Sword/Shield Question

Was thinking about creating a Guardian. Sword looks appealing because of it’s +crit trait. How does this build look?

Would this be effective for general PVE?

I’m currently level 16 and found that using GS/Staff works great. I’ll normally start with the staff skills (chaos storm/armor), then I normally create clones to shatter followed by Phantasms, switching between two weapons. Works pretty good against single targets. Groups dodge allot and stay away.

Signet of Inspiration Question

So recently I created a Mesmer and I must say I really love it! I admit leveling is a little harder than my Warrior however I’m loving the variety of skills and illusions. My question is how useful is Signet of Inspiration at later levels? I’m currently using it to level and it seems pretty useful (at the moment). It’s something I wouldn’t mind using later down the road with a shatter build.

I love that their are no damage meters. I feel like I can actually enjoy this game and not be judged! Keep up the good work guys.

Will this game ever be optimized?

I disabled core parking on my I5 and it increased performance. More information here:

http://bitsum.com/about_cpu_core_parking.php

Of course do this at your own risk.

“CPU Parking dynamically disables unused CPU cores to conserve energy and reduce heat dissipation. It is a sleep state (C6) that is supported by most newer x86 processors, and newer editions of Windows. CPU Parking temporary disables unused logical cores and/or entire CPU packages (for SMP systems), turning them back on as the load on the CPU increases. CPU parking is similar to frequency scaling, a technology that reduces the speed of cores, except that it scales it to OFF.

Unfortunately, Windows is often far too aggressive in its parking. You can easily have a 75% total CPU load and still have parked cores! Further, while unparked is extremely rapid, it isn’t instantaneous, and therefore does induce a miniscule delay."

Refine Option Missing?

Sorry if this has been covered previously.. I recently learned the Armor smith craft profession and I’m running into a small problem. I have 10 Tin and 10 Copper Ore. While in my inventory I go to the crafting table. I’m missing the “Refine” option. All I see are crafting recipes for gloves, boots, etc. Am I missing something?
