Hey bean, I find I am rarly downed for 7sec to ever pop veng. Either I am revive, rallied or defeated. Even if I can pop my veng and kill a target there is a chance I would res anyway. I think its a little weak for fractals

You are correct in fractals Sweet is nearly useless. Trash isn’t what kills you, its the bosses. However, your build is low dps. Warhorn is nice when there is crippling amounts of conditions, but it is situational. Using a warhorn you don’t need the zerk stance+vigor. You simply don’t need to dodge that much, and learn to adren manage.

With your stats you are just a glass cannon that heals and buffs instead of going any damage. Party support is nice, but a good guard is going to do it better. Also, anyone who brings WB is just missing the point. It doesn’t last for a full fight on a boss, and if people are downed, one WB won’t help.

Force is better. Otherwise go with battle.

Care to back that up with numbers?

How to deal with D/D Elementalist

Pressure them with range. If they are a threat to you they are likely quite glassy. As the others have said, traited imob is great to help here. You need to connect one KD to bury a DD. I run A/M + LB. Wait till they close and you’ve worked off some health at a range, make sure to have shake it off equipped. once their blocks are down, smash them with a KD (mace 5 for me) burst and kd again if not dead (bulls for me) Shake it off will let you instantly retaliate when the think you are down and out.

Neither. Go for Giver’s and Fire. They’re both on-crit procs, but fire is the one that procs when you don’t have a condition to transfer to the enemy, giving you a nice combination of defense and offense.

Givers procs regardless of whether or not the player has a condition. Limited use as is.

Anyone who says not to stack something (power or precision for your type of build) is mad. Use a third weapon and swap it out once maxed. If your go down an lose them a lot, you need to work more heals in, with sigils of blood, food, or other build changes. a downed player is just a hindrance to any team. Learning to minimize that waste is a requirement.

Get 100% crit. It’s easy to do with sigil of perception and a weapon swap to accuracy. Sharpened Axes and the disp trait is too much adren. Drop one (axes imo), and more accuracy will keep the adren flowing. Add in the +Crit chance on adren level, and use the burst when it actually makes sense, rather than just spamming. Use it onto fields and the like. It’s a big number, but its DPS isn’t that great, there is a pause for the leap and a pause before the following autoattack.

Bloodlust is a true waste unless you have maxed your crit already +250 to attack modifier is small when its stacked to ~3000 Attack. Of course if your crit is near 100% without the precision stacker bloodlust is a must. Force is a waste, air or fire give more damage single target. Strength is capped at 5 str due to internal cooldowns, and is nearly worthless because of it. Bring on crit food and you can either stack might with no cooldown, or heal on crit. Heal on crit is a must for all glass players in dunge.

Long story short, crit is king atm, mainly due to crit procs. Use and abuse it.

Possible to refund karma gear?

A: Not a bug
B: It’s 42k karma, that would take less than 3 days to obtain in WvW, even if all you do is follow the zerg, and it’s even easier if you did dungeons/played the game at all.
C: Anet doesn’t refund for misclicks.

Superior Rune of Lyssa & Dagger Storm

It occurs after the elite is finished, doesn’t matter if its cast, channel or instant. Its to prevent cancelling midcast and going into partial cooldown. If your elite has a say 180 second cooldown you could break the cast 3 times after 50 seconds (to avoid rune cooldown) and then do a full cast to get the lyssa effects 4 times for one elite “cast” Very useful if your elite isn’t something you really want to spam. It would be nice to have it complete if it started prior to channeling (read long cooldown trigger) But it’s likely this was disregarded for some coding reason or another, or balance, or who knows what, but it isn’t a bug.

And little off topic but related to events: Karma banner’s and Boosters DO NOT boost Karma rewards…euhm…isnt that also a bug? thought that was what they where supposed to do…..

You are wrong about karma, the upper right icon does not change, but the actual karma pop in the center of the screen and the actual increase both are adjusted.

Grenth bugging at additional locations

Ambrose is still getting left behind at times at the cannon and other places (mostly staying with Footie) This has busted the cannon setup, and the travel to the Torch parts of the quest. Grenth only lasted 36 hours before bugging out this cycle. Is anything going to be done about this meta event, or is it going to continue to be something that can only be done Friday night and Saturday?
