You had a bad day struggling in fractals or what is the goal behind this troll post?

Sigh and I fell for it and clicked on one of the builds >.<

Hahahaha I wish.
As you can see, I generously pointed out that I slightly spend a little more time in the fractals than the average player might have. It wasn’t just one bad day and I wrote this just for fun, without insulting anyone. If it’s not your humor, then I’m fine with you giving me 0/10. Otherwise I suggest you shouldn’t rate other peoples opinions and ask them nicely what makes them say that / try to understand them.

I’m sorry to hear that Sarahfull, though I can assure you that you won’t find a build for the fractals that fits in every situation perfectly. See, there might be some really effective builds here, but they rarely consider how a player actually fights in combat. One might be really aggressive, another rather defensive. Even small decisions like dodging forward or backwards can affect how someone engages an enemy and what he/she does to constribute and how his team should react. Many enemies in the fractals are nothing alike and have different weaknesses also, so knowledge is the key.

So the only good tip I can give you, is to adapt to the situation, don’t stick with just a few choices, try out every weapon and have fun.

Interesting. Please just call me Sarah though. I’ve made fractals my home in gw and have learnt alot about it’s in’s and out’s ( insert here the normal played for 4years etc, etc).

Anyway, while what you say is true. You can stick with 90% of the same build for all the fractals if you know where to active defence. Yes you should change 1 or 2 triats here and there and some classes even a whole line although for the most part 90% of a build still holds true.

XD I fell for it. I should have known.

at the start i thought this was legit then i saw he had a link for each class rather than just the necro and figured it out

yo like I’m in the same boat im not sure why. I thot I read his op? mayb not I might’ve not read his bullet points thoroughly, then I click on build for warrior. yeah so i thot it problem on my end.. like unsupported browser or maybe cos I’m on mobile idk?? Ok so I admit i like your unique insight on build.. it’s a lot diff from other build sites like metabattle (at least from last patch). But overall prty solid good work, I did learn something at least

PS u want to make it better troll post, and yes it’s a highly polished one now but, if u delete ur bullet points since no one read them anyway, then it will be genuine one. I give 8/10 until this fixed

wait so i didnt get to see the op cuz its delete but was it like a guide for every class linking to viper horror 9 times? seems legit automatic 8/10 if this is the case

A moderator didn’t find it funny apparently and thought that my build suggestions are useless. Oddly enough, there are a few hundred other topics created that are nothing but complains with no arguments and not even remotely funny. Shrug

Wait? You were trying to be funny? O.o

I thought it would be clear when I promised that this build would even ignore gravity, but apparently people click on the links first and read the rest later o.o
All of the builds also only had nothing but the downstate traits in them.

Ah, wish I had seen this earlier – could have done with a laugh.

I agree OP, it is a shame when there are threads only full of moaning/whining that stay there but to have have a good joke post removed, but I suppose it could have a negative influence on new players (to the game) reading it?

The thing is the joke was at first very old for this part of the forum (already had such threads) and second not funny at all.

Nah he linked builds with only 1-2 traits and trait lines selected for the most parts, that’s about it. The traits mostly were the “on downed” and/or “on falling damage” traits of each respective class.
