I Tried DPS DRAGONHUNTER in Guild Wars 2 - Thoughts 

Another important thing to note, I guess for people who still don't know or haven't decide which build (between radiance and virtues) to choose: - Virtues will hit a more than radiance build, but the difference is that virtues need aegis uptime for your burst window and radiance need resolution for the burst window. Most people who still learn or pug most of the time will run radiance due to the difficulty to maintain aegis while radiance (imo) still good with or without resolution. - Another difference is the gear, virtues will run mix berserker and mostly assassin stat like Muk did and radiance can run berserker armor and weapon + dragon trinkets or just full berserker gear which is easier to get and full berserker can also be used in some other classes/builds.

DH is not a SINGLE dps, he is a guardian, i cant say in word how much i love the F3, 3 segs... 3 SEGS you are a god

@@HaseoDanette beware, a wall of text below. Virtues DH not having aegis makes it loose only 7% additional dmg, because the other 7% is tied to being above 90% hp, while as radiance DH not having resolution, which you can't have 100% uptime by yourself without loosing a dmg utility spell, you are loosing 25% crit chance, which is bigger loss imo. Also radiance has one dmg boost in Retribution (10% more dmg, which again is tied to having resolution), some ferocity(150) with Radiant Power, F1 reset on kill (This one is good) and resolution on heal skill. Radiance DH is absolutely screwed without this boon. At the same time Virtues, besides Unscathed Contender, has dmg boosts: Inspired Virtue (1% dmg boost for every boon on you,), Inspiring Virtue (10% dmg boost for 6 seconds after using a virtue), and utility: Indomitable Courage (ads AoE stunbreak and Stability to F3, also shorter interval for F3 passive), Power of the Virtuous (15% cooldown reduction for your Virtues). I had been pondering really long if I should change my Berserker gear for Assassin's and I did eventually and it was good decision. But also important note, in my opinion Radiance is by far superior for solo open world, because it's great at generating it's own boons such as Might and Fury, so if you want to have one kit for instanced content and open world Radiance and Berserker gear might be your fit. For purely instanced content Virtues all the way.

isnt that part of their rotation anyway?

They want to be there, though, it's part of their rotation!

since we drop no lava fountain anymore, no

Yes, because Mukluk has just no clue about weaver. Granted, nor does he have a clue about dh. He should stay healer to be honest. Thats what i am taking away so far from this series

@@Eragon-wv5td Uff. Why so hostalie? First of all, in every video muk says that this is not a guide. It is a first impression of a class after playing it for the bare minimum. Of course he can not play weaver or dragonhunter. You need to invest a lot of time into a class before you can play it. And where is he wrong? Can Weaver give group stability? group stunbreak? aegis? No. DH can just do all this with 1 button while being full DPS. It's a simple fact. Of course eles also have a few self utility skills like Armor of Earth and he doesn't know that because he does not put the time into this class to properly learn it. He can learn if he wants to and currently he is mostly playing untamted because there he still has a lot of nice utility and still does a ton of dmg. Also it is correct that other classes do the same damage with less effort

It is implicit in all cases anyways 😅

It's implied in the name. Weaver: Worse than everything. The concept itself is bad and badly implemented. Actually good woulda been (as mighty teapot said) make the Elementalist choose only 2 Elements and empower those 10 skills. Adding on, make synergy with the respective utility.

When I heard a Dev likes to play Elementalist, it reminded me of New World Devs that *like* the combat as it is, so they don't want to change it...and that's why it's the worst action combat of the genre. Like Ele, it's not meant to be fun for everyone, it's meant to appeal to a small group of people.

To be fair , it is the Weaver of Mukluk that is really bad. Even when Weaver is easier than before ( some years ago), he could not understand and keep up with the guide. Not Once, but Twice.

@joshanonline Or just remove all these elements and replace the skill bar with skills from fire GS (of course slightly modifying them to have higher DMG)

Always has been.

Muk did cover a bit of this in the Weaver vid, if they buffed Ele too much, the really good players would be so far ahead of the rest of all the other classes and players, you could easily see LFG just being 'ele's only', which would suck. Muk can't cover every build, but if you do like Ele, I found Tempest to be fairly easy to grasp and do enough dmg etc to be fun.

It also blocks attacks for allies. Dragonhunter F3 is cracked.

Maybe you're placing your traps too early? Some bosses you can't pre-trap and have to place them once you can actually damage them, I've only had that issue on HT when I placed them too early too.

@@WaterYaDune Ah, yeah, could be! I've been switching to soulbeast for HT since I noticed it but next time I'll give it a try.

Oof, in both PvE and WvW the amount of times I've tried to leap of faith and heal only to get downed before landing is insane

That is the "Timers" BlishHUD module by Charr.

I used to get that with GS2 after weaponswapping. The animation would show but 0 dmg.. I haven't noticed it with 3 though, might try that tomrrow!

@@traviscue2099 I'm not sure if 3 causes it. I'm guessing it's lag related. It happens a lot but I'm not 100% how to recreate it. All I know is sometimes the 2 animation and cooldown are triggered but not a single mob gets his sometimes.

@@hardy83 it's possibly latency. I'm rocking around 270ms

I believe it is just called "Timers" in the blish module list.

Thanks muk I will search for it.

That's the effect of legendary greatsword Muk is using, the Exordium.

I'll have a summary video at the end just like I did with the boon dps and healer series. I will say this will be a LOT longer. There are 9 classes, 27 elite specs, 54 builds if you count power vs condi, and even more if you look at weapon types.

@@MuklukRU-vid wow, thank you very much

Oh, probably. I had Exordium equipped.

I played ele at the start and all the consecutive nerfs to the class because of bad coding and players that can leverage it really well (being the statistical aberration they are) have made the base form and all the elite specs VERY unrewarding for new players to pick up.

No they don't. Hammer DH does less damage than the build he played.

The problem with that build is it requires 100% uptime on resolution, which is not a given. DH hammer is better for that reason.

@@mathjoker I know, I just thought it'll be something interesting that Mukluk could look at.

So I learned!

Honestly, anything can beat the Weaver of Mukluk. Try beating a non crippled player.

Future me plays greatsword/spear.

I agree although I appreciate that the bow is at least viable so that RP players can use their Elite Spec weapon if the want to.

I replaced the bow with dual pistols, so much fun!

Hey if you want to have every single button on your bar be a damage key just so you can keep up with the quickness providers while doing 10x the work and having no utility and less CC: That's your call.

@@MuklukRU-vid just because " YOU" could not keep up with the boon dps, doesn't mean weaver is bad, "YOU" are a crippled player, the class isn't for you, that is it.

@@user-tp6mt2rb6x It's an awful spec for any first time play. But even for the experienced player, the 'reward' does not justify the extra work required.

@@Rongez ​ the " reward" that you get, is that "YOU GET GOOD" because you want to not die like a crippled player and you start paying attention to everything around you because almost anything can get you to low HP. If you look around, you will try to avoid reds, if you look around you might learn mechanics. And if you learn to play Ele, you will most likely not die in most encounters. Let me show you this: Conjured Amalgamate Boss// ELE ONLY // (W6 1st Boss) : "ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HYia5uYLrN4.html" -> Log: "dps.report/F4hU-20221203-113021_ca" Compare with this other 2 Logs from random groups picked from wingman: Log 1 from 2022 almost same date like the Elementalis group : "gw2wingman.nevermindcreations.de/log/20221201-202432_ca_kill" Log 2 from May-2024 random group from wingman : "gw2wingman.nevermindcreations.de/log/e3810-20240527-195502_ca_kill" This is not my video, I found this video and this will show you some interesting facts if you analize the data: 1. Ele group is sending 2 Weaver DPS to pick up the Swords/Shields while the other 2 groups Log 1 and 2 send the healers or boon dps . For me the Ele group already won with this point, you are making the damn DPS do mechanics. 2. Boon Uptime: TOTAL Quickness uptime for 3 groups is around the same 94%. But if you look in detail Log 2 - Group 2 is Suffering with an 83% Quickness uptime, I'm not sure , BUUUUUT, wasn't quickness Harbringer easier to play and generate quickness? then Why are they suffering with that quickness uptime if they are not picking sword or shields?. 3. Alacrity uptime: They are about the same in 3 logs, but could be better in the Ele group. 4. UTILITY: You need Stability or Aegis to not get the Arm Slam. Who can provide 1 stack of Stability or Aegis? Call the mesmers, call the revs, call the guardians for Stand your ground, Genius, Heal Tempest can also give you aegis while blasting the might at the start of the fight with Aftershock. 5. Other Boon Uptime: Might Uptime: ELES = > 24.84 stacks over all . Log1 : 23.13 Overall. Log2: 19 Stacks Overall? Was not Heal scourge/ Quickness Harbringer/Scrapper easier to play? and still bring more " UTILITY" to the group? Wow so much utility that they doesn't use or doesn't know how to use. Protection Uptime: ELES => 100%. Log1: 90% uptime. Log2: 91% uptime. Wow you are helping alot guys. Regen Uptime: Almost best with 90% Vs Log2 92% / Log 1 76 %( 76% Total but with a Heal Firebrand giving 53% Uptime for his group, WOW, Heal firebrand so much UTILITY, SO MUCH BOON). Vigor Uptime: ELES => 78% Uptime. VS Log1 : 35% uptime VS Log2: 8% Uptime. WOW Not a chance. ELE IS NOT WORTH IT. Catalyst is not worth it. Weaver is not Worth it.

@@Rongez Why I focus so much in the Uptime and boons? Because having all that, helps alot. And at the end of the video , Eles got a warrior monster and missed a shield , 2 went downstate. They recovered quite fast and yet got the kill. The other 2 groups also got downstates , 2 warriors players going downstate, and the Log2 have the harbringer quickness going downstate and the mechanist going downstate but in some cases because the support was going for the shield or the sword mechanic. Then you maybe will try to say " Conjured is not a hard boss, there aren't alot of mechanics", yes maybe, but let me tell you something, go find in youtube ELE ONLY, and you will find DHUM ELE ONLY no quickness, No alacrity, Qadim Wing6 Ele only, no portal bullshit, no pulls, and Yes, they got CC to break the Qadim bar. Qadim2 only ELEs, you want a tank? get catalyst tank, you want pylons? no problem staff pylon ele, you need Dps? you got weaver and Cata, and you know what? they are not even the best players, yet, they did all that. WITHOUT UTILITY? with that low CC? . The reality is : You are not good enough, you overcap utilities and don't use it then you expect you support to do everything, then you start focusing in ur crappy rotation and die because you are not looking around, just pressing 2 skills is not gameplay, but if you press everything and yet you don't know how to combine with your team? also isn't gameplay, I think you want to play Mobile games with autoplay.
