Is it too hard? Respect the awesome work

For me SAB W2 isn’t as much hard as it is alil on the long side but I think that’s mainly cause everyone is new and still trying to figure out what to do and how trap mechanics work. But I wonder how people will feel if they do World 2 again after they know all the mechanics and where to go. I hope SAB doesn’t get a big nerf though cause I like all the challenges in it though them assassins are a pain lol.
The arrow darts did throw me off at 1st because I didn’t see them and didn’t expect to get 1shotted by them but that’s all the past now because I know what to look for now so at the 1st sign of death I can now warn my party about what to look for when they turn thru World 2.
As more people do World 2 the easier it will be to go thru it and eventually enough people will know what to do and how to avoid it that any new players shouldn’t die as much as the 1st time players did (like spending 2hrs at the giant waterfall without realizing u can jump thru a portion of it…). I say give it a few days if ur having trouble and wait for all them YouTube vids/walkthrough guides to help u through.
As for coin issues I didn’t have to many problems with it, I had 5 free they gave +3 from world 1. so by the time I got to world 2 zone 3 I was at 1 coin lol. lots of deaths but most of it on stupid stuff or I wasn’t paying attention to arrows.
Now for some Pro Tips for World 2 (Mainly My suggestions :P) :
1. Bring a Party with u—-More people with u, the more likely it is that 1 of ur party members will reach the checkpoint. Also helps when trying to figure out where traps/puzzles are because 5 heads are better than 1. ALSO u can learn from ur party members mistakes. When they die u just learned something new without having to die
.
2. Slingshot is very handy— Take some time to get the slingshot to snipe some of the mobs that are in ur way. Aiming it isn’t the best thing in the world but it does help.
3. Walkthroughs/Guides will be online at some point— If ur really having trouble with it there will be vids and guides on this stuff soon (even for tribulation mode) so u can always check those out and guide ur way thru if u cant get thru it.
4. Farm World 1 to get baubles— World 1 is easy enough to solo on normal that u can almost just speed run it on ur character and alts to get baubles for things like shovel and slingshot. Also easy so u can buy coins for those times u die.
5. Make sure to get the 500 bauble Bag in World 1 Z3—- I wish I could tell u where exactly it is with pics or a vid but Google it and im sure u’ll find it cause nothing sucks more than having 250 baubles and un able to get more.
Wrote a lot more than I thought lol. Just some thoughts about SAB W2. Best way to get thru it is to stay informed and one u remember it im sure ur 2nd and 3rd play through will be easy and eventually u’ll see people doing World 2 speed runs lol
That is amazing! Congrats you crazy people!

Wow grats. You crazy!

Finally Finally made it to the very top(Im Avatar Overdrive of SoR) and decided to share some pics of the top. Not much view cause of the invisible wall but still took some tries to get here so enjoy the view. Also a Super huge thx to Assistant Relena because def wouldn’t have made it to to very top without her help. Also want to thank everyone that came especially the Mesmers on SoR for coming to port at different parts.

BTW i didnt mean to write a book on here lol i hope its not to much reading :P OH ALSO THIS IS A PURE PVE BUILD ONLY
http://gw2skills.net/editor/en/?fgEQNAR7dlwzqqHVTkGaNJh5D9+MDovcUKwu3JVQ1A
This is my main set up for dungeons and regular PVE content. My weapon sets mainly are GS and Sceptor/Focus Tho i switch weapons alot for different reasons and depending on the situation such as if i was fighting a boss i would probably switch the GS to a Staff. Though if i wanted to go melee i would use Sword/Sword combo.
My Utilities shown are my dungeon utilities which i use to block range atks and cure allies status as well as removing boons from enemies. then i use Mantra of Resolve just for myself tho i might substitute that for Arcane Thievery if i’m fighting a boss that uses alot of boons.
Now my traits center around a Phantasmal build where i mainly focus on having 3 if possible or atleast 2 phantasms and 1 clone out during a fight. To sum up my build, my Phantasms do 30% more dmg, they have retaliation and also give regen to nearby allies(even can give regen to each other if they are close by which is nice). My Focus skills reflect which is AMAZING in dungeons and in any fights where there are alot of projectiles because warden by himself would just block the atks but with Warden’s Feedback he can take out powerful enemies without taking dmg. Also Temporal Curtain reflects projectiles which is also helpful. Now back to the regen, i also get regen when my health goes below 75% which then gives me Protection from Illusionary Membrane and since my phantasms also give me regen i can get protection each time they give me regen. All my Illusion skills have -20% recharge which is handy(and with Warden’s Feedback my Warden has -40% recharge). now shatter inflicting confusion is something i only use if i have a scepter out to stack with confusing images.
Now there are traits that specifically buff me which Compounding Power gives me 3% more dmg for each illusion i have out while Illusionary Defense gives me 3% reduced dmg for each illusion out which also includes clones so for the tiems when my phantasms are on CD i can still do out more dmg and take reduce dmg. and then last i have Mender’s Purity which removes a condtion when i heal which i use becuase it seems like in higher area’s im always under a condition and its amazing because it removes the condition before u heal so it can nullify the effects of poison.
As far as armor stats go i have gone with Power/Vit/Condition as my set up on my armor. idk if its the ideal but it gives me alil bit of everything for how i like my build and vit is nice to have which gives me a nice amount of HP.
As far as actual combat goes outside of dungeons i normally dont have a strategy when it comes to using weapon skills besides summoning my phantams so i do end up switching weapons alot during combat tho if i have focus equiped i usualy put warden on any range atkers 1st then let him get the aggro and solo those enemies while i take out any melee enemies. For dungeons i mostly play offensive support. i try to make sure my team is safe while removing conditions while i can and i also take care of range enemies and remove and control boons on enemies. Mesmers are very versatile in combat.
I love my build, keeps me alive, does decent dmg and thats all that matters to me atleast. i dont think my build is very popular cause of the few mesmers i do actually talk to all mention that my build probably isnt effective cause phantams die quickly but u’d be surprised how much dmg a clone and phantasm can take from regular enemies. Keeps me active atleast.
Here’s my Mesmer. im sure a few people have seen me around(im Avatar Overdrive) in Darkhaven or in overflow around AC dungeon or just around in general or even in chat. LOVE LOVE LOVE my mesmer
