Guild Wars 2

So was looking at tunes today and came across these and there got me thinking.
Would tier 6 actually work with firebrands tomes? And if not do you honk there should ?
Considering the tomes are technically kits in a way these time should work .
Just wanted to hear other people’s opinions on them

Just wanted to say thank you to anet and the wvw team, this update is amazing in every way (except for the queues) haha but that’s a good thing, means wvw population is high

I appreciate the time and effort you put into this update and the warbringer is kittening AWSOME :P
I’m nowhere near the 2k rank (I’m only 764 rank ATM lol ) but sooner or later that armour is mine :p , never been so excited to play wvw now haha

The rewards are beautiful and the ticket/pip system is great and enjoyable. And I love the detail of the chests and the entire layout of everything.

So many people are complaining , pips are unfair, takes too long to get tickets, 2k is too high blah blah blah , these people who are complaining are upset cause the rewards arnt handed to them or there have to work for then. Also these people complaining about higher ranks getting more pips need to realise that it’s a thank you from anet for sticking with the game mode for all these years without proper attention.

So thank you anet I’m sure I’m Not the only one who is thankful and great full for all the work you done with this update and again that bloody backpiece is amazing :p
I WILL BE A FLAMING WAR TANK OF FURY, once I get it that is

Oriori I’ve never used the mantras , so why do you think these would be good for an invincible mesmer ? And what stat set up and weopen set would you go with them ?

Dondagora that sounds interesting like a life steal build based on interups ? Be difficult to pull off ?

I feel with weopen sets shield or torch or even both would have to be priority for the block and/or stealth ? But with shield you have to take the chrono trait line with isn’t helpful at all for a invincibility mesmer haha

With main hand god knows haha I wanna say scepter for the illusion summoning and the block on skill 2

I know this is a pointless idea for most people but this thread is for people who just like playing mesmer without meta and just playing around , in some ways could help hold points for the rest of your Zerg even , i might be one of the rare few that just have everything there need for there Alts and/or just wanna play the game for naught a without a goal in mind.

Was woundering if there’s any new news on this armor set ?
Been looking forward to it since the first screen shot haha looks amazing :p
Or at least word from a dev to clarify if it still gonna happen or been scrapped so I can move on with fashion wars 2 xD

Plus love to hear people’s opinion on them and which one is there favorite ?

So my plan is to create an unkillable mesmer for wvw haha
Not to deal damage , not to hold down land which it probably could by being unkillable haha but the goal is to be as annoying and troll like as possible.
This is a fun build , nothing serious .
I can see many people starting with pu mesmer which would prob be the easiest start to this project but it doesn’t have to be.
My first thoughts is what stats to use , the most solid stat combination I could find would be nomad but it all depends on how it’s structured and play style .
So let’s do this !!!!! Haha

Thank you and I’m sorry that I’m leaving your server, itl just benefit me more and I recommend anyone to join Sorrow Furnace server , people are nice and friendly and barely any poison people, everyone on it is helpful

So anyone on a ru server would be able to answer op would be great full

hi, so the run down:
-im currently on sorrows furnace server right now.
-been on it since launch.
-been in and out of wvw since the last wvw tournament (the good old days of wvw)
- im from the uk

so basically wvw has gotta so dead now im deciding to change server from NA to a EU
Mainly cause the time different is annoying and most time its empty and out numbered
(even tho it could just be that noone plays wvw anymore on my server)
what ever it is i wanna change server but i have no idea what is a good server in EU for wvwing
I also love fractals and open world stuff so i dont want a sever thats empty in that appartment either.

so yeah anyone could help , thank you

I’ve gone for valk weapons/ armor with beserker trinkets
I don’t like following the meta so these stats give ya abit more survibility.
Runes of chrono, sigils of force and accuracy on weapons.
Sword/ shield and scepter/ focus for my weapon sets
Scepter for abit of ranged
Focus for getting around
And sword and shield for damage
No good ranged weapon for chrono yet so scepter seemed to be best imo,
But yeah my build is damaged focus with a decent health pool
A lot will argue with it I can imagine but my chrono is only for open world pve/ living story and events
Not for raids, dungeons, pvp or wvw
Hope this helps abit

What about warhorn ? Maybe warhorn could be a unique dps main hand Weapon.
Yeah skins are kittenty lol but a cool skill could call a haord of illusions to stamped and fade away for aoe damage haha

it gotta be a dps weopen, we got tons of condi right now and like no dps sets besides sword wooooo lol
If it isn’t gonna be a weopen it could be inter graded into our dps like reaper shroud or Druids astrial form , turn us into a illusion or a form like that where if we have 3 illusions out we can absorb them and turn us into a ghost form ? Oviously not the name lol but the idea sounds good. Gaining the power of the illusions idk just an idea I can imagine there being another form like that with the next expansion

It sounds good but I don’t see it happening.
The class already has 4 ranged weopens so adding another wouldn’t make sense.
Itl more likely be a Melee main hand or two handed weopen which im hoping would be hammer.
So with hammer it be awesome to see some sort of teleport flip slam like skill, a ground target gap closer ?
Or even a hammer throw teleport where you throw the hammer and if it hits target you teleport to then ? For a gap closer.
or a aoe skill where you throw the hammer in the sky and small hammers rain down abit like ranger lb skill I can’t remember the name of it lol

But yeah that’s my thoughts , sorry for punctuation I’m typing this on phone , cba to talk properly lol

So I don’t want beserker stats at all
Wanting to creat a chrono/Mesmer focusing only on open world/ living story stuff
So the weopen set ive chosen to use is sword/shield and greatsword
So what stats should I use ?
I have an idea for something with power and maybe boon duration considering chronic/Mesmer can generate a lot of boons which would help me with soloing
But I’m stuck on which stats to pick been told commander is a good choice for what I’m looking for but yeah
Any help I’m grateful

Like I said I enjoy the scepter/ torch and focus or staff second hand haha

Well it’s just for story instance and open world pve lol
So you say keep viper stats , what about runes and sigils?

Just wondering if there’s a place in the game where you can test a build without it costing you for armour and sigils and stuff ? We’re the armour is free to apply for that area and use what ever hear you need to test build strength etc lol

So with lack of duration you still get decent damage from conditions. What about using sigils that apply conditions eg sigils of blood , and adding as many different condition possible with nightmare runes ?, would that be stronger then focusing on one condition and using runes and sigils that boosts that one condition ?

I know it isn’t meta or zerk but I find it boring following the crowd so all the advice helps so thank you so far

So dire is a good choice for a tanky condi build, just worried that the conditions won’t stay on long enough to to get decent damage off .
I love scepter and pistol with the bleed trait , secondary either torch or focus depends lol
So if I go full dire stats and for my runes go something like tunes of nightmare would I still be tanky enought

Been using viper for a while as my main star in eve, decided to make a change and go for something more survivable. I enjoy condition damage over power so would fire stats be good to use ?
That being said do condition do good amount of damage without duration if your primary stat is condi damage ?

MAIN HAND FOCUS!!!!!
Which is a dps weapon like a dagger, punching like animations would be sick :P high damage and fast
Some of the focuses look like melee weapon any ways so there wouldn’t look stupid haha
But can you imagine it looking like a magical wolverine xD

There done multiple of the same weapons which bugs me specially when I love the effects of them, but i don’t want to make any if I cant have all the weapons my class uses. Using a different skin with one just doesn’t look right to me. I preferred them more then some of the legendaries aswel. There even make me wanna make ad Infinitum, can you imagine how your character would look glowing almost full purple xD

Hey all I was wondering if anyone would love to see the rest of the ectoplasm skins (also know as weapons of the mists) for example Llya or spirit links.
I would love to see a staff version or even the torch but I could imagine a torch version to be quick difficult to do without being over the top haha
Be nice to hear your opinions on them

So I’m at about 8.5k achievement point arm, been playing since launch but took about 1and half year break in middle so missed slit of season 1 living story came back about Scarlett’s rise, then had another break over 20015 Christmas till about 3 weeks ago.
So I come back and decided il start or try to raise my achievement point to about 20k , give myself a aim and go for it but was curious if it’s even possible haha I missed so much and it will take proba the rest of the year to even come close , so is there any easy ways to do it ?
Looking at leader boards it’s obvious most of the top did the dailies when you use to get 1 point for each which you don’t get now

Hey, was wondering how effective torment is as a condition?
I have been thinking of creating a torment mesmer purely for the wvw.
The idea I have is to have a Mesmer built for torment using clones/illusion to distract, utilities for stealth/mobility which will get the targets moving while applying high torment stacks and other conditions .
I know it wouldn’t be meta or anything or the best build but just want some advice on if it could work and what you guys would choose.
Viper gear i have ready with runes of nightmare but don’t wanna use them if the build isn’t that great. I know it won’t be the best but if it’s okay and fun it’s worth it haha
Thank in advance and honestly any opinion is useful for me

decided to create a condi/power hybrid mesmer/chrono with alot of stealth use
i like scepter/torch alot and will be using them as my main set
what im woundering is how strong is torment n wvw/pvp?
The idea in my head is
armour/weapons viper
berserker trinkets
6xrunes of the tormenting
sigil f bursting and sigil or force/precision
BUT all all this depends on if torment is a strong condition
please help me lol

Looking for a mesmer stun pvp build that’s up to date with chronomancer.

Hey all, was a PP thief since launch and decided to have the last year trying other classes, PP got ducked over with the update but with daredevil , is there a viable build for a PP thief in pve?
just looking for a direction to go haha I know PP isn’t the most powerhouse weopon set but I enjoyed the challenge and the play style

Hi, I stop playing about months ago and I’m deciding to start from scratch and buy HoTs, I’m going to start a chromomancer and wanted to know what the fast way to level up is now since I having leveled a character in like 2 years haha
I heard that crafting has been need to the point of being pointless and that work used to be fastest but that still the case ?
anyways any help will be grateful :-)

So all in all chromomancer is good for solo and the events in HoT are still populated

What about skill rotation, I’m not very quick when it comes to combat haha do you have to be a fast skill basher to be successful with chromo?

Hi everyone, my situation is this. Been away for about 6 months and was thinking of getting back into gw2 but im worried.
I use to main a pp thief before there removed it, then went ranger for the last year/ 2 years.
The chromomancer caught my eye but ive never played a mesmer.
So basically is chronomancer any good for pve and abit of wvw, dont play pvp.
Also i know il need the HoT expansion but am i too far gone to even get into it eg map events deserted cause everyone already got everything.out of them and so on.
Writing this on a phone so sorry for punctuation and spelling lol

was curious, have there fixed the targeting of FT yet ?
not played engineer/scrapper for a while and the main problem with FT was is only fired in a straight line so mobs above threshold (platform above or slope for example) couldn’t be hit, is this still the same or has Anet fixed this ?

hi, i’ve not bought HoT’s yet so i’m looking for any info/advice/opinion on my query.
I love pp theif used it since launch and still used it but now that the expansion is out and all, can daredevil benefit pp thieves ?
I’m used to playing pp/sb and now daredevil has that extra dodge it helps the serviceability of pp theif?
or has pp theif completely been removed as a option with HoT?
i normally just pve/fractals
maybe raid i don’t know yet depends on the reply of this post
any help is appreciated ad sorry for my punctuation and all.

i love the druid, that is all lol :P
i dont see why people are complaining , we wanted support we got it, its not always about power!, with druid we will turn into one of the hardest to kill classes in pvp and pve.
if anet even reads this you all need a holiday lol you did an amazing job
so bring on the beef xD

Druid is now the BULBASAUR haha, reading the skills reminds me of my beloved pokemon bulbasaur xD solar beam, seeds and vines lol I Love It !!!!!
Healing/power build., here i come :p
Thank you Anet

Thank, it would of made more sense to place a class that is more balanced and in a great place right now last like elementalist . I got a feeling it was meant to be showed earlier but like everything with rangers right now, problems happens but what can you do .

Quick question, once level 80 beside hero challenges in the open world , can you get them any other way ?

Kodama.6453:

UKADAM.3910:

as long as druid staff isnt like necro staff its worth being last, no wells please, people think its gonna be all support but the trailer clearly shows a damage attack like a beam of vines, so dont expect it to be fully support.

maybe wel have mind control effects :P maybe our special ability will have a short control of natures creatures :P turn mordrem against each other, thats what m hoping anyways haha

Just because the AA is doing damage doesn’t mean the weapon isn’t support/healing centered. There is only one AA in game which doesn’t do damage (looking at you, buff needing med kit ô.o). I still think the spec is about healing.

Utility skills seem to be glyphes, a datamined trait sais so. But I don’t know why you got the idea of mind control skills. It doesn’t fit the druid theme, just if you are encountered by nature creatures, but what if you are fighting machines? Makes no sense. IF someone gets mind control, it should be the mesmer. ^^

I never said it wouldn’t be support, i said it wouldn’t be a fully support spec, ther will properly be some aspects of support but not all.

I don’t know if people use 2 different sets of armour and weapons but i have a second set of everything but can’t decide which stats to have for them ?
My main set is full berserker but was tempted to create a full wupwup set, weapons and trinkets included , whats your opinion guys cause im stumped.

if this helps i mainly wvw and open world/fractal pvp, maybe raids when HoT released but not entirely sure yet.

as long as druid staff isnt like necro staff its worth being last, no wells please, people think its gonna be all support but the trailer clearly shows a damage attack like a beam of vines, so dont expect it to be fully support.

maybe wel have mind control effects :P maybe our special ability will have a short control of natures creatures :P turn mordrem against each other, thats what m hoping anyways haha

well i pve more then anything and i do fractals more then anything in the game so wvw isnt that big of an issue for me haha never do dungeons because there not a challenge and are boring to me, Fractals for life haha

im just worried that the damage outcome if i swap to celestial is too low if that make sense, i know you can play any stats in pve.

im gonna wait for druid to be revealed aswel because if its mainly damage and healing/buffing, a mix of everything would be great.

So I play wvw and mainly pve ( Fractals and open world) , I been playing full zerker Lb and GS. So recently with the recent news of raids and so on It got me thinking. I wanna go full celestial armour with zerker weapons and trinkets or full celestial.
But never had experience with those stats and its very costly to change them, so wanted people who have use those stats opinion on them ?

I started to use sword and torch instead of lb and loving the whole full melee and with druid coming im excited xD pluss from the way Anet is describing the raid difficulty , zerker meta will be viable for certain classes but not all which got me thinking of changing stats.

So yeah I run full zerk gear and use s/t and gs so would celestial be a better option for stats ?

What if the druids specialisation skills changes based on the type of pet that’s out, eg if you have a Terrestrial type pet out , your staff skills change for them !

My other thought is

Since we seen their getting extra dodge for there mechanic, what if we got the choice to swap for a third pet ? Or even have both pets out at once.

Just some thoughts since daredevil came out.

Higher difficult should always mean better rewards simple as that, if it was the case of same reward for any tier of difficulty then noone would ever do the hardest tier. There wouldn’t be any point.

“Together with any of the armor crafting professions (armorsmith, leatherworker, or tailor), you’ll start with a simple new backpack and build it into the new precursor back item. Just like all future precursor and legendary items, this precursor will be account bound and can’t be traded—it must be earned. A new series of achievements and collections will track your progress on your quest.”

The fact there mentioned collections indicate you need to complete them to advance in your legendary journey or in there words “quest”.
So part of those collections could easily be the current fractal back item, specially if its a fractal based/themed legendary.
Maybe even the item for completing the Fractal weapon skin collection (Which has been confirmed) could be needed to craft the legendary.

well what makes a legendary a legendary besides the skin is the state swap, so its more likely you will be able to with the new fractal legendary.
I wounder if you can change the colour tho, there adding new fractal weapon skins (gold ones) so wondering if there will be a option to have it gold to match ?
we know that we can trade fractal skins for ones we need but does anyone know if there have o be in skin form or you can with unlocked ones ?
if that makes sense haha

thank il check it out now :P

just a quick question
is there any clear image of druids specialization Weapon and Armour?
ie the staff and shoulders?

So I’m not the only one that feels the current fractals backpiece will br part of the legendary one haha, I wounder what else will be needed from fractals ? Any ideas or what are you peeps saving up from them haha

Okay so was playing in eotm the other night and twice during my play time when I used point blank shot on a enemy and knock them off the edge, I know there fell cause I saw there body fall and name drop but all of the sudden there were back on ground ?
I don’t know if its a hack or anet has stopped knocking people off edges , I just want answers.
The players where a guardian and a necro.

me and a group was running level 50 and we all got discussing the new fractal legendary with HoT and we came to question would we need the Prototype Fractal Capacitor (ascended) to create it or be one of the pieces to making it ?
what are your thoughts on this ?
