Guild Wars 2

just kill your target or de-target them and try sheathing your weapons. sometimes that helps, if not then just let them kill u problem solved

I made a charr mesmer and tried to name it Charr Illusionist, but a message came up saying that it wasn’t allowed/appropriate, and I was kinda confused as to why it wouldn’t let me…
:/

I assume u mean Cleansing Ire. It should count…

I don’t really see a whole lot of UW content in S2 of Living Story just because of the area it’ll happen in (Maguuma Wastes/Magus Falls.) But in future LS content there will eventually be a huge focus on UW content because of the DSD

There isn’t much you can do about the controls in GW2, but you can slightly modify some things in the options menu under game controls or something like that.

For leveling up, there is a number of ways you level and not just by doing the heart quests, although those are part of zone completion and you get a good chunk of experience for completing a zone. and the rewards get better when you complete higher level areas.

Start off by completing all the lower level zones and then do the Personal Story missions when you’re a high enough level. You’ll start acquiring better gear once u get to like lvl 10 and then leveling becomes a little easier.

Tei.1704:

Pics speak louder than words in this case, so here’s my ele and guard.

Any face can look ferocious or timid by playing with the eyes and brow. Downward slants and more squinting gives you ferocity.

Every face is going to look normal or vanilla unless you do something that makes it stand out slightly. My ele’s face isn’t all that vanilla because of the red eyes and the white patches around them. I don’t consider my guardian’s face vanilla because nearly solid black charr seem pretty uncommon, the dreadlocks/hair wrap add some character and there’s that white spot on the forehead.

Yeah, don’t make a charr that’s primarily white. I see way too many of them and they rarely look good. You pretty much can’t go wrong with brown.

As a general suggestion, you should pick one or two things that are most important and base everything else around those. Pick the fur and/or hair out then use the face you think looks best with those. Or pick the face you want the most then make the fur and hair match.

Both those faces look pretty good

How about a Squirrel race eh? Squirrels would be the best race in GW2 ever.

They never learn do they?
Besides, GW2 already has something that boosts your movement speed more than swiftness, and it’s in Edge of the Mists
No mounts.
Never.
Ever.
ever

Whoa…try to imagine 136 years from now…2150.

All I can say is: http://9gag.com/gag/aD0rvYB

Mother of god!

Upcoming changes and features and content stuff like that which Anet has said they’d like to incorporate into GW2 “in the future” means that they’re still true to their word. We have had new features and some pretty good QoL improvements, along with the new World Boss spawn schedules and the huge feature pack…
and lots of other things to, but let me say this:

When Anet announces upcoming things they’d like to introduce, that isn’t 100% set in stone, just like how the leaked patch notes were for the new grandmaster traits and some skill reworks, actually that goes for any patch notes. Don’t rely on what the notes say, because it is subject to change. What they say is just an outline of some things they’d like to get to. And if they aren’t able to for whatever reason, that’s entirely fine…

Out of the 4 utility infusions, I might say that the magical infusion is probably the best, though I don’t yet have all 6 ascended jewelry slots (including the back piece which isn’t really jewelry, but it’s part of it)

The next best one looks like either the karma infusion or the gilded (gold) infusion.
Thoughts? would it be worth it if u weren’t looking into doing fractals much?

Just the other day I thought it would awesome if there was a Squirrel race introduced to GW2. Sure it might have nothing to do with anything, but they have such big bushy tails and fluffy bodies.
Squirrel warriors ftw

You do know that you will get kicked if you do AFK for more than a minute when a match has begun. So you cannot get rewarded if you’re kicked…

He must have foreseen the coming of Gw1 and GW2 and that he didn’t like it, so he must’ve had a predecessor carry out his will of being offline for 136 years. Impressive

In my honest opinion. That probably wasn’t really worth it. Sure you still have like 1.7k gold leftover from selling Eternity and buying Juggernaut.

BUT with all the time and effort you put into BOTH sunrise and twilight to make Eternity only to sell it, that’s kinda odd. However, it all comes down to you and what you want. You’re just asking for other people’s opinions on this decision you made. You make the final decision of whether or not it was worth it

Anet even said that they’ll take a break after the battle for LA before starting season2 of living story…

Maybe mid-late May or early June is my best guess

Anyone with a brain knows how broken Berserker Stance is ever since it was buffed.
I know that many people have suggested that it be changed to 100% resistance to conditions instead. Some people might say “whats the difference between 100% resistance and immunity?”

Well, like many have said, with condition duration modifiers, you can easily achieve over 100% condition duration on your target and even up to +220% condition duration at the very most. But that isn’t recommended, because it almost does nothing much for you.

Instead of Berserker Stance being changed to having a 100% reduction of incoming conditions, how about this:

Berserker Stance (8 sec): You gain adrenaline for a short time. The following conditions cannot be applied to you when you use this stance: Cripple, Chill, Immobilize, Weakness, Vulnerability, Blind, Fear, Poison.

he just had to complain about THIS. of all the things…he chose to complain about THIS. ugh

The only way to get mixed up with this is by looking at the Sigil of Agony (applies bleeding on critical hits) maybe it should be renamed or something. But most people do recognize the differences.

Bhawb.7408:

Should they change the current ones to do that? No thanks. I’d love to have new corruption type skills that used a % of your HP though.

That could work too.

Thanks for the suggestions. And like I said, the reason why I ask is because I don’t have current access to GW2 and I won’t for another 4 weeks because of school stuff…

Instead of the corruption skills applying a condition to yourself, they should instead sacrifice a percentage of your life-force to use it rather than applying a condition to yourself.
In my opinion, I think that when the necro skills were being designed, the sacrifice function idea in gw1 was interesting and unique. And it was, but obviously everyone knows (should know) that gw2 has a completely different and new more interactive combat system compared to gw1. The sacrifice thing I think wanted to transfer over, but again, IMO, having the conditions apply to yourself doesn’t do much, especially if you’re facing a heavy condition class. That only makes it easier for your enemy if you’re bleeding, poisoned, or have vulnerability already applied to yourself.

If corruptions were to use life-force in place of having conditions applied to you when you cast them, they might have to be reworked a little bit to make them more use-able…

Genbu.1705:

Sky swimming. Dem mushrooms.

Where and how? tell me plz

So, the next time I get back on GW2 in a few weeks, i’ve decided that I want to make a female charr. I don’t want the physique to look fat or anything too bulky. But the female physique definitely has more options than the male do.
I want something kind of in-between, maybe a little more on the muscular side.

For the face, I want something looking wild, but not ferocious or too normal/vanilla.
I dunno which hair I want for sure, but i’m interested in one of the newer hairstyles and faces. I think I like the hairstyle that has the spiky things in it…if u know what 1 I’m talking about.

Fur color…suggestions/recommendations for a decent color and fur pattern?

Oh heck no! We don’t need more Scarlets running around freaking everyone out! We just killed her, we don’t need to see her back from the dead! Y’all can forget it! You can have any hairstyle y’all want BUT Scarlet’s! lol

dangit. I really want axe to be more viable…plz Anet

Does it affect Ricochet and axe projectiles at all?

Not really. just because it’s titled Survival of the Fittest doesn’t necessarily mean it should be in the WS line. I know what you mean, but then we’d have to choose between empathetic bond, bark skin, poison master OR SotF. I like it being in Nature Magic so we can have both Empathetic Bond AND SotF

I only want this build for Pve stuff. I don’t plan on going in WvW with it

Tbh, 8v8’s should be on bigger maps. The current maps are most suitable for 3v3 4v4 and 5v5.

@rajule, I could do that. didn’t occur to me at first. But I took the 3 points into Radiance for Renewed Justice so I could also get more might from virtue of justice on kill.

Should I put the 3 points from radiance and the 1 from virtues into the Zealous GS trait then?

alright. thanks.

What time of day is it in some of the fractals, especially the dredge fractal? Would the sigil of night work in that specific fractal if it were considered night?
(Say i’m a warrior) I’m just wondering so that I can plan accordingly and have a sigil of night and sigil of dredge-slaying on a great sword along with a powerful potion of dredge slaying and destruction of the empowered trait so that it’ll make things a bit easier…

So I want to make a life steal guardian in Pve with 4 Scavenging Runes and 2 Runes of Vampirism with Mace/x with a superior sigil of blood on the mace and superior sigil of leeching on the offhand.
For my buffs, i’ll use Omnomberry Pie and maintenance oil.

I also want to use Litany of Wrath with this build and my traits will be something like x/x/6/x/x (Meditation Mastery, Mace of Justice and Focused Mind) I know that I want to go 6 in the valor trait line, but i’m not sure if I want Focused Mind or Monk’s Focus for Litany of Wrath…

suggestions of gear/stats to go with this?

Because it’s actually called teamwork and strength in numbers

Which do you think is better? Unholy Martyr draws 1 condition every 3 seconds only from 1 ally at a time in Death Shroud, but you also gain 5% life force when u draw the condition.

If you use Fetid Consumption right, you can almost lose a condition every second or so from each minion (if you use the Lich Form mark of horror first) but you won’t have all those minions up for very long.
So which do you think is better?

I’m not sure if this is actually a bug, but if you throw the keg to the other team’s side, it scores for them. I’d like Keg Brawl to be fun and all that but not to have people on your own team scoring for the other team.
Could this please be looked into?

keep in mind that the more health u have, the more you’ll have to heal in order to keep it up as much as possible, although I’m sure that won’t be so much of a problem in WvW zerg clashes.
I don’t really see a lot of condition cleanse on this build so that might be something to consider.

Dat wrath. so much smiting! lol

Your charr is just so beastly huge. its amazing.
And nice guide btw.

Zaorysh.7935:

Zerath Bloodburn, warrior of blood legion

8/10. Great name!

its funny how much we rely on wiki these days. XD

One thing that should/would/could be a cool addition, is if enemies were immune or resistant to certain conditions or effects. (like in GW1)

All the other destroyers and flame elementals are immune to fire, so should the Fire Elemental boss and all fire types should be more susceptible to frost/ice attacks.
Ice elementals should be immune to chill and take extra damage from fire damage, Risen should have a resistance to poison, Earth elementals should not be able to bleed and have a resistance to fire. (All elemental types shouldn’t be able to bleed)

Aside from underwater combat, you do like being able to swim and explore underwater places at least?

Don’t worry. He’s coming back. They all come back at some point.
Everyone who has said they’re “officially done with GW2,” has got to be full of it. I’ll give him about a month. Two months at the very most. Once they see that season 2 of Living Story has started and all this new content is out, they know they won’t be able to resist it for very long >:)

Ohhh, for a second I thought you were talking about the Hall of Monuments area being in the Far Shiverpeaks, but that’s to the right of that lake up there.

I’d like to know something. I fully acknowledge Zhaitans corruption of Orr after the Cataclysm that Vizier Khilbron cast on Orr to stop the invasion of the charr, but it also sunk the land.
When big Z woke, he brought back up Orr with him (somehow) and reanimated its inhabitants into the Risen.

Was the corruption so strong that it managed to turn the priests/priestesses of the gods as well? Because Orr is like THE land/city of the gods or whatever.
Could the corruption be purified or reversed to turn back the corrupted priests?

And IF there was something done to Orr so that it could be reclaimed, it should be something like a grand meta event where if you cleanse all the temples and hold them for a certain time, then piece by piece, parts of Orr would be cleansed and eventually to the point that everything is uncorrupted. I think that also, it would remain cleansed for a good amount of time before the risen forces would reassemble to take back Orr, especially the temples.

Will there be new underwater skills added to replace some of the missing skills used on land? or figure out a way to make some them work while underwater? Guardians don’t have access to Wall of Reflection or Hallowed Ground, which sort of makes sense, but it could be implemented.

Warriors can’t use their Physical Skills underwater, so will there be something to replace them underwater?

Rangers can’t use their trap skills, muddy terrain or their “Guard” shout.
Thieves don’t have access to caltrops, smoke screen, shadow refuge, and blinding powder.
Engineers can’t use Flamethrower, Rocket Boots, Flame Turret or thumper turret.

Mesmers can’t use Veil, Illusion of Life, Null Field, or blink.
Necromancers can’t use any of their wells, spectral wall, poison cloud or their flesh Wurm
And Ele for some reason can’t use Ether Renewal underwater, which is kinda weird. They can’t use any of their conjured weapons, glyph of storms and glyph of elementals(lesser and elite), and they can’t use blink.

What i’d like to know is if there’s a plan to fill these empty slots eventually.

Also, will there be 1handed/offhand underwater weapons? that would be sweet. Maybe i’m just getting ahead of myself here
