:D!!! Just want to say how much fun it has been, getting the community together for these past few days! Plenty of 4am nights(mornings?) running on 6 cups of coffee, and a lot of teamwork resulted in this. Congrats to everyone! Kinda more fun this way, having to wait a few days to get the kill.. Because now we have all made friends we wouldn’t have met and gotten to know otherwise. Here’s to many more evenings like this!
Cheers,

Was a great try!! We’ll get it soon.

So the question is…. Is this still worth investing into at 1.25S each?

I had bought 10 stacks at 45c each, but I’m wondering if the market will just keep going up.. Seems like a pretty big risk

Thanks for the input, everyone! I was able to sell it today for an 8g undercut, netting 700g. I think I will invest this in the t6 mats I will need anyway.

Best case: pre crafting comes out soon. This may cause t6 mats to rise, but I will already have mine, and when the pre market goes down a bit, I can just buy it back.

Worst case: I buy t6 mats and w/o pre crafting, I will buy the pre back for hopfully not much more than 100g over what I sold it for.

A nice ~100g risk that I think may pay off.

Vol.7601:

Market for precursors could crash tomorrow or Friday (stream?) if they announce precursor crafting.

However, it could also go back up if the requirements for precursor crafting are difficult and time-consuming enough that buying a precursor is still a viable option.

I would love to know your opinion on my last post, as you seem to make many really good market calls in gw2 :P

Yeah… I was thinking of it as a short-med term investment call… I would probably just put the ~700g in my guild bank and keep it there as I grind out the mats… That way, if pre crafting comes out I can decide what to do then… If crafting doesn’t, I have only lost about 100g and can just buy another off the TP… So it’s a potential loss of ~100g and a potential gain of maybe much more… That it, IF the market is at cap, and The Legend isn’t worth 1k gold two months from now.

Yeah… I could sell some mats and have enough to list it… It’s the Bifrost pre.
See the thing is, if the market is at peak, which I think it is…. I could sell it now, then buy it a month and 1/2 from now (I hope) at less gold, and have most of my mats together.. idk! haha

And yes I plan on building it.

Hey all! Just wondering if you think it would be better for me to keep or sell my pre… I just got it last night, and it is worth a lot of money. I will be making the legendary, but I have NONE of the mats but the pre… So with that said, would I be better off selling it now and hoping for a price crash by the time I have everything else? Or should I just keep it? Thanks for all your help!
Also I have heard that I can sell it on the TP for just over vendor price and it will go to the highest buyer w/o the huge TP fee, is this true? I would love to know your opinion on how to sell a pre, because I would hate to post it, then get undercut a min later and lose ~35+g

Thanks again for any help!,
Sky

If it is the Pre for the Legendary you want to make, keep it. That’s a no brainer.

If it is the Pre for a Legendary you don’t want, sell it and use the money to buy the Pre you want.

Yeah… Just wondering if the market is gonna crash in the near future… Cause if so, I could buy it back and have gained some money towards the other mats… As right now I have 15g haha, and that won’t get very far.

I’d love to join as well! Been playing Ele since the beta, and I just can’t seem to give it up. In game name is, Evogrin.

Well, I will agree that having an Ele in a team fight is many times just a free rally for the opposition. However, in the hands of a very skilled zerk ^Staff^ ele using Teamspeak, said zerk ele can change the outcome of every large fight in a match. (Hotjoin: forget it hahaha)

ex: 4v3 mid at the start of a fight. Lets say it’s on Khylo. The ele goes above Clocktower and hits air5/earth5/fire2/fire5/tornado all onto point, and it’s an auto win for your team. Now, you say “duh” someone will peel off to 3 shot the ele!". Well that’s fine, now you’ve just made the fight in CT a 3v3 AND you’ve gotten a lot of your DPS skills off as well. Lightning flash down over point and leave a cc trail. Even if you go down you’ve left a large atvantage for your team on mid, and with the time bought by mist form, your team should have by now at least downed one of the people on CT and you can expect a rally.

I am by no means the Ele skilled enough to reliably do that every time, but our team runs with an Ele who does. And you would be supprised how many times everything on point suddenly dies, or how the thief suddenly leaves mid chasing the Ele off point while we down people in mid.

Again, the Ele right now is NOT an on-point class, but I would recommend trying it with a good group on teamspeak, it can be a lot of fun!:)

So yes Ele’s are not the best choice for Spvp/Tpvp, but they do force a “chess match” mind game for the enemy.

If you want to see specific engineer video guides, would love to hear what you are looking for and I will try to add it in my video series.

Hey! Would love to get a link to your current WvW build used in the video!

Hmm… Well I will say this: There are wayyyyy more human warriors than Sylvari. But I think that is because the Sylvari race can seem a bit limited at times.
So if you are looking for a race you will always be happy with, pick human. But if you wanna be more unique, choose Sylvari

I myself have settled on a Sylvari warrior, after lvling both a Human and Asura warrior to 80. (kept the Asura)

Well if we’re talking about PvP balance, ranger is in a really good place in tpvp….

I think that A-net hears what the community has been asking for… Stuff like class reworks don’t just happen overnight, which is why we haven’t seen them yet.. I would say look forward to some changes in the way LS works, new Legendaries, more permanent content (like Southsun), fixes for some class structure problems, and more content for spvp… Just my guesses though (*crosses fingers for a new race and expansion… I would reroll as a Tengu ranger SO fast)

Oh haha, wasn’t’ even replying to you, Cesmode :P ..And yeah no trolling intended, I don’t think the tone of my post reflected that, most just surprise that people can find a “who’s excited” thread and think, “boy, how can I reply and show how non-excited I am” :P

I can’t wait for 2014… Lol @ all who are complaining…. Just leave for another game and stop QQing on our forums?:) …There is a difference between not being happy with the state of the game and trying to voice opinions towards a solution, and just QQing for no reason whatsoever. Its not worth anyone’s time, especially yours. Life is too short, go find something you enjoy, and leave this enjoyable for those who enjoy it? MERRY CHRISTMAS

With zerk gear ofc.. It seems like this skill will shine in VERY specific conditions

Trololol, this could be OP in some dungeon runs… 5 targets hit for 13-16k each with WW? 1/5 of that would be…… 13-16k! …Gonna have to see how it plays out…

I have been running p2 PuGs a lot lately, using full zerker gear.. At first I was dying like crazy, till I got the hang of things.. I now use GS and Sep/Focus.. Kite around using Septer, and if you need to move in just switch to GS 3 for the blind followed by GS 2 and by then the mob is dead xD …If you need the extra bit of defense, hit Focus 5 right before switching to GS for the blocks… With full zerker gear the mob will be dead in about the time is takes the mobs to miss that first attack, then you can dodge roll out.

But yeah don’t stop moving at all, kiting is your friend in that fight.

I am interested on hearing Man Slauterer’s views on Guard gear however, because I tend to favor full DPS guards in dungeons such as CoE,. Can’t seem to leave behind the 20k+ WW’s in PuGs

Hey all! I am just about to hit 80, and I know there are already many great PvE guides out there, but I dont know which one to use! haha.

Any advice and/or links on the best setup for PuG fractals and dungeons would be awesome! Esp. cause I need to start working on a gear set. (taking into account that I am mostly running with randoms, so a glass cannon build may not be ideal if I am trying to also keep others alive

Thanks again!

One day soon I shall be able to join you! ……..Just need like, 6 more pieces of the armor. D;

Soon!

Hey all! Thanks in advance for any help! I am about to buy a new laptop (and yes it has to be a laptop on account on me having to travel a lot) and I have about 750$ to spend on it.. The Lenovo Y410p looks like the best option for the money Here is the link

What are your thoughts? Are there better options out there for the money? I know I can’t expect to max out gw2 on this, but any opinions on how it would run? Thanks sooo much!!
-Evo

Thanks all! I guess I’m just so used to having perma swiftness from the Ele/Engi/Warrior haha, this feels much different. I’m loving the playstyle for PvE though!..

Also, Lythereal! <3 ..Haha I’m on BG! I transferred two days ago, Zulubeast and co. spent about a month talking me into it.

Hey! Just like the title, wondering how to get these… I just came back to gw2, and it looks like the only way is to unlock 100’s of chests hoping for ticket scraps? Haha, and help would be amazing.

Heya! Just wondering if it would be better to go with condi damage, or just upfront damage? …Any advice would be awesome! Also, any easy options for good swiftness uptime?

Many Thanks!,
Evogrin

Thanks so much for the replies! I am really excited to try this out with the warrior. I used to lead a lot of havoc groups with a staff ele, but this will allow me to get into the fray without having to worry as much about staying alive during the first few secs of the fight.

Just like the title, any of you out there with the exotic hammer, “Genesis”? ..I would love to see some screenies of what it looks like with lvl 80 armour! Thanks so much!

Hey all! So I know this has been asked before, so if anyone has any great links to threads on this that would be great.

With that said, the meta keeps changing so I would love some current info on what warriors are running for full out tanking in WvW.. I’m thinking about commanding soon, and I want to be able to lead groups into the front lines without worrying about being the first to drop.

I’m thinking that hammer/sword-warhorn(or shield) would be the best group leading setup, and -condi duration food?

Thanks for all help!

Well I’m on Kaineng so…

My experience in t3 reset for the first time.

The heck!? MY SKILLS WORK???!? sdfjkhaaaghgalg

Guys we can’t let the thread die Also… ^^Pretty classy post right there from that [NAGA] commander(?). Deciding not to do something perfectly within his game given rights, just to uphold the standard of a server.

Farewell TC and FA! Was fun fighting you these last weeks! What an awesome match up to come back to gw2 with.

./Salute

Some other time then!

I just lost a rare item and 20+ Ecto’s to this -__- ….No fun to see this happen, esp. after working hard for Ecto’s, just to see them vanish

Wow, some of the best action I have seen in a while, and for sure some of the most fun in EB yesterday afternoon!

Was great to see such coordination between large KN guilds and PuGs as we tried to lock down our corner of the map.

Nice fights guys, looking forward to today!

Well the title pretty much says it all ..Before I upgrade my computer I would love to know what you guys think to be a good setup for running WvW maxed out with minimal lag (at least on my side, I realize that server lag and such are beyond control).

There may already be threads on this, if so, any links would be amazing

Thanks again,
-Evo

Wow guys.. I have just come back to GW2 after leaving 2 weeks into the game on account of lame WvW action… Now that it’s been several months and transfers are more or less locked in.. Wow, WvW is amazing again!

Great fights all! Awesome matchup! Good luck to all, and can’t wait to get some great fights going tonight!
