Quote from Red Fireball

as well as water staff (metal) to the discussion.

here's water staff (metal), the trail area is about the same as deldrimor staff in the gif above

just dropped my first purple max focus, pretty exciting

any collectors please message me, this is free

sorry just realized I misread the problem (you couldn't see notifications from other threads)

I do see notifications from other threads too

Hi, I just logged on and can still see a new notification from that thread.

Quote from Red Fireball

the big one on your gif is embercrest, right Bluey ?

Yes, Embercrest has quite a big swing area.
Goldtouched also has a big one. PVP Arcane has no swing area. (shown below are mid-swing shots)
(I don't have a water staff metal right now to test)

Fun thing: If you cancel an attack and walk around, the trail will follow you a bit. And if you teleport during that time, the trail will go all the way to your new location! (it goes in a straight line, even through walls)

I found that different staves have different "head zones". Some don't even have head zones at all, as they don't show the swinging trail (e.g. Dragon's Envy, Jeweled twin serpent, Ghostly, Platinum). The projectile trails are all the same.

The faint white trail an unmodded weapon makes can be used to preview how it looks when modded.

The longest staves (that I have):
Chrysocola > Balthazar > Cobalt > Bone Dragon
This is an overlaying image showing their tips:

I may have missed some of them, but I think Chrysocola is probably the longest. It is about 2.1 times the length of the Outcast Staff! The following are images taken while not moving the camera (so the sizes are comparable), and arranged by width, which is roughly proportional to the staff length.

Sorry this turned into a bit of a long post. Thanks for reading.

Quote from Bananabol

do you have access to all styles across all the campaigns?

You can preview the choices from Anatomical Engineer Llye in Great Temple of Balthazar, even if you haven't bought any makeover packs.

You will have access to all faces / hairs / skin color across all campaigns. For example here is an ele with NF hair and Proph face.

You cannot use faces / hairs from other professions.

If the profession is campaign specific (Rt, A, D, P), your choices will be limited to that campaign. (so exactly the same as in character creation)

love irids, probably my favorite shield skin

Labyrinthine Spire comes to mind, make it drop in NF desolation area

also adding to the wish list:
please make Tormented and Eternal weapons dyable (like chaos axe)

I really appreciate the moderators keeping the forum running and working on the rules.

The 5-post limit has run for some time now. I've seen new accounts revive age-old threads with bland or irrelevant comments, or ask questions that can be easily found on the forum or wiki. I think the rule has watered down the quality of the forum. Now whenever I see a new post, I have to distinguish if the person was genuinely asking questions / making comments, or just trying to fulfil the 5-posts limit, in which case I would ignore him.

For example, on my dead 5-year-old thread (here), some guy asked a question I already answered in the original post. It's obvious he was posting for the limit. And this is happening everywhere. Might as well give these posts a red tag saying "posting for the limit, can ignore". I think the rule is not stopping people from posting bids, but forcing people to post spams.

My suggestion: Remove the 5-post limit. Or make it a 1-post limit in the Introductions Thread. In my opinion it makes more sense. If a new guys wants to trade, let him introduce himself a bit instead of forcing him to spam 5 times. At least that confines the spam and doesn't affect the rest of the forum.

Again, I really appreciate the moderators. Thank you for all the efforts.

retract

casual chest drop during ZB

That is the area of the removed Team Arena, a teamed 4v4 PVP outpost. You can't go there now, so the area can't be explored.

NM from Scarab Nest Builder

Thanks! That's a lvl 22 from Prophecies!

The Jade Scarabs nearby are lvl 20. Do I smell q8 here?

Quote from HeavensDevil

Because I read the suggestion: Ele has almost the same dps and burst as mesmer as player. Sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less. But playing either build on the opposite profession is always a big downgrade.
Ele has 3 key boosts given to him he needs to take advantage of:
1. higher attribute ranks - ele should alays have 19-20 attribute rank compared to Mesmer's 16
2. Intensity ~ double dmg every 8-10s
3. Ebsoh and/or cracked armor - depending on whether AoEoT or burst build.

I realized what I said might have made ele players feel a bit insulted. That wasn't my intention and I'm sorry. I'm very biased because I haven't played caster classes a lot. From what you said I'd definitely love to try more ele

Also just for the mods:
MM Nec benefits from Spawning Power
(+20% health to all minions)

I'm also trying this:

[Build=OgcSc5MTvlXGLGOGqG5i1gLi]

Critical Agility still drops really easily. My solution was bringing a para hero with Go for the Eyes. Can't think of anything else. At least we both benefit from Splinter Weapon from another hero.

*Edit: when I get a Strength bow I'm gonna try this:

[Build=OgESc5MTvlLGOGqGxg8V5iYF]

6-second Flail seems cool. Flurry is a cancel stance, and also useful at the start of a fight. Reminds me of the good old days when we used to see rangers with Flail in PVP before it was nerfed.

[Build=OQejgymTHTOMMMHMWY9YAhn11g]

(attributes: 12+3+1 Leadership, 12 Dagger Mastery, 3 Command)
(the blank spot is Heroic Refrain)

It's not all-new, just a modification of HR dagger build using the Critical Strikes mod.

Go for the Eyes can upkeep Critical Agility while giving tons of energy. You can switch There's Nothing to Fear for Asuran Scan to counter blindness.

I've tested Critical Agility with other melee builds, but upkeep is a problem due to the critical hit chance still being quite low. To solve that I've tried Malicious Strike, Wild Blow, and Way of the Master, but I don't have a solid build to share yet.

[Build=OQZCgMwEOYYT5w3AuIpQ4gLI]

(attributes: 12+ Fast Casting, 12 Lightning Mastery)

Here's a "lightning-fast" mesmer build I played around with. Elemental Attunement lasts 37 seconds with the Energy Storage mod. After testing I'd say the damage is "not too wild". Makes me go, "Ooh.. so that's why the damage meta belongs to mesmers and not eles" Sorry eles. Maybe I just didn't like upkeeping the enchantments. You can actually try this build without the ES mod and still upkeep the elite.

Quote from Skovo

updated some of my chars with the hood

Love the ranger with the dual-colored staff! I like the blue-ish chaos gloves better than the red version. Maybe consider red-silver-purple dye for the hood to match the body. Oh and the chaos gloves matching the eternal and celestial weapons are both great! Top-notch fashion!

I'm using this Spider on my paragon, didn't drop it though

I've also seen WTS of insc Bronze and Hog's (leadership) in Kamadan chat

But I've never seen any insc Ominous Aegis (of any attribute) and am very curious if they exist

bump

will probably sell to any offer

dropped this today, pretty happy

A few additions I've collected these few years.

Since I don't collect duplicates, it has become challenging to move on.

raben Thanks! Just added, sorry must have missed.

I also see a Wolf's Greed drop, nice!

Neutral_CH Now that you've mentioned it, I don't think I've seen an insc Ominous yet

the sword always had some wierd behavior

you can run around in town with it (as your character)

In-Town Fiery Dragon Sword !?

Here's me running around in Kamadan with a Fiery Dragon Sword.



And yes, everyone else can see it! (it's not just a client-side glitch)

I discovered this a few days ago, and I'm going to tell you how I did it.

Just in case someone wanted to take guesses, I hid the methods in the following:

Hello bsoltan, sorry I'd like to ask if it's possible to include the 10 PVE elite skills in the code displayer. Would love to maybe share some builds with them in the future.

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate you and all the other moderators keeping this forum running really smoothly.

Mr. Clean(-Value) or Blind Was My Fury might outbid me, if so it's ok
