Burnzerker is not the only build that can get above 30k dps on VG https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEdIfhuEe7o

The new meter can be pretty unreliable. I’ve gotten over 60k dps on sabetha on condi war. I know there is a bit of cleave in the fight but I doubt the dps was that high.

This was just one of the screenshots I have from sabetha. http://puu.sh/maXLG/91338b712c.png

DH ran gs/lb. Guard doesn’t need to contribute to the breakbar. Revs and engie can take it down really quick on their own. On Gorseval guard is just filling a dps roll. So just do your normal dps stuff. Aegis the smashes. Stuff like that.

You can tell when Gorseval is going into breakbar. It’s the first thing he does at start then it’s after every erode and ghost transition phase. I usually just went for my burst during the breakbar but make sure your healer can keep you up or you’ll die to retal.

We beat gorseval with a scrapper tank and dh dps so…. Can people just stop with these certain classes have no place in raids threads?

Lol why? I voluntarily left my guild raid as people said they needed something like a chronomancer instead. This means even in general groups, running these classes is at best optional and only is allowed if the rest of the group can make up for the damage or only needs damage and nothing else. You have some anecdotal experience and might be part of an exceptional raid group. But not everyone is going to be at that level so they are going to be more willing to part with less useful classes than improve individually.

You only need like 6-7k dps to beat these bosses. That’s far from an optimal rotation on any class. Any class can be used in raids. It’s more about tactics and individual play. Not the classes you bring. I’ll admit there is a base comp of like 5 classes that make raids alot easier but there are a wide variety of classes that can fill any role. Hell tempest is a better healer than druid but so far everyone has used a druid.

Most people complaining their class is bad is because they can’t beat vale guardian.

When over half your party went down at the end. I thought it would be a downed state kill but most of you got up

Glad to see zerker still meta. Did you really need cele guard?

Just need some toughness to control the boss. Just wanted to clear but could probably do it in berserkers with like 1 or 2 knights trinkets.

unless they changed pistol whip(pw) on tuesday’s patch, I am 99% confident that pw does not break deep freeze stun. I always do instant double freeze on mossman/ first archie with thieves guild, mug, double PW, and warrior tremor. Everywhere else defiant stripping in my opinion is a waste of time.

CCs that remove Defiance won’t break the Deep Freeze. If whatever you’re fighting doesn’t have Defiance, is Deep Frozen, and you CC it again, then it will break the Deep Freeze.

Use your brain, [Stuns overwrite Stuns] so if you use the Basilisk Venom CC it will break the deep Freeze….

You’re missing the entire point of defiance.

I’ts the same as arah p2 skip at belka no reason it shouldn’t be allowed if that is.

We tried fighting foreman spur on top but he always spun right after we started fighting regardless of if he was frozen or not so it was rather inconsistent. It got pretty messy with him spinning around plus all the adds and would take longer in the end than just pulling and baiting the first one out. One thing we didn’t try was fighting the adds first while someone baited out spin that’d be faster maybe but idk that could go to kitten pretty quick.

Yea sorry we forgot that to be a record there has to be a mesmer “obviulsy”

It’s not like you can get really creative in these super linear paths where there’s 100 doors you have to clear to continue. There’s only so many ways you can do something. You’re waiting on dialogues most of the time anyways or your team gets teleported ahead if one person triggers the threshold.

The previous record is still from the fgs meta so idk about inflated dps really. Fgs is comparable to now or even slightly better still. The only difference comes on trash mobs which are just trash mobs.

Showing the game build would of proven that it was after they fixed the 150 power on ele but I don’t have a problem with it.

That really isn’t triggering their pathing. They are just magically teleporting to you like the rock in se p3.

The door isn’t opened yet so that couldn’t of happened. They spawn at the bottom of the ramp and path up once you run past door. They just aren’t there though.

What happened to the group of kodans after the 2nd boss?

It’s a valid commentary. When I watch top players of any game I don’t understand play, I am 100% sure I miss all the nuance and depth of their game play. I don’t know why you think you’re different or why GW2 is different.

You are suggesting that I am not at the top of my game in PVE, and that I have only a rudimentary understanding of the game. That is a childish, and offensive thing to say, and not really any argument what so ever.

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

I play necromancer exclusively.

I’m so happy you melee’ed melandru. No offense to other guilds, or your own previous records, but the excuse that it was faster to range the boss was a complete joke and I’m glad you showed it.

I agree,
from the time you entered into the room, the whole set up and take down was just well played out. To me it was just a smooth burn and it showed. I personally think it was one of the highlights of the whole run.

Again Well done legion!

Power block was the game changer, without it melee times are close to range times.

Plenty of face palm moments at just about every boss/run.

Nice run

I’m presuming leigon of doom is a mistype, not a parody guild :P

Ather is just on the spelling level of a 3 year old.

Those p4 speed runs when the entire team ranges melandru for 10 minutes

Or maybe, you know, campaign for the undesirable classes to be made better instead. You know, make rangers, necromancers, and mesmers useful to stack just like warriors or thieves instead of just bringing one for some niche utility.

Why would you stack warriors or thieves for utility? And why would you stack warriors at all?

lol

Way to read the post. You stack them for the damage, and you can bring 2 warriors for banner and vulnerability stacking if you’re gonna sit one warrior with banners.

I didn’t say you bring warriors and thieves for stacked utility. NICHE UTILITY APPLIES TO MESMER/RANGER/ETC. That is, spirits don’t stack effects so having more than one ranger is useless as spotter doesn’t stack either (the only 2 reasons you bring a ranger) and mesmer has heavy diminishing returns on reflect/time warp/portals as you only need so many and don’t want to kitten your damage because mesmer damage is trash.

Feel free to replace warrior or thief with conjure ele if you want, doesn’t change my point as I made sure to include ele/warrior/thief/guardian as the classes people don’t mind stacking because those are classes with far less diminishing returns.

And well, necro, everybody knows.

Warrior is a support class. You don’t bring multiple for damage.

my upload speed is under 1 mb/s dont make it more painful than it already is

Why is everyone hating on my music. Its a classic.

We didn’t plan on it but our engineer wouldn’t get online. We did come to the conclusion that there’s really no difference between the two. All the fights were roughly the same thief or engie.

Rising Dusk.2408:

If anyone sees errors with the records, or if you know of a more up-to-date record for any dungeon, please let me know either by PMing me or posting here so that I can verify it and fix it up. It took a lot of detective work to find the records strewn across a number of websites and forums, so I would be very suspect if I somehow got everything perfect.

For anyone curious, the “Guild” parameter in the records is pulled from the players. Some records are from people who were once in one guild but are now in another or something like that, so some records will show that they are being attributed to two guilds at once if there are members from both guilds in the record.

Also, I couldn’t find an HotW p3 record in the current meta, so if anyone knows of one let me know.

If the meta isn’t resetting from yesterdays update, LOD has the current meta records for hotw p2 and p3.

Also the CoF P3 posted is incorrect. I can’t remember if it was iV or qT but they beat the time that’s posted there by like a minute plus.
