Guild Wars 2

Turamarth.3248:

Not a bug. You need to use the third slot.
There are plans to add further elite specialisations in the future but you will be only be allowed to use one at the same time.
That’s why you can use them only in the last slot. You might notice that this one has a special border which differentiates it from the other slots.

oh crap I’m an idiot, thanks!

I have 2 warriors, 1 with Berserker fully unlocked and the other (condi build) still in the process of unlocking the specialisation line.

I have unlocked some traits and skills in the Berserker trait line for my second warrior but I am not getting the option to select this trait line when I am changing my build. Is this an intended feature (highly unlikely I would think) or a bug?

a guide to warrior in gw2

He’s not a warrior, he’s a RANGER you stinky filthy midg— FOR GONDOOOORRRRRRRRRR!!! FOR THE KING!!

Ahem. Just came back from the cinema yesterday and the hobbit 3 was so bad I actually had to rewatch LotR.
I can almost hear Tolkien rolling in his grave… I don’t know how they managed to botch it so badly, I really don’t. Ew.

And yeah dungeons are boring, I’m bored, I don’t know what to do, blablabla. Aragorn is awesome. He’s the only character I like more than elves.

P.S. RIP in pieces Thranduil, how to completely destroy and twist a character in a movie. /sob

wow your post is 100% accurate on how i feel about that kittening kittenty movie

am i the only one experiencing horribly decreased fps in COF? im running on a potato com but i never used to get single digit fps, not even at mega events like teq and wurm.

invites sent. there is no “EU guild”; once you accept the request, ask an info desk member to change your rank to “EU student”

invites have been sent

[Noob] does not run guild missions, but I sent invites anyway.

is it just me or has the performance of the game drastically dropped in recent LS areas? my com is terrible, but it used to be able to run arah etc (haven’t done it for a while) at playable FPS, whereas glint’s lair and the labyrinth were kitten near unplayable even on best performance.

invites have been sent

sorry, please remove me from info desk. I don’t really play this game anymore and won’t be active at least until november

does this change mean i can have mini griffon on every character?

TA is great, especiallykitten— i have a lot of nostalgia for that dungeon since it was the first one i ever learnt to speedrun

i hate CM/hotw, they have abominable map design and for hotw the horrible hp sponge bosses

crystal desert: 3148 (lol)

Ravion Hawk.4736:

Last time I talked with a staff member in game, they said it was not reportable. It did come off as the in game staff would like it reportable AND ban-able.

I’ve caught wind that some of the “X gold” listings is code for “X usd” which means these players are making REAL money off the sale of dungeon paths.

Eventually ANet will have to set up the dungeons to have henchmen to fill in the party gaps so people can play the dungeons.

Dehuang.2053:

This really needs to get fixed
do not alter the way WoR works, the right and easy fix would be to make the Lupi wall non targetable (with invisible walls in front of it)
it would take roughly 10-15 mins of dev time, but it’s worth it, this exploit ruins the fun of the whole lupi fight

10-15 mins that could be spent sucking living story farmer kitten? no way!

deSade.9437:

oxtred.7658:

That could work, but they’ll probably die in P2 even in nomad, so it may end up like a solo. Wich isn’t really something new.

have you ever tried doing lupi in tanky gear?
I was soldier warr with zerk trinkets and I could facetank the whole aoe/single target drain.

they will probably die to the single-target autoattack and shadowstep + swipe (both of which won’t be dodged) combo

Ettanin.8271:

Avoid joining 5kap+ zerker warguardele only groups. Those are usually very toxic. That said, every class and weapon combo is, if played right, viable for dungeons.

lol

Slowpokeking.8720:

I must say as a fan of the lore, Anet did a good job of showing the menace of Zhaitan’s undead throughout the story. However, the end fight was a big disappointment. Zhaitan was taken down way too easily, just some laser gun and he dropped down, then all we have to do is finish him.

I know it’s a story dungeon so the actual difficulty could not be too high. I think I will remove all the previous mobs, and design a big long fight with different phases(players will have time to rest), solely against Zhaitan. Because we already fought enough of his minions, Mouth of Zhaitan, Dragon Champions, Risen Elites, why waste time to fight them again? Using all the resources against him, magic, ship, troops, let many npc die. So the dungeon would not be too long.

Simple, restore the old difficulty prior to the waypoint patch.

“difficulty”
only interesting part about that dungeon is pretty much mouth of zhaitan and it hasn’t been changed. everything else is boring trash fighting.

Noah.4756:

Also stacking needs to go. Make NPC’s smarter. Mark T-B34RC3 works as intended, great fight, copy/paste to other bosses.

Seriously?

It’s a bit more annoying, meaning not as boring anymore.

lol annoying is good? do you play games to get annoyed?

GW2 doesn’t let me play as an ogre this is a crock of kittene

I think allowing hardressing is fine. The time you lose is punishment enough, and while watching parties wipe is funny (and embarrassing for the guild) it gets boring really quickly.

Rising Dusk.2408:

shrug I’ll agree to disagree then.

When I worked on hosting worldwide competitive tournaments in Pokemon via simulator, I dealt with this sort of behavior far more than I would’ve liked. I found that viewer / player morale and excitement for the tournament was always better in the end if the tournament hosts focused on the positive and only called people out if rules were directly broken, and never with any emotion (just neutral judge-calling). That’s me, though, and I say this in the hopes of this sort of tournament growing into a bigger thing in the future.

Anyway, I won’t press the issue. Carry on!

wait, were these “worldwide competitive tournaments” organised on smogon?

maha.7902:

p1 has easy fights and punishing skips
p2 has easy fights and punishing skips
p3 has punishing fights and punishing skips
p4 has easy fights and easy-ish skips

p1 is probably the safest to pick – it’s not like p2 where theres basically three points between belka and abomination where you can just be insta-killed (spiders, deadeye before tunnel, deadeye after tunnel), p1 has a rough skip to entities but you actually have room for error

i think p3 skips are a lot easier than p1/2 skips on a warrior, since you can just shield block through the chokepoint of risen. doesn’t require much thinking, just a bit of extra condition removal, and that first skip after hunter/crusher is the only remotely challenging skip in p3 anyway.

on the other hand, p2 has 2 really tough skips for new players (although the end skip gets easier if you die a few times and there are fewer technicians). p1 also has 2 pretty tough skips and ooze is kind of a pain in the kitten if it doesn’t go cleanly.

arrow kelvin.2075:

-,- it went so good this morning but now I’m trying it again and it’s such an epic fail -,- for some kind of reason my dagger storm doesn’t want to hit anymore…

Edit:80% of my hits when I use dagger storm hit them invulnerable… why?

that means you are proccing conditions on them. they’re invulnerable to conditions.

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

I just had a pug without any eles try to LOS-stack on Shoggroth.

I guess that’s the other side of the “I won’t stack cause it breaks my immersion” spectrum, the “stack every boss even when there’s no point” guys.

you can LOS the baby tars so they die faster, and it’s further from the hole so there is more room for screwups when you want to immobilise the boss. also extra damage from WWA/

Purple Miku.7032:

guanlong, have you ever had Randall or Illyra teleport to you right when you reach the end of 2nd orbs and kitten up your interact option?

So evil.

rofl, I remember one time dolan was waiting (with the orb) at the end of the run and just screwing around until he had nearly no hp left….

then he talked to ilyra and died

detha doesnt bug out if you run to the side of the great hall and wait before you start the event. idk what causes tzark to bug

but the worst npcs are definitely the arah npcs. not only do they love to kitten up your runs (randall even pulls mobs to the party of his own accord), some of them also love to bug out. all of them are tanky as kitten.

seriously, whoever “designed” the NPC “AI” in this game ought to be …

but not that one guy who repeatedly merge griefed hundreds of arah paths!

Oxidia.8103:

I whish anet has some report option for that.

reporting people has an effect in this game???

Lindbur.2537:

After multiple attempts of failing miserably at trying to melee Liadri with my guardian, I got bored of it, pulled out a scepter and just kited her in circles. Downed twice, rallied by destroying the oh-hey-im-gonna-pull-you-here thingies.
:p

im the wimpiest around, after 10++ failed melee power build attempts i just gave up and condi cheesed her on a warrior lel

1. not ESPORTS
2. requires new content/effort
3. dungeon related

??

kokiman.2364:

Good job running against a wall – dnt style!

ironically dnt don’t stack eles as much as some other dungeon guilds

and you dont even need fgs to speedkill spider queen considering how she dies so fast.

i kittening love NPCs bugging out at the end of paths! yay for ANET! yay for horrible buggy AI! woohooo!!!!!!!!!!!

12k eviscerate is really really low

d/f does more damage than s/x + LH if you have very good rotations, but LH is easier to play and thus more reliable if you mess up… however, if you are dying a lot, LH will be a lot worse since sceptre damage is trash without LH auto.

for harder content, d/f builds will serve you better since they’re more versatile than staff and are less reliant on conjures for damage than s/x, and you get full use of the skills.

offhand dagger is easier to stack might with, because it’s a larger fire field (easier for others to blast and to land DT in). RTL is also nice mobility of course.

but what are their reactions to black male thieves with devil hat and a big afro?

IvanTheGrey.2941:

…male, heterosexual…

answered your own question lol

i heard it phrased once as “if you’re going to be looking at your character’s kitten most of the time it’s better to be looking at a female one”

complaining about difficulty in pugs
: )) ))) )) ))) ))

Purple Miku.7032:

On that note, I’m not sure why but for some reason pug teams always want to stack together right behind this fallen down object after spider queen for the elite + champ gravelings, but it’s a lot nicer to go in between them because they LOS closer to you so that you can kill them instantly with fiery rush… not to mention, if you get cc’d you won’t fly off backwards several paces but will be knocked into the object right behind you instead.

in my experience fallen down object is better if the gravelings are at their nearest spot (if you go into the stack spot you will aggro them immediately and have no time to prepare/get hit by the tunnel)

focus isn’t much worse damage than offhand dagger and provides a lot more utility (might stacking, projectile block, self condi cleanse and invuln)

for arah it’s probably better to run with the class you’re most comfortable on. just solo lupi if your pugs die. that said, reflects are very nice to have against a number of the bosses and eye turrets, but not completely necessary.

Soa Cirri.6012:

shield 4 initial CC
shield 5 flamethrower
HB gate with 25 stacks of might
???
Profit!

using shield 5 on the flamethrower just to get 25 might is a waste of time. it’s faster to just kill the thing outright.

as a guard you can just pull the wolf with block/invuln, makes it faster because you don’t have to wait for slow npc to aggro

i had $$$$$$$p2$$$$ and got full melee berserker party (2 sword rangers as a bonus)

$$$$$mon€¥ is good$$$$$

Tazza does drop… if you kill Kaeyi before her.

She doesn’t drop anything. Ever.

I haven’t checked in the last 6 months, but before it was the case. Has this changed?

have killed kaeyi a few times recently and tazza still doesn’t drop anything

Azrael.4960:

A ranger is underrated in dungeons. Went and did all 3 AC paths last night with 2 rangers, a necro and a mesmer (I went warrior)

AC 1: Tore down the Howling King before the adds even spawned
AC 2: Took out the Ghost eater in the first trap
AC 3: Killed Rumblus before he called down his first ceiling collapse

Basically it’s all about everyone knowing what they’re doing. Party composition isn’t quite as important as some ppl make out

but you can do that with 2 eles alone…? AC is a horrible example since everything dies instantly now

you also didn’t use whirlwind attack in your power GS video, which would make a pretty significant difference.

i thought it was that power builds are still better overall but condi isn’t that much worse especially against high armour mobs and mobs that you aren’t hitting with wwa + are tankier than berserker because of toughness from rabid.

why has it come to the dungeon forums?

Quickfoot Katana.8642:

Hey guys, it seems to me the Merge bug that was kicking several sellers and ending party instances is fixed.

I’ve tested it with a friend now and it doesnt seem to be working so this is good news!

wasn’t this fixed with the feature patch?

what sanderinoa means is that if you don’t do the duelist tactic for abom it takes ages because mesmer direct damage is crap.
