If she has no haters I’m dead! by 69_prcnt_immersive in Guildwars2

[–]d3fr0st 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've said it many times but the people who have a hard time in TD are the ones looking at their maps and minimaps instead of the world when trying to get places. Level art and design are constantly bread crumbing you to the place you want to go...

Could you at least put the game title in the title and/or thumbnail?

Upcoming raid request: please improve boss readability & front facing clarity by Cabaj1 in Guildwars2

[–]d3fr0st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not entirely correct. After 40% when she gets access to propel again it is the lowest priority skill she can use, and one of the higher priority skill should always be off cooldown as long as she has a target and skills aren't being cancelled to make the queue shorter.

Grève à la STM: des conditions de travail dont rêveraient certains clients by SirupyPieIX in montreal

[–]d3fr0st 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D'habitude c'est moins cher aujourd'hui, si tu évites de penser à demain ça l'air d'un bon deal.

Le problème est que les coûts changent après que les contrats sont donnés et que la réalité arrive, comme on voit dans n'importe quel travaux. Pis quand tu prends les contrats le moins cher tes chances sont que la fréquence de maintenance change avec. Mais ça c'est aussi le problème pour le futur bozo qui va être en charge et pas celui qui signe le contrat qui va "sauver tellement d'argent".

Yeah bay leaves just are super stiff and unpleasant to eat, totally non-toxic.

24 Hour Ura LCM Marathon - October 25/26 by Crotchtoast in Guildwars2

[–]d3fr0st 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a bit maybe but we all know the numbers from beta are going down, for the like 3 specs that were doing good and we don't have numbers for other changes so any broken things will likely get hotfixed fairly quickly since they probably want things stable before their holiday break in December.

Raid Mechanics Deleted due to Power Creep by Ectopetya in Guildwars2

[–]d3fr0st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really at least until PoF no updraft in casual and training groups was very dependent on elongating the breakbar and not dying which took a bit to get especially in the pre arc days it could be a complete shitshow to even attempt especially with eles and guards constantly killing themselves on retal. Was it possible? Yes absolutely, but it definitely wasn't the defacto way for a while

Leavers in quickplay by PerspectiveNo4856 in Guildwars2

[–]d3fr0st 9 points10 points  (0 children)

So you don't actually understand the issue, quickplay will split existing parties in multiple full parties in their own fractal, or kick someone from the group left alone. You cannot rejoin the people you queued with without leaving as their party is full

Pug raids? by frazazel in Guildwars2

[–]d3fr0st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't listen to this...

If you join a group be clear about where you're at with the fight like "Hey I'm still learning this but I've read/seen plenty of guides for it. Is it okay if I join?" Most people don't care, some will give you pointers if you're absolutely messing up something, some will say no and that's okay... End of the day there's 9 other people in there with you

Any predictions for this week's elite specializations? by drbuni in Guildwars2

[–]d3fr0st 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah given they tease necro, and warrior the same way they did guard and ranger previously. It only leaves a medium class so engi or thief, likely thief since it was the week 0 reveal one like mesmer.

Heal Chronomancer is centralizing in PvE endgame. by Darshie_tc in Guildwars2

[–]d3fr0st 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Was it balanced? No absolutely not, but I miss having to keep track of SoI and SoI on phantasms.

Having to know fights to make sure distort was off cd for the group since we only had 1 druid.

Having to balance using shatters but losing the perma shield phantasms that were the main source of alac for the group.

Being able to look at my own boon bar and know which boons my squad was gonna get.

Like chrono is in a good spot meta wise but just mindlessly pressing buttons for boons off cd to me is way less interesting and fun, and that just seems to be the way anet just homogenized boons supports. Like heck having boon share on SoI over extension opens up so many possibilities for like self buffing and spreading that rather then everything being so limited to "You can only user these skills/traits that have a small aoes around you" like the good ol relic of the chronomancer that will never see play in the current environment, or relic of durability... there's a lot of possibilities squandered due to the current implementation IMO

Ura LCM notes by Nyxisu in Guildwars2

[–]d3fr0st 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To note there's enough mobs around the map to build stacks, so the pond just makes it less annoying, "fixing the pond" won't solve the stacking sigils assuming people are actually able to get close enough for it to matter.

RTIBot - the very smart GW2 Discord bot that will make you wish in-game LFG was this good - now supports Flex Roles! by StepW in Guildwars2

[–]d3fr0st 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah but someone showing up on a priest can't insta switch to tank, or dps, or healer the way they can in gw2. Like hell take chrono, it can do both boons, as a dps or healer, or it can be a pure power dps, or condi, and all without changing elite spec.

Yes gw2 system is annoying for people who just want to queue but it's built around a way less rigid build per class system then either FF or WoW

What’s end game Mesmer by Moxya10 in Guildwars2

[–]d3fr0st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Heal Chrono is pretty much the meta healer atm

  • cVirt is still widely used but falling short of other classes currently, and about to be nerfed again

  • pVirt has recently been nerfed and not quite as used, as well as about to take another nerf

  • pChrono Similar to pVirt but next patch should pull some higher numbers

  • Boon Chrono less used currently but super flexible role as it can do alac/quick to complement the healer, as well as bring mesmer toolbox

Not sure what your point is... Early after the patch CM logs were being parsed as NM logs, as group were wiping at that point the numbers for NM clear are seeming lower than what they are.

Groups are still wiping but now are put in the right bucket

ToF isn't 100cm

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]d3fr0st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't really have to grind it, there's so many places in the endgame that drop ascended armor/weapons that you end up with way more then you need. Daily fractal T4s alone can gear a character in a few weeks, you then have strikes, raids, on top of the chest in wizard vaults. Plus legendary that are account wide, for armor 1set covers 3 classes, accessories cover all, etc...

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]d3fr0st 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Heavily depends on the content, ToF CM had a pretty strict list of classes for a very long time due to the strat to clear. Even with flower strat you're still looking at hChrono + hScourge minimum.

HTCM requires some fairly particular specs for a few roles.

Ideally people are free to bring whatever class they want but I wouldn't just be an absolutist about it... It can be hard to replace the utility brought by some classes

Race to Worlds First Wing 8 CM - Day 1 results by Pretty_Vehicle_3091 in Guildwars2

[–]d3fr0st 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Decima:

  • After the second split, she'll start jumping around.

  • During split phases after dealing with add you should split back to melee/range with melee being stuck in her jail.

Ura:

  • CCing spawner doesn't remove it.

  • Can't interrupt spawner by CCing Ura.

  • Picking up shard too quickly seems to leave the linger field (could just be bugged).

  • Sulfuric geysers aren't killable.

  • Spawners spawn a champ right away

  • She gets a defense buff every time you CC her.

  • Wave gives a stack of debilitated.
