Guild Wars 2

Shortbow, I want to shoot unicorns as a Mesmer! xD

Really wish ANet would show us love. I love my Mesmer, I really do, but it’s pretty difficult to enjoy these days. Nobody wants her on dungeon runs, I run Elementalist for that. My Mesmer just feels so weak.

Do you guys have a website?

I would also like to add we aren’t totally against leaving SoR if the offer is enticing enough. Or if a guild wouldn’t mind us guesting over for missions, etc. We are primarily focused on PvE content, and would like to remain so. Also, does anyone know if you can still access your personal guild bank if you go to a different server? Can you guest to the server your bank is on and use it?

Someone sent me a mail today, and I accidentally deleted it. If that was you, please re-send it. Sorry! I’m leveling an alt and used to getting mail from Caithe that I have to delete. >_<

Bumping this up

Hello, I am here to hopefully get a few options for my guild. A little background, my guild was once quite active. That activity seemed to die off when the big WvW left Sanctum of Rall. Other guilds and people followed. Members of my own guild decided to go to different servers with better WvW opportunities. We weren’t a hardcore WvW guild, but, when a server loses such a large player base in a short amount of time, it can affect us all. We have been recruiting heavily, and some have stayed, but some have left. It happens. With SoR being what it is now (a much smaller server then it once was), it’s hard to maintain the numbers we want and need. So I’ll cut to the chase.

We are looking for a medium to small sized guild for us to absorb into, or to absorb into us. There are requirements we have, as we have worked hard to build this guild. We have all missions unlocked, over 150k influence currently, and our own TS server and website. We need a guild that would be big enough to take at least 50-75 members, and we could take up to 300 people if a guild wanted to join us.

I want a positive gaming experience for my guild members, that’s why the other guild leader and I decided to do this. Nobody likes being in a guild with not a whole lot going on. If you are interested in combining with us, or having us combine with you, please PM or mail me in-game. Thank you!

Potluck Massacre [PLUM] was founded on Sanctum of Rall at launch. The guild has since changed leadership, but we haven’t changed our core values. We strive to be more then a guild to our members—we want to create a home. With that, we offer….

• All Guild Missions are unlocked and run weekly.
• We do frequent events with great prizes, and also a guild lottery. We recently gave away a precursor as a prize!
• All of our officers and many of our members are dungeon veterans and can help members complete them. We won’t carry you, but we will teach you and help you get better.
• We run FoTM regularly and will help members learn the different fractals and strategies.
• We have our own PvP room that we use for dailies and to practice builds. We also go in there to have fun and kill each other once in a while.
• We have our own website and TS3 server.
• Repping us 100% of the time in PvE is required, however, we have an exception. Many of us are also in another guild that we rep to kill Teq and Wurm. This is allowed, as we are not big enough (yet) to do this as a guild.
• It is required that our members be at least 18-years-old.

If you have any additional questions, please PM or mail me in-game (Vibrant Violet) or leave a reply here. Thank you!

It’s Michigan Comcast. Been happening to me, too. Everything else (Youtube, streaming, surfing the net) is fine.

My thief and engineer. Thief is wearing a mix of Strider’s and Viper’s armor with Priory boots and just some low level gloves I liked. Engineer is wearing Strider’s pieces with the Krytan chest and a few other mixed pieces.

Got mine after a few tries. It took me much, much longer to beat her last year….haha.

Right now I’m using Well of Corruption as a utility, and it’s doing pretty well. I’m running a condi build, also. The Well really helps, since this meta is so boon-heavy.

My power build is 6/2/0/0/6
VI X XII
V
II VIII XII

The condition build I was using was 0/6/4/0/4
II IX XII
V VII
II IX

The only issue I really have with my condition build (aside from it not being what it used to be) is Dark Path not being reliable at times. With my power build, I die pretty fast if I’m not careful. I don’t really want to play MM, I’m not a big fan of minions, really.

Hello Necro friends. I’ve been working on my Champion Phantom title, and doing it as mostly a power Necro. There are times it’s really tried my patience, though. I was doing Fearmancer a bit, too, but it doesn’t have the effect it used to, which made me sad. Anyway, what kind of builds are you guys having success with in solo queue? I have yet to try MM. I honestly don’t see a lot of MM in solo queue, so I figured it wasn’t the best route. Advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies! I’ll try these builds out, too, and see what I like best in the long run.

Hello, I’m just wondering what build most of you are having the best luck with in solo queue. I’m currently running Evilsnowflake’s Celestial build, and it’s working out well in most situations, but I feel I could do better. Maybe I’m not utilizing it well enough? Anyway, suggestions are welcome. I do mostly solo queue, sometimes team queue when my friends/guildies are online. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for this build! I love it!

Pawstruck.9708:

Yep I’m a thief. And this isn’t rock paper scissors, so one class shouldn’t be able to insta-kill another just because of class choice.

Apparently you need to learn your own class before you start QQing for nerfs to others. Bad thief is bad.

Should I consider a condi build instead? I want to be viable in team and solo queue, but have fun.

Thanks, I’ll give it a try!

I already tried Google, I can’t find an updated build. Sorry I asked, I guess.

Oh, I see what you did. -_-

Link doesn’t work, even when I copy and paste.

Hello, I’m getting back into my engineer, and I’m looking for a good build that uses the rifle. I like rifle for PvP, as I’ve tried p/s and p/p, but I still always go back to rifle. I’m just having a somewhat difficult time finding a good build. Been experimenting with a few, but I feel I could do better. I would take suggestions to other builds, though. Not looking for a bunker build, really, I’d like dps with some decent survivability. Thanks in advance!

It’s missed for me, too. I might just use something else until/if it’s fixed.

Yeah, it’s just one skill. Just run away, and continue to destroy them once you’re not a Moa anymore. Necros counter mesmers hard, as we usually lack condition removal in our PvP builds.

Unfortunately, staff is not very viable in a PvE setting. Same with a shatter build, at least for dungeons. I still use shatter when I’m open world roaming, because I do find it fun. It’s just too bad it’s not viable in a dungeon setting anymore. To run dungeons as a mesmer, you pretty much have to use sw/sw and sw/f, switching to GS if you need ranged.

Helseth used to run the GS/S shatter build. Mainhand sword is definitely not needed for shatter, it’s all about preference, really.

Potluck Massacre [PLUM] is a PvX guild on Sanctum of Rall, and we are currently recruiting. If you enjoy doing everything the game has to offer while having fun times with like-minded people, we are the guild for you! Some of our perks are…

*All guild mission are unlocked and done weekly (currently Sundays at 6:15PM server time)
*Constant guild buffs
*Veteran players with extensive dungeon, WvW, Fractals of the Mists, TPvP, and open world knowledge.
*Guild events with prizes (we have given away expensive weapon skins, gem cards, and more in the past.)
*Our own private TS server.
*A great community, and more!

We are an easy going guild, but do have a few rules, they are…

*You must be at least 18-years-old.
*We require new members to register on the guild website if they want to earn their “Verified” rank.
*Teamspeak is required for all guild missions, otherwise it’s optional.
*Potluck Massacre must be represented in all PvE content, with a few exceptions. These can be explained if you request information.
*Personal attacks and offensive language (such as racial slurs) are not tolerated. We all joke around (no, we don’t forbid swearing, we all do it xD), but anyone who takes it too far will have a discussion with an officer. If it happens again, removal from the guild will occur.

If you are interested or have any questions, please PM me or send me an in-game mail (Vibrant Violette.) You can also check us out at www.potluckmassacre.com. Thanks for reading, and hope to see you in-game as a [PLUM]!

Key farm, you’ll get crystals aplenty.

Swagger.1459:

“When you unlock a dye after the feature pack is released, all characters on your account will have unlimited access to that color.”

key word above is after.

from minor to major things, you folks sure do know how to push players closer to the door 1 patch at a time. there’s always a caveat, and that caveat usually requires even more grind time, cash or gems.

you guys and gals better make a good impression of things to come for professions and combat in this patch as well or you are dooming yourselves to be stuck with only players who enjoy virtual dress up.

If you had taken the time to watch the video included, you’d see he said all the dyes you have now will be available to all your characters, it’s just any dye you acquire AFTER the patch will be account bound instead of character bound.

I dyed some parts of the armor silver to try and give it a sort of “plated robes” look.

I play greatsword & sword/sword shatter, so I’m going for the whole battle-mage look.

What chest piece is that? I can’t figure it out. xD

It’s the PvE Masquerade chest piece. You can buy it off the TP.

After I posted my question, I realized that’s what it was. xD Thanks for the reply!

maxinion.8396:

Warden is the only one bugged outright. I find it usually bugs when you have some sort of slope or obstacles around you (which is quite often). If you have completely flat ground then it will function fine.

Don’t forget about the Harpy fractal. You can be right up on the Harpy, and the iWarden still will just stand there. -_-

Short answer; no. The most broken one is the iWarden, it won’t attack about half of the time. It just stands there until it dies.

I have noticed some mesmers use scepter for ranged fights over GS. Is it really better? I will admit, outside of PvP, I haven’t used scepter much. Should I switch to that for dungeons/fotm over using GS? I run a phantasm build (typical s/s and s/f except for when I need ranged.)

An Illusionary Warden that worked all the time instead of half the time.

Third night in a row. What is going on with the game lately? The past three nights it’s been around the same time….

Thanks for the advice, everyone. I’ll see what I like better. Right now I’m leaning toward d/p.

Which would you say is best for solo queue; d/p or s/p?

Hello! To start, I had a thief about a year ago, and deleted her because I wasn’t using her much and wanted a different race (she was norn, along with most of my characters at that time). I wanted more variety in my toons. Anyway, I have rerolled my thief, and I am now getting back into PvP with her. I just got my Champion Illusionist, so I’m going to focus on Champion Shadow. I’m running D/P and SB with 10/30/0/0/30 (III, III VI XI, V VII XII), Withdraw, Infiltrator’s Signet, Shadow Refuge, Shadowstep, and Basilisk Venom. I am getting pretty good at it, but was wondering if there are other builds to try, too. Is S/P any good? I see it on occasion. I like to play around with different builds until I find one I like. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

Mystic.5934:

I would never of bought this pick had I known a functionally better one was going to be released. That’s the problem with vertical progression, and what I previously loved about GW2. However, if we get to upgrade lesser picks for free, then it’s not really progression but rather replacing – like changing the stats of an item type to balance it.

fair warning: I’ll be requesting this same refund again if you ever release a pick that is better than the watchwork pick.

Do you ask for refunds on every item you own that currently has a new version? Better complain about your computer, because I guarantee you there are newer, better ones out there. Same with your cell phone, car, television, you get the idea. So good luck.

So I guess those of you complaining about the pick also complain about other items you own that have new upgrades, right? “I just bought this car 2 years ago, and you’re telling me a better, newer model is available! I demand a refund!,” is essentially what you’re saying. If you want the new pick so bad, buy it, and stop whining on the forums about it. Also, it’s not “pay to win”, you can use gold to buy it, so ANYONE can obtain this item.

Shakkara.2641:

XacTactX summarized it as follows:

These are the main reasons why people dislike the new pick:

1. P2W giving out free crafting materials, this is more than the 0c cost per gather on infinite tools.
2. Gear treadmill for infinite gathering items that cost real $$$.
3. No prior warning about having old gathering tools made obsolete.

Not much more to add. Eagerly awaiting Anet reply on this situation.

All I see is “wah wah wah”. The old tools are not obsolete by any means, they are still unlimited gathering tools, they still have a purpose. Getting some Watchwork Sprockets from the new pick is hardly game-breaking. They’re worth what, a few copper a piece? The price will only drop as more people gather them with the new pick, it’s called supply and demand. If you check the spidy, they are dropping in price fast. These will most likely be the new Silk Cloth; in great supply without much demand. Oh, and before you argue, “Well there are recipes that require these,” yeah, there are plenty of recipes that require Silk, too, but it still was worthless until recently.

Thank you! Been practicing with grenades in PvE for now, as I just hit 80 on my engineer and pretty much used flame thrower the entire time. So, I’m getting used to everything else yet.

TheGuy.3568:

Just because it is popular doesn’t mean it should be nerfed. There are a good number of reasons to nerf some select warrior traits and skills, but being a heavily played class has nothing to do with it.

No, being OP is why they need a nerf. Healing signet is one example, and no, the 8% nerf they are supposedly getting is nothing.

I completely agree. Immobilize is far too OP in its current state.

I have never PvPed on my engineer, but I’d like to try. Can anyone suggest a good build to start out with as I learn? Or point me in the right direction to find said build(s)? Thanks!

Speaking from experience, warriors are stupidly easy to play. I went into PvP on mine, never had before, and was wrecking people. I’m not exaggerating, my guildies and I were laughing at how easy it is. Yet ANet plans to nerf us instead? I went with a PU condition build to counter warriors. Thieves arent as big a deal, unless they’re good. There are glaringly obvious problems with balance in PvP, and I just wish they’d be more addressed.

Yeah, some old bugs, some new. I’d be surprised if any are fixed anytime soon.
