when recommending mystic forge gambling to people I think it can be helpful to suggest looking at binomials distribution for success probability much more useful in my opinion, since if you gamble 231 times (77 times 3) you still only have a mere 52% of actually getting at least 77 mystic clovers and if we increase our trials we can be more comfortable with knowing how many we need to gamble to have higher chances of actually getting all of them

The build was nerfed but if you swap your Sigil of force with Sigil of Strength and use food that gives might... the build is basically the same. Well... minus quickness. You also need to press the Scavenger Burst to get your Fury and Fury Buffs going but it's a good aoe ranged damage skill and you can have two dashes when you stay on red. Also you can get both jade protocols from wizard tower, they are close to the jade station and you can buy a wizard tower teleport scroll. Also I run half berserker half maru/dragon and I do as much dps as my open world reaper with asc. berserker gear.

Nice video! Altho I think the "New Convergence" on Janthir's Wild won't drop the same reward as the convergence from the wizard tower. My guess is its the system that they brought to Janthir's Wild (the instanced 50 man people. Kinda like DS but bigger). So new enemies, new mechanic, and new rewards.

It would make sense they do away with Essences, and since there's potentially titans instead of Kryptis, the motivations might change too. Although, I would hope they keep the items to open rifts somewhat consolidated.

I mentioned on live Stream that the "Molten tool set" was faster than the "Eldritch Horror set" From testing I found a few things. 1.hardware is a factor-I.e. Molten sickle is faster than Eldritch harvesting on my old Hardware but the opposite is true on my new hardware using the same account. an i7- Gtx 1660 vs i9-RTX 4090 both tests on a stable 1Gbps connection. 2. I stated it was the whole set but it turns out the Molten axe is the same speed as Eldritch horror wood tool If you cancel the animation. 3.I've gathered less per hour from nodes with Eldritch tools due to early animation canceling and missing the last gathering strike. 4. I'm guessing but think the molten is simply better optimized due to it being through so many updates. I hope it helps someone.
@phandrel9 күн бұрын
Oh that is some interesting information, ty for sharing this! I've actually been getting more out of animation cancelling, due to the Item Booster having a chance to proc twice (only procs on the first strike IIRC).

@phandrel9 күн бұрын
I've been wasting a lot of auto-attacks, as I kept forgetting it was melee. The mobility on Spear 4 and 5 did make up for it a little, though. I feel like it could've gone either way, indeed. We already have sword for melee and greatsword for ranged. So I wouldn't have minded this being ranged either.
@pwk506 күн бұрын
Why tho? Mesmers already have ranged power weapon (gs) and the melee one (sword) is used mostly for its defensives and mobility which are more useful in pvp/wvw than in pve, so I feel like a melee/assasin-like weapon was exactly what was missing in its roster.
@Rollingstone19886 күн бұрын
@@pwk50 Because unlike other squishy classes Mesmers have little to no defensive abilities for decent survivability. This will make the Mesmer spear practically non-existent outside of PVP.
