Guild Wars 2

Hey guys and gals,

so I just made my first roaming/duelling video.

The only problem I encountered is the recording software. I tried it with raptr but the starting/saving of the recording sucks hard and some recorded stuff won’t work. Then there was bandicam but my fps always dropped to 15 – 25 so I instantly had to stop recording when fighting someone challenging. That means I couldn’t record about 10 GS warrior fights, a bunch of different thiefs, mediguards, some mesmers, some eles, a 15 min stalemate with a cele d/d ele and much more, which is very sad, because those were the more interesting fights. Can someone recommend me a recording tool?

Well, now to the video, hope you enjoy! (constructive criticism is welcome)

If it doesn’t work in your country, try it here:

And yeah, I know I’m still making mistakes like not waiting for an engi’s block to use entangle but well… Someday it’ll work^^

Interesting setup, you don’t normally associate LB with a condi weapon swap but I suppose it can work. Kinda reminds me of when I tried to make a LB bleeder build with sharpening stone, sharpened edges, and keens edge. It was extremely trollish putting 25 bleed stacks from max range and then running but didn’t work for sPvP obviously.

The biggest thing I want to point out is how you use Barrage.

For the love of all things holy let yourself finish the channel. If you stop it part way through the barrage ends immediately, but if you finish the channel the arrows keep raining for quite some time after you’ve finished shooting. Waiting that extra 0.5 second (since you continually cancel it right near the end) will make a huge difference.

Obviously there can be special cases where you really can’t wait, but in most of the cases I saw in the video you didn’t need you cancel it.

Otherwise quite enjoyable

I run full celestial and I like that combo more than shortbow + sword/torch.

Yeah barrage… I realize it, curse over myself… and repeat it xD I have to pay more attention and don’t panic^^ Thanks for the feedback.

I use Playclaw to record, tis smooth ‘n you barely notice it running. Dxtory isn’t bad either.

If you run a Nvidia card, shadowplay is the ticket. Set it up to record a rolling time window, I use 20 minutes, and then dump it if you have a special moment you want to edit. Also smaller 5 minute windows happen to be more worth while if you are roaming with faster action.
