Any good EOTM ganking builds?

Hey – I’m actually a really bad thief player, but wanted to try a roaming/ganking thief build to learn. (I used to have a really bad computer so it made playing and positioning difficult to achieve on this specific class, but I have a new computer, and want to explore either just how bad I was, or if my computer kitteness had contributed to that!)

Any good tips, builds, anything showing me the art of assassinating players would be greatly appreciated!

Personally I would prefer for scepter to be our AoE tagging weapon. I’d like the projectile to be fast and do splash dmg, something like 40% of the dmg of the main target to 2-3 enemies within 180 radius of the original target.

I see the chain attack like this perhaps.

- First chain -MIND CRUSH – cause mania to surrounding enemies, causing 40% of the damage caused to your original target to 2 additional targets within 180 radius of the original target.
- Second chain -MIND SNAP – snap your enemies mind, causing 60% of the damage caused to your original target to 4 additional enemies within 180 radius of the original target.
- Third chain – MIND HAUNT – cause an illusion to spawn at the mesmers location that will immediately run at the target and shatter for 30% of the normal dmg shatter would do. While the shatter would do splash dmg when the illusion pops, the third chain attack itself would not splash. Depending on how effective this might be, it would be nice to have on shatter effects also propagate to this illusion.

The key thing here to make this successful would be to have a fast projectile, that can tag things.

Anybody else getting tired of being farmed..

All day long I am constantly going up against full premade teams that are 3-6 times the level of my team.

How is this matching system even remotely fair?

Weyland Yutani Corp (WYC) a Sea of Sorrows guild is seeking more members to make a permanent home. We are a small tightly nit community, that are looking to expand our membership. We do pretty much everything, dungeons, events, but we like wvw the most. We are striving to develop guerrilla warfare teams. Highly mobile, that don’t require a zerg to be successful.

If you are interested send an in game message to me or fortytwo.8406

RNG gating is a bad mechanic

This.

What bothers me most is not that its RNG, though it does bother me to some extent, because well why kitten are we getting tokens?

What bothers me most is that its a DAILY chance. I’ve done 17 runs now on two characters at level 10+, to get the chance for a ring. With absolutely NOTHING to show for it. Meanwhile other folks in my party have done it twice, and got ring every single time. I’ve put in more effort to get it, and have NOTHING to show for it. Zero, ziltch.

Seriously, I can only attempt to do this ONCE a day per a character. Its beyond stupid. I’m at the point now, instead of actually doing other things in the game just running the instance hoping I get a ring, and when I don’t I get disheartened by the path the game is going on, and just logout. I love this game, but not when progression is RNG based and not SKILL based. What happened ANET?

RNG... getting very old...

Think when he said T2 fractals he means Tier 2 – i.e. levels 10-19.
T1 – 1-9
T2 – 10-19
T3 – 20-29 etc

I have to agree that RNG on a progression item takes me back to running raids on another game attempting to gear up new guild members. It’s a poor mechanic that I thought had been dropped with the introduction of tokens.

This is exactly what I was saying. Thank you for putting it more eloquently.

I’m at the point where, doing things for some RNG trigger to get any further progression is becoming tedious and frankly, ruining my experience of the game.

I spent 150g on the MF trying to get a precursor, got absolutely nothing out of it. And I did this before mats when up in price, so trust I’ve done a lot of combinations in there.

Now I’m doing T2 Fotm, done the daily 5 times now, and haven’t got a ring, meanwhile I’m explaining mechanics, and holding people’s hand in there, showing them the ropes, and they seem to get rewards. I was under the impression RNG was a thing of the past, but it seems to have snuck in this game.

I don’t want free loots. Hell make me pay 5000 fractal tokens, at least let me see my progress. As it stands, I’ve been completely disheartened by the RNG mechanics in game as of late.

Clock Tower Groups Need to be SMALLER

Just tried this about 30 times… every time I have died, its because I couldn’t see what was in front of me. I could learn where things are, if I could SEE them, but as it stands, norn and charr player models ruin this entirely for me. Everybody was saying the same thing, norn and charr models are to big and you can’t see where the hell you are jumping.

Its sad because, its not norn and charr players faults, they don’t deserve to get the brunt of a lot of hatred right now in the jumping puzzle. Eventually people just started leaving the overflow hoping to get one where there was no norn and charr players. This oversight is incredibly negative.

Advice on sPVP D/D ele

To give you some help with -
1.) I swapped my f1, f2, f3, f4 key to z,x,c,v – its much more intuitive for me. a and d have become strafe left and right respectively (i see no point in having turn left and right, as I turn with my mouse). R is my heal. Q, E, and Middle Mouse Button are my utilities. Elite skill whatever floats your boat.

Just adapt the keyboard to your hands and what makes sense to you. Don’t stick with the default setup if you are not forced to!

If you need any other help you can always message me in game, I only periodically visit the forums.

Hope that helps!

Malchor Leap-Skill Point Bugged

On Dragonbrand, this SP has been bugged for 7 days now… Do we really have to wait till maintenance and then scramble when the servers come back, hoping to get this skill point? 7 days is far, far, too long. I don’t understand the difficulty in fixing this. Add a script that if the sp location hasn’t been acquired by a player in the past hour or 30 minutes to make it respawn. Yeah its a bandaid solution, but these bugs seriously impact on character progression.
