-assetsrv 64.25.41.2 worked for me, but only on the 32 bit client (Gw2.exe), not the 64 bit (Gw2-64.exe). Try using the 32 bit client to create the shortcut if you have a 64 bit operating system. Was able to download patch, login, and get in game. Thanks for tip.
Edit: I also added Google DNS in my network config. This workaround only works for me with Google DNS active, was not able to login after I removed DNS.
