Guild Wars 2

So you are trying to convince people who are undercutting you not to? That’s like trying convince Hitler to like Jews. Goodluck with that. Also, who are you to tell other people how to sell their stuff?

Seriously, where is Virtual Reality? I’m tired of using a mouse and keyboard. I want to use my hands to swing my virtual sword!

It’s most probably perception. I can see this happening; say you are fighting three mobs, you take down one, now that respawn timer sets, then it takes another 30-60 seconds to kill the last 2 mobs and then boom, the first mob respawns again. This happens often to me. This is especially frustrating because I like to challenge myself by taking out mobs or groups of mobs that are hard to solo. I end up dying because mobs are re-spawning before you can finish off the existing ones.

I “focused” on healing and rezzing but I also did as much damage as I could, swapping when heals were down, but apparently that wasn’t enough. I solo most of the time so I know how to do damage and and specced mostly for damage. It just seems crazy that the amount of time I spent healing and rezzing reduced my rewards that much…

Any skills that use a line of attack as opposed to a circle of attack just annoy me. The line is hard to line up and if a mob moves at all it becomes pointless.

It would be awesome if we could setup weapon sets that we can easily switch between out of combat. Having to search through bags or the Hero screen in between fights is annoying and can be dangerous in the open world. I know we aren’t supposed to have the weapon switch because we have stance switches in combat bla bla bla, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have access to this feature out of combat.

I know other games have macros that you can setup to switch weapons but I haven’t found this feature in GW2.

…unless something changes. Hey, I’m a nice guy, but I like to get equal rewards. A group formed last night to kill a purple champion mob. People were dying a lot so instead of dishing out damage I decided to focus on healing and rezzing. The fight lasted probably around 15 mins. I know…it’s only 15 mins…but I have very limited playtime and I like to get the most out of it. After the guy finally goes down I get a Bronze reward! Yay, thanks for all your hard work of keeping everyone alive! I go to open my chest rewards and I don’t have access to it!?! WTF!?!

Yea…as I said…never healing again.

Strang.8170:

….but i can´t refrain from commenting that staff really is group support weapon rather than dps tool.

err…I dps like nutz with fire/staff. Of course I’m only 50 and still mostly solo leveling around the world, but I haven’t yet run into something I couldn’t take down. I’ve tried switching in and out different specs and weapons, but for me nothing goes down faster than fire/staff. Everyone plays differently but for me, I don’t have any complaints with the dps of the staff.

So I have been leveling my elementalist and having a blast. Currently I’m about to hit 50. I went through all the weapons as I leveled and I found myself going back to my staff/fire spec almost every time. I’m specced in fire for increased dps and air, since I love the run speed boost for getting around, but I almost always use my fire stance for fighting. I have lots of green gear and I focus almost mainly on power and precision stats. My staff hits hard as hell. Just auto-attacking is enough to take out some mobs, throw in my 2nd and 3rd spell and they are usually down before they even get to me. I have 2 extra aoe spells picked for the right toolbar and whenever I get a few mobs on me, I cast them and my #5 spell and the mobs fall dead around me. Of course I die sometimes, and I am super squishy, but I take stuff down so fast it usually isn’t a problem. Anyway, have seen most people saying they prefer the s/d spec but I definitely love my staff spec and thought I would share some lovins.

Having the same exact issue, every other part of the game is fine, but the plains of ashford really lags bad sometimes. Have to restart client to fix it.
