Guild Wars 2

With the PoF Patch, signets hot a huuuuge boost.

I go GS + Staff in fractals.

I dont have the best of gears, but I once saw my guy crit 25k with grave digger.
Conditions at that time were:
- boss under 50%
- full vuln
- full might and prolly had some ferocity.

I believe the idea of a GS reaper is staying in reaper form.

More autos as Reaper, the longer you stay in reaper. Even longer, if you dodge.

You can also go for the Signet route, ditching the 20% more damage when target is below 50. You have passive LF gain.

The builds i mentioned above are “selfish” builds.

To be a supportive power reaper, ditch Spite and go for Blood Magic + Wells + Traited Wells.

Necro main. Rise (thread)!

Power reaper burst is bad, but at 50% boss hp, it deals 25k grave digger crits with full buff. :/

Is that really bad?

I’m casual too.

However:
I’ve done hot meta at least 10 times.
I’ve made it to Gold1 in pvp
I’ve finished wood box in wvw
I’ve almost made it through t1 fractals. Just need infusions for t2.

I just got back after 4 years. Everything is new to me. All in the course of 3-4 months.
I play an average of 1-2 hours a day. By average, meaning, I don’t play everyday.

So what gives? Maybe you’re just bad at dodging and lazy?

Not another X game took this from Y game post.

The way I see it, mounts in GW2 are well innovated.
- they have mobility skills
- they have pve skills

In GW2, there’s map completion. Not everything is accessible by way points, and mounts would tremendously help in that. And when they are, they can be “contested” by events.

It’s not a simple +movespeed +aesthetic.

The concern on “X Y Z” in story quests is already outright bypassed if you have waypoints.

Now that there are mounts, I might just even ignore the waypoints and enjoy trotting around.

I’m looking for this too.

Don’t know how to tag devs or mods so they get informed/reminded.

The spec as a whole looks pretty interesting and because of how it looks to be designed it will be hard to speculate how to use it without actually having our hands on it. Need more information at least. There is a play weekend this month right?

Yes. But forgot what date. I hope my wife lets me binge. lol

This is wrong. Damage absorption is, pound for pound, better than healing. Drastically more useful.

Explain this one.

A character has 12k HP. They are hit by a 15k hit.

If you place a 5k barrier on them beforehand, they survive with 3k.
If you try to heal them afterwards for 5k, it doesn’t work because they are dead.

And it would also improve the benefit from HP threshold relates bonus! I get t it thanks

Everyone, go scholar!

Well, I was thinking of running this with a noob team/pug, where I can make use of the passive heals/leeches + 120s cooldown revive.

A tanky Dark paladin.

Damage source can either be power or condi. Either stats will boost this build’s bleeds/poison. It’s up to my limited resources. lol

But disregarding my damage output, the idea is trying to keep the party alive.

Traiting vampiric rituals for a mix of signets + wells.

What the title says. What do you guys think?

For fractals and raids.

The one thing I don’t like about Apple products is you can’t customize stuff. And if something breaks, you gotta replace the whole thing.

On topic, your rig is still a beast, which would probably still be relevant enough to run games 3-4 years from now.

I don’t get to play too often so I’d like to ask experienced players out there what a good path to take would be…

Class: Revenant (coz the mini sword omnislash!)

I did my own theorizing and reading and what I have thought of so far would be:

Milestone 1
- Exotic Soldier armors
- Berzerker weapons
- Marauder accessories

I spread the stats like so, so I can potentially be somewhat be relevant in all content except raids ?

Milestone 2
- get ascended, same stats

I’d like to be able to raid as an off tank, and like I said, can’t invest enough time into farming multiple gear sets to be of a specific role in different contents.

Milestone 3 ( 10 years from now? lol )
- Legendary

For the stat swap feature and “always have highest possible quality!” feature.

Does this seem like a good way to progress gear ( with stats ) ?

How many hours did it take you to get legendary weapons? I highly doubt you’re a casual.

Launch date was 28 August 2012, I’ve played for 1986 hours over 9 characters since then.
That’s a average of 1.14 hours each day (1745 days).
I think i have spent half of that time on the legendary Kudzu

Is that casual enough for you ?

So legendary weapons are out of reach for casuals too. 1000 hours is not casual.

1000 hours in a 5 year span is pretty casual to me. Averaged at 1.14 hours? – that’s practically a daily, some parts of even trains and a few map poi’s for me. XD

But on topic, I think locking leg armor in raids is fine and rightfully so.
The word “Legendary” has to live up to it’s name.

Apart from the already mentioned benefits of having a legendary is that
- Legendary equips will always have stat values equivalent to the the highest tier of equipment available. Currently, they have stats equivalent to Ascended equipment.

So there’s that. I think you gotta commit to that much effort at least.

This is coming from a “casual”, that doesn’t event have a full exotic set.
