Why do you think this was done out of malice? Maybe they wanted to give tribute to all those who lost their lives in the skies with this show?

Condition Duration Cap Question

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Sobat.8650

Sobat.8650

Here is a video from a year ago where a necro with +120% bleed condition duration tests against a warrior with -60% condition duration and they end up with +60% bleed duration.

http://youtu.be/VLexyzHyeO4?t=4m26s

So the excess +condition duration still works to cancel out -condition duration.

Might have changed though.

How to protect myself in WvW?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Sobat.8650

Sobat.8650

Buddy up with a couple like-minded players. Usually when you find someone roaming alone, they are built for one vs one battles.

Also, avoid using a longbow. It’s only useful if you are with a group and far in the back, but it is a dead giveaway that you are ill prepared for a close range fight (which will most likely be the case, you move faster going forwards than backpedaling and strafing) since already 1/2 of your weapon skills are dedicated towards ranged combat.

Paying to farm for gold, kinda counter-intuitive.

Also, will the cup be half full or half empty? How will new players see this, are the paying members getting a buffed drop rate or are the free players getting a nerfed one?

Either arrow cart blueprints or siege ram blueprints check on the TP(trading post) which one sells higher and cash in.

Also make sure you are on the badge of honors tab at the siege vendor, you want to make money not lose it.

Well that was assuming they had a stock of gem cards in addition to gold.

Where are the Phoenix Skins?

in Festival of the Four Winds

Posted by: Sobat.8650

Sobat.8650

Current supply ranges between ten to hundreds for each skin, I think the price is due to these being the first weapon skin set to be released post-wardrobe.

In the past you were paying for a 1 use skin, but now it is unlocked forever and people are willing to pay up.

I’m no economist though.

The animations are there, but each profession was created around a certain aesthetic.
Simply swapping out skills across professions will make the visuals disjunct.

Well her cripple is the same as any other cripple, either cleanse it or dodge through the shadow falls. Resist the urge to dodge her leap attack and save everything for stuff that will kill you in one hit.

And her hp is low enough to be burned through with life steal procs.

Lightning Pull.

I find that combining it with assisted leap increases the accuracy of lightning pull (only if you have enough head space / spare charges)

Its so the China server can get their hands on these old items.
But this old stuff is pretty grindy as well so don’t feel too bad.

Players have to make a choice of getting a couple old items or 1 new item with the meta reward and then have to farm events repeatedly to once again pick either the other new item or some more old ones.

No, but soon there might be some items in gem store to do so.

lol. Judging by your previous thread it sounds like you mystic forged a bit more than just your gold!

(To OP just buy condition duration reduction food, costs silver not gems)

They fixed a lot of complaints from last year (open top stadium / bright aoe circles / nerfed a bit of the mechanics)

After finding a build that brings you close to victory, you are supposed to keep going at it until you get lucky or get that epiphany of how the battle flows.

cant overwrite infusions

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sobat.8650

Sobat.8650

I have multiple ascended accessories, like an amulet that has a mighty WvW infusion, and i need to replace them for AR infusions for fractals. I’ve bought +5 AR infusions off of the marketplace but i can’t use them on anything.

Yea seems like you bought some agony infusions, but are trying to put them in offensive/defensive slots.

You have to infuse/mystic forge the accessories first, which grant you a new agony slot (but the process will delete your current infusions since technically it becomes a new item)

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Infused_equipment

There are +5 AR infusions that go in the offensive/defensive slots in the fractals hub zone. Look through the golems’ shopping list and find versatile simple infusion and buy it for 75 fractal relics.

It should overwrite, but just double check that you are overwriting an agony slot with an agony infusion, an offensive slot with an offensive/versatile, ect

Seeking advice/suggestions on WvW build

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Sobat.8650

Sobat.8650

You should definitely check out the warrior subforum.

You are going to want stability skills when blobbing around in a large group so you don’t get locked down and swallowed by the enemy.

And then condition removal skills while roaming around in small groups because its a battle of attrition.

Some quick critiques on what you posted, I hope you have a second weapon on swap and you aren’t intentionally mixing rune sets on your armor.

As for trying to get a mobility advantage over your opponent, swiftness is alright, but the real speed comes from movement skills such as sword #2.
You’ll see soon that even though you are at max 1200 range, people will catch up to you really fast.
(Reason being: you move/strafe slower than charging straight towards the enemy. Plus a good majority of people will also have either swiftness as well or a +25% boost from traits/skills)

Consider bringing a melee weapon(some people will circle strafe you and make it difficult to hit with ranged attacks) and at least 1 condition removal skill.

Criticals and Invunerability

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Sobat.8650

Sobat.8650

There are a lot of different invul skills that vary in effect, but generally they either reduce total damage to 0 or don’t prompt a damage check at all.

So you can get a critical hit on say Liandri, but it would still do 0 damage(though it gives you a chance to get stuff to proc off hit/crits)
But not with elementalist’s mist form, which does no damage checks.

How does the black lion specialist work?

Not anymore, they were time-limited before (BL chest drops a specific ticket for only that weapon skin set)

Now they changed it to a general scrap/ticket system.

You can still turn in those old tickets though.

I think it was mentioned that you need to spend 10 supply after each refund to be eligible for the next refund in one of the livestreams

Edit: nvm http://youtu.be/XXC3f77HZ7s?t=28m says that it checks at the “end” so probably means when you spend all supply

Question about "read the wind"

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sobat.8650

Sobat.8650

It is mostly for fighting against other players, since monsters are either chasing you in a straight line or standing still like a punching bag.

Arrows don’t home-in, the game system places the trajectory of projectiles to where it thinks the target will be in T time, so players can dodge projectiles if they strafe with a certain rhythm and this trait will tighten up the predicted trajectory.

Unlocking the new Grandmaster traits in pve

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Sobat.8650

Sobat.8650

I think they should have integrated the traits not with champions but with places of power. You would still have to clear out whatever was there (champion/vet/ect), but didn’t have to wait around for something to respawn (which was what Anet was trying to abolish when they formulated this game)

So I stopped getting trait points as a level.

I think the new UI is a bit disorientating, but this new 1 trait = 5 old traits doesn’t really affect me (since you would always put 5 down at a time anyway, unless you were a celestial enthusiast and did the 14-14-14-14-14 build)
