    [ART] Road to Ruin: The Bane

    Posted: 10 Apr 2020 12:46 AM PDT

    [sN] Ensolyss | Post-patch Daily Static Strat(s)

    Posted: 10 Apr 2020 02:06 AM PDT

    Good Day Reddit,

    The recent patch hit Fractal 99 Nightmare CM pretty significantly with the changes to the bosses' exposed duration. We decided to focus on Ensolyss since the change is most significant for this particular fight (MAMA and Siax should be relatively the same since Siax was already stealth changed to a shorter duration before the actual patch and the change to MAMA wasn't that big).

    Pre-patch Ensolyss had an exposed duration that lasted 8s, the recent patch changed it to 5s. Many groups have struggled to achieve kill times that were close to their pre-patch average. We've seen many statics regress to 2min+ kill times, and some statics even consider running a cFB due to the changes. We're here to just shed some light and show that it isn't that bad.

    We tried two different compositions: (1) 2 Soulbeasts, Berserker, Guardian, and Renegade, (2) Weaver, Soulbeast, Berserker, Guardian, and Renegade. The two Soulbeast composition outperforms the Weaver comp easily, both in terms of kill time and ease of execution.

    Individual Class Breakdowns:

    Soulbeast: The difference in gameplay for Soulbeast between the two party compositions is mainly the usage of [One Wolf Pack] . For the 2 Slb comp stacking OWP 4 times at the mistlock allows us to have good uptime in phase 1 while also alleviating some of the cooldown issues it has for this fight and allows us to cast it every phase despite the faster pace (note: running two soulbeasts also allows each to bring Frost Trap for additional damage). For the Weaver comp, you will need to adjust the timing of the OWP cast depending on your group's expected phase times/kill times.

    Weaver: The main reason why people weren't running Weaver without a dedicated source of quickness (e.g. a power quickbrand) was because the change to the duration of [Feel My Wrath] meant that it would drop quickness if a DH/Core Guardian was used since it is unable to run a [Sigil of Celerity] without sacrificing a huge chunk of damage. Our weaver found a workaround for this through a creative use of the conjure, [Lightning Hammer]. By precasting [Lightning Leap] while under the effects of [Moa Stance] you gain an additional 5-6 quickness on top of the quickness from the Guardian's FMW. You also have the option of having more quickness if you cast lightning leap a second time during the burn (but only worth if you have longer phase times). Note: doing this means that you lose 2 casts of [Invoke Lightning], LH skill 4, because you don't share the conjure with the Soulbeast, but you do gain 1 cast on yourself on phase 2.

    Berserker: We tried to run a different setup but the standard setup seemed to perform better so no crazy changes here.

    Guardian: Core Guardian, and Radiance DH have similar DPS but we just decided to run Core for both compositions. You could run either honestly. Likewise here, nothing too crazy, just the Sigil of Celerity on the Scepter/Focus weapon set. The reason why Guardian can run Sigil of Celerity is that it does majority of its damage on Greatsword, so you can simply gain quickness by using Bane Signet on the boss then do your burst on GS. Why scepter over sword: (1) Sword doesn't work with Celerity as you do too much damage on that weaponset to make it worth, and (2) we just think scepter is better for this fight anyway.

    Renegade: Nothing crazy, just Sigil of Celerity on your Staff. For the weaver comp, it seems to be not worth holding your burst on P2 until the boss reaches <50% so you can benefit from your 20% modifier /Swift Termination/ for two reasons: (1) Weaver also has a 20% modifier <50% and delaying your damage means that the Weaver will lose some overlap of exposed and the <50% modifier, (2) the exposed duration change makes it so that sometimes you can't land your burst <50% while the boss is exposed.

    Without further ado, the logs and the PoVs:

    2Slb comp: https://dps.report/BAEr-20200409-144821_enso Theoretical best time with comp: 1min38s

    Slb(Ryan)

    Slb(Prud): No PoV

    Grd(Sneaky)

    Brs(Lucas)

    Ren(Lily)

    Weaver comp: https://dps.report/5yDv-20200407-170745_enso Theoretical best time with comp: 1min41s

    Wea(Ryan) (1:48 PoV)

    Slb(Prud): No PoV

    Grd(Pupsi,Sneaky): Same as 2 Slb

    Brs(Lucas): Same as 2 Slb

    Ren(Lily) (1:46 PoV)

    Feel free to leave any questions if you have any!

    OK ANet, why?

    Posted: 09 Apr 2020 02:19 PM PDT

    I wonder everyday but still can't find the logic behind it, why do we still have to type full names, hell, even the quantity of some specific items we want to delete? This feels so outdated, honestly, a simple "type DELETE" or "type DESTROY" instead of "type 231 Exotic Chocolate Frozen Bananas of Penetration" is so, so much better.

    Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

    PvP feels very frustrating to me right now. Any advice?

    Posted: 10 Apr 2020 07:36 AM PDT

    I am fairly new to pvp and honestly just mostly in it for the sweet rewards and some achievements and right now I am struggling a lot because I keep getting cc'd to death in mere seconds once I get into a battle. I am playing d/p dd and auramancer d/f right now and there are scenarios that I just don't know how to deal with. Mostly what happens is that as thief I try to rotate around the map and cap/decap points as much as possible but often there just are holos or rangers with 10 traps under their feet camping them, just standing there, to which I respond by going to my team to outnumber the enemies. In the big fights there usually are 2 or so core necros just demolishing me and me team by just constantly spamming everything in 10 miles with conditions and cc and it comes down to the choice of me trying to poke them and help out my team, or engaging them. One doesn't even tickle them and the second one means I will be dead within 5 seconds of entering. How do you deal with classes that just have such a high health pool and pressure?

    And that is not even speaking of when you engage an engi or ranger in a 1v1 they will just run circles around you each time you get them below 90% hp and poke you and then come back to obliterate you. So my problem is that my teammates constantly spam me with "just rotate, why don't you cap points", while when I try to there is someone on it that will burst me, run in circles, burst me again, if I follow them (especially the trap rangers I keep seeing), they will just have the time of their life with perma dodge and invisbility.

    I am sure there is a counter to all of this but when I play thief or ele I really don't know how I should deal with them. Especially when I am in a teamfight with ele vs 2 core necros I feel like I don't even stand a chance. Can anyone give me some tips on how to get better?

    (Also for reference I am in low gold right now, if you want to know my current level of play)

    Life Steal (Steal Life) Food Question

    Posted: 10 Apr 2020 06:56 AM PDT

    Hi,

    Thanks for opening my post. I have been doing a ton of research but the information is a bit confusing. I wanted to know if the healing on Life Steal food (Non-Necro skills) is affected by anything to increase it's healing potential.

    For example: Do you heal more from the lifesteal the more Heal Power you have? Do any runes or whatever increase the life steal from food?

    Thanks!

    Posted: 10 Apr 2020 04:30 AM PDT

    Hi all, thanks for taking your time to read this.

    How do you unlock the metal legion shirt quickly? As I'm currently not fully playing the game or have PoF yet. I'm just getting on the game to do fashion.

    I planned to get PoF but would be extremely easy to unlock the shirt without doing much PvE ? Please tell me a quick route. Thank you wonderful community!

    Is there a way to see all armor and weapon skins in the game ? What is the most accessible method you know ?

    Posted: 10 Apr 2020 06:28 AM PDT

    I found some sites with galleries but they don't seem to have literally all the skins in the game or it's arranged in a horrible way which makes it very hard to find skins. I saw some skins in game that I couldn't find in gw2armorgallery and in the wiki I only found weapon skins gallery, not armor skins.

    Web version of in-game LFG

    Posted: 10 Apr 2020 06:04 AM PDT

    Does anyone know of a Web version of in-game LFG listings?

    Use case is for waiting for certain LFG groups to show up (raids, fractals, strikes, etc) without needing to be in game, say seeing it on your phone etc.

    Next expansion in progress: What will there be and what would you like? [Discussion]

    Posted: 10 Apr 2020 02:05 AM PDT

    For now we know nothing and the only thing we can easily hypothesize is that it will be set in cantha.

    But if you had to think about what might await us, what do you expect?

    What features would you like to have and which realistically could they include?

    There will almost certainly be new elite specializations. Which ES would you like to have? Which realistically could they insert?

    Or is it just better stats?
