Very nice, Grats. That’s probably the only Legendary I’d go after, mainly because I miss my Bard from EQ.

OMG that would be amazing. Though then I’d want a full Violin focus too, but still, awesome idea.

I keep finding myself defauling to Bonetti’s Rapier, it’s just so good. And I think the elegance of it would fit a harp, thought maybe if there were a gold weapon? /shrug wtb dyable weapons.

My guildie got 4 precursors yesterday or so I was told when I logged on later. So a couple buddies tried their luck, one of htem bought 8 rare GS’s got dawn on the first combine. Then I woke up this morning to read Lilith’s luck. So i threw in 15 gold, then another 3 gold to finish out the rares I had, then I came to my senses and realized I know better than to gamble with my luck. Thankfully my brain always reminds me before I throw too much money away.

Aight so Fyonna just did nothing but spam wire and knockback on me with seemingly no cooldown, didn’t transform past 50% and randomly reset at like 10% when I was kiting her around the corner yet another time.

Well, I guess I’m yet to see the 84 elementalist.

Every time I try to solo I end up rage quitting after getting royally owned by the locust during p1. Is there a special trick to walling lupi before he summons the swarm?

Being blessed by RNGsus? Other than that, wall him, step a bit back, take care of locusts and then start if you already have swarms at the beginning and they bother you too much.

I never reset when i get too many swarms, although it would probably be a lot faster if i did.

The Locus pause a little before they bite, so you can easily side step the damage. If the swarms get spawned before you’re able to wall lupi, be sure to stick on lupi like white on rice and get him to that wall while simultaneously kiting the swarms in a figure 8 pattern. Only when you get lupi to the wall should you disengage to take care of the swarms.

More often than not, if you disengage lupi to clear swarm w/o walling lupi, it will be a painful cycle of him constantly spawning swarms until you get you say f- it and restart the dungeon.

Heh.

No, there is no trick to walling it before the first spawn.

Its first move is always random and whether you get to push it during the aftercast time or not is up to you.

A couple of days ago I was browsing through the wardrobe, trying to find a focus skin that would suit my sylvari guardian, but the only one that I really liked for her outfit was the fractal focus. I resigned myself to using something sub-optimal, since I never expected to win any fractal skin, much less the focus.

And then last night I did a fractal 40, somebody got a skin (horn) and I almost forgot to open my chest (I’ve had a streak on people getting four infused rings and me getting nothing lately), and when I finally remembered it, there was a brand new shining fractal focus skin inside, perfect for my guardian. Good thing I wasn’t on TS that moment, I wasn’t exactly quiet when I realised what it was .

I still hope it’s not me, but there’s a disturbing number of fractal runs I’ve had with forumers that were “special”. Ask Winter about the first time I went to fractals with him and his guildies … two warriors, three mesmers, and at least three of us (my little asura mesmer included) below 25 ar in a 20+ fractal. By the time we got past mossman in swamp we already had seen everything go wrong that could go wrong . And I did a 49 with some other forumers a couple of weeks ago that didn’t exactly go smooth either … I guess I will have to do my best to go back to fractals often and break that streak of bad luck runs (although I wouldn’t mind them so much if they’d reward me with a few more nice fractal skins ).

They probably didn’t think it through, hence why it will probably not work after the patch.

“We rethink the way you trade items”
“Unlocking destroys the mini from your inventory, but once it’s unlocked, that mini is available to all your characters to equip simultaneously for no additional cost.”

Yep, you’re going to trade less and less. gg. At least you don’t have to do that. Other than that it’s nice QoL I guess.

Really?

Does Frost Spirit only trigger once on multi-hit attacks then? Whirling Defense for example? I never really played much Ranger or bothered with that.

Just tested in mists, only 1 hit of multi-hit attacks was increased with frosty. Requesting someone else to test whether non-multi-hit attacks are gaining the damage bonus more than once per 10s, the numbers I’m getting atm are too varied to tell and I’m low on time.

Based on my 10 minute pony spam session against indestructible golems I’m 90% certain that they’ve put the 10s recharge on FS.

Without amulet, sigils, runes, and traits my auto attack on SB ranged from 123 to 136 and when frost spirit procced (usually off CD ) I got about 140-146 ticks at the same intervals as i got the effect from other spirits which we know to have 10 second recharge.

And on LB 2 and axe offhand 5 I only got one proc per cast.

PS. They really need to put back the steady weapons to pvp so people can test properly. >_>
