In Topic: EA Get Named "Worst Company In America" Again

10 April 2013 - 04:47 PM

*sigh*, I really don't want to live on this internet anymore...

Regarding the Monsanto discussion, from the top of my head I remember having read that they have been found to fake their own product's test results to gain certification in countries when they knew those didn't have the equipment/know-how to test them, they are actively pressuring goverment officials to act on their behalf and are generally known for business practices that are simply amoral, if legal, because they have the armadas of lawyers to back them up. (which admittedly, is nothing special in this league of course)

This is most likely only the tip of the iceberg, because companies like that are generally very good at covering up what goes wrong...

I just stumbled across something weird on the official forums. Someone actually advocates full carrion gear over berserker's for solo farming. The berserker's still performs better, but the margin is surprisingly close.

The calculations do seem reasonably close, but I can't wrap my head around it, because that goes totally against my personal impression.

Personally, I liked it how it was. Warrior/Mesmer cof farming was usually faster then doing those bosses anyway, and the apparent hordes of people doing world bosses kept ecto prices low.
I don't care that much though because I made a killing yesterday, when ecto spiked to 34s while rares in the ah hadn't adjusted yet. =)

Mesmers stack bleeding really well if traited in the dueling trait line. A phantasms like iduelist can easily stack multiple stacks, and with 3 the 25 cap can be attained. Underwater, staff autoattack also stacks bleed.easily.

Stacking bleeds with duelists is not what I'd call "easy", and getting to 25 is not very realistic if your enemy is not a training golem. It would take you about ~40 seconds to stack up three duelists, provided nothing ever attacked them, you wouldn't be doing much yourself while waiting for the cooldown and you would be blocking your shatters for the entire time.
If anything, I'd do it with gs clones. They do almost the same bleed damage, they are expendable for shatters, and you can instantly summon 3 at them at the start of an encounter. In fact, if they ever let condition duration transfer to clones, I could actually see a potentially great new mesmer archetype emerging.

Personally, I'd never want to go without at least 10 points in virtues. Master of consecrations is awesome for so many situations, especially in fractals, and it can be swapped for one of the best (albeit situational) %dmg increases, unscathed contender, for when it's not.
