Guild Wars 2

TL ; DR – I got owned by a thief and now Im mad

Deal with it OP, why not play a thief then?

Softspoken.2410:

wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Equipment_acquisition_by_stats

Specifically, exotic rabid equipment can be acquired from three different dungeons: Caudecus’ Manor, Twilight Arbor, and Honor of the Waves.

Edit: I’m partial to the HotW armor, myself.

Thats the problem, I rarely do dungeons – Im purely wvw

Im building a condition-mancer, but the gear is just downright ridiculous for one piece 17g?..

Any alternatives?

Zomomoros trolled you, no biggie

IF precursors werent just based on luck at least players have something to work on and get engaged at (hopefully also get motivated)
cause if precursors had a sure-way to get them (of course it would take dedication and time) Im pretty sure people would hop right on it instead of having to rely on their chances.

I have a 12 button razer but as of the moment, the buttons suddenly stopped working and its just in GW2..

Dota 2 and some other games I play are just fine

I agree with the idea of crafting/making those gifts which really shows your hardwork after you have achieved them

The only thing that I cant wrap my head around is the precursors which is ,based on the wiki, is entirely by chance (extremely low chance)

Theres no hardwork in luck, its just a “hit or miss”

Why cant precursors have their own ingredients and/or quest/s to complete? – This way Anet can add another end-game content.

How’s the damage on this guys now? I heard they’re pretty bad in sPvP/Wvw but after the patch is there any change?

And also Im thinking of rolling a new toon just focused on WvW, Will warrior be an ideal choice?

_Note: Anet dont move this on the warrior section please, I posted this here to trim off abit of the bias answers I might get there

Thanks for the understanding_

This post has been made 6 months ago and the problem still consist, I made a thread about this also and in mine’s case its worse since I use a D/D ele

I bought a corrupted shard and destroyer dagger for it and I regret buying them for this race it since my asura ele just looks like one of those guys you’d stamp on even with this gears, no “oomf” at all

Galsia.4102:

There are bonuses to your Critical Hit Chance that don’t reflect the figure displayed in your Hero tab. If you didn’t account for Keen Observer, Superior Sigil of Accuracy, and Side Strike, add on 17% to what you have.

Also, investing in a Superior Sigil of Perception would boost your Critical Hit Chance by 12% (250/21=11.9, but you probably have some fluff Precision not giving you a full 21 that would push it up to 12%).

EDIT:

with 2 corrupted shards (superior sigil of accuracy)

I don’t know for sure that you are, but if you’re using two sigils of accuracy, I just thought I’d let you know “you only benefit from one”:http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sigil_of_Accuracy.

thanks for that useful info, I’ll buy a sigil of force or a perception for the 2nd one

EDIT: and yes, I do have 30 on critical strike trait

full zerker exotic armors with superior rune of divinity with 2 corrupted shards (superior sigil of accuracy)

Trinkets are zerker back, rings and earrings with Jalis Ironhammer crest (Ascended amulet)

I know its precision but even with food my thief seems to be capped at 40% crit chance even with full zerker gear…

Is there any way to increase it to about 50-60%?

I purchased a quaggan backpack as well as those trans stones with self hair kit and still no mail after 30 mins…

40g give or take

Heres a guy who did 80 in 4hrs through crafting:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/11q3ad/level_80_less_than_4_hours_speed_up_video/

Im currently interested in daggers, is there any list of glowing weapons out there?

This are except the legendaries ofc

Brennus.1435:

roachsrealm.9284:

I wish there were a way to make a soul bound item account bound.

There is, but it won’t work with ascended, like the OP asked.

I do have this two weapons that are soulbinded (Corrupted shard and Destroyer Dagger), any way to make them acct bound?

I wanna transfer them to my alt

Is there any way to un-soulbind any ascended gears and pretty much any soulbounded gears?

I wanna try out my alt and see if it can be considered my main class

Side note: Why did Anet implement such system anyway? I can understand Account Bounded items but Soulbinded are just too far..

Yeah I partially agree with some of your points

I find grinding for gears here meaningless and that gears here are just there to make you look pretty and not like the Hobo at the side mcdonalds

Next time, try sticking with your masterwork gears – less work, less stress
The game isnt gonna reward you for looking pretty anyway

I understand that their weapon/s need to scale up to their size but isnt it a bit too small?

Whenever I looked at other races theres that certain “oomf” when you see their weapons glowing (Norn has the best Ive seen so far) so I cant help but feel like Anet has sold the asura/s short in terms of this

I have two weapons that looks awesome on other races (Corrupted Shard + Destroyer Dagger) but looks like it cant kill a fly when equipped with an asura…

Cant the asura’s get some compensation like the weapon glowing brighter? so it would look a bit more fierce

Darkside.5679:

How are you getting 300% anyway? I’ve got full exo MF gear with the luck sigil, 5 pirate runes, 1 noble rune, the ascended neck with the 20% infusion…and even still couldn’t reach 300% even with food and the booster. Regardless I’ve been using MF often since launch and I’ve noticed after many months now that I don’t really get more rares/exo’s than normal…however I DO get a lot more crafting materials than normal.

Edit: I see now, max with gear can reach 167% and effects can reach 155%…I didn’t realized the MF booster and the Laurel booster stack.

No Food whatsoever, Im using 6 Superior Rune of the Pirate (300%) + all MF gears which amounts to 24% more MF (Full Rare w/ Exo Weap so you can just imagine my frustration since I spent quite a fortune to build it)

In Total, I got 324% MF but I didnt bother putting the other 24% in my OP since I dont think its that significant

OscarKitteh.7198:

MF always seemed silly to me as an armour stat.
Get armour with stats that maximise your build – more damage, more kills = more drops = more chances at good loot. If you still want MF, I find food and guild banner buffs to be more than sufficient and they don’t sacrifice performance for something as vague as luck.

I have a full pledge farming character (I dont plan using it for WvW, PvP etc..), its only for plinx and stuff like that so I thought having a full out MF gear would just suit it as well since I read that MF gears pay out after awhile

But its been awhile and still no result..* sigh *

Ive had at least 300% MF due to my full out MF gears for awhile now but throughout that whole duration I only got 2 rares out of it… (Cursed Shore)

Not sure what Im doing wrong sometimes I question if luck isnt just on my side

How do I maximize the use of this gears?

Fishbait.6723:

I go roaming. Bag/weapon swapping is a waste of time

Yeah I just realized that you cant weapon swap with eles anyway isnt this class squishy to be roaming alone? or did you mean by group?

Thanks for the input btw

I felt really useful when we’re on offensive but when we’re the defensive, I find myself standing on the side since I dont know what to do…

I dont wanna just randomly charge and get nuked by arrow carts and/or AoE spells so for the more experience user out there, what do you usually do in this kidns of situation?

I just bought a black lion salvage kit and I cant quite find it so Im just wondering where it goes after it gets bought

Thanks guys

Anyway yeah I’ll think about Jade Quarry

My guild is very active in WvW which is good and my guildmates are pretty nice as well but the lack of people (even though we have about 300 members) participating in wvw is just the downside

After participating in WvW, I just cant help but notice that our world/server (Dragonbrand) suck…

We’re, literally, getting our bums handed to us by, not limited to, Tarnished Coast and ever since then I have had regretted choosing this as my home world

My friends are playing in Dragonbrand as well so I am a bit hesitant to leave them there

So what can you guys advice me to do in this situation? Is it too late now?

Side question: What are the tiers of the servers/worlds at the moment? Just wanna know our standing and the rest of the others out there (US Servers)

I never had this problem before but now I often get my screen fluctuating in game

I have an Intel Core i5-2300 with an Asus Radeon HD 7750

My settings in game All max except the ff:
Shadow – none
Reflections – none
Shaders – Medium
Best Texture to Vsync – all UNchecked

What should I do?

I understand that the player is still suppose to do most of the work but the AI’s in this game are just ridiciously weak

You not only have to do your main objective but you also gotta babysit for the AIs on your side which doubles the work instead of alleviating a bit of it

I just realized this when I did the “Retribution” story – at the point where I should clear out the courtyard (Its already annoying that I have to do the same story again)

I was literally chased by hundreds of zombies because the AIs on my side cant fend for themselves and I cant just go round and round trying to heal them up..

I already noticed they were lacking firepower but I never knew they were just utterly defenseless as well

I have an an intel core i5-2300 Processor and Radeon HD 7750 for a video card and back then I could easily get a 60-80 FPS (if lucky 100 fps in some places) but for the past few days it dropped drastically to 30 FPS…

I think its patch (builds etc..) related but Im no tech savvy so Im not quite sure at the moment

Any advice?

Whats a good build that would help me level fast? Im struggling with the class at the moment so any advice would be greatly appreciated

I just made an engineer and its level 20+ at the moment and its really quite difficult to level it compared to the other class I 80’ed

Anyway how is it now with patch? Any changes?

Ive filled my character’s slot with leather bags which I, now, realized is a waste when I can purchase 15 slots ones…

Any way to delete this leather bags in order to get a slot for 15 slot bags?

Thanks

What kind of skills do you use for leveling (if possible the fastest way) ?

this is the first time that Ive been, literally, stumped with a class trying to figure out a way to level it fast because of so many skills involved with it..

I just got this nifty kits but I just wanna double check its mechanics before I do anything stupid

Anyway my question is if I try to salvage a Rare Armor/Weapon with it, does it mean that I might get an exotic out of it? (50% chance it said)

Vorch.2985:

Anvil Rock here…appears fine to me

I do wish that people had the option to switch servers once a week for their first month, though.

Theres guesting though which seems useful while the transfer is a bit pricey in my opinion so yes I partially agree with you there

There should be a one time free transfer use

Getting it on with the artisan master

I just got the game 3 weeks (a month max) ago and I was expecting that the game should be flooded by players by now since its released last year but to my surprised I rarely come across a huge amount of players and WvW is just sometimes dead – also I was expecting lags here and there due to the massive amount of players in the area but none of that .

Seeing that GW2 has good reviews and its topping the charts, I dont see any reason why this game isnt flooded by players

For the veteran/experienced players out there, any reason as to why the game feels like its in closed beta (in terms of population)

What does it do? Does it make your chances of getting a better item higher?

So they pulled a “Valve” on us eh

Anyone know the drop rate for this ones? so far all I have seen are “Very Unlikely, Rare etc..” but no specific number or percentage chance

How to identify gear with +Magic Find on it

Now—there are more ways to buff up your +Magic Find stat than just eating foods too. You can also obtain gear which has it on it. You can always tell which gear will have +Magic Find because it will have the prefix “Explorer” or “Travelers” on it.

Runes with +Magic Find on them (Reddit)
The following Runes/Sigils are the only ones in the game that provide a buff to your +Magic Find statistic. Couple them with proper gear as well as a Omnomberry Bar and you will have a significant boost to the point where you will see a noticeable increase to the amount of gold you earn from killing mobs.

Rune of the Noble
Rune of the Traveler
Rune of the Pirate
Rune of Scavenging
Sigil of Luck

source

So what % of Magic find is deemed ideal in farming? 100%?

Advices would be greatly appreciated

I am currently level 20 leatherwork crafter with a 37 ranger and I was wondering whether I could just make my own rare armors then go make my exotics when I hit 80

Is that possible and/or cheaper? or will it be cheaper to buy them through the trading post?

Side note: If it is possible, does anyone mind sharing some sort of guide to crafting them rare and exotic armors

Thanks

More on support but of course I’d like to help my team through dpsing as well for PvE (dungeons etc..)

Any advice on what items are good for a lvl 80 guardian?

Total newb here by the way

Ilithis Mithilander.3265:

I have heard that is it not worth it. Exotics do drop, precursors can drop, but you can also get L78 rares. I heard rares drop much more often than exotics, thus I would look at it as a few ectos.

Yeah, that what I was afraid off

edit: so what do you guys think is a good way to spend those laurels?

I have accumulated 5 laurels so far but Im having second thoughts about the armor sets although it said that they are exotic but, Unfortunately, it seems that you can get a 78-80 level items which led me to believe that its by chance and you can get the short end of the stick… (LvL 78 Equips)

Doing 5 days of dailies is not really what you can call “fun” so I dont wanna waste it..

Anyone bought them before? How worth it are they?

Thanks

Whats the use of this points? I kept getting them whenever I complete something but I dont seem to know how to use them…

Thanks

I just read the update today and it piqued my curiousity about this so-called tournaments

Are they really that fun to watch? How am I suppose to watch them?

Thanks

Where can I find this NPCs for Asura Guardian?

Thanks
