Guild Wars 2

Thanks for the responses. The main thing I want now is a vial for the back. Don’t like the fractals all that much, seems I am never the right level but since it is currently the only way to ascended gear I guess I need to bite the bullet and get more of them done. Thanks again!

Do these still drop from trash mobs in low level fractals? I read somewhere that they did so I’ve been going in at lvl 1-2 but no vial yet. Am I wasting my time? I do get drops in the aquatic one, the harpy jumping puzzle and the grawl volcanic fractal. In the swamp and the urban fractal nothing drops at all.

Precise Strike does not appear to be adding 100% crit to Opening Strike at any range with Shortbow or Longbow.

Has this been fixed yet? I just finished testing Precise Strike. This is the trait that is supposed to give Opening Strike a 100% chance to crit. It does not appear to be working at any range with Shortbow or Longbow.

For those leveling rangers and wondering about builds and equipment, I suggest that you spend a lot of time in sPvP before you spend a lot of money on lvl 80 gear. It is invaluable to see what really works and suits your playstyle.
Mine is similar to Mog’s signet build except I have 20 in WS in lieu of NM. It gives me a great 6s invulnerable, stability and resistance to movement impairing abilities which is important in WvW. I use skills that provide Fury and try to keep it up most of the time. Consequently, I picked traits and other things that trigger off crit because I crit a lot.
The main thing though is to find something that works for you. Good luck with your rangers!

Same for me. The last try I was careful to save the skritt in the order you encounter them. Also have tried other orders over about 4 attempts. Tchkik will not budge. I filed a bug report before I found this thread. There is a screenshot attached that shows the position of the bugged skritt.
