Guild Wars 2

Yeah I know you can earn more pips but like DeWolfe said, It’s not even completed for now, but I guess I have my answer, thanks !

Just a quick question about it.
I was playing till I noticed I’m still not ‘close’ to be done with diamond chest. Currently at 1400 pips, seems like I still need more than 150 pips to complete the weekly rewards.

Was just wondering if it’s some sort of bug or if the wiki is wrong/isn’t updated.

Thanks in advance.

(From my experience)

No toughness needed.
Food not necessary but can be used (damage reduction or boon for more protection).

Ventari/Brill legendary.
Sword + Sword/Shield or Sword + Sword / Staff or if you wanna try kiter dps (not very useful tho) S/S + Hammer.
If you play hammer, you can save one block if you time your skill 3 to go into the bubble when he does the AoE.

Keep playing on Ventari and push heal when needed, you can actually spam it if you are lazy, combined with alacrity you can get your sword block skill 4 very often.
If you play with shield, I suggest to use it only on Brill legendary and get your passive heal on since you can’t move while using shield, hands will stack so when the shield is off, you might get some hands damage with bad tick timing. So active your heal before the end of the shield if you need to not fail.
When you want to use sword block, try to stack thoses 5 hands at the same spot, just spam once or twice the heal and take 3 first hands damages, use block before the 4th hand, with this, you should be blocking the 4th and the 5th hands and allowed to move safely to the next position.
When you are on Brill, try to always activate your elite skill + F2 if not on cd, stack as much as possible protection.
Brill heal can take the heavy AoE without any other block, you will survive and take no damage.

If you start with hands kiting, I’d recommand you a safe way to play with S/S+S
First wave of hands stacked with the sword method.
Second, take 3 hands damage with some ventari heal to recover + alacrity, move aside for 2 last, then move again.
Sword should be offcooldown for the 3rd waves so stack 5 agains with sword method.
Keep repeating.

When you see Deimos AoE, swap to Brill, passive heal + elite and F2. Shield when you have to take the damage. Before the shield going unactive, active heal and stack hands. with the protection on you, you should be able to tank 3/2 hands without heal, you will be like 50%hp mb. At this point you should be able to revover with ventari + sword.

Also :
I believe the AoE is triggered by certain HP remaining on Deimos (something like every 10 ?) because it’s different when I pug it, it comes way later than my static raid group.
I’d recommend you to not take the passive trait that proc shield when low on HP, you might actually die because of this (can’t move and stacking hands on you => rip)
When you get a bit of experience, you won’t need an healer anymore.
WHen you get pretty experimented on that, you should be able to stacks these 5 hands everytime easily and safely.

Good luck.

PvP population is very weak in this game. There is a starting hype because league just started.
So playing on a late night is the way to get rekt since there is even less people to farm.

Wow, I never thought it would go so far like this :P

First of all thanks for all answers, glad to see that I’m not the only one with troubles when it comes the time to switch from staff to 2 one hand weapons
Basically I’ve never thought about the problem in sPvP. I was thinking about PvE/WvW.

But honestly the argument about 8 elements is wrong since like I said i was purely speaking about out of combat, at max it would be 25 spells (And you can remove some of them cause they are actually more a waste of time to spell than everything else). Of course when I was saying Out of combat, it mean it would obviously be locked until you ran out of combat.

Keep in mind the fact that, even you are out of combat, switching element have cd, things that all other class dont have. => You can’t trick like Eruption (staff) swap into S/D fire for firefield + dragon/phenix then go back to earth for Earthquake + Churning Earth. So your “abuse” is already limited by this.
About switching as regard your opponent (mostly for sPvP), I think your build is depending of your weapon, so playing a D/D or S/D against some, and switching into staff wont be effective at all. I’m not asking for a template linked to 2nd swap, just the ability about pressing tab (by default) to get a staff or whatever.
It will provide 2 more sigils aswell, that what I’m looking for.

PS : english isn’t my main language :p

Do you think it would be realisable to give a switch for ele/engi when they are out of combat ?

I just feel like they have a little disadvantage since they can have only 2 sigil. Would be nice if they can get 4 like others. Well proc on crit/swap/ wouldn’t work, but it’s mostly cause i’d love to get my favourite combo (5% damage, energy/fire and stack on 2nd set :/)

To be sure you understand, I want to keep this sigil stack, so don’t tell me that I can just change weapon everytime…

Rofl, I’ve read the wiki two times before posting, must be blind >_>
Thanks

Hi, a guildmate asked something in guild tchat and we were not able to give him an affirmation.
if you have 25 stacks of might, and someone or even you using skill that provide might again, is this one useless, or refreshing the might who will go out of duration ?

Btw, I’m not talking only about might, other stacking buff/cond would work for this question I think.

So i guess you can still have 2 ore + sprocket

If not, when it will be ?
