Oooooooo a new bow for the collection!

The focus looks like it has some serious clipping potential...

On the cartography question: if you haven't uncovered that area, it would be a surprise. Very little, if anything, would be uncovered that wasnt in uncovering LA, North Kryta Province and Gates of Kryta

On the Fast Casting: suck it up. The Expertise bonus for Rangers only affects ranger skills (less energy to use a skill)

On the Mantle Weapons: in the word of Vekk: Interesting...

More than for the weapons, I'm happy for the other items. Quest items and rewards mean there's gonna be quests so yay!

Erm...expertise also affect all touch skills, ritual skills, and attack skills of ALL professions. Ever heard of touch rangers and the much hated escape scythe "Sway" rangers? (which caused escape to be nerfed, btw).

Actually, second check I am wrong, but it doesnt affect attack skills, only ritual and touch skills.

In regards to the FC thing...

There's a very easy way they could make it work. Have PvE only versions of the Mantras that make FC apply to things.

So Mantra of Flame has "resist fire, gain energy, blah blah blah, and your Fast Casting attribute applies to Fire Magic Skills". Same for Earth, Frost, Lightning, etc, etc.

Why on earth would you use elementalist skills in general PvE?

Seriously it's .3 seconds longer on 1s spells. It's not significantly slowing down your output, and the few interrupts in PvE can reflex your quarter casts anyway. In return most mesmer skills become godly.

Is "for the lulz" an acceptable response?

Talk to the Lion's Arch Keep Gate Guard. If he wont let you in, you need to go through all the SBC dialogue, Zinn's Trial (needed for SBC dialogue continuation), Thackarey's dialogue/scavenger hunt and seen the meeting between Evinnia and the Vanguard just outside EotN

Woah, this true? Anet is actually making playable content. Been so long.

Chronos the Defiler · May 16, 2010, 12:48 AM // 00:48

I just reached the top of the area near Loamhurst in the Divinity Coast explorable, there is a Boss with the name "..." which is an ele boss up there.

Karate Jesus · May 16, 2010, 02:37 AM // 02:37

Zzzz

Still no skill update or content? I'll check back into GW when something happens?

A11Eur0 · May 16, 2010, 03:17 AM // 03:17

This is content, genius. Just because you can't get "rich" from it doesn't mean it's not worth having.

Excuse me, Captain Literal. I meant there's no playable content, yet.

It's still not what we've been told we'd get for 3 months. And the skill update is late.....
