Stuck here as well
Honestly this is extremely frustrating. Put in a support ticket 2 days ago and still no response.
After uninstalling and reinstalling Guild Wars 2 in order to attempt to clear settings that may be causing the 0kb pre-patch error, I am unable to begin the download of the game. Running the setup, and the download speed quickly dwindles to 0kb/s. I have tried switching the download server to no avail. Any idea on what to do here?
All of those aren’t working for me. I’m on the setup though, so that may change things. I tried reinstalling after the game wouldn’t change, but looks like it played against me. Any ideas for me?
Same problem here.
Still having this issue. My first way of resolving it was modifying C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts with 174.35.56.164 assetcdn.101.arenanetworks.com which worked temporarily. The issue has since returned and I have no clue what to do. After a bit of thinking I attempted to tether into my phone’s connection which seemed to fix my issue but at 8326KB it finally slowed down to 0kb. This is extremely frustrating and it seems like there is little to know support on the subject.
Title says it all. Builds that although are unforgiving can be great when used right. Obviously these builds usually aren’t overly tanky but are extremely fun in my opinion.
Here are some of mine.
Might Stacking Nades(WvW):
http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=VV;4sPVg0l6gTFx0;9;4T9-J939A3;338-5;1G3;0F3-yt6hoLQhJwFiVL;1k_-VWVl0pXpY-4n45DV2c-7V6TsW6R;9;9;9;9;9;4VUF7Y
Healing kit is your friend here; Switch to it and get 12 stacks of might then drop stim for fury. The rest is pretty self explanatory. Switch to healing kit whenever you don’t have might but try to time your switches accordingly with drop stim’s cooldown. Nades are your main go to for damage.
HGH Glass Cannon (PvP):
http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=VV70;2Z;0h0q5cQkw0;9;4T;0T9039;417A1;04R;4DsV2DsV25Be
Pretty easy to wrap your head around. Use elixirs as needed steadily increasing your damage. Try to keep at a range as you are squishy as hell.
Have you tried running the game through a different port? Check to see if anything in your resource monitor is using port 443 (GW2’s default port). My issue was that AT&T uses 443 and changing the port the game ran through fixed it for me.
Do you have AT&T?
Yep and not even getting a response for my support request. Gotta love it.
still getting this error. Come on anet please fix it
Yep having the same issue as well. Everything on my end is working flawlessly with many large MMOs and online games working with no lag at all (Eve Online, Diablo 3 and the Wildstar beta when it’s open). So far it has been like this all week and it is really kittening me off. Anets making no fans from this.
Having the same issue. It’s pretty annoying.
Ehhh I’d rework your gear a little then. There is no need to exceed 60% crit chance, especially in a group build where AoE fury should be present.
For your solo build, you’re better off putting the 5 points from CS into trickery for say vigor or uncatchable or even Sa for the added might. 5% on a thresh hold thieves barely can maintain isn’t worth it and the loss in prec/crit dmg will hardly be noticed. Caltrops on dodge are good for non-condi builds too, since it has a 5 second cripple base and since you have 30 in DA + lyssa it’s more like 7 seconds of them limping around.
For both builds, full on zerker is hit and miss. I wouldn’t be using venoms if that’s the playstyle you prefer, because escaping is that much harder even with d/p and SR. Skelk venom is still not the greatest choice for a solo healing skill. It is easily interrupted, the heal-on-hit can be negated by blind/block/evade/invuln ultimately trashing your overall recovery. It’s a nice idea in theory but 1 second believe it or not is a long time when dueling primarily for thieves who cannot make mistakes without heavy punishment. Same reason I rarely run HiS, the cast time is a pain but even still it pays off more than skelk. Since you already have a ton of precision, you could get some vitality with valk and lose no crit dmg from gear, or get the zerker/valk mixed trinkets for that little bump (no full valk trinkets sadly). Hp is valuable to a thief, since it works on conditions and direct damage + thief has the lowest health pool. Toughness has nearly 0 use in a thief unless heavily invested.
The survivability of this build is not based on its health pool it is from the life siphon which is why I changed the armor to Zealot’s. Sure up front HiS is better than skelk but with life siphon and the healing from the skill you will heal about 1k for your next 4-kittens.
I already have a new build for april 15th:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vcAQFAUlUUpmq9dxkLseNSM6RnJ9mFVQ/feQX2CAA-TMAg0CnM4A
(Empty spot in explosives is the new gm trait, second sigil will be energy or aniother sigil, dont know yet how itll come out Also, not sure about runes ebcause of the changes… and assuming that SD bugs will be fixed… I know I´m a dreamer xD)Basically a new Tesla Coil build.
With turret detonation you do a nice amount of damage and also trigger SD.My current favourite build is the berserker hgh build:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vcAQFAUlcTp+qlYx6KseNiEqg9J6xjRZT2nHvFbBhA-TkAg0CnICSpjTHTQycs5MEBWas kind of excited about that nade build you have there until I saw you are using PvP accessories. Do you have one with PvE only items?
That could probably be done with either using valk accessories or just going all glass trinkets
I’m trying to make use of venoms in a solo build. It seems like used correctly they can work pretty well especially with life siphon. Sure it can be used well in groups but I would like to think that there is more than one way to use them. So far the build hasn’t been that bad for me. Also this build is mostly a power build not condi.
DV and BV have a place in any build as they don’t need any investment to be strong.
Question, what game mode are you using that in?
WvW
My shatter turret Engineer build
Not sure how viable this is, but it’d be fun to try out. I’m currently playing around with this as I level
I have never thought of that before… I need to try it. DESPERATELY
Few things to keep in mind with venom builds.
1. Mostly for group play, venoms on their own arn’t that great. The only venoms that work well without a venom share build are devourer and basilik. The others can be easily over rided by other sources or don’t bring nearly enough help to the thief.
2. Venoms power depends on the traits. For example, skale might provide more conditions/dmg than spiders, but if you have leeching venoms thats additional direct damage from each venom strike + healing. On my venom share build, I grant roughly 410 dmg for each venom strike. X 6 strikes from spider X 5 allies. Aldo since poison is being reapplied, their healing is going to suffer for that duration. Leeching venoms also adds defensive support with leeching venoms, and if you spread the uses out ( they do not stack healing) you can provide fairly long heal to allies.
3. Never use skelk venom unless you ’re running venom share. Its healing is aweful compared to withdraw and HiS. Even if you have 20% cd reduction the heal is just far too weak as a self heal. If used in a group, it pulls off impressive numbers.
4. Someone already answered this but, venom traits apply to venoms you share.
5. Ice drake venom is kitten. Not nearly long enough to stronger than devourer, and it is in the same place of movement condi clearing(war wh, withdraw, etc) so you might as well keep them still.
6. Venoms arn’t that good for condi dmg as they are utility. The torment isn’t worth investing for, and poison is easy to apply w/o spider. If your lookin for a condi build and plan to use venoms as apart of your DoT, don’t. There are stronger utilities that will pay off more. Not saying they do nothing but that they arn’t as viable atm for the purpose of DoT.
Hope that helps.

Sure it can be used well in groups but I would like to think that there is more than one way to use them. So far the build hasn’t been that bad for me. Also this build is mostly a power build not condi.
So the more and more condi tanks become op the more build diversity falls. Post builds that you have the most fun on (particularly in wvw and pvp). Not necessarily the best builds (maybe not even good builds)but builds that can be played for a while without being boring.
I was also wondering about this, and even opened a post about it, although i still think Skale venom is stronger than spider’s, Just because it can easily mean an almost instant 25stacks of vulnerability plus the hard-to-come-by torment. Spiders would just end up being… overlapped.
EDIT: Oh and i’d also swap the shadow step for smoke screen and grab de 20% deception reduction, from a PVE perspective taht is.
Still, spot on!
The reason I run Spider venom is to kitten with heals as this is a mostly WvW build thanks for the recommendation though may try it.
Looks ok but do you have full ascended like the build shows?
That being said, I’m not keen on Venomous Aura unless running condi build.
I wish need to rebuild it how I have it new to gw2skills usually use build calc
fixed it
So I noticed Skelk venom after my long absence from this game and decided it was time for a venom build.
The build:
With a group: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vYAQRAsY8anMJSpT29EGNB/TmQ2KUhcPMKo6p0eQT2UMB-zUCBYfDimWGmwAg+AkQAK5pIasVRFRjVXDT5iIqOAwBADP8wDP8wlC4phRA-w
Not in a group: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vYAQRAsY8anMJSpT29EGNB/ToI2FwpwoQ1/AZ1eQTbGTA-zUCBYfDimWGmwAg+AkQAK5pIasVRFRjVXDT5iIqOAwBADP8wDP8wlC4phRA-w
It’s pretty self explanatory. I’ve had a pretty good time with it so far. It’s mostly made for running with groups but for solo I would replace Venomous Aura with Shadow’s Rejuvenation.
(edited by Stewie.3549)
Yeah I see where Anet thought it would be cool and everyone would love them but after getting 2 shotted more than once by them they’ve lost their charm.
Is it just me or are people experiencing skill lag in EoTM?
This is the build I currently run based off of Itkoviana’s nade build in his video with intigo
(Food is Toxic Maintenance Oil and Marjory’s Experimental Chili)
The build works pretty well 1v1 and in group fights. Usually this build should be used by kiting and keeping some space between yourself and your opponent. It uses med kit over turret because it allows you to stack a pretty decent amount of might while gaining fury. Downside is this build has a rough time with condis. Only 1 condi clear and it can’t cure immobs. It also doesn’t have much healing. These cons make it so 1vx is pretty rough. Any suggestions are welcome as I’m tired of condi tank builds.
Sad how hard it is to tell the difference between roaming guilds and zerging guilds in this tier. Must be fun to take on 3 people with 15 and call it roaming.
Bags Will be streaming as much as we can for this matchup

I see FA has learned how to properly take towers.
Anyone else experienced this? Some games can take less than 15 minutes to get in and out of support. Hell, I’ve had a single person run vpn service have better, faster support than this.
Contrary to popular belief, sbi actually has the most skilled yaks.
Cant sell gems either. I get the screen for buying and selling but the tabs are greyed out.
Same here and I can’t purchase gems as well.
Fun 3v3s 2v2s and 1v1s with PPK.
You got a five minute fight of me giving up fighting a tank ele, and then a fear bomb necro beating me a glass thief. Congrats.
its the best we have….i love power necro but theres a reason im condition… (welll celestial)
No I’m saying there is no chance of a glass thief beating a fear bomb necro unless the necro really sucks.
use your stun break on the first long fear they put on you -> dodge the signet -> cleanse -> 2 shot the necro
that’s how I beat em atleast lol, what traits you using Stew?
I’m trying s/d so my burst isn’t as great as it could be.
My traits are:
10, 30, 0, 15, 15even with sword 2, shadow return, and lyssa you lack the cond cleanse to beat that build. I’d switch to a 0/30/10/15/15, mug is great but not nearly as good as the IV trait in SA.
I would do that but it drops my burstability and I hardly stealth s/d.
Anyone down for a fight club for…idk like 8:30 server time at the windmill?
Sounds good to me.

[BAGS] y u no win to [SIC]?
0 DPS and you are dead?
Who are you talking about? At SW tower they only managed to kill 3 people (none of which were bags) when they had us 2 to 1. If you’re talking about the duel because I assumed the ele wouldn’t be so blind as to not stop after a few minutes of me kiting and doing nothing.
(edited by Stewie.3549)
To d/d bunker [SIC] ele who was dueling me outside of NE tower on SBI BL. Why did you keep going after I stopped moving and doing anything? The fight was going nowhere as you had 0 dps.
Not a fun matchup to attempt to learn s/d s/d on my thief in…
Well this seems like a fair matchup that can go to anyone.
/sarcasm
snip-long winded QQ.
Omg man dat WvW… So srs… Nobody can haz fun mkay? No horseplay guyz pls ppl get dem hurt feelz u know..
Seriously dude calm down.. First of all, 99% of the emote spam going on during your match was from ME all the /cheer/cry spam etc.. And it had NOTHING to do with you at all.
Also, I was the one who threw siege down on top of you after one of your rounds.. That had nothing to do with anything just to do it..
Try not to be so sensitive, everyone is just being silly having a good time..
Oh and DDLG good 1v1 with me during a break between your rounds… Too bad I forgot my foods..
I saw you emote spamming, but it wasn’t just you. I can’t say for certain who threw down the blueprints, but it was more than one time.
And yes, it is a game where you get to be silly and have a good time. At the same time, though, someone has spent hours motivating, training, and teaching people to do something as a group. Losing isn’t fun, and it is childish to add numerous insults after injury. That’s what gets people kittened off.
I’m pretty sure we can keep the forum warriors on lockdown, not many people even look at the forums anyways. DDLG has a thing with IoJ and pretty sure it is match-ups like this when the trolls come out to play, too bad they only do it on forums…
You’d be surprised how many lurkers there are reading this thing. And it sure doesn’t appear that you have any sort of lock down on your guild. Either that or your entire guild is full of trolls and you can only keep 95% of them from being kittens both in-game and on the forums. Either way, you are giving yourself a bad reputation.
I can say for certain almost all of what you are talking about was done by 1 to 2 people in the guild.
and yet in this thread alone I can count more then 1-2 forum trolls. To be honest I don’t find anything wrong with trolling but know some bounds man…I mean seriously starting drama in games is just ridiculous and nobody wants to deal with it.
Also when a guild has leaders that are doing the trolling then what do you expect those ranked under them to do? Don’t encourage it, lead by example and maybe one day you too can have friends
idk I still find forum trolling hilarious and anyone insulted by it needs to take a break from the computer.
There’s a difference between harmless trolling and making direct insults to people. This may be a game but there are real people who play these. And if it’s so “fun” insulting us every chance you get then I think you are the one who needs to take a break from the computer and learn some etiquette.
No insults from ddlg thus far have been directed at people. Just them in game. Even then stop taking these things so seriously.
except your guild posts videos saying how bad we are. But I guess those aren’t insults…
Although I hate continuing this thread as this matchup is very over by now. Yes we have insulted how bad you are. Taking that so seriously is your choice.

I’m not one to care about PPT, but i honestly hate versing SBI-.-
Since all these transfers, i rarely ever get even numbered fights when i run 10-15 man groups with my guild.. The only guild who give great fights and actually stand out of the 70 man zergs in BEAST. So yeah, i’ll be in Yaks BL for most of this week just looking for good fights.It’s funny when other servers act as if they never have zergs.
I don’t think you’ve ever seen an enemy 80 zerg. You guys have them quite a lot!
I didn’t see any huge SBI zergs last night during reset. You’d think that would be primetime for an 80 man zerg, especially since those are supposedly our forte.
You guys always complain about the new SBI transfers, but what you fail to realize is that we do our own separate guild events and tend to avoid huge zergball stuff. For instance, DDLG ran two groups last night, with each consisting of less than 20 members.
Guess that 70 man DDLG zerg in Bp’s bl tonight doesn’t count? (Idk if true but ive been told about it)
If I counted our current roster I doubt that 70 people in ddlg have transfered from dr to sbi yet.

And BTW, this is WvW not 1v1 arena.
