If you’re planning on decking out your equipment in +5 stat infusion in the future It might be easier to invest some money into some +9 infusions. First extract your +10’s and break them down. Since you have 5x +10s you should already have 10x +9 worth. You’l need to buy 2 more for 12 in total. In the end you’ll have 12×9=108 6×7=42 150 in total. This is useful because it allows you to keep a few of the +7s and replace them with infusions with the same AR value but with stat bonuses slowly without having to redo others.

However if you just want the AR and don’t plan on Min Maxing you can break your 5x +10 infusions into 8x +8 and 6x +9. You’ll need to buy an additional 4x +8 to have a total of 12×8=96 6×9=54 150 in total. It might seem expensive to buy 4 +8s, but that’s that cost of upgrading one of your old +10s to a +11 the old way and you still would have been 1 off from 150. 150 AR is actually a tad cheaper with the changes by around a +10 worth of gold.

I also urge searching the forums a bit before starting a new thread. There have been at least 5 separate threads that were created since patch about the same topic. Majority of them have been merged, but they’re out there.

Edit: You probably have enough infusions to make whatever you’re missing. New npc in fractals will help make the process a bit easier.

so I just came back from a little break and with the recent infusion updates im a little confused. Ive been reading a lot about breaking down infusions but im not sure where to do so. My ultimate goal is to reach 150 AR the cheapest way possible. Heres where im at now:

- all weps/armour have a +7 simple infusion
- my backpack has a +7 simple infusion and a +10 agony infusion
- my rings (infused & attuned), each have a +7 simple infusion, and two +10 agony infusions
- each accessory has a +7 simple infusion

equaling a total of 141 AR. What can i do!!!

I also have 3k +1 agony infusions in the bank

just got my 7th character slot!! im really having trouble deciding between necro, mes, and ranger. i am not experienced at all with these classes… im a pve/wvw player and i pretty well like to play anything that is fun, any suggestions? (PS if you’re on Blackgate server add me so we can level our new alts!!)

ive recently been trying to get the achievements for the JP’s but i really suck at them… if anyone wants to add me, “Jet Lyfe”, and help with them that’d be great! Or if you have a mes and want to make some extra gold, ill pay 1-2g for every port to the top of a JP!!!
Rock On!!!

so i have loaded all my characters with divinity runes, and with the new stat ferocity coming in i believe they wont be used much at all. should i just sell them and get my money back before the feature patch? or will they still be worth using?

Contiguous.1345:

Combos aren’t really intended to be single-player ‘tricks’ they are really for group play.

A typical example is the very commonly used swiftness buff you’ll encounter in WvW.

Your commander will call a halt so that everyone can group up then call out ‘static field’. The elementalists in the party will then lay down an AoE static field that you see as a shimmering ring. The commander calls ‘blast it’ and all the guardians and warriors will then do a hammer blow, which is a blast finisher.

That combination of static field and blast finisher grants up to a couple of minutes of 33% increased run speed to everyone in the party.

Similarly, in the middle of a fight, someone will call out ‘water field’ and lay down same on the commander. Everyone with a blast finisher hits that and everyone within range gets a huge heal.

Knowing your combos takes group play to the next level.

Thank you. I always witnessed this in WvW and never knew what it meant, now I do !

Wallace MacBix.2089:

Basically a combo works like this.

You need two things,
1) A combo field
2) A combo finisher

A field can be something like a Water Field or a Fire Field

A finisher can be something like a Blast Finisher, Leap Finisher, or Projectile Finisher

The effect you get depends on what combination you make.

If you use a Leap Finisher to move inside of a Fire Field you gain a Fire Aura. If you use a Blast Finisher on a Fire Field you instead give might to nearby allies. If you use a Projectile Finisher your ranged weapon will do additional damage.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Combo

Gives a nice list of all of the combos.

For example if you use a ranged weapon to get a Projectile Finisher and shoot through a Water Field you will get a regen boon.

I hope that helps.

Thank you sir, this helps me understand combos much better, much appreciated everyone.

ive been trying to learn exactly what “Combo Finishers” are and how to use them. ive tryed going over the gw2 wiki page but find it too confusing. for example: my engi’s healing turret skill says Combo Field: Water or Combo Field: Light. I really dont understand this and would appreciate it if someone could dumb it down for me.
All i really know is that with a D/P thief, skill 5, then 2, grants you a few seconds of invisibility lol

Hi, im a little bit of a new Engineer, and this is the current build im running (includes weapons, gear, trinkets etc).
I really enjoy this build and i believe its pretty optimal for PvE, check it out and let me know what you think.
The only issue is when I run selective dungeons or WvW, i die pretty easily. it may be because i have zero toughness im not sure.
If anyone has any suggestions on how i can balance this build for PvE as well as WvW i would love to hear them.
Feel free to post your builds for comparison!!

So im trying to make the most bad kitten big black Norn engineer in all of Tyria. Ive decided on Magitech amour cause it was practically made for an engi. But im having issues with the dye combination. Magitech armour has 4 dye slots per piece of gear, so i was thinking either abyss, black, or midnight ice (not sure which is the darkest), then celestial dye, then gold dye, and an undecided 4th dye. What gear/dye do you run with on your engi?

I currently use magitech medium armour (love it), but i cannot find a good dye combo I like and I need your help! gold is no issue. i think im leaning towards a green dye but im open to anything with some flare.
thanks!

im a new level 80 Norn engi who likes too pve/wvw. im not used to the play style at all and i am struggling to create a decent build. is there any kind of standard when it comes too engi’s? whats your build look like?

hi folks. ive owned the game since the first day and as a left hander, mostly utilize my numpad with my right rand. this has worked fine for me until recently. i just recently leveled an ELE to 80, and with my current key bindings (keybindings are currently +,-,*,/), switching attunments so often is very hard to do efficiently. any suggestions that will allow me to switch attunments more efficiently? feel free leftys to share your keybindings.

ps: i own a normal mouse with left click, a right click, and a scroll wheel lol

thanks

I bought this game when it was released and the community walked me through it. I m now extending the olive branch. If anyone would like to play together or if you need any help feel free to add me! I am dabble in everything.. pve, wvw, pvp so hit me up if you want someone to level with you or kill some fellow players. Who knows, maybe we’ll get a group going!

Cheers!

I’ve collected many Mystic Coins from achievements and such, but I don’t know what they’re used for.

This is what I prefer.. I’m using axe/axe and a longbow (I prefer bow for aoe dmg). My traits consist mainly on deterrence (30) and precision (30), with a little dash of defense (10). I go for gear that benefits power and precision. The whole point of this build is to critical hit as much as possible, and deal a massive amount of damage. But beware, you are very squishy, this build lacks health but makes up for it in damage.

Thanks for this, I started to catch on to some sort of pattern, but you just confirmed it for me
