Yeah, my problem with that is that, by the same logic, a lava font would get 10 extra ticks of damage on a group of foes, at 2 per target. lowballing at 2500 per tick, 4 might vs 25k dmg, well... eh. Then there's also other stuff like how with persisting fields, you dont get lava font downtime while casting meteor or dropping ib4+3.
from the reddits
can you be this grossly incandescent, kos?

depending on your location and time Juggernaut can be fucking ugly.

wait, how would ib4 create Might, it doesn't have blast finisher?
I was confused by that too, maybe Sigil of Strength?

Any spell you cast while attuned to fire procs pyro puissance. This includes utility skills.

The Silverwastes sounds like a completely new (non-GW-inspired) area! Want!
Seems like a number of new armor and weapon things to go after? I of course want the infinite Dust Mite tonic.
Buffs for everybody! I like these

Oh joy.
Does the bolded mean that nodes can be stolen now?
Carapace armor. Pretty baller for heavy female.
Hmm, Sinister. Condi Power Prec. Could very well impact the meta.

Now I want to see this backpack in action
I'm sure that trait is better for stack and spank PvE. But this trait provides easy offense without having to carry arcane wave or brilliance. Also I like to keep my build versatile for sPvP and WvW as well, where enemies move.
Moreover I think you shouldn't discount the quadruple might proc on conjure: 3 from sigil of battle proc, 1 from the act of conjuring.

I didn't factor arcane wave or brilliance into that, otherwise i'd have upped the damage to 3.5k per tick
But hey, sure, for pvp you're probably right. Ain't messing with WvW until they add profile presets tho >___>
Damn I made sure to buy 3 extra cobs last night to get one more pail.
yeah it was a super early one today.
i assume update went so slow, im still to log in. last time update for LS was so slow was when there were changes in the environment.

They did the raffle yet? anyone in Gaf win a Halloween skin?
Not yet.
On the bright side, there's no subscription fee. ^_^
On the even brighter side I'm downloading the patch at 30kb/s on my capped internet. Listening to TSwift in the background makes it seem faster though ^_^

Key word: be killable.
You can't fight back.
Basically, you pay 2g to git ganked.
Dat masterclass design.

Patch dropped! I am excite!!>!>!
They don't call her Swift for nothing!
Just finished running this episode with Kos, Lump, Jira and Peck. No story spoilers.
- Easily the best storyline of any Living Story update. This goes place we've wanted to go for a long time, tells things we've wanted to know. Really top notch.
- Really good fight mechanics in the last chapter. We genuinely had to figure out what was going on and then execute it.
- Silverwaste is insane, like PvE: World vs. World edition. Escorting supplies, fortifying towers. It feels like a real war effort with an enemy that refuses to yield. I hope I'm right in that the Pact base will be upgraded continually over the next episodes until it's a proper fortress... we'll see.
- Rewards are top notch. Gem store stuff is neat, optional stuff, in-game armor sets are impressive. Everyone but the pickiest Redditor has something to love here.
There's more going on there than it seems. There's a Tarnished Chest up on the ledge that requires a Tarnished Key, and there's a trap mechanism you can use somehow (though it unflags you for PVP). I think the Tarnished Key might drop from PVP somehow, it'll need to be dug into a bit more, but it's such a small, isolated area I can't see it impacting people too negatively.

where the hell what the fuck should i do next!?!?!?!
im completely confused, i like this feel in this situation.
at least, that's what people say, mhm.
dat retro hype, GIMME END OF DAY NAO
HUGE lore bomb dropped in this patch.
Haven't been this excited about the future of the franchise in a long, long time.

Names of areas we have never seen before, further confirming that arenanet is sticking to the map that is on the OoW globe.
Also trade routes! We thought that the battle isles were destroyed, but this map seems to suggest they have not been, especially since this map shows new damage to Kaineng City that the first one doesn't show.

Soooo does it progress stuff at a faster and more interesting pace than we're used to? Because every Living Story episode so far plays out like an episode from the first season of Lost. Lotta hype, moving at snail's pace.
Oh no. Shit goes down here. Questions answered, one section is a lore junkie's dream (SO MANY BOOKS TO READ) another is a GW1 junkie's nostalgia trip but kicked up to GW2 quality.
The fact that you get the whole (or at least, a very large section) of Silverwaste makes it feel great. I didn't mind Dry Top's gating because every section was so dense with content, but having a huge swath of map with all sorts of crazy things going on all at once is fantastic. So many little places to explore, things to find... I'm not there yet (still processing) but this is probably the best Living Story update we've gotten.
