Guild Wars 2

I’m sure this has been asked for before but seriously can we just get an npc that sells obsidian shards for karma literally anywhere else than the stupid Cathedral of Glorious Victory event chain that takes forever to pop up and is never complete. I hate having to do the event chain every single time I want some obsidian shards, its tedious and not particularly enjoyable.

I just finished Astralaria (happy dance) for my Revenant and this is a request that I think would be really cool but could we get an effect change on Temporal Rift (Rev Axe 5) to be the same as the sky effect on Astralaria when wielding it. Just an idea if devs read this. Maybe if people like it enough they’ll notice

After some thought and comparing a variety of builds I tried to find a middle ground between tank and damage (I don’t wanna be a tank that deals no damage or a damage dealer that is still pretty squish) here is what I’m going to try out if anyone wants to have a look/critque:

Hrm thats a fair point on the shield. I think I’ll still modify the build to include Herald since I find it really good for buffs and the healing and protection and use off-hand sword if I decide to melee.

Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for! The only question I have is if you’ve experimented with replacing something for Herald for buffs for the party? As well as access to shield if you wanna mainhand sword instead of hammer.

Wondering if anyone has a good PVE tank revenant build? For raids, fractals, etc.

Yep! Having the same problem so cool can’t progress…please fix soon so I can move on to heart of thorns…

Thanks so much for these responses! I have a much clearer idea of what to do now and lots to think about.

Hey guys, returning player (quit about a month after season 2 ended) and getting HoTs. I’m really excited for these two classes and have a mesmer but can’t decide which to play first if someone could give me info on their play styles, party utility, damage, defensiveness, etc. (Specifically PVE, I don’t PvP much). Thanks!

Thanks a lot for the response! That was all the information I needed and then some I might try out D/F then and see how it goes.

I played staff ele for a really long time and got bored and the past few weeks I’ve been trying out a LH build for funsies. This is strictly in dungeons! To start off with I’ve been using this s/f build http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Elementalist_-_S/F_LH

So after using it a while I’ve been wondering about different weapon sets. S/D seems to be a common alternatively to S/F but I’m not entirely clear on the difference, to my understanding S/D has better pre-might stacking than S/F. Wondering if anyone can clear up the difference to me?

Also was wondering about D/D and how it works with a LH build and what are the drawbacks and benefits. Haven’t seen too many D/D builds but it seems interesting enough to try?

Thanks!

I’m bored of the build I’m running at the moment, its nothing special. So I want something fun and different and I like staff and greatsword. Anyone have some fun, interesting, and useful GS+Staff builds. Primarily with PVE in mind please!

Thanks! I used the advice you guys gave and I was able to get the achievement pretty easily.

Can anyone provide some helpful tips for getting the achievement where you have to kill Subject 7 without killing any of the oozes on a Mesmer? I keeping killing an ooze either through reflect or because of my melee attacks.

I’ve been playing this game on and off since release and have an 80 Elementalist and Mesmer and I’m looking for something new to play. I do mostly dungeons/fractals with occasional wvw and pvp. I prefer play styles revolving around team utility and support. I like feeling like I’m actually providing something useful to a group other than dps.

The only class I’m not really interested in is a warrior right now, otherwise open to any suggestions.

Thanks!
