bump! level 80!…..annnnnd still looking for a guild on henge of denravi =*(
is the some site(s) i can check to browse guilds or something?…..the ones i have seen have not been updated in months.

also any tips on finding a decent guild would be great, because i have to be doing something wrong….i usually dont have this much trouble finding one

bump
also level 55 now!

flow.6043:

Do you really have 2 superior sigils of blood lust? They are the most expensive sigils there are! Also, the stacks can’t go beyond 25. So carrying 2 might be overkill and you lose out on potential damage when you reach the 25 stacks.

no im only level 46….i have the yellow ones (major?)
also thanks for the build advice…..question tho…what about scepters? or stick with axe?
i have no idea since i hear axe sucks or is godly depending on the day/forum poster lol

as for the commander icon i generally look for that, but to me it seems there a “max distance” from where allies “green dots” will be shown on the map or mini map….for example last night i was following a zerg….i died and respawned at the begining of the eternal battlegrounds map (bottom left-ish) . i went back to where we were but they had moved on and i spent a good 20 minutes or so trying to find them, then gave up…map chat on my server is not active/non existant when i have tried to WvW

i just started getting into WvW and i like it so far…but my biggest problem atm is finding out whats happening on the huge maps…specifically where people from my server are at…can someone give me any tips so i can find the action faster?
i check contested areas but that sometimes doesnt work out
also is there any giveaway at what map to select?(mostly to find people from my server)

thats makes sense, as i heard people in WvW constantly saying things like “lol upleveled people”… “go level lololol” and similar nonsense lol

i would like some advice on a build(s) that i can use for pve and/or WvW
im currently level 46 and am using axe/dagger and staff
heres my build currently…note the runes and sigils i currently have are the lesser versions of whats shown http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mcVzzm0zMoRMhMoRMhMwaa9MmMV9m8kiH7khA7kiH7070M7kIN70M7kIF70M

for pve i do ok….but i feel im doing something terribly wrong in WvW as i get stomped by pretty much everyone

also on a side note does a upleveled character have a disadvantage over a actual lvl 80 character? (assuming equal skill) if so why?

edit: re-rolling works as well if someone can suggest a class/build etc….to be clear im not looking to “roflstomp” people or be a “pvp god” but id like to hold my own against 1v1 burst them down/whatever then move on to the next target and not need to rely on a zerg to progress anywhere meaningful in WvW… for example say i wanted to take this supply depot while no one on my server is organized/in the map id like to have a chance at doing it, rather than it being impossible/not likely

im looking for a organized guild(doing fractals,WvW,bounties, guild puzzles etc on a regular-ish basis)
a guild thats social would always be welcome to… as im tired of nothing happening in my current one (chat wise or event wise)

im not into guilds that have mandatory requirements…for example on 7 days a weeks for 5+ hours etc, although im usually on quite a bit (just dont want it to feel like a job)

im on henge of denravi, unable to transfer at this time

Jornophelanthas.1475:

The jumping puzzle in Gendarran Fields features veteran enemies, as well as small rooms. The staff is a very bad weapon choice in tight spaces (especially against tough foes) because it works best at range, and has a slow attack speed against single targets. I’m guessing it’s the ghost pirates with pistol attacks that are tearing you up?

—i wasnt using a staff at this point…and yes it was the pistol pirates…. i went from full to dead in like 4 seconds…wich in turn led me to switch to staff because i thought D/D was bad or i was or W/E

My advice is to equip daggers when going into tight spaces with little room for maneuvering (like caves). A little extra Toughness could also help (even though your Water traits give decent Vitality). Have you considered equipping Signet of Earth as a utility skill (for its passive effect)? Or other defensive skills like Arcane Shield or Mist Form?

i dont use elementals because i dont like the cooldown for as long as there up…im using signet of fire…though im thinking of switching to the passive heal one (under the healing utility section) the AoE arcane blast…for derps and combos and the single target arcane missle….i dont know what else i could/should use in rep[lace of that

for my elite skill im using the grenth one…though it seems a bit lacking

i am currently a 36 ele using a staff my points are http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mcsc9cz9qaV0a0om
gear is pretty much green (masterwork) with power/precision…with a few crit damage pieces mixed in…. now i was using D/D and it was going pretty well until 32 then i started getting rolled trying to do a puzzle in gendarren fields…i feel very squishy and its annoying sometimes….challenge is good but getting rolled over and over isnt fun
any spec advice/attunement i should be using while leveling etc would be helpful

no one on denravi is recruiting?
also re-rolled a elementalist since i found out the mist area and like there playstyle better

i am looking for a guild on the denravi server to level with teach me the ropes, goup with etc…
-here a little bit of what im looking for in a guild…(ideally)
-mature guild- i dont mind profanity or anything i just hate drama…theres probly always going to be drama at some point, but the less the better =)
-looking for casual to semi-hardcore mindset—as long as there is no attendance policy per raid week or anything….booting inactives is one thing but booting someone that has a life/cant make raid, is another….raiding was my second job when i played wow and i wont be doing that again
-ACTIVE!…i understand people have there own playtimes etc…but i dont want to be the only one on for 12 hours straight (for example) also daily/weekly stuff, such as WvW night, PvE night etc is also good
-im more PvE focused, i have not done WvW as of yet, but if its anything like RvR in warhammer i will be doing it alot (loved rvr!) so a mix of pve/WvW focused is ok
-people willing to help/answer questions…i dont do either often but when i do, i dont need “LOL WTF NEWB?!” either…again….maturity
-some sort of guild structure: ranks, rules, event times, website, voice chat…etc
as in my experiance guilds that lack any or some sort of structure tend to not last very long
thats about all i can think of at the moment…=)

thanks taril

what about the other pets? like flesh golem or spectral shade or whatever? im asking if they get better as they level i.e blood minion/bone minion or if i will be using a combo like flesh golem/exploding dogs etc….the bone minion/exploding dogs just seem meh to me atm…
also i just started so i have no idea what “wells +power build is” im currently putting my trait points in spite
—in response to bas i understand there minions…and most games i have played the necromancer usually has something to sacrifice the minion to gain health and/or explode them for dmg….im just saying they dont seem to do much at all

so should i be specing into something that gives me minion health as i level? or…???

im a new player, currently at level 13. im curious if the necro pets get any better.
i tested out each minion i have and they all dont really seem to do anything besides a few dps here and there so do the later pets get any better/more useful? or is this a problem all the way to 80?

yes akamon i was talking about the actual insignias…i looked it up on the wiki and found what items upgrade actual equipment.
i must say tho im digging the crafting alot…i like crafting in mmo’s in general (except EQ 2) its simple enough but with the discovery aspect and the use of insignias it adds for more customization….wich is always good

thanks again, loving this game so far =)

ok tried doing that and it didnt work it says on the gear “unused upgrade slot” i clicked on the insignia…nothing right clicked the item…nothing…..am i trying to use the wrong item for that slot?

thanks for the reply!
now what about low level blues? still sell them?
also how do i put insignias in items i crafted?

i just started playing the game for a few hours last night, i made a necromancer and picked up tailoring so i can make armor/bags as i level up instead of buying them of the trading post (as i find bags are usually pretty expensive in mmos) im currently level 4 and still learning the ropes and dont really have an idea of what else would be most beneficial to my necro.

also as a tailor what should i be salvaging? and selling?
