Guild Wars 2

Last day of sale, bank tab expansions are sale!!

A big thank you to all the views and comments we managed to get a decent amount of commonly requested items (may have already been pre planned the whole time ~ but lets claim the credits peeps haha).

After i return from work, ill put a big post containing a list of all sale items as they will be gone by tomorrow.

Good luck and have fun all!

Silver fed o matic is now on sale for 400 gems

Alrighty peeps, tomorrow will be the last day of gem store sale. This is your last chance to comment on this thread because after the sale this thread will probably be closed.

Id also like to remention the that bank tabs, storage expanders would be really really awesome #believe!

I will also post a final reply containing all the items that went on sale as well.

GOODLUCK!!

Soul River Glider, Black Lion Keys, Bandit Sniper Outfit and Complete living world season 2 are now on sale.

We still have two more days left before sale ends. We gotten a handful of items this thread wanted (in particular, the ones that kept being rementioned and upvoted)

Keep it coming folks!

^ ask kindly and you shall receive. Share inventory slots are now on sale 15% off

Copper fed o matic is also on sale as well as a variety of other items today.

Still have some time til sale ends, keep commenting and upvoting your desired items!

Good Luck

CHARACTER SLOT EXPANSION is now on sale!!

As well as additional crafting license and various other items!

Well done, keep this thread going!

Good News ~ Some people in this thread have requested Belinda’s greatsword skin and Grenth hood skin.

They are now on sale!!

Keep the comments coming peeps (:

Some Requested items mentioned in this thread such as certain gliders and bag expansions are now on sale!!

Keep the comments coming and maybe we’ll get more good stuff.

Its all RNG (random number generator) mate, the chances of it dropping are extremely low from mystic forge or other in game rewards (e.g. like openning a bag, do certain missions).

Because of the low chances its extremely valuable and therefore they made it possible to craft it.

Theres no way to farm them as far as I know

Thats it peeps, keep the comments coming.
I personally like to see bank tab expansion, storage expansion and character slot expansion go on sale (:

Please feel free to repeat comment(s) and/or suggest items that have already been discussed or up vote them.

Hello Fellow Gw2 Community,

I want to start a positive community feedback thread. As you may or may not know, ArenaNet is hosting their annual Anniversary Sales which delivers new gem store discounts on current or retired items/products, with new sale items appearing everyday until the end of August.

Now what Gem Store item/service/products (retired or current) would you personally like to be included in this sale.

Please comment what you would like to see (please keep this positive and not have a rant about anything). Hopefully with enough comments and attention this thread will reach ArenaNets eyes and recurring comments may be considered/included in the sale!

Aimming to hopefully have a nice player and developer communication / collaboration.

Hi Anet,

I believe heathcliff from Sword Art Online (the anime overlord) has taken over gw2 pvp. Myself and several other players are currently trapped in Battle of Champions Dusk (unranked).

The game went into over time when our lord was under attack, my team lost in the end. The game ended (ie your team lost) but none of the players could leave. Ive tried relogging characters, quitting the application but I am sucked back in ~ whilst accumulating enough dishonor time to start the 3rd installation of the game Dishonour by Arkane Studios.

We are running low on food and the other players are attempting to cannibalise our ranger pets. I am quite concerned for our smokescales and bristlebacks.

Please resolve this before they become an endangered species.

Thank you,

Here’s my original post but anet takes a while to respond, does the forum community know how to help me (the original post is below)?

The APS is win 6 ranked games in a day.

Ive jst reach part IV today.

Ive played 20games today, lost 12 of them but won 8 (yes im bad, but thats not the point).

So it shows up ive won 6 games on theif and 2 on mesmer, history also accounts for this.

But I didnt get aps for it,

is it bugged or am I missing something

First off, Im a noob player i know that.

So new rules are diamonds/legendaries = saphh
ruby/sapp = eme
anything below = amber

…..and i can tell they are legendary players coz they got exalted legend next 2 their name or the legendary wings.

so ive been on a losing streak because I’ve been constantly being match up with sapphires while my whole team is half amber….

this has been happeningly alot, so i’ve decided to start a family in t4 emerald. please join my for a house warming party, where all affected families may cry 2gether.

The legendary pvp wings is called the ascension and is normally tucked away but during combat it flares up and expands upwards in size.

I was just wondering if something similar would trigger ad infintium to expand as well?

Could it be like the pvp ascension? Do you have to unstow your weapon or something along those lines?

Hi Anet,

The trait talks about activates balanced stance when you are dazed, knocked down, launched, pushed, pulled or stunned. Increase stance duration by 25% and gain VIGOR when using a stance.

I don’t see vigor in the list of boons post patch?

Also in pvp the warrior healing signet says 382 but says 381 in combat logs……AHAHA only if you’ve got time but the vigor is what Im mostly concerned about

P.S. the changes from the patches from wat i’ve read briefly have been very healthy and I quite enjoy majority of the changes ((: alot

Cheers

Hey all,

Hope everyone is enjoying the season. I have 2 questions:
1) when it says ends april 19th, does that mean it ends on the day or at the end of the day (p.s. i live in AUS and therefore would it be 20th for me)?
2) for example your acc/toon is in more than 1 guild team and per say and both teams are both in top 100, do you get 2x reward at end of season or not?

Cheers in advance!

Hello Fellow Rangers,

I was thinking of having an f4 mechanic toggle key for avoiding combat and guarding for our pets.

I know that it quite easy to sort of moving your mouse to manually clicking this on and off, but in PvP every split second is quite precious and whilst the f3 return to me is a great way to make your pet come back to you, your pet will charge back into the fray relatively quickly.

The specific scenario I’m talking about is when I’ve given both my pet and myself damage multiplying traits (e.g. next pet attack does 50% more dmg) and I really wanna save this 50% boost on its pet attack, however its often used on an auto attack which isn’t what I really wanted.

Would this addition be a change the ranger community wouldn’t mind, support or disapprove of?

Thoughts?

Piercing Light: The daze duration of this trait has been reduced from 1 second to 0.5 seconds. The daze from this trait is no longer unblockable when used with Test of Faith.

Does that mean it still dazes but only when someone is NOT blocking?

The more i read it the more I get confused….one of those days…

Relevant Post Patch Changes to this build:
Smite Condition: Increased the number of conditions removed from one to two.
Contemplation of Purity: The cooldown of this skill has been reduced from 60 seconds to 40 seconds.
Wings of Resolve: This skill is no longer affected by movement-altering effects, such as cripple and swiftness. It also no longer queues and will activate immediately when possible.
Test of Faith: The initial damage of this skill has been reduced from 66% of the trap’s full damage to 50%, for a damage reduction of 25%. Updated the effects of this trap to cull less frequently.
Piercing Light: The daze duration of this trait has been reduced from 1 second to 0.5 seconds. The daze from this trait is no longer unblockable when used with Test of Faith.
Changed the Sigil of Energy (for PvP only) to grant 5 seconds of vigor on weapon swap (on the same 9-second cooldown) instead of giving 50 endurance.

Basically…->
good): conditions removal is more effective and frequent with this build.
bad): test of faith’s daze is no longer unblockable, can’t dodge str8 away after weapon swap, daze duration and damage output from traps are nerfed

@Inviictuzz – thank you for replying it has made my day haha (I think your english was better than mine)!

Definately feel free to edit, change the traits, runes and skills to suit your playing style, as I think a compatible build is a more useful/successful for individual players.

Now that the patch has increased the condition clearing for smiting condition & Contemplation of purity, the additional 2 extra condi cleanse and 600 burning damage you would get from shelter’s 2 second block does not seem as appealing [also when using a healing skill u smite 2 conditions anyways] – furthermore the heal is 4.5k heal over a 30 sec cd vs 11.8k heal for 24 second (healing is love ^^).

The JI would definately increase the mobility and be handy in team situations/successfully finishing off stomps (but since I pug alot in pvp ~team coordination sometimes….doesnt exist LOL) but would reduce the condi cleansing and healing of this build.

The runes you suggest, increase damage quite a bit (its quite nice actually!!) I choose speed over traveller because it was of more vitality and because free LEL.

Have fun with the build, let me know how it goes ((:

I agree with the fact that condis have been more prevalent since HoT came out but I think CoP still is a valuable utility skill!

The game is changing at a fast pace, so they only thing to do is to move with it. CoP should be seen as another option during a condi fight but shouldnt been seen as the ace or trumph card

I’ve been using a build I made https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Fearless-DPS-DH-Build/first#post5939350 and it handles condi reapers quite well. It’s main strengths are high dps, healing and condi cleansing.

With practice/familiarizing yourself with the build, reading condi classes & when they will burst as well as taking advantages of opportunities in a fight will be very handy. Give it a go and let me know what you think in that forum post. Goodluck & Have fun

P.S. I also miss the old metas and playstyles :P

Is this for pvp, pve or wvw?

If your lacking crit chances – try and incorporate the fury boon for 20% additional crit chance as 20% > 7 via traits of even runes. As I generally like my sigils to have a unique effect (like air) rather than just giving more stats.

For example super rune of rage – increases fury durations, gives fury upon hit and u have +5% more dmg when you have fury boon on.

Also air is +10% dmg ontop of a critical hit so its basically acts as ferocity (so ferocity vs precision is your choices)

Hey fellow Guardias,

I’ve created a DH build with nice offense/defense synergies (the link for the build is just below), the main selling points for anyone whose is deciding if it is worthwhile read this whole post is:

A) High DPS with punishing burning stacks
B) High Healing, Blocks & Tanking potential
C) Mass Condi Clearing

Full Link: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQNAsfTn8cCVDhVdCeDB8DhF/h6KcvgPwKAqg6UO8P/2H-TZhAABkittenAUa/hPOCAA8AAovMAA

A) The DPS comes from high crit chance on sword/torch, Longbow dmg, marauder stats, traits, high burning intensity from torch 4’s Zealot’s Fire which can be used 2x in a row + utilities like Smite Condition and Test of Faith.
o) a Single Torch 4 Zealots Flame Crits heavy target golem for 1.5k + 1.8k burning dmg and even more on zerk light or medium armour classes

B)
Healing:
Purification Trap = 11.8k healing every 24 second (with handy daze and blindness),
Wings of resolve 3.8K x2 (via renewed focus),
Smite condition 1.9K every 16 sec,
Contemplation of purity every 48 sec,
Leeching Sigil on LB every weapon swap

Blocks – Valor Valorous Defense, Fragments of Faith, Sword 3, Shield of courage x 2 (via renewed focus),
Each block gives u 2 might for 15 seconds, burns the attacking foe for 300 dmg and removes 1 condition with a 1 sec cd via traits
Also blocking causes justice to reach maximum charge

Tanking – comes from healing, blocks & traits + personal fav Hunter’s fortification = take 10% less dmg wen u have 0 conditions and each block removes a condition & renewed focus for 3 sec of invul

C)
Condi cleansing – already spoke about them above, see link and/or wiki for details of how the traits, skills etc work, if your new + torch 5 in a team fight heal clears condi for your team (situation dependent tho)

So that’s a brief run down of the build, its quite fun to use especially those struggling against condi builds.

If these post gets alot of views/replies I’ll probs post a youtube video on how to use this build, when to use what etc.

Goodluck & Have Fun

Thieves before HoT was a likable class bcoz of its high dps and speed. Since HoT the games move towards being more a fast paced style of play (which is fine, don’t get me wrong).

But condi classes are quite the norm now (which is also fine) due new possibilities for most, if not all classes. Theifs dont have much condi clearing unless u trait or use shadow arts (and one in the new daredevil) line or runes or sigils which significantly reduces our dps output, if we take these options. I feel like we either have to take these changes to be viable in pvp and I know anet is trying to promote more diversity, so this may be beneficial. I am aware that highly skilled theives will choose their battles, opportunities and uses possible traits or weapons like sword to deal with heavy condi classes but overall i feel like the theif community in pvp has dropped.

Heres my suggestion: CONSUME PLASMA (mesmer steal – gives all boons but doesnt include the newly formed boon resistance – now a 10 sec resistance may be too op but even a 3-5 second resistance would be helpful)

Shadowstep/shadow return – used to break stun, mobility, disengage and condi clearing however, the 3 conditions only clearing wen you head back. So you either have to run away with the condis on you or clear em and head back to a hot zone. Would it be better for shadow step to clear 2 conditions and return to clear 1 (so its still 3 but divided up)?

Thoughts

lyriael.4375:

o.O really?
Consider me stunned. Or dazed. Or anything like that. For the next may be 10 min.

I’ll have to do the math on that one day…
:) Ty for confirming this to me

OK here is my build for ranger with high dps and actual pvp viability:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQJATRjUqQ/KWxCGsAXLG+DKP37hgfLiFIA+04HG+SmWFA-TZRBABFt/Q8lBu4IAoxDAAgLBAA

Weapons:
Longbow (Energy & Force sigil)
GS (Intelligence & Force)

Pets:
Wolf (for long CC – taunt + fear)
Smokescale (high dps/pressure) – if you dont have HoT you can choose any pet you prefer ~ i used lynx

Amulet/Runes
Marauder (slightly less dps but more crit chance and vitality tradeoff)
Rage – increased fury duration, ferocity and +5% dps when on fury (for greater crit chance and more damage on crits)

Healing: We heal as one
Utilities: Signets of renewal, wild and hunt
Elite: Strength of the pack

Traits: See above link.

How to do the 20-22K crit on npc bots or on map specific npcs (e.g. svanir, cheiftan and lord of foefire): → Use elite, all utilities, and heal as one and use GS 2 “Maul” and have wolf on. 10-11k from you and another 10-11k from pet.

Now because it takes quite a while to set up the 20-22k combo, its not really recommended on actual players. However you can still eat other players alive:

BUILD USE TIPS:
1v1: Start off with longbow and use your elite and have smokescale pet activated. Use longbow 2 and ur smoke scale will do his shadow step attack as well (5-7k starting dps). Followed by longbow 4 if approperiate. Then use longbow 3 for the stealth when your enemy is close enough – SWAP to GS in the 3 sec of stealth cast signet of hunt +/- wild then maul them for 6-9k (use pet skill for taunt/cc to increase chance of landing hit), use GS 4,3 or 5 till you can maul again or weaponswap back to bow.

I’ll post more details about strategies of this build soon, its late and I needa sleep LOL because knowing what to you when will help you survive the entire match w/o dying and ie more chances of winning match because your not in respawn CD.

Thank you everyone for responding and actually being helpful!! 160k LOLOL thats enuff to kill a full soldier rampaging warrior thrice over (rip)

apocalypso.4895:

That’s the kind of pointless thing that I find fun lol. Self buffed I could do near 44k maybe even more.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNBhYDbkSFKYxKWwVF4axweQ5B/4OF7tHAJwHHHxTfyOKmD-TZRBwAX3fYxBBoyFAgcZAAPAAA

(I don’t have the expac so I’m not sure if druid or new pets add anything to this)

Tail swipe was near 19k~ and maul 24k~ on light golem. However that’s not possible at once to execute on a light golem because they are one shotted. On a heavy armor golem the damage combined was 32k~ – 18k~ maul and 13k~ tailswipe.

Keep in mind this build is not viable in pvp… at all.

So these changes you suggested have definately improved my dps substantially, hit the 28k

(having difficulting hitting, 44K – idk if i could trouble you for a video demo on youtube) ~ or even maybe a couple of screenshots of the combat log and setup would be gr8

but in regards to viability in pvp LOLOL….zerg food, not even any dps will literally kill me

ty all for answering (:

Hey every1,

My friend recently swore he saw a ranger do 28k crit damage in PvP on a bot/npc targets (combined DPS of a pet attack and GS 2). I’ve been tryin to replicate this seemingly impossible number. The best I’ve gotten is around 20-21K mark. I was just wondering if any1 else can confirm this or they themselves have or know a build that can crit higher?

This 28k was done to either a mesmer or engi npc target in HoTm

Because 7k extra dmg is a srs no. and since I use a rather squish build, I wanna end fights quick.

I will also post up my current build and how i got the 20-21k crit dmg to see if any1 can edit anything to improve it further for more dps, as I want the build that does 28k crit dmg and then from there edit it accordingly to match my play style (ie more survival)

nvm some1 just told me in map chat ty

Recently bought the upgrade as a guild, just wondering if a NPC appears for it or something because normally after an upgrade a large ping or npcs come to show u where it is. Currently idk how to access it or activate it all pls help. ty

For bunker/tanky builds you generally wanna have celestial stats

Weapons you can choose from: hammer or rifle

Sigils: focus on survival so maybe blood and generosity for condi clearin and heal/dmg

Rune: optional depends on what you wanna get out of it (ie toughness, vital, power etc)

Trait line: Fire arms, Inventions, Scrapper

This is just a starting guide, if you want specifics i can describe more in detail. Because figuring out one the suits you will be more effective than if i just give you mine which may not match ur play style gl

I’ve made a scrapper build for fast condi take downs and for successful stomps in team fights or 1v1s. Been playing engi quite a bit but I could always use new perspectives and constructive advice for it.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQJAqancoCFpi1aB2XBEqiF2ii+3P+kH8DLxAIMFvoXD-TJhAABDt/QCPAg8LDAwJAAA

Quick Summary of link:

power: 2150
armour: 2029
health: 15,922
crit chance: 39% & crit dmg: 150%
condi dmg: 1224 & condi duration 42.33% (bleeding – 75.33% & burning – 95.33%)

Strengths:
High condi pressure (more dmg with killstreaks)
Numerous instant cast skills including healing, utilities, elite and tool bit kit (thanks to gyros)
Reflect, team stealths, reveal, invul, protection/damage reducers and stability during stomps
Elite = 5 condi to 5 boons (Lyssa Rune) for condi clearing
Mov’t speed

Weaknesses (so far):
No extra vitality and minimal toughness
Tanky builds
Being Outnumbered
Certain builds (once in a while, you 1v1 a really weird build but somehow works)
Player Error (due to you being very squishy, you need to wait for your opportunities and pick your fights)

Useful tips and tactics:
Stealth before using incendiary ammo + blow torch combo
Reconstruction Field (F1) &/or Defense Field (F2) during stomps/ressing
Elixir S or Stealth during stomps (2 stacks of stability on you and function gyro from trait already tho)
Flamethrower Napalm AoE onto a capture point to pressure players off node

This is a fun condi build to play, feel free to edit it in any way shape or form to suit your play style as your more likely to have success if the build is right for you. But let me know what you peeps think.

Goodluck & Have fun.

I am actually thankful i didnt even know about these nodes in dry top, gonna head there now but I do also think a few more nodes would be alot nicer

Axe and warhorn, I dont think it matters to much. For example during certain boss fights the chilled from axe 3 may be helpful. Mainly want warhorn for the blast effect on warhorn 5 and the boons it gives which are quite handy (3 stacks of might, fury and swiftness)

If you gonna take on the tank role (e.g. vale guardian) may as well change your skirmishing traitline to beast mastery for “we heal as one” to make it a 16 sec CD skill with a 8.5k hp burst heal with 3-4K regen heal over 15 seconds dependin on your boon duration etc

The Quick draw trait is particularly helpful as it reduces CD of the skill used by 66% while that trait is active after weapon swap. Since the CD of staff 5 water field is 25 sec (quite a long time), with the trait it allows you to use it be ready to use quite quickly or staff 3 or warhorn 5’s blast combo for quicker area heal combos.

Of course team work, communication and co ordination needs to be there as well

In heavy condi situations pls feel free to change signet of wild to renewal and any other parts accordingly depending on your situation. This is just a basis (starting point if you will)

The druid build used consists of

Weapons consists of staff & warhorn on off hand
Skirmishing (Trapper’s Expertise, Spotter & Quick Draw)
Nature Magic (Allies Aid, Windbourne notes, Nature’s vengence)
Druid (Cultivated Synergy, Natural Stride, Lingering Light)

Most cleric stats with some minstrel for boon duration (regen from trap heal mostly) & some soldier stats (for surivial – however it should be noted that the toughness may make you susceptible to the tank role instead of healer)

Healing: Trap Spring
Utilities: Stone spirit, signet of the wild and signet of the stone
Elite: Spirit of Nature

Runes: Superior Sigil of Water

I suppose a proper build entrance would be better than a misleading title, sorry for not making it clear, still kinda new to using forums

Hello Anet,

I’ve just realised that warhorns (and mace) don’t get alot of love at the mystic forge, with the only craftable option being mystic caller. Whilst all the other skins often has 2-3 or more skins types that can be crafted at the MF (focus loving). As a necromancer, I want a cool looking warhorn skin

i’ve looked through the wardrobe options and I really like pinnacle warhorn but when I wiki the answer on how to obtain, you need 29K aps…lel last time i check the leaderboard only half a dozen ppl have that no. or less.

What do you peeps think, any other less loved weapon types need more skin options?

Just sent Anet the bug in a report format. They responded diligently telling me that they are aware it is an issue and are working hard to get it fixed.

Good to see some individuals have already been able to enter again.

Great to hear how Anet work hard to fix issues, thnks for the speedy response and re assurance.

I will patiently await for the issue to be resolved (:, thnks for the hard work and community love!!

I saw TP under maintenace a few days ago, thought it was all good. but just lost another 24gold today.

On a constructive feedback note:

I have noticed that the bug doesnt happen when im offline, ie i wake up count my gold and its all accounted for. But when I’m PvE or PvP, the bug happens.

So far i’ve only had gold funds from sells vanish, my buy orders have all come through with no issues, likewise with my cancel and re listing.

Hey Arenanet,

I’ve been experiencing issues with the trading post. For example if I have 5gold uncollected in TP and another sale comes through the previous gold is lost completely (and i’m only left with the new gold earnings). I recently got into using the TP alot more and alot of my profit is being lost from this – 20gold+ already. I’m worried if I one day invest my fortune in TP it will disappear and I’ll be back to square one.

I’ve removed all my buy order from TP awaiting your reply.

I’ve asked map chat and several other players are experiencing the same issue.

Cheers,

The other commanders and maps I have been on are also using a similar method of claiming credits, I’m under the impression that there is enough players for everyone to keep the flow going ie land 1-2 direct dps and WP to the next event, I usually get credit for the participation 3-4 minutes after I was there.

Before I did this mass tagging, I always stayed behind to finish events which allowed me to only rack up 10 stacks no matter how much quickness, might or swiftness I was using and would also take 3-4 minutes to complete. Which has lead me to try this method.

And using this method I described, I usually hit 20 stacks with 10 minutes left to spare, which I then do stay behind to help finish events, ie slaying to get explosive pods but not using them etc. Also, if the vine shield is down my squad & I will stay behind to aiming to kill it with 30 secs that it is vul (ie completing it).

This is just one way to go about get 20 stacks, I am not saying it is perfect and I am always happy to be shown a new way which reaches both 20 stacks and event success (:

Just my subjective findings.

Good Morning Anet,

The concept of reaching 20 stacks within the time limit of 30 mins is not an issue, I was using my commander tag to in depth explain how to achieve 20 stacks and 95% of the players in my squad got 20+ (Link to explanation for any interested players https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Modrem-Invasion-20-stacks-within-time-limit/first#post5485604)

I think the issue that I have found and many players have found is that in order to get the potion worth 450 blooms, a player needs to spend at least 6 hrs (2 cycles) in a day with perfect 20 stacks in order to get the potion. I know that you planned this event on a weekend which is good, however, this kinda takes out the casual/ regular community members who spend 2-3 hrs on gw2 a day.

The Improvement as you may heard would be to are:
1) reduce w8ting times, as it literally doubles the time you need to spend on gw2
2) more rewards for same stacks 5 = 10, 10 = 15, 20 =20 and bonus chests to contain more too maybe 25-30 blooms
3) items can be dropped by champs or mobs (items can be traded like SW organs for more tokens) – I really would like this to happen
4) Extend period of event by an additional 1-2 days, for the causal players
5) bonus chest also has a chance of dropping items which u can exchange for tokens
6) after event has end, maybe, i know this will be pushing it but make a short story where players can earn a lil bit more tokens post event OR make it sellable on TP or purchasable at gem store or npc

Those are my thoughts on how this event could be improved.

Sincerely,

Crux M.

I will explain how to get 20 stacks within time limit & I will answer all questions at the end (:

To get 20 stacks for max rewards you need two things beforehand 1) movement speed & 2) map completion – without these you will lag behind and may not get 20 stacks within time limit.

The aim is contribute to an event and NOT finish it (as theoretically there is enough players WPing around to keep dps/event flowing). People who stay behind to finish will find themselves only able to earn 8-10 stacks within time limit.

To contribute all you need to do is make sure you damage the vine in the event you are at either by

A) Throwing an explosive pod u get from volatile husk [they have bomb icon on above their heads]
B) Using a catapult, to ensure you hit it, release it when the strength bar is charged up to 95-100%.
C) Direct DPS, if the vine shield is down it will become vulnerable for 30 seconds or so before re shielding itself [when shield is up and you try to attack it will kill u less than 10 seconds] – also if the vine shield is down, aim to kill it completely before moving on to ensure more event success for everyone (editted note per forum feedback)

Note : sometimes the dps no. doesn’t appear but as long as u know you threw the pod or saw the boulder from cata hit, your good.

According to forum posts: Killing mobs about 4-5 with good dps can also count as a contribute edited note

Try not to spend more than 1-2 minute at a place, If I am online I will lead as a commander and constantly ping WPs I am going to make sure every1 contributes to as many events as possible.

Please note events are buggy so sometimes you don’t get the contribution but Anet knows and is working to fix it.

This method allows you to get 20 stacks with 8-10 mins to spare, in that time left, please stay behind at events to help finish them completely, so that others may also get credits (:

We have rules of guild conduct for the wellbeing of all members (basically being nice and encouraging).

We do weekly guild missions and guild lottos with multiple prizes to win (mainly on weekends)

We are an English speaking guild and Operate during US & AUS time zones but we have many members from around the world. We are also operating on US SERVERS

We are maxed in all guild upgrades levels (ie 6) and therefore we are always having guild buffs active such as increased Magic Find and XP gain. We are always up to date with Gw2 news and provide updates via our message boards.

My account contact details are linked with this post. Come say hello and check us out, if you like us then continue repping us!! We look forward to seeing and exploring the upcoming events and expansion ((:

Good Luck & Have a blast peeps.
