Guild Wars 2

Thanks for all the replies and helpful info!

Hey guys just a quick question: If you get a precursor from fractals whether from a mob, chest, daily, or whatever else will it be account bound? As far as I can tell every exotic from fractals is account bound. It would be a huge bummer to get like Dusk and have it just sit in my inventory…

Thanks for any replies!

P.S. I’m not sure where the best forum to place this topic is so if it needs to be moved, deleted, etc let me know.

Well thats reassuring seems like it’ll work well enough then.

So I need to replace my laptop as it’s literally falling apart (I had to use duct tape to keep it together…), and after doing some internetting I think I’m going for something along these lines:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152369

So any ideas of how well this sort of computer would run the game?

Also is this the right place to ask this or would tech support be more fitting? Though that forum seems to be centered around bugs.

Hmm branch wasn’t the right word, but the point still stands that you make desicions. In fact the distinction you make between “how it’s done” and “how it should be done” are hardly that different, but again that’s an issue aside from Trahearne’s characterization.

Also the true brancing you call for would take a ridiculous amount of work, not to mention the continuity problems that would arise. Voice work, writing, making quests, and all the components that go into the stroy take time and resources it’s not so simple to add so many layers to the story.

“just shifting some quest scripts here and there, and moving some quests earlier or later in the story. And recording more dialogue.” I don’t think you realize how much effort something like this would actually entail. Though now again we’re straying into topics that I don’t have much to say on.

As for the Destiny’s Edge thing I suppose I don’t feel one way or the other about it.

Also @ ThiBash some characters do return or show up, though their role is so insignificant I wouldn’t be surprised if you didn’t notice.

Wow those are some hefty posts!

I fear we aren’t really on the same subject, you have a lot of complaints about the story which, not to sound dismissive, aren’t something I care enough about to discuss. Not that what you’re saying isn’t valid or worth the interlocution, it’s just I don’t feel any real emotion regarding the story, how it’s deployed, or its peripheries so I have no desire to debate on those topics…if that makes any sense.

The only places in the lore/story where I have problems are 1) The terrible handling of humans and thier lore-but that’s a very different topic-and 2) The unfairness that gets thrown Trahearne’s way.

I understand narratively he steals your thunder, so-to-speak, but the point is he is not a glory thief like some people make him out to be. Every encounter with him shows in very unsubtle ways his eagerness to share the credit, and even to heap it on everyone but himself. Honestly, whether or not he is a good leader, or is a good character from a literary standpoint is secondary to me. I suppose I’m an apologist but I think people should stop saying he’s some power-hungry, meglomaniac because it’s patently false. Got other problems with Trahearne? Fine by me. It’s ok to hate Trahearne I just wish more people would hate him based on facts.

To address more specificly some of the things you said…

One thing that stood out to me is the supposed lack of agency people seem to perceive. You wrote “he tells you what must be done every time, and gives you little choice” which is simply untrue. At nearly every quest step he consults you on how to proceed and we are even given a choice on what quest to undertake next through the game’s own mechanics. The fact that there branching storylines is proof that you do get choices.

I understand this is Trahearne’s story, no argument there, the problem then of course is does that bother you? Obviously it seems to be the case that it indeed bothers a vast majotiy of the player base (I’m one of the few who don’t mind suppose). But because it is his story doesn’t mean he’s the credit-stealing fiend everyone makes him out to be. He doesn’t steal anything from your character (in fact the PC suggests he become the Pact’s leader). But I suppose in a sense he steals something from the player themselves. Though angst caused by that should not be conflated with flaws in his character that simply don’t exist.

P.S. I have no idea what “Oh and disable textile on the forum pls.” means

Firstly to address your 5 page comment, well just because a lot of people say something doesn’t make it so. Least of all on the internet of all places…

But anyway most of what you said is fine by me, and I can understand being annoyed at not being the central character, which I guess is a matter of preference or taste. What I was getting at is what seems to be the biggest complaint lobbied against Trahearne: which is he takes all the credit and steals all the glory. My point was this is not true at all. Disliking him for other reasons may be valid (insofar as they are very subjective), and yours seem to be. Though they are tangential to his actual characterization.

Of course problems with the story in general like how it’s written, or not being the main character are a separate issues from what I was trying to address.

Aranel.2837:

asimo: he’s meaning to run -repair in the .exe… unfortunately I tried this today several times and it has not corrected the problem. our best bet right now is to run -diag as Jason has advised and let them poke around at the logs.

Ah ok thanks for the info. I’ll try these things if I encounter the problem again. Hopefully I won’t…

Well I just got into Straits of Devastation (Temple of Balth is contested again yay!), but I wouldn’t be surprised to encounter the issue again. A few hours ago I was able to play normally but the error came back, hopefully it’s gone for good.

I get timed out from the loading screen and receive a 7:11:3:189:101 connection error. What do you mean by repair, DeadPhone? Is this something we can do on our end?

Actually I retract my previous post. Now Straits of Devastion won’t load. I used the Temple of Balthazar WP (since it’s uncontested for once) and it refused to load. I alt-f4’d tried again (game said I was already in Straits). Now I can hear the ambient noise of the zone but still not loading. So much for getting Obsidian Shards…

What’s odd is the game was working fine before I tried going to Orr. Things loaded fine, I switched zones but Orr won’t work and what’s even more frustrating is it’s when Balth is open for once, I even bought a Karma booster so I could get rid of all that liquid Karma.

Ok I don’t know what happened but everything seems to be working now. I don’t know what you guys did but thanks anyway :p

Well now I’m getting all sorts of connection bugs, and can’t even log in. Though when it does work I still can’t load, or the load screen times out and gives me a connection error.

I’m on Gandarra and I just recently tried to load my character-several times-who’s in Lion Arch, and been stuck on a loading screen for several minutes (far longer than usual). Basically I can’t play the game which is lovely.

Another thing that just popped into my head: People criticize him for getting the Order’s leader’s opinions on him during Forging the Pact. If anything a good leader should be concerned about how his soldiers feel about him.

So I will admit that I didn’t read all 5 pages of this thread since it’s a lot but I wanted to basically say a lot of the Trahearne hate is completly unwarranted if you pay attention to the actual dialouge.

I’ll try to cover the main reason why people hate him:

1) He steals my glory, he’s power hungry, takes all the credit, etc.

This one is is very silly since if you read any of his lines he likes to mention almost ad nauseum that the Pact did it not him. In the quest Forging the Pact after you save the Priory team a charr member personally thanks Trahearne who then says “no the pact did it not me” or something to that effect. This is important because without him you actually would have failed that mission (he summons the Flesh Golems and clears the path). Also people seem to forget that your character suggests he becomes the leader of the Pact (At the end of Claw Island I believe) and he is very hesitant to do so. Yes what a glory hog he is taking you up on your offer. Not to mention the countless times he displays confidience and trust in you. None of his lines show him to be stealing credit in fact he harps on about unity, the Pact, workng together, and all that jazz all the time.

2) His voice acting is off, his personality is dry, he’s a wimp, etc

Well firstly, a lot of this is obviously more subjective than the other complaint but still a lot of the whining is a bit silly. I for one like that we have a level headed calm scholar type. Not everyone is going to be a cliche grizzled warrior (Forgal). That’s just boring. Also his lines don’t really require the sort of range you people are looking for, honestly he talks like a normal person since most of the dialogue he has is in a relaxed situation. Most of the dialogue with NPC’s happen at the end and beginning of a story mission, where there isn’t much action: mostly planning and reflection (two things smart scholarly types are good at). In the Pale Tree’s vision of Orr his phantom gives a speech to the Pact soldiers which has the emotion you people seem to be looking for. Of course it’s tempered which fits his personality.

I think this is just another case of the internet overreacting and not thinking. It seems a few people don’t like him for some silly reason, or they just skipped the story. And so everyone just bandwagoned on the hate. I can get not liking his personality and stuff but the whole glory hog thing is ludicrous since everything about him points to him acting in the exact opposite way. Then again people seem to love Countess Anise because she wears a corset and has a raspy voice. Internet peoples be fickle I guess.

I also have a feeling that Kormir got treated the same way, while truthfully I don’t remember the specifics of Nightfall’s story I do remember going through it and not feeling shafted by her. You know people like to throw out the word entitlement when talking about gamers these days but I never thought it would seep into the story. It’s actually interesting to not be the main character for once and to experience the story from a different angle.

TLDR version: The main complaint of Trahearne stealing glory isn’t valid since he does the exact opposite.

I’m at the point where I think I’ll stick with Rune of the Soldier and Knight’s gear. Right now I’m at 10/20/0/20/10 and just need to decide if I want those last 10 points in Tactics for Vigorous Shouts or the last 10 in Strength for Slashing Power. I did take points out of Arms since my crit chance with Knight’s gear and tons of Fury is high enough for my purposes, and I really didnt need the Blademaster Trait.

I’ve had the same problem (been days now and the mail is lost somewhere in cyber-space) and my mailbox for every character is always empty, I delete things right after I open them. I suppose a ticket is in order?

Honestly I’m not particularly drawn to either support or pure damage, I just kinda saw some synergies here and there and out popped the builds I posted. I do admit I guess I was being selfish, so-to-speak, in evaluating those healing shouts, the fact that it is party wide is something to consider.

But then of course with the new build I can get 22%+ extra damage (and might be even more if I go Berserker) so I wonder if the best defense is a good offense. If I can help my party lay down the DPS do I need to help with some heals when the enemy could just be killed faster? Tbh I’m not sure what the answer is, but I guess that’s why we have this topic

Also I am pretty set on keeping Shouts just maybe not going so deep into Tactics, unless of course it turns out that’s the way to go.

Thanks for the input btw!

Well thanks to the last two posters, seems like there is civil discourse on these forums after all :P

@Last Day tbh the Blood is Power was a bit of an afterthought, the other Wells felt a bit redundant and I had a Curses Trait to fill, so Blood is Power meshed with the corruption cooldown trait.

Also I do realize I seem to be be pulling myself between Power and Cond Damage I need to find a bit more dircetion, good thing Might improves both. Also Carrion is an interesting choice, do you guys think I should bother with Precison or Prowess with this build? I think I’ve been drinking the Berserker Kool Aid a bit too much recently so now I find myself constant wondering if ththat’s the gear and stats to increase.

Lastly, Well of Blood is indeed a little underwhelming, I pretty much took it becaue “hey another Well” that being said Blood Minion didnt seem too hot to me either. Consume Condiitons seems like it might be the best heal, though I do wonder if the Sylvari heal is any good. Never bothered with racials.

@Fireline That’s an interesting build, a bit too heal-y for my tastes but I have wondered if that’s the direction I should go in. Interesting that you have such a long range weapon and a short range one. Even though they aren’t exactly the weapon sets I’m using seeing other builds still gives insight on how to play a certain class.

Thanks for the input guys!

“You can’t use the forums like some kind of mastery development cheat code.” Not sure what this means. I guess you think I’ll just copy and paste whatever I see here and hope to win? If that were the case I wouldn’t have doubted you in the first place would I?

Ok I know what Death Shroud is and how it works, just not the abbreviation so thanks for that. Also I made it pretty clear in my first post the only caveat I really have is keeping my weapon sets as is. So much for reading the first post and all that.

Still no explanantion on: “set up 20 stacks of vunerability” sounds great how can I do it?

Or…"and clean up all your targets without having to down them.” As far as I can tell “clean up your targets” is a euphemism for defeating them but isn’t downing them the same thing? This sentence is just confusing.

Also I’m surprised we’re friends now.

Ugh why can’t we just talk nomrally. I read your first post and it wasn’t clear to me, and I would have liked an explanantion but that’s not what I got. You say ranged wells have merit, got it, then you say it is bridged with a clear description of that merit, which is where I disagree (which is ok btw diagreeing is part of the whole process). Usually this means you offer some sort of rationale or clarity.

Here if we start over take these posts: “And you also don’t know about how extremely powerful ranged wells are when you used them to set up 20 stacks of vunerability, blood is power with epidemic, and Death Shroud 4 on everything around you. All safely from outside melee range, on the run, enhancing mobility…”

and…“Focused Rituals gives you ranged burst potential that you cannot achieve otherwise. Drop Wells, Control with Marks/dagger3/focus5, swap to DS and clean up all your targets without having to down them.”

It is not clear to me what you are saying. It could be great advice but that’s besides the point I would have liked clarity not insults then I could understand where you are coming from, and hey maybe we could even agree.

Also I’m pretty emotionally stable, I only cried for a little bit. But seriously, if your next post is just more unpleasantness, e-psychology, and poop references then I’ll think I’ll pass. Though it’s rather quaint, really you must think you’re rather witty.

Well this topic turned out to be a disaster. You seem to be suggessting that you’re so great and awesome people should just shut up and listen to you. The whole process of digesting material is a back and forth. A one sided conversation does nothing for anybody except inflate egos. I would have been happy to receive the rationale behind your advice since it’s silly to just accept something without understanding why it’s important. But, it seems like you’re more interested in just being unpleasant than actually helping out.

If I can break it down: I ask for info, I recieve info, wanting to better understand the info and why someone thinks it’s great advice I ask questions, play devil’s advocate, etc. Normal people explain their reasoning so that it’s clear why these are good choices. Instead you decided to just insult and talk about poop. So you see there’s no “I want to tell the world how great of a Necromancer I am!” In fact I know I’m a novice hence the existence of this topic, but to expect the education process to be: “I talk you listen” is pretty archaic. Socratic method yo.

Also why are you taking this so personally?

As for vicious: meh it’s just shorthand so people immediatley know what you’re talking about. Well-based Necromancer is a lot more tedious to type and say than Wellcromancer. People get annoyed by the strangest most inconsequential things.

Also man I’m verbose sorry

Well thanks for edifying me oh great one, yeesh. Just trying to gain a better understanding of the class through discourse is all, but thanks for the attitude.

I mean the whole point of this topic is to get advice and experience else I wouldn’t have posted anything, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to question and poke at what people are saying, that’s just conversation. It’s not personal.

Not understanding some of the jargon here: I have an offhand Dagger so Dagger 3 doesn’t help and no Focus so Focus 5 is also irrelevant, and not sure what DS is. Also what do you mean “clean up your targets without having to down them”.

As for the interrupts or stuns: in PvE, outside of Orr, there aren’t so many stuns that getting a little close is impossible. In fact you can probably get through most content without ever really needing Stability except for maybe a few bosses.

Like I said it takes just a few seconds to reposition yourself and lay down a Well. I find this to be a very mobile game and players are on the move quite a bit so squeezing in for a Well drop then retreating a bit isn’t that hard especially with an AoE Cripple, Chill, and Fear.

Hmm I’m feeling berserker more, I like to buff precision so I think I’ll give that a go. Also plenty of Runes and other slottables to complement that.

Anyway thanks for all the help to everyone!

Ooh! Thanks for the in depth response! For the first one I’d probably drop the rest into Wilderness Survival to buff Sword and Offhand. However, it’s the 2nd build that I like a lot.

Though I disliked GW1 pets they are far cooler this time around, and I like that this build takes advantage of the Ranger’s unique mechanic. As it stands none of my characters have a pet/sidekick type of playstyle so that sounds fun. I don’t mind getting a GS for this build but it seems my current weapons would work just as well. I think I might just use this one

Just one last question if I could bother you, but what sort of gear should I take for this build?

Hmm thanks for the input.

However, I do find Wells to have a rather large area of effect and with just a tiny bit of movement I can place them where I want them. In other words Focused Rituals makes using Wells more convenient but doesn’t give me access to anything I already can’t do.

What should I replace Pure of Voice with? Also I think I do have that Consecration, you mean Purging Flames right? Also what does AH stand for?

Hmm for some reason I tend to forget pets even exist. I think it has to do with Ranger being my GW1 main and despising pets, so that bias has carried over a bit.

While I really appreciate the advice my only caveat to all this is keeping the weapon sets (I hope that’s not too stubborn). My biggest flaw or concern when playing video games is I always place a bigger emphasis on style rather than stats, and I just happen to really dig the look of the longbow (going for Eir’s Longbow). Not to mention I already have spent a fair amout of money on skins across all my characters.

Perhaps in order to wean me off conditions and therefore the shortbow would a more direct damage build be better? Or perhaps somehting pet centric? Truth be told so far I haven’t had too many problems with PvE but no harm in a little optimization.

Taking things into consideration I think I would try something like this: http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mVRM0kMzMoRNamoRNamGG0GaVscaoRo8khT707kie70z7070z7kNc70V7owX70m

Having looked up the healing on Vigorous Shouts I have to say I’m not too impressed, and I don’t find survivabilty to be too hard for me as is. This new build has a potential 22% increase to damage if I’m sitting on a full adrenaline bar (which I think I can safely, I don’t think my burst skills are really game changers) and using a GS. Not to mention whatever extra damage I’m getting from the Power increase. I do lament losing some of that boon duration but I think the buffs still last a plenty long time. So does this look better?

Oh forgot to add I wouldn’t mind keeping a Scepter and/or Staff in my pocket for encounters that demand a ranged option.

Ok, so I decided I might as well go post all my builds around to see what’s what. If you frequent other classes’ boards you’ll probably see another one of my topics there asking for advice.

Anyway, to preface I pretty much just play PvE and I’m open to just about all suggestions but I’d like to keep my weapon sets. But in the Mesmer’s case I’d be willing to keep a GS sword in my inv if I need it,

Here’s what I’ve been using: http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mcmMcc0zMMRnrmMRnrmx9MaxMRbMVRs8khS7khA7khG7070M7kIB70V7owZ70m

Here’s what I’m thinking of now: http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mcmMcc0zMMTnrmMTnrm0GGpVMmmaVk08070V7kGf70V7ofD70m

The first build is more in the spirit of the Mesmer (at least the GW1 one) if that makes sense. Confusion, Dazes/Stuns basically punishing and controlling one foe or in other words being a pain in the kitten :P To be honest it works fine so far; I’ve done every dungeon, I frolic around Orr and other 80 zones and have been able to get by rather well but I’m looking for some more oomph or at least to switch it up.

For my new build I was thinking something more Phantasm based and possible tanky or glass cannony (Phantasms seem to be able to go either way). I probably want to go full Berserker here and buff precision/prowess wherever I can.

Lastly how does cool-down stack? There seems to be ways to get a lot of improved recharge like for example “Illusion summoning skills recharge 20% faster” plus “Weapon XXXX skills recharge 20%” would these sort of traits stack?

Ok, so I decided I might as well go post all my builds around to see what’s what. If you frequent other classes’ boards you’ll probably see another one of my topics there asking for advice.

Anyway, to preface I pretty much just play PvE and I’m open to just about all suggestions but I’d like to keep my weapon sets.

OK here are 2 builds I was thinking of:

http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mzsMM9Mz0MxMLMoxMLM0x0axcsoMzab

http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mzsMM9Mz0MxMLMoxMLM0x0xacoszMmz

My biggest problem is always survivability so I wonder should I get gear like Soldier’s/Valkyrie’s? Or go all out glass canon and get Berserker. This also applies to runes should I be getting something Like Dolyak/Wurm or Eagle?

For the Arcana heavy build there seems to be a lot of ways to get endurance back and I’m not sure whats the most effective trait for this: 25% endurance on arcane/signet activation? Better Endurance regen with scepter? Vigor on crits? If someone knows what the best one would be that would be helpful. Also I’m not sure if the last trait should be Evasive Arcana or not I quite like that one especially if I’m getting lot of endurance.

Lastly In general I would like to keep an air focus if possible and to a lesser extent an arcana/water one but if there’s no way to make use of those trait lines so be it. Only the weapons are really set in stone.

Ok, so I decided I might as well go post all my builds around to see what’s what. If you frequent other classes’ boards you’ll probably see another one of my topics there asking for advice.

Anyway, to preface I pretty much just play PvE and I’m open to just about all suggestions but I’d like to keep my weapon sets.

http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mMcM0cMzMMvNLmMvNLm9MxxaVsqMsqo8070V7kGj70M7kIM70M7ofF70m

So this build is a mix of healing/support but also being able to get into the thick of things. Rather than straight up heals I decided I wanted to try to be supporty in more interesting ways hence no Staff for example. While I’m open to all suggestions I actually quite like this build: a lot of Protection, Regen, and a few blocks to keep me on the frontlines while alos buffing allies.

Ok, so I decided I might as well go post all my builds around to see what’s what. If you frequent other classes’ boards you’ll probably see another one of my topics there asking for advice.

http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mVVczm0zMoMxFooMxFo0GGx0MkmVcRb8070q7ow170m

So pretty straightforward. I don’t like the idea of Minion Masters (which are UP anyway, or so I have heard). And a trap/mine/mark type of game-play is something I don’t really have with my other characters so it could be fun to play around with. As with most of my characters one of the big questions for me is what gear to use, so far I think maybe rabid.

Anyway, to preface I pretty much just play PvE and I’m open to just about all suggestions but I’d like to keep my weapon sets.

Here’s the build: http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mckmzMMzMoovFMoovFM0GpGVMRzRMa

Ok to be frank I’m awful with Thief and have no idea where to go with skills and gear, so I’m all ears. Only caveat is I’d like to keep those weapons. Or more accurately any combination of the following: 1 Sword, 1 Dagger, 2 Pistols.

Ok, so I decided I might as well go post all my builds around to see what’s what. If you frequent other classes’ boards you’ll probably see another one of my topics there asking for advice.

Anyway, to preface I pretty much just play PvE and I’m open to just about all suggestions but I’d like to keep my weapon sets. Also before anyone yells at me for not having ranged option I do carry a Longbow for those certain encounters that require range, otherwise I find most PvE content, sans a few dungeon bosses, can be melee’d.

Here’s the build: http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mVRM0kMzMoRNamoRNam0x0xacaRoRbo8khT707kie70z7070z7kNc70V7owX70m

I think the synergies should be fairly obvious as well as the rationale. Basically I can have Might, Fury and Swiftness on almost all the time and on crits I can lay down Might, Bleed and Vulnerability. For gear I think Soldier runes for sure but then maybe Knight’s or Berserkers? I would like something with Precisionat the very least, even with the essentially perma Fury a little more crit chance would be nice.

Ok, so I decided I might as well go post all my builds around to see what’s what. If you frequent other classes’ boards you’ll probably see another one of my topics there asking for advice.

Anyway, to preface I pretty much just play PvE and I’m open to just about all suggestions but I’d like to keep my weapon sets. Though for Ranger I don’t mind getting a GS in addition to what I already have.

So here it is: http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mmoc0VmzMmRavmmRavmGGx9McaMaoka8070q7ow170m

I find Ranger to be a bit odd, nothing pops out for me so I kinda just made…something. There’s not much to say about it, I have a hard time finding any obvious synergy with Ranger. Also for gear I’m thinking Berserker, Rabid or Rampager perhaps.

Ok, so I decided I might as well go post all my builds around to see what’s what. If you frequent other classes’ boards you’ll probably see another one of my topics there asking for advice.

Anyway, to preface I pretty much just play PvE and I’m open to just about all suggestions but I’d like to keep my weapon sets. And in this case the grenades (or bombs).

So here’s the build: http://www.guildhead.com/skill-calc#mMMM9cz0MogamMogamxa0x0MRqoMRs8070q7owY70m

Pretty simple: grenades and elixirs. So I’m just looking for general feedback and comments especially on gear. I was thinking Soldier I guess? Rather generic but Power Toughness Vitality seems safe if not a little boring.

First let me say my Inbox was not full, I never let anything linger in there I keep it nice and clean.

Anyway so the player Nifty.5460 sent me mail with 250 Ancient Bones, and on his end it said it was sent successfully and he no longer has the bones. I however haven’t recieved anything and his materials are still missing. We know he sent it to me since he right-clicked on my charcters portrait so no chance it was someone else.

And this was during a dungeon (CoF if that matters).

Would be nice to get those mats :/

Hold on just to make sure, is there no way to preview changes before spending gems? It would be nice to be able to tinker with the creator then see if you want to spend gems on one or not, otherwise that’s rather lame.

Also it would be nice to get any sort of preview system on the TP…But it’s good something like this exists at all.

Ok I’ll keep things brief, firstly if I have 2 Sigils of Paralyzation-one in my main hand the other in my off hand-would they stack? And would a full set of Rune of the Mesmer further stack with said sigils? Also how does Condition Duration from traits and things like Rune of Nightmares affect Daze, if at all?
