“Light on your Feet:
Damage and condition duration is increased for a while after dodging. Short bow skills recharge faster and your arrows pierce.”
Everything works as noted in the description but the condition duration increase is 100% instead of just 10%. Is the description wrong or the duration bugged?
Just for starters: do not come with the argument that you do not have to have these items and that you can use ingame gold to get them
I just want to talk about the general pricing politic behind the gemstore.
If those things were too cheap, everyone would buy them with in game gold and they would make no money at all with gem purchases. If Gems were only purchasable through real money, I’m sure those prices would go down by like 75%.
But yeah, some armor is pretty expensive and I would half the cost of almost all armor, accessory stuff.
I would accept those prices, if you could use all the armor unlimited times like the weapon skins from achievements. It feels better to buy armor/weapon skins you cannot waste for 1 character you may not like anymore after a while.
Well, I hope they will add all the stuff some people missed from the living world achievements, or want to have another time in the store someday.
There is no reason not to put it in the store. I’ve also missed 3 or more living world achievement rewards due to inactivity.
Btw, is this email an official mail from anet?
“noreply@guildwars2.com”
It can be. Or it could be one of the many phishing emails going around that use that ‘reply’ address, as well. It depends on the email.
We just found out that there was a fake adress in the e-mail. There was something with “http://account.gu1ldwars.com/…” in one of the links. Plus her account is “supposedly” closed due to gold selling and this e-mail was only 2 days old. Pretty short for a ban in my opinion.
So it’s all good. Her account was never used for gold selling. She will still change her e-mail for the future.
Is it possible to change it? I couldn’t find any options at “My Account” for it.
My friend recently recieved an e-mail concerning gold-selling and that her email is temporarily closed. She wasn’t playing for a while and came back. I’m afraid that her e-mail is a high risk to keep playing safe, since she used that e-mail for almost anything and is probably like 5-10 years old. I told her to use a new e-mail when she created her GW2 account but she was too lazy. That was not even the first game she has been hacked in…
When choosing the XI “Grenadier” in the Explosives trait, the tooltip hides the damage value of Shrapnel Grenade.
I’ve also seen the bleeding damage disappearing in the tooltip when it shows the bonus effect from Steel-Packed Powder (25 Points in Explosives). But I don’t know how to reproduce it because this bug seemed to disappear after I reallocated my traits.
There are probably alot more bugs like these since that change with the blue colored, indicated facts.
Stone Sheath doesn’t apply bleeding every time you cast it.
It will always block an attack but when I use it as fast as possible (instanlty after the
cooldown), it will only apply bleeding every second time I use it.
So it is either bugged or has a cooldown for the bleeding effect which is not mentioned in the skill description and as far as I know this would be the first weapon skill that cannot apply it’s effects every time it is ready.
PS: As a conjurer, I love the changes and buffs you gave to the shield and the bow. The shield is now a great choice between those weapons. And the new condition display is awesome! Keep on the great work!
Does the Molten pick have a better chance of uncovering rare components? I missed buying it and the bone picks description does only say:
“Used to mine all metals. Unlimited use”
Those unlimited gathering tools are rare(yellow) like the black lion gathering tools but the black lion stuff says:
“Extremely efficient at gathering resources and uncovering rare components”
Do the unlimited tools have the same chance as the black lion tools or do they not have any special bonuses?
Name: Skydown Main Character: Felidae Imbris Current Region/Server: Whiteside Ridge (EU) Interested Activities or specific things you want help with: I can help with anything I know about the game. I actually didn’t play alot overall since I got the game but I did a little of everything I think. I should be able to answer most questions newbies could have. What I am interested in is probably to level, explore the world and have fun with people I like. Active: Random times… depends on my mood, but more or less on weekends Additional Comments:
The last time I played for more than 1 day in a row was when those Living World events started. Friends started to play other games and I also got inactive because It’s difficult for me to play mmo’s without people I know or like. After that I just checked updates every now and then but I wasn’t able to motivate myself to play, so I missed a few new stuff, I guess. I really like GW2, it’s the best mmorpg I’ve ever played but I just can’t do it on my own.

It says: “If there are two unique sources of Burning, the effect with the greater condition damage value will be used until that source ends”
If I understand it right; an elementalist who could perma burn or a thief who could perma poison someone would never let anyone else damage the target with these conditions if their condition damage is the highest. Since their time never runs out the other people that sometimes apply that stuff will never get their turn and lose damage over a large fight. Time stacking conditions lose alot of damage from different sources. I think many champs die with over 1 minute duration left.
There are no examples about stacking over 25 unfortunately but it seems like as a condition type player you should rather solo or ask anyone in your party if they are going to destroy your conditions…
I never noticed that the burning I applied sometimes didn’t even damage the target if it was already in the burning state by someone stronger.
Duration stacking conditions only work from the strongest “condition damage” player as long as he can keep his own conditions apllied. So there is no place for more than one condition build in your party. I thought about doing a condition build but now I’m hesitating since I like to play in groups/dungeons.
I’ve always wondered how stacking conditions, for example bleeding, with a large group works out.
I know that there is a limit of 25 Stacks for Bleeding and Vulnerability.
So, there is a Champion and lots of people apply conditions on them. Even if I can see 25 perma bleeding stacks on it I can still use my own bleeding skills and deal damage with them, even though the limit is 25 stacks.
My theory is that each player can stack his own 25 stacks and add his own condition times to the existing ones. So, the condition and boon display on a target is mostly just there to show if you could abuse for example a trait that increases your damage on burning foes by x% even if its not your own burning.
But if someone else causes vulnerability on the target, everyone does benefit from it.
Are my thoughts right about group conditions or could someone correct or add something important I didn’t mention?
Traps are really small, easily avoidable and only work for 1 target. So I was wondering if its even viable to use them in PvP, WvW.
Edit: Is this a stupid question or does really nobody know? I just thought Traps might work different than other AoE Damage skills that show red lines in the area.
As far as I know, Conditions ignore thoughness and should therefore deal the most damage possible.
The problem with that is there aren’t as many multipliers as there are in direct damage.
Conditions you have (level)x(set number) plus (conditiondamage x condition damage modifier)
That means theres not much gain but theres not much loss, compared to direct damage which is (weapon damage x power x skill damage modifier) / armour
Since all condition damage modifiers are below 100% (burn being 0.25 for example) means the damage never really climbs that high per tick.
While direct damage gets into the several millions before armour is calculated and armour doesn’t get THAT high so you can still get 10-20k hits from direct damage even against higher armour levels.
I know that there are multipliers. I just meant that you will probably deal the damage you see in your tooltip which should be the highest possible, since it cannot be reduced by armor.
I didn’t say Conditions deal the most damage in this game.
As far as I know, Conditions ignore thoughness and should therefore deal the most damage possible.
In my experience Conditions work pretty well in PvE. That’s because there are almost no monsters that cleanse them so you can stack it up pretty easy.
In PvP I’ve never tried a real Condition build, maybe the damage is reduced in PvP.
You could just check yourself if the damage shown in the tooltip is correct.
I’ve went to the PvP Lobby with my warrior equipped a bow and checked the tooltip for “Pin Down”
Bleeding*6*(12s): 3,0kittenage
Here is how you calculate the damage per pulse:
3,060 / 12 seconds = 255 damage with 6 stacks
255 / 6 stacks = 42,5 Damage per stack per pulse(second)
I’ve checked it against those golems in the PvP Lobby; each tick dealt 43 damage per bleeding stack, with “Pin Down” you apply 6 stacks at the same time so you will see the number 43 six times per second on the enemy’s head.
Now you just have to check it against other players. If the damage is the same against players, everything works fine.
If you still don’t understand why nobody dies to your bleeding. There are lots of utility skills for each class that can remove conditions, switch them with someone else, etc.
The duration could also be different in PvP. As far as I know some Runes or something can reduce the time of conditions applied to you.
1) Let’s say you are the leader of a guild and switch servers, with or without members, will that guild stay on your character or does it disappear?
2) I read somewhere that if you delete all your characters, you can switch to any server for free. Do you also have to delete all your items in your Bank or can you store your stuff there and just pick it up on the new server with new characters?
3) Is the server transfer cheaper if you have less created characters? I have 5 characters and transferring to a “very high” populated server costs 1.800 gems for me as example.
I hope that anyone can answer these questions for me.
Thanks in advance.
Does only the main hands Sigil work or are there exceptions?
For example stuff like +5% dmg or 5% Critical does not show up in your status window so I don’t even know if one of these sigils work.
I was trying to finish the map Bloodtide Coast and was not able to get the point of interest at the sorrowful sound.
So I was looking for guides on how to get there and watched like 5 different on youtube.
Each one of them started by destroying a lamp post. And that’s where I can’t get further because I cannot attack any of these lamp post. Only 1 lamp post has a health bar and it is not red, it’s yellow.
I’ve destroyed all lightning turrets and checked out all data recorders and nothing changed. All I can do there is destroying turrets.
Has the puzzle been changed or what am I doing wrong?
