Guild Wars 2

Rainbow trippy gw2 platform is a “success”.

Bad for people selling them and good for those buying I guess.

I know druid healer is meta, but I really like my ele and wanted to do something like this:

Are there any comps/raid wings where it would be viable ?

Turtle or hermit crab pet, with f4 that summons a dome that reflects projectiles.

Deer, and bats!

This is what I’ve really been enjoying dungeoning on. Its a zerk GS/Staff build.

If there’s a second druid, you can make it more damage focused :

dropping frost spirit and spotter, for quickening zephyr, and Strider’s Defense, for some amazing projectile hate.

So I googled to see if there was any new legendary news, and this forum thread was the newest thing… RIP

I figure better than just starting another WHY AREN’T THERE LEGENDARIES thread.

Slublings and Slothasor are obviously not-so-distant cousins of Lupicus Giganticus. /thread

auto attack really ugly too

Not bad. /15char

revenant should be removed. /thread

Is that the sword from the birthday finisher?

So basically regular sets of 3ish legends every 1 year, until the next expansion, 4 years from now ?

Andraus.3874:

He is just trolling sorry there’s no info.

ANET WHY

Testudo.4620:

you didn’t see the leaks? the dagger, greatsword, and warhorn were datamined. you should google it, they look great

Well, I googled it and found nothing, maybe I just can’t internet. Anyone ?!

“we will be releasing new legendary weapons in small groups at regular intervals until the full set of sixteen has been added to the game”

“the first three new legendaries will become available shortly after launch”

As far as I know, there has been no news about the second set, no teasers, no leaks, just information embargo.

As someone who preordered HoT with little hesitation, I am slightly off-put by the lack of communication.
(Correct me someone, if I am simply under-informed. )

Really, when are we going to even get 15 characters about the next set of legendaries ?

Vinceman.4572:

Run all paths again, from 1-3. Sometimes it is buggy, not only for HotW. A full rerun helps.

It worked. Thank you !

I have run this path multiple times this week, despite the troubles tied to finding people to do it with. However, every single time I do path 2, I do not receive credit for the Sanctuary Survivor completion achievement.

Am I doing something wrong? Tell me there’s something I am doing wrong that I can change to get credit please, anyone.

ThrottleFox.2735:

Get your zerker armor and throw it out and go make yourself a set of marauders armor

DPS loss not worth it. Kill or be killed.

Vuln stacking is a group buff.

do it. Yolo /15char

Animosity.5968:

Shield of avenger command stun breaks too. So does SyG (bonus stability), SY (bonus everything but long CD), CoP (all condi’s gone too) and JI (tele + burn dps). Still more power to you for using it.

Sure, but overall the 12% damage reduction, retal, weakness, and stunbreak on a now 20 second cooldown make it quite a good deal for a full zerk guard with less than 12k hp.

Obviously guardian. Because greatswords.

Animosity.5968:

But why are you popping it?

1 word: stunbreak. The weakness and retal is just icing.

Actually, I use Sigil of Judgement active all the time. Given I’m a pve scrub cashew-all—

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQNAR5dlsAhChYjQwUIwPEHxDldDy3UInivYVUDgGoeB-TxRBAB4pbwMlgUq+jGHEAAuCA59AAua/R5ngAMH-e

It’s really fun for HoT. I also manage fine for fractals switching SoJ for Reflect wall sometimes. I don’t pvp or wvw or raid on my guard.

I can see all the scepter 1 spam with a sigil of earth equiped LOL. #VipERGuard

I’m enjoying the Signet of Judgement buff, but seriously- even with a reduced cooldown, I have no reason to use Bane Signet’s active.

a possible fix to this issue would be to:

give a debuff after [insert mediocre time range ] of inactivity that does 1% Hp dmg per second. Additionally, while this is active, you do not receive participation for events. When you do an action [from a specified list of actions] the debuff gets removed.

nobody knows anything ?

If you don’t want to collect things, then you don’t have to. You have the entire lifespan of the game to complete what you deem worthy of doing.

If you’d rather farm lumber in Orr, or do jump puzzles all day, more power to you.

When can we expect the next 3 HoT Legendaries ? It’s been quite some time since the first three came out and yet there’s no news that I have been able to find.

Does anyone know when or where this was posted on the forums? I tried to find it again but it’s buried beneath all the forum posts !

zangato.2809:

would this spirit weapon rework intended for core guardian or the elite spec dragonhunter ?

I have HoT, but somehow I find myself using core Guard GS& Mace/focus. I would probably intend this based on improving core as I don’t really have any opinion on the state of dragonhunter currently.

Dear fellow guardians, would it be too strong if spirit weapons were summoned as long as the skill is equipped?

The active would still put the active skill on cooldown but it wouldn’t affect the spirit weapons passive abilities.

Is this the kind of buff that would make spirit weapons more usable?

Discuss.

I only bought 1 copper-salvage-o-matic, and so the account bound character slot would be a good investment for me. Although it’s a bit too pricy at the moment I would surely buy it when it goes on sale.

Xhyros.1340:

Guardian has the 2nd strongest autoattack chain in the game, right behind Revenant sword. Revenant sword auto is getting nerfed. Guardian will (probably) have the strongest autoattack chain, hopefully still decent burst with traps, and good offensive support with FMW.

Are you talking about mace?

Darknicrofia.2604:

core specs were already ruined

That’s no reason to worsen the situation.

Ragnar the Rock.3174:

Malchior.1928:

USEABLE SHIELD PLEASE?! And by that, I mean replace 4, buff 5.

Shield is actually quite nice now if you build for a defensive AEGIS build.

Granted those builds are no where near meta.

The thing that really needs changed is the shield trait.

Instead of toughness if it caused shield 4 to taunt enemies it hits and shield 5 to grant resistance then the shield would be truly useful.

I Don’t know about you but I can’t remember the last time I saw a guardian using a shield.

Darknicrofia.2604:

Honestly, if Anet simply added evasion to Wings of Resolve (and have its leap distance not be affected by cripple/chill/slow etc) I’d be completely satisfied with just that as our ground target peel/chase

That power creep would seriously ruin core specs.

USEABLE SHIELD PLEASE?! And by that, I mean replace 4, buff 5.

At least it’s not dhuumfire all over again. Which means the six should hear our prayers for buffs, right ?

I’ve personally been rocking the cele ammy but that’s because I like its versatility.

ronpierce.2760:

This skill is going to straight make me mad. It can’t even be properly used as a gap closer because it’s so hard to control against moving targets, and you RARELY get the blind benefit.

Seriously, this charge needs to home a bit better and be allowed to land early, as it stands, this skill is useful for like… starting a fight and that’s basically it…

Good for kiting and running away too !

spoj.9672:

It also needs its after cast removed and radius increased. Its far too easily interrupted and it doesnt hit very reliably. Id make it pulse more frequently for the same total duration as well.

You mean like eight 1 second pulses ?!

spoj.9672:

Skill 4 is one of the better skills. But its not perfect. The pulses are really slow. So for blind groups of mobs its kind of weak.

Instant cast and it’s perfect. A bit of life force gen and it’s the best skill on greatsword.

Death spiral is actually pretty good. It can generate 12-36% life force, it clears blinds, stacks vuln, works well with leeching.

It just needs about 1/4-1/2 of a second taken off the beginning of the cast time to be effective.

spoj.9672:

No it really is a l2p issue. Control your fingers. Dont blame it on lag.

Agreed. There should not be an icd to leave shroud.

OlliX.1705:

Nah, dark field is fine.

Only problem I see with Nightfall is that it roots you in place for quite a considerable amount of time.

Easy fix: make it instant cast.

Mm mm no. your Soul is Mine might even be worse than Blood Fiend :0.

Blood Red Arachnid.2493:

My list of suggestions so far:

Greatsword Changes:
#1: The auto attack should have their damage increased by 10%, and increase the chill duration on AA to 2 seconds base instead of 1.5 seconds.
#2: Gravedigger should receive a 35% increase in damage, and should recharge 100% of its cooldown instead of 80%
#3: Death Spiral should also receive a 35% increase in damage.
*#4: Nightfall should have a consistent size of 300 radii throughout. *
.

Also, Nightfall should be instant cast. We aren’t mesmers, we can’t blink, we can’t distort, we don’t have aegis; we need to be able to cast this skill while moving because we can’t afford to stay in one place.
