Been 8 days since ticket was submitted, I am fine with the delay however I would like to continue receiving up to date messages similarly to that were sent on the 3rd and 4th day about the delay. No notification during an entire week is making me concern my ticket is lost, thought I doubt, it must just be still in queue.
Ticket #: 552404
The problem is if you transmutated the wvw exotic it would become salvageable because you sacrificed another item for it. The problem is now that all items now keep the name of their original stats based off. So they are now unsalvageable since they now have the wvw exotic names which has also screwed me over. For instance i have an entropy hammer, dragon jade hammer, whisperblade sword and a fractal shield, but because there now named the wvw weapons i cannot salvage them for the runes (moved my legendaries and ascended over meaning i didnt need my exotics anymore.) with no prior warning our runes and sigil are now stuck in unsalvageable exotics and if i did it before the patch i would have lost out on 4 kitten good skins.
Something should be done but will something be done? i dont know.
Forgot to add because transmutation splitters dont work either because they now only give you transmutation charges. Talk about double smack

You guys are confusing me… If you are all about DPS here wouldn’t you be running zerker gear? if you are, aren’t you using precision food? if you are, aren’t you using spotter? if you are, aren’t you using sword/warhorn? if you are, aren’t you using sigil of perception? if you are, aren’t you using rampage as one? if you are don’t you have 100% crit chance for 35 seconds? if you are in a dungeon don’t you have a warrior also tossing shouts out that give fury? 100% crit chance oooo…
fields of ruin i had 133% crit chance (redundant ins’t it? sadly crit dmg was nerfed to 22 from 100…)
- 1400 hours with ranger alone
My guild can get this done pretty easy just takes a while… basically you need 1200 range so any DPS class with 1200 range will be helpful, 1 tank will help.
What you do is pull the front group and kill them and keep repeating, eventually the tree will stop spawning them OR spawn them all behind the tree, once that is accomplished range him from max range making sure not to use any aoes. (This is when more range DPS makes this faster) The only thing you need to dodge is his weird aoes that have no red circles, basically when he shakes his body you can see little pods fly up, thats to tell you to dodge. Basically thats it simple but could be long if u keep pulling incorrectly.
P.S. ranger at max range with longbow and traited will NOT work, he will keep healing because you are not close enough. (if he can’t hit you he wont go invulnerable but he also will keep healing like he was out of combat so have at least one person in combat range of 1200)
I logged in just to fix the previous post… Arrow speed indeed increase but you can still side step them just takes better timing. Pets do hit moving target more reliable but doesn’t help they aren’t faster to chase them unless specced or dead from aoe’s from other players or bosses. Great sword was a good update being able to block and move is quite nice, but the root to throw the sword is still there. Skirmishing trait I believe was on opening strikes which sucks anyway, especially useless if your in constant combat. We did become aquaman so I guess that’s good? Doesn’t help since underwater combat is annoying and not that frequent. Drakes tail swap indeed occur however the drake is useless. Burst pets are birds and you bring the topic of AOE? You position your pet correctly and with all that aggro it’s dead anyway.
Longbow/great sword ranger with legendary and 1.1k hours played opinion, 10k wvwvw kills. Last played in December.
Improvements that didn’t change how I played except for the great sword so much isn’t it?
Hmm, in my server after the day I got my commander title a bunch of guilds transferred to our server (Blackgate) upon wvwvw with them a bit I understand how they operate usually with focus on being guild run only zergs (which i understand is the best) and when they do have it on they are indeed more experienced than me so even though I have commander I barely use it for wvwvw. I am aiming towards that more of hey there a bunch of us here, group up and we can actually do damage instead of just hopping around. Now in Pve i used my title mostly to show people that events are running. For instance if grenth is starting then I turn it on until I think a nice group has arrived. This would probably get me some flame on. Unlike the greater majority of the population (don’t know why) failing events is actually the most optimum way to farm instead of completing it and waiting for 2 hours. Yes, I even know how to make certain events fail. But I at least give them the chance to finish it. I just don’t tell them a few things, sorry but by then I usually turn it off since I believe we already got enough people (you can 2 men grenth I done it):/ but I need gold lol. Btw sometimes I forget to turn it off and that is my bad.
I have plenty other stuff to show off if I really wanted to.
(legendary, cultural tier 3, etc)

before you get me stupidly banned Khaos, please talk to the PLAYERS before reporting on allegedly botting. I enjoy farming unlike most people (i have a legendary duh lol) and i farm there quite often and might look boring, and i have yet to see a bot on the blackgate server there cause well I farm there very often lol (probably 1-3 hours a day) . though thanks for helping ruin one of my farm spots :/
Edit: I’ll like to add in – upon doing personal research – barracudas appear more often. That is all + the fact each one can summon even more – it not uncommon for me to kill 10-15 from only 4 original mobs

Can people please stop with these type of threads -.- I have my legendary and spent $0 dollars, my guildies know cause as I was doing it kept putting up status update lol. I must say I only have kudzu so I didn’t need lodestones (thank god) but yea it is totally possible, you just need to know where to farm and what is actually worth your time. For instance I made a lot of money upgrade potent blood to powerful blood while bots still existed, because I always looking for ways to profit (not profitable anymore well it is but small chance). I must say I lucked out here also since I bought all my mats 3 days before the sudden inflation. I actually made my weapon the day of the lost shore karka event, it’s sad to see my leaf of kudzu drop to 80 gold when I spent 190 gold 2 weeks ago, it happens its the market. Karma was easier to attain, cause I enjoy wvwvw and basically you get a lot of karma, with phlix nerf it is a bit harder but hey dungeons give you karma also. Also my last items I needed was ecto and I was buying those easily since I could sell my tier 6 mats for 1 ecto practically at that moment. (Lucky xD) I had. 670 hours on my char before attaining kudzu. And I started after all the early exploits so don’t bring that up also.
It’s like hey buy this iPad for $600 a month later buy this ipad for $600 and get a $100 gift card… The content is so tiny.. And you don’t understand consumerism…
Why do people ask for a refund…? It’s not a monthly payment game, even if you disliked it would a store let you return a video game for your console? No, I love how it only a one time fee even with it faults and such. This is focused on people who didn’t want constant grind, while the new fractals does push a little towards it I don’t mind. The game is design to be able to stop playing and come back a month later and continue with no new “item” to acquire.
If you noticed a recent patch they did alter something. For instance the burrows in AC can now be hit with arrows instead of obstructed, after this the random obstructed have lessen but not completely disappear
Well here you go, I was more like your friend always lucky wearing 0 magic find I even got an exotic compare to 0 to my friend who wears full magic find. I then got magic find armor and boom I had so much more loot 8 rares in a grenth run wasn’t unusually for me. However ever since at dye nerf, I believe they changed a lot of drop rates secretly, for instance I am lucky to even get a rare from a grenth run, and the usually 1-2 lodestones from grenth has become nonexistent, even spark farming I get 0. I believe your hitting a bad streak but there are other numbers in the works effecting us.
730 hours on a ranger – got my legendary the day of the event, sad to see my bow which cost me 190g drop to 80g but that’s how the market works :/
This is why guild exist, ask around I for one joined my guild when they were at lvl5 and they helped me reach a few levels, it your fault you choose to ignore the guild u were in, it is “guild” wars (could be implemented so much more)
“Tagging” a champ takes a lot more damage, ever notice in a large group u do around 5 k damage to a veteran and get no exp? And don’t say u can tag those karka champs easily, they have two phases in themselves so it like killing two of them since you get exp for getting the armor off, and with it armor off it melts pretty fast. Kill champs in a pretty strong party and you will see loot, also not in these huge events, don’t expect much loot
I only have experience with a ranger, but yea depending on what you wanna do ranger should be your choice, there is no benefit of farming alone, considering how things slowly die, however when your in events as a ranger you can tag everything without a party. As long as you don’t use magic find gear. Since most attacks only take 1 hit to get a tag on a bunch of mobs. Longbow for barrage, then you can use a secondary weapon depending on your play style that has aoe. Make sure you have piercing arrow up. This lets your arrow hit multiple targets in a straight line, not always perfect but after a while during events u know where to stand a shoot to max out the hits. I do wish I had a MF set but I just can’t see myself not 1 hit tag, too comfortable and makes it easier on me. Btw a full mf set will only double your chance of “better” loot. And that chance could be .01% and be raised to .02%, it really is all preference – I got the same amount of rates/exotics as a thief with full magic find because the amount of mobs I get credit for far suppasses everyone. It also depends what events you do. Btw at 80 you be doing a lot of farming to get items you want.
Hopefully someone else can put in the Mesmer aspect
Let me just say I only use the LB/GS build since i started day 1. LB unlike the people above don’t know has phenomenal burst power. I am using full power/perc/crit gear and stat at 20/25/20/5/0. In wvw im pretty much great, I done many 3 vs 1 and came out top half of the time, its all skill really. from afar at the beginning you wanna keep spamming 1 cause it actually your strongest damage – depending on who it ranges from 2-3k a hit, which in a large zergs entices that player to back up (no one likes to see that much damage on them lol) if it 1 vs by the time they come near you turn on rampage as one (why? stability, fury, and swiftness) and the amount of damage you have done to him should be about 25%-50% of his health. then around 40% health hp they have left you turn on your QZ press 4 to knock them down (don’t want them dodging your burst xD) then press 2 to build that damage to 10k usually since fury is on and with my build thats around 80% crit chance so yea lol. then 3 cause that almost has 0 charge shooting time. so in a matter of 3 seconds you did 2k + 10k+ 1k, not including your pet (i prefer to use range (spiders) since the dps is actually there and not running in circles), if they survive your initial burst, you should have been moving towards him and with my GS i have the sigil of hydromancy, does around 1k damage and chills them when i switch to the weapon, then you hits 3 4 5 in different orders responding on what he does. Also the GS is more for utility use, 3 to either chase or run away, 4 to block those warriors when they immobilzie you, you can also hit 5 to daze them, or stun them from behind. also 1 with QZ can be devastating, you are hitting 3 targets and that 3rd attack is always an evade so it also hard to kill you. btw with my build, glass cannon thief are fodder, you can tell by the initial damage you want to hit them a few times, and when you can feel that they are about to go stealth hit 2, why? because it keeps shooting at them even while in stealth usually guaranteeing a down mwhahaha.
now in pve, i dont use magic find gear because in my opinion what i can do compensates it, with barrage you basically tag everything in my build with 1 hit no matter what. instead of eagle eye or w/e to increase range use piercing arrow. I can gaurentee you will tag alot more. for instance I don’t even need a group in orr to tag stuff. (advantage much) then again you have to be a good farmer know where to go and WHEN to tag. maybe it just luck but i profit more than most of my other guildies running full MF, why? because i have more loot and it builds up fast – grenth for instance i need to empty 2-3 times with 80 slots…(salvage kits oh yea)
Hey I have a viable longbow great sword build if you want me to type it, you will be surprised how much survivalibility you have along with nice damage. Don’t want to thread steal so will wait for permission. I’m a nice guy aren’t I xD
K, the best I found so far is Rune of the Eagle, if you use the I want higher crit % then why not use jewels in your armor? I runs 20/25/20/5/0 build. This is mostly for wvwvw but i do also dominate against some players in 1vs1,
