That being said, having a well balanced character is pretty important; not just for Queen’s Gauntlet but in general. I keep the gear to swap playstyles on my character, and generally a respec is pretty cheap and easy even at 80.

Now, just think how much easier this would be if you could save builds!

Please, please, please, please, please.

I’d be happy if they just enabled the button that’s available in sPvP to reset trait points anywhere (out of combat). Automatically deduct the 3.50s from my shiny new wallet if it’s that important of a gold sink.

To clarify we had both QA and our internal core tests go through the content a whole bunch. The QA team focused on making sure that every profession could complete every boss (there are 12) with a reasonable level of skill and gear. The core testers mostly did what they do best and beat the pants off of the stuff we throw at them and tell us whether or not it was hard enough. I feel its worth mentioning that we would schedule tests for an hour or so and some of them would stay all day trying to beat it. But they were having fun, and that’s whats most important to me.

Queen’s Gauntlet is definitely the more challenging side of the Jubilee. That’s why it has its own achievement category and rewards. There’s even a gambit system wherein you can increase the difficulty for a better reward.

It’s not quite like anything we’ve ever done before. I think some of you are really going to have fun with it.

Testing or no I’ve been waiting for this kind of content >=D

Is anything from here permanent content?

Anet, please say there’s a Giant to fight in the gauntlet. If these fights are quick it’ll make Giant Slayer achievement easier to do.

Yea but they’re probably going to put achievements for the different gambits, seeing how they put achievements for everything (not getting hit by lasers for AR, not getting hit by the cannon barrage, T1/T2/T3/T4, etc)

Then you simply need to learn to play with all those gambits if you feel the need to have all achievements.
Achievements are supposed to actually require people to achieve something, which is quite clearly not the case for most of the current Achievement in this game but they seems to be working on adding more.

You don’t NEED to complete all achievements after all.

Tom Gore.4035:

Yup. People should look up the word “achievement” in their dictionaries.

The thing about the gambit is that there is a specific one that removes dodges, which is the only form of damage mitigation a Necro (which I main) has. If the boss monster does any form of OHKO, then the Necro would have absolutely no chance to survive.

I know what achievements are. Achievements are supposed to be difficult, but they aren’t supposed to be impossible. If a boss monster uses a OHKO skill on a necro, who has no way of blocking the skill, then that is impossible. It is not a matter of “l2p” because there is no option to block/evade an attack like that on a necro once dodge is removed. I am a completionist, and I’m sure there are many others like me, who get every single achievement. I am not complaining about difficulty. So far there have not been any achievements that are impossible for me to complete.

You are not meant to be able to complete all achievements with a single character. Or would you complain that axe master isn’t possible to do with an elementalist? Or how you can’t complete all story achievements on a single character?

All classes have the ability to avoid OHKOs with their skills. Necro can set minions that can take the hit for one.
Or use one of the many skills that blinds the opponent, or pulls the opponent which would interrupt them.
Or use Spectral Walk to teleport away from the attack.

Now, please tell me how you can not avoid possible OHKOs with a Necro.
