Guild Wars 2

Mind sharing the build so I can run in on my thief in wvw

4852hours 22min
684days
sometime I leave my game on when I go out but man that’s a lot of time

I only ever gotten 2 precursors both the same one the colossus and got them from the mystic forge first time I got one I did 100 rare hammers in the mf and I got it only cost 12g for the rest of the mats to make the 100 rare hammers and the second time I got the colossus I tossed 4 exotic hammers in the mystic forge that I got from doing pvp and getting the weapon boxes so it cost 0 gold for the second one still have it in my bank waiting till im closer to finishing bifrost to sell it

had my ranger at lvl 80 for months now ungeared and never touched after leveling him im looking for a build to run dungeons with on him and one for fractals for me and my friend this is mainly for my friend who starting to play again who has no build for ranger

here is the link if you wanted to preview it [&C3gVAAA=]

Anyone think we will be able to go to Zinn’s Secret Underground Lair or the bloodstone from guild wars 1 would be cool to see some of the old things from gw1 in the new living story even if it is not the main part of it.

Also they ask you if you want to buy this item before accepting it maybe if you take 35 days to get something then you would actually look at what you are buying or see that there are multiple rings of the same stat and wonder why that is.

If I’m playing a certain build with 1h weapons, I’m probably going to equip two of the same stat combination if I’m aiming to min/max. Same thing happens here.

I mean you just don’t buy a shirt at a store and not see if it is the right size until you put it on at home then get angry at the store for not asking if you really wanted to buy that size small instead of the large.

I don’t get mad, but I do consider them a pretty lousy store if I can’t try it on before buying it, or, having bought it, I can’t even return it for the appropriate size. There’s a difference between “ethically wrong” and “will make customers unhappy.” This falls under the latter heading, and while it’s not a crisis, it has obvious room for improvement.

(For anyone wondering: I’ve never had the ring problem, but I’m also the kind of person who loves reading patch notes and wiki entries. Not everyone does that, or wants to do that, or even thinks of doing that.)

I also use 2 of the same rings but I do look at the rings and notice that there are 2 rings with the same stats like the red ring of death and crystalline band and look over the rings it is just about paying attention to details that most people cant seem to notice or bother looking over things before buying

also I had more in mind the white undershirts you buy in the packs of 5 not like a shirt you buy off the rack that you can try on in the dressing room of a store.

I don’t think bigger or longer text saying that the ring is unique would even work I mean I was sitting I lions arch after the patch hit for the wvw tickets and everyone got a piece of mail with the first line saying “Speak with the Battle historian in any WvW map to claim your replacement tournament rewards chest.” and a good 90% of the people where still asking where how do you get your reward chest. Also they ask you if you want to buy this item before accepting it maybe if you take 35 days to get something then you would actually look at what you are buying or see that there are multiple rings of the same stat and wonder why that is. I mean you just don’t buy a shirt at a store and not see if it is the right size until you put it on at home then get angry at the store for not asking if you really wanted to buy that size small instead of the large.

As most of us know they are some of most expensive skins because you can not get them anymore and only way to get them was to get lucky in the first Halloween seeing as how the first winterday day items came back and you where able to buy them from the black lion weapon specialist for 5 tickets at one point. I am suggesting you add the first Halloween items to the black lion specialist you can even put it up for 7 tickets like the fused weapons. The first year Halloween are in my opinion some of the best looking skins in game.

Evan Lesh.3295:

We absolutely want to make build templates. They could work similar to GW1, but there are more components to a build now. Using the old string-code method may prove to be unwieldy.

Things that must be in a template:

• Weapons
• Sigils
• Rune
• Amulet
• Skills
• Traits

What could be in a template:

• Skins
• Dyes
• Outfit
• Finisher

Things to consider:

• Sharing (chat links? codes? urls?)
• Viewing (seeing some else’s vs. seeing your own)
• Saving (notepad vs. local vs. account vs. web)
• Building (one spot in UI vs. multiple spots)
• Websites (third-party sites should work with in-game)
• APIs (Could expose an API to third-parties)
• PvP vs PvE vs WvW (each mode requires different configuration options)

How would you like to see any/all of these work?

so I made a post a while ago for templates to be added to both pve/pvp and I wrote how I feel it can be done for both if you can please read it I also posted picture of how it would look in pve since in pvp how you have to make a build is kind of great to make a build in for templates just need to add a save button and maybe a tag that shows by default for pvp builds that looks like [PVP] in front of the name but I talk about this is the post https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Add-a-GW1-Template-System-in-GW2/first#post3993921 if you can look at it great would save me time from copy/pasting it here

so basically I wasted my birthday booster if I only wanted it for the karma gain
because they cant update there tool tip on the booster to not say karma on it

i recently popped my birthday booster and karma booster in eotm to get more karma for my legendary and I noticed with all my buffs it seems like it is not working properly total boost to my karma is 180% but it seems like im only getting the effect from 80% of it and missing 100% boost
I have karma boost from birthday booster 100% karma booster 50% food 5% karma infusion 15% karma boost from achivements 10% so by my count I have a 180% to karma in eotm I took the airport and it said I get 510 karma for event and in the bottom the number only showed 918 karma shouldn’t I get 1428 karma from it if it gives 510 karma base so I should get 180% more so it should be 510 twice then 80% of 510 now I might be wrong but it also shows on the buff above my utility skill it does not show 100% to karma there but it says it does it on the birthday booster itself

Anet should definitely add them back in the game so I can complete my armor set of it. I only have the tribal boots and I would love to complete my set of it. Sucks I ran out of tokens to try and make it and it seems like a armor most people want.

also I have a post I made a little over a week ago on how they can do the template system in gw2 for pve and pvp build with a picture of how I think it would look in game for making a build to save to a template

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Add-a-GW1-Template-System-in-GW2/first#post3968227

saw a post like this hopefully 2 will grab more peoples attention about templates and adding them in game

Bolthar.7192:

I agree. I’ve been really wanting to at LEAST be able to save my trait build. If they wanted to I wouldn’t mind if they gave us only two build save slots and allowed us the ability to buy more build save slots the way they do bags. They have to make money after all. Either way… this is a must, I mean… isn’t it!? The trait system is pretty deep compared to others and there are a lot of different routes and options you can take. Then when you have a different build for WvW, dungeons (on an individual basis sometimes), Fractals and PvP (even though you can save that separately)… it gets really difficult to remember your builds specifically and you have to rely on third party resources. I give your post a +1

I also agree to adding template system into the game like they had with gw1 but I don’t agree with having to buy template slots for something that is more of a convenience then anything. Right now I have builds saved in a folder with text docs for different classes and I just have links to websites where the builds are saved. If you remember back in gw1 the templates you had where saved on your pc in your gw1 folder under templates not on the servers they can still do the same thing in gw2 without charging you for a template slot or anything. Also with how anet seems to mess things up at times I would rather have the templates saved on my pc then their servers.

bumping post to see if more people will reply

Iason Evan.3806:

Totally agreed. ArenaNet says, “We know the community wants this” but have never committed to delivering it. Odd that there are interface/UI things that are better in GW1 than in GW2. Templates were amazing.

one can only hope that they will add it into the game especially if they know the community wants it

Anyone else think the injector looks like a kitten

What I mean by the title is make is so you can buy just one or 2 pieces of a armor instead of buying it as a whole set.
Lets say if I just wanted to get the krytan medium chest armor I would have to buy the whole set and then be left with armor I wont use and can’t do much with it but toss it into my bank or delete it. But if you made it so I can buy just the chest piece ( or any other piece) a lot more people would spend the gems on armor you can even make it so buying each piece separately is more expensive then buying the set like the med krytan is currently 500gems if you make each piece 100gems then it would cost 600 gems if you bought it all separately then as a set. The 800gem armors would be like 150gems for each piece making it 900gems total.
I know I would personally love being able to buy certain pieces of armor skins I mean I can buy what ever armor look I want in game separately just not in the gem store.

A good rule of thumb is if you are on a standard keyboard you don’t want to bind a key past r, f ,v in less it is something like opening up guild menu or for opening wvw just mainly in battle you don’t want to stretch your hand way over to hit a skill that being said here is how I set up
1-5 weapon skills
w ,a ,s, d movement is default
Q is heal
E is utility norm on skill 6
X is utility norm on skill 7
C is utility norm on skill 8
V is elite
3rd mouse button is dodge
rebinded the f1-f4 skills to shift+1 shift+2 ect
this set up works for me you just have to mess around with it to see what works for you.
Also if you have a mouse with multiple buttons and not just a 3rd mouse button you can bind your first skill to one of them so when you use bomb kit you don’t have to have one finger out pressing 1 all the time1

ellesee.8297:

you can use berserker or rampager or rabid. it all depends on how you like to play. if you primarily do pve, then i recommend berserker or rampager. if you wvwvw, go berserker or rabid.

don’t use travelers runes. they are ~6-7g each. run ac a few times and use monks.
don’t use strength runes. use pirate. they are way cheaper.
if you opt for berserker, take 10 out of firearms and put it into tools. rifle will be better too.

Thank you for the tips on the runes I kind of left them on there also I forgot pirate has might too was also thinking on getting the runes so it will be a total of 75% boon(30%from stats and 45%from runes) duration and ill lose the 5% duration for might if I got monk, water and traveler. I might keep rampagers for wvw too since I been doing spvp with rampager ammy and if I get into a 1v1 situation in wvw I belive ill be able to dodge and fight good and most likely win depending on there build and if I don’t have certain skills on cd. I appreciate the feed back from all of you.

I was thinking it over and I came up with this
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQJAqalspSXHxSfF17ICoCAgoHPGlNZfewWpFEC-jkCBoOBkWAkEBI/pIaslhBpyJsVXRTzATliIq2joIa1CBMZOA-w
I might not have the highest toughness but I have a lot of health and rampagers gives me nice crit chance with the power and condition damage and the trinkets give me condition damage with toughness and precision with the jewels to give me a little more hp and the double dire pistols give me some defensive stats while boosting condition damage not too sure on the food tho the orrian truffle soup will give me more hp with the condition damage and the sigils can be played with I norm carry a 3rd weapon on my guys to swap at 25 stacks so I might run malice or sigil of ice on 3rd not sure yet. How does this look for like PvE and dungeons maybe WvW(sit near the back throw grenades not get to close to them)

If anyone can help me kind of new to Engi and I am not to sure on what armor to use for my HgH build. Here is my build right now
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQJAqalspSXHxSfF17ICoCAgoHPGlNZfewWpFEC-jEBBkIAlhBpyJsVXRDA-w

I am running double pistols right now and I was thinking of Rampagers armor with sigil of corruption for more condition damage with the sigil of battle on one pistol

But if that sounds completely wrong would someone be able to help me figure out what armor would be best for my engi
also if anyone can tell me what stats for my pistols that would be great.

I had that pop up happen to me I was going crazy trying to find what is was come to find out it was a underwater weapon I had that needed to have stats on it might want to look at those weapons

well battle works the same way on weapon swap depending on what one you have you get x amount might stacks and from there wiki

On weapon swap

Sigils that trigger on weapon swap are not activated by dropping a bundle, such as rocks. Engineer and Elementalists do not have alternate weapon slots, but these sigils will trigger on switching elemental attunements or weapon kits in combat.

it says weapon swap sigils work with attunement swapping and this works for all of them (tested it in spvp) accept for sigil of renewal this one does not seem to work

anyone know is this is a bug?

I put the Sigil on my elementalist’s staff and it does not seem to heal at all when swapping attunements. I was running major battle on the staff before and that worked completely fine. I was in combat and was swapping between fire, air and earth with missing hp and neither I nor allies received any healing even when they where in range on top of me.

Been using “Fear Me” and noticed that it misses when you are blinded I mean it is a shout how could yelling miss I mean “For Great Justice!” does not miss when you are blinded or the other shouts “Fear Me” is the only one that does

Esplen.3940:

It’s a smart move.

A: It’s casual.

B: It stops massive inflation.

Note: Crafting material prices may rise due to the usage in obtaining Zephyr chests. If they were to allow players to also craft Celestial gear upon release of this content, the prices would skyrocket (or at least have a major shift in price).

it does not seem casual to me I find the daily casual, play a bit do some wvw it is done.
this is just a long grind for you to make armor and it is not really enjoyable. A smart move would be is put it in a dungeon or make a dungeon where you can only get the armor and wepons from there at least it is new content and something to do and I have the option to grind the dungeon everyday to get it in a week like other dungeon sets or take my time and casually do it and get the armor in a month also throwing it in a dungeon would stop other mats from going up in price from not crafting it going with your point of it stopping inflation from not using other mats.

also to your note I don’t think mats will really go up in price I mean how many of us have a stack of certain mats that don’t get used a lot I had like 4 stacks of thick leather sections before buying boxes

So I was looking at the new Celestial armor that you can make and I noticed if you wanted to make the armor it would take one month to do it. Some of you know that you can only make one Charged Quartz Crystal a day and one insignia takes 5 Charged quartz crystals a day along with other mats. So that means if you have enough quartz crystals to make one charged one a day it would take 30 days to craft 6 insignias to make the armor and I think it is kind of ridiculous 1 month to make armor.
I like the armor I can use it to test wvw builds with out committing to a certain set of armor just to see how the build would works or even get the armor for a new level 80 character to see how different builds are.
What do you guys think do you think it is ridiculous that it will take one month to make the armor or do you think it is fine

opened over 3k regular coffers to try and just get one ticket and I got nothing I got so many minis I gave them away to guild members and new players who don’t have much
it seemed better when the tickets where in the black lion chest at least people did not have to buy a kitten ton of keys to get a ticket I think it was my 5th black lion chest and I got a fused ticket and I only bought 3 keys at least I got 2 keys from open chest here you get a whole bunch of taffy and fire works that you end of throwing away I have 2stacks of fireworks im going to destroy (P.S I know it was not that easy to get a fused ticket but people who wanted one ended up getting one at a reasonable number of boxes opened I think people I talked to opened around 20 boxes some more some less but never had to open like 100 chest to get one)

opened 2000 regular dragon coffers no tickets but have enough candy to fill a Olympic swimming pool but from what I am seeing I’m glad I did not spend cash to buy the rich coffers it seems like the same drop rate for tickets on both coffers

i tried to have the interface small but the text looks weird like when you open up the tradeing post and it is really annoying after a while

I hate how some of the things show up I know you can move the map and chat but one thing i miss from gw1 you are able to move everything here i hate the spot the target window pops up at playing on my ele it gets in the way of placeing aoe down at times. So im basically suggesting is make the whole user interface moveable or be able to resize everything on the interface
