Guild Wars 2

So, I don’t know if this was intentional, but the Mistguard Legguards were soulbound on acquire to my warrior alt when she crafted the final rare legging piece needed for the collection. What if it hadn’t been my warrior but a Light Armor or Medium Armor profession? It would have been soulbound to a character that can’t even use the piece. I think the Mistguard armor pieces need to be account bound on acquire and soulbound on use instead.

This is exactly what puts me off the MM build. I never use it, and when I decide to try it, I regret it in the first fight. There are a few tricks and tips, but this should NOT be necessary to make a build work. Not to mention that some of our Minion related traits don’t work (but that’s another topic I guess).
It’d be very nice for them to work a bit on this (if they are not).

I mainly run a melee build. it’s a very versatile and fun build. I go use dagger/warhorn and staff. Well of blood, suffering and corruption. I love spectral path for the stunbreaker and swiftness but you could use anything else here. Whatever you want for Elite. Traits: 15 spite, 10 Death Magic, 30 Blood Magic and 15 in Soul Reaping. the idea is to use your wells to aoe all the time, this will deal damage and heal you with Vampiric Rituals as lettucemode said. If you go with a Soldier/Cleric set you’ll be very tanky and can stay in melee for most fights and you can be great support. At lvl 80 and with exotic gear I have 3k Attack, but it’s damage output still isn’t the best and I crit every once in a blue moon. But it is very fun.
Just my two cent.

I don’t run a Minion Build but I still have 10 points in Death Magic.
What I do is I tell my party of the Jagged Horrors and I don’t attack Lupi, so I focus on the grubs and swarms. This will keep the Jagged Horror close to the party in case they spawn grubs.
