Guild Wars 2

@Fay.2357

You’re speaking as if the average player possesses the skill to properly time distortions on VG greens, Gorseval floor panels (which would require a stop in rotation’s to pull off constant properly-timed distortions), and sloth shake (Which F4 easily covers), etc. You’re pointlessly glamorizing a traitline which is unneeded just for a 2 extra distortion spams of which the average joe, most of the GW2 population, has a hard time making use of/timing.

To your “10% invuln uptime” argument, that’s what the Healer is for. Hard distortions obviously used for heavy damage skills. But then you choose whether to push rotations, or give mediocre uptimes due to wanting to spam distortions at certain times.

Regarding your Alacrity comment, yes the vast majority of alacrity comes from Shield phantasms. But it requires Much more effort keeping it up on Domination traitline VS the Illusion line due to Phantasmal haste.

I do welcome you to post a vid of YOU maintaining your quickness and alacrity uptimes on a realistic scenario with your domination setup while pushing out distortion to the heavy skills that you’ve stated. Otherwise, I would prefer not to waste time, nor you wasting other people’s time with no personal proof and “This is better” arguments cause franky, either will work.

Anyway, I gave OP a quick and easy solution to his/her problems, which I know will also help most of the player base rather than spewing nonsense like
“Most people use the domination variant over the illusions variant. There are some situations where illusions is better, but in the vast majority of fights domination is superior due to the utility that distortion provides. Both can provide permanent quickness and alacrity of course.”
Which does not help him/her at all regarding the original topic “Help with Chronomancer in raids….” and “I need any advice, tips or simplfied rotations that i can use to not actually be a hindrance in a raid party…”

I’d like you to show me a vid of you providing “Permanent quickness and alacrity” while also saving skills to distort on-demand, aside from F3. And this “Most people” stuff is most likely exactly why OP is having trouble pushing rotations, cause he’s running something that “most people” are trying to run, and sadly I see alot of chrono’s out there not able to even keep up even 50% quickness uptime and barely any alacrity uptime. Trying to run pointlessly complex rotations and setups like “most people” is not a good idea..
And honestly if a team needs 3x distortion’s on-demand.. then meh.

Here you go. Rotations made easy.

About us:
We are a LFG-Type Fractal & Raid farming guild currently looking for more motivated members to fill in our ranks as raiders.

-All New-Joins are placed in the [Trainee] rank until mastery of 3 classes/positions is achieved. Once class mastery is achieved, they are placed in the [Raider] or [Fractal Striker] depending on area of interest. Class mastery requires members to meet certain DPS thresholds under realistic Boons+Buffs or maintain certain boons/buffs, ex: Perma Quickness on chrono, etc.

-We do not require Full Ascended equipment. The only ascended we require are trinkets*, the armor and weapons can be of exotic grade. **For support classes such as druid healer/chrono, Rare or better gear will suffice.

-We do not follow “META”, we run efficient and cheap builds that get the job done. If you are interested in joining, do know ahead of time that you will be required to gear up certain characters/classes for either Raids/Fractals.

-Voice Comm’s is a MUST*, we use Discord for communication/teaching/whatever. Microphone is not mandatory, but listening is.

-We train our members to meet minimum guild standards (DPS/Boons) for their classes. Higher-ranked members are eager to help lower-ranks achieve better results from DPS rotations, Boon Rotations, Gear, setups, etc.

Examples of the DPS Thresholds for [Raider] rank qualification:
————————————————-

Realistic Boons/Buffs:
25 Might
Fury
Spotter
Frost Spirit
3 Grace of the Land
Strength Banner
Discipline Banner
Empower Allies
+8% damage while moving food
+6%/4% Power Utility Food

4m HP golem with all conditions:

Tempest: Full ascended (Zerker) w/o infusions:
Staff: 25k+
D/Wh: 22k+
D/F: 20k+

Condi Ranger: (Exotic, 4 krait, 2 Trapper runes)
Axe/Torch: 19k+
Axe/Torch+Shortbow: 21k+

Note that these are just examples. [Raider] ranked guildies are pushing 2-4k higher than stated numbers. The thresholds will also change depending on the gear you use (lower threshold in exotics vs ascended, marauder vs zerker, etc)

Run Times:
Whenever we want. Usually before and after Daily reset (Fractal T4 Dailies)
Mon-Tues : Wing 1
Wed – Thurs : Wing 2 & a little 1
Fri-Sad: Wing 3 & a little of 2&1
Sunday: Farming wing 1 for Magnetite shard cap for those who need. Also alot of Fractal 40 Farmin (20-30g+/h)

What we are looking for:
Rangers: Condi Rangers, Druid Healers, Druid Tanks(Minstrels/Nomad)
Elementalists: Tempest (Staff-D/Wh-D/F)
Chornomancer: Zerker/Marauder Chrono (We don’t use chrono tanks)
Guardian: Dragon Hunter (Marauder armor or weapon pref)
Warrior: PS
Revenant: Standard Berserker geared.

Other classes are ok but will be low-priority for raids until further notice.

Bump. Looking for more casual elitists farmers pew pew.

Arth Thou Worthy [Wolf] Chronomancer PoV.

https://youtu.be/tjVQv-FuNP0

This run consists of:

4 [Wolf] Guildies + 3 PUG’s + 1 Friend. We sent Rover to find PUG’s for our team, and once he did, we took them to PvP and went over tactics, builds, rotations,etc for 20-35 mins before starting the runs.
—- 2 Run videos: 1st is a pre-kill video of us doing too much damage to gorseval during once of his phases, enough to bug him into invulnerability (Happens alot to us when we’re running 3+ condi warriors =/), and the next half is the actual kill vid.
—- Excessive swearing, so if you are easily offended, don’t watch it or mute the volume.

^^^^^
We honestly didn’t care that much about fully dps-optimizing the team aside from the condi warriors so basic druid build’s from our guild’s META comp are what we used, nothing fancy.
The chronomancer setup was tweaked a bit to provide enough boon duration so that effectiveness was still quite high without the +50% boon duration from a rev. PLATINUM DOUBLOONS FTW!

NikeEU.7690:

I love the sick brags about how easy the raid is. Sure, it is definitely easy when the strats for each boss are laid out for you along with builds. When you have to progress and defeat the bosses blind, thats the way to tell what is hard and what isn’t, not based on farmville mode.

Don’t know who you’re referring to, but I had to learn the hard way myself.
Countless fail VG’s, a couple hours watching vids I took to learn mechanics, memorize timing and finally beat him.
Gorseval – Countless PUG fails, again, watched vids I took of the fight, and finally beat him.
As for sabetha…

Man, all the typical BS in forums people bashing on someone.

OP you play in [NA] servers? I’ll take you through raids.

Talindra.4958:

Im a bit concern with how our team can manage the dps without gliding………

Hmmm? If you’re talking about phasing him before world eater kills the team, then here’s a couple of pointers:
—It might look simple, but this method still requires quite a bit of DPS. You won’t be able to do it unless you have the damage.
—Also, if your team is able to no-draft gorseval this way, it’ll be 2x easier to just do it normally and draft him.

I’m loving fractals as they are now, daily doable in 1h. Don’t care if it’s all swamp => I can do other fractals extra if I want, no problem.

To say that you hate the low level skill of players is a very short sited thing to say, new fractal system is bringing in a lot of new players, which means more fractalers. And they’ll learn.

And fractals is great content for practicing for raids (new builds new classes or just being new). It’s not too easy, it’s not too difficult once you got the skill.

Fractal dailys prepatch(20, 30, 40, 50) were done in less then 1.5h wtf are you talkin about….

With lucky rolls yes, old fractals under 1.5h (9-19-21/29-40-49/50) For me with a set Guild team, but with pugs and not-so expert players its 2-3h. I don’t know what you’re talking about.

New fractals? takes my team roughly 30-45 mins tops. with PUGs who stay the whole duration, under 50-60 mins still. HUGE difference in time, and better rewards. Then we can do w/e we want with all the TIME we have on our hands compared to old fracts.

Don’t try to act like an elite wannabe, fractals now are Waaaaaaay better than they used to. Better for the general population and player base, less stress on the average Casual player which far out-number all the so-called “elites” who cry and whine about them being too easy.

so the fastest solo lvl 50 i did were below 45mins. the fastest duo i did below 20mins and you wanna tell me it isnt possible to clear full run in under 1.5 hrs in a Pug group?

The rewards arent better since the update i got no ascended chest and no fractal skin….

No one cares about your times, generally most PUG’s can’t do that not nor don’t really care. It is possible to hit fast times on old fractals with PUG’s, yes, but that’s VERY few teams. You’re just speaking for yourself. The general populace benefits more from the current fractals and that’s a fact. Most people are casual and don’t have that much time to waste on 1 piece of in-game content = Fractals. They can do so much more with their time after clearing the new easy-mode fractals, which is why this is a wonderful thing for ANET to do, everyone wins.

Elitists / Hardcore players are the loud minority in this game, the General casual players are the silent Majority.

With your current team setup, you can just change 2-3 classes and probably overhaul most of the teams gear(if you haven’t done so already) at the cost of 15-30g per player and achieve more than satisfactory results.
Just get w/ me in-game and bring your team, a few hours is all it should take to make a fully-geared, well-trained, safe and effective team (Player skill varies but minimizing/reducing risk of fail is what I love doing & am good at.)

BTW you’re NA / EU cause im NA

Hmm.. I could lend a hand. Is your team open to improvement? If so I could tweak your stuff and train some of your key classes to be more effective and score some easy kills for you on the first 2 bosses(I’ll need 2-5 hours for the whole team).
I’ve got 80+ kills each on VG + Gorseval. (Boredom runs ftw)

Oh, also looking for more guardians, and maybe daredevils as dps sources for raids.

I love the blocklist. 100+ on it, and people will never get off of it.

Arth Thou Worthy [Wolf]

Hey, I’m one of the higher-ups of my guild (No leadership, ranks based on skill) and I am looking for some guardians for RAIDS! yes RAIDS!

Who:
LF players who play guardian(obviously) and have a slight knowledge of Raid mechanics for the first 2 bosses (Vale Guardian + Gorseval)
—Kill exp doesn’t matter, just know how to follow calls and evade a couple things.

Why?
— I am always experimenting with team comps and other people’s bodies and now I want to do a team centered around Guardian Damage (Not 10-guard team, but most DPS sources will be from guardians)

Gear Requirements:

Exotic Armor – Zerker or Marauder* (Marauder is preffered, easy, cheap, effective, higher survival, same damage)
—-Ascended armor is NOT required (It’s just a waste of gold unless you’re doing Fractals)
—-Ascended Weapons (Marauder/Zerk)
—-Ascended Trinkets (Full set is preferred, but half/half exo/asc is minimum)

If any Guardian’s are interested, Mail me in-game and send 1 walnut and only 1 attached @
Storage Hamster / Heroic Hamster / Chrono Hamster / Woodland Hamster / The Hamster

You can’t go wrong with full exotic Magi. Great survival and healing + Guarantee’s almost every hit is a crit under team settings.

-It’s like.. 10-15g or something for a full set armor-weapon-trinkets.
-It doesn’t have toughness so you don’t run the risk of taking aggro from tank (Some/many exp tanks run low toughness)
-Don’t worry too much about pushing out damage, focus on keeping your team alive so they can DO damage (which is 5-10x+ what you do)

I’m looking for some guardian’s to try something in raids, They hit pretty heavy. If anyone’s interested hit me up in-game.

Guardian’s have a place in raids, people are just too caught up in their “META” comp’s to realize it’s potential.

Talindra.4958:

thanks for sharing. we might try that. I have perma ping 400, and die a lot in gorse. very frustrating at times.. this might help but would you mind sharing your build? herald keeping perma protection up and who is doing the perma regen?

Yeah that fight sucks with laggy players, I could see how this tactic could be very beneficial for you.

-The only think we have the heralds do is give boon duration and Fury.
Druid spirits are giving the protection (Stone Spirit)

deSade.9437:

Yes, I do think a boss from the raid – meant to challenge the top guild teams and push individual skill – shouldn’t have its mechanics ignored, especially not by a pug team with a staff-camping druid that won’t even burst heal in CA during the cc phase with partymates taking damage to the point of downs. Unless that was some strategy I don’t know. Let’s not even talk about VG and distortion…
Raids not in a bad shape, because it does require basic skill and some reliable execution to succeed with riskier strategies, but you shouldn’t be able to bypass mechanics. Ever.

I recall dungeons challenging once.. then learned mechanics and a better setup.. now they’re not.
Jumping puzzles? challenging my first few times. but now? zzzzz.
VG and Gorseval? challenging once.. then week 2-3, poof. Just another farm.
Fighting MoA’s? I cried myself to sleep for weeks. Now? I take 3 healers and we bring extra Mana potions.

Moral of the story?
With time, content becomes easier and as always, repetitive.

Raids has been out for over a month already, people are learning better setups, getting better gear, etc, etc.

All you’re doing is basically “Hey make raids harder for everyone else but just enough so I and my team of elitist wannabe’s can complete so we can brag about it, talk down on people who can’t do it with and bolster our ego’s”

And mechanics weren’t ignored.

1- Taking gorseval down to 66% & 33% phases him, of which we did.

2- CC phase, evading blacks, and healing what we could, just like ANY team will try to do when you DO get hit by his AoE’s. -If your healer(s) don’t keep your people alive, then you have yourself a bad healer(s)_

3- His CC phase doesn’t last Forever, mechanic is simple:
he stops cc’ing and you have 2 options:
A) Run to a wall (Which we could have easily done making the fight 2x easier)
B) Try to DPS him and hope to phase him BEFORE he kills us with world eater.

4- We kept the Charged Souls from reaching gorseval which prevented him from killing us all with World-Eater while clearing Spectral Darkness on the field.

You are just narrow-minded and used to your way of playing. There are PLENTY of different way’s to do raids, not just your way.

Bumping, Need more warriors (Zerk/Scholar) and.. possibly a druid?

deSade.9437:

Gorse needs a buff baaaaaadly…

How are you going to ask for a buff when most players have troubles & constant fails with even normal-way gorseval? This method requires ALOT of DPS or you still get killed by world eater. Your comment is foolish.

My guild always runs 2 druids on all bosses, works pretty well. Full spirit coverage to team: +25% outgoing DPS almost all the time(Grace of the land + FS), good burning damage from sun spirit and perma prot from stone, perma regen + heals from water spirit, and stability & heal from Nature.

Egg phase: Pump out condi war F1’s, or ele AOE’s under gors, have the team EVADE into him to get egged on purpose and the raw dps from AoE’s and burning will instantly break prison/eggs usually in 1/2 second (Works on any team with 1-2+ Eles/Condi wars/Hammer guardians)
We’ve been doing this for awhile, surprised PUG’s haven’t caught on:
“Hey we have all this aoe at our disposal but lets run away and avoid prison/egg’s anyway.”

We don’t do sabetha as a guild, we just farm VG and Gors, capp shards, then do other farms for gold cause raids is a waste of time after gors for us. Last time we did sab with this setup though, it was a walk in the park, though people were dying from mechanics, not damage so… meh.

Bumping again for walnuts

So, seeing as raids have been out for awhile, provide little money, meager rewards, a weekly 100 cap on the magnetite shards needed to get merchant stuff and only bolster the ego’s of “Elitists”. I figured it was time to post a No-Draft PUG-kill on him incase no one has yet to do so.

This vid contains:
4 [Wolf] guildies – Taking key roles: 1/2 condi war, 2 druid, 1 tempest(?)
6 PUG’s
No draft gors kill made easy. (We kill him 10+ times a week to farm, get friends/guildies through and boredom runs)

https://youtu.be/2gRbEeZmprA
^
A couple of pointers to put out there for those who don’t know already:

1) Raids aren’t really that much elite content. With proper planning(Take a few minutes to formulate one before the boss), team formations, tactics, and coordination, even casuals can do it (We No-drafted him with some casual players in tow a few times, drafting him is 2-3x easier)

2) You don’t need a team of the so-called “Condi Warrior/Burnzerker’s” it is 100% doable with only 2 (To hold the far spirits and kill orbs)
Why kill orbs you say? because condi warriors kill orbs faster than elementalists and waste less damage (F1 on boss+auto attack on orbs or F1 an orb, auto attack another. Ta-da!)

3) You also DO NOT NEED full ascended on ANY boss. The only Ascended items you actually need / would be good to have are Trinkets and weapons(Easy to get). Armor doesnt matter (Granted, scholar runes would still be nice on revenants / PS warriors / Physical-DPS types) So for these Full-ascended link-checks that people do.. I laugh at you.

Guards bring prot, stab, fury. Quick, heal, DPS, CC’s and other things. What’s your argument again?

As I clarified before, what i meant was that everything guardian can do, another class can do better. Revs can bring prot, and provide more dps and more utility with it. In the case of raids, stab is not used. Revs can also give fury with more dps and more utility. Mesmers can keep 100% quickness uptime, and still have more utility with alacrity. Druid and ele can both heal WAY more than a guardian. As for DPS, DH does less than ele, rev, engi, warrior, thief, and necro while providing less utility than mesmer or druid.

As for cc, engi has slick shoes, your argument is invalid.

but anyways, this group build going on here i can now see why guardians would be the thing to take, I might try to help test it if I can get one of those classes ready.

It seems that you are truly clueless what a guardian can provide in a group setting and it’s potential.
The same agrument’s can be made for each class
Why bring mightstack ele when we already have PS war with banners and might, empower?
Why take heal ele when we have druid heals+boons? Why need heals when we can evade?
Why take engi when condi war hits harder and easier to play?
Why take engi for CC’s when the same CC’s can be achieved team-wide?

Guardian brings a broad spectrum of team utilities and boons, it doesn’t excel at them like other classes do for certain ones, but it’s more like a jack-of-trades. DPS isn’t that bad, you just don’t know how to form teams with guardians.

Yes they aggro on druid spirits. Have your druid blow the spirits before running to the wall.

I like the new fractals. Not as stressful or time consuming as the old pre-Hot ones and the rewards a really good. I am a fractal vet who’s probably ran more fractals than anyone in the game and I welcome the current fractals with open arms. Fractal dailies might me repetitive, but they are fast which let’s me do more with my time vs old fractals which took almost 2h vs 30-40 mins now.

Daily fractals then farm for an hour or 2 joining random pugs or w/ guildies, make 30-50g+ a day from this. Then do raids to cap shards or get guildies through, then do TP stuff make some gold, then AFK in LA till I find something to do or work on my next legendary. Poof.

Guards bring prot, stab, fury. Quick, heal, DPS, CC’s and other things. What’s your argument again?

Gimli.9461:

NikeEU.7690:

There isn’t a single fight or encounter in the fractals that is even close to as fun, challenging or interesting as the worst of the 3 raid bosses.

And why on earth would you compare a raid boss fight to a fractal fight? If every fight in the game was as challenging/fun/engaging as raid boss, game would be the size of a walnut and population of 10.

This is becoming yet again ‘oh I ran fractals 4000 times and the fight isn’t challenging now’ type of complaint. Once you learn it, yes it’s easy.

I went through every fractal from 1 to 100 recently, some of them were very challenging. But now when I run dailies yeah I feel good about myself, I feel like I know what I’m doing.

I still find fights fun though and am still learning new things about the bosses, if you have the eyes to see and willingness to learn. Sometimes you get into a group with low dps, and you have to learn tells (for instance Molten Duo => Jump over wave, no jump over horizontal burst kinda sound explosion thing => I learned that recently on 99, and now I’m enjoy the hell out of fights where the Minotaur doesn’t go down instantly).

People whine too much, as usual. Really looking forward to fractal updates too, and I think current fractal daily and rewards are in great shape. Run dailies every day, takes me just over an hour, great stuff. Decent time put in, decent reward, and I can still play the rest of the game each day.

You’re absolutely right. Go in, kill stuff, collect rewards, get out and enjoy the REST of the game on a daily basis or do IRL stuff. Good rewards, Consistent rewards, less of a time waste as old fractals which took 1-2h to complete all dailies cause 4 stages (ugh)

I agree, fractals is great. Good gold, easy to do even with casuals and drops are awesome too. It has so much more rewards than dungeons and raids atm and for people who don’t care about reward>effort like myself, it’s the best content in-game right now.
Raids honestly are a waste of time and gold for the majority of the playerbase. It’s just something for “elites” to bolster their egos, and it’s not even that hard. Go in, kill the first 2 bosses and capped shards for the week in 2h or so and you’re done. Fractals is a daily thing, you get atleast a nice 10-10g just doing dailies + opening boxes with ascended chances every day.
Dungeons are still somewhat “ok” gold, pick fastest ones, do them, buy rares and sell/salvage.
Yeah Fractals might seem boring and repetitive, but so is the rest of the game at this point. The positives though, is you make good gold, karma and spirit shards for your next legendary, and it doesn’t require a set team to finish.

When is this? Ill give it a shot.
I can roll any class Full ascended with 70+ kills on VG and Gors Each.

Bumping for page 1 purposes.

Arth Thou Worthy [Wolf]

What we do:

-Daily fractal runs & some team vs team races.
-Farm the first 2 raid bosses: Vale Guardian + Gorseval to cap weekly shards.
-Run Fractals/Raids for no reason.
-End-Game AFK in LA or spot of your choice.

About us:

-No leadership, you obtain guild ranks depending on players kill and classes geared/mastered. You don’t have an equal say in the guild, higher ranks take precedence(Skill-based guild)
-No Guild Missions, you can join other guilds for those.
-We do fractal dailies on server reset, then transition into either: Fractal farming or Raid farming.

What we expect:

-Atleast 1-2+ classes geared for Fractals/Raids.
—— Preferred classes:
Druid
Chrono
Tempest
Berserker (PS/Condi)
Daredevil
Reaper
Herald
Guardian (Normal Guardians, not Dragon Hunters)

-Spec out for as much DPS as you can obviously.
-Ascended Weapon/Armor is NOT a requirement. Ascended trinkets is preferred minimum.
-We use Guild META builds, gear, setups which you will be required to use on Guild runs Only. We run Raids & Fractals safely, quickly, and casually (If you know what you’re doing ofc). If you are just another hardcore Elitist wannabe then this isn’t the guild for you.
-We don’t mind taking casuals, but you must learn your class(es) and gear appropriately, listen to instructions and be ready to learn.

-No crybabies. Your feelings will be hurt during your climb to higher ranks. Grab a lolipop with your flavor of choice and start sucking. It’ll only hurt for a little bit.

Voice Comms: Discord

Gaming mouse is preferred for better overall performance but not required.

If interested in joining, PM/Mail In-game:

Storage Hamster

P.S. Send me 1 walnut and only 1.

-Higher ranks are expected to be decent/expert troll’s to Pugs. No destructive trolling, it must be professional and you need to make the believe that you are new/first time/ don’t know what you’re doing while out-performing them. —-— If insight checked, you will link a max of 7* insights on PUG runs and say you bought them through raid sellers. Don’t forget to ping your brand new masterwork clerics rifle.

Run 2 healers, 1 in each team. can’t go wrong. Unless your green team is… well.. challenged.

Alot of people miss this cause they wanna be “elites” or something, but Druid Healer hands down is one of the best. Carried so many fail PUG’s on 90+ as druid healer it’s not even funny. I often join teams in higher levels to relieve boredom cause nothing much left to do in-game and going as druid healer, no one dies, etc, +35% outgoing damage to team with buffs, perma prot, regen, heals heals heals… and the team can DPS to their heart’s content due to little chance of going downed or dying.

As an avid fractal Farmer/Runner who’s ran over 3000-4000+ Fractals (Pre-Hot) and a bunch more Post-HoT, 180,000+ Fractal relics collected(Spent half) I Vote no. It’s pointless and it’s just an ego-fest for a minority of the playerbase.

1. Check your druids spirits. maybe they’re not blowing them up. Mobs aggro on those spirits. That’s what usually happens.

2. Ele’s split their damage ofc. Just assign 1 ele north, 1 ele south on split phases. Have them clear some orbs before you go to the wall for your 3rd draft, almost certainly you wont’ have orb problems then.

Best advice I can give you: Don’t

It works. Just have more tough than.. anyone else

Pretty much same meta crap. Go in, push out damage, finish fast, collect reward, go about your business.

Or:
Go in casual, finish in 3-4x the time of a glass team, get rewards, go in again a few times while a Zerk/viper-sini team go about their lives cause they finished farming 40 mins ago.

I run AH hammer guardian in marauder armor, scrapper runes and 1/2 zerk/soldier trinks. Keep him in one spot while doing 8-11k DPS. 1.66k toughness and 19k HP and was able to self-sustain on VG requiring few heals on first 2 phases.The Vale guardian isn’t heavy-hitting enough to warrant all that tough/HP you use. You don’t need all that, but it IS nice.

I ran Condi guard I clerics gear with superior night sigils. This boss was basically 1-shot into oblivion.

My team uses tempest ele.

Silverwastes, get recipes for Sinister (exotic) trinkets and make them. Poof. you have sinister trinkets (except backpiece). Viper armor + wep is usually good. Maxes out most condi duration with the addition of a malice/smoldering rune. and just put berserker runes on armor w/ a bursting for +11% condi damage.

I see people complain about “Fractals not hard enough, not challenging! Q_Q” everywhere in this forum, but this? Seriously? all I hear is “Please make it easier for us, take it away because it’s too hard! we get killed by our own skills” pretty much. Please get serious. This is a l2p issue.

Oh, BTW here’s a tip: What do you do when the Archdiviner or Shaman starts reflecting your Range attacks? You stop attacking till it stops. Problem solved.

Pretty funny to read such a comment from someone who obviously doesn’t know that ele has more f-keys than just f2.

It’s so funny how easily my team breezes through fractals every day & the initial push to 100 yet you choose to base your opinions of me from 1 vid. Hilarious. Are you jelly that we basically EZ-moded mai 100 on our first time by just winging it? I don’t get it.

Heck, we gave those mobs 25 might, 25 stability, perma protection, ALL the buffs, and it wasn’t even a challenge. Please go on with your rants about my healing or elementalist gameplay.

It’d be an ok farm if killing effigy yeilded a chest every time, but this is a once-per-day chest and multiple runs killing more effigy’s don’t give rewards.
