Guild Wars 2

Ok, thanks for answer!

Still waiting for someone that can confirm about ghostly effect.

Hello, got a few questions regarding this subject.

Ghostly Infusion,
1 – Do they get bound once they are attached to a gear?
or are you able to detach it and resell it on TP when you dont want it anymore?

2 – Will the effect be visible with an outfit on? (asking for both shoulder and ghostly)

Thanks!

Alright then its settled!
Thanks everyone who made it clear :]

I see, but what if i have 99.9% crit rate, self buffed.
And dual wielding, and with impossible odds that’s kinda 3-4 hits per sec.

So im sorta only doing critical hits, in a very fast pace.
Does that change anything or 10% damage is still better?

Hello,
As title says,

I’m just wondering whats most recommended to go here for pure DPS purposes.
From the Deva traits, Vicious Lacerations or Ferocious Strikes?
I want to get as high Ferocity as possible, and 150 gives me 10% more, making it a total of 248% in combat (with “Embrace the Darkness” from mallyx) activated, which is great!

But then again 10% damage is great aswell.

Any suggestions?

Dosent that depends on the group?
If there already are support roles that perma stack might, whats the point with glint?
Id focus more on damage then which would be mallyx for 10%

The successor of Arthas ;o

Hello,

I recently started a rev class and when i reached Herald i followed the Meta, and got myself a zerker armor with STR runes, learned the rotation perfectly with Glint/Shiro.

But i’ve noticed over time that my boon stacking wasen’t really that needed in fractals/raids because there’s always another support class that deals with that.
And truth be told, i dont care too much about it when i solo, which isn’t too often anyway.

The role i wanted to play as was a pure damage dealer in my group, so wouldn’t it be more logic for me to switch to scholar runes and simply go with Shiro/Mallyx?
The 10% to all stats from mallyx shouldn’t be taken lightly, the power/crit dmg/crit rate, it’s quite a difference, really amazing.

And when it comes to the runeset, i know that my health ain’t gonna be over 90% most of the time, but is it worth it because of the crit damage?

Like i said, i want to dash out as much DPS as possible for the group rather than supporting with boons.

So judging from my play style, should i just go with mallyx & scholar runeset?

Appreciate any advice!

Thanks for info, should probably ask the devs just in case tho.

Hello!

I recently started with a Herald Zerker, running Shiro/Glint.
And the combination requires me to tap about 5 buttons at the same time at one point which is fine, but would be much less of a hassle by doing so with 1 click.

And i love the game, so i really wanna avoid getting banned.
So my question here would be, is it legal to use a Razor keyboard which have macro features? allowing you to bind multiple buttons with 1 click.

I mean it’s a gaming keyboard, but if i understand it correctly, the macros are created with a program that comes with the keyboard, and a third program is kinda what worrying me.

So if anyone has an answer , or should i ask through a ticket?

Thank you.

Appreciate the answers,

I guess i took the achievements the wrong way in this game, and was simply used to world of warcraft or any other MMORPG, which uses a system of “0/4500” total progress.

From now on i’ll simply prio the completion of the achievements rather than the amount of achievement points, which is nonsense and more of a ladder rank in my opinion.

My goal will still be to achieve every achievement up to100%, after that i cant really do much else, and i suggest the same thought to the other achievement hunters out there.

PS, im not a new free2play player, i do have a celebration hat ;o

Only reason i posted here was because the devs recommended me to.

Items and AP are two different things.

Dailies will eventually get capped at one point (which i already mentioned), which is possible for everyone to do.

Please stop with the exaggerations, still waiting for an answer from the devs.

Malediktus.9250:

Because then the AP leaderboard would be pointless and everyone had about the same AP in the top 1000.

If achievements in this game is counted as a ladder feature, then they might aswell just change the name of it.

Hello,

A Question to the Devs, regarding missable achievements that awards with points.
Obviously its set for a reason so my question would only be, why exactly?

The achievements that can’t be completed today (Historical) awarded you with points, now the amount of points will differ for each person depending what you missed/when started playing.

To make it fair like most MMORPG’s, why dosent the historical ones converts into non-ap valued ones?
They’ll still be there, as a proof that you once completed it. But the points should be removed so it becomes fair for everyone in the end.

If you obtained all achievements, there should be a “specific” amount of points.

Lets say that two people completed all achievements to 100% (including capping dailies), in other words. they did equal work to reach their goals.
But one ends up having 26.540 Points, while the other one ends up with 24,850. Only because one of them started alittle bit earlier.
I mean, should really achievement points be exclusive? Is it gonna prove the hard work and effort you put down to it, or the time you’ve spent?

World of Warcraft have a similiar feature with their achievements, once they become “unavailable” for players. They get converted into “non-points value” (Feats of Strength)

A proof that you once completed it, and thats it.

Im just saying, if a person completed all achievements then its only logic for that person to have obtained a certain amount of points (max)
Now theres no proof from players that they achieved all, because the amount of points is mixed for everyone anyway.

Ofcourse this wont change anything, only because of my pity message, but i would just really appreciate an answer from you guys, if you understand what i mean here, and why it isn’t like that?

Not really looking for any players opinion here, just an answer from the devs, since this couldnt be explained as a ticket.

Thank you very much.

Ahh i understand, well ill keep that in mind :]

And i gotta say , i LOVE the new feature where you can store your skins,dyes,pets and everything is now account bound :] i had so many dyes on my alt that i was ready to delete :p really sweet news!

Thanks alot! Really appreciate the help!

Isnt it possible to just dismiss the pet during stealth stage tho?

Im sorry, but by deeps you mean dps right?

Thanks alot for quick replies!
If it dosent matter too much id strongly go with Sylvari just for one reason, looks really good in hellfire set :p combining that with the Fiery Dragon Sword will probably melt my brain :P

Thanks guys!

Hello, ive been taking a long break, and now kinda feel like starting again, fresh with a new character.

The problem is ofcourse to find the class/race. I wanted to use the opportunity to use my Fiery Dragon Sword skin from HoM.
I was checking out Rangers and notice that alot of people recommended 1h sword by far, if you wanted to maximize your DPS. And this was apparently proven with math and not baised opinions. After seeing people soloing arah with it, i became convinced. 1h Sword/Warhorn it is!

Im not a complicated person, i go with what most people recommend. I know that it requires a certain way of playing to survive in this game. But having some sort of plan instead of going down the complete wrong path is somthing i want to avoid

So a build for this set is highly appreciated. (PVE)
• Sword/Horn, full zerker. (will probably add more as i see fit in different situations)
• Pet choices?
• Race choices? (Are racial skills important at all in the end game?)

And please try stick with the topic and avoid kitty fights :p

And if for some reason i was reading outdated information and it actually sucks now, please do recommend a class with a sword as primary weapon.

Thank you!

Any response regarding this? Is it somthing that can be fixed?
Best would be if they could keep glowing no matter what.

No one else bothered by this?

Hello,

Gonna have to point out that it might not be a bug, rather a question.
How come Corrupted Skeggox (Axe) is glowing while Corrupted Cudgel (Mace) isnt?
(while they arent in use)

I dont really understand why they stop glowing at all but since thats the case, shouldnt both stop once i stow them?

Either glow or dont, looks weird if one is and the other aren’t.

Any answer is appreciated.

Interesting, could you perhaps name why its better to go with 30/10/10/10/10, what traits will increase the damage?
I only see a huge loss of Precision and Crit Damage by skipping Air.

Appreciate an answer!

I think its leaning on 30/20/10/10 then, for both 10% dmg.

And also, what sigil was recommended in weapon? Fire, is that Aoe really doing any good?
Or 5% damage from Force, seems good.

Hello,

I just reached Lv80, and will now start experimenting with the options of my character.
Its already settled that im going as zerk, i often use Fiery GS with Rush/Lightning, but also ofcourse using my regular skills from staff.

Sigil choice.
Im debating between Fire or Force, (will use bloodlust on a secondary to stack power)

Traits.
I was certain to go with 30/30/10/0/0
But then i saw that water also had “10% DMG if health is above 90%” just like Earth if you stay within 600 range. (which i often do and for the main reason, GS Rush)

So if i remove 10 points from Air, and adds those into water, it will be a battle between the following.

5% Crit Rate & 10% Crit Damage
VS
10% Damage (if health is 90%+)

Really appreciate an answer!
Im not sure whats worth risking for what, damage wise, and how much crit rate u’ll have anyway with full zerk gears, perhaps trading away 5% CR for 10% damage is better at that stage? And its also those 10% crit damage aswell, which should be noticeable?

What do you think?

Thanks!

Hi, im quite new to the game and i just saw that Fiery Rush from GS is leaving a line of aoe.

Wiki:
The line of fire left behind by the rush is comprised of a line of small AoEs that each tick damage independently. As such, the fire will deal more damage the larger the enemy’kittenbox.

Now i was just wondering if there is any possibility to increase aoe radius, Traits? Gears?

Appeciate an answer as soon as possible!

This is quite weird actually, everything is solved and good, but i just have to say this anyway because it clearly looks like a bug so it dosent get abused.

I created this account when GW2 came out, as Display Name “Escoph” – Linked to GW1 for HoM points.

I wanted to make a new Account for the Display Names sake. (Arccai)
So i bought a new key to be able to do so. (But i didnt want to lose my GW1 Linking)

But now somehow after doing this.
Register>Link Account.

Typed in the new Serial Code, Email and Pass, choosed the new Display Name on page2, then clicked Accept, and a message came up saying.

Serial Code Overlap
The serial code has already been applied to your account.

So that didnt work, and a few minutes later i notice my Display name here on the Forum has changed, and 15 min after, it changed in-game aswell!
And the weird part is, the key hasent even been used yet!

Its still useable, and i am able to continuesly recreate my Display name by doing this.

Im not complaining at all, i bought a new game, i got a new display name, that was my goal by doing whole thing, and the best part is that i dont have to get into the problem with Linking, since this is my first account and its already linked.

But clearly it aint suppose to be like this so, id like to report it.

Thank you.

Hmm i see, but can i link it after creating this new GW2 account? or it has to be done when creating it? Do i have the option to link once im logged into my new account?

Hiya,

My old GW account is linked to my GW2 account, but i decided to go with a new display name, so i bought a new game, and i was just wondering if im still able to link my old GW account to this new one aswell?

Will i be able to link it after i created my GW2 account? or that has to be done through Register>Link Account, directly?

What exactly will happen to my GW1 email adress, if this gets linked to my new GW2 account with a different email?

Thanks, appreciate it!

Ohh yea then i understand ya, yes thats all correct.

Fror.2163:

Your character is a big fat norn in your client only. On the server, it’s a box of the same size as your most tiny thinest asura. I know it ’cause I tested the distances with both my asura and my norn.

I might have misunderstood this, but are you saying that what i see on my screen, is differently from what other people sees?
I highly doubt that, how come ive seen skinny, muscle, fat Norns before then?
If its only a view you can see yourself, then every class would be the same, only differences in height, which aint true, the physique is also visible for all, and not just a client feature.

And the weapon scales by those 3 options, i never mentioned anything about range.

Hello,

Im not sure if theres anyone caring about such thing but i was one that did,
If the weapon’s size changes depending on which options you pick when creating your character.
There were a few threads back in 12/13 about this subject, and no one couldnt really confirm.

My question was if there was any size differences, depending on your character, and everyone said different, but its confirmed now, the weapons scales by 3 options.

1. Race, which is obvious.
And the 2 first Body Features, when creating your character.

The Height & Physique.

Physique was quite tricky but its more than noticeable.

These two Norns has the same height, but one using the slim physique, and the other using the strongest physique.

Notice the length of the sword.

So if theres anyone else wondering about such thing, heres your answer.
Are you planning on wearing the biggest greatsword in the game?

Well, Norn>Max Height>Strongest Phy, it is!

/cheers.

Hello
I was just curious if its possible to change the Display Name (for personal reasons)
If not, then would it be possible to somehow delete my entire account for the key to become unused, and therefore being able to use it to create a new account instead?
I have 0 characters anyways, and i want a fresh start with a new name.

Or do i have to buy a new key just to do this? and let this current account go to waste?

Thank you, appreciate an answer!

Depends how you play :] Thats the beauty with gw2.

Right now im at a Lv75-80 map, with only lv60 gear without any problem, 1 level to go before i gear up with entire 80 exotic gears.

Really? I usually 3 hit the enemies in my own level, while i seen thiefs and warriors kinda take their time to take them down.

Im old fashioned, i always found mage to be the weakest character in all fantasy games, but have the strongest power because of it.
And therefore to keep their foe in a distance, with brutal power, trying to avoid him to get near you. To trade away that power to be able to survive alittle more means ull be in the middle, wont take as much damage, and wont survive like the warriors. So its just to accept that mage are weak, but we can bring out what other classes cant. So you see my point?

Im gonna focus for raw power, most power of all classes, Berserker’s Exalted set with Scholar runes, no other gear will top that kind of power.

And for Superior Bloodlust, i had no idea you could swap, im gonna have to buy 2 of the same exotic staffs, so it will feel more like switching runes only when swapping weapons. When i got 25 Stacks , click for air rune :]

If i get around 60% crit chance, ill probly go for scholar runes.

Hmmm question about the 2 sigils Bri mentioned, which one does most damage? if im only after 1 target hit.

But i gotta solve one thing at time, i gotta figure out first which runes benefits best on my gears at Lv.80

Ranger
Power : 0
Precision : 165
Crit DMG : 8%

Ruby Orb
Power : 100
Precision : 70
Crit DMG : 10%

Scholar
Power : 165
Precision : 0
Crit DMG : 8%

Notice that Ruby Orb keeps it balanced, but im afriad that ill have 60% crit without any runes anyway, because the Lv80 exotic adds plenty itself, and the accessorys/rings/amu etc.

So lets just say, IF i get around 60% without any runes, why keep focusing on crit?

Would Ruby Orb suit most to increase it slighty more and get most Crit DMG out of all runes, + fair amount of power?

or simply going for pure power and 8% crit dmg?

What do you guys think?

And what Sigil would that be? I was thinking bloodlust at first for 250 extra power at 25 stacks.

Hope you dont mean anything that runs by condition damage, because i dont focus on that since im a staff user, and theres only 1 skill that runs by that. Im already settled what gear im gonna use.

But then again, if i do get 60% crit or around that, without those runes, ill might aswell just go with scholar runes, that adds 185power/10%crit dmg.

If i have enough crit chance, why not focus on raw power only? it feels like i crit all the time with even 48%.

60% would be almost everytime, atleast it feels that way, and without power, the crits wont do so much anyways,

Ah, my bad, it takes up 5 slots only, so ill still have 1 Ruby.

Power : 120
Precision : 84
Crit DMG : 12%

VS

Power : 20
Precision : 179
Crit DMG 10%

Hmmmm, anyone wanna recommend?

Im thinking, those 100 extra power wont do much of a difference anyway because of the damage from weapon.
And 2% Crit DMG? is it noticeable?

But, the huge difference in Precision.
Hmm maybe im blind, or is it obvious what to choose?

Hmmm u might be right. I will get alot of damage from the weapon anyways, and theres no limit of how much power i actually need, but precision there is. I would be happy with 60% crit chance, maybe it would be smarter.

Lets see , ill trade away

4% Crit DMG
120 Power

For 81 Precision.

When looking at it, it dosent seem like its worth it, but the more crit, the higher dps i get, and not to mention i do get a huge damage boost from any exotic lv80 staff anyways.

I might be going that way instead, thanks for that info.
Appreciate it.

Thanks for that infomation, i had to make sure since theres no further steps after lv80, why not get the best directly if u have the money hehe

Thanks alot for the answers,
Hmm i might have to check this out myself, but cant hurt to ask in the meanwhile.

What kind of upgrades is most effective to reach Power/Precision/CritDMG as high as possible?

For accessory/amu/ring.

Exquisite Ruby Jewel , correct? nothing higher exists?

25 Power
15 Precision
3% Crit DMG

And the pieces for armor. What i believe is Ruby Orb? (same there, if you know any higher that exists, do tell)

20 Power
14 Precision
2% Crit DMG

And so heres my question, there are 6 armor pieces total. Making the end result look like this (through upgrades only)

120 Power
84 Precision
12% Crit DMG

Is there anything (superior runes etc) that makes the end result gets any higher than this? (of the 3 bonuses)

I seen the value of some runes, gotta be for a reason right?
But higher than this?
Anyone knows?

Appreciate it!

Hiya,
I been using Power/Precision/Crit DMG gears since i can remember, im a staff user and love it, but to the case of this thread, im getting near lv70 now and gonna get ready for 80 soon so as usual i checked the auction for this type of gear, but before i buy them with all the upgrade components, i really wanna make sure what the highest lv80 gear really is from, if its obtainable through auction , or theres even with higher bonus of this specifik type somewhere else?

for example, lv80 exotic chest (light)

101 Power
72 Precision
5% Crit Damage

So theres no light chest with higher bonus than this , correct? this is max?
In that case the best current set for people that gathers these 3 bonuses, it would be “Berserker’s Exalted”

If anyone have any info if theres higher, how its obtainable, please do share that info.

Hiya,

I was just wondering, if i unlearn my traits at a trainer, do i have to buy the training manuals once again?

Or Adept/Master & Grandmaster will already be opened for use? If i have unlocked it before the reset.

Thanks alot for the answer, exactly how i wanted it to be like, this is a matter of taste. Some people really hate the disadvantage in world vs world, but in my opinion, its just as fair as the other type of pvp, every single player can obtain everything in this game like anyone else, what requires is work, the gear you obtain can finally show results on monsters and players :]

Hiya,

I was just wondering , what kinds of pvp are there in this game?

Theres one where you start with a “pvp starter set”correct? and as you continue to follow that road, ull obtain better n better. But these gears disappears as soon as you go out from this pvp world, correct?

Was there one where you only are able to use your regular gear in?
The gear you obtain through the pve world (main i would say) in that case, whats that called?

Appreciate the information!
Thanks.
