Guild Wars 2

Same for me. Can’t progress

Hi guys
I posted a month ago (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/Back-to-my-Minion-master/first#post5552469) and you were very helpful.

I just got the reaper spec, but I’ve been running through LW2 and HOT with my MM necro and it seemed so easy compared to my other characters. I was almost unkillable and my damage was not too bad.

My gear is all based on a post http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/70874-chunxs-minion-mastery-guide/which recommended Cleric Armour with monk’s runes and sigils of life and water on the staff. I was wondering if his article (last updated in 2014) is still right about this and do you agree.

Also, what stats/runes for my greatsword? Is GS right for MM? I was getting on fine with staff.

Exactly the Same here.

thanks for all that

I’ve never played a healer and have no experience of trying to do it. However, I’m not sure how best to go about learning. I don’t have friends that play the game and don’t PVP. During BWE3 I was playing a Druid in open World / HoT story but found little opportunity to heal. I can’t imagine going into a dungeon group saying ‘I’ve no idea what I’m doing’. Any suggestions?

Here is a quick and dirty build I made for you. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQJAWRnc0Adbid1Au1Ac4gFqBbKEUBmASBgBwwKOEWCThA-TByFwAEuAA0U+ZS9nL6Ckt/AAlgIeCAaN/BA-e

Thanks. I’ll give this one a try

I levelled an Asura Necro to 80 at least a year ago, probably more. I can remember nothing much about playing it, but it was a staff based MM with basically Cleric gear. In HoT I want to play a reaper and will try it out in the BWE. Is MM still feasible? – (some recent forum comments seem to suggest it is) and if so what build / play would you suggest?
I remember I gave it up during LS2 when it didn’t seem to have the power to solo one of the bosses – a fight I have completed ok with several other characters.

Truth, Vayne. I have a node and I usually hop in game around reset to do the daily unless otherwise occupied, so if you’re on NA, Tony, feel free to ping me around then to see if I can scoot you into a home instance.

Thanks a lot, but I’m EU.

Also, I’d like to note that you can get an even better backpack still.

Yes but you seem to need 250 Quartz Crystals and so far I’ve only got 7! They’re 4 silvers each on the TP which makes it all very expensive.

After a lot of cost and effort I have just created the Mysterious Vine which is account bound. If I upgrade it with a jewel does it become soulbound?

I have been playing for some time, (have 5 level 80s and 1 level 71), but only did my first dungeon today – I’m currently playing a Thief. I’m looking for a guild that won’t mind if I’m slow to start with.

I have acquired 4 shovels. The wiki says they don’t last long and cannot be unequipped. How do I know when to use them?

Hurray. Worked this time! Did take a long time didn’kitten although not quite as hard as I expected. Died a few times on the airship though!

PS For some reason it keeps adding ‘kitten’. No bad words in it! Oh I see now. Where it says Kitten was the letter t, then space then the word it. ! I guess it didn’t count the space.

Like I said my newest alt managed to do it fine just a few days ago. Give it another shot.

Yes, I’ll try again tomorrow.
FYI When I was stuck on the airship, nothing was active. Could not interact with the canons at all!

I emphasise that my problem was AFTER the 11 Aug patch that supposedly fixed it. The stage was “Keep watch for Orrian forces as the airship advances”.

Just before. The giants were just standing around doing nothing.

Earlier in the week I tried to do Victory or Death but it was bugged on the airship. There are plenty of comments about other people having the problem but I was wondering if it was 100% or if some of us are just unlucky. I don’t want to repeat it if its certain to fail again.

Recalibrating the Waypoints.
Far too late for the OP but I thought I’d add this for anyone who comes looking after. It might help them.

I was about to give up at this point. I’d lost all my armour and barely made an impression on the boss. I quit out and watched some videos of the fight where I realised that the posters were just shrugging off the attacks that downed me in one shot. I went back and stocked up on all the vitality I could – made all the difference. The fight that had been impossible now became easy.
Also, let Taimi handle the device. She’s much better at it than you would be.

I am normally very understanding of developers’ problems, having been one (not games) myself for many years. However I really think Arena.net have dropped the ball badly here. Having returned to the game for some time with 5 level 80s, none of who have done “victory or death” I was keen to try it, then move on to Living Story and the expansion. I got my L40 thief up to 80 then went to the dungeon. I got the same error that many are reporting – being stuck on the airship, supposedly watching the Orrian forces. This is a really high profile error – those of you who just ran the group dungeon cannot understand the frustration of those of us who solo.

For 2 weeks there was no response from Arena.net. No acknowledgement that an error had been reported. Nothing. Then there was a response in a thread not directly relating to the error, saying the fix was under development. Later there was a comment that the team did not have time to post everywhere. Not in the main bug thread in the official forum!

Of course I wouldn’t be posting now if the fix had worked but it didn’t. So instead of taking my other characters through the finale then on to the expansion, its off to play another game. Maybe I will return when everyone is clear that the fix works. Maybe not.

ps. Almost certainly irrelevant, but I am using Windows 10.

Hi guys
I’ve been away for 6 months doing other things and thought I’d come back and have a blast of GW2. I logged in just to look around and all my characters (that all used Lion’s Arch as a base) seem to be standing in a disaster area! It made me wonder, what’s been happening while I’ve been away. I’ve had a quick look at the release notices but I thought I’d see if anyone has wisdom to share.

I should definitely have been reset – I have 6 professions and none of them are reset. As you said, no big!

I was expecting that all my trait points would be refunded today, after the change in the traits. That is not the case, everything is as it was, except for the new trait descriptions. Was I wrong to expect the refund?
