Guild Wars 2

Ok, thank you, sorry again.

Kinda impatient i guess, wanting to jump right back in >.<

Astral Projections.7320:

Have you tried doing a repair? If you have corrupted files that might fix the problem.

Every other character of mine can log in and play fine tho

Sorry for posting in the wrong area.

and so tickets are usually 3 days?

should i delete this?

My main, Sammijay, crashes the game whenever i try to log in.

Attempts to load in at labyrinthine cliffs, then swaps to geddaran fields, then back to labyrinthine cliffs, then the game crashes.

i have sent in a support ticket, but i was wondering how long would that take? or if i could get it fixed sooner? (hear stories of tickets taking weeks)

coming back to the game and would like to get straight into it

Sorry to be a bother.

Not sure if anything like this has been suggested before, if it has, apologies.

This is my idea for a boss fight, not sure which dungeon it can be implemented in, maybe a new fractal, or a temp dungeon, or none because it fails, but here goes.

Enter a circular room
Boss is at far side against wall
Boss throws up a shield
Center of room is an anomaly, maybe something like this from RIFT, or a bubble?
The idea is that projectiles fired through it, distort and bend, becoming empowered to hit the boss through his shield (or maybe just damage his shield and have the boss be an entirely different styled fight, 2 stages to say).
At the moment, unsure about melee working on this, maybe it shoots slicing bolts through the ground in the appropriate direction, for now I’m just focusing on range.
So, projectiles become empowered, maybe glow, they bend/bounce/displace at a 45º – 315º angle?
Maybe randomize it each encounter, or have it swap as boss gets lower, adds a bit of thinking on your feet.

So thats the center mechanic explained,

Fight starts,
Boss does monologue “bah I need more time!”
Shield goes up,
Adds spawn, make them weak, but have them launch you, because…
The boss moved around the rooms outskirts,
maybe checking books in a bookcase, or painting ritual symbols on the ground,
I don’t know, what do bosses do to prepare anyway?
His/Her?(I keep picturing a demon) shield has knockback on contact, similar to the knockback from siege shield in WvWvW when Commander Siegerazer(sp?) sets up siege.
Have it cause damage, to punish getting launched into him from adds.
And a final note, make it timed, if the Boss finishes preparing, boom.

What do you guys think?
It could use a lot of tweaking, but i think the mechanic could be interesting.

how does the 10/30/0/0/30 work? traps with zerker gear?
what about SOTH for pets move speed so damage doesnt slack on moving targets?
Also how would 30/10/0/0/30 work? maybe even with a longbow?

Attempting to start WvWvW on my Ranger
Where to start basically

- Will my PvE stuff work?
Zerker gear, pet damage build with some power/prec traited
- Attempt to form a small group or find the zerg?
if there is a zerg, how to find it lol

Umm….yeah

Chopps.5047:

I might suggest 30 in MM for signet of the beastmaster along with signet of stone. Plus, swap to a drake.

30 MM taking 10 points out of….Skirmishing?

Chopps.5047:

Another good choice is red moa for the lpng duration fury. I’m often the only one granting fury.

I do swap to the Moa / Stalker on fights where I know I cannot keep my pet up at all.
I feel like this is a waste of my potential, since they do the same with 0 or 30 BM

Chopps.5047:

Finally, clerics gear with healing power runes (zerk trinkets) is good for a bit more of a healing role. I tend to run that gear if there’s more zerk players in the group than I’m comfortable with.

Clerics for dungeons? I thought that was iffy for rangers due to only being good for our water combo :c
(not doubting you, just, going by what I’ve read around the forums)

Chopps.5047:

I’ve never been kicked for using spirits either; to prove their efficacy I will post a video showing me using spirits in a group in various dungeons, including Arah. I already have clips of Arah, Molten Facility, and I think something else.

I personally have no issues with Spirits, I just find I cant use them right and no room in my utilities for them.

I use SoH for Pet speed because pet DPS fails on moving targets if they have no move speed bonus and I don’t use a longbow currently
Lightning reflexes to keep myself alive on some bosses (probably my least used utility)
and SotW for some regen, mainly for the active on my jaguar paired with its stealth and Rampage as One
I could swap Lightning for Stone I guess.

Thanks for the replys everyone

Currently running 20/20/0/0/30 for Dungeons.
I can keep my pet up in 90% of the fights, some just squish it tho.
Since I only do dungeons and some occasional open world PvE, I was wondering if there is anything i can do to maximize my effectivness.
Dont care for big numbers, but can do 30/30 if thats what is best.
Just want to make sure I’m doing my best for dungeons.
Gear is full zerkers (keep reading full zerkers if u can dodge, but also read zerker ranger is bad, confused)
Weapons are SB/GS, but I like them all, especially longbow, but I dropped it since i lost the range increase.
Pets are Jaguar and Devourer with the poison field.

Is there anything better I can do for pure dungeon runs on a Ranger.

kozeljko.8201:

Try using your Bear for tanking and go zerker yourself, worked for me since launch. 30/30/5/0/5 is quite popular. Also maybe try out the LB instead of the SB. AoE attack and a push back, with some nice dmg.

up till 3 days ago i was useing LB….doesnt offer enough damage in dungeons….rapid fire speed = shortbow normal speed
also i am useing zerker…pets are 1 hit in dungeons (as am i lol) so i generally use devourer occasionally jaguar if i can risk a melee pet

Can anyone direct me to the general setup of a build that lets me be effective in dungeons and possible not drop dead on my kitten whenever something looks at me (this is more fractals and Orr than general dungeons but still)
Ive been running 30/30 Zerker SB/GS and i feel…lacking
Besides the fact that when anything decides im dying im dead dodge or not
I dont feel like i put out alot of damage to actually contribute

Been looking at the BM builds posted on the forums, seem to be aimed towards WvWvW, so yeah….need some help

Want to ask, Knight armor the best for this? only 2 Knight sets from dungeons and 1 of them is Arah….no one does arah

Stopped playing a few months ago due to burning myself out getting map completion.
Old guild kicked me and hopped server :c didnt really suit me anyway.
Need a new guild…some chat spam while running around…place to ask questions….find groups….make friends
Australian Timezone would work best, but US/EU guild would work too depending on member activity.
Thats it i guess.

- Sammijay 80 Ranger
Isle of Janthir
(willing to hop server for a good guild -since idk what servers are even active anymore :c)
