Guild Wars 2

Dastion.3106:

It’s an amazing change that will make PvE as a Mesmer (or Ranger) way more bearable.

or necromancer >_>

so alongside mesmer I am leveling a necromancer.

i’m wondering what kind of talents should I go for? right now i’m level 21 and using minions which is working surprisingly well (man this is a ton better then the absolute crap they used to be when I was playing the game a year and a half ago). i’m wondering what talents I should go with?

I was thinking of death to help the minions be more awesome but at the same time blood seems good because i’m using dagger and rocking pretty hard with it i’m sorta skimped for skill points so I could use some advice lol.

also how is scepter and axe now I remember it used to be go dagger or go home but it seemed to have gotten some buffs

So whenever I play guild wars my computer randomly crashes black screen then the audio screw up then I have to restart my computer.

my bluescreen error is 0×8000000000000002

I’m using a EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Super Clocked ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card

i7-2600k cpu @ 3.40 ghz

That is a windows Kernel error, usually tied back to Thermal protection faults.

Verify that your GPU and CPU are running with in normal Temps. You can use HWInfo to find this out using the sensors applet. Make sure you verify Idle Temps as well as loaded Temps (GW2, Prime95, AIDA, or something similar)

my temps seemed to be ok my friend said it might be my harddrive going bad and I also heard that this may be a windows 7 error?

I also tried turning up my fan speeds in case I was reading the temps wrong still crashed

Still having the problem if anyone would like to chime in please :<

I named mine wiltweed not the greatest name but not that bad

you guys ever think that maybe they are showing off the ranger elite spec last and at twitchcon while simultaneously talking and hyping the expansion because out of all the elite specs druid is the one that thematically goes with it?

I had this issue with ffxiv and people said it might be a voltage issue can msi afterburner fix this?

while playing GW2 my computer is constantly and it seems at random fully crashing first the video cuts off then the sound screws up my mouse it still on and so is the computer but my computer comes to a dead stop and I have to restart.

my BCCode is 117

12gb of ram

so I was thinking about buying HoT expansion with the gems well I see that the season 2 is on sale and want to use the gems from the collectors edition to buy it while it is would I get the gems in time?

Minions are actually really nice in pvp now. Unfortunately, not all weapons and traits are useful. Scepter is really bad at what it does, and axe is easily the least useful weapon in the game.

Though, for the most part, we’re in a pretty good spot pvp/wvw wise, but still terrible in pve.

To add to this, we are expecting scepter and axe buffs. And reaper is very promising so long as they don’t hit our sustain with the nerf cannon. We still lack team utility though, other than wells and blood magic.

oh they are buffing necro’s again because I noticed on metabattle no builds with scepter or axe lol

are these buffs coming with the expansion?

seriously because my class choice is down to this or guardian.

So I mained a necro in guild wars 1 and I remember playing one in this game and being like man they really suck expecially minons, buuuuut I heard this is different.

how are we now? are minions useful now that they increased the a.I in say pvp (I noticed that the new specialization class get’s a ability called Rise! and it looks kind amazing)

do we have a decent amount of build choice and does each weapon bring something useful to the table?

how are we in pvp/wvw now?

you know I always wondered how one could make a mesmer cool, but then I saw jo jo’s bizarre adventure and everything just clicked for this class and how fabulously awesome it is!

Yeah I would just invite you to watch this hilarious esl cup:

You really think that this cele ele bs is solved by suggestions like that ???

wait is everyone but one person a elementalist 0_o

also how are traps I like the idea of trapping

coming back to guildwars and I was thinking of playing ranger how are they?

can they do a mixture of melee/ranged well I want a class that can weave melee and ranged together to form a combined arms approach.

I noticed that rangers are getting a druid specialization I wonder what they will be like I wonder if it might add transformations into animal forms or something like that.

how is the pet did they improve it and make it better?

my other class choice was necromancer how are they in comparison?

so i’m looking for a class that is versatile I like how engineer looks but I also want some melee is the elite specialization for engineer going to add a melee build since I noticed the hammer they might be getting?

but for versatility and a large amount of playstyles/ decent builds which class would you all suggest?

Use a VPN like spotflux

Use a VPN instantly fixed my problem!

what class has the most variety, build options, and playstyles?

If you dare to shuffle around a big ton of skills, toolkits and diverse builds and playstyles on a situational level go play engineer. There are very many totally different ways to play engineer and it comes with a big mix of specialties from across other classes as well.
Also Asura Engi with Golem asura skills totally hillarious RP fun.

I was definitely thinking engineer though I wish they had some melee game, though it looks like they are getting a hammer in the expansion what is that gonna add?

thief’s spec daredevil looks the most exciting for me

lol I almost smell a law suit from marvel

GW2 Necro is still nothing like the GW1 Necro (which was a real necromancer). I’ve found that the Necro in Gw2 is best played without minions, and a whole lot more fun too. I still consider GW2 as not having a Necromancer profession as their version of it is so far from what a necro should be (and is in GW1).

Regarding rangers, I guess it depends on what game mode you want to play it in. I have like 9 rangers or so that I use in Open World PvE and I love them for it. Still wish we could choose to ditch the pet, but I mainly try to forget it is even there and try to compensate for its hit to my stats in other ways. Can’t comment on ranger in PvP modes or iPvE (dungeons/fractals). May want to hit the ranger sub-forum for more insight on those areas from ranger players.

so the minions are still bad

I have no problem with other build it’s just minions being workable would be cool.

so with the expansion rolling around and my friend starting to play the game again I was thinking of getting back into the game again.

now all I have to do is pick a class.

so how’s necromancer these days? that’s what I mained in guild wars 1 and man they sucked back when I first played GW2.

also how’s the rest of the classes? do rangers still suck hard?

what class has the most variety, build options, and playstyles?

which class looks the most interesting and fun with what they are getting in the new expansion?

So it’s been a long time since I have played guild wars 2 and I was thinking about possibly trying it again!

I was wondering though if it’s worth and if there’s as many people still playing it now as there used to be?

also anyone have class suggestions I enjoyed WvW alot so a class that can be enjoyable in WvW would be cool

and last what sort of changes have there been?

I saw that they nerfed turrets this blew my mind because back when I played engineer turrets kinda sucked and engineers were sorta ok. Are they much improved now?

how about necromancers I always wanted to play one and that was the class I played in GW 1 but they were pretty horrible and their pets were really really bad from what I remembered are they still like that especially in say WvW?

and finally what about guardians I remember guardians kinda having trouble in WvW because they didn’t really have that great of a ranged attack so i’m wondering if that has been rectified.

also if anyone has any more class suggestions or something they might wanna add ( I would like to know how the other classes are doing I remember archers were kinda awful when I played) Also what class can be good in being melee/ranged?
