Guild Wars 2

Please allow Ascended Water Breathers to be stat-changeable in the Mystic Forge.
It doesn’t make sense that all of Ascended armor and weapons have this option and this doesn’t.

Life Siphon is a good heal with good damage, but I rarely if ever finish the full cast as I use it while closing in on an enemy and then switch to autoattacking, or if my other weapon set AND Death Shroud is on cooldown.

I’d like to see it updated a bit to fit Dagger’s toe-to-toe playstyle or just have it condensed it a little with a shorter cast time, and more burst with longer cooldown.

An example:
Turn it into a Greatsword3-esque skill with a load of fast attacks that proc multiple lifesteals, with a longer windup but short range. At the moment it feels like the old version of Ranger Longbow 2 Rapid Fire – basically not very rapid. The idea to keep its sustain should be prevalent.

An alternative is to incorporate something extra for finishing the full cast, like a timed charge or a fear so you can combine it with Dagger 3 for a sitting duck combo.

Any thoughts from other necromancers?

Just for you Aneu http://www.admittingfailure.com/

It’s funny because the more you do that, the more GH’ll enjoy doing it too

Sure, even brotherhood. Heck, feel free calling yourself family cause you’re so much organised.
But well, here comes a question: Can roamer do well in zergfest? – Yes, roaming is much harder than zerging. So it’s kind of like mutiplying (harder – roaming) and simple adding to 10 and less (zerging). But most likely zerg won’t do well in small scale fights or duels, not due back build, but simply because lack of skills.

Elitist Bullkitten. Join the GH 1v1 ladder and lets see how you fair against our nasty zergers.

Oh my, you told me.
=*( (sad face with tear to show how much it hurt me)
I would, but it’s most likely sPvP which I don’t really give a kitten about (that’s why, as you can see, I’m writing on WvW topic, not anything sPvP related).

I don’t get where did your anger come from. I’m just simply (as peacefully as I can) leaving my point of view on zerging/roaming and which one requires more skill.
I’m pretty sure any other zerg would do zerging stuff way better than our 4 people guild. (saying jokingly)
I didn’t mean to start flame war, but if you enter someone’s ambition… war starts itself.

You don’t need to ‘care about PvP’ to do it – it’s arguably more balanced in there so go give it a shot. There’s lots of zerglings that don’t know what they are doing – surely your skills will bend their knees in awe!

Yay Dzag!

Boo Arborstone! Bloody EO and their cheating by rezzing through doors. When you win, you do it. When you lose, you do it. There’s no point, you’re just kitten.

Well I’d really like to respond you but already got 2 warnings for pointing out how kittened GH’s actions are so imma stop and will say only this which will be deleted by mods in for like 5mins. Till Anet takes measures against blobing this is how it will go even though we are against it as guild we are being pushed to do so since its not fun to get constantly hit by train! But what are they doing pushing AC buffs and that kinda kittened things to make people wanna leave the game for good. nuff said I dont really care about what GH or any other world does they only get to taste their own medicine as long as we are concorned.

I think you misunderstand – we are simply giving -you- a taste of your own medicine now. Little bitter eh? And why do you have your computer specs in your signature? This isn’t a hardware forum – you’re like those types of people who do Twitter tags on FaceBook.

What about the other 7 guilds, how do they technically fit in?

Can you name these guilds.

VcY
Riot
VoTF
xxx
fire/flare
frs

Why do you ask?

Never seen more than 10 people from FRS, FIRE are not here, XxX just arrived and seem to have 15 or so people.

wat? Hahahaha

FRS easily field 15-18 people, they just count as like.. five, maybe.

FIRE are transferring at the start of the next week or something.

XxX are pretty skilled and do fit in the category of an organized WvW guild.

You lads’ skulls are so thick I always need to give my flagpole an extra knock on the top with my hammer for it to stand straight.

A Gunnars got Zap from a VcY tonight. They are like piñatas, but without the sharp edges!

Here come inflated scores and more queues.

I’ll be mailing Anet every single day until they give me back my Engineer. I almost got arthritis in my left hand from spamming ‘1’ in that kittenty grenade build. They reeeally want me to go back.

Yeah Sam, the garrison defense was (is still going on i think) crazy fun
Having to run from one gate to the other all the time, even running into some GH who somehow managed to get sandwiched between AG and FSP forces made tonight a lot of fun. Sadly I have to retire my confusion mesmer for tonight, got to wake up early tomorrow. Have fun and ty for the fights

It was confusing and hilarious! We came in through the watergate just spotting a few AG stragglers running upstairs. We’d run into a bunch of culling and most of our characters had invisible weapons, red eyes and no helmets, not to mention all enemies had the placeholder avatar. When we arrived at the South Inner, enemies seemed to fade in and out of existence – I clearly remember charging a ballista on the side only to hit thin air as the guy arming it vanished. Trying to pull into the corner we were hit and pushed from all sides all of a sudden. I was stuck in a cliff corner with a few others for a few minutes before we realized everyone was dead. Great fun!

The French are great fighters, had some really exciting battles tonight on Blacktide, thank you!

Flamethrower in itself is a fun weapon. Mediocre by performance however.

Certain builds focus on stacking massive might which seem to work well on top of potion-popping, but the Flamethrowers’ skills don’t coordinate that well together, well, specifically, Flame Blast doesn’t coordinate well.

Flamethrower requires you to be close to an enemy and pointing at them at all times to do damage – Flame Blast passes through enemies and then explodes once it reaches its max range. The damage on the blast is great, but actually hitting with it is a real challenge. You’ll either be opening with it or using it when your allies have agro, as such it’s only useful ONCE in a fight where you’re the only one around.

You cannot stand at the appropriate range of Flame Blast and still hit with your main Flamethrower attack, this doesn’t really seem too clever. If the enemy’s in your face already, it will just pass through them for a bit of damage and explode miles away.

A simple change to this skill will make it much more useful: Make it detonatable on a second click of the skill. This will allow it to be used point-blank, as the Flamethrower can not be used for kiting (since, as mentioned, you have to always point at the enemy), and will open up for much more utility. If an enemy is standing against a wall as well, your flame blast will hit the wall behind it and not explode if you are slightly too close.

Thanks for reading

EDIT: I should mention combos like using Air Blast first or after firing the Flame Blast don’t work as the timing doesn’t click.

To the RoF guys currently abusing the invulnerable spot at Bluevale Refuge ( GH bl): Seriously ? Are we really down to this kind of poor behaviour ? I thought this was something only occasionally occured and very few players do but 7 at the same time including several from the same guild… If you dont want to fight pls stay out of WvW. Play single player games and use godmode cheats.

That said, thx to the other guys from RoF. Bay was lots of fun for my staff ele. Keep (it) coming :-)

You could just, you know, move away from them ..

You are completely correct, it is the Norn tier 3 cultural medium armor. I hadn’t considered he might be a norn because of his small stature. Thanks!

This is not my screenshot, but I was curious about the gear the Thief is wearing. I’ve never seen this medium armor hood and headband, nor the little wolf(?) tag on his chest. You can’t make out anything from the actual character, just the target profile shot.

Anyone have any idea what it is? I checked all the armor galleries I know, and I have an Engineer at 80 as well so I thought I’d have come by it at one point at least.

Who is the human Mesmer Commander in purple Cultural tier 3? I didn’t get the tag, but she puts up a great fight and doesn’t give up. Gonna be looking out for her, but pointers would be nice!

I quite like the scratch, it often comes in well timed as a facepalm. My mesmer wears Whispers armor, so it suits him to act low-profile, bending his head

critickitten.1498:

I’m not actually sure what to think of this thread.

I did find it rather funny that my charr thief has a strip of cloth across her chest, though, considering that charr were designed without breasts. So it’s not actually doing anything, it’s just there. What’s the point of that strip of cloth, exactly? To look more “feminine” from a human perspective? And given how charr feel about humans, would a charr female actually WANT to look more humanly feminine?

Charrs have a minimum requirement of clothing for modesty as well They don’t have breasts but probably teets, and since every other race is doing it I figured they might as well to not make other races think about it too much.

Actually yeah I seem to not recognize some of the things my Sylvari’s been saying when leveling up or getting into a new area, might just be my imagination but I think you are on to something.

He did mention the instances he’s had -fun- with, not instances he’d been 110% more effective than any other guardian not using WoR.

Use it against the spiderlings in AC EXP, they will easily kill themselves if you round them up and place yourself in a corner, WoR in front of you. Can be difficult if your allies are running all over the place trying to hit them and grabbing agro though!

The giant tendrils or tentacles or whatever the bone spike things in Orr are called that throw fish at you. They can be reflected with careful placement (bit easier with a bubble projectile reflection skill) – it’s quite funny to see a giant fish fly hundreds of feet backwards to its origin.

Versus Scepter Mesmers – reflecting their autoattack will cause -you- to spawn a clone. It’s odd.

Most Golem bosses like the Event one in the eastern side of Malchor’s Leap, Gold something, have that golem attack where they rapidly shoot many bolts of energy at you. It’s easy to see coming and one WoR will both keep you safe and watch the numbers go veeery high. I remember there is one in Sorrow’s Embrace story as well.

That said, people don’t know math, they just see big numbers and assume that means big DPS.

Well, i never see my guardian doing 3-4k dmg with auto-attack, neither 20k with whirling. Guardians are so versatile and the best support in gw2 but in terms of pure dps warriors are the best, not just because that big numbers, they can maintain 25 might in a boss fight easily and 6charges+fury for all the party, thats tons of dmg. They have nice hp pool and not bad armor, they are killing machines.

5 guardians sounds OP but 1 guardian 3 warriors and 1 mesmer is a better party, you need some variety

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

A guardian actually kills the gate controller faster than a warrior since the warrior’s big damage skills don’t work too well on it.

HB, 3 autoattacks, whirling = bb mister gate controler.
What warrior’s skills don’t work well on objects? With 3k+ attack you just destroy everything.

Try move into the enemy’s hitbox (stay inside the red ring under their feet) while using Whirling Wrath. The projectiles you shoot will all hit the enemy resulting in pretty high damage

Illusionary Leap is a great tool for Mesmers, provided it works – terrain can really gimp it quickly. I see your gripe, but there’s a few things about what you suggested that will probably not happen:
The Leap combo finisher happens where you stand as you Swap, because you can’t necessarily count on your clone standing in a combo field. The range is not too far on Illusionary Leap either so in the meantime you’ve cast the spell you can have moved to the same spot your cloned just jumped to.
You can however position yourself in a field before activating Swap – same goes for Phase Retreat, you can’t count on ending up on a combo field as you teleport backwards, but you can position yourself on top of one before firing it off.

And then there’s the clone’s buggy leap on actually casting Illusionary Leap. I want it to happen like you are saying, that it appears next to your target in a similar fashion to some of our Phantasms like the Berserker or Warden. Problem is, though, that we’d be able to easily get on top of walls and places we shouldn’t be. It still needs LoS like the Phantasms of course but if we could Swap places with anything our clone could attack, it’d cause some unfair advantages.

The point of the clone’s leap though is that it is an imitation of the Warrior’s sword leap attack, and so we can catch running enemies and immediately root them with Swap.

I know that a Hammer Guardian has access to a 5-second blast finisher, and while it’s not hard to stack Blast finishers on some classes that have multiple on longer cooldowns, I think it would be missing what was intended with this skill.

Under Options, in the bottom on the first tab

I rolled a Guardian yesterday, and I must say they far out-fun my Warrior. Lots of utility.

Anyhow, I have “Melee attack assist” disabled at all times so I can run through an enemy if I need to. You need to, too, if you want to be able to do this trick.

I discovered that moving into an enemy’s hitbox while using Whirling Wrath (keep an eye out for their little red circle under their feet, get into that) will allow many of your projectiles to hit on top of the spin’s damage. My longtime Guardian guildie gained a 30-40% damage increase from this!

I added it to the wiki as well. To my knowledge this is not exploiting as much as kiting or using an Elementalist’s Burning Speed into a wall on top of an enemy.

Charr, because his great manly lion face makes up for the tight spandex and tiny butterknives he runs around with. Almost.

That, and I wanted him to look menacing to enemies in WvW, they should be able to recognize their doom from a distance.

I read this guide on and off on the way to or from work on my phone, every day. Great stuff. My (giant Charr, maybe slight disadvantage to the smaller eles) Elementalist has hit 80 and he is golden on any team – I roll with a guildie who follows a more defensive build with 10 in earth instead of air, so we make the perfect combo for our guild with fury+protection on auras.

Anyhow, I -just- came in here to ask about why one would not get a sigil of fire, and lo and behold, you dedicated kittens are actively discussing it at the end of the thread! Thank you for the info.

I am using a sup. sigil of battle+corruption on my two daggers at the moment, and I was just about to argue that there has to be something better than sigil of force, but it looks like you expected that from people too, Kailoq. But what other alternatives are there actually? I am just curious now. You have me completely convinced already.

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s Germans flying right over our heads!
Or up the side of the walls!

Awesome! I just need to get the Venomstriker sold now so I have enough money to get hold of the Ruinmaker. Thank you everyone for your help! The end result should be quite nice. Will upload a picture when I get hold of it

Sadly, the Venomstriker is not the one. Venomstriker looks like this : http://i.imgur.com/waOK9.jpg

My search continues.

Are you positive ? :O I checked it on Gw2DB but it shows the default pistol skin – of course it’s not completely reliable. Could you maybe check somehow if you are sure it’s that one?

Hey everyone – I’ve scoured the game clean for good-looking gear for my Engineer, and I’ve nearly succeeded in my journey. Two pieces remain, a shield and a gun.

I’ve decided on the “Iron Flintlock” that I have found numerous pictures of throughout the GW2 websites out there. But where is it ingame?

http://www.gw2db.com/items/55119-iron-flintlock#

Here it is on gw2db, click View in 3D under Quick Info to see the model.

Another shot.

Does anybody have any idea where I could find it?
