Actually, that is easy on thiefs too. They also have it easier to keep up their entire stack on multiple enemies, where necromancer falls short. Granted, they can epidemic every once in a while, but since more of their condition builders are single target, they won't sustain as well. Also, BiP is nice, but the 10 stacks of might will be there only for ~50% of the time, so it comes down to 5 sustained stacks which is not all that much...

Actually, all of the necromancer's weapon skill applicators of bleeding apart from scepter 1 are aoe. Also, I wouldn't consider epidemic some bonus you get to perform every once in a while, seeing as the cooldown is only 15(12) seconds. Other than that, consider that you can use epidemic to effectively double the effect of aoe conditions on all targets except your epidemic victim (on all enemies that are hit with the aoe skills and are within 600 units of the epidemic target).

Like Vysander said: the 1 recipe is more consistent. The reason for this is normal probability; more total samples are going to yield a result closer to the average (33%, again what Vysander said). The 10 recipe is more of a wild card in that RNG is more likely to either bless you or screw you over (the 1 recipe is also subject to RNG of course but, again, you're going to have more samples). Use the 1 recipe if you want to play it safe, and the 10 recipe if you want to gamble.

In Topic: Legendary Armor coming? (link inside)

I haven't seen the armor on a sylvari before, but I'm fairly certain Ravrohan is right in that those are the armors bought for Badges of Honor. Also, Mist X (where X depends of the armor type) are the names for the WvW armors in the pvp locker. In short: these are, thankfully, not the skins of legendary armor.

Edit: It appears I was wrong in what these armors are called in the pvp locker, as it's just true for the medium armor.

In Topic: Bowyer's Delight (Quiver) Recipe

I figured I'd ask this here, since there has been some talk about the infusions:

Is there a difference between offensive and defensive infusion slots other than which kind of infusion fits in which slot? That's the way I've understood things, but the fact that the upgrade slots are named 'offensive' and 'defensive' makes it seem like there is some in-combat difference as well.

Edit: Never mind, I found the information elsewhere (http://www.reddit.co..._make_them_and/ , for those who might have the same question).

I had literally only played PvP in this game for about an hour, and was having fun, until I had some person ruin it for me by calling me a moron. Then I had another one get after me for "spamming heartseeker".

I think people need to realize there are folks from all walks of life that play this. I'm not uber and most likely never will be, but I'd like to play this to have fun (which I thought the ultimate purpose of the game is).

It's hard to have fun and is uninviting when people start hurling insults at you, or calling you "kid" when they have no idea who you are or why you are playing.

Yeah, it's a big shame some people can't play a game without being a douche for some reason or another. Whether you stay silent or try to explain your mindset in the midst of the match, I'd like to think most people are mature enough to realize who in the chat is the kid and who is not ;-).

What is a glass cannon?

A glass cannon build is one that is focused solely on dealing out huge amounts of damage, and is very fragile as a result. By extension, a glass cannon is a player using such a build.
