2 warriors 1 ele and 1 thief is perfectly fine.
Its more about the builds you run.

Imo the problem with 5 man group raiding is 99% of wvw population is running in <3 or >20 groups.

Grenadier power vs condi (after dec 2013)

Posted by: Boererik.3459

Boererik.3459

You already gave the anwser

you want survivability (tough,vit,heal)
you want direct dmg (power,prec,critdmg)
you want condi dmg (condi dmg)

As a Grenadier with a 400 worldrank, I can say celestial is the way to go.

Engineer, yeeha.

Other then u should go grenades, a few points:

Automatic medical response, resets cd on med-kit which has no cd. You want the 15 in tools for that, to reset your toolbelt heal.
Superior sigil of generosity helps for extra condi removal.
You want the 15 in alchemy for the extra condi removal.
I suggest you drop the 20 in inventions, but IF you inventions go all the way to healing bombs.

Another tactic that might suit you is:
get enchance preformance, sigil of battle and altruism runes for 15 perma might in combat and lot of fury uptime, when you spam healkit.

Engineers VS Others in Fractals/Dungs

I do lvl 36 daily, sometimes with a pugs and sometimes with my guild.

In terms of group DPS, my celestial engineer does more dps than my zerker warrior.
My engineer can keep up 25 stacks of vuln/bleed (1500 p/t) and 90 seconds of poison which is great for not resetting the boss.

My DPS rotation (firebomb, bob, barrage, bleed nade, freeze nade, blunderbluss, jumpshot, prybar) also does more direct dmg than my GS warrior does in the same time.

Also some bosses require range DPS, where nades do at least twice the dmg than done by a rifle warrior.

New fractals are awesome

I’ve had a great time running 30 to 34 so far. Looking forward doing the next lvls.

Since I play for the fun, I don’t care about the low rewards. Its a perfect way to keep the gold grinders out of the fractals.

I like the idea of the instability’s, every lvl is different. Other then the old design where every lvl was just the same, but took more time.

I main grenade engi with 400 world ranks, and I can say that power necro is your best bet. The reflections in a zerg v zerg are all over the place, and its hard to tell which are from allies/enemies. Ele is also nice, and has great support with statics and waterfields.

This is the dumbest thread I’ve seen so far.

If you complain you have to many, just destroy them. You guys are just frustrated you didn’t get extra reward on top of the already insane gold for all the brainless champ farming.

The drop rate is fine, at least for casual gamers.

Farmers vs Completers

in Clockwork Chaos

Posted by: Boererik.3459

Boererik.3459

Either go all for the event, or all go farm.

Its so frustrating when u failed the event, the farmers walk away with 30 champ bags.

Also if we complete, all the farmers who actually did nothing completing the event, get the same reward.

No offense but farmers shouldnt be on the same map as the completers.
i suggest all completers join home server, while the farmers wait 1 minute to get in the overflow.

Skills that ignore the 5 player limit

in WvW

Posted by: Boererik.3459

Boererik.3459

Engineer grenades technically hit 5 players each, with 3 grenades per throw. So theoretically, one throw could hit up to 15 players if each grenade were to hit 5 separate enemies. That said, it also means, theoretically, an engineer could hit himself with 15 hits of retaliation in one throw. So I’m not sure if it’s a blessing or a curse.

So in theory you can chill 15 players with freeze grenade.

Most of the AOE skills only do dmg up to 5 people or give boons up to 5 people.
Dev has confirmed the cap was set to 5 cause of the technical limitations.

I know ‘veil’ doesn’t have a cap, do you know more skills without cap?

We need another mainhand weapon, since we can only use pistol.

Shield:

  1. (chain) bash, bash, stun (0,5 sec)
  2. (gapcloser) Engi throwes his shield on the ground, jumps on it and glide to the target.
  3. knockdown

Hi, Im looking for a guild [Aurora Glade] to do guild missions and fractals 30+.
I don’t want to use teamspeak/skype, actually i want a guild that only communicates on chat, Cause 4 players using teamspeak, and 1 not wont work.

I know 99% of all the guilds use ts, but there must be some that do not.

A Dutch guild would be even greater.

Fractals after the patch

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Boererik.3459

Boererik.3459

Before the 28/01 patch i did about 30 daily lvl10, all in less than an hour. All done with PUGS, and maybe one failed.

After the patch I did 5 lvl 10 with PUGS and 4 of them failed, because someone ragequit or we couln’t do a boss.

Fractals was the most fun dungeun imo, but i wont do them anymore, because after the patch we fail everytime.

After reading the patch notes i noticed nothing drastical changed, but why do we (they) still fail so hard?

Power vs Precision/Toughness vs Vitality

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Boererik.3459

Boererik.3459

You need a good balance of toughness and vitality to endure the most damage.
example:
2 × 8 = 16
5 × 5 = 25
However when you have lots of vitality you heal less of your max health pool.
That why cleric gear (healing power, toughness, power) is populair on guardians.

Same for Power/Precision

You need a good balance, however if you want to proc your runes/traits on crit, you might need a little more precision.

Infusions added stats

Boererik.3459

where does it say new infusion give 30% boost to grenade 1?

Just saying the increased stats are negligible compared to the nerf and buffs there making at this stage

Infusions added stats

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Boererik.3459

Boererik.3459

For example:
A Mighty infusion cost me 100 Powerfull blood 20, mystic coins, 50 phylosopherstone and 250 fruit.
This will give me +5 power, which will increase my damage by 0,025%.

Then I collected the materials and got my 0,025% dmg boost. (whiehoo!)

Then the patch notes:
Grenade #1 does 30% less dmg.

So what’s the point of adding infusions with such small stats increase, while the game is still in the fase that it needs to balance the rough edges of several professions, dungeuns and items?

btw. no offense, i just wondered

If you have 3 mystic forge stones you can make these.

The same as master, but if you have the stones its way cheaper and if gives you 250 charges.

^ I agree with all

But i think your key binding can be better. try this:
Get strave on A and D to free Q and E

  1. - Middle mouse
  2. - Q
  3. - E
  4. - R
  5. - F
  6. - Mouse 4
  7. - Shift
  8. - Control
  9. - Alt
  10. - C
    toolbelt skills – button 1-2-3-4
    Weapon switch/drop – TAB
    Interact / loot – Mouse 5
    Does wonders for my quadro-kit engi

Ow and use fastcast.
