Right now the Finals are going on, where can I find the engineer build that the pros are using? They are using Bulkward Gyro, so it’s not the one on metabattle.

It’s the same build. Elixir B/Bulwark gyro can be swapped around.

So if they are using Bulkwark gyro and no elixirs in their kit, what’s the point of speccing into alchemy?

Edit: I looked more into it, Elixir gun’s 4/5 are considered elixirs. Makes sense now, since I was like “Unless there’s ability swapping ingame now, having a gyro means we have 0 elixirs in the build”. Forgot about the gun.

Pally amulet, Gyro/Elixir as elite

That’s what I don’t understand, why did they go into Alchemy HGH if there are no elixirs? Also what are the water runes you got going on there?

In the past, no new legendaries were introduced. My guess is we’ll see new legendaries quarterly, but it’s just a guess.

There was nothing new regarding legendaries announced this winter update :l which is why I’m contemplating about buying the chaos rifle skin. Because even when they do announce the next round, it might not be the rifle legendary.

I want to buy the chaos rifle skin which costs like 200g, but I also want to craft the legendary, and I thought it owuldnt be worth to get the chaos rifle skin a month before the legendaries (if they do) get announced. Even then we don’t know which set of three legendaries will be announced. Should I spend the 200g now and pray the rifle doesn’t come out next round? Does anyone know the rough time intervals between legendaries introduction in the past?

Do I still get a shot at ascended gear and loot after the first time doing it that day?

Hi guys, I recently got a Zintl ascended armor box. I can choose any piece of gear however the stats are not what I want, so I plan to put the piece into the mystic forge to change the stats. However, my goal is to get full ascended zerkers eventually, but at the same time I want to save gold. So which armor piece should I pick from the box that would save me the most gold (aka the most expensive piece to craft).

What stats do you rifle engineers run in PvE and WvW? I’d love to know before I start crafting ascended gear. Bump

Hi guys, I’m trying out many builds atm, and now I want to try rifle builds. What stats do you guys run (if anyone does) in PvE and WvW as a Rifle Eng? Full berzerker or a mix of Berzerker and Knights in WvW?

while you are on a different character? I want to craft a legendary, and I understand there are collections. Can I get parts of HOPE’s collection items if I’m playing on my Revenant for example? Or are there certain things I can’t get.

They don’t have them. You can infuse an ascended backpiece though giving you 2 infusion slots. The stats on ascended backpieces are slightly better than an 80 exo with an upgrade item. It’s the infusions that make them special.

So if I don’t run fractals then those slots are useless to me pretty much?

Pretty much, although they are the BIS.

Are you talking about the base stats on the back item being BIS?

I finished crafting the static tempered spinal blades ascended back piece, but noticed that it only has an infusion slot, but no upgrade slot where I can insert upgrade gems like my rare back item had. What’s the deal with this?

My scrapper is a classy whoopass.

For example people who have two legendary pistols “HOPE”, did they craft both of them? Were each one as expensive to craft as the other? How do you craft two of the same legendaries once you’ve already unlocked the achievements the first time?

Something like that. Just gotta be aware of when people have no condi removal left, and you bomb your Burning.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but isn’t that a flame thrower centric build?

I can’t seem to find any online that are recent. I’m aware P/P is not meta, but I still want to run it to try something new. Does anyone got a working P/P build I can try in sPvP?

Just a flesh wound.3589:

Would help to know what profession…..

And maybe you could post this in the correct professions forum (thief or engineer) if you want an answer about a particular profession.

LOL I thought I was posting in the Eng forums, mb.

Doesn’t have to be the best build out there, just one that works and can get the job done. I’ve been searching for one online for a while to no avail. Idk what runes, sigils and amulets to use. Anyone got some advice to set me on the right foot, or better yet a build they put together?

no one knows the name of this soundtrack?

Starts at 4:22

Link starts at the song which I’m trying to find the name of.

Thank you in advance!

Hey guys,

Since engineers can’t weapon swap like other classes if I use sigil of air and fire do the two sigils proc from my scarpper hammer alone? If I recall on my ranger only 1 sigil works for each weapon, but since eng can’t have more than 1 weapon in combat but they still have two sigil spaces do they get the effects of both sigil using 1 weapon?

For example does sigil of air proc only on the hammer and sigil of fire only proc on my elixir gun? Or do both sigil of fire and air proc on hammer and Elixir gun?

The loot you get from a specific type of enemy drops pretty fast, nothing to really worry about. About your mastery level, the only thing you can do is to use EXP booster and simply enjoy playing the new maps. I don’t know what masteries you need cuz I already had them when I went for Fix R Upper, but especially if you’re not that rich, it’s always a good idea to aim for those ascended weapons.

Hope I could help you a bit greez
- Ziggy

Well that’s good to know if it doesn’t take a while. I think I’ll have to grind those masteries with boosters or food. How on earth do people have over 100 masteries let alone 50 jeeezus.

Hey guys, just wondering how long it took some of you to get all the components such as the goop from the chak. And how long it took for you guys to lvl your masteries required for different parts of the achievement for the hammer like stealth gliding and exalted gathering? I feel like I’m taking a while yet I’m playing everyday. Are there any ways I can speed up my mastery leveling (only lvl 16) and component farming (like the goop from the chak).

stupid post :P

2. function gyro is one of the best things to happen – you can double revive, or stomp+make a pressure on downstate so he wouldnt get up

3. adaptive armor is one of the things that helps us to deal with our gratest weakness all the time – condi, so now we have a chance against necros

4. hammer is like powerbased p/s with blocks, reflects, cc, movement speed/avades and even good damage

so scrapper is best thing in 3 years to happen to us

how do you use your function gyro to revive? I have yet to do it.

This is so infuriating. I spent +2 hours doing events leading up to the meta event and then as I’m doing the meta event in Tarir the game crashes. When I load back into the game I’m sent to another version of the map with no one there. Like seriously?

I doubt it has anything to do with my computer. I’m running i-7, 6th gen GTX 970, 16 GB Ram, Windows 10 and 64 bit.

What the hell is going on? Up until yesterday I’ve been fine and don’t recall ever having crashes, but now within the last two days I’ve had 3 crashes all during meta events that I invest hours into doing – hours wasted.

Xyonon.3987:

Hey there, can you tell us for what? WvW, PvE, raids, open world? The “full knights armor” seems more like WvW, or you’re just either new to PvE or you just take it easy So tell us! ^^

greez Ziggy

Hi,

I am trying to gear for both WvW and PvE. I’m also rather new.

I’m new, I could really use some help choosing since they things cost a lot of laurels.

I’m running full knights armor scrapper right now with Zerker rings. What should my accessory be, Knights or Zerkers or another stat?

bump, pls I want to equip it but not if it means it’s no longer going to work for my ascended hammer.

Hi guys, rather new player here,

I was just wondering that since I’m trying to craft the ascended “Fix R Upper” hammer and part of the requirements is to have the Inquest Servo which drops from Mark 2 Golem, now that I have it, can I equip it as an accessory and still use it as a component for crafting my Fix R Upper later when I get all the other parts?

Thanks!

New here, but can someone tell me why rangers suck or why they feel weak?

Set character modell limit and quality maybe to medium. Shadows to medium
also can help a little bit .. but at Worldboss events its mostly normal that the
frames go down.

but then how does a worse build manage to get higher fps than mine? The guy at my store said that this build would easily get 60 fps with everything on Ultra. I spent over 2k on this build, and I’m getting worse fps than a cheap build.

You simply can’t believe everything that people said. The FPS in GW2 differs greatly
depending on where you are .. i can get up to 170 staring at a wall in a lonly cave
but at Karka Queen it gets down to below 20 with my I5 2500k.

However in normal open World Maps it mostly 60+

You’re running an I5 2nd gen, but mine is an I7 6th gen, shouldn’t that be a huge difference not just a mere 10 fps difference between you and me? There has to be something else that is up…

When I went to the PC store and asked them for a build that would get me a minimum of 60FPS, while every setting is on ultra. But atm everything is on high and I only get 30 fps at Megadestroyer world boss. I asked in chat why my fps was so low for my build, and people were all confused as well. Some guy was running with a build a lot less powerful than mine but was getting 50-60 fps.

My Processor is the I core 7, 6th generation and my GPU is the GTX 970, and my ram 16GB.
So what’s the deal? Is there some in game setting I didn’t click or should turn off?

I don’t know if it’s just me, but recently whenever I play GW2 I occasionally just freeze. Like I can move my character but my abilities don’t fire when I use them, only until 10-30 seconds after. I do play on Blackgate (locked server), if that has anything to do with this.
How can I fix this? It’s really ruining my experience with the game.

Chokolata.1870:

The Druid is a healer specialization. But you do not have to pigeon hole yourself into it as you can build it as a support or damage dealer. It just gives you an option for sustain. You can use it for self or for others.

I have played a DPS druid the whole BWE3 in both pvp and wvw and it worked fine. You can look at Celestial avatar as an oh crapp button and a secondary heal.

how is the dps? does it compare to other dps specs?

I level’d a ranger so I could be a kitten archer. I certainly didn’t sign up to be a healer, but atm it’s my main and it’s at lvl 42. I’m not sure if I should continue to lvl my ranger. Or start anew. If I were to raid at 80 everyone would expect me to be a healer…

So what should I roll for HoT? I’m thinking guardian, eventhough their elite is a ranger, will they still be useful frontliners kinda like tanks?

Mesmer might be an option or necro.

Any input would be nice, what should i roll or should i continue with ranger?

Hi guys, I bought this game before release but never got around to really playing it, so essentially I’m still a noob. My question is, if I use this armor set, is it consumed on use? Is it a one time use thing then it’s forever gone?

Hi guys,

I’m rather new to the game and I was getting help putting together a set for my ranger. I was sadden to find out that the shoulders they recommended me are no longer obtainable. The shoulders are the Stalwart shoulders, so I was wondering if anyone could help me out and recommend me an alternative pair of medium shoulders for my set I’m putting together.

What I am striving for is this: http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141008192629/typemoon/images/e/ee/Archer1.png

What a fellow kind soul put together for me was this.
Shoulders – Stalward
Chest – Seeker
Pants – Seeker
Boots – Duelist
Bow – Vigil’s Honor

Her result was awesome, but sadly those shoulders are no longer obtainable.

Please help me find a good alternative pair of medium shoulders, I would greatly appreciate it!

New player experience keep lvling and it will open up in time mate

How long are we talking? What level do I have to be before I can start seeing them again? Is there a setting I can toggle to make them appear on my map?

Hi guys I am new to GW2,

I like the idea of confusing my enemies with clones, kinda like Leblanc in LoL.
The Portal seems legit, I can transport those golem guys.
I like the two-hander spells they got.

What are some other fun/interesting things mesmers can do?

I want to be that class which stands above the rest because of what I bring to the table. Where I’ll be useful in most situations (PVE/PVP). Enlighten me please.

Hi guys,

When I played this game over a year ago I would always see skill points and vista points, but now after I’ve deleting my old toon and started on a new realm I don’t see any skill points on my map anymore. What gives?

Hi, whenever my thief does the death blossom ability, it will teleport my character behind the creature and attack it, but it does not turn my screen so that im now facing the creature from behind, and as a result I have to manually turn my screen which i find really annoying. My question is, is there a function which can make it so that when my character does an ability which teleports my char behind an enemy my screen will follow? I’m tired of turning my screen manually, thanks.

I’d also like to add a few other bugs. My pet boar has a weird glitch where it runs in one place. Also how some abilities for hunters like “Protect me” doesn’t actually prevent dmg.
Also the “signet of stone” one of the passives is that my pet takes no dmg from attacks, and yet it still does from melee attacks.

Like the title says, the Norn personal story line called “Sabotage” is bugged. On stage 3 where I need to protect the survivor “Vladok” the enemies spawn then de spawn, the enemies literally last for 0.5 seconds then de spawn, so i cannot kill any of them to complete my quest. It’s been like this for the last 2 days. I’ve retried the entire quest about 4 times now, it’s always the same problem. Would be nice if it got fixed, thanks.
