3906 hours played on warrior, can anyone beat that? Just curious…….
I certainly hope not, since that is approximately 10,7 hours a day. I don’t want to preach or judge you, but man, that is too much! Think about what you could have done with that time. Will you think on your death bed: “Man I wish I could have played more Guild Wars 2”? I think not :P
Jeez…
Nah, ArenaNet will just get to sell a lot of lvl 80 transmute stones at the gem store. People will keep their unique looks. The transmute stone lets you separately pick the appearance, the stat package, and the rune/gem.
While lot of people (myself included) are indeed interested in arnor looks for purely cosmetic reasons, there is equally big group that wants to show off theiraccomplishments that way. All those people that claim that cultural armor must cost a lot, or it won’t be as cool are not going to convert their ascended looks into something cheaper. In the end, unless something changes, lot of the “elite” grinders are going to end up looking exactly the same.
At least they will have the option to change their colour sets.I have to comment now, because I am one of those people who think that cultural armor should be difficult to obtain, just like the best looking armors (in my opinion) in GW1 was.
That being said, I would definately transmute the sats of my ascended armor into my cultural tier 3 armor, if I find cultural armor to look better.
So please, do not speak about “all those people”
If you don’t think T3 Cultural Armor is “difficult to obtain” at 119g, you have an absolutely worthless definition of “difficult to obtain”, I would suggest. What armour set is harder to obtain in GW2?
What? I don’t even… Maybe you should read the relevant posts again?
What I was basicly saying, was: “I think tier 3 should be difficult to obtain and still I think that I would transmute the future ascended items’ stats to my existing tier 3 looks”. I said that because he said: “All those people that claim that cultural armor must cost a lot, or it won’t be as cool are not going to convert their ascended looks into something cheaper.”
P.S. I’m not sure if this is relevant considering my point, but I do think 119g can be difficult to obtain (plus then the fine transmutation stones).

I love the new AC
The best part is that now even pugs want to kill Kholer, because he’s easier
Kholer was never hard, the animation he does in preparation to shoot the pull wire was blatantly obvious. It is silly though how it’s a guarantee’d death if you get hit by it. Bravo to balance, typical ANet lazy design. That’s the crap that make people not enjoy the encounters and simply skip it.
Yes, it was never hard. You just need to dodge. That has not changed, but nowadays if you fail the dodge, it’s not insta-death anymore. That was my point. I’ve done it many times now with pugs where people fail to dodge, but do not die.
I love the new AC Some encounters are a bit tough to pull off with pick up groups, but they are really good with an organized team. I think ANet did a good job with AC.

To answer your question: Bleeding stacks only to 25 for financial reasons. Every stack and every tick costs (server costs). They could balance bleeding so that everyone would have their separate bleed stacks of 25, but they won’t because that would make the server costs higher.
This is from an interview I read a while back, but cannot be kitten to search and link it, sorry

I whole-heartedly agree with the idea to make story missions soloable. It is a real chore to get a group for them (even from gw2lfg).
Another option would of course be to award story mode dungeons with tokens. Not sure which option would be better in the end, but I think something has to change
P.S. I actually left the game for a month because I couldn’t find anyone to do CM story and got frustrated on my first character.
You have a horrible opinion about WvW, tom. You can do so much more than just zerg around there
Actually I do not just “ant walk” when I play WvW. Do you, tom.7468?
And yes, I do want my ascended items without “work”, since I do not play games to work. I work to work, and play to play, if you get my drift I don’t need to get them immediately, but I do want a lot of different stat combinations (so many ascended pieces of the same item type) and with laurels that’d take me… about… the whole year
I want to enjoy the game content (for example wvw), not a shallow grind for stats.
Libertine, I do try to avoid as much damage as I can. I know I’ll never be a true tank or healer in the trinity sense, but I did roll guardian to protect people. Finding the optimal balance between damage output, utility, and survivability will probably take a long time (and vary according to situation), and I’m okay with that, I just know that if I have to pick one of the three as a starting point, I prefer survivability.
I didn’t mean to imply that you didn’t dodge or block or anything, was speaking about it generally
It sounds like you have a pretty solid thing going on. Starting with high survivability is a good tactic. I am myself just now trying to get more damage out of my build by changing some of my armor to berserker’s pieces. Work in progress
I assume you are talking about PvE. In my opinion in PvE it’s best not to “tank” in this game. At least not in the traditional sense of facetanking.
That being said, I prefer using hammer for the great protection buff, ok damage, and combo blast finishers it brings. People should not in my opinion underestimate the hammer #2 finisher. Also I think that damage mitigation from protection buff is superior to mace healing.
As I see it, my role on the battlefield is dishing out as much damage as possible and buffing allies without dieing. Not soaking up all of the avoidable damage and tanking in the traditional sense.
For leveling purposes I would suggest GS so you can gather a mob with #5 and then spin to win But, again, it all depends on what you want to do. Just my 2 cents.
Someone call PETA, the kitten is about to hit the fan 
The new dungeon is great, I would have played it every now and then with enjoyment. But I’m not gonna farm it for 200 hours. There was no need to make a stat carrot. I will not join the donkey wagon.
Gosh. There’d still be time and means to reverse this, but alas we can be 100% sure that our concerns will go unnoticed.
