Guild Wars 2

Ranged Thief build… Not only is it viable but it is super amazing. I have 4 level 80’s and this dude has the best survivability and kill factor. I have been wanting to share this build but really didn’t want anyone else to know… Even though no one will probably read this feed again lol. Well now’s the time I guess. Just follow these steps and you won’t regret it.
So this is a dual pistol build with signets and dagger storm. We’re going to have as many abilities as possible that siphon health while hitting as hard as possible with over load as many times as we can while constantly dodging.
Signet of malice- Steals health, and heals 2000
Assassin’s signet- + power and next five attack damage
Signet of agility- + precision and restores all endurance (super handy), removes one condition
Initiative signet- 2 extra initiative every ten seconds, and shadow step (not as handy but it also breaks stun which is!) We don’t use this one that much because the extra initiative is awesome.
We will use all of these (save Initiative signet- use it when stunned or really desperate for immediate imitative and stacks of might) when we run out of initiative. Note: if you use them all you can get 4 volleys of over load with 20 stacks of might. Also, this build gives you the ability to spam overload 12 straight times (one volley=7000+ damage) typically we will maintain 5+ stacks of might. Or just use all signets at once for maximum effect ?
Dagger storm- comes in handy in a pinch
Runes will be Lyssa. Use all 6 even though you don’t need condition duration you will want all the extra precision. Also, the 6th rune will allow you to remove all conditions every 60 seconds which, besides our power signet, is the only way to remove conditions. In addition, dagger storm reflects projectiles and when rune six is activated (typically when you get hit hard during dagger storm or after dagger storm is complete, if you take no damage) you also gain all boons for 5+ seconds. Note: If you’re attacked by 5 plus enemies and your health is low and you do dagger storm, you can go from 1000 health to 14500 in a matter of a couple seconds.
So all gear, weapons, and accessories need to be berserker (power, precision, and critical damage). Sigils on weapons will be siphon health on critical sigil. Overload uses both pistols so 2 sigils=twice the effect. We will not be glass cannons because we will put 30 points to vitality/boon duration (this is where we get survivability and for us vitality is better than toughness for multiply reason), 30 to precision/critical damage, and 10 to power/condition damage.
Traits are
Deadly arts= Sundering skys- causes vulnerability
Critical strikes= Signets of power, pistol mastery, signet use
Acrobatics= power of inertia, assassin’s reward (health upon use of initiative), quick recovery (more initiative!)
So this build, used with short bow for escaping, will give you tons of mobility. Strafe around enemies spam overload use signets when you need more initiative and dodge constantly. You should be able to dodge 6 times in a row. Remember you get buffs for not having full endurance. If things ever get hairy switch to short bow then dodge and shadow step out of there. So we have 3 things that give of life on hitting or using initiative. Our lack of power is made up by the stacks of might. We are constantly moving and dodging so no one can hit us and we generally have 14500 hit points which is more than most thieves. If you fight 1v1 you’ll most likely never lose and they will wonder why your health was full when they die. Did I mention you will be able to spam overload 13 times before running out of initiative. You could always throw in body shot, black powder, and head shot if you like. I typically just spam overload. Also remember when folks start running from you use infiltrator signet to catch up. Last if you want to really kick kitten use lvl 80 sharpening stones (more power, which we need) and lvl 80 ghost cookies for one more life stealing ability. Your welcome :P

Ah those are totals so my mistake you need 100 for each and 5 total. So it is 500… Well I feel like sheepish… But my complaint still stands cause I only have like 25 over like 10 hours of play still seems out of reach.

Thats what i thought too but on wiki its says you need five of each so thats 2500… I’ll check again. Yep it says 5 http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ascended_weapon

I’m super kitten ed right now. Why should I keep playing this game?! In short I spent hundreds of hours trying to get a legendary weapon only to give up about half way cause it’s just too much… Then we get a new update and we are able to craft ascended weapons. Well I need 2 pistols so I thought why not it doesn’t seem that hard… So I spend close to 90 gold trying to get one only to find out you need a total of 2500 dragonite ores and 2500 empyreal fragments just to make 1 vision crystal… I’m just guessing, but from what I’ve gathered now just to get one crystal would take 300+ hours of farming… NPCs only drop like 25 max. You would have to do the same events over and over again for hundreds of hours to get that much… The funny thing is bloodstone dust drops constantly… This is so ridiculous I want my money back so I can go back to getting a legendary, which is just a pipe dream anyway cause that’s not going to happen… I’ll never find or afford a Precursor… Thanks a lot arena net… I just want end game gear for a reasonable cost, but if I spent the time to get it I would never want to play again because of an outrageous amount of monotony… BTW have always loved the game I have four 80’s with amazing builds that I’m super proud of! Just don’t have anything else worth doing…

I’ve been having the same issue I’m trying a reinstall now not sure if it will work. I’ve had problems at boss fights during the story line quests. As soon as the boss is about to die I get fan acceleration and a black screen to a restart. I too know its not my PC I ran crysis 2 for hours today with no problem… Yeah so all the same indications but the fan sound only happens for a few seconds before the restart. Its weird it only happens at boss fights for me. If you have any luck with a fix please reply back.
