Guild Wars 2

So I had a Ascended weapon from for my Fotm 29 daily 2 days ago. I am searched trying to find out what the lowest level the weapons can drop in for a daily. As you can guess I have found nothing,
So I am wondering, what is the lowest level daily Fotm you can do to get an Ascended weapon drop? I am hoping that this makes sense.
Thank you

So I just recently came back to GW2 and I saw I had a Scythe Staff account bound. It had been transmuted onto a staff and I made the mistake of looking to see how much it’s worth and DAM.
What I am wondering is there anyway to make it non account bound so I could sell it?
I don’t think there is any thing I am can do but I would much rather sell it and put it towards a Legendary. It sucks I made the mistake back into the day. So if you know of a way, please help me and thank you.

Everyone was really bad in that video that you faced. Any player that has some of any skill could trash them.

I use a power longbow build in WvW, because 1500 range for Zerg vs Zerg is awesome. My pets are useless there so I use them for boons/a fear. Got a problem with that?
In a dungeon, I go to my short bow/bleed/trap build because I do not need the 1500 range.

QQing about a thief when there are a lot more classes that can get higher burst. Really? Maybe you should not be a glass cannon yourself.

So your allowed to swap what class your using between the match? I find that complete bull kitten. You should choose what class you decide and go with that through the whole thing and not be able to swap.

That’s kinda what I run but I run two handed mastery over pure of voice. I run two pieces of Pres/vit/healing with Sigil of str on my greatsword. I also run Rune of Altruism. Same food and oil to.
Edit : I also recently took 5 points out of Virtues for 5 points into Radiance for the Justice is Blind.
But really this build is kinda cookie cutter.

I really like the mace/focus. Hammer is to slow for me. The healing on the maces 3rd hit is really nice and the block on the focus is one of the best 5’s in the game.

Yaki.9563:

Valor is crap except for AH which is so strong that it’s worth spending 30 useless points just to get it.

Total crap, except for:
- Two useful stats, toughness and crit damage.
- Purity: Totally free condition removal every 10 seconds.
- Retributive Armor: 4-6% crit chance (depending on toughness) on all attacks.
- And Altruistic Healing, as you mention, which is one of the most overpowered abilities in the game.

And this is only one way of using it, not to mention its use for a meditation build. The minor abilities are fairly underwhelming, yes, but overall its an amazing tree.

I don’t think AH is overpowered, I think they should bring the other tree’s up on par with AH, or mostly Honor and Valor tree. As everyone knows, the honor tree just has to many good traits. Valor has some good traits and AH.

The cookie cutter build for guards right now is 30 in honor 30 in valor.
For Empowering might and Altruistic healing. None of the other trees really offer what these two trees can give.

This mite have been brought up before but why is Shield of Wrath on the focus and not the shield?
It just seems like it should be on the shield. I like the look of a shield over a focus so that’s another reason I would like it moved. But it really makes more sense on a shield anyway.

The cookie cut build is 30 in Valor and 30 in honor.

So I was playing around with my guard in sPvp with a knock down build. I am talking going all the way with it, Hammer, Spirit Hammer, and Bane. I am just having trouble with making the build.
I went 10/10/20/30
Reduce Spirit weapon recharge rate, signet recharge rate. purity str in numbers.
Then 2h skills recharge rate with some small healing in the honor tree.
It seems to be working for me ok, but does anyone have any better builds for a knock down build?
I am thinking about just going a pure sig build and putting more crit and more squishy, What do you guys think?
Btw, this is not for anything but kittens and giggles in sPvp.
This is not for tPvp. I just want to knock people around a bit.

So I did SE path 1 awhile back ago, I am not leveling a guard and doing it through dungeons a lot, and just tried SE path 1 for quick exp.
What the kitten happened? The mobs do not stop spawning ever now? You can’t do it where one guy tanks one while the rest clear up past that point? This dungeon path is now stupid hard with pugs.
Anyone else agree this change was really not needed?

Sarevok.4836:

If the dps meter only reads what your character is pulling then yes I would agree with having one. The reason I dislike having dps meters in a game that records every person’s dps in the group, is that too many people think of it as an excuse to kick someone from a group if they don’t think their dps is high enough.

In the case of recording everyones dps the disadvantages more then outwiegh the advantages. As an example you might have 2 people in the group, one pulling high dps and dying all the time and another person that is pulling less dps but knows how to stay alive and stay out of the dumb @#$%. Overall the person pulling the lower dps has a high total damage done by the end of the fight because the other person keeps dying.

To conclude, yes having a dps meter is good but not if it is going to record everyone’s dps that is in the group.

That’s why I said it only shows your dps. And that’s why total damage is needed to for when people die, there total damage will suck.

Blackwolfe.5649:

Ive writte enough on this in other threads on the same topic so I’ll just say:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yg2u_De8j5o

Copy/Paste. I want to read it. I want to see your reason behind not wanting one, before I make a smart kitten comment.

Also, no need to hate on WoW, it was a good game.

GCleonardo.3947:

WTF!!!!!!!!!!
Why you keep saying this is not world of warcraft.
I’m just saying races and classes from world of warcraft.
Because you people don’t know others.
Likek mounts, you alwayse said this isn’t world of warcraft.
Why just world of warcraft.
Tera got them, rift got them, lotro got them, and allot more.

So, just fyi dwarves are gone in this game. Most of the classes you said, come from wow. In some form or another. If they are to add another class, it will be a heavy armor, death knight/necro type thing.
That would make 3 clothes, 3 mediums, 3 heavies.

maddoctor.2738:

How about adding a specific area in the Heart of the Mists where players can use their PVE GEAR to test their builds? The current problem with testing in Hearth of the Mists is that character gear changes to the PVP version, which makes any test results in the Mists very inaccurate compared to the real PVE experience. So simply allowing people to use their PVE gear in the Mists, or some specific area there, would be ideal.

While at this, making the combat log show healing done, condition damage applied, boon applied (+seconds) and other useful stats is important. I don’t understand why the combat log is only showing direct damage, either suffered or inflicted, direct damage isn’t the only number that matters in a battle!

Or really add one in PvE somewhere that has decent health and you could just kinda time yourself. It would have to have a decent amount of health. Arond 75k-100k health. But that still would not help vs healing per second.

KratosAngel.7289:

That question is … risky.
I’m absolutely against a DPS meter like in WoW, and so you are, glad to see it
I would only agree with that if on your DPS meter, you can only se YOUR DPS and not that of the others. Otherwise, even though you can’t link it, kitten people will say “omg you’re not DPSing I can see it” when you’re support or what … And it sucks.
Consequently, I would quite agree with your idea as it’s about what you suggest.
Still, I’m afraid of how kitten players are and I’m afraid they will ask for players to produce a screenshot of their DPS in the instance, with this group.
So … I dunno what to say, as I would still like to see my DPS so as to improve my build/gameplay …

Like I said, you can’t link it, and can only see your dps. I though about people being like., “Screen shot of your dps please” but if they are that hardcore you most likely won’t want to group with them anyways.
Bad players will be bad players. I notice them without a dps meter. People who want to feel elite will post there dps on forums, but who really cares.
I want it to improve my char’s. I could see if this way does better dps or if doing this does more dps.

Courageous Mithos.8745:

What does this have to do with Dungeons? Might have a better place in the Suggestions part of the Forum.

Because it would really be used for dungeons or testing a builds dps, for dungeons. Nothing else to really test dps on.

And if you really don’t want a dps meter in your game, have it so the player can just turn it off.

Dee Jay.2460:

I’d much rather have bosses with enrage timers/soft enrage mechanics or other high DPS requirements than having actual DPS meters.

I disagree with this, if you get a group where your all support, that becomes bad.

moiraine.2753:

Actually i like your idea.Especially the part where only you can see the meter and you can’t link anything.
I agree that we need a dps meter.I like to improve my role and that is a good way to do it.

That’s why I want one so bad lol.

Add a dps meter please.
Some people will flame me, hate me, disagree with me but read before you do.
So add a dps meter, make it were you are the only person who can see the dps meter. No way of linking it.
What you do is add
Dps meter (Damage Per Second)
Total damage done.
Hps (Healing Per Second)
Total healing done.
Total Damage Taken.
Add more if you wish but why not add it? Because it will make some people not want to play with others? I already don’t want to play with the one pug my group and I bring in sometimes, by just watching them die. Sometimes my group and I get a good pug sometimes not.
Because it will make people feel they have to pull super dps? That’s a lie.
No one else can see your dps meter, and you can not link it. Someone asks you what your dps is at, and you feel ashamed, lie.

I want a dps meter to be able to test if I am doing good damage or not. The only loop hole to this is “Well you said you can’t see or link other people’s dps meter.” I have to say, I can ask my friends and they will be truthful about it.
So that’s it.
Flame on.

I hate people like you op. If you want to run the dungeon, start a kittening group. I will be bored sometimes in LA and see a LFG and I decid sure I will run that place.
kitten anyone that is to lazy to start a group. You don’t deserve to run a dungeon.

I am currently leveling a guard and loving it. I am coming from a thief, and I see that only two trait lines are worth it really. That’s Valor and Honor. The traits in the other trees are really not that great. Zeal mite be ok with spirit weapons but those builds are bad in dungeons. Radiance is ok with a signet build but again, those are bad in dungeons also.

My group I run with clear Maw’s trash.. The drops are amazing.

Sithaco.4673:

It goes..

1. get killed by a thief
2. alt + f4
3. whine on forums.

But the thief killed me because I am a GC. I don’t want to L2P, I want thieves nerfed and L2P being handed to me because I am a baddie.

Poki.8235:

Deadly Arts 10: Vunerability on Crit. Not bad if your geared includes a good chunk of precision.

This is so not a good trait. Max and I mean MAX if your lucky is 4% damage.

Valk armor for burst builds. Rabid for Bleed builds.

EthanLightheart.9168:

Thiefs are so hilarious. Nerf them alreadey. So overpowered. Strealth without cooldown all the time. Too much selfheal and mucxh too much damage upkeep.

Try a 4 second CD at least on any stealth.

I use Condion/pres/toughness for most of my pieces. I needed the hp so I have some earrings/ammy/chest for con/power/vit. P/D’s damage is horrid so there is no point. Your damage really comes from the CnD/sneak attack combo and the bleeds from it. My rings are Con/pres/toughness and I would use that back piece if I did not get one for my old spec.

Negated.4105:

imo this thread is soo good, yeah the range is kittening terrible the amount of time in spvp I popped that and my team was within reasonable distance, maybe 2 arms/3 arms length still I always thought they would receive it till they said the distance isn’t as far as I’m thinking, I guess the trait wasn’t really used till as of late, people branching out noticing the problems with minor unused traits.

Well, it’s really the only support we can give, not counting blind/stealth.
For venoms they heal and get 2 stacks of might.
What sucks is with the build, we are locked into certain traits. It’s really, a cookie cutter build for venom share.

BobbyT.7192:

I curious of this my self, on holidays at the moment, but when i get back, i want change my main pve build around a bit. Been thinking of going back into venom share for pve WvW, very little experience with that build in that environment. (try it in spvp a few times, but that it) Anyone here with some what success with it?

Venom share in WvW is kittenty, but you can trait it out for a good bleed spec. Trade venomous aura for shadow reju. Stealth blinds and gives regen. And some others. And it works. 30 in shadow arts is a must for me for any build I do.

They need to make it instant cast and last 1 second.

Venom share is about the only support we have. I roll a venon/bleed spec with blind on stealth.

Kitono.9152:

I agree. I would be very content if it was a 900-1200 range like most other support buffs. It would provide incentive for more thieves to go support instead of GC burst thereby reducing thief OP QQ.
I would also like to see them fix it so venoms scaled on power like they actually stated and would like to see venom durations stack better.
I understand the issue with that though because that’s a lot of duration with shared poisons so let’s switch basilisk to 4 or 5 charges of a random condition. (Blind, immob, weakness, chill, cripple, all the non dmging ones or make them all dmging ones like bleed,fire, confusion.)

It would not stop the QQ, you can trait out the venom share build to roll in WvW as a bleed spec and I am starting to see lots of people QQ over our 4 second pistol bleeds.

To make it be good all it would need is a bigger range. I don’t say poisons should scale with power.
I also want a +20 or 33% bleed duration in talents like almost every other class.

skinnyb.5920:

It is most certainly possible once you learn how to play the dungeons.

My thief is d/d & SB.
20/30/0/20/0 with full berzerker’s with ruby orbs on everything. I chose the trait in critical strikes that converts a % of my precision to vitality and along with the points in acrobatics, I ended up with 13.7k HP.
I rarely get one-shotted in lower level dungeons such as AC if I’m at full health, but it’s definitely very easy to die in two or three hits. Therefore, learn the enemy animations and when to dodge their attacks.

For example, right before Kholer’s going to throw out his scorpion wires, he slowly crouches down over a period of 2 seconds. Learn to dodge at that time and use your ranged and it’ll be no problem.

Have fun dying in high lvl fracs by getting looked at.

Does anyone else feel this should have a bigger range? It seems really really small for me.

I really think they need to make the bleed last longer or make it attack a little faster. Both really.
So the 2/2/2 runes for bleed dur don’t show up on the tool tip?

On my thief, I currently have the 2/2/2 runes for 45 bleed duration but I was looking at it and taking my armor off and on and it was not increasing the time on the bleeds. Sigil of Agony works but the runes do not.
Anyone know if these are not working or something?

Gladiat.6278:

Arsenic.8259:

To be a good thief, you kinda need to learn mobs/bosses to be good. You have to know what attacks to dodge.
And anyone that says they live in zerker gear is bsing, or have not done high level fracs.

You can achieve an extremely high rate of endurance regeneration and combined with stealth it can help you avoid a lot of damage.

The only reason why zerker gear doesn’t work in FotM is because of agony damage, and in dungeons everything does a ton of damage.

Most of what thief does best is avoiding hits with stealth/blind/dodges, so it’s best to take advantage of those. Full GC specs at 30/30/0/0/10 don’t really work well unless the enemy you’re attacking is guaranteed to die before they have a chance to hit you, or has no interest and will never care about the raging fire truck beating at from behind.

Agony hits for a percent amount, not a flat amount. Everything else will kill you though. I could see it now in Maw, 1 tentacle juggle downs someone, haha. I would love to see that. But yeah your right about the GC specs. I have never once looked or tried a GC spec.

I just want a +33% bleed duration like every other class has for the most part.

I would guess you think that a GC backstab build is easy to play.
Make up your own build.

Decked.8274:

Playing melee thief in dungeons is almost impossible, we need Death Blossom to dodge, not only to evade the attacks but also to move to the backs of the mobs

If your glass cannon it is.

30 seconds for as long as I remember. You can trait it for -20% cool down though.

I run a venom share/bleed spec build for dungeons but I can trait it out for a high regen, bleed spec for WvW. I use the same gear, Rabid, with some carrion mixxed it and it’s fine for me.
I don’t have to respec at all.

I personally like the shadow arts tree over acro tree but that’s just me. I love the ultra regen I get out of it for WvW.
I don’t need the regen in my party because I run with certain people who we all support each other.
