Guild Wars 2

Everyone talks about them. But which pots to use? Help appreciated :>

I would assume they would be talking about the utility consumables. Potions of X slaying. Example CoF potions of flame legion slaying or scarlet armies slaying.

That’s what I’m talking about. Is there a list? :>

Its Potion of X Slaying. The more powerful version will give you a 10% dmg bonus against that type of enemies, and reduced their incoming dmg by 10%.

AC : There is no potion of graveling slaying and the only potion of ghost slaying is so expensive that nobody use it. In that dungeon, most ppl use sharpening stone or other stuff like that.

CM : Potion of Outlaw slaying will work for pretty much all the enemies in the dungeon.

TA : Potion of Scarlet’s army slaying or Potion of Nightmare Court slaying.

SE : Potion of Dredge slaying and Potion of inquest slaying will work here. Its a bit trickier here since enemies alternate between the two. Path 1 will be Inquest all the way, while Path 3 will be mostly dredge, except of the final boss which will need a potion of destroyer slaying. I don’t use the destroyer potion since its only for 1 fight. Path 2 I think its mostly dredge, but I don’t do this path often so I’m not sure.

CoF : Potion of Flame legion slaying will work for all path.

CoE : It can be the trickiest one. You will need to switch between inquest and undead slaying. But since subject alpha is undead, I tend to only use undead slaying here.

HotW : I don’t do the path often enough to care about the potion here, but Icebrood and Son of Svanir potion work on different enemies that alternate throughout the dungeon.

Arah : Undead slaying for all path.

Always helpful when you have a dungeon related question.

Thx Gusie :>

Does everyone use them?

If people aren’t they are missing out on a +10% (max) damage increase and a -10% (max) damage reduction

Regarding the Stones in AC, I believe they don’t actually work there because of the scaling.

I always use them but I think a lot of people forget or just don’t bother.
I usually have maintenance oil for dungeons like CoE and AC or when I don’t have the right potion.

Correct, sharpening stones give 0 power in AC… Since maintenance oils have almost no effect there, just use skale venom.

Most pugs I see don’t.

I have a few for some dungeons but most are too much hassle to use/bring. I always carry undead potions btw.

As long as I remember to keep ’em stocked yeah, always embarrassing not having them.

It’s Dredge up until the last boss (duo golems) which are inquest, the most mileage you’ll get out of potions in SE is doing paths 3-2-1.

if you’re a cheap kitten like me, stock up on a full stack of potions that are 1 tier down (+9%/-8%). You only lose out on 1% damage and best of all, it costs mere coppers.

If you’re an addict like me, get full stacks of +10% potions for all the dungeons. You’ll probably make the same amount of gold spent on potions in one day, with potions lasting you around few months.

Time to start taking magic find food into AC since power does nothing :P

Spend 1 day worth of dungeon tokens on potions and you ll have enough to last for several months worth of dps increase and dmg reduction. Seems like a fair tradeoff for me. Fractals are a bit more costly since you either have to craft those potions or buy them from the TP and more often than not they are rather expensive like Grawl, elemental and demon slaying potions.

Maintenence oils should provide about at least 3% crit chance in AC. Thats gotta be better than nothing right?

For some reason never got a sticky, probably cause it’s “just” Dungeon Forum.

The way the scaling work is that if you reach a point then any additional points won’t really help you once you are scale down. But I think that maintenance oils can work. Its mostly sharperning stone that have a problem. If you have a lot of power, you can be in ascended gear with sharpening stone, you will have pretty much the same amount of power in AC someone with exotic gear. The lower level you are scale down, the less advantage you get from those things.

Would it be worth flipping them?

Flip them? What do you think this is, the Black Lion forum?
