On second thought you mercless peeps should probably run an N/Rt channeler and an extra mesmer. The extra mesmer is more than worth the rune attributes.

There seems to be a problem with the Zaishen Supply Master. http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/c...ml#post5465013

As for Razah, I want to try something interesting like 4 paras or 4 necros (non-Discord)

QFT. The best rit hero is my ST with defensive spirits. My SoS will prob get replaced now since splinter can go on another hero and SoS isnt all that cracked up to be with 2 mesmers and a MM.

Soul Twisting. Although I'd keep the SoS tbh .

Someone should start looking for that Dhuum tonic

Seems wasteful and aggravating if you could just have them show up in the person's inventory or something.

What about Razah's runes being destroyed? Is that intentional? |

just salvage the runes off. its not like his armor will get destroyed. problem solved.
I find ST better than SoS. when razahs spirits get destroyed the rest of my heroes do shit tones of dmg while the ST keeps everyone proted. example is I did fendi nin hm with heroes and no cons, the rit spikers would just kill his spirits and all he did was put splinter on the minions, No hero died in that dungeon or on the boss with the ST putting shelter,union and displacement up constantly. with all the dmg coming from mesmers/necros and the minions tanking SoS doesnt seem that great.

Tonics: cool.
HM quests: pretty disappointing. I was expecting more than xp and gold. Still, getting a PUG for Villainy was nice and nostalgic.
Flux: cute. Definitely not "sky is falling" material. Hope it shakes things up a bit.
Razah: appreciated, probably won't use much, and I don't have mercenaries.
Friends list thing: again, appreciate the effort, it's probably going to be more of a pain than a boon at this point.
Really, the "big thing" to look forward to is still WoC. Hope that hits soon.

TBH, if running a ST rit hero you are best off leaving them with nothing but shelter, maybe one other spirit. Shelter is the only spirit that is actually important, a hero ST rit that only keeps that up does fine.

Tonics: cool but they will be like japanese minis for a long time
HM quests: so far is all we get is 30k xp and 5k gold it sucks
Flux: doesnt nothing for me since i dont pvp anymore
Razah: cool for some chars i cant run two rts to bad you cant change his looks he is still butt ugly
Friends list thing: cool but also shows you who isnt your friend but takes out your ability to lie to some about where you are xD

Assuming the rarity vs drop rate is the same as in the past, the price should be roughly similar to what an equivalent rarity mini was last year. I highly doubt anyone who has gotten a 5th year mini is going to be deleting their character, so the influx of 6th year tonics should follow a similar pattern. There are lots of other possible mitigating factors that could affect the demand side of the equation, but the supply rate is almost certainly going to be nearly identical to what we are used to. Expect price drops at the same times in which many new accounts were created in the first year, therefore leading to a quickened influx of tonics.
travathian
Strongly disagree. One of the primary drivers of mini prices the last year has been the HoM. You've totally failed to take this into account.
Black Metal
agreed with trav. When the 5th year minis came out, those went straight into HOM and had a use. If these were the very first tonics to come out, I'm sure there might be some lasting demand. But for many, tonics are only with how many party points they give you, and EL tonics give you none which means they have no real marketable value. Plus almost all the skins are heroes, which we can see any time we want. I say these tonics drop in value very fast.
On the other hand, this will prop up the price of 5th year minis, and earlier minis to a lesser extent.

SoS isn't the point of an SoS rit (). You can't hit the r14 channeling breakpoint for SW with a non-rit, can you? For reference, SW @ r16 outputs over 60% more damage per cast then SW @ r12. Its one of the quickest scaling skills in the game, most others are lucky to see a 20-30% increase in effectiveness.

Seriously, am I the only player who ever used SOS rits because shadow stepping behind them makes aggro balls that are easy to spike? SOS is underwhelming otherwise, but try it...ebon escape to your line and all the creatures wrap around the spirits. Deep Freeze, Panic, Esurge...you know where im going.

humm ... i am ho-hum about the 6th year presents. when i read about more tonics i was rather excited, i thought "this would be a great opportunity for a-net to let the masses enjoy some of their favourite things!"
i was thinking ... everlasting polar bear, naga, island guardian, vizu, panda ... personally, i'd want an el. yakkington tonic!
but the same heroes i spend hours looking at every week? just ... meh ... no interest.

Man, I hope the titan quests come up in hm. Loved doing them the first time around and wanna do them again in hm too.
Also, anyone know what type of margonite the el margonite tonic is? Thanks.

I never used to, but it does depend on how well I could fit in other templates whilst keeping AR, Splinter Weapon and the couple of heals the guy brings.

I highly, HIGHLY doubt someone is going to be buying 5th or (potential) 6th year minis for HoM. 99% of players buying stuff for HoM are picking up year 1 or year 2 minis (which naturally have a massively higher supply at any given time and are therefore cheaper). Since there is no difference between years as far as HoM is concerned, there is no reason to go for the higher priced ones except for the .1% of guild wars players who care about spending 100s of ectos on vanity. And if anything, tonics are just as vain or moreso than minis. They are certainly a whole lot more RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing annoying to me when I go into towns and see all the shitty shape changed people.
Dzjudz
Also, there are more than twice the amount of tonics than a bday mini series, so the chance of getting the 'right' one is smaller as well.
Tom Swift
Personally bleh on the tonics. I don't want to look like one of my own heroes and don't want to prty with someone who looks like one of his heroes - that would just be confusing. So even if the drop to 10 g ea I won't be buying.
Now if the el bunny worked in explorable - that would be cool.

Great update but I'm having problems with the high-res texture option for outposts. I tick the option in the graphics settings but each time i exit the client it un-ticks itself and doesn’t want to save. All other settings stay on but it’s just the new options.
Is anyone else having these issues?
Thanks
