Guild Wars 2

EDIT: I really cannot belive it, but a very kind person really did help me out. Thank you again, random stranger! Your legacy will be remembered by the Raven.

Greetings fellows,

so… I’ve decided (finally after 5 years of playing GW2) to craft my first legendary weapon – Nevermore. Thanks to my gold and mats saving I’m almost done. I have the precursor, gift of nevermore and Mystic tribute (almost – just missing 30-or so clovers) ready. Pretty much the only thing that really prevents me from finishing it are the Amalgamated gemstones. So far I’ve managed to collect 60 out of 250 of them. I’m really getting worried that with the upcoming expansion it will become very difficult to find enough people for reliable HoT amalg farm, not to mention the increase in price. So yeah… donations of amalgamated gemstones would be immensly helpful and greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Can’t even log back into the game anymore. And I have not finished my dailies yet … well rip… again.

Yey, thanks for the video, it’s good to see it in action. And with Jazz!

well… the usual dilemma between lower crit chance with higher crit dmg vs. higher crit chance with lower crit dmg
It won’t make much of a difference anyway… and since I’m more used to zerker, I ithink I’ll stick to it. Finding the right balance between toughness and dmg will be the hardest part.
Btw, do you think it’s possible to run raid tank with exotic armor + ascended accessories? Dunno how long it will take me to craft a new set of ascended armor.

I may try running some dungeons first to practice the skill rotations and blocking/evading boss attacks. I need to prepare my gear anyway.

well… now I’m even more worried about trying the tank role The bigges issue is that I don’t have any stable raid group, and everyone expect you to be exp and best, with X amount of Li.

Ye, I’m a bit worried about that low toughness. Seems like I’ll be ‘squashed’ a lot.

So I’ll try something like this http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vhUQRAse8cnsICFoh9fCmfCUrhlnjq+PT0FFdx+gH7sACgDD-TxRBABcpcAgTCAlq/clSu/3fwMlg4p/hUAjK1C-e

Thanks for the advice

with runes of the chronomancer ?

Fay.2357:

As long as your team is good, you only need 1-2 pieces of toughness gear. I usually use an amulet to get the toughness, and I run zerker for every other piece.

So would you suggest using the Commando build with berserker’s chest/trinkets over Knight’s, because of the boon duration bonus?

So, I’ve been looking for a raid chronotank build and found these two:

Commander:

Knight:

I am not sure which one to choose. The Commander build offers longer boon duration and higher dps, but the toughness is much lower than on the Knight build. Any advice from experienced chronotanks?

Thanks.
