My GW2 Itch is Back....

in Elementalist

Posted by: Bryan.3614

After a little more than a year, my GW2 itch is back. Please help me set priorities considering the objectives & limitations:
(1) My only viable play option is WvW Zerglling. I will do PvE in order to aquire needed gear & skills.
(2) I plan to use my level 80 Elementalist as backline staff. I have exotic armor & weapons with ascended jewelry, in a mix of berserker, soldier, and cleric. I followed the metabattle.com guide from a year ago.
(3) I have not purchased Heart of Thorns or anything since then. I would be willing to purchase whatever is necessary that can be bought with real-life cash.
(4) Due to real-life constraints, I will have about 6-10 hours per week to play.
Should I:
A. just use the gear I have and do my best as a zergling.
B. if updates are necessary, what are my first 5 priorities?

Requesting your help for Dungeons Warrior

I have limited playtime and find GW2 Dungeons to be huge fun. I play with PUGS (90%) and guild (10%) and would appreciate your help with my level 80 Warrior.

I am not sufficiently dextrous or skilled to use full Berserker.

So far, I have acquired the following exotics:
3 pieces of PVT armor (chest, shoulders, legs)
3 pieces of knight’s armor
6 Hoelbrak runes
PVT amulet
knight’s ears
berserker’s rings
all berserker weapons
I eat the food which reduces the conditions applied to me

I am willing to use any weapon combination.

My survivablility is much better when I use Healing Signet and put 15 points into Defense for Adrenal Health, so I would like you to consider building around that.

From this starting criteria, where should I pout the remaining trait points and what weapon set sould I use to get the best resulting DPS?

If I need to save up for some different armor, jewelry, or weapon types I will consider that as well.

Thank you!

Please - WvW role advice needed

I want to contribute more in WvW with my warrior
I’m not an experienced twitchy player, so I spend most of my time running from citadel back to battle.
There are many players who are good in battle, so why not play a role of rezzing them, and running for supply when between key battles?
I have a build in mind; would this role be valuable in WvW?

swiftness duration runes not working?

in Warrior

Posted by: Bryan.3614

I have timed the duration of warhorn & signet of rage swiftness with and without the ^duration runes equiped. The duration remains the same.
Also, the animation for swiftness goes away when the swiftness ends, and at the same number of seconds with or without the runes equiped.

swiftness duration runes not working?

in Warrior

Posted by: Bryan.3614

Bryan.3614

I have equiped two pack runes and should get 10% increase in swiftness from that according to rune descriptions. However, there is no duration increase to horn or ‘signet of rage’ swiftness.
Any ideas?
Thank you.
