They did this huge post about how they're going to be more transparent and release patch notes in a timely manner beforehand (1 to 2 weeks) and did it for like 2-3 patches and apparently have the shortest memories of their own promises ever seen.

I just want power tempest to not suck. Sword/Warhorn Air attunement abilities do so much lower damage then the fire abilities even though air is straight power with no condis and SHOULD be the better power element. And overload air does abysmal damage even as full power.

Yeah thats how I've been running it. Marksmanship + Nature magic. With both pet swap traits, pet swapping keeps up fury and might easily. To be fair I guess you don't really need either storm spirit or stone spirit for fury or protection. But I like the aegis from stone spirit.

I've been using search and rescue as the 3rd utility slot to make ressing just that much better. If only one person goes down I use search and rescue, if a bunch go down I use the elite spirit. Seems to work great. Stone spirit + sun spirit and healing spring trap. I wish there was an option for a good main hand healing weapon to pair better with warhorn but unless main hand mace is randomly a healing weapon I'm just gonna stick to staff/staff. Its working very well so far.

The more I play it the more I really like it. More than druid at this point.

I'm not a theory crafter so I won't get into much detail but I've been messing around with staff/staff quickheal untamed. Bascially build it just like druid (stats, item upgrades, monk relic) with all the buffs on pet swap using Marksmanship/Nature magic lines and spirit usage. Weapon swap and on CD and use one untamed power swap ambush before every weapon swap for 2x staff ambush per swap. I don't know how "meta" it is or isn't but it seems to heal and support perfectly fine in t4 fractals and raids so far. Basically a quickheal option for rangers. Someone better than I can give a more in depth discussion about why it will or won't work in the end. Edit: the staff ambush seems to do most of the heavy lifting. Roughly 4k heal per ambush with being able to do back to back ambushes on weapon swap for roughly 8k healing every 10s or so on top of all the other buffs/heals going out.

OK I read it, sounds like your druid blows his CA when the group is spread and then doesn't have it up when they're stacked, ie skill issue. Or the group is just bad at stacking in general, also skill issue. Its extremely easy to overcap on alac now with heal druid.

You're not supposed to spam 1. CA 4 and 5 both pulse alac for a much higher value than spamming 1 could ever accomplish. There isn't a single proficient heal druid that has had problems upkeeping alac since they buffed it last time. This has to be for dps druid or someone just plain doing it wrong.

The people linking to the third party app policy are hilarious. The sheer amount of mental gymnastics you have to do to pretend like a huge portion of the gw2 population hasn't used arcdps for literal YEARS without issue and trying to pretend that arenanet just hasn't noticed yet and are going to figure it out suddenly ANY second now and ban everyone is hilarious.

Where are you all seeing new weapons for classes other than elite spec weapons being unrestrained? Did I miss something in these announcements today? Edit: Nvm I see it now.

Is the Oni Boss supposed to be the big bad that drove the quaggan and the krait from the ocean? I know there was all this mystery surrounding what it was that was driving the creatures out of the depths once it was discovered that it WASN'T the deep sea dragon (Soo Won). Then there were NPCs in New Kaineng that alluded to what the big bad could be since it couldn't have been Soo Won. Then the first part of the new story was labeled "What lies beneath" which made some people believe it was going to explore what that big bad was. But now since that story has wrapped up and it was just some demon feeding off negative emotion, it feels like that CAN'T POSSIBLY be what the big bad was that was almost as powerful as an elder dragon driving all the races out from the deep sea? At least god I hope not. Very anti climactic if it was.

So much for this buff. Seems like it was removed.

If you think emojiis are life threatening, wait until you meet another actual human being who has their own opinions and thoughts!

I was having the same issue, I uninstalled my addsons (I only use two, arcdps and mountwheel) and restarted my computer and it worked fine after.

possibly losing weapon swap and gaining the ability to go in and out of tombs like engineer kits?
