Because you have to grind like an idiot to get the basic Skyscale, for example. And then you have to grind even more to get a better Skyscale. No one has so much time. In that time I can play 3-4 Singleplayer games.

Q1 - Always go healer first, as you already know, they're usually the most difficult to find when organizing a group, so you should have an easier time joining one.... Q2 - No. Didn't really enjoy playing it at all, and once everyone who is planning on making a new leggy is done, I don't really see why they'd want to go back (save for the possible infusion drop). I mean, HoT is replayable (imo) cuz metas are fast, but PoF metas barely ever get enough people joining (some EoD metas do but only cuz of the gen 3 leggy-related mats).

So after 12 years a guardian will be able to use a spear on land... fine, but why not the warrior? ........ It's a class that has been mansillated for a while with regards to what it can use and do. How to make support and healer to the other classes.

Really Kind of you to mention @Snebzor , apart from that, video top notch, informative, good pace of game movement compared with your voice, bro. Great Work! Keep it doing!🥳

Big thanks for promoting Snebzor's referral link. He's a great guy and an awesome supporter of GW2's community, particularly the players interested in Raiding. I used to belong to one of his guild's static Raid squads, and I'm trying to get back on a static squad again, after about a year long break from Raiding. I found 99% of the Raiding players in Sneb's guild were very helpful and patient with players who were new to Raids, which is why I want to join one of Sneb's static squads again, to finish my first Legendary armor set (I've completed the first collection and have my Crystallized Heart and Envoy I Ascended armor set, and I think I have most, if not all of the rest of the materials needed to craft the Legendary armor, once I have completed the Heart collection, and selected my Envoy II armor set, including the 6 Gifts of Craftmanship that are purchased with Provisioners Tokens. I have already prepurchased the Janthir Wilds expansion using Snebzor's affiliate link on my main account, and will probably buy it again for my secondary account (my Grandson's account that I keep current for him, until he decides to return to playing GW2). I'd recommend that everyone reading this comment support Snebzor by purchasing the Janthir Wilds expansion using Snebzor's affilaite link, if they are going to purchase the expansion anyway, or at least support one of the other Arenanet partners, by using someone's affiliate link for the expansion. Nice video, keep up the great work, and thanks again for supporting Snebzor.

If you want to hoard up the season 4 materials you should try looking for parties for "full home instance" daily, so that you can slowly build 'em up taking advantage of players who already unlocked the nodes 😊

Go for healer set always if you like to play it, thats will open you more opportunity for LFG, and soto will be replayeable just because of the legendary armors, just like the raids

Q1.) Going to lean for healing set, I don't play much mesmer, but my favorite fractal buddy mains it and he's suuuch a mvp on boon/heal chrono when I switch off with him to dps. Q2.) I just... can't see SOTO being "highly" replayed long term. You mentioned HoT as a contrast, which I agree. I'm sure there will be some people who will prefer it as their legendary armor path, but as a general farm for everyone, it pales in comparison to a lot of other open world spots. VB>Matriarch and leave/TD>Chak Gerent/Amnoon casino + pinata/Teq or w/e world bosses are up are just quicker and easier for some gold. Archipelago and Amnytas look cool, however, their massive and overly vertical layouts are fun initially as a novelty, but don't interest me as much if I'm spending more time in open world. Also, going to embarrass myself and say thank you for showing this idiot your path on the last part of that zipline > mushroom drop section in Silent Surf, I * still * screw that up 😅

Q2 - I'm convinced that Rifts and Convergences (at least SOTO ones since theyre coming back in Janthir) will die off once most have their armor. However, they did add the vendor that's got similar daily options to the Leyline Converter from HOT. Sadly the metas arent as quick or interesting as HOT ones.

1) Chrono healing seems like it'd be better for group support, Condi Virt seems like it'd be better for both open world and group content . . . leaning Condi, since it seems like it'll be more versatile, overall. 2) Agh, that's a hard question . . . because on the one hand, I'd feel bad if Anet just did all that work on an expansion to become forgotten content. On the other hand, I only have four incentives to engage with SoTO: 1) Finishing the mastery lines, for Skyscale boosts, Convergence boosts, and for completionist stuff. 2) Going to the Wizard's Tower for the XP boost. 3) Convergences, if I'm feeling it (for some reason) 4) The Inner Nayos Metas, which I find to be pretty fun. 4.1) I need to finish the obsidian breastplate, so I'll probably do the other content until that's done, but I haven't particularly enjoyed Skywatch Archipelago or Amnytas. So, I think those maps, and maybe Inner Nayos Meta 3, will become similar to Gyala Delve, at least based on my experiences.

I have different play time with my current server should I play new hero 😢

I think heal set is a better option. Condi set mostly gives a better dps for some content but in PuG it is not so important. But abiliti to sitch role to a or q heal is big boost to save time on forming group or squad. As for SoTo i belive it will stay some ok goldfarm option and few players will be there to do metas. New converter is good if you take into account how easy it is farm SOTO maps currency compared to HoT maps and yet you get the same rewards. Though strike missions are getting out of control with a number of hubs. If Anet keep adding new strike hub every year it would be a bit odd on daily/weekly rotation.

Healing set!!! But at the end of the day I think it’s a question of what you wanna play. Boon dps condi may give better options for flexibility Soto I feel like dies honestly. I hate it and it’s the common content now lol

W creator

Thank you again for the support!!

once I'm done with my obsi armor I will never enter a soto map ever again, I'm at the point where I just feel miserable playing those maps maybe I just need a few years to recoup, idk

Not consolidating the currencies is rough. When I heard the release schedule for these annual "mini" expacs I knew things like currency consolidation weren't going to have the dev time anymore. Unless it's a main staple of a new expac, the thing you want fixed is probably never getting touched again in my opinion. Could be wrong but I doubt it.

In my opinion, heal set! Power virt is getting some buffs coming 25th June so maybe there will be less emphases on condi virt, which would be nice for you since you're running power chrono atm. I struggle to see people doing SOTO content outside of trying to get their leggie armor... Convergences, rifts, etc are all for legendary armor, nothing more or less. The metas aren't even that "fun" as they are long (as compared to the HoT stuff you mentioned outside of Dragon's stand) with the inner nayos final meta requiring two other metas to be completed -_- it's just sooooo long with the reward not even feeling worth it all. The epic feeling of looting all the chests in auric basin or looting the noxious pods in dragon stand needs to be emulated in the new expac, soto kinda feels undersalted. Although I do still have fun with the metas once in awhile, they don't feel as good to show up to as the HoT ones

The thing with SotO Leggy Armor is that, most of the try hards already have their leggy armor via Raid WvW etc. and for casuals its way too much of a grind. I think there'll still be a decent chunk of SotO enjoyers a few packs down the line, but I don't think there'll be as frequent Convergence CM runs for example, like now I sometimes see Conv. CM LFGs 7 in the morning and they still fill up rather quickly. I don't think that will happen a few months later. I personally need the leggy armor because I do a lot of T4 fractals and have the money, but raid gate keeping is keeping me away from raids, and I like SotO armor better, especially light one, despite T2 being really bad imo. So people like me will keep it alive, but it won't be as alive. Like I'll never play a single SotO map after I finish my light armor set. I already have the heavy one complete and I am done with 2/6 for light armor. I already have everything I could want for Medium with tons of ascended so I'll finish light and move on. Maybe I'll come back a year or two later but I need a break. The thing I mostly want in the future is 5 and 10 people PvE encounters unified under their own single consistent system, and renamed to things commonly known in the MMO space. For example who knows what the fractals are but everyone knows dungeons. Fractals are still technically called dungeons I know, but imo they should just make each of the current dungeons with their own paths into their own fractals and just call the whole system as "dungeons". Same thing with strikes, rename them to Raids, if a Raid has to have multiple encounters they can combine strikes, throw a bunch of trash mobs and circle mechanics in between the bosses and call it a day. Also make them consistent, like the latest wing will have a OW version, NM, CM, and LCM. Add those things to the existing raids as well, for consistency. Also have the dungeons and raids all share the same currency for their own systems, except the latest expansion content so that people with the currency wont access the new stuff instantly. What I said in the second paragraph is really oversimplied and what I am telling there would be really hard to implement and would probably hinder new content development so they'll never do that. People will always prefer a new raid over old raid overhauls with new difficulty settings for example. But it would solve the "hat on a hat" problem.

First ❤

Well, the main reason because this is a non-subscription mmorpg, its all about the money.

SOTO is ew, Janthir on the other hand looks fine, i am totally gonna buy it even just for the spear.

Wait, two maps? So... This expansion sounds smaller than SotO, and I was already unhappy with how tiny it was...

#PARTNERSIL #NOW

Soto will continue to be recommended to new players solely because of the wizards vault (unless they change that) and the very important weapon mastery unlock! But yeah, for the complete package $25 isn't a whole lot... I do agree with your point about the state of Soto during release where you were basically just sitting around farming mats for unknown reasons solely because the developers didn't want to convey ahead of time what you needed for legendaries, collections, etc. Hopefully they improve on that, I don't want the first 3 months of isle of janthir to be also farming materials for unknown reasons only to find out you've farmed too little or too much down the line

I'm at this point where I'm fluctuating between cautiously optimistic and just flatout hyped for the next expansion. SOTO was a clear flop, but it did introduce some individual systems that I enjoy. I'm just genuinely hoping that they have learned their lessons and now have a better understanding of what is and isn't possible with the time constraints that they have, but I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. Also funnily enough, even though as you mentioned it's not strictly a new feature, the wizard vault is by far my favorite feature in SOTO. It made me go from not caring about dailies at all (I'd do them when they happened to be in my path for that day), to me actively going out and completing my dailies almost every single day. Anyway, I really do hope Janthir isn't going to be a letdown, but they've got these sick looking new Kodan models so if nothing else, I guess I can just go stand around those and get my money's worth 😂

I enjoyed the first map and hub of SotO, the new weapons and using all spec weapons was a nice touch with no new spec this time. huge value for new players getting a skyscale quicker. the story was a flop, convergences and the strikes were almost as bad. and I agree, I wont do t4 dailies if the new 100 is one of them, not worth till it's old content and the average pug understands it.

for new players, it's worth it just for the skyscale XD

0:44 lmao, tbh the streamer stuff was cringe i just closed that vid

Lonely Tower requires the team to be skilled and it's super easy , it's clearly not for farmers and i really like that . I do the CM every day got the title in 2 pulls . Just get better .

Absolute god. Thank you so much for supporting me!

I better play wvw for 6 month to get mistorged legy set than play soto. After pre ordering and playing that expansion for maybe 8 h or less, i never returned there. Not my cup of tea. Great video! : )

Whoa, the 25$ math gave me a reality check there. 25$ in my country basically equates to 5-6 days of food. I saved up enough to buy the expansion, I'm just looking towards what it actually gives, but I didn't realise how big the economy gap was in different countries.

I'm glad that ANet chose a story that's mostly inconsequential to the going ons of Tyria that can easily be ignored and have no greater impact on the franchise as a whole rather than something like Janthir that's actually quite a deal. I would much rather they made the necessary mistakes with something like this that can be treated like WoW: Shadowland was when Dragonflight was released. The "I guess that happened, oh well, onto the hopefully better pastures."

Is there a reason why Rune of the Nightmare is preferred over Trapper? I don't see anywhere mirage puts out fear and its kind of a pain to get Nightmare vs Trapper....

I already ran the second meta over a hundred times to try to get the sword, so for me it was worth it, but i must admit that the midnight king was a dissapointing and boring fight, and it felt like the story had a lot of padding, especially on repeat playthrough for achievements, but it did feel overall it was worth it, but it's a shame as it could have been so much better.

Decent value for $25, I just hope the raid is well designed maybe like Cerus CM, not like the Lonely Tower. LT is fun if mechanics are done proper, I think it's way too punishing, 1 envy shouldn't fully booncorrupt you for the entire fight (on CM)

Its interesting to hier opinion from a veteran player on SoTo and game overall. Me as a werry casual only GW2 player and enjoyer can anderstand it, SoTo wos not my gem aswell. I am not fan of theme in last map, and agree on most of wot you sed. New expansion looks exactly my think, enviroment, atmosphere and all wot thay show i find super interesting. One of the best moments/ achievements wos 'Retourne to' achievement for me. It wos such a hipe and going with so much players thrue whole game storry i find so beautiful. I love feel of gameplay and characters/specialisations learning and mastering. WvWvW is aswell one of the best gaming experiencies overall, with my country guildies and rest of folks, me healing and suporting them from a back...so good. Thanx for video🕊🐣🕊

I have a feeling that wing 8 will be a very long fight with very high hp pool bosses, its feels like thats their answer on high bench specs this days.

I did the lonely tower fractal today (I'm a T3 player right now so not T4) and we got the boss down to about ~25% before he got any envy stacks and the difference in difficulty of the fight is night and day. With no envy i'm mostly just running around as healing picking up orbs and healing party members with the ventari tablet but with the envy stacks it became so much tougher, it's especially punishing to get sucked into the red circle attack and have all my boons corrupted including swiftness so i can't break out of it. We were able to clear the fight but i think it's bad design for a fight to go from boring but simple to a complete nightmare because you failed one mechanic one time
