Guild Wars 2

Let’s display server and local time at once. It would make it way easier to coordinate events with players of different time zones 8without swapping displayed time in and out in the options).

Completing Glint’s Bastion requires finishing two collections. They mostly contain a bit farming the individual currencies of the HoT-Maps and stuff like full exploring one HoT-Map with the revenant. So you can use that collections to get familiar with the maps

IMO you won’t get any problems to get even high level fractal pug with rev. I’m used to play daily T4 with revs, having no problems to find groups. About raids, I’m in a raid oriented guild which prefers taking a rev for some encounters (trio for example). So smart people who know that rev is no speedrun option BUT still viable, even for raids, are out there

The math

Thank you for this insightful post!

In case of legendary cultural themed armoe: I have an asuran mage, an human necro and a sylvary mesmer. When I want to swap the armor between them, it must swap the shape as well, or it might look crappy.

I really like the idea, but I see no solution for that problem without unlocking culture armor across all races. So, a generic armor it is.

The leap attacks from every wolf are deadly. CoE runners can confirm this. But you can dodge/block/blind it easily.

I’d like to see revenants with shortbows someday.

imo, the red-grey color reflects the class whereas the colors of the utilities already reflects the current legend. Personally i like it this way, the red glow fits to my used dyes and especially to my weapons – the golden fractal sword with the red cube in it and Bo with its red silk flags.

But optic options are always nice: endgame is still fashion wars 2 <3

tl;dr: If solo, use Facet of Nature – One with Nature on CD. In a Group and with Shiro, burn your energy as fast as possible in both legends to maximize your uptime of facet of nature and quickness. With Jalis, don’t run out of energy beofre a legend swap to maximize Facet of Nature uptime.

For soloing in open world: out of combat just Facet of Darkness and Elements.
In combat: Facet of Nature – Facet of Darkness – Facet of Elements – Facet of Strength -One with Nature – Burst of Strength – Elemental Blast.

In groups, your facet uptime depends on your second legend. The interesting thing is that Shiro and Jalis are like day and night.

Shiro: Facet of Nature – Facet of Darkness – Facet of Elements – Elemental Blast – Facet of Strength – Burst of Strength – Facet of Chaos – Facet of Light – let your energy run out – Switch to Shiro – Enchanted Daggers – Impossible Odds – when your Energy is down Facet of Nature – Swap Legend.

The reason to run out of energy is to trigger the short cd of the facets and get access to Impossible Odds. Don’t forget: you can’t use Facet of Nature and IO at the same time.

With Jalis: Facet of Nature – Facet of Darkness – Facet of Elements – Elemental Blast – Facet of Strength – Burst of Strength – Swap Legend – Vengeful Hammers – Release Hammers around 3-4% or even at 1% if you can time it well to prevent ending your Facet of Nature – swap Legend.

The reason to drop the hammers before you run out of mana is that you don’t want to trigger the short cd of Facet of Nature.

I guess it’s not the meta rotation 100%, but brings out decent support if your party is lacking buffs and vulnerability. But remember to focus not too much on a rotation: if you need CC, use your skills for it, if you need a heal, heal yourself, If you need a blind, use Gaze of Darkness. And so on…

Running with my rev, was never interested in that necro/druid comp. Start your own lfgs, put no requierements into your description and everything will be fine – most of the time.

Except players join who are not able to adapt mechanics on t4, give them a few tries (everyone can have a bad start or day, no one is a full time high performer) and when nothing changes, apologize yourself, make clear that you think you party does not fit together and start a new lfg. There a days, I need 2-3 tries to find a good party and days, where I can run all T4 with my party for the recommended dailies, because we fit very well on low tier (indications for that: much might on us, much vulnerability on the enemies, good pulls, smart positioning, breaking bars).

I don’t bother if we need 30 or 45 minutes, I just wanna know, that everyone in my party has decent movement, which is imo far more important than any class or build.

I guess a more important question is

- Why can’t players use CC on breakbars correctly on T4 ?
Most prominent examples: I rarely see people breaking bloomhunger but crying they got oneshot after his groundpounding attack, where it built might up to 25… But in underground fractal, many people break the boss right IN FRONT of the melting pod showers instead of INSIDE them.

- Why have players on T4 still to reset whisps in swampland?

- Why can’t players dodge on T4?

- Why can’t players kite on T4?

- Why are players joining T4 when they don’t know, how a specific fractal functions?
That’s a thing for chaos and snowblind fractal atm, it is crazy how many times you have to explain people still on T4 what has to be done with the bonfires.

- Why don’t players take care of instabilites on T4?
e.g. flux bomb and social awkwardness

Ops, that was more than one question.

Great to see I’m not the only one who is looking for that scores^^

You should follow ArenaNet on Soundcloud. At the moment the Tarir battle music is not there or the music for victory in Tarir, but I hope the tracks will be uploaded soon (that’s the reason I found your thread; I’m looking for that two scores, too).

One thing i didn’t like so much, because it reminds me of a scene in the final of LS1: When Ogden asks you, if you know who gave the dragon egg to the leader of the zephyrites. We didn’t know and he told that stereotypical “then you aren’t ready to know it”. It’s like Bhraman, when Scarlet said, that we don’t know what her real plan was and he just refuses to hear more, because “We don’t need to hear here words, because she is evil and has to be stopped and that is all…”.

I don’t like tropes like that, because they show that the NPCs are leading the story and have might over the decision what we have to know and what not. And so the NPCs start to annoy me.

But all in all, that was the best LS update since The Origins of Madness for me

Thanks for the organization and gg to all of the other teams \o/

After watching the dev speak about Taimi and thinking about the whole group around the living story (Kasmeer, Marjory, Braham, Rox, Taimi and – maybe – Scarlet), I’m pretty sure there will be a set of minis from all of them, sooner or later, like from the Destiny’s Edge party.

fadeaway.2807:

Can I suggest a mini taimi available to all with a portion of profits going to a multiple sclerosis related charity?

That idea reminds me of the pink day and I totally agree!

Town Clothes would be really great!
