Guild Wars 2

So they ‘nerfed’ Dunwell. Not by using a nerf they know that worked before with subject 7 and reduce the rewards, no they try something new. Now most classes that used to farm him are annoyed by this. I couldnt really do it like I did on my warrior anymore , and guardian reflect is taken care of too.
But thieves. They just go and farm as if nothing happened ! Why do they get the chance to farm like crazy while the rest of us is punished ?
If you nerf, do it so that everyone is getting goldblocked and not so that some can make great profit and others are left out ( wich, in fact, was already the case. But not as hard as now…. )

I just watched a guardian do it multiple times a few mins ago with sword focus and reflect wall.

actually most classes can still farm him if you bothered reading any of the other identical threads posted about this

Most other threads ended in a hate the devs, or hate the other players in the thread kind of thread… Ill try around, still I think thieves arent hit as hard as the rest of us are with the patch.

this title is a taunt at the devs. “thieves are laughing at your unsuccessful nerf” essentially…

I’m a thief…what do I have to do?

I can confirm that Warrior can still farm him easily, didnt knew before patch about this whole farming thing but after reading the forum I decided to accept the challenge and find a way to do it :l pretty sure any good warrior can figure it out easily too.
I really like Queen’s Gauntlet about how it makes you think before acting, planning what you will use against that opponent in order to win but if its an easy way to get money thats just cheating.

I’m glad Dunwell is working as intended now!

If I get this right, Dunwell rewards has a chance at Charged Lodestone, if its intended this will lower the price of Charged Lodestone while the first farmer basically gets the first hand at gaining the most gold out of it.
However I doubt its intended because this also affect easy access to gem meaning Anet will receive less money.
Will some players be punished for exploiting this? So far all Iv seen is attempt at fixing it, the damage is done already, if they are afraid at punishing players their MMO could quickly go downhill…

As a zerker guardian, I have no issues farming him w/ 4 gambits on. I say 4 and not “5” because, my guard isn’t decked out in full ascended to make up the damage for squeamish gambit, and the quaggan gambit hits me too hard :-(

Punished for what? Farmers are making use of the intended mechanics and not exploiting some programming bug. That’s like punishing people for running CoF p1 over and over.

Do thieves still farm him 5gambit? Which other profession can do 5gDead (aside from necro/me)?

they should not punish players for this, but they should limit the rewards for the gauntlet.

Thief isn’t as easy as it was.

Can’t have 5 gambits – quaggan pulls no matter what you do and he just annihilates you.

His attacks have completely changed order – so we have to pay attention a lot more. He casts his one shot spontaneously which can completely just end it.

I don’t know whats happening now. Yesterday I was farming him post patch with about a 95% success rate but today something is different. I’m getting a 30% success rate if that. He’s attacking with full damage every time even though he’s blinded 100% of the time. I’ve tried many variations of my build and nothing is working so I don’t know if he got changed again or not, but I wouldn’t put it past Anet.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Ixnay on the adowshay otshay.

So when “$$$LF4 FULL ZERKER WARRIORS MIN 2h COFp1 FARM NO NOOBS PING GEAR OR GTFO$$$” was ok, now take this warriors.
Happy thief

I did the 5 Gambit on Deadeye with my Thief before being aware that Crowd Favorite was as silly as it was. You can still manage to do it with Squeamish instead, you just need to practice and get used to having lower damage.

My build involved Sleight of Hand, Infil Sig, Shadow Shot (both Infil Sig and Shadow Shot have 900 range), and Steal on 21 sec cool down. Thieves Guild helps a lot as do blind fields/pistol whip.

Yep, thieves are still farming it.

God forbid thieves have something to farm for once.
