Guild Wars 2

My party got all the way to the end with the traps and Detha bugged out and would not continue the dungeon. We tried getting her killed and rezzing her, waypointing back to the beginning, killling the gravelings along the way, none of which worked.

I am about to hit 80, and I am wondering what gear most ppl use for a guardian. I have been using the knight’s set so far. My build is centered around healing and support (30 points in Valor and Honor).

I have not played GW 2 since early October, and I was wondering if there are any major changes to the crafting system. I was looking through all the patches and I did not see any such changes. For example, have the drop rates changed at all for rare crafting materials (totems, vials of blood, etc.)?

Part of may be your group. I ran SE explorable tonight (all 3 paths) and it went pretty smooth. Groups are just luck of the draw unless you are running with the same people each time. Group composition may also be part of it…i have found i have an easier time when I am the only ranged since everyone is running around trying to hit the mob chasing me. Most of the mobs in dungeons hit quite hard so if you aggro one it is best to try and run around and kite it through your traps rather than trying to burn it down quickly. You could also try out different skill combinations…entangle works really well to start a pull of a bunch of enemies.

You should have no problem as a ranger in dungeons generally. I have not run every dungeon or every explorable mode, but I have not had too much trouble in the ones i have run with a full set of the blue explorer gear. I have been using the longbow and the shortbow…the key thing is to just keep your distance if you are a glass cannon and knockback/slow an enemy or two until your pet or someone else gets them off of you. Explorable dungeons will definitely be easier if you trait into the vitality or toughness lines or use such armor.
