Guild Wars 2

I’ve read that typical CoF party is a 4 bers warriors + support mesmer, is it still true? Im just curious what’s the cheapest way to make myself viable in dungeons, and rabid gear might work if I’ll be supportive/tanky (well, I can keep half of it).
Still interested in gear requirements, since not like I have much of gold, just finished getting exotics for gold/karma, for my first 80.

Hello. Before I start ruining dungeons for someone I’d like to ask this question. I am playing with a WvW-oriented condi mesmer build (20/20/30/0/0 staff and scepter+torch with rabid gear). Will it work in explorable dungeons? (I know its not a pve build)
If no, how good your gear needs to be? Do you have to be full exo, or rare will work?

I’ve made several story mode dungeons and that was easy (2 of them we did as 4). I’ve read the tactics but noone ever bothered following them, we’ve just facerolled our way to the chests. Is it the same in explo, or you have to actually remember the tactics?

The names that give some definition about the person. StronkWarr, Silent Murderer are self-explanatory and Tommy (tho, not creative) / Legolas (LOTRish Legolas, not the thousands of legolases in video games) / Wynthser are not self-explanatory.
Qlyphoth is a Qliphoth with a pseudo Old English spelling to make a non-lore reference hidden (like Blizz do with most of their references).

Onileare does not mean anything and is a “stolen” name with a bit of pseudo Old English spelling (I like doing “Oldification” to take the names) as well.
Its hardly pronounceable but to stay apart from thousands of rising necros I had to make this name, and imo it fits pretty well.

4/10, don’t like straight self-explanatory names.
Named my Necromancer Onileare Qlyphoth, to stay at least a bit out of crowd.
