Hmmm. I could continously heal max damage at the training golem. As a Harrier Rifle Chrono. Though it was stressful and pretty close sometimes. Heal Mantra not for mantra heal but for clone generation was a twist I did not expect. Pretty clone starved.

Aura trait is useless without staff and there are no alternatives. Does Anet really expect us to swap back and forth? Nonsense, I’m not going to lock myself out of my heal skills for nine seconds.

Boons were fine. Regen, prot, alac or quick. All permanently up.

Got the rezz trait up as well. Might as well take Feedback since utilities are kind of free. Soooo…Feedback, MI, Aegis-well whatever it’s called?

Mirage Ambush AoE heals, but offers neither alac nor quick. Sooooo…staff/rifle?

Portal has a 1,2k range. Porn. But only one charge. Still porn.

I’d assume that Chrono jail will still be real with potentially Mirage as an option and Virt for memes.^

Edit: well fuck me up the arse. Staff Memestrel works just fine, no rifle needed. Gonna test it on Affliction 100.

Edit2: Staff/Rifle Memestrel is going to be an absolute fucking monster. Can’t be arsed to live without uber rezz? Fuck Mantras, camp rifle.

Funnily enough I do actually visit it every once in a blue moon. It’s filled to the brim with lore and ambience, and it’s nice to hang out and take a stroll while waiting for something, for example. I have several such spots.

Forged with Fire is a 5min meta that pops every hour and has an easily completed heart attached to it.

Ahhh, I see. Yeah, a bit more creative would’ve been nice, I agree.

Ironically both weapons have their places in melee. :D Longbow 2+5 are being used in Ranger rotations IIRC and not only does Mirage GS Pewpew not care about range, several builds don’t mind the damage reduction because you cast everything besides the auto attack, including ultimates, before switching back to sword or dagger.

But I get what you went for!

Everything is a melee weapon when you’re in melee.

More self-harm! Healers are already thrilled for the 5k health Necro with 25 stacks of Bight and 50 stacks of Kryptis Essence Effect popping Signet of Undeath.

Skleton crew and shoestring budget. I’m reconsidering their block change by the minute. Maybe it actually was unintentional, but at that pace it’s just going to be kept as a feature. Until they “fix” it ten years later like they did with Temporal Curtain.

Yeah I would’ve noticed. I think I knew what was going on. If a super fresh map spawns right before the meta starts, the meta…doesn’t start. I’ve talked a bit with my current Archipelago squad and that behaviour has been confirmed. So, yeah, make of that what you will. Has a right feel to me.
