Guild Wars 2

For argument’s sake, you could get a Knights set and that is quite good for every game mode when paired with the right accessories

I legitimately completely forgot about this feature.

Why not both?

You don’t read them, you eat them.

I laughed for a good long while after seeing this lol

Yes, thanks for the awesome game and the work you put into it.

@ Tyler.6182: It depends on builds. Are you LB/GS?

Yeah I roll lb/gs. Just practice man, you’ll get better.

I’m not sure man… I play ranger a lot and I do not have a hard time at all with hambow in a 1v1 situation… Maybe you just need more practice. Also it helps to play the hambow build on a war so you can learn its weaknesses.

I too was expecting a new race in the xpac since release. A new race is fun and exciting and definitely brings something new to the game. I feel like a new race would’ve completed the feel of the expansion. Although I will still purchase it, it is a bit of a letdown knowing we’ll have to wait another several years before we Might get a new playable race.

MrForz.1953:

It’s actually true, despite the general stability nerf I honestly doubt one would attempt to interrupt it. Better keep your controls until the dagger storm ends. I don’t even know if the built-in reflect will, or not, cancel a projectile based CC’s attempt to remove the said stacks.

I can answer that. Say I shoot a thief doing dagger storm with point blank shot as a ranger…. Point blank shot IS in fact reflected and I as the ranger get knocked back. No effect on thief

Interesting. My guess is that some profession specializations will have 5 abilities

Plush griffon, aw yeah.

some type of mixture between these two… yes everyone will say we don’t need another plant bow but it wouldn’t be plant it would be wood. actually thats what bugs me about a lot of sylvari/nature themed stuff in the game… its always planty and not tree-like or wooden and branchy as for the other stuff i could care less i just want a bow!

dunno why people like overdesigned futuristic bows, but eh.

but urgoz bow, come on, there are plenty of options already to choose from. here are two.

and hell, there’s this short bow if you really need a bramble bow.

Oh yes, I do know about the living short bow, and yes it’s my favorite short bow… coolest short bow ever and I’ll never even think about using a different one. However those other bows you linked make me cringe and are not close to what I was thinking of. And the aion bow isn’t really futuristic it’s just elaborate and decorative, it’s actually quite like the ascended longbows of gw2 but better looking imo. A bow made of WOOD in a similar style with a hand/arm guard and some cool kittenwiz is kind of what i was thinking of. I know it’s not too likely because Kudzu is already a plant weapon but it’s just too planty and whimsical for my taste and some others it sounds like.
Edit: I’m not complaining that there are no longbow skin options that I like because that is untrue…. I’m just trying to describe a LEGENDARY longbow skin that would look dang swanky.

Death to Trahearne! That would be the most epic story point ever…. and to the people that like Trahearne it would be a sad and memorable story point that adds meaning to the game. Everybody wins!
P.S. Clor Island.

Put the armor on whatever character you play the most at the moment. Switch it to your ranger now and in the future, if you start playing your thief more, switch it back to your thief and change the runes again. It’s always nice having some nice gear for your characters and then your ascended armor, which I’m sure you put a lot of work into making, won’t just sit unused on another character.

I’d like to see molten jetpack glider skin (auto unlocked if you have the backpack skin). Also, if the magic carpet could be a glider skin as well that would let people use theirs more (same with the witch broom). Profession specific “gliders” could be cool as well, like rangers jumping on a griffon, rocket boots for engineers, mesmers get purple butterfly wings or something, guardians could get ANGEL WINGS lol, elementalists could jump on a phoenix, thieves could… hmm. not sure. not sure about warriors either. Necros could grow bone/bat wings, and revenants could use mist energy or something idk. Honestly I’m just excited that there’s going to be gliding period but some nifty skins sure wouldn’t hurt my playing experience.

I actually thought that this was an awesome video, I’ll watch some (probably all lol) of your other guardian videos and most likely try out your build soon. Very entertaining, thanks for posting =)

Hey man, I took a look at your build and I’d say it’s pretty solid. Some advice I would give you is to get rid of your glyph and put armor of earth instead, armor of earth is amazing for stomping or fighting hammer warriors. Also then you could get rid of earth’s embrace and have stone splinters as well as rock solid, (stability when you swap to earth). As for combo-ing lightning flash + burning speed, it just takes practice and isn’t even needed, i rarely use that to open cause i like to save my LF. I haven’t tried Stone Heart out yet but I’m sure it will be good. If you’re about to fight what looks like a condi-profession or spec you could quick swap your trait to Diamond Skin, hilarious against condi necros and mesmers! Out of curiosity, what server was that ele from and what race were they? Oh, also…. tornado isn’t the most awesome elite, I would suggest Fiery Greatsword just for getting around the map or Glyph of Elementals for skirmishes and duels, air elemental is pretty nice for the stuns.

Another thought: go into one of the duel servers in pvp and try out a whole slew of traits either with a friend or just fight the people there. Quite helpful to know what the best traits for your playstyle are.

Hi, I’ve just hit 80 with my ele and i want to gear my guy mainly for roaming wvw with d/d. I was wondering if zerker gear was good for 1v1 or 1vx? Also, I’ve heard that celestial gear is good for eles, should i get celestial rings/trinkets and the like? And runes of Strength… worth the investment? Thanks for helping

While gw2 was still being made, I think arenanet was playing with the idea of having a combat system without targeting. Unfortunately they decided against it. I can’t remember their reasoning

Stalkarn.1329:

OGDeadHead.8326:

If warrior damage is 100, what is ranger damage compared to that?

1. Ranger hits every attack, pet hits every fourth/fifth attack = ? damage
2. Ranger hits every attack, pet hits every second attack = ? damage
3. Ranger hits every attack, pet hits every attack = ? damage

I would think that ranger total damage was calculated from the beginning to be ranger+pet hit all of their attacks, just like any other class.

That is the way they are doing the math, problem is pet hits less then 25% of the time and is normally dead (in WvW at least) through 3/4 of the battle on a 60 second timer is it? Leaving us with 30% less damage for a full minute during a battle. Not only that but we don’t even hit all the time with ranged weapons because of the constant sidestepping to evade our arrows and if they are standing on a pebble we get a obstruction message or out of range message even if they are not obstructed or out of range. I love it when I can’t hit someone below me from the fort wall with a bow and arrow because they are out of range but if I could spit, I’d nail them in the forehead! They need to give ranger’s 100% of the damage control, pet’s do not work, they stated this already, and they also stated that they do not plan on fixing it any time soon. We’ve waited a year already, it’s time for us to receive our full damage and screw the pet!

This is why the ranger should be more like in first GW. I havn’t played GW2 for a year now and yes maybe the biggest reason is that no one of my friends play any more but one of the reasons is that I was so dissapointed by my favorit GW profession, the ranger.
It is so obvious. The ranger is dependant of a stupid AI creature, and yes this has been taken up before. But I realy can not figure out why Anet are so perverse about this, almost childish. It is as simple as 1+1. I hear ranger is not welcome in some parties because it so bad. Rangers damage is dependant on a usualy dead AI. Humans will always be better at situation awarenes than an AI! The answer should be simple. Make pet optional with beastmaster like in GW. That way you can skip pet in sertain situations, like WvW.
So pitty that a game I waited for five years was such a huge dissapointment only because this small thing.
Anet stop being so perverse and see the truth, the ranger need some care!!

Amen brother!

those are the bows i want.

now way. its fun.

a guy said in another post that he had to try the clocktower jumping puzzle for 15 hours before he made it… even crap jumpers can get it if you’re dedicated enough. good luck guys

um i wouldnt use that too much… sounds too much like exploitation.

all you need for the clocktower is dedication man. nobody says its going to be easy, but what do you expect? you get free level 80 exotic boots from it. i dont really get the purpose of this post but i just wanted to point out that your aunt’s sister would also be your aunt lol, unless it is your mom…

dude you gotta be kidding.

I have just noticed that the beast mastery trait zephyr speed does not give quickness sometimes when i swap pets. It seems that it only gives the quickness if I’m in combat now. This is a new bug that has just happened in the last couple of days, maybe since act 3 of halloween.

i want my shortbow back =( im playing a lot lesss since this nerf and i dont want to play a different class
