Guild Wars 2

Hey there,
You might want to check out Vanguard of the Sword if you want a fun community to play with! I’ve attached our info below

If anyone’s willing to move or guest in order to represent in Stormbluff Isle, I can offer a very noob-friendly guild: Vanguard of the Sword. We haven’t been around for long, and aren’t very big yet, but we’re quite experienced so we’re happy to help you out as you grow and help us flesh out the guild. I’ve attached an image with the guild info below

Hi there, not sure if you’re still looking for a guild, but if you’re on or are willing to move to Stormbluff Isle, Vanguard of the Sword might be for you…
The leaders operate on Australian Eastern Standard Time, so we’re usually on from 10pm to 5 or 6am PDT. I’ve attached an image with our guild info. Feel free to message me if you’re interested

Check the attachment for our guild info!

I understand where you’re coming from; with a full DPS group you can blaze through a dungeon just as well as, if not better than a well-rounded group. This is, in my opinion, unfortunate. It means people playing CoF will LFG with ‘Zerk warriors ONLY’ and stupid stuff like that. Really disappointing.
I am personally thoroughly into support. I enjoy condi removal, boon sharing and healing. Sometimes I tank too. With the removal of these specific role in GW2, I try and maintain reasonable damage, but I still think it’s important to support the team.
I have been in dungeons with full berserker parties, and have seen one person dying cause the whole group’s DPS to plummet and because nobody has any defence, the whole group wipes. Chalk that up to lack of experience if you want, but I really feel like there needs to be more support and because I enjoy support I want to build my ele like that.
I’ll keep the damage up of course, attunement dancing takes care of that, but having good heals and combo fields is important too for me.
I respect full DPS builds, and selfish builds are often the best in general, but without coordination and support, a dungeon run can far more easily fall apart, and even if it doesn’t, it’s nowhere near as fun. And that’s to what it all boils down.

I just hit 94% completion today. I think the worst part of completion can be the repetativeness. I did about 70% of it in levelling my first character, so it’s not too much of a pain for me. I’d rather do that than grind gold.
That said, I may not have to. In the next patch it looks like you can craft precursors using T7 mats you get from JP’s and mini-dungeons!

You could pretty much sell dusk and use the profit to make a non-greatsword legendary, but if you want to make Twilight then you’ve got the hardest bit covered.

What sort of builds do you run Baladir?

Interesting what you’re saying, but I’d have to disagree with you on defensive or support build being useless. My main is a tank/heal based guardian, and that works really well. I focus on AoE healing with high healing power, so I can stay alive, take a lot of the damage and keep my party alive too.
The people I usually play with are a berserker warrior, a turret support engi, a boons/damage mesmer and a condition based necro and we always chat through teamspeak. I get where you’re coming from in that a bunker build won’t help me with freeroam PvE, but I play a lot of coordinated dungeon runs, so I think a more defensive build will suit me better

This is my lovely ele ^^

Wow that set looks great! What armour are you using for it?

15k vitality!? Jesus! I might try for 15k health instead
But thanks heaps, that’s really helpful

So if I were to go into a 0/10/0/30/30 build, what sort of gear would I want for healing and damage output with defence as third importance? Precision vitality healing or something like that?

Thanks for the replies!
I’ve had a look around and a x/x/x/30/30 build looks good. I’d like to base it around power more than crit chance/dmg though, for more consistent damage. Would a 10/0/0/30/30 build with Power Toughness Healing gear work for heal support with acceptable DPS?

I’m creating a new ele to play through and I’ve never played it before.
I have levelled other characters to 80 so I generally know what’s going down, but I’m completely new to ele.
What is the best build for levelling and what is the best support build at 80? I generally run a lot of dungeons with zerkers, so I’d like a support build (I hear water is quite good for that sort of thing).
Anyone know of any good ones?

I like Scarlet as a villain in terms of character, and the voice acting is brilliant, but I have to say she really appeared out of nowhere. She was hinted at during the previous living story when Rox was trying to snipe her, but otherwise she’s really just popped up.
I knew the watchknights would be evil the second I saw them though.

I play guard as my main and love it. I have a full tank and a full zerker build I swap when I feel like it.
In terms of other classes, there’s no real ‘best’ class for fun, but check out the class threads here on the forums to get the feel of how people play them and what you can do with them.

I too went for a planty theme. Not sure if the illumination dye is overdoing it and I should just go with the pure green with the desert rose as highlight.
