Guild Wars 2

Learning to play ele and I find it very clunky to use the f-keys for attunements. I am simply wondering what bindings you use for them and why! Any suggestions?

(I am playing mainly PvE Staff or D/F and it should be even more important to get another binding for PvP/WvW.)

My highest expection of HoT was with fractals. That is the reason I bought the game. I am very dissapointed.

No new content. Check!
Worse rewards when promised better rewards. Check!

I agree with you guys. I liked the old fractals with random paths + the old rewards a lot better.

So anet said fractal rewards will be GREATER in HoT than before…

Have anyone receieved any ascended or weapon chest in new fractal system? Also, do you think reward level affects it?

Is it not possible to get ascended armor/weapon chest anymore in fractals!?

If I played 1 month earlier I got 0-1 chest/0 keys on average.
Now, If I play 1 month I get 4-5 chest/0 keys on average.

So a bit higher rate at chests, no change on keys.

I am curious how anet will deal with 100 fractal levels and agony infusions.

Will the old ones, which are extremely expensive (like versatile stat-stones), need to be swapped out for infusions with more AR?

Will such infusions have better stats than the earlier ones? If +6power (or more) instead of +5power per infusion -> then minmaxers out there will want those instead.

If such things will happen …

Will anet make infusions removable from equipment as you please? Why not? This would open the opportunity for infusions to be upgraded.

If so, will they make some mystic forge recipe to upgrade old infusion stones? (Something like: combining 2x versatile agony infusions 5AR/5pow, to get a 10AR/10pow infusion stone … or something in those lines)

I am just saying, that since versatile agony infusion stones are so expensive, the issue of more powerful infusions must be handled with respect and care to the players.

Comments? Have anet said something about this?

Just want to give my support for a legal dps-meter of any kind. This is indeed a missing feature in the game.

In this updated version you are more focused on solo play than before, right? What do you think of Scholar Runes in an organized party (dung/eotm)?

My question is really if I should put strength runes instead of my scholar ones! (I don’t think I will make another ascended set to have both.)

Thx hybrid/purple miku!

I appreciate your input. Since I have no interest in soloing I’ll just keep my scholar set!

Purple Miku.7032:

I still wish scholar went back to being the all-purpose god-of-everything rune.

Nike is right though… once you try the best stuff you will be relieved of the burden of how much you’ve spent for it because it’s just that much better. I still remember back in April on that ferocity patch how much I cringed at the idea of replacing my [at the time] only ascended set’s scholar runes with strength. After giving it a test run… I was like… yeah, f—-ing worth it

I have zerker ascended gear with scholar runes. Should I change to strength, is it worth it (I do a bit of everything, mostly PUG dung/fracts & WwW)?

I recognize that scholar might be better in a organized group where there is another phalanx warrior or against multiple enemies (where you stack more might with your crits and don’t need the duration buff as much).

Just curious what you guys think is better overall.

Earlier you healed up faster by going out of combat (while still having adrenaline for a while).

I have noticed this change playing WvW and PvP. Sometimes you just leave combat for a while to heal up and reenter it. It takes a longer time now to do this than before.

In current patch, you won’t start heal up before you are out of combat and adrenaline is gone.

Before this healing started at a few seconds earlier than now. Playing before and after I can really feel the difference.

I am not whining or anything, just letting you guys know and am curious if you also noticed this?

Thanks for this thread! I am also looking to test condition build (already have asc zerk for PvE and PowToVit-tanky healshout gear for WvW).

Looking for some advice too, mainly on sigils/runes!

I currently have gathered full dire armor with krait runes + apotechary/mixed accessories + S/S longbow with dire stats on all weapons. I plan to play WvW, both zerg and roaming in small group.

I got 50gold to mess around with atm!

Q1: Do you think I am too defensive with dire/apo? Can switch up to full rabid or mix before applying runes/sigils …

Q2: What weapon sigils are best really? These, others, combinatons on wpns?
Superior sigil of bursting – 6% cond dmg.
Superior sigil of malice – 10% cond duration.
Superior sigil of corruption – cond dmg stacks.

Q3: What runes? Other option?
Superior rune of perplexity (I take it you have to focus some on interrupt if you take these for maximal effect).
Superior rune of tormenting (it’s only the normal healing-skill that counts, right? not healing shouts. Is this rune for warriors?)
Superior rune of melandru (hey, best alive huh? especially with dire/apo mix I already got).

Thanks!

I am wondering, couldn’t we have a reset-button on WvW skills like we have on our traits?

It follows the same philosophy of us being able to experiment with different styles of play in WvW.

Superb idea. This would be very helpful!
