backpack is rox’s quiver due to it having the 2 daggers (I use it alot myself) and I looked through the male hair styles none of them but 1 have a head accessory but its a bandanna. so it’s most definitely the vigil headguard. https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vigil%27s_Honor_Headguard

Does Ascended Armor still drop from FoTM?

from what ive noticed the drop rates were lowered and they added ascended recipes for breathers thus kinda diluting the drop chance even more.

ive checked near enough every vendor in dragons stand all they sell are the usual salvage kits and a second tab where you can get the machetes for the pods i was thinking of running alts into the story but the issue is surly the chests will be locked for the class so ranger can only pick medium ele light and guard heavy. i dont know whats happens after you kill the mouth other than the rewards.

most likely a question alot of people are asking in the forums about how to get this armor set ingame, i know afew ways (i think) to get this set. Im posting this topic to ask if anyone else knows any other way other than the ways im about to post on how to aquire the chests.

1. the ‘rare’ noxious pods that you can find around dragons stand that require a machete to open.

2. dragons stand map bonus from doing events

3. the mouth of mordremoth(not my favorite event atm due to people not fully understanding it and what to do)

4. apparently you get a chest from your personal story

Any plans to fix sword auto attack?

in Ranger

Posted by: NOIP.1208

NOIP.1208

There isn’t a problem with the sword. Working as intended. Take the step to master this weapon as is. Whether there is or isn’t a change to the way this works you will be better for it.

My keyboard won’t, though. Is it really too much to ask to be able to use a weapon without mashing the 1 key constantly?

Fellows like you need to stop resisting quality of life changes just because you think you’re a better player for being able to compensate for a glaring design flaw in how the game is coded. This problem has been persistent for three years because of it.

this has been in gw2 since i can remember and its meant to be a thing. until you are dead you can command your pet. i dont see any issue with it plus having no access to commanding your pet just leaves you with a static AI till you can use lick wounds for it to help res you. it helps since you can use the f3 key to call back your pet to you so when lick wounds is off cd saves time having your pet run to you and possibly dragging a boss onto your head.

sounds like you dont like getting feared by the wolfs f2 when you’re trying to stomp if its a problem pop a stab skill and there problem solved

mounts arent needed in gw2. one reason is obvious and thats the waypoint system. maps in gw2 arent like one in tera or WoW where a mount is practically needed to get around the map. gw2 maps are seperated into medium size instances which take about 4/5 mins to run to one side or the other.

capes worked in gw1 due to the fact we could only play as a human race in gw2 we have charr and we all know if they made capes and a charr had one people would moan about the tail clipping through it

I’d say the tail isn’t the issue.

How to drape it over a hunchback is the issue…

you make me want to make a charr and call him quasimodo then i remember i hate charr. :P

“Hey ele, are you zerker?” -“Yup” -“Can you ping your weapons please?” -“[Incinerator][Incinerator]”. The group started clamoring “So, you want us to ping our stuff huh?”, “#DungeonRunSeriousBusiness”, “Why asking for zerker when you play ranger…”. By then, I calmly told them “How’s about you all check out her weapons before flaming me? Her legendary doesn’t even have any selected stats and her transmuted one is actually from TA and not zerker… Excuse me for asking people to respect my LFG!”. It

you do know that items with selected stats like legendaries dont show the current stats they are using right? it only shows sigils

after they changed we heal as one it unequipped on my ranger so i had to equip it again. this could be the problem. like others have said try adding some hero points and unlock a new heal ability might unlock it again. if not drop a ticket to support and see if they can fix it for you.

hi guys been watching this forum for awhile but didnt have the guts to post anything till now. i recently got hold of the light of dwayna recipe which im going to use on my ele.
the only problem im having is charged cores and damask. i would prefer cores over damask due to the fact damask is very expensive atm and i wouldnt feel happy knowing someone bought me a bolt worth 18g. i will try to gift in return after my backpiece is made. thanks :S

update:

thanks to someones kind donation of cores im currently sitting on 5 cores(transmuting them tonight and 1 lodestone from fractals) which means altogether i need 7 more charged cores. and again thanks to the kind person who donated them i’ll be sure to drop something nice to you during halloween

thank you for the donations i no longer need charged cores or lodestones thanks for the help guys ill return the favour after its amde i will keep you updated

Guardian vs Warrior vs Ranger

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: NOIP.1208

NOIP.1208

look at it this way.

guard is support/semi tank (depends on build)
warrior is upfront dps aka melee
ranger is pet control and dps/ support (spirits healing spring pet condi clean etc)

guard is good at taking hits cc’ing bosses and generally keeping their team alive in dungeons and basic pve content. you have access (till hot) scepter staff hammer shield 1 handed sword mace greatsword focus and torch.

warriors like i mentioned are kinda frontline dps but can also do a good job at support if you run phalanx/strength. they have access to greatsword axe 1 handed sword longbow rifle shield warhorn and hammer(i know nothing of warrior since i hardly play the class so feel free to add anything)

rangers are well ok currently i guess..(ranger main) they are a dps but can also give good support abilities in the terms of their spirits, pets, traits and healing spring. they have access to longbow shortbow dagger axe 1 handed sword torch warhorn and greatsword.

i didnt want to go into much detail but if you want me to i can and im sure everyone else can give you a basic guide on what each class is like.

Please dont hate me

my pug life story.. oh where to begin.

yesterday i decided to pug into a level 19 fractal (possibly my 4th time pugging solo) it went rather well finished in under 40 mins no real problems. it gave me hope and might change my mind on joining LFG groups. i was wrong checking the fractal LFG for a 29, i found one. they were on their 3rd fractal i thought oh boy just my luck!. so i joined said hi and warped in. hammer fractal no worries its fine the ad did read and i quote ‘fractal lvl 29 3rd exp’ at the 2 seal rotation so i run up the beams etc to find to my fear the first seal had the chanter spawns fun. so i pop speed run thought and drop a static field (skill 5) to stun them and run to them stacking the other seal. i then noticed both seals were untouched. so i pulled the chanters run back pick up hammer get a stack hit seal run back. drop hammer. mesmer picks it up runs straight to the seal and starts spamming skill 1.. i tell him to come back he drops hammer necro picks it up gets a stack runs to seal i just hit and hits it runs back..thief then grabs hammer runs to seal spams skill 1 dies and relogs. so i then typed that me and the guard are the only ones to use hammer (to save mine and the guards sanity) complete seals np after that.
the boss went fine kill chanters then started the boss. boss drops hammer. i go to pick it up but im too slow necro picks up hammer gets a stack runs to seal before we can even attack the other chanters necro hits seal. everyone gets stunned after stuns finishes both mesmer and thief die me and the guard killed the chanters but then had to ress both the thief and mesmer while necro ‘tries’ to keep boss off us. 2nd hammer drop from the boss guard picks up hammer gets a stack and drops the hammer before anyone knew we killed all the chanters (my bad for not seeing sooner) so we had to wait for the spawn to get a stack then kill off the adds after the hit. after that i made sure i had the hammer after every drop. proceeded with rest of the fractal got jade finished it with me and guard due to necro switching to his ranger who had no AR and thief and mesmer dying all the time. ‘fun’

like alot of people are saying if you really want the legendary you will get it, been playing gw2 for about a year and finished my 5th and last (for now). end of the day you dont need to grind for it you can do other bits and bobs. the only grinding bits are the t6 and the dungeon gift. they are just very expensive

Perpetuating the Stereotype

in Ranger

Posted by: NOIP.1208

NOIP.1208

right.

Allow me to shed some light onto the issues and the lack of pride for us ranger players.

ranger has been a subject to alot of hate and flaws since release of this game 3 years ago. more and more people hate rangers, ive gone into dungeons with people via lfg and get kicked just because of the pure fact im a ranger. this will make some people say oh why dont you just get a guild etc.. i have. the bad rangers the ones who use lb while in melee or the ones who use PBS on champs (alot of the time) when the champ isnt either attacking them or doing something to make PBS stop the champ from doing something like healing or attacking give us good/decent ranger such a bad name to the point where the good ones get shunned and kicked from dungeons/fractals. i just think we complain because we are sick of being subpar with nothing to make use different other than a pet whose Ai might i add is pretty bad (should be getting a new one in HOT). dps ele and thief do it better rangers dont bring alot into parties other than a healing spring(if it wants to work) a prec buff which is okay but you need to be pretty close to get the benefit. if druid is amazing rangers will have faith again but till the release of it and a beta test its all smoke on the water for us rangers.

feel free to moan at me for saying this but this is just my opinion and others opinions on rangers. also you’re free to expand on any of my ramblings/points

Looking for Guild (EU)

in Looking for...

Posted by: NOIP.1208

NOIP.1208

Hi my names NOIP but im mostly known for my ranger name Alvorian (or Alvo for short).

i’m a 19 year old english semi hard-core player who is looking for a guild on the FSP side of gw2.(its just so i don’t have to move servers etc and miss out on doing some WvW with buddies)

Im mainly a PvE player but i do tend to hop into PvP now and then.

i have a fair amount of experience in dungeons and fractals (not gonna try to blow my own trumpet).

things i’m looking for in a guild

a friendly talkative bunch of people (im a shy person so if you have TS i’ll most likely not talk for awhile)

a active guild (im sure no one likes a semi dead/quiet guild )

things i don’t want in a guild

Elitists (yes i know we all hate them)

a guild only for english people. (diversity is good )

first forum post in general about guilds (since i got invited to a guild when first started playing gw2 via a friend)

If any additional information is needed feel free to whisper me,(don’t be alarmed if i don’t answer straight away i do what any good soul would do and AFK in LA)

cheers

Cele Ranger For HoT

in Ranger

Posted by: NOIP.1208

NOIP.1208

im happy to see i wasnt the only one thinking of cele on ranger. since the hints of druid looking like a support elite spec for rangers makes me want to switch but i was worried i’d get hammered by the zerker only meta supporters. switching is alot easier now aswell since they made it possible to change ascended gear at the forge. the major issue about cele is you drop quite abit of offensive stats for abit of everything (nothing wrong with that since you get more defense in return). just if you plan on joining some dungeons most people (for some odd reason) like you to link your armor etc and if its not say zerker or something that gives some sort of high power or prec stats usually involves with you getting kicked. so my opinion is wait till we know more about HOT you never know they might change ranger abit.
