Watchwork Mechanism prices are up to 9gold a piece now. (2×250 Sprockets 8g50s)
9 gold x 6 exotic armor: 56 gold.
I think this is still a problem.I go completely the other way here. That’s a few, very casual days, of farming or running Tarir meta (gold to buying sprockets). If you have the watchwork sprocket pick and/or the home instance sprocket generator, it’s even faster. If you’re serious, it can be done in less than a day.
Are entitled people just looking for instant gratification here?
Yeah, Im a lazy slob sloth. A few Tarir, right
íagain asking for THE EXOTIC VEWRSION to be less of a cost from the Sprockets side. Jesus do you even read?

I think this is still a problem.5 vials of powerful blood are currently running around 4.2g total on the TP. Whereas the Watchwork Mechanism is around 8g (according to GW2Spidy).
On one hand you could say: “the WM is almost double the price of its berserker counterpart!!!”
On the other hand you could say: “it’s roughly only 4 gold difference. 4 gold doesn’t take that much time to earn in the game.”
I don’t think this is the problem you do, sorry. Even celestial equipment requiring 125 quartz crystals each (costing an estimated 12.42g on the TP, plus a 5-day total time gate for each piece of equipment) is still doable.

Berzerker counterpart is 42K karma. I have almost over 1 mill Karma.
Quartz at least can be farmed: 3 nodes, 1 Skritt queen Rich node, 1 home instance node. The only way to acquier sprockets is to farm the Generator (12-18 daily) in home aaaaaand thats about it. OR to BUY a 1000 GEMS minepick.
So without spending 20 bucks to make it faster, lets calculate shall we?
Lets say we get 15 on average. 500/15 =33 days a piece or 8-9 gold.
Compare it to the low low cost of Berzerker meta armor for the total of freaking nothing 42K Karma.

Im getting really tired of ppl telling me how to play the game and in what gear. I already play the most efficient stuff on 3 toons. Sue me for tryin to be clever with a build
If you don’t post complaints about how hard it is to craft the gear you want, people won’t respond with alternatives and easier to make options. You’re inviting comments by posting in a public forum, then complaining that your post gets responses.
Try harder next time, don’t be so obvious about it.
I showed my complaint and also added my own solution. I invited ppls opinion on my solution or to offer something constructive to achieve a 6piece exotic/ ascended zealot set. Not to tell me how I should play my characters. This is about gear acquisition,as the title shows, not builds or play-style. End of argument.
Can we get a Dev comment, that they intend to change/fix this? A lot of traits are unpickable because of this. Guardian builds are already narrow as kitties. This only makes it worse

Like I would like to play Tempest in melee range and sustain myself with heals (also allies), while doing realtively good dmg.
But yeah I KNOW >.> That is not the build on metabattle. booohoo
Again Willy hears ya, but Willy don care.
Anet mentioned, that they would like to improve the acessability of different armor stats. Now lowering only the exotics requirement ain’t that big of a deal. And like you said “Just flying by pointing out that to craft zerker insignias the cost is roughly the same and no one has complained.” Sure lets make a sub-favoured armor the same price like the highest bought and most popular, stat that 100% works. Seems logical

Im thinking about makin it for either my tempes for aura healing or guardian for a pure of heart block healing build with aegis spamming (if they fix the overlapping block bugs). Both full set also wepons I only have the generator and also working on the aetherblade backpack so yeah…
Gated gear is gated.
25g plus the rest of the mats Im only asking for exotic.

How about this one?

Tanky as kitten, I can walk in and out and give aegis all the way Breaking aegis gives a lot of healing. this would be useful for smaller groups tho :/
More power version:

ty for the input, thread closed

Now that was a proper awnser, and for that, thank you!
What about healway builds? Can it be viable in zerging, while also netting bags?
My oroginal idea was to fit a role where I can “protect”/buff/or even heal the frontline while surviving a lot (blocking) → also with that tagging every enemy for a nice little bag of goodies.
Sorta like a walk in walk out while being useful and also tagging up the enemy. I dont want to be the holy trinity in one package I want to be the one who can prevent zerg wipes or even prolong the inevitable.
I had the same idea some time ago, but with a difference, i used power instead of condition.
But what i can comment on is: mace/shield with:
HONOR: invigorated bulwark(+healing on block)——pure of heart(heal on aegis block—-writh of persistence(heal while on symbols)plus stalwart defender (shield trait +240 thoug.) from VALOR,
i had so much fun in wvw frontline fights, if u can properly time your blocking skills u have atleast 450 perma healing, when i play that build with defensive gear im always one of the last to be killed while we wipe in wvw,
For a more offensive (berserker with trapper runes) build i running dragonhunter for LB/ Mace+shield = virtue leap in->land traps-> block and run TP to the backline with merciful intervention!
Another thing i could suggest to you, if change sword for something else or swap judge intervention with smite conditions or contemplation of purity,u already have a “leap”(sword 2), and merciful intervention to TP in the back and if u are going to be frontlike wvw, u are going to need something more defensive(smite condition low CD healing/condi remover) or a defensive stunbreak (contemplation of purity)
As for the DH one, maybe is something im gonna try but in a different way :
i will concentrate on aoe burning (VALOR burn from symbols) and maybe it’s fun!
or maybe it’s not! we’ll see.
If you would like to experiment on builds hit me up (I ll add you too)! I would love to get some funky zerg frontline builds off of ya
No input on the basic question Great

Having no opinion is an opinion I guess
I dont see them builds posted
Currently on YB but after Alpine BL hits the fan I ll move to SBI to be with my current guild for WvW occasional roaming. The problem is when Im on, WvW maybe holds up 20-30% of my playtime, so focusing on finding a WvW zerg fest guild aint a good idea for me
Plus I cant believe there are no EU guilds (other than WvW off time coverage ones) on NA servers, that do Pve stuff.
Im open for all suggestions
Im in the same boat in need of an EU guild
Hungarian but at least same timezone. whisper me
Any builds would be nice. I don’t even know how to start. Viable builds pls, and a link with a build editor would make it far far easier I was think about something with salvation traitline included for the blind, might be fun, no idea.
Thnx in advance!
What you need is Signets of Power (trait), Conceal Defeat (trait), Signet of Shadow (util), Blinding Powder (util) and Staff
34 (Dust Strike) — learn the rotation and you’ll have an endless supply of blind. My weapon of choice would be Staff and P/P. With P/P, you can perma-blind a single target.
Just post the build mate
True – looked it up on your buildsheet and they added CiS into it already.
What revenant build you were talkin about (the one that does a better job than thief with blinds)? You got me curious
One last try: When do you stealth?
When you steal with Hidden thief, granted you won’t get additional blind on that.
If you use BP and Heartseeker – blind included.
If you use Hide in shadows – has got blind in it.
If you use Blinding powder – surprise you have blind.
Also Shadow Shot has got blinding powder.
The only reason for a D/P thief to take CiS over Srej is that they want to roam the new borderlands and not being afraid of falling damage, other than that CiS is a wasted trait for a D/P thief – and believe me life as a thief without SRej is tough!
Hide in the won’t have bind but you’re right Thnx for the explanation
I dont know yet so far my heart pulls me towards something like this:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vZEQNAoaVn0MBlPhFOBmOBkmiFkiau9r/9nrBCgBwLHuheA-TVCFABEcKASS5XG6CURVA5V75+9HA4JAkmWA+UCSKgI2ZB-w
CiS feels right for me. I ll test it out and change accordingly
Interesting! I’ll try to look into it, my rev is already underused! Also my Thief is for only grouped encounters, I have no intentions to solo roam WvW! I am waiting for the balance patch, but still couldn’t help myself but to find this gimmick and try to build around it Thnx for the input!
This would make a whole trait line forgettable for the condi builds. The problem is I would only take it for the arrows, but It dosen`t offer anything else for condi builds. Also I thin Chase yours would break pve Babysteps
