Guild Wars 2

Jokes aside, it’s surely a bug and nothing more. Funny though.

Whaaa engi???? Why? First time i heard that… thief yeah they are hated by all. But engi too now???

Engi has currently strongest proven condi damage of all classes and a party wide condi damage buff. So I doubt engies would get the boot in a raid squad. Unless the leader’s a moron.

I always see raiders mention needing a condi engi or a real good condi class. So I would question the authenticity of this previous post.

Drakz.7051:

From what I have heard Guardian, Thief and Engi aren’t allowed into raid parties.

Engi is indeed in a good position right now for what concerns raids. Only problem is, its rotation is a little more difficult than other classes like condi ranger, to example.

Anyway, about the question of the op: I’d say that ranger is probably a good choice, since it’s widely used in both spvp, wvw and pve. In raids for example condi ranger and druid healer (druid is a specialization of ranger) are both frequently used – and at least 1 or 2 druids are almost mandatory in raids.

Thank you very much!

Today i defeated Gorseval for my first time. I got the achievement, i got the loot, but when i went to the merchant inside the raid, his weapons weren’t unlocked, as if i never killed him. Is it a bug? Is there any way to fix it quickly?

Quick question: does anyone know if, and how, can ascended trinkets with the new stats (marauders, trailblazer and so on) be obtained? Or, if they can’t be obtained, if they will be added to the game in the future? Thank you

Oh come on, did it matter much at that point? Engie/Ranger got the bad luck of being in the 1 BWE only and that’s it. Which one gets revealed first is irrelevant.

Anyway. Let’s get this out of the way asap and get some hype going for the next expansion and the rifle ranger spec. \o/

This. It is nice to know what is going to happen with the class, but the whole “we are just getting one BWE” thing doesn’t make sense. Even if engi elite spec gets revealed first, both get the same testing time.

And NO, let double dagger ranger be a thing with some plant themed venoms! No rifle, it will just fear the pets.

I have a dog, I sport a mustache and i’m a hunter. I need a rifle! QQ

In my arms fellow hunter! Let’s put the spirits back to their rightful place: in an expensive glass, to be sipped by the fireplace while discussing how we bravely pwned that boar 10 vs 1!

Pfft, real hunters use spears.

I don’t want to end up like King Baratheon

Thank you very much

I apologize if this is the wrong forum section to post this, but i don’t know where i should put it; also, i already know that it has been already answered before, but can’t find older threads that speak about this so i make a new one.

My question is: how long does it take for the veteran character slot to be delivered? I bought the pre-order of HoT a few days ago, but i didn’t receive the char slot yet.

Ryou.2398:

You know you guys are not the only ones thieves seem to get the crappy end of the stick as well.

My mains are ranger and thief… I’m kind of… sad…

I was thinking of ways to improve my build for the WvW (solo/small groups roaming), and i came up with this one (to say the truth, it’s a small variation of the one i currently use):

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNUQNAsfVjEqQ7K2wCusAVLGMEquDOhWgDgRvB+c/2r9SWQXA-TlSAABK8gAo4QAEwJAAgjAgYKVYa/hQV/ZSlgjpsiQ9NBAQAmZZWmzMwQH6QH6QHazcozcozcmlCYRxWA-w

I’d appreciate every suggestion and advice to improve it even further.
I was considering if switching flame trap with sun spirit, and quick draw with light on your feet

I’m sorry, but this link isn’t of any help In that discussion they don’t say anything about how to solve my current problem, or at least i seem unable to understand it

Anyway right now it says there’s a server error in linking the accounts… dunno if it’s for the fact that HoM is disabled or for another reason.

If you are sure you are typing in your correct account info, try send a ticket to support then

Aren’t @ncsoft accounts not supported anymore?

MiniEquine.6014:

I too had an @ncsoft account, but they don’t offer any more support for these. I must have forgotten my password or something, but I cannot log in and I cannot change my password any more.

It makes me sad, especially since I never got to appreciate GW1 because my computer was a piece of garbage back in the day and that really turned me off to it. Now I’d have to repurchase the game to play it again

Well, that’s not my problem, since i’m sure that account name and password are correct. I’m logged in in GW1 right now. My dervish is running around in this very moment :P

And can’t log in with the GW1 account information neither

Thanks for the answer I don’t remember the exact reason, but if i remember correctly back when i bought gw2 – nearly 2 years ago – i already tried to link the accounts, but i couldn’t. I have a not trustworthy memory of, like, creating for mistake a new account and linking my old gw1 account to that one. Can’t say for sure though.

Anyway right now it says there’s a server error in linking the accounts… dunno if it’s for the fact that HoM is disabled or for another reason.

I apologize for making here this topic, since it probably isn’t the right place, but i really don’t know where i should ask (anyway it’s still related to gw2… kinda).

My question is: i’ve decided i want to do the achievements in gw1 that would allow me to get the items and AP of GW2. I already had an account, but since it’s still a @ncsoft, from what i understood i can’t do the linking anymore. So, if i buy another copy of gw1, with a new account etc., does it still work now, in 2015? Will i be able to link it to my gw2 account? Does anyone know?

Sorry if i made grammar mistakes, but english isn’t my first language.

Thanks for the answer

Is there, or will ever be, a tool to see what recipes and crafting disciplines each character has, without having to log in with that char? Like some kind of search engine that allows you, if you type the name of a certain recipe, to see which of your characters knows it… or simply a tab that allows to see all of the recipes known by the chars with the name of the char that knows it at its side.
If it exists some kind of add-on or android app would be fine as well… Does any of you know of such a thing?

Fluffball.8307:

Another thought, since you have quite a lot of blast finishers, you could take a field of some sort. Might, weakness… or keep guard and take HS. Some interesting things to play with.

Yea, i have the fire field from torch. With pets and weapon swaps i can stack pretty much high might It’s one of the reasons i use double drake and horn

Ty for the advices, i’m thinking about puttin in SoR, it would be useful especially for when i have several conditions with many stacks on myself. Still i find “Guard” to be very useful, so was thinking about removing “Sick’Em” instead… But that would decrease my damage output and utility vs thieves and mesmers. I’ll think about it, thanks anyway

Pvp

This is a build i’m working on, shout-based, with good teamsupport and pretty tanky, even if with still a decent damage (all this is under a big imho). Any advice would be appreciated, especially about the sigils
I placed the double drake beacuse of the aoe on swap and the damage of the F2

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-JF-8k;0sE-u-a2JDV-0;9k7Z;1a_b;0257156236;4VoG7U;1ZF18ZF180q

It seems a little wasteful, like you have too much regen; ten sources by my count. I think you could lose “guard” at the very least, since that skill is pretty crap if you already have swiftness and regen. Might be ok once the runes get fixed.

Well, if that regen was only for me you’d be right, but i apply it to my nearby teammates as well, which i think is pretty much worth it. Even if i have permaregen, i’m not fighting always with the same guys (i mean that they and i rotate), and so many sources of regen allow me to put it on the allies i have nearby constantly.

For the guard, it’s the utility i use the most in combat, (i pretty much spam it), not only for its protection on pet and regen, but also and mostly for the condition cleanse… What would you put instead of guard?

“We heal as one” and “Strength of the Pack” don’t trigger the condi removal of the soldier runes; i heard they don’t remove conditions even when using shouts from other classes, but didn’t check it myself and needs to be confirmed.

Be advised that Runes of the Soldier’s condi removal was reported to not be working with shouts after the big update. I think someone posted somewhere that this applied to all shouts, including Warriors.

Yea, i reported it as well. To be more precise, it doesn’t work with only the “new” shouts, which means “We heal as one” and “SoP”. Since i think it’s only a bug that will be fixed, i don’t consider it a big problem; and even so, i still have the other 3 utilities that DO cleanse. And one with only a 12 secs cooldown

(Don’t know anything about shouts from other classes like warrior though).

I went ahead and added the build, it looks too much fun to not be there.

No problem. And about that: your advice was pretty good, so i did that change and seems like a good choice. The pets simply never die… and so i never loose the dps portion they represent.

About the horn, i’ll keep using it for the blast on fire field and other fields

Have this problem as well, identical. Please solve this, i’d like to play some pvp before the end of times.

True, my mistake not seeing that. They do give regen and swiftness. Still, (and i’m absolutely sure of this, just re-checked it), they don’t remove conditions as they should with soldier runes.

So… yea… i don’t understand if it’s intended for them to work like this or is a bug that only hits myself or a mistake of the devs, but these 2 skills are only half working. Which means: they aren’t modified by runes (soldier…) and traits that have effect on shouts, except for the cooldown reduction (and only that one, the other effects of that same trait don’t work… no regen and no switness). Some clarification?

Well, from my experience i can say that it’s surely worth the risk. The question is not “will i get profit?”, but “when will i get profit?” The problem is that it might take up to an year (and more) to get you an acceptable profit. If they don’t get an increase in value when they need 3-5 tickets to be bought, they’ll surely get it once they can’t be bought with tickets at all… but that might take a pretty long time

Indeed, but I think we are forgetting our weapon swap cool down?

Doesn’t the continuum split/shift also have an effect on weapon cooldown? The description says cooldowns, so it should be included, i guess. Or the devs said something about it i don’t know of?

Indeed it does, but in that “second timeline” you must swap weapons to get to the second phantasm (the first one you summon will put you in combat). This means that if you try using the Signet of the Ether you would only be able to immediately re-activate that phantasm tied to your current weapon set. You would run into this same issue in the “regular timeline” too. At best you could reduce your weapon swap times by 2 seconds using “Warrior” Runes (unless Alacrity affects the weapon swap cooldown as well?).

But even so – you still run into the first weapon swap issue in either case since you’ll be considered in combat after the first strike (forcing the default 10 second swap cooldown).

Well, yea, but you can only have 3 illusions anyway, so i guess that that “berserker/duelist” he wrote was only to indicate that could be summoning one or the other based on with what weapon he begins the combo, not that he actually wants to summon 4 phantasms. Which means he only needs to swap weapon once in the regular timeline and once in the second timeline. Or maybe i misunderstood?

I was doing some theorycrafting for fun with the new chronomancer line, and happened to find a combination i find to be interesting.

http://dulfy.net/gw2traits#build=AgMFqAT4Bmg~

with the trait I of the Chrono line that could be changed to III based on preferences.

This build should be used together with sword/shield or sword/pistol and gs, and based on the rotation that Seyiwaji told about in this topic

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/hot/Chronomancer-8-Phantasms-attack-chain/first#post5120977

so the utilities should be: signet of ether, well of recall, well of precognition, x (where x is a skill to be decided based on circumstances, probably a break stun or something to improve survivability), and moa ulti.

I was thinking to a dps set, probably zerker, but not sure about it.

What do you think about it?

I like the idea, if they balanced it decently would surely be fun

I love the combat in gw2, the design is just amazing. It got interesting skills and alot of stuff i find better than dota, lol, smite, heroes of the storm and so on.
So i don’t want to play another game, but pvp wise i don’t find much joy anymore. And stronghold is already a stripped down moba, so if they just leave it this way i will get bored quickly.

So i hope they either make it more interesting by making it more about taking down the lord instead of loosing by time(have won by time and i felt cheated since i didn’t get the pleasure by stomping the lord).

The rest of the solutions is more about preventing the game by being too long without a time limit.

But i’m not here to convince you though, this is what i would like to see and i’m sorry but telling me to play another game is not the solution but may be the reality if they don’t change Stronghold.

I wasn’t telling you to play another game, i was just saying that if gw2’s stronghold became like a moba, I would play another game. Or at least, that i would not play stronghold if i can choose. Still, i get your point

True. Still, making it a “full moba” isn’t the solution in my opinion: if i wanna play a moba i go play dota or lol or whatever: it’s better

In short, you want a moba well, i’m a moba fan, but i’m not sure if i wanna see that on gw2
