Some info on myself/background in gw2. I bought this game around 5~6 weeks ago and I started my first character as a ranger. I’ve gotten her up to 80 full exo berserker and have been sPvPing/WvWing very heavily. However, other than condition builds in sPvP i did not enjoy being squishy and I do enjoy playing a very tanky class.
So I am currently leveling a guardian and was hoping on tips/builds and advice on how to trait and gear a guardian to be the trolliest tankiest mofo out there in WvW (havoc or zerg alike). Shower me with wisdom!
Here is what I did. For every phase go to a seperate battery and defend it to the very end of the timer. I did west for 75%, then north for 50% and east for 25%.
Make sure you stay till the end of the timer and you should get it.
I came to the forums just to report this bug but I saw this thread.
I just created a new Norn Guardian and I am soloing content. Whenever i talk to a guard all my personal audio stops playing. No footsteps no shouts (save yourselves etc..) no weapon sounds. Music and enemy sounds however still play. Going to character select then back into the game is a temp fix. This is since tequatl patch.
I’m running windows 7 (i5 2500k/HD 7970) with a sound blaster recon 3d sound card.
yes I did a different battery on each phase :/ but I didn’t get it on megalaser seems to be buggy. My buddy was with me doing the same thing but he got it.
So far I’m proud to have been part of all 3 kills for teq on SBI server (GO SBI!).
And every single time I’ve been very careful and meticulous about getting a separate vigil battery for every 25% phase of teq all my friends got the achievement except me, this is my last achievement for the meta. I’m really annoyed and confused can someone help me out here? Do I need to defend the laser too?? Otherwise I’ve been defending the batteries in the same sequence as everyone else and have been getting gold in the defense event but no achievement :/.
Anet made it impossible and EXTREMELY boring to solo. I run best in slot exotics and know how to play my class very well.
1- Underwater battles involve boats that are surrounded by mines with a MASSIVE hitbox and they keep respawning super fast. So you have to range the boats which takes FOREVER…. even with an exotic harpoon gun doesnt matter, try to melee it youll die from the mines.
2- When you finish the meta and get to the shore. The shore battle is really bad and unfair. I’m pretty sure I killed 30-40 on my own and was responding as fast as possible and frantically AOE critting 3k~5k on mobs yet the morale of the pact kept dropping to zero and in the end I failed the entire chain.
Very badly designed invasion. Either state it as a group event or make it possible to solo. And remove those kittened mines or reduce the health of the orrian boats. Water battle is flimsy enough as it is no need to prolong it and make it more boring. My idea of fun is not to auto attack a boat from range for 15 minutes.
I have only been playing GW2 for 2~3 weeks now very recent purchase and I can safely say that SAB is way way better content than scarlet. Scarlet just felt like a farming chore that you HAD to do or you would fall behind in wealth.
I finished W2Z1 first day of release before the nerf its not impossible at all its actually fun but I do agree the jump in difficulty from W1Z3 to W2Z1 was a tad too much so that nerf was somewhat justified.
As for zones 2 and 3 in world 2 the complaint is that they were tediously long. Knowing that once you start one you cant turn off the game and leave without finishing it meant you had to commit to 1~2 hours every you start zone 2 or 3 that imo is not okay. They need to create a single save point smack in the middle of zones 2 and 3 in world 2 to allow people to go practice their daily routines :/.
Just my 2 cents really as for difficulty world 2 on normal was a very satisfying difficulty finishing a zone/puzzle was very very rewarding I can’t comment on TM since I didn’t start that yet but I will be starting it very soon
and I do enjoy playing a very tanky class.
