Guild Wars 2

So I can just go S/S in dungeons? without people getting mad at me for choosing the ‘wrong weapon’

Also, when going dual sword is it better to take Ferocious strikes? (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ferocious_Strikes_ )

or Vicious Lancerations? (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Vicious_Lacerations )

Been cracking my head over it, have heard people all around me praising it but can’t figure out how it would be strong in pve, the off hand sword skills don’t even damage that well, so isn’t axe better?

Anyhow I love S/S so if there is a reason for it to be vaiable? Maybe with a certain build?

Hi there, as you all might know, when you make a caracter in GW2 you hear some noises in the background (for example if you’re making a warrior you hear battle-sounds on the background).
Well my question is:
Can I find these soundscapes anywhere? Would like to use the mesmer one for a school project (non-commercial), been looking but can’t really find it,

lots of love,

A sound engineering student

As much as a approve of the idea… Don’t take my chronomancer away! </3

So I’ve heard that every elite spec comes with a weapon skin and a helmet skin, but I can’t find the items anywhere and I really wanna have a link for in-game to see the look of the helm on my charr.

Sooooooo anybody that has a link here?

So I should use GS if I’m no good with sword? Really don’t like getting stuck in big attacks because of the auto attack chain, think I’d be better off wielding GS and doing a little less damage but not getting killed all the time.

…Greatsword skills are much more fun anyway imo
(+I’m a huge fan of 2-H weapons myself)

So no chance of us seeing any new elite specs this Gamescom? I yearn to see my precious druid specialisation in action.

Oh and I just found a trait that gives attacks with a greatsword a chance to trigger fury (and it happens quite frequently) and that increases the damage of greatswords by… 5% I believe. So maybe that would make greatsword a bit more viable?

runeblade.7514:

Every weapon, skill and build is viable.

Ranger PvE GS is just not optimal.

So I won’t be shunned for using a Greatsword in dungeons?

Is the greatsword usable in any way when it comes down to pve? Or should I just lie down and accept sword as my overlord? Really like the greatsword skills so it’d be a bummer if I were to miss out on them.

Yes i know it makes sense somehow but I just wanna know how it makes sense, just curious, especially with druid comming up. What is the connection between asura and ranger?

Watcha think? Any chance us rangers are gonna get more pets to choose from??

YuiRS.8129:

The datamined stuff is pretty compelling evidence.

What is it exactly that has been data-mined? some picture?? How is that evidence?
Weapons skills being data-mined would convince me more than that. And even that means nothing, ask all those elementalist that were convinced that they were gonna get main-hand swords.

Does this look like a thief with a rifle to anyone else?

No. Actually it looks like an engineer. Something we can already do.

fair enough

Does this look like a thief with a rifle to anyone else?

Alrighty so with only 5 more elite specs to be announced I wanna speculate about the new engineer spec.

So here’s what i’d like to speculate about;

1. What weapon would you like engineer to have? (it’s gonna be hammer but I’d just like to hear what you would have wanted)

2. What kind of new proffesion mechanic do you think engineer is gonna get?

3. What kind of ultility skills? And what kind of elite skill? (Do keep in mind that skills will have to come from other classes) I kind already know that it’s gonna be new turrets in the form of necromancer minnions but speculating can’t hurt right?

4. What is the specs name gonna be? (heard forge in some corners but I’m not sure)

Looking foreward to your awnsers.

So ranger is among the last 5 elite specs to be revealed so I’d like to hear what you think it’s gonna be all about.

Here’s what I’d like to know;

1. What weapon would you like ranger to have? (it’s gonna be staff but I’d just like to hear what you would have wanted)

2. What kind of new proffesion mechanic do you think ranger is gonna get?

3. What kind of ultility skills? And what kind of elite skill? (Do keep in mind that skills will have to come from other classes) personally I think/hope it’s gonna be shape-shifts in the form of toolbelt skills from engineer.

4. What is the specs name gonna be? (druid right? Or is that not confirmed yet?)

Looking foreward to your awnsers.

So warrior is among the last five elie specs to be revealed, so I thought why not have some fun speculation about it.

Here’s what I want to ask of you;

1. What weapon do you think warrior is gonna get?

2. What weapon would you like warrior to have?

3. What kind of new proffesion mechanic do you think warrior is gonna get?

4. What kind of ultility skills? And what kind of elite skill? (Do keep in mind that skills will have to come from other classes)

5 What is the specs name gonna be?

Looking foreward to your awnsers.

So thief is not announced yet and as one of the five last classes to be revealed i’d thought we can speculate on what it’s gonna be. And before you start shouting staff i’ll have you know that data-mining does not mean it’s confirmed. However If you really think it’s gonna be staff I wanna see some proof.

Here’s what I wanna know;

1. What weapon do you think thief is gonna get?

2. What weapon would you like thief to have?

3. What kind of new proffesion mechanic do you think thief is gonna get?

4. What kind of ultility skills? And what kind of elite skill? (Do keep in mind that skills will have to come from other classes)

5 What is the specs name gonna be?

Looking foreward to your awnsers.

Ahwww man… A shield??? I mean I don’t want to sound ungrateful but we already have a bumload of melee stuff, I mean even the staff is melee. We only get 1 ranged weapon?!

So with Shiro revealed, probably only one legend remains. Or so I’ve heard. And I’ve also heard that it’s probably going to be some dragon named Glin (don’t know him because I’ve never played gw1. All I know is that she is a dragon. So my question, or rather questions are;

What kind of weapon do you think will be comming along with this legend? (my guess is a scepter or another ranged weapon since Revenant only has one ranged weapon so far)

What kind of slot skills do you think we’ll get?

What do you think Glint will be all about? (for example Mallyx is all about boons and conditions)

And last but not least: What do you think will be the elite skill?

Looking foreward to hearing all your awnsers and speculations.

Been playing guardian alot, so i decided to do some recearch on dragon hunter, but i don’t really look foreward to using a longbow that much, so can you be a melee dragon hunter you think?

I mean just wielding a greatsword and still using the traps as slot skills, would that be strong or just plain silly? I mean maybe exept for the elite skill: dragon’s maw. Can’t see how that one is usefull for melee.

I’ve personally always loved the idea of shape-shifting. Then again I have like five druids in WoW but druids in WoW feel way too spec-bound. I mean if you choose one spec that spec has a specific shape-shift linked to it and you never leave that shape-shift. And that kinda took away all the fun for me, I really wanted to continuously switch between bear-form, cat-form etc in the right situation but it seems that my dream did not come true.

So please guild wars… Let me live my dream… xD

With staff ranger comming up for us i’ve been thinking about making a ranger, and my eyes have fallen on the charr because i’ve never accually played a charr, but there is just one problem. They don’t seem much in touch with nature to me. I mean when druid comes rangers will be even more ‘natural’ but I don’t see charr caring for the lands or woods. I’d more likely see them destroy it for recourses. I’d love to be proven wrong though.

And while we’re on the case, does Charr have any elite racial skills worth taking over the ranger elite skills? Because the ranger skills don’t seem that strong for pve to me.
