Guild Wars 2

update: I mined nearly a hundred more nodes and finally did get nickel ore again.

Now, for that elusive zinc ..

I see.
Must be rng and bad luck on my side then. I’ll keep digging!

Thanks

When doing the Incinerator precursor collection, I managed to destroy (intentionally even, not accidentally) Nickel and Zinc Ore which are required to craft Lumps of Invar and Mizin, respectively, before having crafted those.

Is there any way to get the ores again, so that I can craft the lumps I need?
Will they drop again when mining? (no such luck so far, but it took a few dozen attempts the first time, too)
Will they be added to Craftsman Hobbs in the future? (so far, his “misplaced items” tab is empty for me)

Thanks for any info on the matter.

On a slightly related note, using traps, tricks, siege, food, whatever else directly from the inventory with absolutely no way of keybinding them is also very.. convenient.

One important thing that hasn’t been mentioned so far: because it is a field that stays up AND pulses over time, you can sort of pre-cast it to remove condis in advance. Most likely fear, which prevents you from using skills altogether, and high stacks of confusion, which punish you for using skills.
So yeah, you can drop null field on self when you expect being hit by fear in the next second (and/or already have/expect to be receiving additional conditions).

Well, what about (gasp) WvW?

everyone already runs WvW with a low culling setting so their PCs don’t melt on 3 way zergs at garrison or stonemist :P

And in such situations you never care about single casts anyway.
You might if sniping or engaging in small-scale fights.

Not that I’d terribly want this option, but if it’s just an on/off tick, why the heck not. Pvp, pve, whatever.

Null field is fine, any buff to it makes it OP and a must-have skill for any kind of team fights.

I would like to be able to see not only utility cooldowns, but cooldowns on my alternate weapon set, too.
Or on both weapon sets even, when wielding en engi kit.
Or on all ele attunements.

So you think you’ve seen it all? Crazy amount of knockbacks, falling and not dying and other fun stuff?

Nah, consider this: Skyhammer, new and improved, now with swimming!

(I got knocked off the map, fell and died; respawned, immediately started falling again and fell through the bottom sand floor, too. Couldn’t swim up/jump up on the sand.)

I’m Deso since launch and hell, even I don’t know what the reason was. I noticed people talking in map chats about us intentionally dropping to silver in order to have life easier and to win more, but the discussion usually ended in "lol"s, “kittens” and “noobs” being tossed around.

I had played plenty way back, before the ranks and stuff. That must have been when all the guilds and pros were around. Nowadays, I’ve been around mostly past-midnight and early morning/noon (GMT+1) and I gotta say, some of the fights and organization and actions and speshul taktiks have been pretty kitten good. Even with the so-called PvErs. Much better than in the good ol’ days actually.

Also, EB having queue at 8.40am is nothing rare here.

Kudos to our commanders who manage to whip the herd into some shape and form and have it behave and play nicely towards a common goal.

Hi Osi,

what are your thoughts on rabid gear vs the new dire gear?
