Guild Wars 2

Personally I find myself completely wrecked by necromancers, and every1 and their aunty seems to play it. I mean there was 1 game where there was 5 necromancers between the 2 teams. Anyway as people have said if you balance the game around high end play, you are going to lose players… Why dont you do something constructive and post a Mesmer and Thief buff thread OP? Some1 said Revs already struggle to get into teams for high level PVE content, are you trying to nerf them into the ground for PVE?

This is a thread for posting your tips on how to clear dungeons.

For the low level dungeons and before you unlock Herald, a Healing build with Ventari, or Rite of the Great Dwarf Spam works well. If you are gonna go for a Rite of the Great Dwarf spam build for bosses, then dont use any other skills and you should be able to maintain it indefinitely… I fail to see how the spell isnt OP for dungeons… Its not so good for PVP though…

I tried this build out in PVP and I managed to go on a rampage and get 10 kills on my second game

Necromancer says hi

lol. Anyway I tried my build with Jalis armour and its even better than Dire armour. I mean I had like full hp when I soloed a Veteran Stonehead

It’s because this game has a strong meta of “As much DPS as possible, as little utility as needed.”.
Basically: “Kill before you get killed.”

This has 2 major reasons:

• The “No forced holy trinity” in Guild Wars 2.
  Everyone can heal themselves well, support others and everyone can tank a bit if need be. Problem being the following…
• The Dodge Mechanic.
  “Why face-tank if you can simply evade?”
  A lot of players, especially those used to the game and its mechanics, focus entirely on DPS because Armour and Health simply aren’t much needed in most situations.

Even in Raids where the Trinity has seen some sort of return to a few groups.
The Druid as a dedicated healer (yet also supporter and damager!)
A Tank, which mostly damages but has a tiny bit more of toughness to maintain the aggro.
Everyone else is DPS.

Guild Wars 2 has a lot of combat customization, you can truly play as you want to.
But the general consensus happens to be that it’s most efficient to be offensive. (Not talking about Offensive Language although sPvP may convince you otherwise )

Anyhow, this is why Varezenem knew you’re a new player.
Then again I do not discourage your builds at all.
I love them and I wish more people would think outside the box known as the “Meta”.

To you, and everyone else, I say:
Play as you want to. Guild Wars 2 offers you the chance to do so, be sure to take it.
A party that is 100% “zerk” and completes a dungeon in 10 minutes or burns a boss to ashes in 30 seconds is efficient, but to me the fun is hard to spot in a composition like this.

If you happen to be a EU player, be sure to PM me any time if you want someone non-meta to play with!

I tried this build out in PVP and I managed to go on a rampage and get 10 kills on my second game, so yeh this build is good for PVP. I am able to solo Maguuma Jungle so far with the build as well. I tried the Revenant in the Maguuma Jungle during beta and I kept dying, but with my current build I havnt died once on the main storyline… I think I may try my build with Shamanic gear as healing would benefit this build more than toughness…

Does any1 know if these are any good?

How did you know?

Basically chose Invocation, Corruption and Retribution. Go for all the healing skills and chose the fire damage skill as your final skill for Corruption. Have dire everything, apart from your hammer, as the HP, Toughness and Condition damage is all you need… With this build I was able to defeat Zhaitan with the help of only 1 other person who is a pro, whose name is Agiel.6098. With this build I managed to tank the mouth of Orr till it was at half hp.

More tips – Use Embrace the Darkness straight away after healing, and Vengeful hammers continually as well, but switch out of them when you become low on energy.

Note: This build is terrible for PVP.

With Ascended Crafting can you sell the weapons you make? If so how much should I sell an ascended weapon for?
