Guild Wars 2

Hey man.

For fractal I’d suggest going full viper condi SB / Axe/torch , that’s what I roll with for more damage and a little bit of healing if needed. You can also go power druid and according to metabattle, your weapons+trinkets+chest should be zerk stats while the rest of the armor should be assassin stats.

For raids, most groups will look out for 2 druids. From my experience, one is usually full magi for healing effectiveness and the 2nd one is a condi viper.

So either use:

A new video with a comic reilef regarding our guild has been uploaded, you are welcome to check it out! ^^
There are still slots to fill!

Hello there handsome,

So who are we?

We are an awesome passionate new guild that enjoy each aspect of the game and we look for new social members who look for a main guild and a new family to be a part of
The guild started out as a raid focused guild that was looking out for experienced raid players but due to people getting more connected and having more than your usual raid fun and talk, we decided to take it to the next level.
As for now, we are a growing guild with a guild hall and we keep progressing it.

What are the guild goals?

- Socializing is fun! … was that too cheesy? Anyway, our guild is very active inside and
outside the game, speak of anything you’d like to speak about and enjoy the good
companionship of your non-prejudice guildies, well maybe except for just one…
You are also most welcome to join the guild’s official WhatsApp group!

- Aside from that, we look forward of being a medium-sized guild (30-40 players) as
for right now we currently have 15 active players, one of the reasons is we want to
be very connected to our players and have the ability to know our players and to
have the ability to organize rosters we might use for each feature of the game such
as Raids, Fractal, PvP, Dungeons and way more!

- Weekly Raids!! We clear the raids on a weekly basis.

- Guild hall progress! We will keep upgrading our guild hall in the beautiful Gilded
Hollows for the joy and comfort of our players.

- Dungeon runs, Fractal runs, PvP teams, Guild Missions, Heart of Thorns Meta
event groups and much more you can do with your fellow guildies.
I mean nothing is better than to see bruiser spinning to the ground for the
millionth time with your new brothers!

What are the guild requirements?

- NO NEGATIVITY. We do not look for depressing, toxic, dead-serious people.
Yes, we are goal focused and are serious about our stuff, but we also love to enjoy and talk, if you feel like it’s too much for you, I’d suggest you look for more “Your usual raid guild”.

- About Main Guild Representing – Representation is important to us as we want to become peoples main guild, we do not require you to represent us all the time. What we do want, is for our players to socialize and take part in our activities.

- Raid Requirements&Rosters:
Experienced – Know your stuff – We do not want to have awkward moments and wasted tense on these things.
We’d love to help our members with knowledge of specific bosses and mechanics but as long as they are able listen and learn and are experienced as players.
When we reach a sufficient amount of players in our guild we would have Raid Rosters for the best raiding experience.

- TeamSpeak3:
We have our own teamspeak3 server that we might upgrade further, you are welcome to join and talk with us about anything!

- Be at least 17+ of age to join our guild.
That’s because the majority now is around 20(We got range of 17-23). We suggested that people above the age specified will have more comfort in the guild.

“Meh, How do I join the guild?”

Easy! You can either leave a reply to this post that includes your IGN and age and matched players will be invited to the guild and will be a new brother in the family! or sister, please be a sister… I’m single btw… hi..
Orrrr, you can send a mail to one of the leaders that includes your age and your purpose to join our guild and voila! You are now a Nomad!
You can either send an email to me: “Antalore.4206” or the founder of the guild: “alpness.3105” or the best hot player in the guild: “Grave.5320”

For people who seek fun, action and are experienced guild wars 2 players this is your moment to shine and join the pack of the wolves that will survive better than the house stark wolves for sure!

JOIN THE NOMADS OF THE GREAT TURAN TODAY!

Hey,

I always wanted to have a level 80 engi and especially condition damage one as all my characters are zerkers.
I want to use the 80 boost on an engi and I already have a plan to get viper pistols with magnetite shards and convert my zerk medium armor with viper gossamer insignia.
Now, the problem is that I don’t have sinister trinkets which u can get after u finish living story and some require further achievements(and I HATE living story), nor a viper amulet because I don’t like doing the hot story achievements.
Anyway, I need to also finish the living story for mastery points but it bores me a lot, i’ll probably do it sometime but right now I can aim for rampager trinkets(rabid also), and I want to know if they are viable as well in raids, WvW and if most raid groups would take me if they have seen the gear.
I know it won’t be the max damage situation but can it still be useful in it’s own way and strong?

I repeat again, viper armor + weapons with rampager/rabid(which one is better..?) trinkets(ascended ofc).

Thanks in regards!!

Everyone are welcome to join the friendly new guild for the upcoming HoT Expansion.
We are going to play everything. PVE/PVP/WvW/Raids.
We are looking for players who are willing to help us develop the guild and just enjoy the game

Randulf.7614:

1) yes its precursor you make, but suggestions are some improvements to the whole process

2) new precursors from expac are craftable only and account bound.

3) each new precursor is craftable once. So you can make bolt and a new sword if one is revealed plus 1 of any of the other new precursors

Okay, I got it, thank you very much!

Hey, I got some questions which I would really appreciate to be answered because i’m confused as hell with the upcoming unknown legendary weapons and the precursor mastery. I am farming up for my first legendary for quite a while and about to have all things ready for it except the precursor.

1) This new legendary crafting – It means the precursor mastery trait right? Or are there new possible ways to craft a legendary that doesn’t conclude the other materials other than the precursor?

2) With the upcoming new legendary weapons, the only way to get them is through making the precursor with this new system? Or will I be able to buy the precursor of the new legendary weapons as well? Because if the only way to get the new legendaries are by using the mastery system, it means I can only craft one new legendary.

3) I can only craft a legendary once with this new precursor mastery, would you suggest I use it this time in case i’m crafting Bolt ( Unless i’ll find one of the new legendaries more to my taste).

Thanks in regards.

Cyninja.2954:

I wouldn’t worry to much about which one to get to be honest. Not if you are just starting out.

All Legendarys share certain gifts (Gift of Fortune, Gift of Mastery). Those 2 will already take close to a month of HARDCORE farming if not longer (see http://gw2legends.net/).

HoT will be out by the time you have those gifts completed, and you can then decide what legendary to finish off.

Small hint, don’t burn yourself out on farming gold and mats for the legendary. Very few people finish their legendarys in 3 or less months. It’s a serious gold grind if you aren’t doing other things on the side.

I’m not a starter, I can already craft gift of mastery and almost half-way to gift of fortune.
And i’m planning just to buy the precursor if i’ll prefer it over the new mastery system way so yeah, i’m waiting for the reveal of the new legendaries and in case i won’t like them much, I would like to know which legendary should I go for as i will probably have my legendary not long after HoT release.

And thanks to everyone for replying, and I will try again the double sword revenant on the beta weekend and the druid as well

Qugi.2653:

Maybe wait if you can and see what new legendary are with HoT. You might like better than old one.

Thanks for replying!
I will wait to see if i’ll like something though I understood that the progression of getting those legendaries is a bit different and I hope it won’t be too complicated and painful to do.

Hey all, I need your advice.
I started farming up for a legendary weapon, but I can’t choose which one should I get.
I don’t want end up disappointed with what I chose as it’s really expensive…
I thought about the incinerator(It’s really cool) as I created a thief but now I given up on the thief with the upcoming expansion.

So my main is a ranger and i’m going to create a Revenant with the release of the xpac so those will be my main 2 classes.
Because of that I’m thinking now about creating a bolt as it can be used(as a skin also) on both of the characters and thinking about a revenant charr with dual bolts sounds nice.

Any other suggestions and tips from rangers/future revenants out there?

1) Druid – as a main ranger, it doesn’t include everything I wanted but it got real effort in it and seems really good, hands down.
2) Herald
3) Scrapper
4 ) Reaper
5) Chronomancer
6) Berserker
7) Dragonhunter
8) Tempest
9 ) Daredevil(feels just clunky and disappointing)

Hmmm didn’t think about that.
Well, I hope one of the new legendaries will include a staff among them, cuz i don’t like much the bifrost.
Should be something that has more druid charm in it

Farming up for a legendary T_T
And i realized something…

I totally agree with you man and yet when I compare between me and my friends who play the more “in-meta” classes I enjoy the most out of us playing my thief and.. wait for it… a ranger. Two classes that probably get no love nowadays but I still enjoy them more than other classes because they are challenging and just more fun for me and are having great potential instead of spamming the keyboard as a warrior to keep the highest DPS so easily while tanking or just make tones of clones and get in stealth mesmers that drive people insane in PVP… and when I play those classes I just get bored like my friends.

But seriously, it’s getting to a point where it feels pointless for me, when every other class is getting buffed and just counters whatever it can, the challenge is still there, but it’s becoming unfair.

Well, i always go for SB second set for having the range option.
Cuz ya know, we ain’t stinky warriors, we die in 1 hit (sorry, i had to say that).

Jester.1236:

Honestly it doesn’t matter what they do. 90% of the rangers on this board have there complaints pre loaded and are just waiting for launch. When the reveal happens they will all hate it, want it changed to there particular idea, argue everyone else’s idea is terrible, and then continue the circle of life around here. I actually submitted an idea for the druid, that i think would make the rangers that post here happy, but I’m unsure…. Something like

Staff 1 “Immediate gratification”
Every time this ability is used, a developer is instantly forced to log on and answer what ever petulant whim the player is currently thinking about. Flying? Sure. Dueling? sure. Flying while dueling while your best friend controls your pet from your dual screen keyboard. Sure! Just press button 1 and you can instantly have anything you randomly think of and put on a message board. Don’t worry if it’s an idiotic idea, someone else will be pressing 1 soon to over-wright you!

Staff 2 “Everybody gets a medal”
This is only triggered once you are defeated by a particular boss or class type. Once triggered you simply enter the name of the boss or class in the field presented. The next time you encounter this obstacle, simply press 2 again and it is instantly defeated and you receive a precursor.

Staff 3 “Every class gets better stuff then Ranger”
When you hit staff 3 you instantly gain the abilities of every class in the game. You simply have to scroll through and decide what class you want to play. Don’t worry you can still call yourself a Ranger, and come to this board to complain about every class you can become.

Staff 4 “Chart topper”
This has a pretty decent cool down. But it instantly places your name, and Ranger class in all the top charts for PvP and Speed Running Dungeons and Fractals. You are now the meta for whatever play style you were about to cry about.

Staff 5 “cake”
With staff 5 a cake is delivered to your house to help you over come the years of “trials and tribulations” you’ve “suffered” playing a video game. Also a copy of “The diary of Anne Frank” is delivered with the cake. In case you ever want to see what real trials and suffering are all about.

I don’t know if this will satisfy every ranger on here. But i thought i would give it a shot.

I laughed my kitten off to that, thank you.

Kadin.2356:

Experts at stealth and cowardice, thieves can move through the shadows, vanish into thin air, or steal items from their opponents to utilize in running away. Thieves practice an agile, acrobatic fighting style, which allows them to interrupt fair fights as they have no chance of victory alone.

This is gold.

Thank you A-NET for the rox’s quiver

I spent my money on this game, started getting hyped for the expansion.
Now this game is going to be way more toxic, a lot of bots, spammers.
I bet the things he said wouldn’t make it less worse, and even if it is I can only see the game going downhill from there.
I wish it wouldn’t.

euroz.7190:

http://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Thief_-_D/D_S/P_Shortbow play it, love it, good luck.

P.S PvE survivability is ‘’kill before you’re killed’’

looking good ty

Hey everyone, I decided to use my tomes on a thief, leveling him to 80 and I need a good build for PVE with good survivability.
I want a viable and common build, S/D + shortbow goes pretty good if possible.
Thanks in advance.

I’m still waiting for the Rox’s quiver
PLEASE A-NET

WHERE’S MY SUPERSUIT?

Linfang.1087:

I have a Human female Thief, in a wedding dress, with Kasmeer’s staff. The lulz potential with this Elite will be fun for sure

I’m wondering if the Kasmeer’s staff would go good with the thief, what do you think?

This is so disappointing.
The devs should answer this post to know what’s going on with it at least.

Yeah if it was free they would have told it by now.
ah, not worth 50 euros for me in case it is the price.

Ragnarox.9601:

they said no paid expansion…but i think they will announce 50 euros :/

When did they say that? hope it’s true.
and no way it’s gonna be 50 euros, that’s overpriced for some few nice changes.

They brought some nice features but it can’t be expensive in my opinion.

for PVE and fractals, should i take as secondary to longbow a greatsword or a sword/axe/warhorn
i got full zerk stats so im wondering what’s better because it seems greatsword gives me more precision and ferocity and yet the other set of sword/axe gives more power.

thanks in advance.

Hi everyone!
Got my first Tequatl’s hoard today and i’m super hyped right now.
But i’m not sure which weapon to take, i’m running zerker build with LS/GS and using mostly my LB for it’s doing the most damage, the only problem with the ascended weapons that they focus condition and it’s pretty a bummer but meh.
I want to hear your guys advice in choosing a weapon, thanks in advance!

Can you post the build please?

Hey so I’ve been sticking up with my ranger so far and i enjoy him a lot, got the citadel flame gear and got some exotic dungeon weapons and now i need to farm money for ascended/legendary and complete the whole map and personal story, etc.

But before doing that i want a little refresh with a new character to level up to 80 so i can enjoy both.

I’ve been thinking about Thief/Warrior/Engineer

After watching a lot of thief videos and streams i would like to play that profession, using tactics and strategy looks fun to me

The warrior is pure epic(well at least before the patch, not sure about his state right now), dealing massive damage and being a tank and he has some nice weapons skills.

The engi is pretty fun with a lot of variety and i got the gas mask + slick pack for him in case i choose him ^^

So yeah, i need your guys advice, i like to play every part of the game actually as equal (wvw, pve, pvp) and i want something that’s actually in-meta and really strong because i feel the lack of that with my ranger =/

Thanks in advance guys

LughLongArm.5460:

Hi, from what i understood from the original post, you want the build to be focused around zerker/soldier stats, but with condi damge weapons setup, so here you go:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNMQRAnY8fjEq0yaHL2sw1aAOhqdAUpp8rN1dxmBrcBTOA-T1xHwA9U+N4JAsX9nz7P4V/AgTCATlgkCAilVA-w
When playing an hybrid fruy and might uptime are importent to fill out for missing stats. moreover, you’r not as tanky as condi build and you lack the regen support so you must make good uses of your evades(sigils of energy). the sharpening stone is your filler utility, you can change for sice’m vs thives or SoR vs condi builds. switching RaO for entangle is also an option vs mesmer or if you just feel like it.
the build is best for roaming and open world pve, you can make some twiks and will be vaiable in doungeos and zerg wvw as well(and changing pets to drakes and heal to HS etc..). The coolest thing about the build is the opportunity to use the “poison master” trait. The upcoming patch will make the build even beter with your axe AA might stacking.
Enjoy.

Thank you very much man, i will try this build out, glad to see everything i wanted is possible xD

Benjamin.8237:

PvE builds along the line of 6-5-0-5-0 or 6-6-0-4-0 or around those traits are generally considered meta for pve. I use Sword/ Axe + Warhorn, you don’t need a second sword for your weapon swap so don’t spend time to get one.

For WvW a regen ranger always works well, or you could zerg surf in a 6-6-2-0-0 longbow build, and if you’re interested after the ranger patch 6-6-2-0-0 will be very effective if you position well. Axe/Dagger and Sword/Torch works well in celestial builds too, but since that gear is expensive I suggest you try carrion to start with, and remember Parrot runes go well with most ranger builds.

Thanks
Can you recommend me the traits i should take because i’m not sure.
About the carrion, i’m pretty tired of playing condition ranger and i prefer to deal a better dps.

Here’s the build i’m using right now, can you help me fix it if needed
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fNAQRAnY8fjEq0yaHLGsw1ig9gaVA0cIuWWXg7toJa7SuUDA-TRQYAAw+DAA-e

Hey everyone, i need two builds, one for PVE and one for WVW/PVP

I was grinding a little to get 4 ghastly weapons for the new weapon sets i want to use:
Axe/Dagger + Sword/Torch

And i need a build that focuses zerker/soldier stats with those weapons for PVE and WVW/PVP

I tried using my own build but i feel it doesn’t go well.

Thanks in advance.

You should choose your own game style and the build that you find the most fun for you.
I mostly play as a Zerk in PVE with offensive traits and using signets, quickness and bleed.
As for weapons i’m playing with a Greatsword/Longbow/Shortbow
And the GS/LB combination would be great now after the new patch.
For PVP i enjoy as hell condition build using only traps, could be a pain in the kitten for a lot of players.
And so far i didn’t have one problem joining groups, I’ve only seen once a dungeon that didn’t want rangers.
But rangers can be great support using spirit build though i think they are better as DPS using Zerk stats.
So just play with everything and decide which build is your favorite

Hello fella rangers,
I’m about to get a full flame citadel armor for my ranger(first character)
Though i’m playing a condi trapper ranger mostly because i find it the most fun i think i prefer to go with power and ferocity attributes with the armor.
Can anyone give me a build for both pve and wvw that is a glass cannon build, but i prefer not to play with signets because i find it boring.
My current weapons are GS/SB which i got from playing PVP and opening 2 twilight harbor chests but i can play with other weapon sets if needed.

Have a good day and thanks in advance.

locoman.1974:

Personally I took the slickpack, I missed it the first time around (kitten living story ended up before I though it would and I had only 1 achievement left to get it), and looks great on my charr engineer, even the way it clips with the flamethrower makes it look cool. If I hadn’t gotten the gas mask, though, would have been my first choice.

Other than that, I’m thinking of getting the sovereign longbow skin for my warrior.

yeah, i’v decided to buy the slickpack+gas mask
and that rose for the stats

Clyan.1593:

Difficult. I guess you should find out, which skin in your opinion has the highest adaptivity.
For example, i got tired of the karka shell very fast, because thematically it only fits a necro (my opinion). I never used the dragon helmet, if i remember correctly. But actually it’s quite okay.
Well, can’t and don’t want to decide for you :-)

well actually, i’m farming up for 3200 tokens
i’m going to buy the gas mask for sure, it’s freaking awesome
thinking about going with the slickpack and buy one sovereign rifle
wearing all those as engineer and my life is now complete
and i’ll buy that rose at 400 tokens just for the exotic attributes likely

Orpheal.8263:

take the panda, how dare you to ignore those cute pandas ^^ Everyone needs one xD

With all respect to the panda, i need to look awesome :P

hey all
worked hard to get as soon as possible the prize of 1600 tokens and favor
now i have 2000 tokens and i can’t decide what to buy

I’m confused between buying the karka shell which looks cool AND i can buy the dragon helmet with the spare tokens which i like or buying the gas mask which in my opinion looks kitten and better than the dragon helm but yeah and i will buy the rose which i don’t really like…..

I need your opinions :>

thanks in advance!

Edit: btw, i’m currently playing with my human ranger and about to create another human – engineer if that matters.

Happy weekend everyone
About to get my first character which is a ranger to level 80
and i want to create a second character

What i want from my proffession:
- Viable at all types of game modes: WvW/PvE/PvP
- Variety of skills because the i feel the ranger has a lack of them and that’s why i get bored of my ranger sometimes
- A decent survivability
- FUN (i would like to know which class did you have most fun with of course because everyone has a different view of fun)

By so far i though about creating an enginner or a warrior
The engineer looks pure fun and i really like playing with pistols/rifles/freaking flamethrower and he seems to have variety of skills
And the warrior seems to be nice as well and very player-friendly.

Vitus Dance.4509:

Antalore.4206:

should i just unlock all the skills with the skill points i get or should i save them for later on?

I normally just unlock the skill I want at that particular time – there’s plenty of points available to get them all later anyway.
As for builds…
http://www.gw2db.com/skill-builds/ranger
…is as good a place as any to start

Thank you very much man
It’s a nice website though it’s specific for one set of weapon, and i want to use both GS and SB/LB
So i’m not quite sure what traits to go with.

Hey everybody,

Leveling my ranger(first character) at the moment, i’m level 47.
I don’t know what to spend my traits on though and which skills should i go with.
I enjoy most playing with a GS/SB though i’m using a GS/LB right now so anyone could give me a recommendation for a build which you also find fun.
and if may i ask a question, should i just unlock all the skills with the skill points i get or should i save them for later on?
Thanks in advance and have a good weekend.

Saulius.8430:

i recommend taking math class

it may or may not help you later in life, with finances and stuff

while you are at it get asuran engineer – fits in lore purrfectly

@pvp – guardians are just good for point defence, if they are lucky… while good engineers leave me scarred with nightmares for days

@wvw – both are descent – roles may differ

@pve – both are descent – experience may vary based on guild/pug group, player skill and build

Thanks for commenting.
Asura – engineer sounds awesome, i’ll probably go for it.
And thanks for the tip, math can help you out sometimes(or not).

Hey everybody,

So, i’m leveling my ranger asap to 80.(gonna be my first one).
And i want to level another character to 80 so i won’t get bored with only one class, to have more variety.

After testing few classes i’m thinking about creating either an engineer or a guardian.
I played a little bit an engi and he was fun to play and i love the fact that you have a lot of kits and a lot of things to do while in combat.
On the other hand, i never tried the guardian and after watching some streams he seems to be fun and very strong as well.

I need a recommendation for which class should i open, which one goes better at dungeons, WvW, PvP and i would like to have a recommendation for a race because i’m tired of creating a human all the time :P

Thanks in advance, have a good weekend.

Thanks for posting and a nice video.
You should control and stop the Tssskk you do between sentences though xD

Abrilete.1439:

If you want to use lots of evades, you should consider Sword/Dagger (3 built-in evades).
For swiftness, Warhorn and Bird pets are great.

Thanks and what about the skills? are lighting reflex and zephyr are good?
