Guild Wars 2

Each new piece of AR gear is meant to allow you to progress to further fractal levels, which have increasingly better rewards compounding with higher scaling difficulty.

So I’ve been doing fractal 38s and 48s (had to do the 99% res trick for that though) with just ascended rings and a back piece since I got to those levels.

In the past few months I’ve upgraded my gear to have an ascended amulet and 2 ascended earrings. That is 3 new pieces of ascended gear. Can any of you guess what fractal level I am still currently stuck on? YOU GUESSED IT! Fractal 48!… wait a minute… that doesn’t sound right

I guess it’s a good thing that I can now survive 48 maw in the downed state without any guardian book or warrior shouts… Hold on a minute here! I also could still do that back when I only had 35 ar and could still use my consumable healing seed pod! So sad

My suspicions is that the next ascended item release will come with a rise in the Fractal cap, or at least I hope that is the case.

The same reason I’m sitting on all my laurels…

i would really hope this month they add /more thing to fotm is been 3+ month since they do anything but nerf drops rate and stuff to fotm

they also buffed agony damage. Not conspiracy here, they actually buffed it. Proof is when I first got 30ar and did frak 48, I could just barely survive 3 ticks of agony at maw (with or without healing, still went down up on 2nd, down on 3rd). A while back I noticed I was going down on the 2nd tick instead of the 3rd with 30 ar. Needless buff imo.

That’s not true. This table has been true since agony came out. The only blatant agony-related change was the cap at 50+.

There is a bug sometimes where your AR won’t count; simply take off and reequip the item to get the bonus. Make sure your bonus is what it should be before every boss (can check in stat panel).

That could be the case, never really look at it but it’s weird that it would happen to me like that multiple times… Stranger things have happened, esp with my crap luck.

Your backpack was probably broken.

nope, I know how broken equipment works so if it was broken I would have realized that’s the case. Every time I noticed myself going down in 2 ticks and feeling it was weird was when it was intact.
