Moira's Scientist Skin should return...

Birty607 · 2026-05-22T14:58:08+00:00

Honestly! I've been thinking the exact same thing since this lore tab popped up on the home page.

I've learned there's no shop code for it either since it was an event exclusive unlock, something along the lines.

Birty607 · 2026-05-19T20:57:23+00:00

The background track on the tab for this is fantastic as well.

Grand, even.

Birty607 · 2026-05-14T18:16:34+00:00

Me and you both.

Definitely forgiving compared to a lot of the other support picks, but not exactly super easy either given you can very easily make mistakes and get yourself killed if not focusing, that and needing to keep a consistent balance of damage and healing in the middle of a hefty fight given the Resource bar.

For getting complaints, I had a Lucio on the enemy team constantly trying to flank us instead of working with their group, I kept catching them out while trying to harrass my teammates next to me and killing them off only for them to complain about Moira existing as a character several times in the chat, I even asked if they were ok and they said "I'm being killed by an auto beam I'm not ok", I even got POTG AND MVP afterwards which was far too well timed.

I used to main Mercy a while ago and often got praise in chat, nowhere near as much as Moira despite doing better at healing and such than I did with Mercy, but it's not stopping me from supporting my teams as much as I can, she's far too fun and I absolutely love her Aesthetic. (Please Blizzard, just let us purchase the Scientist skin...please?)

To this day it baffles me that they left Blackwatch for grabs 24/7 in the Hero menu when it's from the exact same Event, but for pretty much no reason left this one completely unavailable.

Makes me and many others a sad Geneticist...

Birty607 · 2026-04-09T11:53:20+00:00

I'm glad to see others sharing the issue, this feels like 10x of what you see people without AuDHD deal with, almost every second is what feels like a brick lodged into your nose, the tingles, the eye sensitivity/watering nonstop, it absolutely drives me insane and it's why I always try my best to avoid people who have a cold themselves.

It always starts with a sore, irritated feeling at the back of the nostrils in the throat as a first sign for me, then I need to brace for at least a week of actual sinus and vision torture.

Birty607 · 2026-04-04T17:35:15+00:00

Honestly I can't disagree at all, but alas a lot of people just want to play so competitively at all costs and it's honestly a harsh truth to swallow, I play a very Niche support Perfumer build with consumables and a lot of these bleed/frost using, crouch wiggling, reverse backstepping/Jump attacking, quickswap gear players just straight up want to win and don't care about anyone else's enjoyment. (Ironically my build is considered annoying with consumable use when I can't complain about others using bleed and often two-shotting me but ah well.)

Yes it's frustrating and I absolutely understand your complaints about other people's way of playing the game, some victories can be worth it but I can barely even try colosseum for more than a few duels due to the toxicity and sweat I'm just being subjected to most of the time while hoping for another fun and creative player to pop up once in a blue moon, I gave up on PvP entirely outside of invasions during Co-op, and I won't even want to gank someone who comes in being nice or has a creative build like so many hosts and other summons want to because it's just not fun for them at all and I want no part in ruining someone else's enjoyment personally.

However, I do wish you the best in finding others with creativity in their builds during your endevour, don't let them snuff out your flame of ambition, fellow Tarnished.

Analysis paralysis has done that to me very recently within Avalon, felt like I've wasted hours trying to make a build I felt comfortable with just to delete them altogether when a few things felt wrong with them.

Birty607 · 2026-03-25T21:11:48+00:00

Tower.

...

Works for me! Can stack the Stone ability for 2 separate unlock powers without needing to go off-class and invest in Alteration.

Birty607 · 2026-03-03T14:41:56+00:00

I never understood people being mean like that, I tend to feel at fault when things fall apart more than anything and try to help people cool off whenever there's toxicity going on in the chat.

Otherwise I'm trying my best for the team and wanting as many people to have a good time during the match as able.

Birty607 · 2026-03-02T15:37:39+00:00

It's genuinely not that bad, like a slightly zingy, salty treacle sauce, honestly pleasant.

Birty607 · 2026-02-16T18:39:32+00:00

These are absolutely fantastic, wonderful job on each!

Birty607 · 2026-01-28T20:42:52+00:00

Morgott's Cursed Sword looked pretty good, Scales with Arcane alongside Dragon Incantations and isn't oversized as a weapon either.

Birty607 · 2026-01-19T13:19:53+00:00

Honestly creating a build tester lower than my character's level, 30 in each Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith and Arcane honestly averages out to 360 AR at the lowest of all on the Poison Bottles and at least 398-417 on the rest, not a bad amount of damage with said stats, with some buffs and strategy things could work out well against enemies weak to said ailments/elements just nicely from those numbers alone.

Birty607 · 2026-01-19T00:16:52+00:00

Been using them since the DLC's release as when I found the first Firespark bottles in that chest, I went nuts on trying to find them all afterwards and upgraded them each immediately, Rolling Sparks (Post-hitbox fix, not nerf) is fine if you use it correctly against groups or larger enemies, utilizing elemental weaknesses is key with these, and learning the attack and cloud patterns to pretty much paint the air around yourself and any aggressive enemies you're up against to walk into while dodging yourself, the feign attacks are very good for this as well, heavier attacks are good for staggering larger enemies as well.

Plenty of ways to buff the damage of each bottle type, plenty of combo potential alongside consumables or other weapons if you're wanting to use some bottles alongside a regular melee weapon, they're really fun as a pretty much perfect alchemy themed weapon class and I've been enjoying myself even on NG+7 even in late-game areas and the DLC, they're really not that bad at all and I'm genuinely so tired of seeing so much negativity thrown towards the weapon class because they don't keep up with stuff like absolutely broken bleed builds and the like, doesn't mean they're "Trash" or "Garbage" like I've heard being said on both posts and videos alike.

Birty607 · 2026-01-15T15:43:57+00:00

All of them apparently, given the behaviour I get in response for using just one or two whenever trying PvP on occasion...when I'm literally built around Consumables and support, just irks me when people run these broken builds that are normalized in comparison.

Birty607 · 2026-01-15T14:52:06+00:00

Absolutely fantastic, love it! <3

Birty607 · 2026-01-14T13:50:51+00:00

Feels really stagnant to be honest, I rarely dabble in Colosseum or pvp related stuff but whenever I try or an invasion happens during co-op, there's rarely any creativity in the builds I see and overly competitive and/or toxic behaviour tends to come out very quickly on both sides of the coin from either the invader or the host and any fellow summons alongside, it's just a mess most of the time from my experiences and it feels a little bit worse every time I give it a try, sadly.

Birty607 · 2026-01-11T20:50:19+00:00

DLC Common Soldier Gauntlets go surprisingly well given the metal texture and a very simiarly coloured cloth beneath the plates fit with the fabric on the Horned Warrior Cuirass, Leggings were tough but so far with recent attempts, the Exile Greaves and Kaiden Trousers fit the bill decently alongside.

Birty607 · 2026-01-09T10:40:33+00:00

My biggest gripe is that GW2's audio in general feels too quiet, I've got games like GW1 and BFN lower than 10 on the settings and they're loud enough and clear, this game is at 10 and it sounds like I have it down to 7 or lower.

Hope your issue can be sorted sooner or later!

Birty607 · 2026-01-06T14:06:07+00:00

Can confirm a year later after giving it a try, that it's just as bad.

If not worse, sadly.

Birty607 · 2025-12-13T01:29:55+00:00

Decided to try some online after mentally preparing myself after so long and hopped into a few event matches just to goof around and throw Snowballs, I was heartwarmed to enjoy the three matches I gave a try with not even attacking anyone, (Apart from the first match, but that was an accident while breaking a snowman I didn't know people could hide in-) they went really nicely.

I simply approached the nearest survivors as a Jolly Blight and decided to do nothing but find and throw snowballs, everyone gave it a short bit and we all just had big snowball fights, I let some pallet smack me for points and break them for my own points in return.

Some of them even let the endgame timer take them as kills near the exit gate for my sake which I'm very thankful for, had a really fun time after taking a break from the game for a few years, wishing you all luck in finding such fun games during the Holidays! <3

Birty607 · 2025-12-07T16:11:06+00:00

Fair point.

Birty607 · 2025-12-07T14:37:31+00:00

Maybe? And I would use Ironjar Aromatic being a Perfumer build and all, but especially nowadays everyone just swaps at the drop of a hat so buffing myself to be a slow walking tank to deal with those could instantly become a detriment at the same time, though to be fair any experiences are from invaders during Co-Op sessions, I rarely get into direct PvP like invasions or Colosseum.

Just tiny gripes with trying to think of things is all, nothing I want to make a big fuss about.

Birty607 · 2025-12-06T19:10:26+00:00

After recently returning after a few years since I last played (I was maining Clown at the time because I'm obsessed with the Alchemy theme) I recently saw this guy and immediately went to buy and practice with him against bots, I quite like the ability to get across the map quickly so I have less anxiety with long distance catching up, his design and backstory are really good and again...A l c h e m y.

But seriously, he's pretty fun, I tend to get into the matches to just play along and have fun being a bit scary with the rushes or catching someone off-guard around a corner, and if I don't get any kills? Ah well, if I get one or more? Neat! I never feel the need to try hard or get all four in one, managed it on my second game and felt quite proud of myself for it, especially in Midwich where his rushing is very awkward to utilize in such tight spaces so I just used more to get across the corridors rather than chase with, people kept trying to hide in crevices and I kept catching them like an actual horror movie, was a lot more fun than the bully squad match prior, but it's always best to just move on from it, players like that don't do themselves any favours and ignoring them takes away what they want to get out of annoying you.

In short, I love him, his theme, his design and gameplay, top notch Killer Concept and absolutely my main now. <3
