Guild Wars 2

Hey all,

Just a quick question about Dungeon Tours, what dungeons are often in it?

If you’ve got 2 hours every day to tour dungeons, which dungeons would that be?
If you’d have to PUG these tours, would you choose different dungeons?

If pug I’d probably skip arah.

Cof12, AC123, SE13 would be the choices for pugging.

Organized groups would prefer CM123, arah12 and less time gated ones like ac p3.

If I had 2 hours and that’s it and I was looking to make money. ACp1 and p3/2, Arah p1/2, SEp1, CoF1, then maybe CM?

If PUG, ACp1-3, SEp1, CoFp1, COE1-3(or as far as you get in COE). I simply don’t trust PUGs to be quick in CM/Arah or even SEp3/CoFp2. Most people doing COE seem to know it,rare I get a bad one, though it takes a bit, with some luck on cores/lodestones it’s actually quite profitable.

Personally I typically just start with Arah when PUGing and go as long as I can but I’m not too much after money.

AC12, TAUp/Fwd, SE13 and CoF1(2) are all incredibly safe to pug. Most people know what to do and the rewards are decent. AC3 and CoF2 are sadly rather long through time-gated events, I tend to avoid those myself. Fwd I usually base on how the group did in Up since it can be a bit long aswell.

CM123/CoE123/Arah 12 are reasonable aswell, but more of a gamble because people need to have some basic understanding of the dungeon and class. Usually if I don’t see a good composition or food/potions I’d not bother with the group. Good if you have time left-over or want a change.

Stay away from Arah p34, 4 is too long (unless exploited I suppose) and p3 has a low gold-reward for the time spend generally, SE p2, too long and most people are clueless. HotW 123, 1 can be done but it’s often not worth the hassle with pugs, rest, just don’t torment yourself.

This is just my personal experience, though people can’t even drag me to groups with a single pug anymore. ^^" I’d recommend finding a guild that fits your needs with your limited playtime.

My priorities on short days are similar to Jerus, quick paths ftw.

I must be a masochist. My daily “tour” consists of pugging arah123 and coe123, often multiple times…

^^ it’s the way to have fun, and nothing is better than making new Arah people go “umm… how?”

Every day I run:
AC all, CoF 1&2, CM 1&3, SE 1&3, CoE all, HotW 1. I will either do it with all guildies, all pugs, or a mix of both. Doesn’t really matter to me because I have zero qualms about kicking people who don’t know how to read LFG listings. I would rather a dungeon take longer because I’m waiting for a competent player to join my party rather than it take longer because I’m too nice to kick a non-80 person running non-meta gear who has never done the path before.

The only dungeon I refuse to pug is Arah, and unfortunately that doesn’t get done every day. When it does get done, my friends and I will do 1 and 3.

My tour is a bit lengthy. On days where I have to get to bed early or if we run more fractals than dungeons, we will generally cut it down to AC all (or 1&3), CoF 1, CoE 2&3, HotW 1.

I’d suggest going for AC p1 and 3/2, TA fwd and up, SE 1 and 3 and if you have time left, i’d advice doing CoE as far as you can get. Depending on if you’re playing guardian or mesmer and you’re experienced with them you can basically carry PuGs through Arah.
Just wall lupi, go cheezemode and gg.
Otherwise don’t do Arah, think it’s a pain with PuGs.

I usually just do what I find is fun for the day if I am pugging, which is usually always cof p1 and then off to fractals.
