Guild Wars 2

ok thanks all, that’s good to know

Hi all, im a returning player and has just bought heart of thorns, im also planning on buying the upcomming expansion. Im curious however if i should spend my heropoints on unlocking the HoT elite class or if im better of waiting and save them for the new elite specialization in the upcomming expansion as i,ve noticed they seem to require tons of points to level up.

Thanks

Hi all. im curious if there are any skins you can get to make turrets looks different then they currently do?

Im also curious on how viable flame thrower is for damage, especially pve. Or witch kit is currently seen as the strongest nowdays?

Thanks ^^

What armor would you all say suits a rifle using warrior the best?

I mad emy Warrior an Asura but im not sure whatever i like their armors.

Hi im thinking of making a warrior that mainly uses rifles and im wondering what you all consider to be the most suited race for it?
Taking into consideration looks, animation and skills.

Thanks

Is it possible to make a somewhat tanky Mesmer, that has passive defense and dont rely on dodges and shatters?

Im running Sword/Torch right now and it seems like a good combo i just dont like how the swords attacks work :o

How resilient are Mesmers, can they take alot of being before they go down and do they have any good ways of keeping health up?

Compared to say a Ranger. ^^

Im still leveling my ranger so im curious, what do you find do the best dps/damage for you, using Greatsword or Sword & X?

VitalSuit.1980:

Can anyone make a vid of the hidden pistol toolbelt skill? I don’t feel like having to make a charr engineer + getting to 20ish just to see what it looks like.

I would’ve loved to see a proper video on this.

Since im so undecisive ^^
Is it worth rerolling my 40 norn engineer for a char just because the char racials seems interesting as an engineer?
It’s harder then i suspected to choose

Which weapon set do you prefer and why?

Thanks just trying to see if it’s worth rerolling my lvl 40 Norn Engineer for ^^
Does it do alot of damage? and whatabout the Charr Elites, any good?

So would you all say that the toolbelt skill for Hidden pistol is worth making a charr for? ^^ Even if it happens to be bugged :/

Sigh, i was hoping they’d fixed that little issue by now :o
Might not seem like a big deal but stuff like that annoys me to no end ^^

Is the hidden pistol toolkit still bugged btw, are you still holding the pistols wrong or have they fixed that?

Is it worth picking Charr as engineer race for just the hidden pistol toolskill?

Let me hear your opinions Im thinking of rerolling my Norn engineer. Only problem is i dont really like how armor looks on the Charr.

Does this trait work properly?

I cant say i notice any real range or damage increase to my turret while having this traited.

Personally i’d just want some good class balance patches ^^

Do you think we’ll see any updates to the game and classes at the end of this month?

Is there a weapon combo that that boost kits the most out over the other weapon, Rifle, Pistol & Pistol or Pistol & Shield?

As i understand it kits get some bonuses from your stats and weapons now but im not entirely sure on how that works.

Is there a specific stats or so that increase the kits power?

I really wanted my engineer to be a charr. mostly because the theme suited her and tha racial skills seemed rather useful but i just cant stand how charr looks in medium armor.
At least you can completely avoid the backpack clipping issue if you make a charr and somewhat if you make an asura. In the end i gave up and just made my Engineer as norn. I just have to try to ignore all the backpack clipping that’s going on. At least she looks pretty o.O

Tried all humanoid races but this still bugs me, i guess i just have to get used to it :/

Im curious, can you wear a hood and a monocle at the same time? Does’nt those take up the same equipment slots?

What is your prefered race for a Engineer and why?

When wearing a Kit backpack you get some huge clipping issues when playing most of the humanoid races. At least for Norn and human females, the head and hair always end up clipping through the backpack and when in fighting stance, the backpack clips into your head bigtime.

Call me vain but this really bugs me big time. So much that im considering rerolling my engineer into another race.
I dont suppose there is a way to hide the backpack from the kits when equipped?

If not, then is Asura and Vharr the only two races that does’nt have this issue?

I know mesmers have alot of tricks to avoid damage but im curious to how squishy they are when faced with a mob in melee.

Im curious, are elites effects by your stats? Ei does more power equal more damage on say the Charrzooka?

Which are the racial skills you find the most useful?

Alot of good information, thank you all
I just started up a new engineer and recently unlocked the grenade kit. Now i know you probably need some traits to make it as good as people say but right now the damage feels almost non existant, my 4 levels lower pistols do way more damage. Or is that the problem?

Is there a certain point where grenades becomes powerful?

Is there any traits or abilities that are “must have”?

How does it compare to the other kits?

Is a grenade build viable setup for a engineer right now or has the grenades been nerfed too much?

I’d like to make a engineer but i dont like either of the rifle or pistol setups. Are using only kits a viable way to play?

Would i be welcomed in high levels fractals and dungeon runs? If i ran mainly rifle and longbow.

Does the skill Summon Flesh Wurm count as a minion?
And if so does it get effected by traits that effects the other minions?

So why dont Anet release patchnotes a few days before the actual patching?
You know like almost every other company does o.O

Guess i just want to know if im to be excited or dissapointed over this patch.

How’s the charrzooka btw, is the aoe any good? ^^

While i know these two proffessions are not exactly the same, they both have the same ranged way of doing damage.

I like the mechanics of both Longbow adn Rifle but i cant quite decide on which to play so i wanted to see what you all had to say about the two.

Pro’s, cons? ^^

How are rifle warriors? fun, viable, horrible? ^^
Im thinking of making a Charr warrior that mainly uses rifles.
I picked Charr mainly for the more themed and what seems like fun elites.

Hi, i was wondering if you all think making Charr just the Charrzooka ability is a bad idea? I have this idea about a rifle using warrior and it just felt like charr would work best for that, that and the elites seems fun.
I already have a warrior that’s a Nord but using a rifle on her just seems so wrong.

So give me your thoughts

The funny fun i find is that most of the warriors i’ve spoken to does’nt even use or want their rifle skills.

I wonder what the designers were thinking when they gave rifle to warriors. It’s not as if they are lacking in other areas. :/

Im sure you’ve all heard this before but i wish they’d change the skills on the rifle, They all feel terribly boring and ineffective.
Wish we had the Warriors rifle skills :/

I really want to play my engineer but she feels so lackluster right now. I love the flamethrower kit for example but he damage just seems subpar right now. Think they’ll ever give it a little boost?

Your opinions? I have trouble deciding between the two

They’ve been trying on and off all day as far as i know, still cant get in.
So are slots taken by people who does’nt activly play the game then?

I found this tidbit of info:

Hello everyone. edit, when you see a server FULL means that it is full from people actually playing there at the moment, independently of where did they create their accounts. For example, if a player creates an account in Vizunah Square and then moves to Baruch Bay, then all the characters of this player will go to Baruch Bay and he will be counted among the total amount of players of Baruch.

So if i understand this correctly, a server can be “full” even if there’s no one playing on it?
I have friends trying to join Underworld but they are unable to join it because it says it’s full even tho there’s rather few playing there right now, so i have to assume the servers count characters created there and not the amount of people logged in? Which is really silly in my opinion :s

Do you find d/d more enjoyable or how is s/d?

Right now im mostly using Sword/Pistol but i wanted to ask you all what sort of weapon setup you are using and why? ^^

Anyone know when the next round of class updates will be?

I really want to like my Engineer but alot of her skills seems lacking.
Are they ever going to make Flamethrower better?

I also wish that the rifle skills was more like the warriors.

Right now im just holding of playing until i see some good changes for the engineer.
