Guild Wars 2

I’d like a devs response to this topic. I don’t ever really take the time to post on the forums, but this is really starting to bother me. I get it. It’s a free game and they need to make money. I have absolutely no problem throwing money to the TP to buy things that I know I’m getting.

I used to get black lion key drops at a decent rate but it seems the drop rate was nerfed since I don’t even recall the last time I looted one. I have over 50 chests just sitting in my bank because I refuse to buy keys. I will never invest my money is keys, chests, or any other RNG item and I wish that ANET would really consider alternative methods. Eventually, people will be turned away by this. I hate to say it, but there is no reason other than greed to implement this type of system. The worst part is that as long as people are willing to pay it will most likely continue. I know for a fact that even more people would buy things if they knew what they were getting.

I just want to hear from them on this matter and what they have to say.

How’s the survivability with that little toughness? Unless your dodging everything perfectly, I would imagine this would be pretty squishy. I know in very high level fractals it doesn’t really matter, but for everything besides that…

Edit: I just read one of your other posts on the “Can Guardians DPS” forum which answered my question above. I’ll give this a shot, thanks!

I’m also open to other feedback if anyone else has some suggestions.

What’s up everyone.

Ok, so I’m in need of some help here. I’ve done quite a bit of searching on the forums and have found a lot of good info, but I need some help putting it all together to fit the playstyle that I’m aiming for.

I love the “Healway” build for WvW but need something else for general solo PVE/dungeons/fractals. Something that has much better DPS. Hopefully one day ANet will give us dual builds but that’s another topic.

I’m really itching to come up with a strong build focusing on sword/shield & greatsword combo for dungeons and maybe sword/focus & greatsword for solo PVE. I’ve been messing around with buildcraft and came up with a starting point, but I need your guys to help me fine tune it for max potential. Right now I’m thinking about a 0/30/20/10/10 or 0/30/20/20/0 focusing on right-hand strength from Radiance and Honorable Shield from Valor. After that I was considering whether I should go 10 into virtues or drop that and go for 2-Handed Master.

Here’s the full setup.

My goal is to be able to dps while being able to be somewhat tanky and also be able to provide good support through shouts/boons. I’d like to have more boon duration, but I don’t think I can do that without sacrificing some defense or dps on runes. I want to be careful not to not spread myself too thin.

Basically, I’m looking for any advice on tweaking the build, sigils, runes, and gear to help get as close to my goal as possible.

Thanks in advance!
