Well, that’st it. Going to have to start leveling my Ele again. I’ve found that I’m just getting bored with the repetitive skills of the Warrior at this point. There are just so many things/strategies with the Ele that I can see myself enjoying it more.

How long are queues on your server?

Last night on SoS it was about 15-20 minutes at times for EB. Not happy when I got the audio bug that made me have to log out.

Great Q. I was wondering the same thing about leveling. My only question, is if people are going to get annoyed if I’m a lvl 45 warrior wanting to get in on AC explorable. People seem to want lvl 80 for explorables so often.

Just do the run with your main (80 exotic) then switch to the lvl 45 at the last boss instead which will make the run quicker than you doing the full run on the 45, just make sure you don’t open the instance or it will reset when you switch chars.

Ha, now all I need is a lvl 80 character! I guess I should just hope for people to run story modes until I get to lvl 80 I guess.

Looking for Active PvE/WvWvW Guild

in Guilds

Posted by: Teror.8940

Teror.8940

First off, I’m willing to move servers, but want be on one where under population isn’t an issue.

- I’m on about 15 hours per week or more
- Play all aspects of the game
- I did sPvP for a while so my highest lvl profession is a lvl40 warrior that I’m working to 80 right now
- Mostly interested in WvWvW and PvE (dungeons, etc.), but do like to sPvP too.

I’m really looking for a guild that’s active, communicates frequently (i.e. has it’s own site/forum/voice server), appreciates input from its members and realizes we all have lives outside of gaming.

My goal right now is to get to 80 as fast as possible on my main and start hitting WvWvW and dungeons regularly.

Oh, and I’m usually online from 8:30PM ish – 1AM EST on the nights that I’m playing.

Thanks!

Should I get an MMO mouse?

With movement being so critical to combat in GW2, I think the Naga is fantastic. I only use the keyboard to strafe, move forward heal and dodge (and the interact option). All abilities are on the Naga. But in the case of the elementalist, you’d still need to key one the attunement swaps.

I have large hands and can use all 12 buttons very well. With that and having the middle mouse button bound to target nearest enemy (as a melee warrior) I can move and attack very well.

How are you in WvW?

in Warrior

Melee is to be used in the right situations. But given the volume of players in large groups ranged is your best bet in WvWvW. Nothing wrong there.

Avoiding damage by staying ranged is better.

Offhand sword-Extremely lackluster and unviable?

I like the bleed of sword 4 in sPvP, but tend to not use it in PvE since the others are so much better.

I can only describe endgame, open-world PvE as "nightmarish"

Can you imagine if shatter also granted swiftness and an increase in movement speed to the clones and phantasms? It’s frustrating to just watch them leisurely jog after their shatter target.

Mesmer Skills Working?

Chaos Armor works 100% of the time, just the graphic does not show up. The buff icon shows up though. But some time you dont get the bubble.

Thanks. I’ve probably been killed while thinking, “maybe if I click it one more time?”

Mesmer Skills Working?

I have a list of skills and efects that are either not working for my Mesmer or are and are just completely useless. I try to post but I get errors so I’m just sayin, if anyone from Anet cares to respond to this I’d very much like to discuss this with one of you but I do know you’re all super busy already.

Chaos armor works about half the time for me…

Between mesmer, guardian and engineer... Any advice?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Teror.8940

Nice! Yeah like I mentioned I am tossing up between Mesmer, Guardian and Engineer. What do you guys think of those and what would u suggest? I usually fall back on melee more than casting or ranged combat but I am trying to stay open to anything as all the mechanics look good and I have decided to stay clear of warrior.

If you’re more into melee, go with Mesmer or Guardian. Then I’d say the decision comes down to how much sPvP/WvWvW you plan on. The Mesmer is great in sPvP and decent in WvWvW,but lacks some better AOE capabilities. I can’t comment too much on the Guardian since I haven’t rolled one. My first profession was Engineer, and I see that as a pretty much completely ranged class (but a fun one).

I’ve never had any trouble in PvE with the Engineer, but the Mesmer can be very challenging and easy to die. The Mesmer just takes more work than most classes, I just like the mechanics and abilities.

I haven’t felt that they’re OP that much really. Sure I can die to them, but I can die to other classes as well.

As a Mesmer, they’re probably wasting their time with my clones and phantasms.

I also have a thief alt, and do have to agree that they are much easier to play than some other classes, like Mesmer or Elementalist.

Tarnished Coast: are there a lot of RPers?

I’m on TC. And it’s a fantastic server. I was in the Silvari starting area yesterday and ran across about 5 or 6 players sitting on a giant lilly pad in the middle of a pool RPing.

Plus, the WvWvW is great as well as we’re always putting up a good fight or winning in the matches thus far.

Great server.

OMG If you only knew this - tips for new players

I found this out today: if you hold the right mouse button (as for turning), you can actually move by holding the left button as well.

Be careful with this in combat. If you left click anywhere while attacking, they you will have your target de-selected. Makes it not fun to try and focus another player or mob. I only realized this today, and am going to have to force myself to stop using both mouse buttons to move forward any longer.

I wish there was some kind of option to not let a left-mouse-click deselct your current target, unless you were clicking on another.

Mesmer Skill: Signet of Illusions bug (Passive)

in Bugs: Game, Forum, Website

Posted by: Teror.8940

Teror.8940

I’ve seen this bug too. Applying the buff as soon as the clone/phantasm spawns wouldn’t unbalance anything either. Bottom line is the the clones and phantasms just don’t last long enough to benefit from the delayed application of the signet’s buff.
