Guild Wars 2

So i have done the Northern tower capture event 4 times now , and i still dont get the northern tower taker achievement , killed the stavemaster 5 times now and still no achievement… and to make things better managed to kill the secret mushroom , got the invisible mushroom spore on my mesmer… and it unlocked the collection for my warr… wtf is this?

it sucks , there are so many mobs that dont give exp or loot , it just doesnt make any sense

Backstab… a kittening stab to a persons back should be always a critical hit and ignore inmunities.

Thanks! Im gonna give it a shot , i mainly use D/D for backstabs , not a big fan of swords here jaja

Hello everyone! After a bit over a year i decided to try GW2 again. So before spending gold i decided to come here for advice. So far my thief has a set of zerker jewelry zerker weapons and before quitting i was half way of getting my ascended valkyries armor. Is valkyrie good for a D/D thief? I plan on using it for both WVW and PVE. A friend of mine told me to go full zerker with zerker/valk jewelry but i´d rather not grind for jewelry unless you guys convince me its tottaly worth it.

What about ascended jewelry? Will we be able to change the stats on them as well?

So fellas after a loooooong break… i have decided to give gw2 another shot.. gonna keep playing my thief! So whats good these days? Was playing a full zerker with scholar runes for pve and a full valk on travelers last time… whats the deal with thief now? something i need to look into? last time i played was when they introduced that living story thingy

i have a mesmer alt and i dont wanna have to use more than one set though… gues i will give it a shot see how it goes

would this be viable on PvE?

1- New dungeons/dungeons paths or at least a hard mode for existing dungeons , that would reward with special tokens to buy ascended crap (armor , weapons, trinkets)
2- New weapon skills , so we can change them as if they were utilitys and please revamp or remove certain utilitys as there are many that are just uselles or doesnt match up with what other classes have to offer.
3- Stop once and for all the boring content that has players joining in a zerg to run around the map mindlessly killing things…. its boring!!! Release content so that you can actually party up with a grooup of 5 to 10 players and try to kill a hard boss or something , getting beaten up 10 times if necessary in order to succeed, i really find mega bosses/temples a really boring thing… main reason i have a hard time getting dragonite =/

i really dont like power builds… lack of cleave and most of dagger and axe skills simply suck… and even if you go full zerker the dmg is still too low(for my taste at least) so i for one choose conditions been using them since the game was released and im pretty happy with them

Scythe maybe… a dark book that unleashes souls or dark thingys maybe…. torch maybe… GS no… just no

i agree on pretty much all you guys have posted…. but what i want what i really really want are new minions… sort of like the undeads in Orr and things like that… the current minions just look too funny to even use =(

thx for the replies. i was thinking on using flamethrower in dungeons mostly using the trait that gives might while you wield the flamethrower…. ill give it a shot. I have to admit that this class is almost as fun as my necro xD

Mostly PvE , and some casual small scale WvW

Well i just made my engineer today and im having lot´s of fun with it so far.!
I just wanted to know what stats combination are good for engineer. Full zerker or maybe a combination of rampager/zerker? im planning on using Flametrower a lot and maybe grenades too. Im only thinking of doing pve for now. Thx in advance

Will we ever be able to craft it? or im am stuck on exotic cuz i dont like doing guild missions and fractals… what happenede to get the gear you want the way you want???

So what are you guys running with? and what do you use it mainly for?
Im currently running full rabid , just finished my 3 ascended weapons , doing mainly dungeons and small scale wvw… Like it so far but im thinking on trying full carrion , though im not making carrion ascended xD

loved the video! oh by the way… what does the sigil of bursting do???

yeah thats what im runnin… but i want to upgrade my pc a little so i might try that… just wanted to know if someone was running the game with something similar to what i want to buy , and was having any issues

Hello guys , im currently running an old phenom II x6 2.8ghz processor and an ATI 6950 video card… i have been running this for a few years now… but lately im getting low fps in the game especially in massive events… so i was thinking on upgrading to a Fx 8350 processor and an ati 7970… think that might do it?

would this work for running dungeons? im still lvling my warr and this one build caught my eye.. was runnin something like this without the regen from banners and was doing allright but that regen is insane xD

wow tomorrows the new patch…. i can see it already more awesome content , more awesome lag

i tried to log in on my thief just now and i get this error… i can log on to any of my other characters but i cant log on to my thief. he is in cursed shore dont know if it has something to do with the error.

Hello everyone and thanks for reading/repliying. Well the thing is that with the release of ascended rings/earrings i am starting to doubt on what ascended accesories i should aim for…. 12 guild comendations arent easy to come by so i dont wanna waste them once i get em… right now im wearing full zerker armor with ruby orbs , i was using zerker weapons but i made Incinerator and now have soldier stats on one weapon , amulet and rings and back are zerker as well. I run a 25/30/0/0/15 both for wvw and dungeons , im sitting at 50% crit chance 106% crit damage , 2200 power , 3200 atack , 13.200hp , 2k armor.
I dont have much trouble at dungeons running lvl 38 fractals atm.
So should i aim for defensive stats on the accesories or should i go zerker and replace some of my armor pieces for valkyrie/soldier stats??

thief is just fine… i have 4 lvls 80 and i dont enjoy any of them as much as i enjoy my thief. Good dps ,good survability , Shadow refugee is just great as is smoke screen. Shortbow is great for reaching a downed player fast and blinding powder is a great aoe blind. im running a full zerker thief and i dont have any surbability issues even in lvl 30+ fractals

just got to lvl 34 fractal with my full zerker thief… not really imposible if you know what ur doing

I just reached 80 on my warr….i wanted to know what runes are the best for her im running full zerker gear. money aint an issue. thx!!

yeah but the point is removing the runes sigils without losing em. i wouldnt mind paying in the gem store in order to save my 6 runes of divinity lol im not gonna break mi t3 cultural. so what i suggest is an item that would allow you to remove runes/sigils from a piece of armor/weapon

what do you guys think about an item that lets you remove runes and sigils without breaking your equipment? maybe buy it from the gem store or something

+ 1 but that wont do much good for us though….

thanks for all of ur feedback i really apreciate it! i bought toughness precision and condition dmg armor and weapons…. the thing now is the jewelry…. should i go carrion or rampager?

Well i just reached lvl 80 , been using rampagers gear so far and with the blood traits it was pretty effective due to the per hit heals… but i wanted to try a condition build.
So heres the question , should i go rabid , carrion or rampager? maybe a mix of two of em? i was thinking rabid armor and weapons with carrion jewelry to boost up some raw pow and vit. wepons would be x2 daggers and staff or scepter , dagger and staff…. any help is welcome! thx in advance!!

jajajajaja someone got his kitten handed over in pvp jajaajajaja. initiative cost for vital shot? ajajajajaj aight what about necros scepter , mesmer staff , warriors sword/rifle , engineer pistol ? should they have a 5 or 6 seconds cooldowns? ajajajajaj

Ruufio.1496:

As a Necro I enjoy killing this noobiest of builds in the entire game by standing in their caltrops they drop and throwing 20 bleeds back on them.

wow they must really be noobs…..

Dude Kaiser u posted somewhere else how u where dominating pve and having the highest dps of ur group…. whats the point of this thread then?

spif.7580:

Power/Toughness/Vitality Armor – Runes to taste (I like Divinity)
Knights Jewelry with Rubies

This puts you at about 30% crit and 30% crit damage, not great, but not bad either.

Acrobatics with Might on Dodge + Bowl of Orrian Truffle (Might on Dodge).

Get a second offhand weapon with Sigil of Bloodlust – when you max out your stacks (go after neutral camps), swap out with +5% damage Sigil.

You should be able to maintain 5-8 stacks of Might during fighting, often more if you are judicious with your evasion.

All told, you can get upwards of 3700 power with this setup. You will have over 1600 toughness and vitality as well as the naturally tanky Sword/Pistol setup.

mmm and what about weapons? stats wise i mean

im using d/d and s/d but i usualy carry al set of weapons with me… i havent tried this build in wvw yet just dungeons… and yeah i try not to get hit but when i do they chunk more than half my hp…. making armor kinda useless i think im just gonna go full GC balancing the thief so far is useless ¬¬

well i was playing a condition build so far but i decided to try a more direct damage thingy with a bit of defense…. My equipment right now is the following.
Knight´s chespiece , leggins , amulet , rings and 1 weapon.
2 valkyries earrings
Berserkers Shoulders , helmets , boots and 1 weapon. Runes of divinity in all items
Traits are 0/30/20/20/0
my stats ended up like this:
Power 1792 , Precision 1906 , Toughness 1700 , Vitality 1286
Atack 2596 , Cirt chance 50% , Crit Dmg % 60 , Armor 2700 , Health 14000
My defense is still crap and i feel i lost a lot of dmg in exchange for nothin! any advise in how to turn that worthless set up in something that might actually work?

i tried using the berzerkers armor and weapons with valkyrie jewelry but my surbabilty sucks and my crit strike % is not that good either. i was wondering is the ravaging set viable for a thief? , cuz i really want to try it out , if so would it be better to combine it with knight parts for extra toughness or valk parts for extra vit?
i use d/d and shortbow and i think that rampager would come in handy for the crit% + cond dmg… but i dont wanna loose my survabilty… any help here?

here´s my thief aming for a headshot(?)

and the day will come when people realize they can actually dodge those attacks that one-shot em…

i manage to end that part of the dungeon fairly easy. right now im playing a condition build so what we do is get the mobs together. we put a lot of aoe focusing on ranged magic casters. i use caltrops signet of shadows to blind foes and if something goes wrong use shadow refugee on mag, this will give the party enough time to come back to the fight

i have a ibg doubt. im about to craft my lvl 80 exotic armor set. what would be best crit dmg +power+precision , vit+power+condition damage or power+precision+condition damage? im doin mostly dungeons and i use shortbow+ d/d though i found myself lovin s/d. what do u guys think???
oh and i would put traits according to my set to maximize effects

well i just become 80 a few days ago and i wanted some advice on stats and build. should i stack power+precision+crit dmg on equips and put traits on 30 deadly 30 crit and 10 trickery? or stack precision+ cond damage and put points on 30 trickery 30 crit strikes and 10 acrobatics?? i found myself loving d/d and shortbow! what do u guys think would be best for dps in dungeons??

i just wanted some insight as to where to farm blood , scales and other lvl 225crafting materials as of now im in the blood tide coast and im having a hard time finding them
