Anet is getting ready to release halloween event content. No word on expansions, it's pretty early for that.

That, plus they hinted at one other event this month as well other than the Halloween event. I doubt we'll get full blown retail expansion news for awhile.
That's it, thanks! The dye was throwing me off, and I thought her skin was part of the armor.
Where can you get it in PvE?

Best part of the update for me.
Freakin bots everywhere,I hope they kicked a few out hehe...got stuck on the loading screen after the patch,I hope I am not rolled back a bit because I just finished my level 55 Story instance and,like most of them,it was a pain solo...
I don't understand the Chaos Storm nerf. It's our only AOE attack. Making the phantasms recharge even slower is baffling since they get one shotted half the time. Makes shattering them even less viable than before.
In terms of PVE this is a significant nerf on an already week PvE class.

The Guardian GS nerf, fuck off Anet.

Warrior left completely alone, again, I see...
So are they reworking retaliation to last a set number of hits instead of a fixed time or how does it work now? Is it only the cooldown change/place swap?
Edit: v I agree with the rant. They have done nothing but fuck with Guardian since the beginning. It is a popular class for sure, but hardly OP. Meh, I don't even play regularly anymore so w/e.

In celebration of the Guardian changes for this thread:
"Submit Reply" button is now "Ignore"
"Preview Post" button is now "Next"
And many other fascinating changes!
I'm fucking pissed. I've been playing a GS Guard for over 50 hours and they change the fucking hotkey arrangement?
For those that played GW1 is this shit normal? Do they fuck with the classes this much because this is barely a month and a half in and they change the keys?!
Sorry, kind of ranting, but this is stupid as shit. What happens in 5 months when they decide to fuck with the skills again? Another rearrangement?
EDIT: I don't even give a shit about our nerf that cuts damage and ret, I'll adjust ... but skill rearrangement in a game that doesn't let you set your own? It's almost like they are just trolling the class at this point.

As I recall it, they have a tendency of completely fucking over anything that is "particularly good" until it is bad. They couldn't change hotkey arrangements in GW1 because of the way the game worked (you placed skills on your bar in whatever arrangement you wanted).

That blows. Honestly, I don't mind nerfs as 'their vision' is whatever they want it to be, I know they won't completely gut a class (hopefully) because that's just bad business. Every person playing said class is a potential paying customer and they want to keep them.
I honestly can't fathom why they would rearrange keys, it blows my mind. It's like playing Borderlands 2 and they switched jump with shoot.

I have been a GS Guardian since I started playing, over 300 hours, even got a Cultural Tier 3 weapon and Transmuted it....sheeeeesh Warriors remain over powered beast yet my class has seen 3 changes/nerf since released...........
Yea, not too happy with the mesmer changes since i was planning and playing a chaos storm shatter build. Guess they nerfed it for spvp or something because apparently phantasms were better for pve anyways...
Maybe i should check out the cepter/pistol and GS combo now... I guess i can always not hit that stupid block on the scepter
well, I might just go back to GS/Staff. Kinda found the pistol a bit awkward with the sword since its a melee/range combo
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQJARWl0zKqXVzpGa9ICaGa31RSRrlalZMbXIA
what do all the mesmers think of this build? id go with some defensive stats on my gear to make up for this relatively glass cannony trait set up
Sill though, I think id push out a ton of clones to shatter and while i know 'killed' doesnt mean shatter, i still think the confusing killed thing might be useful since ill just be pumping out so many clones, especially ones that will go right towards the target

They look surprisingly right as casters.
Nope.
I find something really appealing about 2h charrs for some reason.
Fuuu I wish I could get this game already.
Yeah, and they had just lowered Chaos Storm CD not so long ago, didn't they? It certainly wasn't in a super powerful status.
Also, the Phantasm recharge increases hurt the Phantasm traits that are already bugged out to begin with. All these fixes to individual skills while the traits tied to them are still broken amaze me.
For example, iDuelist triggers the regeneration effect from traits more often than any other Phantasm. There is no mechanics reason why this is. It's just a broken part of the Phantasmal Healing trait. If you're providing group support, it makes the Duelist #1. Increasing the recharge would have been fine if the other Phantasms properly applied regeneration. Instead, there's less access to the one Phantasm that makes the trait function reliably.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Ended up just ditching the GS and going with a hammer. After 52 levels. :|
I know it probably seems petty, but I cannot for the life of me fathom the hotkey change. Seriously unnerving, as it alludes to the possibility that they're making changes to satisfy their own idiosyncratic desires rather than those of the playerbase.
Mountain, mole hill, etc. etc.
They rearranged the greatsword skills for conformity (two-handed skillsets are arranged in order of ascending cooldown times). But that was a decision made with massive blinders on, because people who aren't just picking the class up today won't care, and have the muscle memory for their skill rotations down as intended.
They should have just lived with the aberration in conformity and left the skills the way they were assigned despite the cooldown changes. A truly dumb move and I wouldn't be particularly surprised if they just switched it back; then again the longer they wait the more people will get used to it, which would then make switching back equally dumb.

Exactly. Before balancing, they should be fixing all the skills and traits.

They are nerfing classes yet the game needs so much balancing, Mobs in dungeons needs fixing, I am so happy to be weaker now, my Symbols healed and caused Vulnerability, but now with this crazy cool down, it's time to change my traits....I loved Symbol of Wraith, I think it's time to become a weapon crafter and create some Exotics and do some testing...
I found a rundown on how Phantasmal Healing is working differently for different Phantasms somewhere. I can't find it right now though. =/
Some Phantasms are rarely if ever providing the regeneration buff, while others are keeping the regen up. From my experience, Warden and Duelist provide it the best, but nothing comes close to Duelist. Duelist seems to trigger regeneration every 3-5 secs.

Wiki says:
Though I have no idea how accurate that is. I really wish they would just hammer out the bugs with traits first. It makes no sense to buff/nerf skills without fixing the traits first.

PvE players thank PvP, these nerf wasn't for PvE they were PvP based nerfs lol, GUILDWARS ONE had a skill split system, where they nerf one skill in PvP and not be affected in PvE, how do you go backwards? why wasn't that system implemented in GW2? you totally fuck up PvE based on PvP.......stupid Dev....why release PvE in the first place...
they can't skill split this time because of WvW and besides, end game of GW is basically PvP, I can't imagine doing dungeons forever

I think they forgot about that system lol...whatever, I knew there would be nerfs/changes but seeing my class get hit 3 fucking times in a month is annoying..
