Still recruiting.

Hey,

Nexus Ascensorum [nxs] is a new semi-hc guild founded in July 2017. Meanwhile we could achieve a good activity/ guild feeling, productive raiding including lowmans maintaining an ambitious but fun atmosphere.

What we aim to do:
- steady raid clears
- lowmans and similar stuff
- sales
- other content if ppl want to (e.g. fractals, dungeons, pvp)

Requirements:
- Extensive knowledge and experience in all current raid wings
- High knowledge about at least 2 classes/roles and appropriate mechanics/rotations on those (we’ll be checking dps and buffs with arc)
- Good attitude (e.g. ambition instead toxicity)
- Decent level of understanding and communication in English

If you’re interested you can message me in game (Djeraya.4379).
Looking forward to hearing from you! /waves

Linken.6345:

Well wouldent be so bad if I could run any build I wanted on my characters but sadly you pigonholed into meta

That’s because if everyone brings whatever raids have a much lower chance to succeed.
Otherwise just open lfg and make your own squad with “bring what you want”. What’s keeping you?

@Nagr:
no-updraft Gors doesn’t require a real tank. Just one person with slightly higher toughness than others to face him away from the group.

@OP:
PS War and druid; or support-chrono; most groups run with 2 now, so you don’t necessarily need to tank.
All of them are support-roles with low to mediocre dps. If you want high dps you could consider dragonhunter. The demand is slightly lower for them though in pugs than for eles or chronos.

I think you don’t need to change your zerker/assa pieces, but you should try to get a rune with boon duration plus a bit additional duration.

The build/guide is already being updated to reflect the patch changes.
Above linked optimized version has legs as commander and 1 berserker exo-backpiece with platinum dubloon, rest full asc zerker.

Farming for leadership rune (30% boon duration) could take a while, so meanwhile getting 20% could be an option, for example through 4x traveler, 2x water (costs: 3g overall).
Other than that sigil of concentration gives 33% (use weaponswap to proc boon duration).
For tanking you just change 1-3 zerker trinkets to knight’s.

You can play around with this editor, for example if you want to keep as many of your current gearpieces as possible to see the differences or if you want to take more boon duration via platinum dubloon etc: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/

Why do people not want to use the “camp resolve waypoint”? Because it’s a silver waste.

Hello,

I am surprised I haven’t found any information about it yet…
I wonder if the world boss timers will change with Heart of Thorns on friday.

Since I am part of a community who organizes Tequatl and TT for people and is also keen on doing new world bosses of similar or higher difficulty, it would be interesting for us to have more information to ensure organisation.

The timers are static since the megaserver system, times were announced back then, so currently everybody knows when Tequatl will spawn. There is also a time window reserved for an additional boss as far I remember.
With HoT, Anet said they are going to include more world bosses like Triple Trouble and Tequatl. If it is one it could fit into the reserved slot – if more then the times would maybe change or overlap.

Will people be able to read the information from the API for example? Or is it possible to get a statement from anet?

Cheers

Other Info:
NíP was founded when Tequatl 2.0 was introduced. It gathered decidated people to achieve efficient kills, when this boss was still hardly killed. Same with TT wurm, when it came out. After a while both became pretty achievable and NíP kind of fell asleep. Nowadays we have waken up again and therefore looking into expanding the guild. We are not only a world boss slaying guild anymore, our players also play other parts of the game, dungeons, and pvp – also we don’t require you to be a highly experienced, top gear player to join us, although we have a lot of experienced players. We believe that a guild can be experienced and focused, but still have fun, be friendly, open and helpful to each other. When future bosses come out and raids will be in game we again will be one of the first guilds to try!
We are a part of a big community (www.gw2community.com), where we still do Tequatl and Wurm kills and you also have the possibility to participate in Dry Top runs, other community events or just meet people from all over the world (EU servers).
Looking forward to seeing some of you in our guild

I posted it on reddit, will summarize here as well:

• ignores Defiance
• ignores immunity against CCs and stability
• doesn’t ignore: righteous indignation (wvw lords)
• also moves downed enemies
• works on more than 5 targets
• mostly stacks the targets together!

enemies you can displace (=move) for example every few seconds (tested):
Lupicus, CoF p1 end boss, champs with defiance, enemies in wvw,
tested by ZuruiKonzatsu: jademaw tentacles, CoE destroyer boss, wurm in TA
tested by some other players in forums: Old Tom (Asura fractal)

the move it does should just be considered as a pull or other hard cc by the game, so that you can’t move all things around which actually are not supposed to be moved.
also the stacking up possibility can be used nicely. I tried on 7 svanir in wayfarer hills and after using the skill they were exactly on one spot.
Unfortunately I hadn’t the chance to use it on an enemy zerg. Imagine what would happen if you could stack 10 people of your enemy zerg on one spot

/wave @ Kobi ;-)

This is when you’re on a european server. I don’t know if there are other successful groups on north american servers except TTS, but I suppose there should be, as well…

Well, seems though, we have a good chance to provide the record, so we started preparations ;-)

Yeah it was me, and Chiiwii answered me now after I posted the thread ;-)
Thanks anyway.

I have to say we’re managing it with the megaservers, but the bottleneckproblem is annoying…

We have 59 sec for the whole event (2nd phase I mean), and over 1min for each wurm :-P

Let’s not count descaling bugs. ;-)

Of cause we are in contact to NIP and EVE, but unfortunately I don’t have contact to TxS and TTS.

Yeah, it’s not a recruiting thread. How could it be, when I mention TxS, too?
First, it’s information about possibilities to people who haven’t done it before, second, I’m asking for someone who knows about the other groups (maybe there are even groups I don’t know?). Third, WUMS has german kills usually, so it doesn’t make much sense for advertising in an overall forum.

@Aidan: I mean especially the second (beheaded) phase. We haven’t looked at the timer in first phase but maybe that’s something we could look on, too.
Yeah a number would be great to have ;-)

@Mortifer:
are you playing on a US or eureopean server?
In fact, berserker set is better, in first phase the wurm can’t be critted, but in the second phase it can. You also don’t need much vitality, but the ability to dodge ;-)
