Guild Wars 2

I wish they would add more ranged instead of melee. Like Bow for so we could have an Arcane Archer type.

I for one hope its the Longbow, but since we already have a conjure, maybe shortbow.

It would be cool to have different elemental skills with attunements ala Arcane Archer.

Simple solution would be to limit the distance you are required to be from the event in order to get credit, no matter how much or how little participation is given. And that distance should be `not far.`

I am surprised this wasnt implemented from the get-go tbh.

Are there any `build` sites out there that let you toy around with different builds that include armor and PvE jewelry?

Sites like Gw2skills.net, GW2 Codex, and Into the Mists are great, however all of them only include PvP jewelry options.

Keep in mind that some people may want to `rush` to 80 b/c theyve already leveled 3 other toons and there is nothing left to explore that you havent already seen…

I took my time leveling my Ele to 80, (and enjoyed every minute of it) getting 100% each map as I went. But for any other toons I make, I would rather find a quicker way then doing the same thing again, or 2 additional times for that matter…

Calae.1738:

Monk runes? 15% boon duration give you 1 or 2 seconds at most?

I believe you can stack 3 diff. major rune sets that have +% boon duration. When you add them all up its a significant boon duration increase time.

Would it be good for a WvW (Staff) Elementalist?

Zenyatoo.4059:

actually im curious. If someone stacked all the “all stat” items would they eventually become far better than normal?

6x divinity
1x Triforge
1x Solaria
1x Lunia
1x Ancient karka shell

Maybe having only slightly more stats isnt worth it. But having many more stats, even if they are spread out more…

Well, with those items, it would give you +205 to all stats and +30% crit dmg. (still one open jewelry slot as well) So I guess you would compare that to other Rune sets. Not bad imo if you want an all around build.

Wow, thanks for the tip! That is awesome!

Why didn’t I think of that?? :p

I wish once a dye is used, it covers characters account wide. I don’t really see why it doesn’t tbh.

Dolan.3071:

Wiki is always right. But +10 is nothing, absolutely nothing.

But, it’s really +60 to all stats with all 6 runes. Add in the fact its +12% crit. dmg. as well… so, a little more than “nothing.”

Valandil Dragonhart.2371:

Any vista… excluding the centaur areas, those are plain ugly. I have over 400 screenies on my PC which I have on random 30sec rotation from all (most) of the vistas in the game.

Thats a good idea! I took a screenshot of every Vista getting 100% and was wondering what I could do with them. Screensaver it is!

someone needs to come up with a pvp locker type website so we can mix/match all possible armor combinations online if we arent in game

Now that would be cool!

crimsonvapor: “When applicable, the stats of the character that activated the finisher are used to calculate the combo effects. This is most relevant to combos that inflict damaging conditions, as well as the healing effects of Water Fields.”

Straight out of the wiki page linked at the top of the thread.

And yes I am sure you can use multiple finishers in the same field. I’ve done it with multiple blasts on my engi, multiple leaps on my mes and combinations of leaps whirls and blasts on my guardian. You probably just need to work on your timing.

Well if 6 seconds of healing rain isnt enough time to get off a utility blast finisher, I guess I should quit. Not sure why it didnt work, but I guess Ill have to do some more testing to figure out why my utility skill is broken

Are you sure you can use multiple finishers in the same combo field? I thought it was like this in beta but it was nerfed b/c it became way too powerful. Unless they changed it back?

Sometimes on my elementalist, when I throw down healing rain and try to use arcane wave for blast finisher, nothing happens b/c someone has already activated a finisher in that field before I could.

Or maybe each field can take one projectile, one blast, one jump…etc. and not two of the same kind?

Awesome! Finally a game with no gear treadmill….

LOLOLOLOL!!!! You’re a funny cat…

I didn’t know Rodney Dangerfield played GW2…

I got one!!! : “Wow…the Forums are sure lacking complainers over absolutely nothing!”

Haha. Im actually surprised no one mentioned it 6 pages in…though I dont mind the update, I figured Id throw it out there.

Yours is better though! B/c it is hilarious about the uproar over something so trivial.

Awesome! Finally a game with no gear treadmill….

Razamis.1062:

If you are dropping $50/month into this game when it isn’t needed, perhaps you should give some of that wasted money to charity.

I find it sick how some players can proudly boast how much they spend in the gem store. Like most players, I haven’t spent a dime in the gem store and never intend to.

Well, if it wasnt for these types of players spending this money, then you wouldnt have a game to play.

NZ Scyther.8675:

So many ways to get more might than that. I get 18 out of combat without any kind of might trait or rune and without using any staff cooldowns.

So, please, enlighten us then. I would love to open a combat sequence with 18 stacks of might — and add 10 of my own (actually 7, so i can save arcane wave) for a stack of 25 (think is max) instantly on the first attack.

None of what we described above requires any might traits you speak of. They are traits that benefit all attunments. It so happens, might is the boon you get when attuned to fire. You could do the same with any boon in any attunement depending on what you want to do.

Did they not also say that Legendary Gear will always be the highest statted equipment in the game and that in the future, all legendary gear, including the weapons now that are still the same stats as exotics will get a boost as the final stats available on any given equipment?

If that is the case, i would imagine that maybe they will upscale all current exotic gear to match the stats of ascended gear once it is implemented.

With Evasive Arcana, and Elemental Attunement in the Arcana tree and Arcane Wave as a utility skill , you can get a stack of 10 might instantly in the beginning of every fight. Heres what I do…

Open in Earth and start with Eruption —> quickly switch to Fire for 1 stack of Might (from attunement trait)--> use Fire 2 to put fire field over Eruption ( long eruption delay time allows you to get this off before the blast finisher from eruption occurs) this will add 3 stacks of might —> after you cast fire 2, run up to fire field and roll into field for another 3 might ---> and hit arcane wave as well after you roll in for another 3 might.

So 1 + 3 +3 +3 = 10 stacks of Might

Then hit Meteor Shower and watch things die all around you…haha.

I find it absolutely hilarious that people are crying over this new tier of items when it adds +2 to stats over Exotics. Yes people that is +2 in stats!

That is far from making Exotics inferior to the new armor tier… +2 in stats x6 armor pieces for a total of +12 is still a far cry from making Exotics no longer viable…

exelion.2369:

Could you be any more melodramatic? They are not adding a gear treadmill. Legendary is already a level of item quality in game. All they are doing is making Legendary the best of the best of the best (sir! If anyone gets this movie reference you get +10) and putting a level of gear between Exotic and Legendary.

You need to chill Tron.

That would be “Men in Black” of course!

On topic, why dont we just wait for the patch and find out before we all go insane over facts that arent even facts yet…

Has this been tested?

I could have sworn Ive misted (haha) on my Elementalist into a Rangers healing circle while downed, and when i went to self revive again with skill #4, i was getting an increased rate of revival.

I also checked to make sure no one was helping to revive me, though I could be mistaken!

Hmm, I shall try this.

Trying to get to Tarnished Coast as its the “unofficial RP server” and it -always- says full status…

I believe the saying goes:

The only stupid question is the one that is never asked.

I attempted to do a server transfer last night to the US “unofficial” RP server but the population said it was full.

My question is, how often do the ‘population status figures’ update to where I can keep checking until there’s room to actually do the transfer?

Hopefully it won’t be “full” forever….

Ehh, I figured as much…

Thanks for the quick reply!

Does it disband and you lose all progress? Or does everything transfer over, sans guildies of course unless they transfer as well. (Also assuming you are the leader…)

Thanks in advance!
