Guild Wars 2

I honestly don’t know why CoE isn’t that popular right now? It’s a great dungeon and for those who do CoF path 1 farming all day it could be a great way to switch things up. Sure path 1 is longer then CoF path 1 but I have made several gold from doing just one CoE run before. And you might even make more money doing CoE because most mats from that dungeon are very pricy right now.

Which brings up another point. Due to nobody wanting to run CoE all the Charged mats are ridiculously expensive! Why don’t we all run some more CoE to help the market lower the price so people can buy at a lower cost. And if people start doing that the price for CoF items will probably go up some. So it’s a win win situation. More people running CoE = less expensive mats= more expensive CoF mats.

Oh look, we’ve got an altruist here.

shhh keep it quiet

• agrees with OP *

Also, the charged loadstone drop rate is pretty decent.
But I guess as with any dungeon, it’s fun as long as there’s a good group.

It’s just another Full Zerker dungeon. LoS can clear almost all the trash. Suicide golems die when a Zerker looks at them, Destroyer is a DPS race, and alpha is just L2D. Honestly don’t know why it isn’t more popular…

Tell us which dungeon isn’t full zerk (fractals included).

the time to run CoE was months ago pre patchecs not now just seems pointless compared to what it was

Caudecus’s Manor. I hate that dungeon with a passion, I don’t even think I’ve finished an Exp path there…

No, not really.
I don’t farm dungeons, but I’ve ran plenty of CoE, and I can’t even remember the last time I’ve had a Charged Lodestone drop, if I even ever had one drop for me.

I’m an altruist and even I LOL’d.

Here’s a better idea…. Anet stops being lame, and just overhauls this awful dungeon instead of overhauling AC like it did which NO ONE WAS ASKING FOR. Or if they’re too busy to use their awesome one of a kind special snowflake brains for anything but new Ascended items and CashShop gear… post a Fan Contest to come up with the most inventive but practical ways to redo COE….

There, that last one’s a lot more altruistic b/c it trusts their fanbase to do the right thing (instead of just promoting another boring farm)

Also CM is all about using berserker equipment or being slow. Using anything else is simply selfish and will always be selfish unless the whole combat system isnt changed drastically.

Everybody please run COE p1 and make charged cores/lodes drop, I need them for sunrise and they’re expensive as hell right now.

I think the reason most people avoid it is because while it’s a faceroll, you need to actually learn mechanics unlike COF p1.

Actually there’s very few mechanics involved in the submarine path. Kill a few things, jump over some resident evil lasers, kill a few more things, and in the meantime for each iteration of Subject Alpha I get asked to knockback him into a corner/crates. Then it’s just a DPS race.

At least with the other two paths you have to count 1 Mississippi and dodge.

i couldn’t agree more…coe needs to be much harder. the prices of charged are too low atm!

True, very few mechanics but cof p1 is even dumber, it’s pretty much just “dps > skip > dps > dps > dps” with literally nothing else required. Alpha requires you to….. dodge. The lasers require you to learn the pattern. Not to say it takes a genius to play coe, but it’s a little more challenging than the citadel of joke.

Is the drop rate of charged lodes in coe more than the drop rate of molten lodes in cof?

Seigfried.5938:

It’s the same droprate, one would assume.

Lol… NO. You’re lucky to get one Core out of COE

I did three runs and got two cores and a lode yesterday. Today I got 3 cores from 4 runs plus an extra trash rare. Worth it if you ask me.

I think charged and molten cores/lodes drop about as often yeah

If you are farming a dungeon, why aren’t you putting the highest DPS possible party in the first place? :p

Also, on an interesting side note, I think your definition of “DPS check boss” is completely different than the one used on the rest of the world. The Destroyer is not a DPS check at all.

yea lol. more like a snooze fest, if you fail to 1 shot the destroyer.

in my old core team, anything less than a 1 shot is a epic fail. means 1 of the warriors isnt a good zerker, isnt running GS with axe/mace, failed their timing jumping etc…

its far from a dps check as bads can take unlimited tries essentially as long as they dont wipe, which isnt hard

Exactly, if he was a DPS check he would heal to full when he shield came back up. THEN THE QQ WOULD BEGIN

I’ve farmed my exotic armor set for my Hammer war in CoE itself with random pugs. It was as you said a weird war setup and certainly not DPS optimised, magnified by the fact I was using like, blue/green armor parts. Yet it wasn’t that slow either. We always did the destroyer in 2 or 3 passes.

Farmed the full set there and its a boring and long dungeon.

And like others said its another dps race.

id take a naked warrior over a zerker light/medium armor with the exception of a pro mesmer.

GW2 explorable mode in a nutshell.

A sad Necro and an easy mode zerker Guardian.
