Guild Wars 2

Dahkeus.8243:

Seriously? Is the viability of a thief in CoF really being judged over a 10 second discrepency between videos?

Discrepancy in time that has nothing to do with the classes being discussed from what I saw. All the time improvements were from other classes (mesmer blink, feedback, etc).

Considering the damage part, on strife’s new video second gate opens at 0:55 and they kill the effigy at 5:43, making it a 4:48 run.
On phira’s video, second gate opens at 1:02 and they kill the effigy at 5:51, making it a 4:49 run (Without mesmer’s feedback on effigy)

I can see going by that idea that new times can be stabilished, if Phira or Strife will be able to take it even lower I have no idea really, even if there’s room for improvement.

Overall it’s nice to see that both classes can be used in such a great way, wonder myself as well if other classes couldn’t be used to their maximum effectiveness to get similar times.

Nike Porphyrogenita.8137:

Won’t be a problem for you to post a faster video then. I await it with baited breath.

They did in matter of boss kills. What’s the point of asking for a full run video if you want to compare with one before quickness nerf? Who should actually post an updated video using 4 GS warriors and 1 mesmer to prove your point is you.

Also, what’s with the “Ah I don’t care if my slave driver kill is 1.5 seconds slower” if it’s a speedrun? Aren’t you aiming for fastest time possible? Where else would you do it faster than a normal pug group?
