I do this. ^

But then I realize it and I go to switch to my main weaps, and I accently switch to another kits. =_=;; so then I go to switch to my main weapon and a switch back to the other kit. =_=##

[shuttlewrth]

I know that feeling Fraani, those kits sometimes ugh.  But I love my engi and ele and can't wait to try the revenant.

We will have to try to make a decent build nessa, she's willing to let go of minions but she doesn't know when to use utilities which is why minions are her go to.

To be fair, it's even worse on ele. Those attunements, man.

I think that'll come in time. When I first started playing, I'd usually forget I even had anything on the right half of the skill bar because I was so busy getting the hang of the weapon skills. Once those settled into place, though, I was able to work the utils in.

[shuttlewrth]

Yeah....She's been playing as long as me (since a couple months after launch) but I'm still waiting for her to do that....

I drop my wells where I stand, no one in there sane mind wants to run through them except the blinky thiefs that will dps me to 1/2.

[Sanji]

"Blinky"

I dunno. I find a lot of people will continue to attack even if you surround yourself with a pulsating circle of death.

[UltraEM]

Yeah, I've been meaning to ask about good Necro well placement. I usually plop them where the enemy zerg is most concentrated, which makes them dodge or run out to escape, usually spreading out in the process, but doesn't really maximize the potential damage. I'm thinking maybe I should put down my wells right after a push, on top of newly-downed opponents to prevent them from rezzing, as well as catching anyone dumb enough to revive them.

[nessarena]

Wells I drop at my feet, marks I try to drop on my team mates feet who has the lowest heath if I can reach in time.

[shuttlewrth]

And they say necros have no group support, sounds like your supporting people all over the place nessa

[Silvernis]

Necros can definitely bring great support—AOE regen, condi clear, boon stripping, and some quite lovely blinds. (Plague Form 2 is hilarious; it's not as visually obvious as the lich or golem, and a lot of melee enemies will blow their CDs futilely trying to attack your group while you sit in the middle spamming blind.)

[shuttlewrth]

I think in pvp necro is really strong but for dungeons they don't bring much group stuff like blast finishers that pve needs.

[Sanji]

No but for example on well has blind, another stability for grp...that is always good for stacks.

[shuttlewrth]

True, but still no blast or fire field and wells mess with fire if used at the wrong times.  Nothing like blasting aoe weakness instead of 9 stacks of might

[Silvernis]

Well, I'll take care of the fire blasting and Nessa can bring the power necro pain.

[shuttlewrth]

So what have I missed the last couple days?  Weekends aren't good for me with playing because of work.  HoD still blobbing about? How's CD been?

Quick ps edit:  I'll be doing some spvp tonight for my next video since I haven't put one of those out in over a week.  If anyone wants to be a YouTube super star to like 100 people(on average for my videos so far of that type) hit me up when I get on and we can Q up together

[Silvernis]

More or less business as usual in WvW (so yes, plenty of blobbing). Nessa and I did run into a tricksy all-melee ranger while flipping SE camp, which was a good change of pace. He wasn't much threat since we had the numbers advantage for once, but he did make us work for the stomp.

I dunno about sPvP. It's usually way too messy and lopsided for me.

[shuttlewrth]

Yeah, it takes forever to get good footage in there because of the lopsided match making.  I did pull out a good fight from a match we lost like 100-500 but that's pretty rare.  All like 3 of my subs are from that type of video though so I gotta deliver besides thats all I was really was doing before joining with you all so I'm used to the crappy matchs :/ I'll have to double check but I might have enough recorded for a video already.  But I like to have more then I need to make a video from.

Do any of you watch montage type videos.  If you do, do you like long ones like ten minutes or shorter like 3 or 4 minutes.

[Silvernis]

Not really, or at least not often.

[shuttlewrth]

Turns out I had enough to make a decent video from. Could have gotten some more tonight but there's always that chance I don't get anything and waste all that time when I could have put out a video with what I had *shrugs*.

That means more roaming with you fine people for me tonight who haven't I met yet?  I've played with silvers, sanji, nessa and tatiena.  Is there any other people at my normal playtime that I haven't met yet?
