Pet Peeves In Dungeon runs
I recently got turned down from AC by some chump named “Depending on Mood” because I didn’t have over 5k AP… even though I’m a berserker scholar warrior with all ascended trinkets. o.O
So another pet peeve: people who think that achievements points —> skill. GG.
Guild Master
- Warriors who just run in blind and think they can kill everything, only to get downed within 3 seconds…Had two PuG warriors today trying to do that in CM. So many deaths…
- The Guardian outlook is something I find hilarious: either people in groups see a guardian and expect him/her to tank everything, or rolling a Guardian and trying to tank everything for the team.
- Guardians in groups are sometimes the only reason most people don’t give a crap about dodging. I don’t care if I’m with a group of Guardians, if I see Subject Alpha’s AoEs, I’m itching to hit that dodge button, aegis/protection or not.
- Signet builds, in my opinion, are only acceptable if you use them to ensure you pump out consistent DPS (Signet thieves), but otherwise, using team-oriented utilities is more favorable. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I just don’t see the point in signet builds for warriors (Asked a PuG to switch to banners once and was called an ‘elitist’.) XD
- The LFG Requirements: 80’s only for storymode, Warriors/Guardians only, Heavies only, Ping gear….What the kitten?!
bad guards (soooo many things) and bad mesmers (GS campers, pointless cc usage, not using focus on projectile heavy bosses and covering up fields with feedback when feedback is useless against the enemies)
edit
oh and bad pug ’speedrun’ers
80 warr [Blaze Steelsoul], 80 ele [Blaze Nightstrike], 80 mesmer [Grim Shatterwhirl]
80 guard [Dusk Grimlight], 80 engi [Flintgear]
I guess also people who still think war/mes/guard is still the meta…I tried to join a Coe group the other day with 2 war, a mes, and a guard. I was on ele, so I assumed they’d appreciate the fgs…nope, “war only”.

They just don’t know what they missed The same thing happened to me when I joined a pug with my ranger :P
-Bad Guardians
-Ranged Rangers (longbow and shortbow are you worst dps (but better than mh axe), pls stop.)
-People that join and don’t say they’re new to the dungeon
-People that don’t read the LFG posting
-People that join speed runs but clearly don’t have enough experience (which is shown by them getting lost) and slow down the run significantly
-Guardians that don’t slot reflects or projectile blocks (WoR and SotA) in dungeons that are heavy in projectiles (SE 1 and 3 and boy does that kitten me off. It’s the only reason why I run guardian in ALL dungeons now because I can only rely on myself 80% of the time).
-Mesmers that only camp greatsword and pew pew from a distance
-Full signet anything (rangers, warriors, elementalists, guardians). The only class I will accept with full signets is thief because they don’t have team support skills. Rangers do, Guards sure as hell do, Warriors sure as hell do too.
-Condition builds. Please go power… I don’t care if you’re using knight’s armor with zerker trinkets the damage you’ll do will exceed what your crappy conditions will do.
I was quite confused when i pugged fractals yesterday. We had some guards and they were relatively good, they knew to use WoR and melee bloom. They used WoR for the start of dredge and the turrets. Then when we got to the clown car they stopped using WoR for some reason….
I was the only one chaining reflects and im guessing i was the only one in full beserker so as you can imagine things got a bit painful. I ended up getting defeated for the last 10% of the clown car and despite there being no reflects for the last few groups, none of them took any noticable damage. Rather frustating that they decided to unslot WoR for clown car, no idea why they did that. :/
