Guild Wars 2

skillze.7689:

I thought the idea of raids were to add more end game content for the community, can you show me a post saying that anet said the content was only for hardcore players ?

Its complete codswalop they may of said the content was difficult but never its only for the hardcore or the elitist’s, and the fact that people still try to pedal this crap is beyond a joke now.

“Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™, introduces the ultimate challenge: our first raid, which is made up of three distinct raid wings. Raids are 10-player, instanced, elite dungeon content that’s a challenge unlike anything we’ve previously released in Guild Wars 2. These raids are meant to put you and your teammates to the test and challenge you to grow your skills as Guild Wars 2 players. Raids are our answer to what skilled PvE players have to look forward to at endgame—the ultimate test to overcome and defeat.”

It’s up to you, how you want to interpret this statement.

The only reason a small minority of hardcore elitists want to keep it this way on lfg is because they only want to sell raids to the casual players so they never have to use real money to by gems from the bltc for more shinies that they are not will to get by supporting anet with real money. END OF!!

Yes, you are right. The hardcore guilds are also activly sabotaging pug lfg runs to make those fail. All the build and raid guides are also fake. Actually, those are all bad builds to make pugs never improve and to keep the gold from sells flowing.

Also the lfg is not the same on EU as NA so people saying lfg has groups not looking for LI/KP is few and far between, and having to waste hours on lfg with no joy is not how end game content should be NEW or VET players.

Raids weren’t designed to be pug content, so just find a guild/friends and learn raids by progressing together, especially if you are new.

As a person that primarly solo’s and is not interested in guild’s this shutdown any further raid content for not just me but alot of others and even people that have guilds. From my experience with guilds they only run a closed raid group that has been raiding since day 1 and are not willing to let others run with experience or not!

Oh well here we go. Even though you try to make this to a global ingame problem, it seems to be more of a personal issue. Believe it or not, but group play and guilds are the reason why most people play an MMO in the first place, especially when it comes to raids. You should try rpg’s instead.
There are plenty of raid learning /casual guilds that accept everyone who is atleast willing to make an effort and actually tries to improve. To quote Anet again: “Expecting to be able to just watch the UI to beat a boss? Guess again!”

How so? Sword, at least, has a ton of ways to apply Burning and Bleeding, and Weaver’s traits and utilities provide a lot of condition support. For example:

- Primordial Stance is a utility that blasts out conditions at regular intervals and can be maintained for a long time.
- The Weave Self elite skill boosts your Condition Damage, not your Power, Precision, or Ferocity.
- Weaver’s damaging traits focus about equally on Condition Damage and Power. Weaver’s Prowess gives you bonus Condition Damage when you change attunements, while Elemental Polyphony gives you Power if you’re attuned to fire, and Elements of Rage gives you Ferocity (and also a flat damage boost) when you double-attune.

I’m not saying you can’t be a Power Weaver—I have no idea yet—but to say it’s “clearly a Power spec” seems way off to me.

The traits have 35% of power modifiers and give you in addition +120power/precision. I’m not saying weaver is bad for condi but no idea why everyone thinks its mainly a condi spec.

Weaver is clearly a Power Spec so you probably won’t have to change armor. I guess it will be either Staff or Sword/Dagger since Scepter is kinda dead now.

I also heard that blowtorch gets buffed and the trait that gives +7%dmg on vulned gets increased to +10%.
But I guess in the end it just depends on how hard Tempest gets nerfed to give Engi a spot in raids.

guard dps is better for small hitboxes but for big hit boxes ely is better.

Tempest is better on both.

that not the case guard dps is higher in smaller hitboxes and he gives more buffs than ele might fury prot aegis and the on demand heal with f2 the only places to pick ele are big hitboxxes kc gorse and for rebound if you find your self in a bad spot

Well dps tests show someting diffrent even on small targets. Yeah i dind’t say guard is useless. Prot and aegis can be useful on some bosses.

Dragonhunters now do more dps than tempests for small hitbox targets and are great in fractals and raids for their protection spamming on skills.
Tempests are still going to win on bosses with a large hitbox because of meteor shower and glyph of storms.

Tempests also win on small hitbox targets. But i agree, that DH’s can bring lots of useful utilities.

Its decent on matthias aswell because you cant melee all the time.

Anet plz nerf rabbit

I have 31 and I killed chak 5 times so far.

Same here… The best example is the pvp lobby. At the entrance I have like 20-25 fps on the highest settings/same in LA. On the other side of the map, fps goes up to 200.
GPU usage is always 100% and CPU 40-50%.
Is there a way to increase the fps?

Switching to revenant

I’ll respond as I did on reddit:

If I never saw another game again with the trinity, it would be too soon. Just imagine how much fun Lord of the Rings would have been if all foes only attacked Boromir, while Gandalf stayed back and healed him and the hobbits, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli all dealt damage in relative safety.
You may believe, truly believe, that the trinity makes for a good game. But it’s contrived to the point where it removes everything that makes role-playing games great.

Thanks to this, casual gamer boromir had to die, because no one was able to heal him. Thats not fair.

Having the same problem since saturday…
-just updated my client. Now it finally works again.
