Ooooh! Thanks for the info on the infusions. I’ll Def be waiting on those. I’m good on might and vulnerability most of the time, so I’ll go with force/accuracy. I figured that’d be best, but I’ve been away for a while and when I saw accuracy for 50s I was thinking it got nerfed. Thanks for all the input!

I mostly PvE. I’m thinking Bloodlust, but I’m not sure if it’s still worth it since you lose stacks on swap now.

So, I’ve been maining my mesmer for a while now. I love the class, but wanted to play something with more combos, more power, and less survivability. I’ve had a lvl 80 ele chilling for a while now. I had him in soldiers gear and he hit like a wet noodle while still getting squished. I passed my Zojja’s armor on to him and just crafted my Zojja’s Staff. He’s a blast to play now and I have learned some cool combos and how to survive a bit better. I’m running Superior Runes of the Scholor on my armor and will be upgrading my Versatile Simple infusions to Precise Infusions slowly(freaking expensive!!!)
Anyways, I was wondering:
1) What kind of sigils should I throw on my staff?
Most of what I see says to use Force and Night/Slaying and I have no intention of carrying around that many Staves. I was thinking Force and Accuracy, but I saw that they are super cheap, is it no good? +7% Crit Chance sounds good to me.
2) What other weapon sets should I carry with me? Or, is this even necessary with this class considering the plethora of skills offered by just the staff.
3) Swiftness, Might, and AoE heals are awesome. Are there any other cool combos that I haven’t discovered yet?

Screw convention. Play how you want. When I see people stacking up, I just do my own thing, unless I just feel like mindlessly nuking to get some quick cash. It’s more fun to me to play the game as it was intended. Play a glass cannon ele, that’ll get you out of a corner in a hurry, as you will get squished if you don’t sit in water and get carried. As far as reflecting on Lupi, that’s a feature, not an exploit. If you want to fight him without reflects, you are not alone and shouldn’t have trouble finding people who feel the same way. If you’re PUGging, just avoid “EXP” “Zerk” and “red Run” as those are usually the meta groups. GW2 has an awesome community. Be part of that and guide low-levels/first timers through, they normally want to experience the content as intended.

GW2 isn’t WoW. They give us new content CONSTANTLY! Guess how much of that content has been something that you had to buy… None of it. What’s the issue here? If you just love the game and want to support them, there is some really cool stuff in the gem store with no pay to win-ness to it. I say keep up the good work ANET. Y’all rock.

I know! Let’s get rid of all end game content and incentives for hardcore players! It can be Call of Duty: MMORPG Edition.

Hi, returning player here. I came back after a break to find the guild that I was a part of to be all-but disbanded. I enjoy Fractals (currently lvl 40), dungeons, and general PvE. I do enjoy some mild PvP and some WvW with a good group. Most of all, I miss the guild events. I am not interested in any guild that is not 18+ only, or that is easily offended/takes things too seriously. I prefer TS3, but Mumble, Vent, or Raidcall still work. Message me in game if you think I’d make a good addition to your guild. CornBread.3268

Battle for Lion's Arch Open Issues and Tips

Let me start by saying, this is an awesome event! I was a bit upset over the long period of no reply to the issues, but I understand how it must have been scrambling to try to figure out how to fix them.

Now, with this latest patch, there is no way that only letting 50 people have the boon is going to work. Especially if anyone is ever going to get the 6 minute achievement. Reason being that this is a scaled up event. Many people are in here on level 10 and below characters, and 80’s with horrible builds. Many people can’t comprehend the mechanics of the fight. I have yet to be in a fight where conditions aren’t being reflected at a rate that could cause siezures if you looked at the knight’s stat bar. Between people with low damage builds, low level characters, and not understanding how the fight works, it’s just not going to work out.

I understand how the fight was intended to be done, but the people of Lion’s Arch figured out a better way to defeat the enemy that you designed. Personally, I think that is awesome! Why not just let us do it our way instead of trying to force us to do it the way it was originally intended. After all, we are the ones who pay the bills. With this spectacular finale that you have all put together for us, is the players getting a little bit of extra loot really a big deal?

Anyways, just my two cents. Keep up the great work!

nope condition damage ticks do not proc SoM

I’ll have to check on that, but I’m pretty sure they do. Anyways, I’m talking PvE/Dugeon, cant show builds for that on gw2skills. I found a site though. Check the link at the top of my post and see what yall think.

Good idea. That does become a problem from time to time. I like the thrill of the crime as this is not a damage based build and it offers good support for the party.

I run 0/0/30(VI, VII, XI)/20(VI, X)/20(II, III) With P/D SB. I use signet of malice, SR, Caltrops, and signet of shadows. For the elite, I switch between DS (when fighting mobs) and Hounds 1v1. I find that I can keep 10-15 bleeds on a single target. I can also tackle very large mobs. The AoE is AMAZING with signet of malice. I use DS as an extra healing skill. Try it out, troll me, whatever. It works great for me. If you have some input on making it better. Please feel free to post it.
