Guild Wars 2

same as OP, game locks up after pressing “play”, total system locked up, must reset

I wonder…… Will we now get Infusions with +5 Ferocity?

It happens to me to sometimes in WvW, without noticeable blind\stability, but I guess I just assumed it was lag, either not seeing the blind\stability or the usual skill lag in WvW and it not firing before the stomp registers. I mean in any big fight it seems like only #1 works reliably, so it didn’t surprise me that #2 Fear lags.

A target related problem would make sense too, though I hadn’t considered that.

Depends on what type of environment you prefer. I play mostly WvW and I chose a Norn specifically for the Snow Leopard racial. I use it when roaming solo. Necro’s biggest weakness is a lack of escape and mobility. With “auto target” OFF, you can stealth for 5s, jump for 300, sprint for 1500…. and you are gone. You can get 2-3 stealth uses during the duration and couple of the sprint and jumps.
That combo is also great for getting into a Keep\Tower that is under seige – as you can stealth up from far enough away and then sprint\leap, double dodge roll into the door.
I never use it when in a group or a zerg, but you can escape from groups and zergs when solo
Plus, Norns jus have cool passive animations on the males.

long reach IS optional although i find it to be almost OP but not quite. most players think they have you out of their range then BOOM 1500 instant 2 sec stun CND and sneak attack….out of nowhere? espeically good against thieves and d/p who think they can get away for a moment to heal up. you rupt them right after BPS…they are in a WORLD of hurt also long reach allows you to port up stuff bc the distance is longer

regarding WvW…..

I have been confused about the 1s Daze on Steal (Sleight of Hand) and maybe you experienced thieves can help explain it to me.

Daze says it interrupts and stops skill use, but not ‘stops movement’ like Stun.

When I use SoH against say a guard or a dolyak or a raptor it does stop their movement and I see swirly pink tweety-birds. I see this reliably, all the time.

However, when I use SoH on another player…. it does not stop their movement at all and only sometimes do I see the swirly pink tweety-birds. This is especially obvious when chasing someone down – they just keep running.

This makes landing the CnD spotty at best (for me), even if I pre-load it before I steal. Especially if they are running to my right and away from the left handed swipe of the dagger.

Travalene -

And since Daze is not a “condition” and isn’t affected by condition duration, how do you get a 2s Daze? I see mesmer runes 33% daze or sigil of para 15% stun, but how are you getting 2s? Do those stack or am I missing something else?

thanks in advance for any replies

I would pay for the first 3, last one should be a Ranger ability or something.

How about Flags and Battle standards? I know that guilds can drop banners down, but there is something historical about planting a flag that flies high for all to see. This could be from Keeps, Towers, camps or even as a Stomp Finisher.

Maybe I have seen too many Kurasawa films, but I would swap my weapon out to carry a flag as we charge up the steps to capture the enemy Keep. Just for the morale and visual effect, it would be cool.

Since we know Fireworks are coded…. how about flares or fireworks? Map chat is fine, but I was thinking it could be used to help sight in long ranged siege.

fun to watch and very informative. i also really like your other tutorial vids – keep it up!

Brassnautilus,

I just saw your images from about a month ago – how do you get that superwide FOV? wow, that is incredible and more like where I put my settings in other games. That is the one thing I HATE about GW2 – the FOV is sooo close to my character’s back, esp in WvW or spvp, I feel like I am blind.

Anyone else have a suggestion on how to improve FOV? I see lots of youtube videos and my FOV is about 50% as far as most of the videos I see.
