Hi there, just curious, is there anyone that has everything? I mean all achievements, all weapons, all races, clases, maps, skins, minis, I mean everything?

they took our jurbs!!

Thanks for the feedback, been playing some dungeons, and still there are the ones that demands only zerker, even joining them and runing the dungeons feels the same, as burning or with zerker (in therms of speed clearing)

Well how is runig the burn guardian in most demanding lfg pugs??

Thanks for your answer Obal, I know this is for pve >_<

Im glad you saw the truth about condi dmg, to be honest, you cant really 111 everything if you are going condi, Ive been using sword/torch for quite some time, it has more speed and you dont need the zeal trait, you need meditations and his effects, like cleanse condis on healing, but by using mace you need to trait it, and going zeal/radiance/virtues youre loosing medi utilities, you could swap virtues for valor instead, you only loose voj procs, but you are doing burns on symbols, and blocks.
I have tried mace too, and it is a more staking weapon, but if the mob moves around youre screwed, and only have a tiny block on mace 3, but with sword you have blinds, teleport and proyectiles, sword auto attack, procs voj faster so you dont loose that much dps, you could try radiance/valor/virtues with sword, besides you only have 2 symbols gs4 and mace 2, and if you lay your light field in someone elses fire field youre screwing might and condi capabilities, light symbols and gs2 gives cleansing bolts, gs3 gives light aura.
And for the Support of the mace itself only heals a little, and we only have 12k of hp, so no heal in that area could save us from beign 1 shot if we miss a dodge. Mace its good for cc and dungeons, Ive been runing dungeons with condi build for a while, with others full zerker, and mace can do it safer, but only if you trait it.

Anet please fix indigo yak path, the cow or yak when its leaving red fort and hading to indigo, stops and makes a big turn around and goes all the way back, mobs sometimes spawn before the cow gets there.

Kehlian.4380:

Wouldn’t your build die a lot, soulTaker ?

Well if you play your blocks, blinds, and doges well you’ll be able to survive, and deal a lot of dps, and that scares people attaking you, and with the symbols trait, you will be able to stand on points at pvp and have it all guarded on your symbols, if you want even more dps, you can change radiance with zeal 213, so your teamates will be able to stand there and just melt the enemy down.
Take a notice that using zerker gear youll have a lot of dps, and precision, the precision will trigger empowering might more ofthen.

Something like this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQNAS5flsAhyhYrQwaIQQEHxDVNAeg6F3D/3Wc33JNHA-TxBBABYp8DgLCQe6GKa/hAeCAVq+zZKBJFgeCtA-e

Also if you swap your assassins trinkets for berserker trinkets, you can get 200 more points to dps, while having 66%crit chance.
Keep in mind that this is a more of a pve build, in pvp it will look like this:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVAQNAS5flsAhyhYrQwaIQQEHxDVNAeg6F3D/3Wc33JNHA-TJBBwAAuIAV3focZgAPBAA

Runes of the soldier gives you more vit and toughness, while leting you clear condis on shouts, and you have very usefull shouts, stand your ground, retreat, and of course the elite feel my wrath, and you only lose 100points on power from using another rune, like pack or scholar.
Using shelter to block a multiple hits attack, will give you might and aegis to your allies. You get symbols from hammer autoatack and mace 2, and symbols heal your allies, and also applies vul to your enemies, so its a win win in a control guardian, your meditation skills heal yourself, grants fury to allies (precision) and they hit like a truck. Give it a try.

Well the might staking isnt any good at a guardian, its just a waste of trait and potential, we guardians realy suck at might stacking, also we need help with precision. You should consider any of the main trinity of gw2 dps-control-support. I personaly dont see the guardian as Support, healing, condi cleansing, might, and some other boons are necesary, and we guardians can hardly bring any of those, and of course if we want actually do something, you need to gear up for that, yes we have condi cleansing, and healing, but you need to invest on them, gear up for healing power, or using shout for condis, and that means using pure of voice trait, or runes of the soldier, sure you have condi on medi guard, but you are loosing skills, and meditations have long cd. And lets face it, we need to be at the front lines to survive, if we stay behind we’re dead, so I use the guardian as control, you have estability, blocks, blinds, and combo fields; might and others boons, come from other players around, you just deal dmg and block or interrupt spike damage. Of course you can do the same with a tanky build, but if the enemy comes for you, and you hit them with a rubber sword, theyre just going to dps you down, because you wont be a threat to them, what you can do? Heal yourself back to 100%; a well placed combo can 1 shot anyone, no matther how much heal you have.
On the long run, what you need to survive its to have control over others, because you can outheal a big spike dmg, or heal every condi your team or you have.
On the long run, when your skills are on cd, your team and you, are going to die if the enemy isnt dead.
Take a look at some PvP championship finals, and youll see a good bunker guardian on the play.

Ps: sry for the english, isnt my primary lenguaje and im writing on a phone.

Jerus.4350:

• Shield: Please make the 5 a blast finisher and have it not stop our movement. That change alone would make shield reasonable to me, I feel its’ getting close with the cooldown changes, but it still lacks. 4 needs a bit of a damage boost as well IMO.

And reflect dmg, that would be a must at some dungeos, or high level gameplay

Really? nobody else thinks this is a good idea?

there are plenty of awesome utilities, that are wasted behind a wall of useless stats

pd: I’ve always wondered, who buy those weird insignias and inscriptions, because all clases have the same price, a zojja inscription costs as much as a “non meta” inscription (or useless)
Is that “the invisible hand” of economics, that Adam Smith told us about?
This can be out of context, but its the same as the runes and sigils, there are plenty of usefull things, but as allways, there are behind huge walls of useless stats. Because, you can qq all you want, but lets face it, this game is all about maxing dps.

Can I have your gold?? just send it to my ID soultaker.2093 thanks

About this topic, I did a little bit of numbers at the PvP trainer, and got 22k of physycall dmg+burning, with full zerker and runes of scholar, and 24k for precision, power, condi (dont remember the name in english) with runes of balthasar.

The combo I used was purging flames, gs3, gs2, gs5, gs4

Thats raw dmg solo and without any kind of buff.
So I decide to give it a try at sw, bought an exotic gear and runes (all pretty cheap, not even 1g for the 6 runes) and its amaizing how things melt.

Hi im just saying that the runes and sigils, are boring, just boring. Even the ones with interesting functions, like rez 20% faster and with 30% more hp, it would be awesome to use it, but, i dont want the other lame, boring, thougnes, 5 runes. And the same with sigils, tere are some sweet kitten functions, like 60% change of cleansing a condi on hit.

But who uses those, its a great loss, make them more fun, give us some mixing abilities, make each rune a single pack of things, I dont know, I guess you will have to nerf them a little, but it will be awesome,

I know more stupid dps so yeah.

This reminds me to Jim Sterling, why we should be “thankfull” to ANY kind of company for fixing something, that was supposed to be fine, when you payed real hard earned money to buy it??https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF27cuomwp8

Op need to see the full picture, as I’ve said before, I play guardian and when soloing a mob, I can only get to 3 or 5 stacks of burning, and thats using all my skills, and only for a couple of ticks, so I dont get why people is ok with condis, but no with guardians.
Maybe I have tweak my build a little but thats not the case, if every casual guardian could be a burning machine, well there will be the problem, but it isnt.

AHA!
a guardian here, well I had to change all my build, can’t use shouts with consecration anymore, only if you want to get mace and other useless traits, just to get shout cd reduction, wich is high, so I had to switch to medi build to be able to do something. Long story short, useful traits are now behind useless trait walls, yes burning dmg is op now, but that isn’t a reason to nerf the guardian class, we ain’t the only ones that stack burn dmg I guess, just reduce burn dmg or stacks, and we are good.
Another option, just let mobs scale way faster, level 90mobs, will be something nice to use, and really hard to fight.

And speaking of rotations, heres mine:
scepter/focus 1-3-2-Purging Flames-Judge’s Intervention-5-(swap to GS)-2-4-5-3-1-F1-2-roll out and repeat.
Not so much 1111 spaming.
Why do everyone hates guardians u_u

Hi there friends of Anet, I’ve noticed, like many others, that the main menu music stops right after you select one of your characters, and log in, and you have to stare in silence at the loading screen, please make the menu music to keep playing, all the way, until the character is on the map. Thanks!!

The best so far:
zerker, ascended gear, legenday +25kap ONLY, downed=kick

oh please anet fix this!!

Thankyou for your answers, I personally think that is actually designed with this “tricks” in mind, if you remove the pillars from AC p2 last boss, or make the boss just to stay around the teleportation chamber at coe p2, delete the rocks near the 3 boss at arah p4, the gap to the right between a tree and the wall in TA fwd, that little hole at the left on the worms chamber at TA, etc, etc. If you do something with those spots, you eliminate the staking tactic, but somehow its like the dungeon is designed with those spots carefully placed.

But on the other hand, there are paths that dont have those spots, like HOTW story last boss, that fight is a guaranted wipe, CoF path 3 whit all those mobs and needing to coordinate with the team, or SE path 2 that isnt really hard but long, and I mean long because you almost cant skip mobs, and there arent stack spots.

So the thing is the devs making this sweetspots on purpose, the players beign lazy, or perhaps the dungeon beign way to difficult to do it normally, or the AI way dumb to fall in those tricks.
Anyways, like Ive said before, this “fashion” is present on almost every mmo, tera, c9, wow, l2, etc. Whats the truth here? Are we beign smarter than devs designs, or we are playing like its meant to be played.

Well they arent going to nerf zerker gear, just with eliminating the stats from the traits is enough, so a guardian for example, using full zerker, will have 0 healing power, 0 defense or boon duration, because zerker gear only gives as we all know power, precision, and ferocity. And you know that a guardian needs at least 500 on healing power to be able to do something, and if he is going full dps, it will be the same, will be even more crystal canon. The same thing can aply for the other professions, those who rely on trait points to balance the lack of stats of the zerker gear.

Well I got the portal, but cant play the beta, here in Argentina, it would de like 8am, and of course I will be working, so cheers!!

Well I dont know the set, but isnt it the same skin as any other ascended armor? Or you mean the stats? The zealot insignia costs only 1g

Hi there, as the title says, are all the dungeones in all games, designed that way? I’ve been playing a lot of mmos, and eventually they all tend to the same, enemy pull 1 by 1, or stacking, dont think for a min that its just a GW2 thing only.

So thats my question, are players just being lazy? or is content that harder that cannot be beaten the “normal” way? Or its just playing smart that we dont rush all in a room with guns blazings and swords swinging?

I really hate when there are other guardians in a dungeon, and im the only one using wall of reflection, even if its a proyectile heavy fight. Same with stand your ground.

I hate when in a lfg post states “exp only” and in the first boss, they all wipe.

I dont rez people at the lanes after a boss fight in SW, they should wp, and feel asahamed.

Once in pug in CE everyone was asking if we were all on the zerker meta, and I was using full cleric armor.

Dont regret nothing!!!

So napalm will be the meta then?

Btw, most interesting post I have seen in days, around the forums

I have an idea, why not having an over the shoulder view camera when zooming in, and a centered camera when zooming out. Like Skyrim :P I know you can adjust camera horizontal position, but when you zoom out, there should be an option that centers the camera again on the middle of the screen
