Also PSA: versatile power on warrior had an ICD placed on it stealthily, no more bundle spam.

Saw this in patch notes actually, this wasn’t a stealth fix.

That is some cringe worthy activity there. I have heard people talk about the EU Gulds before but kinda always chalked it up as people being people. Can’t say I have ever noticed any guilds or players doing that on NA, Dungeon guilds or otherwise.

Regardless of what region ya play in there are good players and bad players in both, and the LFG is for the most part awful in both :P

I am sure there are. In my own experience I have never seen any one doing the stuff that was described. My lfgs have mostly been tolerable. Then again, I run with two friends with the same guild tag 99% of the time. I would guess this helps keep the kittens in line since they know we can kick them if they act up to much.

Ugh, those tryhard guilds are the worst.

A friend of mines was in a guild for a long time, then overnight they decided they were going to be a dungeon speedrun guild, and started making it mandatory for people to run certain classes in the runs, or they’d be kicked from the guild. In the end my friends little sister – who’s 16 – was all but kicked out by a bunch of grown adults for maining a necro in what was always a casual guild. Bunch of kittens.

Anyway, i’d played with them before, and they were kinda bad, so i asked to go on runs with them to see for myself if they were suddenly elite speedrunners. They were not. They kept insisting on the perfect food, not starting without checking my traits and gear, explaining everything to me beforehand like i’d never run CoE before, harpy feather nonsense…etc. At the start they went for the big pull of all the ele’s/wolves, and failed miserably three times before deciding to just do it the safe way. Alpha was amazing too, with me always being the only one who could count to two before dodging his AoE’s.

We did a Lv9 fractal afterwards too (I said we should at least go for 10, but apparently harpy knockbacks weren’t worth it xD), and they were hilariously bad. Me and my friend basically duo’d it since they were on their kitten the entire time.

Terrible players, terrible people.

I will say I feel I do the same thing at this point or at least far more often, too often I used to assume things, and then get frustrated. Lang taught me to be better than that

In my free time I’ve been going through and getting feathers with all my alts, just got 2 stacks on my mesmer and I’m already out 20 in like 3 days just running Arah, it’s a pain swapping gear if I can make it with the help of a feather.

Question: how much AR do you need for fractals past 40?

Came back since quitting around January 2013. Before I quit no one gave a kitten about how much AR you had at high level fractals since the max was 25 (30 if you had an infused back piece which very few people had) and would get nearly one-shot regardless of AR.

55 on a 40 for 1% ticks, 70 on a 50

You can probably get away with 5 less if you are only in combat for short periods of time, I accidentally did a trio of a boss with 65, on a 50, and I was alive the whole time missing just a 5% multiplier(barely noticed it on condi).

Tell me about it.
Once I answered a guy that asked, quoting: “Do we know if HoT will bring any new pets to the ranger class?” My answer was: “Nope”.
This guy quoted me and was like “you got a source? because else it’s not true an u talking out your kitten ”. I desperately fought back my instinct to give a snarky response and a guy kindly replied for me, making him notice I just answered – do we know? no, we don’t.
Like, just checking Talyn’s post about qol changes to the fl? makes me want to punch a wall. People don’t kittening bother to read a 20 sentence OP. Who would bother to read my snarky wall of texts?
kitten them.

I’d offer myself up immediately, but I don’t think you’d want to play with me in fracs. I’m average at the very best, and the few friends of mine that still play are kinda troll-ish and utterly burnt out – so most of our runs end up with lots of screwing around, joking and not so much speed. Also, neo plays on a potato.

I usually come on around 1700-1800 (UTC+3) and try to do it as soon as possible so if you have a spot feel free to whisper me. Do be warned though, I generally hate playing any of the “meta” classes and would probably just use my ranger as it’s pretty much the only enjoyable class to play atm.

My solution is just to not play it, at all.

Luckily Spider Queen and her attacks is a subject that never gets old.

Bite is a single target melee cleave. But her spray and webs are cleaves too.

What made you think I was talking about something else?
The spider has a bite attack, a web spray, a poison spray and poison aoes.

I did AC yesterday to be sure I was right. And I was. It still has the same abilities, and they still work as I described. Initial spider summons, poison fields, web cleave, poison cleave.

So many mechanics.

Are there any enemies who apply conditions that also give themselves Might stacks? Seeing how their ticks scale as they gain/lose Might would let you back into the formula.
