Guild Wars 2

You are not the only one. I can prove it is GW2. All I do is play the game (Sparkfly Fen and the personal story where you are sent into the future) and my GPU gets to 100 degrees Celsius (according to Precision). I can tab out of the game and my GPU drops to 51 degrees. However, I ran in Eternal Battlegrounds tonight and had absolutely no problem. I am running 1650×1080 with FXAA, ultra distance, high details, high for the rest. I am turning off postprocessing and seeing if that helps.

My case is open with great airflow – that is not the issue. I have not had any other game that I have played cause this issue. I am using the latest Nvidia drivers for my Factory overclocked 465GTX. Hopefully AN will see this and help determine why this game is trying to melt my GPU.

At least for SoA, it does appear that the knockback radius is the same. I haven’t leveled my Norn enough yet to test the absorption. However, it is very misleading for other group members who think they are in my healing bubble but really are not. I have not tested other abilities yet, but I think I will just level the Norn to 80 and play it.

Thanks for those of you who provided some feedback. For those of us who play Guardians as a group player, this is a big deal. I mostly wanted to get this on the radar for Anet so they can fix it. I doubt it was intentional.

Red, most of the group I run with are ranged, so the cone won’t hit them either way. Also, if I am protecting my group, I have to block the mob’s attacks from hitting my group. I can’t do that if they are on the other side of the mob from me.

Cero, that seems to be my experience as well. If so, it is an interesting dynamic.

So I get reports about some Guardians and Warriors that can “keep aggro” or keep the mob focused on them. I can’t get this to happen for me no matter what I do. I know about the lack of holy trinity blahblahblah but I continually hear that some players can do this.

Anyone have an idea if this can be done or is just anecdotal?

Edit: forgot to include that I am 64 ATM with mostly +healing and vit with toughness where I can.

Also, if you buy it with karma, you can’t send it to another toon. This also applies to gathering tools and salvage kits. You can’t even use it on another one of your toons (which I disagree with).

I’ll have to try your setup. I can’t seem to keep aggro at all. Are your group members near you at all times? My groups seem to spread out in dungeons.

Hit box is not the same as radius of effect. It could just be the graphics, but the graphic display of the bubble is over twice as large. Also, there is no “radius” on the tooltip as there is for some other abilities.

Edit: I did a test with a guildmate to verify the radius was larger. I noticed this difference in size while watching a Guardian video of sPvP.

I was quite distraught after reaching level 60 and finding that my Asura Guardian is affected by his size. The only ability I could test with a low level Norn was the Shield of Absorption. The radius of the Norn was almost twice that of the Asura.

Anyone else notice this?
