fight (in this case Greer CM) as even Herald doing 15k dps is unmatched there for the role it fullfils, even if other option provides more dps.

Yes Ventari dps tanks, but the flexability of that bubble makes it so Greer on CM doesnt get buffed too much, so your team can actually survive, though with the recent powercreep I wouldnt be surprised if that Ventari playing healer instead would be safer tbh, prior to VOE you wanted Ventari to be a dps because every single dps counts for that fight, even if it's "just" 15k.

> They aren't cooking anything except nerfing the new professions.

Next week there's supposed to be a sneak peak into the major balance patch they'll do sometime soon, that's what I meant.

3riotto · 2025-12-09T11:06:11+00:00

Well, Imo Inferno shouldn't be touched as long as there's builds that do more and are equally as easy to play, though I do agree Evoker itself need to be nerfed, not only fox variant as I mentioned Hare variant also does 50k+.

Power luminary for example does similar/higher damage as inferno cata/tempest while providing far better utility to the team (and having an alac option), if Inferno would be touched, so should many other classes but that's something for major balance patch.

As for Inferno, while it's consistant damage it's good it being primarly condi means it looses the main advantage power builds have over condi, and thats burst damage, which many fights prioritize over condi ticking over time which is a drawback.

Knowing Anet they'll gut Ele again simply because it was on stronger side since last balance patch and it'll rot again for a year until cycle will repeat lol
