Guild Wars 2

Had to do twice for it to count (Pretty sure I got all on the first try), anyway thanks a lot for the guide, really helped a lot!

udiedhowyafeel?

About the shops, the place where you get the Moto Finger counts as one on Tribulation Mode, found the same shop entrances as ya and it did count for the achievement. Good luck finding that last bauble and good job on the guides right now, they’re very comprehensive and easy to follow, I’m sure they’re gonna help a lot of people.

Wish the rewards weren’t daily

Did a quick nightmarish rhapsody inspired by Nike and Bright:

Nightmarish Rhapsody

Is this real hard?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a dungeon
No escape from the final boss

Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I’m just a noob boy
I need no sympathy

Because I easily die, easily cry
All the time, always downed
How the spiders spawn
Doesn’t really matter to me, to me

Forums, just died again
Saw the shake from the head
Didn’t dodge now I’m dead
Forums, fight had just begun
But now I’ve gone and started a thread away

Forums, oh
Why this path makes me cry
If I don’t complain again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on
As if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body’s aching all the time

Goodbye elitists, I’ve got to go
Gotta leave you all behind
And face the truth

Forums, oh
I don’t want to die
I sometimes wish I’d never tried that path at all

I see a big silhouette of a tree
Guardian, guardian
Will you do the reflection?
Meleeing and dodging, very, very frightening to me

(Vevina) Vevina
(Vevina) Vevina
Vevina Leurent
Magnifico!

But I’m just a magic find user nobody loves me
He’s just a magic find user with a magic find mentality
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Fyonna!
No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Fyonna! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Fyonna! We will not let you go
(Let me go!) Will not let you go, let me go, never
Never let you go, let me go

Never let me go, oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Oh dear forums, dear forums
Dear forums, let me go
The tree has a spider put aside for me
For me, for me

So you think you can scare me
And kill me in the blink of an eye?
So you think you can overwhelm me
And leave me to die?

Oh tree, can’t do this to me baby
Just gotta get out
Just gotta get right outta here

Nothing really matters
All the forums can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me

How the spiders spawn

They could add a “Lightbearer” or “Lightbringer” title for the Liadri 8 orbs achievement

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/livingworld/jubilee/Light-Up-the-Darkness-achievement/

There is this post with 2 builds that managed to complete that achievement, one for thief and for guardian. You can probably do on other classes as well, as people probably already did, just need to get the hang of that fight.

+1 on guardian with greatsword and scepter/focus. Gear was all zerker and used endurance food (The 30% one).

6 tries I think with that build Erika posted.

Best of luck to everyone and hope you all manage to get it!

Don’t post for “U/U”, post for “UP” or “U”. You never get another path selection after picking up first, so no reason to add that extra U to the path name.

As said use http://gw2lfg.com and yea, easiest paths on pugs are U and F/F. Most random groups won’t have enough DPS or know which skills to use to kill the tree at F/U after the recent patch.

And about getting groups for it, most of the time I’m always pugging it and it’s quite easy to find people to fill the party. Hope ya get yout set :P

Just for all the people posting times, quickest one I’ve seen is my buddy doing a 5:42 run with 1 mes 2 thief 2 war.

Note that this is timed from gate opening. Strife’s previously linked video is from OPENING the dungeon, which means that your actual time was much, much slower than his group’s.

What? Both videos are from the opening of the first gate.

Fully support adding an inspect option into game.

Tried finishing the consortium rewards club member today and the events aren’t counting up, were they only obtainable from 14 to 28? The NPCs are still there, I can still get the MF or gold boost buff. Has this been mentioned somewhere?

Flissy.4093:

Might be true regarding the ranged as that’s opposite of how aggro actually works, so it would be easily reversed, but I can’t see the AI being strong enough to prioritise one professions weapon set over another.

As for OP, why are you ranging anyway, it’s no secret melee is better.

You likely can’t see the circles because of your horrible draw distance, I can guarentee you there is no safe bit of ground near the champion.

If 4 people melee and only 1 ranged keeps aggro, all the area is safe as long as that guy keeps the aggro. You can even duo without taking damage with one person going afk if you want. It may not work like that for every other part of the game, but for that fight, it is as it is.

And yes, there are a few weapon sets that may count as “ranged” or whatever the programming is that draws aggro, some with higher priority than others but still.

From my mind weapon sets that draws aggro:

Warrior – Rifle / longbow
Guardian – Hammer (low priority) / staff / scepter
Mesmer – Greatsword / phantasms / clones / scepter / staff
Engineer – Grenade kit (low priority) / rifle / pistol
Elementalist – Pretty much every set but with low priority
Necromancer – Staff / scepter
Thief – Shortbow / pistol (low priority)
Ranger – Shortbow / longbow / a few leap skills (1h sword iirc, don’t have a ranger)

Some adds gets the aggro as well, like asura offensive golem, thieves guild because of the pistol add and so on.

I may have forgot one set or another but using any of these while everyone else is doing melee will get the preference in aggro.

On the case of the original poster, aggro was being switched probably because the mesmers kept spawning illusions and phantasms, ele kept only low priority and guardian going melee probably wasn’t drawing it as well. So, everytime the ranger was in line of sight with the vines, he would be called as target.

On that fight wurms priorize ranged users first (along with a few other weapon sets, like guardian hammer, ele dagger and so on). Mainly why people use that 4 melee 1 ranged strategy at pugs.

If you have enough dps and reflections (shield of avenger, wall of reflection, sanctuary, feedback) you can go into melee range and just dps it down instead. Not possible always since most groups lack one or another, but still a viable and faster tactic.

Yet I agree that if you have to do ranged it’s a chore, mostly because someone always end drawing unnecessary aggro from spiders or keep getting downed from the shake attack (even if you can see the attack coming from moving your camera up).

Your average income considering time played is kinda low… and if you’re releasing such a lot of Coils in such a small time frame, you’ll probably just crash the market and make your tokens overall less useful. Check a two days period from april 23 to today, you’ll see coil dropping from a steady 7g to 5.6g (while it’s never been lower than 6g since the recipe got released). Shooting yourself in the foot I guess lol

Hi, the misty effect that howler gives is not appearing sometimes on my character at all, only giving the small footprints like it isn’t being wielded.
To fix that normally I have to swap weapons and in a few cases more than one time. From what I saw that has something with getting some boons or taking damage, as that problem doesn’t happen when I’m out of combat and unbuffed.

Attached a picture with my character wielding howler but without the effect at all. Can try to capture a video if necessary!

Thanks in advance, fkay!

Yea just to confirm that for the vines fight, they go first for ranged users but guardian staff and hammer along with mesmer illusions counts as “ranged” as well for that fight. Best way still to do that fight is one person keeping aggro ranged at a safe spot while everyone else does melee on the vines. No one should get damaged that way.

The nuke her down while invisible doesn’t work anymore, it has been patched at 03 of december or close to that. A common strategy used right now is:

- Take her to 50% so she goes invisible
- Put 4 sparks in the circles, wait her to regen and reappear
- Take her one more time to 50%
- Put the last spark in the circle real quick
- Do all the damage and burst all your DPS and hope to kill her before she goes invisible again.

Use undead slaying potions (+10% damage), foods that increases power and precision. Going with 2 mesmers is great, as the dual Time Warp real helps for this fight.

Another thing that really helps is that you can actually dodge the petrify. After you see one debuff near you (Sorry, don’t remember the name, but it’s something like dead stare), wait it to reach 0 seconds and dodge. Your character will become grayish but you’ll still be able to attack. That makes you able to dish even more DPS without worrying with someone trying to unpetrify.

You can as well try fightning near the statue, just make sure the last spark won’t attack someone else than the puller by being too close to it.

Best of luck and hope you manage to do it!

Stridix.4260:

And yes when attacks connect b4 she disappear the attacks say “invulnerable”. So what does that mean?

You’re not damaging her anymore while she’s invisible, it has been “fixed”. Common strategies that included moving her outside near the rocks so she do not stealth, using poison to lower her damage regen, hitting her while invisible aren’t really working anymore. Right now you gotta do real high DPS or pray that the sparks do not bug.

The real problem of this fight are the sparks, if the could make you have to pick the sparks and put on the cages or fixing their path so they don’t get stuck, moving through the statue and things like that it would make the fight better overall, maybe too easy haha.

We killed her like 2 days ago using the strategy of bringing her down to 50% hp, then putting 4 sparks in, waiting her to reappear, bringing her again to 50%, then putting last spark and going all in with pure dps burst till she died.

Team consisted of 2 warriors (balanced build, not full zerker or anything), 2 mesmers (zerkers I guess) and 1 ele with a dps build as well I think. Overall we used 2 time warps, food to increase power and precision, that undead potion for 10% extra damage, banners, quickness and so on.

Fought her near the statue, she went down on the second try if I recall correctly, first one we brought her to 3% HP lol.
