Guild Wars 2

Stitch.1794:

Look in your acheivements at the Knight of the Thorn side story. It should start automatically after the first daily reset after you defeat Mordremoth.

You can choose a greatsword, sword, dagger, sceptre or shield when the side story is completed. It can’t be stat-swapped via the forge, but can be via an alternate method. For 1000 unbound magic, an NPC in your home instance will not only reset the stats to let you choose again, but will also let you choose which type of weapon again.

You can also repeat the quest with alts to get more of the weapons, but you have to craft some fairly expensive items to do so (for initial character, these items are provided for free as achievement rewards). All the details are in the wiki page I linked above.

Thank you kindly for your help

Somebody at some point informed me that during or after the completion of the HoT story play through, I will have a chance to do an achievement that will result in a reward of an ascended weapon of my choosing.

1. Is this true? If so, can someone link to gw2 efficiency so I can read more about how to do this.

2. If above is all true, can I take said reward to the mystic toilet and change the stats? Its kinda hard to describe in words, but my end result is to unlock the Wupwup skin. In actuality, I use Marauder stats. Would I choose Wupwup stat weapon as my HoT story reward, then mystic toilet it to a Svaards?

Im so confused

There’s nothing exciting about it.

Regular, fine, masterwork, and rare equipment merits as trash to be salvaged, and mostly everything can be crafted or bought with some sort of currency. Face it, the only decent loot in this game comes that can’t be bought with gold are crafting materials or items you grind for (e.g. ascended items bought using map specific tokens) or skins. Bag slots are used to hold the sheer amount of garbage loot so you can play without hitting the NPC. Does anyone see anything wrong with this?

I propose to reconcile the equipment / sigils / runes in this game.

• Any equipment masterwork or below has no business in this game. Delete them and make rare equipment the standard (but don’t call it rare).
• Delete minor and major sigils and runes. and remove the level /rarity requirements of superior runes and sigils.
• Add exotic equipement / ascended equipement / legendary equipment / superior sigil drops that are untradeable and have something unique about them. Like a piece of equipment that only has one stat, or have an uncommon ability (e.g. increased damage vs a certain pve mob – by the way, those sigils should be deleted as well)

Hate to burst your bubble son, but the game is 5 years old now. They arent going to put this much effort into redesigning the way the loot system works just make a few people happy. I think most are fine with it.

And im shocked that this single virtual item alone cost more than a real car in real life.

No idea where you are from, but a $1000 isnt a valid argument on a purchase price of a vehicle. Here in the USA, the average purchase price of a car is over $30k. You cant even buy a USED car for $1k that will be worth anything more than a headache and more repairs bills. MAYBE…just MAYBE you are lucky and can find a beater car for less than $1k and it be worth driving for a bit.

Please dont base your argument on a rather outlandish statement such as this. It is such an exageration I couldnt take your post seriously.

Full zerk is the best choice. If staying alive is an issue, you can consider running some Marauder parts. Condi is pretty much useless on staff, not enough damaging conditions to make it worthwhile.

Ty kindly sir. This helped give me direction. Have a good day

As the title asks, what stats should the Ele staff players be aiming for? Speaking in terms of open world PvE and low tier fractals. I ask because the staff seems like a mix bag of condi in some attunes and then power on other attunes. Which leaves me asking.

So should I shoot for a Vipers set or Marauders. I say Marauders, because no matter what I always get my ass kicked in HoT maps and would like to sacrifice SOME dps for more HP pool lol

In general world PVE, using GS and whatever, do I shatter my Illusions when I have 3 out and the next ones are off CD? Or do I basically let them DPS until they die and replace kitten. And if that is the case, what do I do while they are active? Just auto attack?

Do be aware: You will lose any and all upgrades on your weapon.

Good luck.

Thanks. Luckily I just made it this weekend and have not put anything into a slot on the weapon. So no upgrades will be lost. I just have to run AB meta a few time to get enough Aurillium(sp?) to purchase the viper orichalc recipe.

Really? That doesnt seem right to me. Considering the Yassiths takes WAY more mats to make than the Svaards when you factor in the 50 Fulgerite you need. The mats for that alone are nuts. I guess I will get the Orichalc ins and throw them in the toilet and see what I get

Thanks

I just crafted the Svaards Greatbow (Marauder stats) and realize Id rather play a condi build and just burn everything in sight. Can I do the mystic forge thing and change my Svaard greatbow into a Yassiths Greatbow? (Viper stats)

Exactly. I just dropped 450g at the TP to get the Chaos Bow skin. A skin I have been wanting for ages. I must have previewed the darn thing over 500 times making sure it was the bow that I wanted to complete my outfit. NEVER ONCE while using the preview skin function did it show the god awful black string, yet as soon as I equipped it, there it is. I was soooooooooo piisssed off I screamed NOOOOOOOOOOO and my kid came running downstairs to check on me.

Yes, I get that in real life bows have bow strings. As stated above by Khisanth. But where have you ever seen an actually bow in real life LOOK LIKE A CHAOS BOW? Let me keep my fantasy bow looking like a fantasy bow and get rid of the ugly line that ruins the entire look.

/end rant

As the title says, will be getting my Ascended Marauders longbow tomorrow after reset, and am wondering what is good to put in the empty slots as far as sigils go?

I plan on running full Marauder gear if it makes a difference.

Ok, so lets say forget about the GS for the time being. I want to play mainly the LB guardian. What gear stats would you suggest for the LB as my primary wep? After that, what is a few good weps to go along with the LB as a primary. Staff? Torch?

Need advice on stats/gear type to run. My only plans at this point is for PVE. My guild is really casual, nobody cares about meta builds, etc etc. For general PvE, LOW LOW fractals, and normal dungeons I will be running GS/LB Dragonhunter. This may not be the proper combo of weapons, but its fun for me.

What I currently have equipped is Rampagers gear. It seems to do ok, but was curious how vipers would be? Or should I just ditch the condi and go full Zerk.

Any other insight please feel free to help. Thanks mates
