Guild Wars 2

A across the board amulet stat increase for me kills build diversity. Before the patch I had 3 sources of stats in order to mix and match ie amulet, runes and traits. Now I have only two, where now I can’t strike the balance I had previously.

Before patch I was able to have a zerker amulet and pick up some toughness and vit from my trait lines along with a rune to supplement. Now that’s gone.

Please add either ring lot jewelry and add the stat points that was in the trait lines into the rings preferably even split.

Thanks!

I don’t know if this has been brought up before. Is it possible to separate all armor skins from armor type so that we can truly customize our avatars using every available asset in game?

I don’t think it’ll cause any confusion or fuss if a element runs around with full plate armor skins or a warrior in cloth armor skins. The way things are with outfits, I never really pay much attention to what someone is wearing, going into a fight, I just glance at the icon next to their pic to know what class I’m facing.

So would it be difficulty to implement such a change in a future game update? I would truly love to mix and match armor skins from across the board on my toons.

Thanks for considering this request.

I’m using a roaming triple meditation build with GS/SF and I’ve read from time to time people mention a dps rotation for max damage. Anyone care to share their dps rotation?

Thanks.

Here is my build, full on glass with moderate health to give me abit of a buffer in condition fights.

If you want can replace Lighten Flash with Arcane Shield for abit more defense.

Just plain ole burst build. I only roam solo and sometimes duo. When solo roaming if the fight last longer than 30 secs I’m toast but a fun and very challenging build to play.

You know I posted in the wrong thread, sorry mate.

Thaddeus.4891:

Every profession have his pro and con.

Elementalist are already at the top of the profession in dungeon and are essential part of a Zerg. So i think its ok if they are at the bottom of the food chain in roaming/spvp.

You have no evidence to support your statement. Looking at the LFG post in-game will tell a completely different story. Most that ask for specific classes will ask for warriors, guardians and occasional mesmers. Sometimes for groups running AC they will ask for an ele specifically to use the ice bow on the burrows and that’s it. For the most part, the potential damage classes can do is near par and eles are asked to be on groups for damage, warriors are and they can tank the punisherment on top.

And the only reason eles are useful to zergs is because of the water fields and not it’s damage. And at that you only need just a few eles to provide water fields for the entire zerg the rest are just there for the added dps which every class is contributing too. If a commander could choose to have all warriors, guardians, with 2 eles for water fields and a mesmer or two for cloak/portal, they most likely would.

Your statement isn’t valid in the least. We are semi useful in some dungeons types and a water field generator for zergs therefore we should unjustifiably suffer in all other aspects of the game.

In addition to not having a core class defining defensive ability like EVER other class in game.

Anet said no trinity in game and as a result most of the game is built around that, except for the ele. It seems that Anet for the most part, still think of the Ele a traditional cloth caster able to burn down opponents before they can get within attack range. And that is completely not the case, with the amount of gap closers available to all classes. I would say the the Ele’s so called range advantage is a near completely nullified.

Other cloth caster like the mesmer and necros have great core mechanics that allow them to sustain a fight without sacrificing much of their offensive punch.

No trinity means, essentially means that every class has to the overall abilities to reach the same outcomes.

And yes I’ve read up on the upcoming additions of the new grandmaster traits and that’s all fine but they don’t address our core defensive deficiency without cause.

I’m probably not going to lay this out in a coherent manner but oh well…….

I’ve been playing since release my first 80 was an ele and since then I’ve played most other classes to 80. Of those classes I’ve done a great amount of WvW roaming with warrior, mesmer, guardian and ele.

I’m trying to understand what’s the compensation for the ele for having the lowest defense in game passive and active. Let’s face it, every class in this game can do great damage, every class can heal, and most classes have great defense….most.

Of the light armor classes (and maybe of most the classes) we’re the one lacking a class defining defense mechanism that properly compensate for our lack of passive defense.
Of the classes that I roam with warrior has great armor, great hp, great active defense (too numerous to list), and great damage; guardian has heavy armor, moderate hp, has great defensive mechanic (boons), very good damage, good hp; Mesmer has great damage, low armor, moderate hp, awesome active defense (clones, stealth); elementalist has great damage, low hp, low armor, and at best a moderate defensive.

So why does the elementalist has the worst defense in game again?

Maybe I’m missing something here and maybe some of you can shed some light on the matter for me.

Then again maybe I’m not making sense……

Thanks for feedback and I’ve incorporated suggestions. Picked up AH and signet/shout reductions traits.

I initially wanted to get as much condition removal as possible and lost focus on maximizing some skills. Hopefully, the sigil of generosity, signet of resolve and purity trait will do the job just find.

I’ve also swapped elite to Renewed Focus. With the shout reduction SY recharge is down to 48 secs and it grants alot of boons for 10s I find it hard to give that up.

The reason I have the bane signet is to just have another tool to help me maintain pressure on my target with the knockdown. At the core of the build I want to maintain as much pressure on my target hence the hammer’s ranged immobilize, sword number 2 and 3, Bane signet and judges intervention. All about reaching out and touching someone….repeatedly.

Thanks again for the feedback, more is truly welcomed.

I’ve been trying to come up with a build for my guard that has good dps, excellent combat mobility and decent defense.

I’m about ready to pull the trigger on this build but wanted feedback unless I missed something or have included a fatal flaw.

Hammer/Sword/Focus

Btw don’t if this is a copy of something throughly document.

Thanks.

Updated: For WvW Solo/Small group roaming. Btw my first time posting a build so be gentle.

Here is a pic of my guard, Ellisar Kingpriest.

Sharkey.9805 I’ll give your charr a 7.5. it seems like you’re going for a gentlemen type of look for your charr. Maybe it’s me but it’s something disconcerting about a charr in traditional human attire.

Here is my charr warrior “Draken Kingsroar”. He has a mix of cultural armors teirs 1, 2, 3, along with Jade weapons and Rox’s quiver. He’s primary color is orange shade with emerald green for secondary.

Isredel.4302:

“Viktor Rageclaw” I even have a character sheet! http://www.guildwars2roleplayers.com/forum/m/2737230/viewthread/5662241-viktor-rageclaw-sor-tc

Draco Dragonbane – DANOUDADAN! (if in the, “Bane Warband”)

Shendu Cursedfur – I’m actually going to give this a 5. I wouldn’t wanna be in a cursed warband. o.o

I’ll give Viktor Rageclaw a 8.5 good name and great character development.

My charr’s name is “Draken Kingsroar”.

Same exact issue……

Thank you both for advice and build. I’m changing up my traits and tactics as of right now.

Vangardian I will be contacting you, thanks for offer. I know I have alot to learn when it come to the guardian.

Yanna it seems your build is a pretty solid support shout build which I’m looking forward to trying out tonight. Think it’ll work out well with all the great cc the weapons choices provide.

I’ve essentially looking for a average damage with good tank/support build and what you posted Yanna might fit that.

Hi all,

I’m really loving my guardian and particular the sword, shield and hammer I’m using. I’m wondering is any has a build/advice they can share as I continue to develope. Btw I love the cc the hammer and shield brings and bit of damage and mobility the sword brings.

Look forward the responses and advice.

Thanks.
