Guild Wars 2

The full bladed set does work nicely with the reaper hood. It’d be perfect with dark harvest too.

This is Hemlock Mandragora my main character.

Does Relentless Pursuit and the condition duration reduction of the Rune of Hoelbrak stack or does the higher reduction override the lower?

So I was trying to find a way to rehabilitate Dhuumfire and I think the Reaper’s Decimate Defenses, Reaper’s Onslaught and the ability to more effectively hit multiple enemies with Reaper shroud skill 1 might just make it possible. My understanding is that Dhuumfire isn’t necessarily bad just that a 50% bonus to crit chance or making shroud a stunbreak/stability buff is just much better.

I’m not some great theorycrafter and this is more of a rough idea of mitigating the need to take Death Perception by taking Decimate Defences and combining it with Rending Shroud and Unyielding Blast (and maybe Death Spiral) to stack vulnerability for the crit bonus. Reaper’s Onslaught helps to more rapidly stack burning and vulnerability. I’ve had some fun with it in pvp using a Rabid amulet and great sword with the Earth and Smouldering sigils.

Thieves are more of an annoyance than a threat to me. I’m a high hp high toughness minion master and use daggers. Skill wise I use Consume Conditions, Spectral Grasp, Bone Fiend, Shadow Fiend and Flesh Golem. Trait points are 20 Spite, 30 Death Magic and 20 Blood Magic. My traits are Spiteful Spirit, Training of the Master, Greater Marks, Minion Master, Flesh of the Master, Mark of Evasion and Vampiric Master or Quickening Thirst. Deathly Swarm and Shadow Fiend lets me blind them twice reducing their attack damage. With DS, siphon health and Consume Conditions I’m rather hard to kill. If they try to kite or run I have Dark Pact, Bone Fiend cripple and Rigor Mortis , Flesh Golem knock down, Spectral Grasp and Dark Path in DS to pin/slow/catch up with them.

I had a glance through the thread titles and didn’t see anything similar to this idea but I’d be surprised if this hasn’t been suggested before.

I think it would be a good idea to have an “upgrade donation box” in keeps and towers. A way that it could work is that people donate silver towards an upgrade and when the necessary amount is reached that upgrade is purchased. This way everyone can contribute regardless of individual wealth and not have to depend a single benefactor.

There could also be a list of player names and the amount donated by each individual to help build community.
