Guild Wars 2

Curious how much time this added to 4xwarriors and 1 mesmer.

I haven’t farmed in quite a while.

I’m still able to run it in 6 minutes or under with a great group. Heck, I ran it with 3 war 1 mes 1 guard with a PUG group and still got the 5 Tokens 6.5 Silver reward!

well 1 thing for sure : I dun see the final boss die in 30 sec with 2 TW pre nerf anymore lol

So how long did it take – 1 min?

Time warp lasts 10 seconds.

Since it roughly doubled your dps, then naturally what you normally did in ~20s was condensed into 10s.

Since Quickness was nerfed 50%, now you are compacting about 15s of damage into 10s.

The flip side is, banners got a buff to mitigate some of that dps loss from quickness. Realistically, it doesn’t make a huge difference, you take a few seconds longer, on paper, it would be about 5s longer for slave driver and 5s longer for effigy.

In general, it had a bigger impact on PvP. The fact that banners got buffed really doesn’t mean there is that big of difference on total dungeon clear times.

Minor necro, but it’s a bit more compacted than that in PvE. While you’re also doing double damage, you’re getting more procs for vulnerability on crit, and more vulnerability from things like grenade engineers, effectively capping it out for your double damage duration and hitting full vulnerability stacks, whereas outside of quickness you might be hitting anywhere from 12-18 stacks at most (at least not without 2 grenade engineers to make this trivial).

Nade Engi OP. Nerf pls.

Why not just bring a warrior with on my mark?

I just killed Slave Driver in 7-8 seconds (within the timewarp) in a 4 warrior 1 mesmer pug group. So it’s probably a loss of 10 seconds at all, if its not faster because of the banner bonus at the endboss which i haven’t been able to take down within a timewarp any time.

6 min run = 26 silver
One hour → 60 min = 260 silver = 2 gold 60 silver

How can that be called farming? You can get around 6 gold in one hour farming materials in Cursed Shore

Just like your materials drop in Cursed Shore are RNG, so is COF drops i.e. Lodestones, Rares, etc.. It works out in the end

6 min run = 26-10 silver Dungeon + 25 silver endboss + 15 silver first champ + 10 silver acolyth event = 60-76 silver/run

= 6-7.6g / hr + drops
