Guild Wars 2

Bump,

How come this was ignored in the latest update and patches?

Good to know!
Thanks

Superior Rune of Tormenting Is this working for you?

It doesn’t make any difference on Scepter skill #3 Illusionary Counter

It will cast torment but with these runes, it doesn’t change the base 8 secs

But strangely Koi Cake does change it instead and other conditions too. The 8 secs jumps to 11+ secs

Or is it a different kind of torment?

Hey guys,

lets put all our good info here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Phantasmal-Warden-bugs-post-patch/first#post3286177

I am surprise they didn’t fix this in the latest patch yesterday.

Please roll back the changes to Phantasmal Warden.

It is not working as intended. It is broken.

All it does is, it stands there or goes on a running marathon. So the Focus skill number 5 is useless.

Thanks!

I was too late to edit. I just saw the vid too.

I saw a youtube video (this month) where a player performed a double dodge “in one shot” without using endurance.

Is there a skill that dodges too?

Or anyone knows how to do a double dodge?

The only dodges I know are:
-Normal Dodge
-Jump Dodge

Thanks!

Hey Guys,

I started playing again WvW but did distortion change ?

I noticed that I am taking damaged, getting knocked down, receiving conditions when my distortion is still active. I swore I saw siege dmg ignore my distortions too.

Usually I see invulnerability with 4 secs of distortion.

Thanks!

Do you think it is worth buying an AMD r9 290 for world vs world?

I am still gaming on an old non-reference 5850, all on the lowest settings.

Anyone planning to buy one or running on a R9 290x?

Thanks!

I love the “Mimic” skill but not the primary function. I love the secondary function of Mimic.

I use it to block attacks and move around the battle field. Very powerful in a zerg wvw situation. The only problem with the secondary function is it doesn’t block all attacks.

There are a few skills that causes the mesmer to fall down and the mimic is cancelled.

Maybe Mimic should be converted to a block skill, and block all incoming attacks.
And the absorb skill should absorb both projectiles and attacks. And maybe a trait that extends the amount of time it blocks.

I wish I had a video to show how amazing it is when 20+ enemies slapping the Mimic Shield. So much damaged being blocked.

Solstice.1097:

They better not start the season with KN/HoD/FC

If they do that, we might all find out quickly who’s going to win season 1. It’s far more interesting right now that we don’t know! (unlike every other league)

Yes, there appears to be a lot of uncertainty in the Bronze League. I personally feel this is the Gold League. I feel every server have an equal change to win. I can’t think of any blow outs.

Good Luck to all!

If I see a thief go stealth mode often, then I fall back on stealth traps.

Trinkets might be available from “Temple of Melandru” but I cannot confirm. It is not open on my server.

So which vendor sells dire? or is it crafted?

Thanks!

Edit:

Hmm, so far found one vendor “Crucible of Eternity” dungeon . The last set on the bottom of the list.

Dire Armor and weapons.

For any of you guys experiencing this issue, could you please submit a technical support ticket so that our team can look into this issue a bit further? The thread below should detail contacting support:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/tech/How-to-Submit-a-Technical-Support-Ticket-2/first#post3957

I filled out a ticket and attached a Game Advisor file then supports trolls me, by telling me to give them a Game Advisor report before they can help. (ticket number 130808-000104)

I have 2 Vertex 4 sdd’s in Raid 0 the drives are not even close to being full and in perfect health.

Update Edit I got reply from support actually helping me this time.

Did they provided a fix?

I noticed the patch reset the graphic settings.

I am also running ssds but in raid 0 mode.

It was 2-3secs but now it is 14-15 secs too.

So how are these unlocked? Is it only through PvP? or PvE and WvW?

Anyone knows? The mad king and cow finisher sounds interesting.

The game loves CPU power, so overclocking would be a good start. I would recommend waiting out on GPUs till Q4 of this year. I read AMD will release new models. It might be their next gen cards.

You should be pretty high. What is your monitor resolution and how many monitors?

This an old post of mine but you should be higher than me in FPS

My build is with an ATI 5850 non reference model with 1GB of VRAM. 1080p Wide Monitor. CCC settings set to performance and GW2 settings mostly set to low. WVW culling set high, and LOD set medium.

In super, extra, large massive zerg battles, I dip into the 10-14 fps. In medium zerg battles, around 30-45 fps. Small battles, about 70 and up. Only using around 150+300 MB of VRAM.

I am using old AMD Drivers 11.x Worlds v Worlds is CPU heavy.

So either try adjusting Nvidia settings or a newer driver, or an older driver.

Yes, just copy the folder where you installed it on your old pc. Dump it in a new location on your new pc. Create a shortcut to the gw2.exe file on your desktop.

That is how I play on my portable external drive on a different system.

It is a Food buff. My guest it is the food sold by the merchant. I am surprise it is allowed inside of Dragon bash

I am still trying to find a balance with Toughness and Vitality. I have low HP in WvW.

About 16432 HP with WvW HP Bonus.

Pic of my current gear with a food buff ( Simple Sharpening Stone).

problem is having a few dedicated folks, and attacking blindly.

use rangers and lay down traps around the door, and behind door. Use mesmer with “into the void”, Use ele and cast aoe. Or spam auto skill 1 anywhere. Or any knock backs.

setup arrow cart, and keep auto “skill 2” all day. Throw in Leg Specialist for added bonus.

If ya known the theif’s routine, ya might actually plant a nice trap.

Jade quarry still open 12PM est time. Thanks guys!

any na servers open?

I used a lot of em in Fractals. Mostly went with the following during boss battles

Mortar Seed Turret – Red Mortar or Yellow Mortar
Scale Venom
Depleted Power Crystal
Slayer Potions

I had these all up in addition to Oils and Food. The setup doesn’t work anymore

do you really need more people…? really?

Im just jelly of your free xfers, gluck!
But yeah with the culling gone, we can no see the extent of the battle lol! awesome fights yesterday

Is that a staff? What item is it? Thanks!

…Now I must find more epic sound tracks

btw, how is stealth now?

I approve this message! Imagine the battles without culling

DBR.9876:

Umm.. Wow! That culling fix is amazing!

Whoa! What are your settings, and PC config DBR?

Thanks!

Something is wrong, i don’t know if it is hacking. I saw it too . Certain players from gom are some how invulnerable. Not all GOM, I just saw two.

They appear as a friendly but they are on the opposing team. You can’t attack them, kill them, or stop them. I have it all on video.

Even the keep lord was outside even thought the gate was closed.

“the unknowns” so far appear to be from a guild on gom. I don’t know if it is a server problem.

I do know that Sorrow furnace is currently experiencing the same bug but worse.

edit: see air response

ya guys should show it on youtube if possible.

I did not realize OH sword #4 is like Pistol #5. I was trying out your dual sword mesmer build, which is awesome.

I actually changed some tracks to my custom playlists to make it more epic.
I am playing more Audio Machine, Brand X, E S Posthumus tracks and other music too.

My boss battles feels so intense ! Will try to add a vid later.

So I logged in this morning and the client download an update. Did this fix these issues?

I wasn’t able to find any patch notes.

I haven’t played around a lot with upgrades but wanted to share my idea.

If an upgrade or upgrades were queued up, and the tower/keep is being attacked 2-3 mins later, there should be an option to cancel all upgrades for x amount of supplies.

So if 600 were drained, a player might be able to recover maybe… 400 supply after cancelling an upgrade/upgrades.

wow, sounds like a classic setup from a Hollywood movie.
The scene where the killer calls the victim’s cell phone.

I am from HoD and we had a queue just last night

The new setup appears to be one player to “call target” on the assassins. The earlier the call, the faster they die.

The rest will focus fire on assassins. Follow by spamming AOE skills to handle the add-ons, and trying to avoid knockback. The less add-ons on the ground, the easier to spot them assassins.

Another setup I have seen without warriors or guardians is:

One player plays call target, and stand on the large rock.
The rest uses long range weapons and sits on the small rock. The rest will focus fire on assassins.

Whoa, a 3rd round? Good luck all!

Hello Osicat,

You thread is very informative. Thank you for sharing your builds!

But I am confused about the armor but not the accessories. Which part is BK, V, or K? Is K always dody ,V are boots, and the rest BK?

Thanks!

Awesome info. Video very informative too!

Hi!
I just started playing WvW lately but I am trying to figure out tactics against a Thief’s stealth.

So far my standard game plan is to fill the area with plenty of illusions. Meanwhile, I will wait to dodge the first attack. If I notice the theif attacks the wrong target, I will try to cast moa morph as quickly as possible.

Otherwise, im pressing “nearest target” for stun but I can barely stop the theif from disappearing again lol.

What are your tactics?
