Guild Wars 2

I’m not sure why you would willingly waste your own time writing useless, cryptic information on this board, Revelations. Either say what you are going to say clearly and concisely so people can understand it, or don’t say it at all. All it seems like to me is that you are trying to make yourself “look cool on the internet”, which comes off as very childish.

Kylia has basically covered the pros and cons to each method, and I find MI’s reliability to be more useful than the gimmicky-ness of a 3 hit chain, and block.

The title is your way of showing that you have map completion on your account. The star is there to show that that specific character completed world exploration. If you don’t want to do completion on another character, just have them equip the title.

Any servers with Grenth open now?

I’m the kind of person that love playing glass cannon in pretty much any game I play. So, while I’m really liking the d/d elementalist build variation I’m using, there are alot of times when I feel my damage output is a pretty low. I was thinking of replacing my weapons and trinkets with berserker instead of cleric, to get play a more glassy, harder hitting d/d ele, and keeping my soldiers armor to have some semblance of survivability. If anyone who has tried this, share their experiences with it? Or if anyone has a better gear spread for more damage while keeping a bit of survivability please share that as well, I would be eager to get some feedback on this plan. I running on masterworks right now, and would really like to get some feedback before I make the jump to exotics on this character.

The two builds I usually swap between are 0/15/0/25/30 or 10/15/0/25/20, depending on my mood.

Thanks in advance.

Great build Fay! Mantras have always looked pretty interesting to me, so I may have to give this a shot, when I can collect the gear!

I do have a slightly off-topic question though: Earlier you were discussing Mantra of Recovery, and I was wondering if it was worth using even with no traits into mantras, in comparison to our other heals?

Fractals? Glass Cannon. You really, REALLY don’t want to get hit whatever your defensive stats are, so might as well forgo defensive stats altogether in favor of pure offense.

First off, you’re lucky you’re not in my boat: With this being my first MMO, and me playing the Mesmer to 80, all of the other classes put me to sleep in this game! I now have the opposite problem you do; I can’t find a decent class to play with after my mesmer!

But on to your questions:
1. If you’re at a low level, there really isn’t much you can do about movement speeds. Later on, you will get access to Runes of the Centaur, and they are very good at keeping you in swiftness at all times. Early on though, it’s just Focus and Blink (Take the time now to learn how to target Blink’s maximum distance quickly! Important skill at higher level play).

2. Your AoE’s come from you shatters, specifically Mind Wrack and Cry of Frustration. This is why everyone says the class opens up at 40, Deceptive Evasion becomes available, and that make generating clones for Shatters WAY easier. Honestly, I was content with getting Gold level particiaption in DE for max Experience, since most of my upgrades were dropping regularly from other enemies or the Trading Post.

3. First thing you need to do is dump the Scepter, it’s really only useful on confusion/condition builds. Early on, I would tell you to get a Greatsword, since you’ll probably be using Power/Precision gear. Use iBeserker for the cripple to keep them away, Mirror Blade for an easy Clone generated next to them, while Spatial Surging them from far away. I would pick up a sword as well, besides being extremely good for boon stripping (Skale used to give me a hard time without it), you have invulnerability on a super short cooldown.

All in all, my progression was I played with the Greatsword/Sword and Focus up ’till 50, them switched to a confusion/condition build all the way ’till 80, and then had enough gold saved up to buy a full set of Berserker gear with Staff, Sword, and Focus.

Good luck!

I’m level 26 now, and I was what spec should I be looking at if I want to use these two weapons, so I could start building for it now? I have 10 points in Dueling, and was trying to shoot for the image on dodge ability, and I have Illusions at 6, since it seems to have good effects. I shatter a lot when I play, but I also use phantasms when appropriate. I typically let them get one or two attacks off, and then detonate them with my clones.
