Guild Wars 2

This is my reaction everytime i pug and find it. Sad story anet, sad story.

I will upload the photo when I get home, but this happened to me in my last pug. We got to the bombs, we had 2 thieves, every time we would try to stealth up, the first thief would blast their field and give us stealth, and the second thief, at the very end would use shadow refuge. We told them about 5 times to stop doing this (it wrecks our stralth) and to wait to do that until we get to the door. But nope.

We were all angry and raging about this, and it ask them “is thief your main?”

And they go “yes.”

And the other thief says “then your grasp of the class is pitiful”

And he goes “I’m rank _ (something high I guess, was supposed to be impressive) in pvp f you blah blah”

Dredge, brings out the worst in all of us.

Honestly, I was 80 already with my thief as well when I realized that 5 duration ticks is the max for stealth.
I had talked my group into a weird experiment in CoE1 to do the console not 1-1-3 or 1-4 but all 5 at once. Thought I could get enough stealth together to last us long enough to pull this off. wondered why the duration seemed to be capped. Well live and learn.
At least I can use the excuse that thief wasn’t my main. I hope.

As for underground: haven’t had that one in a while (yay!). But it’s always the same in the TS. You can always hear someone recite the mantra during the loading screen: Not dredge! Not dredge! Not dredge!

Hmm… my group happily gets dredge all the time. We had 3 or 4 precursor drop there before (not to me though >.>). For the bomb path, we have a dedicated thief and mesmer who would switch to war and ele for the clown car. I guess I’m just super lucky to find a regular group like that. I cannot imagine how to pug in that fractal

I don’t pug fractals either, but we tend to have rather weird character combinations due to AR limitations, personal preferences professionwise and a limited playerpool in general.
Even so, relogging for the bomb part is not an issue, but people still hate dredge because of the tedious aspects and timesink it represents.
We don’t have had that much luck with drops yet but we usually start a cmpetition about who get’s the most mist shards and/or miner’s bags.
So far I hold the record for shards in my group with a whooping 7 from a single dredge fractal.
Our miner’s bags record is held by a guardian with 86.
