Guild Wars 2

Tested this out quite a bit.

Like Mobile Kirche it happens at random for me, but I’m much more often popped right out of Celestial Form than it sticking. I’ve tried going into it using my main weapons and then tried using the staff and going into it with no success.

Thought maybe I was hitting attack keys too fast and that it was switching me over out of CF so that I could use the weapon attack rather than the CF skill but debunked that by standing absolutely still and not hitting anything only to be shifted out of CF as soon as I entered it and half second after the abilities changed from weapon to CF’s.

I’d rather be actually good at my class than technically ‘only need to learn to dodge’ though.

Thank you for the advice to TurtleDragon and Swimsasa. I think with your answers I’ve got a good idea on how I’m going to do this. Your patience and explanations were much appreciated.

I don’t think I’ll be running too many instances/dungeons (fractals?) as it’s a very small group of friends unless we can find groups that are willing to take pity and join in. In which case I want to be at least useful in my roll. I’ve been reading as many guides as I can to help me get an idea for what would be wanted from me but I won’t sell my fun just so I can grind for gear.

I will look into those links now, though, thank you for a way to spring board towards which direction I’d like to go.

Though just in your opinions, would putting Toughness on gear for a ranger be a waste?

Hello, I am entirely new to Guild Wars 2. Just picked it up a week ago because I spent many hours playing the first game and… well. All my friends are playing GW2 so why not join them. I have been doing as much research as I can in regards to builds, pets, etc, but it only has so much I can use since a lot of it is very broad.

So I’m asking for some assistance on tweaking my own specific build. Here’s all the information I can offer and the direction I am intuitively going towards, may my better Seniors guide me in the right path.

For weapons I prefer the Longbow, using Sword and Warhorn as the alternate set (Warhorn because of the boons it can give me, though I do wonder if Torch would be a good way to go as well?) I’m going with a safe, if a bit scattered PvE build of either 30/25/5/10/0 or 30/20/5/10/5. I also usually only run around with my friend who’s rolled a Guardian (afraid I don’t know how he’s building it, though) if that information helps as well. I’m hoping I’ll be able to do a lot of DPS while still being able to survive which brings me to my big question…

Do I get/spec armor and weapons for Power, Precision, or Toughness?

It’d be greatly appreciated if people would give an explanation as to why they might be suggesting something to help me understand better.

Thank you.
