Guild Wars 2

I saw this topic gaining momentum on GuildWars2Guru forums, and seeing as i can’t see a similar discussion taking place here, i thought what’s the harm but to create one regarding such.

I haven’t farmed yet so i can’t weigh in. I’ve been busy completing the high levels maps for each of my five characters hoping i’d get lucky, however truthfully i think i have only netted about a gold and a half per map, and only once gotten two items worth two or so gold each. I also didn’t think averaging a gold an hour was possible, but it would seem as if people are, and then some…

How comes these specific armors can only be gained by running dungeons, or farming events in Orr for karma. Will we ever be able to craft them?

I’m generally am looking for ideas from other players. I haven’t long been eighty, managed to complete the Orr maps just fine with armor drops, so now i am going to be tagging mobs endlessly or getting into dungeon groups, but i can’t seem to pick how i should mash up my stats.

It would be nice to see this happen, more so for weapons and armor, or at the very least if i equip the item it becomes soul bound.

I highly doubt dyes are going to become account-wide, it would be extremely nice, but there’s ‘implications’. However, items being account bound rather than soul bound, i would love to see this happen, too. I thought that when i equipped an item, that’s when it became soul bound. So recently i decided i wanted the heavy auroa armor, and having five alts at eighty with each having enough to buy one piece each, i decided to go ahead, and yeah, found out i was wrong.

Ollo

I have five alts at eighty now. Slowly trying to complete the maps in Orr, and even though i am on a really popular server, Desolation, which i transferred to purely because of this, originally i was on Ruins of Sarina which was empty, i feel as if people aren’t doing enough (temples), possible more focused on World v World. I would prefer an EU sever as i am GMT time. Don’t care about pvp, as i don’t go there. Any suggestions?

Currently on Ruins of Sarnia people don’t seem to be trying to take over any of the temples. I’m trying to complete the maps, so i am looking for a server to switch to where the temples aren’t contested much, where people are trying to gain control of them.

I have an elementalist, thief, and now a warrior at eighty. I haven’t spent loads of time doing events, but when i have i feel as i’m doing something wrong, as if i suck.

With the elemtanlist i tried a scepter & dagger combo first, yet i ended up pulling mobs and going down quickly. I switched over to a staff where i felt safer casting fire ball and lava font, however, for me, i don’t always pull off meteor shower. I was traited 30 Fire, 30 Air, and 10 Arcane; i used arcane wave whenever it was up which really helped. At the moment i am traited in 20 Fire, 20 Air, 30 Water as i was trying lighting hammer at while roaming around, haven’t tried using it in dynamic events yet.

As a thief i re-traited to 25-30-0-0-15, previously i was more into trickery as i was spamming death blossom while leveling, however, i made the switch as after hearing there’s a bleed cap, as clusterbomb was our tagging skill, and to use pistol-whip/pistol-pistol in dungeons. While using clusterbomb i weren’t sure about detonating. I tried, weren’t always successful, and it felt slow. Am i suppose to just detonate carelessly?

I just got my warrior to eighty, i will try a dual-axe build today, but when i used a greatsword and casted hundred blades, i ended up going down quite a few times afterwards.

It doesn’t help when there’s loads of people. It doesn’t help when there’s hardly anybody. Yeah, i tried two different servers.

I was thinking about making either a ranger or engineer as i dislike my Charr thief. I heard both are pretty good at tagging after i decided. I also hear guardians are really good while using a staff, but i’m not really digging them.

Couldn’t seem to find a topic on this already, so here is the interview.
http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/473/feature/6796/Colin-Johanson-on-the-Live-Teams-the-Future.html

I was really hoping for a question and answer feature from a gaming news company with someone from ArenaNet. It’s nice to hear further on the matter of live teams and what’s in store for the future :]

Coming up to eighty and plan to purchase rare or exotic gear for myself, but not quite sure what i should buy, or how i might mix.

It has been asked quite a few times in the suggestion sub-forum. There seems to be a handful of people that oppose the idea, but just as many wanting.

Unfortunately,

Hi everyone.
Thanks for asking. To change the race in the Gem store will not be an option in Guild Wars 2.
Now we will proceed to lock this thread.”

I had no idea, someone else showed me the topic dated the 28th of September. I think we should get a petition going…

I have an eighty Charr thief that i dislike. I know, i should have realized sooner, yet i kept telling myself, ‘i have put a bit of time into this character so i’ll continue on’. Saying to me it’s not that much time, well some of us don’t play the game constantly.

So i don’t have loads of people to talk to in-game, i’m not even in a guild yet. The odd few people i have talked to, well one guy mentioned he was doing fine in dungeons with rares, while another guy said he was told exotics were a must, and two other guys had bought themselves rare 80 armors upon reaching level eighty.
When i look at the trading post, i see that 80 exotics are selling for two or so gold, while 78 exotics don’t seem to have much stats difference, are going for easily 1/3 the price.
I’m currently leveling up a warrior to eighty, already have two others there already. I could purchase a full 80 exotic set, but i can’t help but feel as if 78 exotic sets are just as good, and i would ultimately be able to gear my alts up, buy alternative gears (magic find), and still have money left.

Ollo

I’m a PvE player. Never been into any of the dungeons yet, but looking to find a guild that runs them regularly. I’m not confident with either my elementalist (80) or thief (80) at going into dungeons, but maybe i’ll also get more advice on the matter. However, i have done some homework, i have read two thief guides, one being really comprehensive. -http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/68074-level-80-thief-an-opinion-on-weapons-armor-runes-and-sigils As for my elementalist, just recently found a lighting hammer build and have to say i am starting to like the class again.
I’m more than willing to participate in helping out others complete maps, i am just wrapping off Cursed Shore and then i am done for the main zones. And at odd times, i will be wanting to go into WvWvW and SPVP.
I’m currently on the server Runes of Surmia, and i am looking to transfer. I’m in Greenwich Mean Time, and i am on more than i care to admit but not early hours of the morning, ha. And i am eventually going to get my warrior to eighty, too.

So someone mentioned to me try at a lighting hammer build with knight gear, noticed a huge improvement while off by myself.
Some other guy mentioned to me that he runs full berserker’s gear with sword/pistol and pisttol/pistol due being high single-target damage (30 power 20 precision 20 toughness traits).

I have reached eighty on my elementalist and thief, but now i don’t know what gear i should buy. I have skimmed over three Guild Wars 2 forums, and people seem to say differently to each-other. I know it all comes down to play-style, but neither of my classes struggle in PVE while in large or small groups. Of course, dungeons are completely different, as i am told, so i’m left wondering.

I was never confident with my elementalist. I managed to level up, struggling albeit, with a dagger and a scepter while stacking might with fire, and clumsily switching between the others or not at all. Pretty much as soon as i hit eighty i re-rolled…

As a thief i spammed death blossom constantly. I certainly feel more confident and as if i know what i’m doing, however, being told there’s a bleed cap, being within melee range is difficult in dungeons, and using death blossom doesn’t work well inn dungeons as there’s some places where i might fall off.

At the moment my idea is to buy an assortment of masterwork gear and roam around Orr seeing if i can deal damage as well as take damage, and generally see what suits me more, and then plunge into a dungeon. Though i thought i would also ask others, just get some advice.

Just skimmed over a few threads; someone mentioned getting 2,300 toughness, and someone else said Knight gear and Valkyrie accessories.

So maybe for Dynamic Events i shouldn’t go all into Trickery, and grab power, precision, magic find gear. For roaming around i could keep that setup, if it’s right, and in a party. And perhaps if i go off by myself, or into dungeons, i should consider toughness or vitality, and again not all into Trickery.

Thankfully i’ve got Cursed Shore to go. Though i am also curious about Dynamic Events, how i might trait for the short-bow, and also how i might go into dungeons.

While leveling up i always looked to build condition damage up with my gear as i would always be spamming Death Blossom. For my traits i went with; 25-15-0-0-30
I managed to complete Bachelors Leap and Straits of Devastation, but i was in a party. I will most likely find a party again to complete Cursed Shore, but i think i need people to point me in the right direction.
I don’t PVP whatsoever. I haven’t entered a dungeon once, simple as i hear it’s hard, so i am put off.
I read up on the forums that using Cluster Bomb is great for tagging in Dynamic Events. I also read that bleeding is capped at 25 so it severely hurts those that build this way.
I think most classes need to party up when it comes to exploring Bachelors Leap, Straits of Devastation, and Cured Shore, right? Or if i was to get toughness or vitality gear as well, then i can go off on my own and have an easier time? in-which might mean i should buy two gears?

Any advice is much appreciated.

When i hit the Straits of Devastation awhile back, i realized that i needed to re-think my strategy. At the time i met up with a Guardian and he helped me complete the map fully, and then i finished Frostgorge Sound by myself. in-which i turned level 80.
Afterwards i skimmed over the forums and read numerous people saying the elementalist was quite difficult to play and that they were weak compared to other classes, so i decided to play with the other classes. I enjoyed the Thief and found myself focusing on that more so than the others; hit 75 with him yesterday. However, i want to explore Orr with my Elementalist as well so i can reap the rewards.
So at the moment all my gear stats is power>precision>critical. All but my staff is green; my staff being an exotic which i foolishly purchased. While leveling up i was actually using scepter/dagger, and my traits is 30 Fire/20Air/20Arcane. – Should i change my gear only? or should i respec my traits too and come up with a new way to tackle mobs?

I weren’t finished and submitted by mistake

Anyone know a site where i can view armor sets, more specifically the Orr sets?

I’m just curious as to what i should be trying to get equipment wise. I just hit cap with my elementalist, all the way through i was looking for power and precision. I didn’t take a look at forums and builds until now, but i am re-rolling and would just like to know for each-other class.

I have found this site, seems pretty ideal.

http://www.noxxic.com/gw2/

Here are some examples. All focused around damage.

Elementalist – Precision > Condition Damage > Power > Critical Damage > Condition Duration

Thief – Condition Damage >= Precision > Condition Duration > Critical Damage = Power

Warrior – Condition Damage = Precision > Condition Duration > Critical Damage = Power

I would like to see one implemented.
My personal experience, i have tried making friends with people, sometimes you get people that generally aren’t that bothered, and other times you don’t. When i am in a group, i still get those that are quiet, sometimes i am even the one that doesn’t say much. Looking for a guild is tricky, too. I find that big guilds have loads of immature people, while small guilds seem to have a greater atmosphere but they still lack people. And in all, you just never know when the right person is going to be online.

I’m on-board with this suggestion.

I actually made a topic about this prior to the suggestion sub-forum four days ago, and eight other people seemed to be in-support.
Thought i would also add, in-case this does get attention, that i also mentioned about other things being acount-wide.
I get that these things are their source of in-come, however, surely if they were to do something like this, then it would entice more people.

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/Dyes-across-all-characters-perhaps/first#post44180

I didn’t know where else to post this, but this seemed like the right sub-forum.

I have to wonder if this has cropped up before; a quick search, and it doesn’t seem like anyone has mentioned it on these forums.

Only recently have i acquired rare dyes, three to be specific, and overall i have about twenty. I’m almost seventy-nine, and will most likely hit eighty today. There’s, what, 379 dyes? which can be obtained via various ways, however, i can’t believe that once you have a colour on one character, it’s not on another character.

Another thing that crops to mind, buying stuff from the gem store, which again isn’t given to all your characters, or so i believe. Not that i am saying that if you were to buy a gem pack, then all characters should get a gem pack, no, i am on about styles and the extra bag slots, and whatever else that’s reasonable.
