Yeah, I killed a Tengu by accident because of the perplexity runes. He was grabbing a snowball, the he took a hit and died a moment after. And he does not respawn, as it seems.
Aren’t you missing stuff from WvW?
At Captain’s Cut on Bloodtide Coast.
At every BL in WvW, there is one at north from the northeast camp. And one at north from the northwest tower. No other that I know, but I’m not sure.
Found one at Bloodtide Coast.
Can we map them all? Maybe we could figure out a pattern.
Thumbs up for whoever was the GoM thief at HoD BL a few minutes ago. I am the white asura staff ele which cultural T3, who fought you for about… 15 minutes? Maybe my idea of time is wrong, but surely was a long fight and one of the best I ever had. The fact that no one was able to kill each other at the made it even better!
Roaming staff build is very possible, if you know how to use it.
My build is made to massive fights, but it works very well in the small ones. I guess that means someone could make a very good roaming staff build if needed.
This is the build I use… “Oh, staff with conditions! WTF?”, don’t say that, it works.
Since it isn’t really made for roaming, I will lose about 40% of 1v1 fights. And 70% of 1v2 fights. But it’s good enough for a build that nobody really believe it works.
It’s been like… 6 months since I last found a staff elementalist who could survive me in a battle in wvw. Guardians, Rangers and thieves are almost always easy targets. Mesmers and hammer warriors will usually beat me.
The burning damage from Evasive arcana, flaming burst, burning retreat and cleansing fire + the bleeding from evasive arcana and shockwave and eruption are a lot of condition damage. I have a decent controlling from unsteady ground, shockwave, lightning surge, gust, static field and frozen ground. I have healling from the Glyph of Elemental Harmony, from Geyser and Healing Rain, and from evasive arcana.
Between all the weapon skills, Gust and Stoning are the only ones that affect a single player. Which makes very easy to deal with outnumbered situations (as long as you have at least one more person to take some hits for you).
Magnetic aura, armor of earth, arcane shield, Final Shielding (trait) and Earth’s Embrace (trait) are awesome defenses, as long as you know how to use them. Cleansing fire will help to deal with immobilize or when you are taking too many conditions. Healing rain will also help.
SOme of evasive arcana effects are also blast finishers. Very useful to get some might or extra healing.
Lava Tomb and Death Nova (from the armor runes) will raise the chances of killing the enemy while on downed state.
Although I don’t think it is perfect, this build works good enough for me both in big and small fights. But I’m use to it and developing it for more than a year, so I have an extraordinary experience using it. I am not sure if it would work that well with someone else.
Sorry for any english fail.
I really don’t care about stealth. Even so it causes so much trouble in my fights.
Except… Stealth finishing. This is just unfair.
At least achievements and a title, so people can know what you’ve done for the server.
I’m ok with giving them (us, I confess) their (our) own server. And giving us the OPTION to switch.
But I have some points to say (please don’t misunderstand what i’ll say, since I have no intention to be rude):
1 – Most of Brazilians in MMOs don’t have the language issue neither high ping issue. Also, most of brazilians are not in BR guilds, specially in GW2. The brazilians in BR guilds are usually (not always) the ones that do have language issues. And this “language issues” are mostly because our average age from MMO players is low, compared to most of the countries (adults playing games is some kind of taboo here, in some families) . But as I said, most brazilians are not in Br guilds, and you don’t even realize who they are between the game population. You might see english mistakes in my post, but you can clearly understand, right? I see native english speakers doing worst than I do.
2 – I used to think Br ping problem was terrible, since we have low quality internet here. But after one year of GW2 and some other games before, I realize most of North Americans have almost as much lag problems as we do. I see North Americans teleporting too, and its not that rare.
3 – If we paid for the game, and we are allowed to play the game, then we are allowed to speak portuguese in the chats. Just like I see people speaking russian, german, spanish, and so on (in NA servers). I see guilds spamming everywhere, in every language. But most of the spam is in english, because most of the players speak english. So I believe every nationality spams relatively the same, you just think brazilians do more spam because you are not used to portuguese, so it might be just a psychological mistake.
4 – Even if we have a terrible ping and so terrible fighters for wvw… How can 30 terrible fighters be worst than no fighters at all? They might play badly because of ping… But at least they are there to play for your server (which is stronger than my, by the way).
5 – But I’m not from DH (and I assume you are), I can’t really say I understand the problems you are complaining about. But if it’s so bad at DH, the same does not applies to the other servers. Creating a Br server, in portuguese, based on Brazil, just to “save” DH from our bad connection and our language… Might not be worth. And it make way to many other countries demand their own servers or demand server for nationalities that are causing problems to their own game experience. Maybe at some point, but for now I don’t think there is enough brazilians and south americans in GW2 to make it worth creating a bunch of servers in south america (have to be “a bunch”, or they will have no wvw), the created servers would be empty.
So, if they cause so many troubles to your game experience, might be easier to switch servers yourself, than asking all of them to change. I’m in HoD, and Br population here is very small, for example.
Again, I didn’t meant to be rude. And I hope I hasn’t sounded like that.
I use it for everything, PvE, WvW and sPvP. I mastered for months, so I can use it very well in any kind of situation.
Great idea. Of course it would be very hard to change so many things at Orr for now, and I don’t really like the idea of Zaithan not being trully dead…
But the idea of an epic event that makes multiple guilds all over a server to move together would be just awesome. I would really enjoy participating in something like this in the future.
I play with staff, focus on AoE and conditions for WvW.
So I’m fine, still loving my ele.
I doubt that any new playable race will be add in the next years, maybe I’m wrong.
Anyway, the Tengu are the only ones I can bet. You could think of Kodan or Skrit, but they lack individual personality.
It was an amazing dungeon. I loved, specially the final encounter, but also the “weapon testing” part.
It’s sad that this dungeon will be gone soon. Would be nice if it could be compressed on a new Fractal, so that we don’t lose this amazing content.
