Guild Wars 2

Fun fact; the last few patches have all been on Tuesdays, so I’m betting it’ll be the 25th or 2nd.

Hello there fellow necromancers!

I’ve recently started leveling a necromancer and should hit level 80 shortly, and was thus wondering what sort of ascended accessories/rings/amulet might be something to aim for if I want to play an assortment of builds (conditions/healing/power/tankytank). Are the ascended things that give +all stats a good choice, or are there other combinations of stats that are useful/core in any build I might want to try?

If you’re looking for a guild on Darkhaven, this is the place to be! Good people and instant chat-explosion if you mention precursors or quaggans.

Hi there!

I’m looking to start doing all sorts of dungeons for the sake of variety (trying to avoid speedruns and skipping, although this is proving rough), and I was pondering what most rangers use in dungeons. So far, I’ve just been going with a generic archery build with piercing arrows and a bunch of signets for good measure, but I’d like to explore some other builds if possible.

Is it viable to go melee with either a greatsword or a one-handed sword in dungeons, or would I melt to incoming damage to quickly? What builds are you people using for general dungeoneering?

I find the ranger to be a pretty fun class, but I’m never sure what sort of armour I should be aiming to get, so I figured I should ask the people with a few more hours than me in the rangering business.

Are traps only really useful if I have geared myself with condition damage, and are traps viable in dungeons?

Also, does a ranger geared/traited for conditions do comparable damage to a berserker ranger using whatever traits/skills a berserker ranger uses?

Thanks!

I tried doing as suggested and it worked. Thank you very much for the help.

Does transmuting still work if I want to move my Anomaly-skin from one character to the next? I used a stone on it and it’s still soulbound, which makes me rather worried.

Can I safely transmute berserker’s stats onto my Bolt, or would this mess it up and make the potential future legendary patched stats not apply to it?

I’m not sure why ascended gear lists their stats in that manner, because you get both sets of stats from the get-go. From what I know of the matter, the stats in white below are the compensation-stats for what you lose out on because you can’t put an upgrade (jewels and stuff) into asended pieces.

Interesting stuff.

I’ve never touched the Inspiration line much; how much does Restorative Illusions actually help? What kind of healing does it do?

The mesmer’s falling damage trait is definitely good in certain situations. Having another trigger for chaos storm means you get more aegis, which is always nice.

Yup, I’ve got all of those explored 100% too.

Ah, nevermind. With all the server rotations and such in WvW, it appears I was missing full completion of one of the borderlands, but thank you.

Hello there,

I’m working my way towards 100% map completion, but I appear to have hit a bit of a barrier regarding the last few points. At the moment I am missing a single skill point (one of the many bugged ones in Orr), as well as a puzzling four points of interest and seven vistas, though I believe I have gone through every zone I’ve seen on the map, getting 100% in each one. And yes, I do have the POI in the chantry. Am I going to have to go through every single map looking for unexplored caves and the like, or is there some map somewhere that I have completely missed?
