Guild Wars 2

Hello

About me
- Bloke from Norway
- I’m a veteran player since first beta weekend of GW2.
- I have been playing WoW, Lotro, AoC and SWTOR.
- I love challenging content – raids, challenge modes, fractals and PvP.

Why am I looking for a new raiding guild?
- I am looking for a raiding guild as my current guild has lost many of its core players during the summer holidays with no intentions of returning back to the game.
- I like all aspects of the game – PvP, PvE and WvW. However my main emphasis is content progresion in PvE and thus endgame to me is raiding or end-tier fractals etc.

What can I bring?
- Mesmer (Chrono dps/tank)
- Guardian (DH dps)
- Elementalist (DPS Temp)
- Revenant (DPS or Kite)
- Ranger (Drood)
I have full light and heavy legendary armor. Currently working on my 3rd set.

I can raid during weekdays (pref mondays as start due to raid resets, but also weekends with flexibility). I too, such as others, got real life commitments and thus it would be nice to be in a guild who values those commitments from time to time.
I also use Discord, TS and Ventrilo.

Please do contact me here or in-game – Arothen.9842.

Kind regards
Arothen of House Awesome (GoT Geek)

I might be late, but I’ll give it a try anyway. Revenant – Herald here (full asc+leg gear), same with DH. Love to join, even if it is as a substitute!
Hoping for a positive reply anytime soon

Hey everybody!
Thought I’d give a short description about myself. The name is Arothen (call me Aro). I’ve been playing GW2 since the first beta and been an extreme fan of PvP ever since. I aim quite high when it comes to PvP and don’t stop until I have achieved my goals.
Last season I got to Div 6, in between a relative died irl so I took time off the game. I am now back, but my team has gone missing (as in hasn’t logged on for over a month). For that reason I am in need for another team.

I play Mesmer, Guardian, Ranger and Necromancer. I know these classes pretty much inside-out, and I have rather a long experience with the other classes- may it have been during fights or playing them somewhat in PvP.
I consider myself as an optimistic fellow who enjoys the gameplay, but also the strategy part of it. I like teams who communicates (use voice-programs), and who are well-coordinated.
I play the game pretty much everyday- mostly during the evenings. Weekends = GW2 only!
If you are interested in a fellow team member, please contact me ingame: Arothen.9842. I am more than happy to have a chat or play some games!

Thanks for reading (hopefully you got this far without clicking back).

I have to admit, I am enjoying the DH now – at least more than last BWE. The damage is quite nice at a distance (ty so much for the velocity), and I felt this is something I could use in PvE, however I don’t believe I will ever use DH+traps in PvP. I’ve been playing least 15 matches through this event so far, and I havent seen one guardian using traps, which reason I feel is justified by many already.
I played some PvE events/storyline using LB and my overall ‘usual utility skills’, that being Shouts or mixture. But I can’t seem to get my head around these traps. Just feel the CD is too long and the fact you have to wait for mobs to run into these traps which doesn’t feel like my time worth. I’m still against traps and I most likely will be in the future. Though I will use LB – whenever it may require in fights.

TLDR: Lonbow is awesome now (GJ Karl), traps still blows > I will pretend LB is the only thing NEW that came with guardian into HoT.

Would anyone else be in favor of…

Wings of Resolve being a stun-break (and also an evade during the animation), even if it meant weakening the heal somewhat?

Shield of Courage causing knockback either once in an aoe when activated, or else on an appropriate ICD when blocking melee attacks (which it definitely needs to do)?

It seems as though the new Virtues are really meant to be an integral part of the Dragonhunter’s playstyle and are supposed to replace, to some extent, the Guardian’s normal reliance on utility skills for survival, movement, and/or extra damage. As they currently stand, however, they’re really too weak to properly fulfill that role. These seem like quick changes that would fix that issue.

Like this idea ^

Karl… you just dont get it….do you? Revamp the bloody DH.. this is ridiculous compared to the other classes…. AT least make it worth playing! Have you even tried fighting as DH against the others in this spec? I bet the results would be terrible…

Code=7:11:3:191:101 – same error! Its been kittening me off so much. Can’t even play any parts of ANY game without a sudden DC. It happened after that new patch the other day (2-3 days ago)… Arenanet – FIX this asap!

So you guys reckon that going full zerker is the most optimal way to be as guardian in PvE and WvW, as for someone who likes to deal damage?
Just dont see how 11k of health will…..‘improve’ me :P

I now went back to Soldiers set with zerker weapons (GS/Scepter+Torch) and PVT Staff for WvW reasons obviously. Keeping 3/6 trinkets to Zerk and easily swapped with 6/6 soldiers if needed. Feeling MUCH better again <3

I know this has been a debated conversation for a while, but I’d like to get an opinion from my fellow guardians regarding this matter. Post-patch I see majority of guardians out going full zerker gear in addition to condition damage to effect burn dmg.
Due to this I am wondering if Soldier stats (Toughness, Power, Vitality) is still the optimal way to go. I tried changing my gear to full zerker, and yes the damage is great, however with 11-13k health pool and feeling so squishy, is it really that optimal in PvE in the long run?
And regarding WvW, when metabattle as well as own experience tells me to go for Soldier gear, is going zerker worth it? Personally I’d avoid making two sets of armor for PvE and WvW, and I am currently struggling to see what benefits the most after this patch. A word of advice?

I am really wondering whether Sinister-stats is the way to go. I see a lot of people recommending pure zerker in “condi-build”.. however how on earth is that affecting burn damage when it clearly is not based on power, but condi dmg?

My Garnet leaper didnt work! So kitten ed right now! The chest didnt work at all.. after working my butt in there to get the keys and fighting tons of enemies I got nothing. FIX THIS ASAP!

We need raids…. towards End-game.
If you want to enhance guild contribution and great teamplay a raid would be terrific. I do agree upon the ideas with guild missions and it makes it feel like a ’’goal’’ towards guild team work, but atm…. its dull and we need CHALLENGE and less grinding for bloody laurels
