Guild Wars 2

Otherwise you’ll end up like me. I’m a sad panda cuz my arm hurts. A lot.

Last night I was running my faberge cannon ranger in WvW. We on Yak’s Bend were defending Stonemist from the unwashed hordes of Dragonbrand. Seriously, they have cooties for reals and stuff!

Anyway, I prolly spent 8 hours or so in the battlegrounds. And while I sorta took breaks by doing things like running supplies which lets you do a lot less mouse gymnastics while still being very useful to your server (and also while making snarky comments about my feet getting tired from all the running back and forth and wanting to change my name to Pack Dolyak), I didn’t do what I normally do when playing the game which is get up and walk around for a few minutes every hour or so.

So, totally my fault that I hurt now.

Anyway, just wanted to remind my fellow players to always take breaks. Sure, the icky tricksy hobbitses of Dragonbrand might end up taking Stonemist away from you, but you’ll be much healthier in the real world. And healthy in the real world is more betterer than having Stonemist but being all crippled.

I get breaks !

Every time I go downstairs to get another beer or some snacks. (well at least when the wife isnt downstairs anyway)

;)

reminds me of the wow episode in south park.. haha

Other than the wife part, that’s usually how I take my breaks except add in more stretching and stuffs. But I was just having so much fun turning Dragonbums into pincushions that I forgot about little things like food and drink.

Actually, that’s one little feature I miss in GW2 that was in GW1… that little reminder that popped up on your chat screen every hour or so. I easily lose track of time while I am playing, and it’s good to step away from the game to stretch and do someting else now and then.

Hope your arm feels better soon!

Always good advice. You mentioned playing a ranger. On my ranger I went from shortbow/traps (condition build) to longbow power/crit as I noticed the RSI inducing aspects of the build given long-term play. Great build, just didn’t work for my body. I imagine I would have a problem with a grenades engi as well.

I run longbow axe/warhorn on my ranger. And really the axe/warhorn part is more about getting from point A to point B than any real fighting give just how much damage I can spit out with the longbow. The exception being mesmers for whom axe’s bouncy attack keeps illusions at bay.

Oh, and I have a grenades engineer. If Anet hadn’t nerfed it into the ground, I might very well have killed the 1 button on my Naga.
