Guild Wars 2

Fresh air D/F Tempest for Vale Guardian

- Fire: 1, 1, 1
- Air: 3, 2, 2
- Tempest: 3, 3, 3
Gear: full berserk or berserk with assassin earrings if you have them, scholar runes. force/air sigils
Food: Seaweed salad and maintenance oil
Rotation: Fire -> BS -> Air -> AA -> OLA -> Fire

Condition Tempest Build from wp (source and guide video)

- Fire: 1, 1, 1
- Arcane: 1, 3, 1
- Tempest: 2, 3, 1
Gear: full sinister with viper veapons, bathazar runes, bursting/smoldering sigils
Food: Koi cake if not close to 100% condi duration and tuning crystal
Rotation: Fire -> BS -> Fw(stack fields) -> Fire shout -> Firestorm(glyph) -> FGS (fgs boost condi dps) -> FE -> OLF with fgs -> FE again -> Fs & FW (even tho no condi dps there), final FE -> Drop FGS. Repeat.
- Use Glyph of Elemental Power on cd to keep extra burns per hit bonus up.

Build calculator is being weird with condi duration. I put both rune and food on it and still says only 85% burn duration (in-game pick either rune or food, no need for both but try to aim close 100%, wp has 92% on video). Also gear can be anything that has condition as main stat(dire, rabid, carrion), this is max/glass build. Condi sets aren’t as punishing gear-wise as power builds.

My tempest got new look, explorer/commander. I didn’t feel like she should run around in dress on those jungle areas.

Revenant Demon stance elite and my “Dervish”. + one extra picture that is not mine but is too cool not to be posted.

HTML5 video/gfy are replacing gif… but no forum supports it. :/

I can look like Dervish Now I am Dervish!

I spent some time testing revenant weapons on SW and took pictures.

I always struggle to convert anet’s time to local time. So I made timer for upcoming Revenant and Stronghold Test Weekend.

Green World Keep

Killing Cobalt head with gw2community

I love taking screenshots so after years of storing them on hard-drive and on imgur I created blog for them.

Here it is: http://defora-plays.tumblr.com/

I am still new with tumblr, so any feedback is welcome.

Lets not forget Super Adventure Box.

Start of the journey and 2 pictures from forest world. Last one is the crowd outside of the SAB.

Edit: Cynz.9437 I made short gif versions of those cinematics some time ago. I love the art style. Gifs here: http://imgur.com/a/lVRtK

My Ele taming the Shai Hulud and one of the last photos before LA burned. It wasn’t caused by me though despite what the screenshot says. Honest…..

Now I want to read those books again. :/ Why u do dis?

I will break the rules a bit and show some LA nostalgia.

• First two are from miasma event. LA was burning one year and 3 months ago.
• Last three are taken about two years ago, we had Dragon Bash event in LA. Here is the song for the memories (volume button is at bottom bar): https://soundcloud.com/arenanet/bash-the-dragon

First picture is my personal AWE.. it is from the end of Arah path 4. I got my Dungeon Master -title and just explored place a bit after everyone else left.

Second picture is bit like Donari.5237’s story. Before the Tower of Nightmares patch anet did these sneaky changes to world without telling players anything. So I heard rumors that Kessex Hills has some changes around the lake. The picture shows what I saw when I waypointed there. All trees were cut down and most of the ruins removed. It was all dragged into lake for what would become Tower of Nightmares. This was touching for me since the area around lake was furthest I was willing to go in beta… and they changed it.

Those were just two of emotionally touching moments. I have gathered loads of pictures of locations and characters into my album: https://www.flickr.com/photos/107458023@N04/sets/72157648519967100/

My sylvari necromancer got new look

Some normal shots.

My current armor mix-and-matches . Elementalist and necromancer.

Covered up look for the times you don’t feel like running around in your battlebikinis.

My newest character, sylvari guardian.

Tired of running around on bikini-armor, so now ele is more covered up.

My current mixes.

My necromancer got new hair and some weapons.

Lovely group. And I try not to post too may pictures.

Have a landscape:

Astralporing.1957:

You see ele with sword and dagger, i see no attunement effects, so i guess it is just a double sword mesmer (the second weapon is not so clearly visible, and can just be a differently skinned sword – there are some with short blades).

Assuming that she is an elementalist, there’s no way you’d see attunement effects. They don’t persist for more than a handful of seconds after stowing a weapon, and we never see her with it drawn.

That said, I looked more closely at the video and embarassingly enough, it turns out that she doesn’t wield an off-hand at all. The ‘dagger’ was actually an optical illusion caused by the skirt.

Even so, I would still take it as evidence, because the general appearance of incarnate armour is far more consistent with elementalist than with mesmer. But it’s not as much as I originally thought.

EDIT: Silly Fenrina, didn’t you know that it’s forbidden to ninja my posts? :P

Replying just to add picture confirming no-offhand-girl.

Edit. Added two more pictures. Look how Rytlock carries his “staff”. It is on his back while he has sword on his hip… and how he uses it as melee weapon.

Here you go.

Links to uncompressed 1GB version of the trailer are on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2tphx4/uncompressed_1gb_version_of_the_trailer_straight/

Here are screens of druid shoulders (new item?), guild hall build site, mursaat city with details, some Rytlock casting and staff/polearm usage, more mesmer shield details.

I can take more screenshots. If you want to see something just ask. Most likely reddit will hug uncompressed links to death for a while.

Randulf.7614:

I just rewatched the main trailer, but didn’t see any Destroyers or anything resembling one. Can you point them out?

This is some fire thingy… Destroyer?? But it has “friend” that carries Mordremoth weapon.

About mesmers (sorry didn’t read whole thread).. what do you think is the deal with clocks?

I took screen from mesmer’s shield and it has clocks on it and also the spell has clock.

Lindelle.3718:

Actually looking back at the trailer I saw one of the bipedal creatures with some VERY CLEAR two-fingered vestigial t-rex arms, so yeah!

This one?

Ofc I will buy it. I really want to see the story and all new areas/skills.

I noticed same from trailer.

I took some screenshots from trailer… dragon and dinosaur.

New desert look / carapace mix

I wanted something different for new map. My ele is full dps zerker, but for some reason I really like to help people on new map. Ress, heal, buff etc so she is white and “paragonish”.

I have been playing since BWE1 and spend loads of time just to chill around the game. I don’t have much gold or any legendary weapons, but I have loads of screenshots and memories on those.

It is here if you want to check (pictures on album are not on time order): https://www.flickr.com/photos/107458023@N04/sets/72157648519967100/

Unfortunately it has been a while since I leveled my ele, so things have changed. I remember first 30 levels were quite hard. I died often. Then I got Lightning Hammer build that had huge HP regen from water attunement/traits and good DPS via hammer. Eles still have similar build but I don’t know does it still work while leveling.

Here is one guite recent guide for elementalis, ofc most of it is lvl80 stuff, but still good read: http://dulfy.net/2014/07/11/gw2-elementalist-pve-class-guide-by-haviz-and-zelyhn/

Here is “Did you know? Elementalist” part from Did you know? series:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/257eyr/did_you_know_elementalist/

Hmm, It would be condition build since scepter = conditions. I played fear necro long time ago on small scale wvw, but I am not sure is it still viable. I will not link that build since there has been so many changes.

But here is something that I found with quick look on /r/GuildWars2Builds/... this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fRAQNArYWjc00dbjNW2wfjCchSqfYqnA6FIAu3IzgJA-TlyCABOoEEgjAgBmgwSpiQ7PMxJAwH1fySZle6Dm+RAQKgFlGB-w

Unfortunately there was no description how to use this build, but it looks like it has Terror-trait (fear deals damage when target has condition), but there are quite few fears on weapons/utils, so this isn’t fully fear build. Looks like fear it is just something that you can do for extra dps / annoyance to enemies, rather than being full focus-point of build. After looking this a while now I actually quite like this, seems to allow free play-style (no fixed rotation, I hate fixed rotation builds). But I haven’t tested this… yet. I have that old condi gear on bank, I could take it out and try this.

PS: Just FYI, places to check for builds (+ this forum ofc):
- GW2G PvP necro: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/74-necromancer/
- GW2G PvE necro: http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/36-necromancer/
- Gw2 subreddit for builds: http://www.reddit.com/r/GuildWars2Builds/

Like person before me said. It is ranged weapon for power build. Usually used with DS build.

Alilinke.7690:

My Necro! I was going for a detective look.

Oh wow, my new look is pretty similar… detective look. That is perfect description.

Here are all her looks and couple of pics from new look.

Some of my necromancer’s looks as one big image. The “leather look” is newest one, so couple of in-game pictures of it too.

This is pretty normal for official forums. People who have something to complain will complain it here since developers are here… and all the build ideas etc will be easily lost to those complains.

I usually go to http://www.guildwars2guru.com/ to get build ideas. Guild Wars Guru was also around during original Guild Wars, when there was no official forums, so site has long history.

People there are very crafty with builds/professions.Min-maxers etc are there and they also tend to post their stuff to here too at some point.

I tried to collect my screenshots to one place so I cleaned my flickr album and added some of my Guild Wars 2 screenshots there.

What do you think? Is it working?

My unhappy bobble headed thief, some of her emotes and friend’s crazy asura.

^log out – login, should help

Salocin.2783, you may want to show that neck to someone… doctor/medic maybe?

Some bobble-emotes from my thief:

My friend’s asura is a bit special case… I don’t think that I need to point out what I am talking about.

My thief was not happy to log in.. her head was huge, it was raining and earth elemental hit her. :<
