I don't think so. But you can get every skill in the game.
youll have more than enough skill points to buy all of the skills. You can swap skills out of combat any time.
Make sure you are doing the Skill Point challenges. you should a lot more skills than 1 at level 10. Dont you start getting SP at every level beyond 6 or something?

Just to note, you actually have no limit on skill points you can gain. You keep getting them after 80 by gaining further experience. If you run out of skills to buy, start checking out the mystic forge vendor Miyani. She sells her items for skill points.
Mostly it's not worth it but getting exotic runes off the TP can be difficult unless you have the crafting profession for it. Check out what kind of runes you want on your armor and go with that.
Also, legendaries, for those who have the interest and persistence.
Very cool stuff. Its big advantage over our Controller Mode offering is, appropriately enough, that it's totally viable to use without a gamepad.
I looked over the script and it's actually quite similar to ours. Unfortunately the one thing I was excited about when I saw the Combat Mode post was a disappointment; in their case as in ours, you can only see the crosshair in windowed (or fullscreen windowed) mode, which gives a performance hit (though personally I play in windowed mode a lot anyway).
Here's my bullet point overview of it for those interested:
- Lots of crosshair options, there will definitely be one you like
- Relies on fast-cast targeting, crosshair is mostly necessary
- Need to use windowed/fullscreen windowed mode
- Viable to use with either mouse/kb or gamepad (lets you use mouse clicks and scroll wheel for all kinds of stuff), but doesn't include gamepad profile so you'll have to make one
- If you follow the instructions and make TAB the toggle key, make sure to reassign Next and Previous Target to some other keys; don't recommend only crosshair aiming, such as in the case of a boss
- The way it switches back to mouse control when you open a menu is very clever, and we may well steal this for our script
If you're interested in playing with a gamepad primarily, there's still nothing better out there I've seen than Weltall's package available here. It has literally everything you need to use a 360 controller starting from scratch and the profile is heavily refined for gamepad use. My latest personal revision (still under some testing
) even includes some chat macros so that you can thank people for rezzing you and dance without touching the keyboard Did they already patch this out? If not can someone make a quick video showing it off in action?
EDIT: Found one. Looks good
Link? This sounds really, really awesome. Does it work with other Classes?
Too much effort.
I dunno... it's only for cosmetics, and you're burning at least 2 transmutation stones per piece if I understand it correctly. Maybe not such a bad deal if people are looking to the gemstore for those.

Sounds like they are going to make tokens account bound AND give more of them at a time.
yay!

Sure sounds like a good idea to me.

Just had the best dungeon experience with the guild yet - AC explorable was really fun the second time. Took us 45 minutes versus (what seemed at least) the 5 hour experience of the first one that we didn't even finish. I guess that's good design on ANet's part because the second time was easy so long as you knew the strategy and had the skill to pull it off versus the first time when we were all relatively new to the game. The first group we had with AC explorable were fellow guildmates and real good people so the experience was still a lot better than, say, the PUG I got myself into with CM. Even though that was a really easy dungeon, the dungeon group was horrible.
Even when the chips settle and the newness wears off, I still see myself coming back to this game throughout the rest of my gaming "career" honestly.

All this talk about teleporting and exploits got me thinking of something that happened a few weeks back.
I was in WvW. I see one of our towers under seige on the map. I run over and see 10-20 HoD players banging on it from the outside. No problem... I'll just run inside and defend, right? As soon as I get in the walls, I'm welcomed by 10 other HoD players who proceed to kill me and take the tower. The gate is still up, mind you, and none of the walls were down. I assumed the gate glitched closed or something, but I wonder about it now.

hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
A mesmer may have gotten inside and used their portal to sneak people in? We've done that sometimes on our server, and other servers have used it against us.

Abyss would probably look cool on his face.

Is there room in the main gaf guild? I'll transfer servers to join, but I wan't to make sure theres available spots first.
As much as I like farming for tokens, I have never done it with a pug. I rather wait for hours for gaffers to come on than pull my hair out
Last I checked there were over 100 spots free.
Yup we have room.

Sweet. my transfer is on CD right now. When its up I'll transfer over and whisper an officer.
Oh my god.
Doing the Metrica Province or whatever its called jumping puzzle. Get to the cold stage/3rd stage and if I die on it, I get transported back to the beginning DEAD!! I have to use a waypoint on the ground, which kicks me out of all of my progress... it's done it twice already!

Good news on the dungeon design. maybe ill get a full set of CoE gear now if the tokens a lot
Ouch, you should have asked a guildie for help. If i was free, id have come rezzed yea. Cause that just sounds INSANELY frustraiting

Some people may jump on me for this, but I wish there was a way to buy level 80 characters. Now I don't mean right out of the gate, but if you naturally train a character up to level 80, something should unlock where you can buy other classes at that level (either through gems, karma, or real money). While the path from 1-80 is certainly more managable than a lot of MMOs, it still takes a bit chunk of time and there are people who want to try out classes at high level play but don't want to invest the time. I think it would be good for ANet because it would keep people playing and encourage them to spend money on more things on the gem store.

i did this one yesterday, spent 3 hours total on it...
Actually when you fall and hit the ground no matter which stage, you have to redo the beginning part up to the first portal, then you can ask the robot to teleport you the the last stage you were at!
Good news is, there's only 3 real stages in that one...
Found a funny little bug today. The top half of my body was still dead when I respawned.
Just started a Necro today. I like the atmosphere and all behind the class, but I have the sneaking suspicion that there isn't much to the class. Is that the case? It doesn't seem to have the flexibility of the Engineer, the creative latitude of the Mesmer, or the multiple skill sets of the Elementalist. I spend a decent amount of time just autoattacking and switching in and out of death form. Is that it? Is there a bit more depth to the class or is it more of a basic, "beginner" class?
Yeah, the weapon skills themselves are pretty boring. They have a bit of depth in handling their health bars and pets, but it's not really fun.
I thought it was fun going from 15-30. I'm 48 now and kind of bored just sitting around waiting for skills to come off cooldown while poking with daggers.
From what I have gathered thus far (lvl 37 nec). There are like 3 kind of builds. Wellmancer, conditonmancer and minionmaster.
The 2 first are more of a AOE kinda thingy. I play conditionmancer myself. Pretty good in pve and i can take on like 4-5 lvl higher mobs than myself. As you say there is not much to the class. The best thing about it is it´s survivability (imo). You can like stack up bunch of conditions, put condition on urself and transfer them on urself(then heal urself with them). The most unique thing about the class is death shroud, which you can use as a second life bar. That´s about it.
I do admit that they do feel kinda underpowered compared to most other classes though. Considering trying another class. Anyone got any recommendations?
