Guild Wars 2

So, here’s a question. Waypoints. How do they work, in a roleplay sense? Does one have to walk up to them and use them, a la Harry Potter’s Floo Network? Or are you able to just use them from anywhere?

Reason I ask is due to a debate in guild chat, over which makes more sense. Obvious things like attunement to said waypoints, contested waypoints.. Those are already understood.

No, a friend is collecting all sorts of these items for hilarious purposes. I was just trying to be helpful. :P

…That’s about as specific as it gets. You know, an item, the you use from your inventory, that gives you a bundle. Like.. Healing Seed, from Bad Omen Beach. Or whatever it’s called.

No, no, I mean like.. An item that you click in your inventory that gives you stuff.

Posting for.. Well, partly because I want Dawn, and partly because I think this guy is awesome for trying what he is trying.

There’s a meat on a stick item somewhere. A bundle-from-inventory thing. I can’t find it. Meat on a stick, cow leg, garm’s bone, something like that. I know it exists! I can’t figure out where! I figured it’d be meatoberfest, but no..

Dooooon’t forget infinite fear. Not sure what skills they are, but having to stand in a corner for 5 minutes really isn’t fun.

Mortar sucks. Just putting it out there now, it sucks. Way too short of range, plus it has a minimum range as well, aaaand.. It sucks. Only good button on it, honestly is the clusterbomb, but with the way that works, it’s not as likely to get a full hit in because the first hit can jettison the target away. Now, on a keep siege defense, mortar can be useful with that.. Or you can supply drop them and arrow cart them while they can’t move.

Elixir X, while it may seem good, is too random to be used regularly. Whenever I’ve needed tornado, it gives me brute. Whenever I need brute, it gives me tornado. And as with the rest of the engineer kit [ or at least, a lot of it ]… Random things suck. I hate trying to throw down a projectile-stop or reflect wall and get.. A stealth wall.

Supply crate gives you a bunch of bandages, which heal for a decent amount each. A net turret, which is self-explanatory, nets things. Flamethrower turret, also obvious, and a healing turret which.. Heals. A pretty strong regen heal, actually. Even more useful, if you’re specced for it, these turrets can blowout explode when they die. Or they can take -forever- to die. On top of that, the drop itself is a stun, which opens the enemy up for plenty of damage, or even more cc.

Mostly pointing this comment at Durzlla.

Thaaaat’s not how sigils work at all.

Your mainhand sigil will proc first, and at that point put on a cooldown based on that sigil [ Rage, 45s. Air, 5s, etc. ] As a result, putting another crit-proccing sigil on your offhand is a waste, yes. Putting one that doesn’t proc off crits is a good thing. Even smarter would be, say, a Force sigil on your mainhand, and a crit sigil of some sort on your offhand. Never use two of the same sigils unless they’re passives, because they share a cooldown. Sigil stats, such kitten damage and 5% crit, will also not show up on your character screen, but they are still there.

So there’s no pointless debating, here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sigil

I’d like to point out my personal history with grenades.

One: I am the cc/support/25 vuln stacker in my dungeons. I chill, I vuln, I net, I knockdown, I clear conditions, I weakness, poison, burn, etc. Not all with grenades, obviously [ elixir gun and elixir u for reflect walls ]

Two: Underwater. WvW.

Total. Quaggan. Domination. If a quaggan camp is under attack, I am there. Oh, it’s 5 people? Okay. They’re all clustered up. Now they are dead, because elixir u and 6 grenade lobs flying at them in less than 1.5 seconds. Combined with a frost grenade salvo in the middle somewhere, it makes them hard to recover from that.

Every other class I’ve played with underwater has been way, way inferior. The only class that can stand up to a grenadier engi underwater…

..Is another grenadier engi.

SE Koptev route, 30 tokens, started at roughly 4:15 PST, ended at 4:57 PST.
SE Fergg route, done immediately after the prior run, only got 15 tokens. Finished it within 30 minutes because it’s really hard to NOT finish it that fast.

Mind you, I haven’t run any dungeons in over a week. Do this, suddenly don’t want to run dungeons in general anymore. It’s like I’m being punished for being good..

Just finished SE Rasolov. 6 tokens, 2 silver, 60 copper. 7:05 PST.

The reset to just prior to the update sounds like the best choice at this point. It’s what I’ve done in the past for things like this, such as when a Windows Update managed to break my playing of WoW at 60~fps.
