Guild Wars 2

Poison Ivy was a sylvari before it was cool…
haha jk

I’m doing the “Forging the Pact” story quest and after we fight off the waves of undead and that cutscene plays I end up in a wall with no way out. I’ve tried attempting to “glitch” my way out with no luck. It’s happened 2 or 3 times now and I really just want to get past it. I’ve been sitting in the story mission for about an hour in this wall…trying to get out. Any suggestions? Or is this just a known bug that I should avoid until it is fixed.

nope, it’s not a troll topic. seriously., i just wanna faceroll ppl with my first character

Unfortunately there is no “facerolling” as everything requires a fair amount of skill to play. Nothing is “press 2 and 3 and you win” in this game. There are certain classes that have a higher skill cap e.g. Mesmer or Engineer, but none are particularly OP. If someone is telling you they’re OP it’s because they got rocked by them. It’s easy to say class X is op when you get dominated by it, but if you simply step back and take the time to learn the ins and outs of your abilities all of the classes are fairly well balanced.

1. Clones deal no damage, but illusions do. If you want an extra pair of hands dealing dps then spawn illusions. Clones are built around conditions. Most clones stack either a single condition or random conditions on your target. And in PvP you really cant tell which one is the real you and which is the clone as you look the same and your name is displayed the same. The only way to tell is to know where the original is and if he/she is in a big zerg of players then good luck.
2. I answered this in number 1 fairly thoroughly.
3. The teleport skill will tend to not teleport you back if you are at the maximum distance for the clone to spawn. If you have no target then you will teleport regardless. Is this a bug? I’m really not sure.
4. most illusions have about a 1 second delay before dealing damage. The phantasmal Warden(sword and focus) waits 1 second before dealing damage with its [whirlwind defense] attacks. It’s attack lasts for about 3 seconds and then it stops for another 3 seconds before starting its attack again.
5. If you’re running staff for your mesmer youre going to be very supporty. Your chaos storm does fairly decent damage but is more useful if placed on allies, unless ofcourse your allies are melee, then just drop it on their heads and it will hit everything. Do everything you can to keep atleast 2 clones/illusions up at all times if youre soloing things, it adds to your survivability. Mesmers are also surprisingly very stealthy, having almost as many stealth abilities as a thief including a mass invisiblity skill with more than double the range of the thief’s shadow refuge. DODGING IS IMPORTANT, though thats true with all of the classes.
Greatsword rocks; not necessarily a tip, but its true.
