Guild Wars 2

Yes! I am but a thief, yet I steal not gold nor jewels. No! I steal lives!

personally iv found with the proper traits might stacking is easy with a gs, i can get easy 25 stacks for burst attacks, and try long bow , my not seem powerful at low levels but at high levels its very powerful

I was originally considered that build , high cond damage with high survivability so i could get in and out and let the contions do the work were , but due to the cond caping i decide against it and that in zurging in wvwvw there will be tons of cond removal flying around, but i do want to make move builds wen more funds are avaiable, btw can you get to the build or does it show up as a bad link and how do i fix it?

Hay, as the title says above, im trying to make a support build with a decent damage output, and i have two builds that that which i cant decide apon, this will be my first lvl 80 toon in about a weeks time or so, so i want to get the build down now so i can prepare for it i have saved close to 60 gold, and i dont have the budget to experiment to much, so here i am

I see both builds with full knights gear( tuf, pow, prec) or a (pow, tuf, vit) all accessories and weps will be berzerker thus giving me a decent crit with the perma fury to proc chance to stack might with my traits and shouts, the damage output will come down to my runes and traits which increase both total boon and might duration to give me an almost perma 25 stacks of might, i intend to have two greatswords, one with a bloodlust rune or with an accuracy rune to get either +250 extra precision or power then switch to a force or accuracy rune to get either + 5% to power or precision, i also intend my adrenalin to be full most of the time which also adds to my damage output, crit chance aswell as my heal, i i have traied for it in both builds but not sure if i should sacrifice added power to get faster weapon swaping and adrenalin on shout so that i can get back full adrenalin ,with shouts, after i unleash aoe madness with my long bow

Greatsword will be my main weapon set with a long bow as a back up, allowing me to handle a mass amount of mobs at a one time i put a sigil of battle on the longbow to add to the might stacks so that they wont spike down when i swap weapon, i also would like to know what food would be best for this kind of build, i see this build excelling in pve, wvwvw, and most normal dungeons

Any help is highy appreciated and greatly welcomed

Thanx in advance =D

PS found this in a different post on how the fix the bad link prob……..

The problem is that those external links have semicolons in them. This causes the “Bad Link” error.
You need to copy and paste the link into a new browser window to get it to work. (In Chrome, you can just highlight the link, right-click and choose “Go to http….”)

thanx to TheAgedGnome

Hay, i wans wandering if any knew when the January content update was coming, i mean we are close to the middle of the the month and theres nothing on the site regarding whats the new event will be

thanx in advance

lol finaly back on topic thanx

The Ranger was my first guildwars toon, and im sad to say that i ran from the class because i thought it was broken, iv now tried every other class(lvld to 40) and every class has its “own big issues”…… im trying to convince myself to come back to some of the most fun iv ever had, so my question what is the current state of the ranger and should i come back just yet, or should i wait for more patches?

thanx in advance

I wish it was that but I tested it out of combat

Hay guys, I havnt beenable to play for a few days but I stole a few hours last night …….. I’m not sure if it’s just me but burning speed( daggers number 3 skills ) but the length of the trail has been cut in half, thus making the combo field shorter, usually I d/d 3 4 and use arcane blast to give my self 6 stacks of might before changing to earth……. But now I only get to 3 stacks, any1 else notice the samething or is the wintersday jumping puzzle screwing with my mind again?

Yeah attunement swapping is the way! I’m at your lvl now using d/d and you can get 15 stacks of might by using fire 3 4 then earth 4 5 and arcane blast as a utility, I’m still new with the ele but it seems the class was ment so that attunements must be use to combo with each other…….. You’ll notice that there are no combo fields and finisher in the same attunement……. so swap and kill

Lol I just started my ele 2 days ago got to level 12 d/d seems the most fun right now. For me iv noticed get in, nuke the hell outta them, and get the heck out. my best bet is get in with air then fire and earth, then with might stacked( and use arcane blast as a utility), can get 12 stacks of might, cripple with the earth 2 roll away and start again! And if things get bad water is you friend. I cleared 3 quaters of queensdale like this until the level 15 mobs were too strong, btw I killed everything in sight, all I could give were glancing blows

Hay guys I’m getting close to 80 and want to start expirimenting with build bit can’t find a decent editor, and most of the time I’m on my iPhone so one that works well there would me great ….. Any help apprisated and links will help greatly

Thanx in advance

Lol finally started my ele yesterday, and you guys where absolutely right! The most fin iv had in a long time, duel daggers just ment face! I went for map completion for queensdale as soon as o started……. Cleared so much so fast(even though I killed everything in sight) that I found myselff having to move to wayfer foothills because all the mobs were now lvl 14 and 15 while I was only level 8 with crappy starting armor, getting 1 shoted was not fun =D and do see the issue with repair bills and alot of it really comes down to dodging at the right moment and change attunement(especially to water) when needed…… Anyways things are still early and iv got a long way to go =D

Lol thanx for the quick responses! They are really apprisated

@LordByron

Thanx alot you really cleared up alot of my misconceptions on the elementalist and have cemented my mind on my decision to make this ele my main toon

@SkeeLd

Thanx for bringing up the key binding dilemma! Something that iv completely forgot about! For every other class iv played the class mechanics are limited so didn’t need to play around with F1-F4 buttons, but now I need to change attunements on the fly, I use a standard keyboad and mouse and ideas?

Hay all, iv been struggling to find a class to suit my current playstyle and after 7 others here I am at the elementalist( only chosen last because people claim that they die with a sneeze, yet others claim them to be the most rewarding and versatile class out there?) Due to my lack of time I plan to make this elemntalist my main class for a long while due to insane versatility

So here is what i already know about the class :

The elementalist has no weapon swap(meaning a I can only use 1 set at a time) but they have 4 different element to call on your weapon set, so id have 20 different skills on demand instead of the normal 10

They also have cool conjoured weapons which further adds versatility(iv only every used th fire sword on my extremely tanky guardian and did such insane damage I was in a moment of awe………

Burst damage on the class is extremely high

Elementalist also have the ability to use pets that seem way smarter than that of the ranger or necromancer

Elementalists are very squishy yet people say that they make great bunkers?

Requires skill and timing to be a good elementalist

This is what I want to know :

What kind of gameplay will I be looking at later levels? Will I always be on the defensive or will I beable to take on 5 to 6 mobs at a time?

Basic run down on skills and abilities? (though not really needed because I intend to wiki he hell out of these)

Will I excel in Dungeons?

People claim that elementalist make good tanks how far is this true? Is it about armor of abilities?

Leveling suggestions (recemended weapons, builds, skills)……….(also not a high priority as I like to experiment myself, though advice is welcomed)

But mainly what to expect in all aspects of the game as an elementalist?

Thanx in advance =)

Iv watched all your necro vids and still have no idea about the build

@ manos

Awesome look, I swear that skull helm does look good on any1 but Charr, and I know that I’m definatly going to get th CoF pants, only for awesome tail!

@ LastDarkness

thanx for the pics and I agree that full armor sets look the worst on the charr, we have to mix and match, your guy looks sick aswell

Hay, I don’t know wether it’s just me or not but after I restarted necro and was forced to use only 3 minions( bone fiend, bone minion and blood fiend, iv noticed that the response time on their attacks were spot on! Even when I changed targets mid fight they side the same, though the skills activation was still alittle slow……

Hay going off topic for a sec, the necro is 1 of the few classes that can have a permanet swiftness up, all you need is spectral walk and warhorns 5 and points for boon duration, that’s what iv done for now, and it works great for map completion and speed farming

Lol if it does effect the minion AI then would of got exactly what I wanted for Xmas/Wintersday =) …….. but honestly I don’t see it happening this patch may the next or the 1 after that!

Thanx for the quick responses guys! I’m digging that svanir and shadow armor looks awesome!

I suggest you wait till 35 to really decide……. Because the ac explore dungeon has exotic armor lvl 35 with a variety of states to choose from and it only costs 30 tokens per a piece, so for 3 runs you can have a full set, its cheap enough to experiment with and find out what works best

Hay guys I recently started my new Charr necro( after my previous tiny asura ) and love the sizing and effects of necro on a Charr, but while previewing armor i noticed that there wasn’t too many of them that I liked, even the Arah set, which was made for the necro, looks kitten So I’m asking if any 1 has found a good look for a charr necro, any pics would be helpful, thanx in advance =]

Lmao both of those looks awesome! Seeing as I’m a necro, how to I get that sceptor and that the cannon you call a rifle! Just for future reference

Lol yeah iv completely forgot about traiting for it, but it makes the necro a great alt (in my cad main) for map completion and lions arch vendors =) plus speed mixed with the mass of AOE abilities we have, makes for great farming

My new favorite thing about necros is that you have swiftness up next to 100 percent on the time, spectral walk stacked with the warhorns 5 skill gives you a 40second swiftness buff and before the buff ends you can reuse the warhorn 5 giving a total of 50 seconds swiftness and in 10 seconds you can use another special walk, I feel guilty when I stop at vendor with this buff because it’s still active when a leave! Necros = Awesome!

Thanx bro that really helped me alot………….. Charr it shall be =) time to read the wiki and find out which stories are more fun

Hay iv recently created an asura necro as just a random alt to play around with and it has now become one of my favorite toons, and I can really see it becoming my new main but the problem with my asura is the gear and weapon sizes which are a big part of “end game” and I would really like the toon to look cool, aswell as the fact that almost all his skill movements look the same but with a different effect, so I want to know which race has the best animations and armors for necros with a sence of “stlye” lol seen some awesome looking charr and humans( though humans seem way to generic) any help and or pics would be greatly appreciated, thanx in advance =)

Thanx for the input guys and yes now that iv hit 30 I am feel alot of inconsistency with the minions(especially from AOE mobs) and got facestomped in the AC dungeon ……. Have found conditions and wells with staff to be best in the dungeons with a scepter and dagger combo for moping up those left behind …… Can’t wait to start experimentation with builds and gears

let me start by saying LOVE MY ASURA, AND HATE MY WEAPONS ……… so back on track now, im looking for decent weapon skins for all weapons and a few pics would really help me out, btw im a necro ankittenired of a norn buddy comparing my daggers to toothpicks

Hay guys, recently started a necro, and despite the fast that people claim it’s broken I’m having alot of fun with it, among the many pros of a necro the high survivability is my favorite, currently I’m only level 20 and wandering what sort of Heath and armor I could be looking at if I’d focus only on that, and should I go for lacing damage or crit, I’m still very new so apart form those questions which has been the best leveling wep sets PS. I love my undead army

Lol got shocked for a sec thought you were a moderator had to go up and check……. Anyways thanx for the link

Lol it dies in any form of water even ankle deep water

Hay all, before i start let me say that im in love with the char, that aside, i was looking through the dungeon armer and notice the there’s a light armor that changes the effect of your tail, i play a guardian and wandering if there’s any heavy armor that does the same? if so could please post a pic or tell me the name?

thankz in advance ^^

Lol I’m sad to say that iv never gotten past lvl 50 on any character but the lower lvl areas are not dead( iv played them alot) the bandit DE in queensdale where must defend the farm, was packed with players, almost to menu IMO, maybe it’s yor server?

A: non-exsistant, Guardians are uber tanky even when they don’t try for tankyness
but more seriously, if you want to go for dmg I would go for crit since there’s little to no real condition damage and power based builds in this game are left in the dust outside of pvp

We got the lowest amount of base HP in the game, “uber tanky even when they dont try for tankyness”. I bet you never played a guardian :P

IMO our low hp pool is due to the fact that we have tons of ways to mitigate damage, a guard with a high hp pool would just be OP, as well as tuffness is way better than hp, if you have a high hp and low tuffness you will lose huge chunks of hp much faster and you’ll never beable to regain that hp back to full, mean while a high tuffness and low hp build will force the enemy to deal less damage and you can heal all the way back up to full, your biggest concern would be over healing and condition damage but guards have tons of ways to deal with those too =]

Well I wouldn’t say useless be close to it, the only condition that guardians can apply frequently is to burn the target and it doesnt stack in damage, only in time so it should be used mainly as a buffer between cool downs, and if you trait burns can be used for different reasons

Thanx for the info

Scepter/torch is great for a crit build, start with the 1 skill at range, then as the enemy comes close cast smite in front of them then cast the 3 skill which will immobilize then in the centre of you smite for 2.5 sec plus add vulnerability then dash in pop the torch 4 and 5( this flame thrower type attack does direct damage) and watch the crit damage fly

Firstly I suggest you read the guardians 101 thread, it explains all weps skills and traits, it’s stickied, and it’s helped me alot. In gw2 grinding is not the best form of experience , go for map completion early on and do all or any dynamic events you see. Also for crafting, it’s bit of a gold sink but also a good way to pump in those mats you get early on, you’ll get decent weps and armor and each proff can give you to ten Kbps worth xp, but pick either armor or weps and jewelry you should pick two things that require the same mats to craft ,

Ps the guardian is awesome

Hay, so here’s my sad story, got Lil wasted not to long ago and deleted my main, along with a few gold, tier 1 cultural and my mad king books, yes I cried after I work up the next morning, but have rerolled as a charr guardian , only lvl 15 now and wandering if I’ll still beable to get in on this event, or is it only for the 80 caps

Hoping for any response

Lol iv had 3 guardians now, first was an asura, awesome story and awesome character, but didn’t want to grind for tiny armor and weapons, next was my human, personal story wasn’t the best but I was very satisfied with the armor, but sadly I got wasted outta my mind 4 days ago and deleted the poor guy, along with 7 gold, tier 2 cultural armor and the mad king books, and on a side note cried like a little girl, and now finally on a charr, coz in short they are just awesomely awesome! Plus there weapons are way bigger than they bodies And in final words to a charr every other race is meat and sylvari are just salads

Firstly great job on the halloween event it was just brilliant, I completed everything but the clock tower and had a great time doing it (^^) . Now here’s my problem I completely forgot that I had pre ordered assassins creed 3, get a text from my favorite games store saying that I need to pick it up, I did so on the the 30th Oct …….. And just noticed today that the plastic has not even been taken off yet (".) and then realized that I had absolutely no URGE to play this, further more I have two more preorders coming in and call of duty black ops 2( the cod series which I thought was my favorite game) on the 13th( in the middle of the guildwars 2 November content up) I think I can no longer call myself a gamer but now a guildwars 2 player (¥¥)

Awesome dude just awesome, I’m going for the hammer but the gs is just so awesome

No that the Mesmer

If by army you mean in wvwvw, thens it’s just a random collection of players following a comander or you may be seeing a random guild, if your getting lonely try to interact with the community and make some friends, join a guild or if all else fails make a necro the always have a small army with them =^_^=

Lol thanx for awesome event Anet and I really hope that these wanderfull events continue year round( can’t wait to beat the crap outa saint nick and steal all his presents for Xmas ) and I thought I would never play real money for in game gems but after this I defiantly will +1 for the hard work PS. I’m going to lose my mind wen content comes out on the 15 November after seeing this Halloween event =^_^=

Hay, I’m sad to say that I was one of those people that reroled, after some of the more excessive nurfs to the ranger(IMO) but after hearing the great news that a major rework is come I think I’ll be coming back very soon, so I thought we could make a thread about the reworking ideas so the developers have 1 place to see all our problems and opinions,

So here’s a few of mine

Greatsword was nurfed into oblivion

Trait trees don’t make sence at times

And pet AI needs alot of help

just to name a few, please try not to go into a rage coma while thinking about this lol =D

Hay guys, though there are many points I agree with and many more that I dont, one of the important things to remember that guildwars 2 is only now taking it’s first few baby steps, developers are working hard, trait trees rebalenced and a major content update is on it’s way on 15 november which the developers say “more end game content is being worked on” all I’m saying is that the game hasn’t been cast in stone yet, it’s only been 2 months after release, and there is no doubt that great things are yet to come, wow has been running since 2004 and has had over 8 years to “perfect” it’s self =)

@ trickyg & tosha daydreamer

Thanks so much uv cleared up a lot for me =D

And yeah I never expected a major content up date after just 2 months almost unheard of lol , and there’s no need to worry about hyping me up, I was HYPED UP SO MUCH YESTERDAY THAT THE BUZZ HAS CONTINUED TILL TODAY =D
