Guild Wars 2

Same for me. Picked a character hit the button to start and nothing happens. Eventually got a client error message relating to not being able to access server.

Anyone else having this problem. I used to be able to use the alt or option key on on a Windows keyboard attached to a an iMac in order to get the option to select an amount of items from a stack in order to split the stack.
As far as I’m aware I have changed no settings on my computer or keyboard but that option no longer works. I cannot find a way to split a stack of items.
Anyone have a clue as to what could be wrong?

Forgot to post the build:

Here is my advice. It worked for me.

I’m assuming you are starting Verdant Brink without unlocking elite and no head start on mastery points. Going full Berserker under those conditions is insanity. You must start with a minion master necro in full Soldier’s gear. People tell you that you need to learn how to fight the new mobs. How can you do that if you die all the time? You won’t die as a minion master necro in full soldier’s.

You DO NOT need ascended armor or weapons or trinkets. Exotic soldier’s for everything will be just fine. Trust me.

Use a staff and dagger/warhorn or axe/warhorn. Stand back and let your pets do the killing. You’ll have close to 30,000 hit points and be tough as nails. The reason this works is that while you don’t kill exceptionally fast you can kill just about anything in a reasonable time and stay alive. Trust me it works. Your goal the first time out is not to kill fast but to map the area, become familiar with the area without having the benefit of the elite and the masteries and to build up hero and mastery points.

This is not what I would recommend for your second or third character but for your first it is essential. You can’t learn anything if you die all the time and you will die all the time in zerker gear. Once you learn the maps, the encounters and the things you have to fight then sure you can use zerker gear. BUT NOT THE FIRST TIME THROUGH.

This build is cheap and highly survivable. You can solo most of the hero point champs with it and you can use it to build up mastery and hero points. It is not my build. I found it somewhere in the forums and I can’t recall who posted it. My thanks to that person. Here is the basic build. I promise that if you go to Verdant Brink with this you will achieve your goals.

I’ve tried other defensive builds for pve but they tend to suffer so much on the damage end that it just doesn’t work. Reaper is probably the only other one that worked for me. I’m wondering if trailblazer’s armor would work on another class besides a Mesmer. The Mesmer with defensive build can really crank out some decent damage with all the clones and phantasm shatters. It works well for me. The only drawback is the cost.

That is a really fun build. I just tried it out and haven’t played much with it but I really enjoyed it. You’re tough and hard to kill with the trailblazer toughness and vitality stats and you pop up clones very easily. Takes longer to kill than a zerk build of course but not that much longer and much more survivable. Clone and phantasm generation is very fast. Its a good balance of offense and defense. I only went with exotic gear to try it out. Its and expensive build with all the maguuma lillies you need to craft the armor
Thanks for putting on the forum.
