Guild Wars 2

Hello, I’m slowly working on my ascended sets and looking for some agony resist number to aim for. I know that from the 21-50 range, fractal 40 almost always has groups farming it. So I’m wondering which of the higher level fractals also get farmed on repeat as well. Thanks

I think the most popular are 56 or 67, my personal favorite is 67 but some group might find mossman harder so they do bloomhunger (56) instead

But one of the reason 40 is a more popular farm is because the chest is a boss chest, which have higher chance a core/exotic.

Swamp is always quick and easy so I guess I can understand that. Do people still farm any of the boss fractals in the harder range too, or does everyone just come down to 40 for that?

You only get 1? extra encryption from level 80 Molten duo, and the instability is much worse, with triple the HP, so people stilll farm 40.

If you have the agony resistance: 56-67-77 (Bloomhugner, Mossman, Mossman).

If you are lacking ar, you can run 56-60-67 (Bloomhunger, Jade Maw, Mossman).

If you dislike Jade Maw with exploding enemys you can run 56-67-70 (Bloomhunger, Mossman, Jade Maw).

51 56 67 is way faster.

Yes, because people love snowblind post 50.

We are talking about what people run in pugs.

ps. sry, didn’t check the instability (exploding enemies). Troll confirmed

Well, they need to learn how to do it, instead of standing on the roof of mossman.

Don’t complain about pug if all you do is the same as them.

Lots of people run 51, 56 and 67 actually.

Snowblind isn’t terrible with a half decent team, in spite of the instability.

I do try to convince all the people I play with to spam shaman (my favourite), but only my friends of 1-2+ years actually concede :/
… after all that time, one can say they’re immune to my bullkitten.
I shall attempt guild converting.

Snowblind is perectly fine.

And after 2.5 years of runnign regularly with pugs through fractals it’s one of those rare fractals, where when low skill meets bad luck, it can turn you off of fractals for good.

Snowblind is that one fractal which you can power through with a good team or spend 30 minutes with pugs until the group dissolves. Especially now with the elemental regenerating to 100% after wipe.

Love Grawl, was never that bad since I used to run Mesmer or Guardian. That being said, it draws equal to snowblind in the “if you get a bad group” department. Literally the only fractals I can remember ever leaving after a dedicated amount of time of wiping.

51 56 67 is the best one. For the instability in snowblind you only kill 1 mob (last boss) so it’s the same like on bloomhunger.

It is not so much the easy ones..people just don’t run the annoying ones.
Once you get to snowblind 74 or 86 you begin to see why people don’t run them.
They are long, a lot of things can 0-90% hit you in rapid succession. The elemental is annoying. The bonfires extinguish super quick. The whole thing resets if you wipe. It is like thermonova..it long, a lot of things one shot you and the final boss has one of the largest HP pools in game. In the time takes to run it, you could have run 3 swamps in more straight forward manner.

51 is not 74 or 86

I honestly don’t know why they thought the new system would be better – the way it is now some of the fractals are never worth doing and are a miserable experience.

It shouldn’t be the case that I should only look forward to getting some fractals done only because I never want to touch them again.

Adding more dailies would make the problem less aggravating (why the kitten isn’t there a 71-100 daily, huh? why are there only 2 “singular” fractal dailies and they’re always pathetically low level?), but god forbid people get more Dangling Chests of RNG Wonders.

Thanks for all the responses! Fractal 67 is only 91 agony resist, which seems like a relatively budget option to aim for with just trinkets, just needing +7 versatiles and +9/10 agony resists in my infusion slots.
