LOL @ iberserker being called the iderper!! I can also confirm this. Definitely a bug =(
As the title states I’m looking for a DE tagging build for Orr. I’m a new 80 and seeing how fast mobs die in these DE’s I need advice on a build to get the most out of my necro possible. Gear choices for the build would be nice as well. It would be nice to get some loot in these DE’s and yesterday I had a very hard time tagging before a mob died. I have a lot of cond dmg on my gear(lvl 60ish golds from lvling I plan on replacing ASAP) which I think I might need to focus on more power instead.
I’d really like to have heard about new maps and new types of games (e.g. instead of all capture and hold maps how about some capture the flag or king of the hill?). I was disappointed with the blog post. =(
Oh and nice vid barti! Good to see another necro holding his/her own in pvp =)
The word is definitely “montage”. No such word as montarge…lol.

I’ve had random freezes since the last update on 10/7/12. Usually whilst loading but has happened while just standing in Divinity’s Reach.
Yes I’d love it as well!!! Less carpal tunnel anyone? Yes,please =)
I’ll add a bug similar to what has been mentioned about torch 4 already-sometimes you don’t stealth at all. Your character performs the animation and channels like you are stealthed and you still get the burn/blind at the end but you never disappear and mobs/players can still see you. This is without using any sort of dodge or other skill with it. I’ll add that I play an asuran female just in case the issue may be with the race.
The OP’s ranting diatribe aside, this is actually a real problem.
Last night, I was doing the quest to rescue the researchers close to Fort Trinity (sorry, can’t remember the quest name), and on nearly every single encounter, the second I threw an AOE, every single mob would turn from their current target and make a beeline for me.
A single trap, a single bouncing axe… doesn’t matter. Every mob in the group rushes me, and I end up having to circle-strafe for the next 5 minutes, trying to whittle them down. I feel like I’m in a freaking episode of The Benny Hill Show.
LMAO @ the Benny Hill reference! That’s the exact music I hear in my head when circle strafing a bunch of mobs by myself while the npc stands there.
For anyone who doesn’t know the Benny Hill music it’s the music from the video above. LOL
I think people largely overestimate the level of “contribution” their healing does. Let’s be honest for a bit here..
a) In most DE’s, players will not take that much dmg because it is a zerg. Things die too fast for you to really get hurt all that much.
b) The aoe heal skills by themselves are not very strong, especially if you have low healing power to begin with. The ticks are so small its almost negligible.
c) The majority of aoe heals will actually come from finishers in combo fields. While it is your combo field, its not like you’re getting credit for all the finishers going off inside of it. You only get credit from your low tick heal field. The masses of aoe regens going on don’t belong to you.
d) There’s no way to know if you’re actually healing anyone or or just topping off 3 or 4 hp. For all you know, everyone you are supposedly healing has been sitting at max or near max hp the whole time.
e) There are no healers in this game. This is the number 1 rule about GW, the trinity isn’t really there. You can’t just heal and expect to get contribution, because there is no way to “main heal”. You can drop helpful combo fields, but again, you don’t get credit for other ppl’s finishers.
f) The “right” way to do it is to drop your healing combo field, use CC/conditions where necessary, and switch to dmg while that stuff is on cooldown. The priority would be Heal/condition removal>CC/conditions>burst. Alternatively it could be CC/conditions>Heal>burst.
g) You really shouldn’t get contribution for basically doing nothing. And I guarantee most of that healing is really doing nothing. Thats just how the game is designed. Heal/support only works in places like dungeons, some world bosses, and obviously WvW. In DE’s they are essentially useless, as the number of burst aoes negate any potential dmg someone could possibly get.
I don’t know about any other people but I don’t just stand around doing nothing in the DE’s. I am actively throwing down combos and some dps as well as curing conditions when need be, using my aoe aegis and regen etc, using healing breeze,rezzing people if I can, and applying boons and/or shouts. While I am using a support skill I’m not getting mobs tagged all the time and I think this is what’s getting a lot of us silver/bronze participation when really we were just as active as a pure dps but mixing in support spells with our damage. I think that is what the majority of us are upset about. This isn’t a thread asking for xp/rewards for doing nothing, at least not on my end it isn’t. Just want the support stuff we throw in between our damage to count as participation is all.
Please anet give us a red post! I love my guardian but I’m having a hard time committing to her as a main because all I ever see or hear is how useless we are at range and I want to focus on w vs w.
Pretty much the same here. I’d love some statement from the devs, too.
Personally, I think it would be sufficient to buff the scepter’s projectile speed to the same speed as a bow and give it a 1,2,3 attack with the 3rd attack dealing additional damage and counting as a projectile finisher. It definitely needs something that makes it more interesting to use.
I’d still prefer a bow, or better: Pistol and shield. #1: Deals moderate damage. Every 3rd attack deals additional damage and is a projectile finisher. #2 Creates a symbol at target location that damages enemies inside and counts as a light combo field for your allies. #3. Volley. Each hit applies 1 stack of vulnerability. Standard shield abilities as #4 and 5
I agree with the 1 2 3 combo there but wouldn’t mind it staying the scepter just improve the speed. Just give us anything so I can finally commit to my guardian!

I agree completely and have seen several threads that mention this but absolutely no dev response. DE and WvWvW share this same problem. I love my guardian to death but have had a hard time getting gold at a lot of events if I don’t hurry to tag mobs.
I would love to see a red response on this too! I really like the guardian playstyle and would like to support and see as much credit as the aoe dps’ers. Also wouldn’t mind a more reliable ranged weapon for the guardian but that’s a whole other thread.
Going from a level 30 Story Quest to a level 48 ( skipping the story line!! )
Posted by: Bottleblonde.9324
This also happened to me and my fiance tonight. We are both humans on the lvl 30 part of the same story quest(A Fragile Peace) and his is now moved forward to the lvl 48 step. I started the beginning of the lvl 30 quest in Lion’s Arch after joining the Vigil. This stinks cos now we can’t do anymore story stuff =(
