Guild Wars 2

IGN: Fierce Knuckledust
Playstyle: WvW
Server: Jade Quarry
Experience with thief: My main and only character that I play.

So this can actually be used outside of wvw? Like, on dungeons? Since most groups use stacking tactics, I dont see how this cant work

Hi guys!

I am thinkering a new D/D and P/P build based on the new changes. I am not sure about the sigils and armor yet, so any opinions/feedback is greatly appreciated!

So far the build has been fun and I havent ran into any problems. But I havent tried harder content such as soloing stuff and speedruns.

Maybe it would be worthwhile investing in Acrobatics and the new boon on dodge runes?

I chose ambush and thieves guild for the 20% bonus to unload’s speed.

Any opinions will be greatly appreciated! Help me sharpen up this build.

Feel free to mail me some. Im a new player and would love to put some on my collection, currently got 3.

I liked guild wars 2. More than any other mmo I’ve played. There were a couple of things I wish it had, and a couple things I didn’t like as much, but over all it was a wonderful experience.

As I stated in a post in the Game Updates: Wardrobe, Transmutation, Outfits feedback thread, the exchange rate they implemented for transmutation stones to charges left me feeling cheated. I am not happy about it.

But what really bothers me is the echoing silence from the Anet staff on the matter. A simple ‘we understand your frustration and will be more careful in the future’ would be enough for me. Sadly, even that much seems to be too much. There has been no Anet/dev response to the above thread since my complaint (along with about 20 pages of primarily negative feedback, though granted most of it isn’t related to my particular complaint).

Since the not so wonderful update, I haven’t played. I could live with the changes. I can even live with the loss of the money I spent in the gem store for stones that I was forced to exchange at a loss. It’s the silence and the indifference that silence shows that disgusts me. I just can’t bring myself to play any more.

If you folks at Anet want me back, all you have to do is reply.

Is that really so much to ask?

Hi good sir.
I hope you have a better time and challenge in your next game. Now, we don’t want your GW2 stuff sitting there getting dusty, I am a new player and I would be more than happy if you could send me gold and/or stuff since I am collecting to build the Legendary Axe.

I hope you can consider my wish,

Sincerely yours,

wow cant believe i write this kind of game suicide Letter

its been over 2 Years now I play GW2

The game was great the best MMo I played. I quit the game now is not bcs I hate it or so its just became extremly pointless for me.

The last Year of the Game I did nothing then just repeat what I did the first Year. sure I became better and Dunguons got more easy and thats maybe the Point why I quit.

In WOW i loved the Challange I liked playing good and proofing that to myself.
In GW it was in the start so Dunguons where hard! there was a lot to learn and to explore.

But It became harder and harder for me to log in the recent time. There is no Chalange in the Game at all, there is no reason to play good. It feels only like a who has more stuff Game now.

The LS is Nice but not nice enough to keep me since its done in a few hours and the archivments… the hardest part is understand what anet want me to do the rest is naja…

So I found myself cutting Wood with all the other dudes and I said to myself what the kitten im doin here?

when the most Challangeing game mode became cutting Wood with my 8 Chars.

So anyway

I want say Thank u anet for making this great Game it was a Blast, I love ur Concept and the Visuals.

I will take a look in the Forum from time to time but so long Game Content not get at least one new Continent and 5 New Dunguons I not seeing me comming Back.

Best

Hello. I am a new player and I am playing Ranger so I would love to join Wind to chat and learn more about the class.

My favorite playstyle is pve/dungeons and Im on JQ

bumpppity bump bum!

Hello guys!

I am a newbie but have been playing hard and got lots of help from my guild, so today I finally got Shadow of Grenth ascended back piece.

The problem is.. it looks INCREDIBLY lackluster if compared with others of the same kind, such as lyssa and dwayna ones. I mean, you can barely see the particle effects and I have no idea why that red stripes are there.

Anyone thinks the same? It costs A LOT and doesn’t look as awesome as others

Here i am! Almost 2 months playing GW2 and today I finally got Grenth backpiece and hood.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

I dont mean to be cold or anything and I do agree with most of your points, but I still think this is one of the best MMOs in the market and I’m a new player, been here for a month. So if you really decide to leave, can you mail me your stuff?

My IGN is Fierce Knuckledust

Cheers!

So Im playing for one month, and for the past week I’m getting 10+ crashes a day. I’ve just given up playing now since I play normally for 15 minutes and then BOOM random crash.

I’m not the only person with this problem by far, when is this going to be solved? This was supposed to be an AAA mmo.

BrunoBRS.5178:

i think that covers it, trying to keep the playstyle similar to what you envisioned.

A mix of power and condition damage seems good to play alongside venoms, thank you for the input BrunoBRS.

Mad King runes seems great for the kind of hybrid build, does anyone else agree?

Im not seeking optimisation at all, just advice on how to improve a venom aura condition damage D/D build

Thank all you guys for the advice! I reeally understand its far from “ideal”, but “ideal” is just boring for me.

How you guys would improve this even further? I also like using D/D instead of P/D

I get the build isn’t as optimal as a full power one would be, but doesn’t it compensate the lack of raw DPS for more survivability and support? Also I dont like being a copycat of others standard builds.. its just boring

Narkodx.1472:

The build is fine but condition thief does not really benefit from precision so you can switch your armor/weapons to all dire or even throw in some healing power combinations shamans/settlers

I went for some precision due to geomancers sigils so I can apply bleed more reliably since I am not using a pistol

Hello everyone! I have been playing GW2 for a month now and I loved thief. It is the class I will be sticking with, my main and only as I dont like making alts.

After playing with the standard power “meta” build up until now, after hearing over and over that condition builds aren’t viable, I am trying to come up with a working venom build since the last update.

The general idea is: while in a group, boost the overall party’s DPS via conditions (which normally people won’t bring since it doesn’t fit the current “meta”) and mighty stacks, survivability via leeching venoms, support via steal and overall awesomeness via venom aura.

I am nowhere near a “pro” or experienced on build design, but overall I think this build I came up with is good overall:

http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fZMQNAoYVnMJSTTW0EeOB7TmwmQ4+UtZe2drmDCA-TByCABAcIAwR9HFeCApoPIRlgBt/QWK/m+EAQIgFzBA-e

I chose the speed runes for open world and wvw mobility, plus the added vitality is nice. I also mixed in Dire with Rabid for that same purpose.

Do any of you guys have any advice/suggestions/comments regarding this? I will not ever go for a power build again, I like condition build gameplay (especially with D/D) and I like being needed and making a difference in a group, be it wvw or dungeons.

Thanks in advance!
IGN Fierce Knuckledust

Nope. Not gonna happen.

I appreciate everyone for all the advice given! I will be sure to follow each of them. I am level 32 right now and been sticking to D/D and SB. I’m getting used to the timers, and getting positioning sorted out. Been trying some eotm recently to get a feel for pvp as well.

Once again, thank you everyone! My IGN is Fierce Belisario, if anyone wants to chat ingame!

Thank you guys, I am really loving d/d and have started doing some spvp hotjoins to pratice

So, I started playing GW2 four days ago and it has been a blast so far, despite some greedy design/monetization choices that I dislike. But, moving on:

I felt in love with thief. I feel like if I fail, I can actually die contrary to warrior or guardian, and I feel like I dont depend on carved-in-stone rotations like elementalists and I feel like, if I know how to play, I can make a difference contrary to rangers or mesmers. This is all from my experience from levels 1-20 and from talking to multiple people in-game and reading on the forums.

So, basically, I loved the D/D high risk high reward style. In pve it doesnt have reliable area damage so I also picked shortbow. I may change that on endgame, but for now I will stick to this build.

Do you guys have any newbie advice that I should know of? Any help is greatly appreciated, and Im on Jade Quarry if any guild around is recruiting.

Cheers,
Bel

And when is that tournament happening? The main thing my friends do is WvW and from what they say, guild perks are also bound to the home server…

I am wondering that too, its just not possible for a server to be “full” 24/7. If anyone has more information.. I really dont like playing solo and now I dont feel like re-starting a new character on another server..

Its 6 am here in Brazil and I’ve been monitoring this screen all night lol

Hello guys! I started playing 2 days ago and the game is being a blast! SOOO fun. But all my friends are on Tarnished Coast and I want to move there badly, so I deleted my characters and I hope you can help me here.

Which time of the day is TC not full? I am up all night hoping it would be less busy, but apparently North Americans really like to play from 00:00 to 8:00 lol

Thank you for the great response mate. So rangers now are basically not required at all in dungeon runs?

I started playing 2 days ago, dont hold much game knowledge yet

Are spirit rangers viable? From what I was talking ingame with peoples, they say most competitive teams take at least 1 spirit ranger.

But is it viabla as a “pug”? Or roaming in wvw? From what I understand its a heavy condition build, so I think it might be good. For pve I think its not really that important but I think it might be good on dungeon runs as well.

Thoughts?

Hello guys!

I played like 2 months after release and then ragequit, now I am back to GW2, obviously forgot everything so I decided to buy a new account and start new as a ranger!

I am looking for some advice on a pve optimized build to level up and do some basic dungeon running and stuffs. I love pets, I have the Hall of Monuments fully unlocked so would be nice to fill that awesome spider somewhere! Hahahaha

Thank you in advance for the advice given and hope to see you in game soon!
