Guild Wars 2

So Gw2 keeps crashing randomly while I play since the new patch. I never had this issue before.

Look for a decent sized guild (50+ active members). I’m just not into registering my email and stuff on websites.

Why do I go full glass cannon? Because even with full vit/tough you still die in 3-4 hits unless your healing up the kitten dodge, and constantly paying attention. Now if you apply my theory of healing up the kitten dodging, and constantly paying attention to the boss you will realize you don’t need any vit/tough because Anet battle system allows you to dodge anything attack except that cheap agony hit from the squid guy.

Anyone else having issues with signet of the hunt not working at 25% all the time? My signet still says 10% on the buff while the signet itself says 25%. Sometimes I feel super fast and sometimes I feel like like its working at just 10%

My wolf crits 5k and with the elite buff + the sigil that gives you more size etc you can do about 12k easily with the number 2 skill of longbow. I can’t remember the names but i CAN take a picture if you want. :P

Also, the 12k crit is while flanking and buffed.

12k in 5 SECONDS to a glass cannon with 100% crits, but that glass cannon can hit 12k with 1-2 skills in 1 second……

I’m a glass cannon Ranger and I do about 12-15k on fotm bosses with just my pet buff and it being on passive, no flanking.

Last night I did over 14-18k on the asura golem bosses, Norm ice boss, and Swamp boss. On the Drudge boss where you use lava my best hit was 152k.

Honestly in WvW you stick to a zerg. Go longbow and speck into marksman so you have have range of 1500 and support the zerg from far back.

For SPVP I go glass cannon and I don’t have much of a problem. Longbow/short bow. rune for damage. Stay far away. I have 7 slows/stops for melees. Seeing how I never need 7 slows I swap one out for the dodge skill that regens my endurance. When fighting range you really just need to utilize your dodge.

Here is my theory of 1vs1. The person who wins is the person who understand the class they are fighting. I dont worry as much about their build. I pay attention to the weapons they use and the utility skills they use. You need to know all that stuff if you want to do well. You cant expect to just play ranger 24/7 and be awesome. No chance.

If you have 2 players evenly matched and they know their enemy’s skills like they know themselves then victory usually comes down to who uses their dodge roll at the best time. Plain and simple. There is not really the best build for pvp. Just knowledge of the class they fight and dodging at the right time.

this has been said many times already I’m sure but finding people to group up at different level FOTM really sucks and its at times worse than finding tanks. Its so bad I cant even progress. I’m stuck doing fotm lvl 10. This is not fun. Did Anet not say they didnt want to be waiting 30 mins to look for a group? Yet here we are. This is kitten

I dont like the design/look of the pets. Every animal looks like a regular animal. This is a fantasy world. Make the look more awesome. Let us change their look. Make them bigger in scale compared to their real life counter part. All I do with my pet is put it on passive and use their F2 ability for a buff, and switch them out for a quickness buff for 2 seconds ever 20 seconds.

wow I didnt even know this was an issue. I figured it was just my computer but I noticed my shortbow attacks are a lot slower with QZ compared to a while back.

I personally never ran a signet build. The buffs from signets are just better on other classes. I use a signet in my line up depending on the situation, but I never run all 3 signet.

I used to go a lot of toughness then I realized with good eyes and position you barely take any damage so there is no need for toughness. Using your dodge roll will allow any class to dodge any attack in my experience, so you just need to look out for that one big attack not that its going to one shot you. I never had a problem doing any content so far and i’m usually the last to die except when i’m trying to rez others. Having range on the longbow of 1500 helps too. I prefer damage over Condition because I like instant damage over needing to wait 3-8 seconds for all my condition damage to do full damage. I run longbow and I choose my 2nd weapon/weapons based on what dungeon/world event I’m doing. My rule with weapon is you need very single one your toon can wield.

I’m a ranger and I think Spirits are kind of dumb considering Warriors can do the same thing with banners only banners have no health and cannot get damage in addition to anyone being able to pick them up and move them. For Ranger spirits you have to invest in the trait and then you still have to deal with keeping it alive.

I recently been playing a lot of the other classes and I notice the Ranger has the worst down skills. Most class has great abilities to help them avoid stuff to survive. Rangers just sit there and have to wait like 5 or 6 seconds to rez their pet to heal them so you are literally doing nothing. The number 4 skill heal just doesn’t cut it especially if you get hit. The stun skill is useless compared to some of these other classes (completely useless in dungeon boss fights). The Pet rez is the worst one. If the pet is still alive he has to run all the way to you. In my experience my pet rez me 70% of the time. So on the other 30% that my pet does not rez me I just lost the Key down skill. I literally just watched myself die without being able to do nothing and I love pets but at that time I wish they just trash pets as part of the down skill mechanic.

So with the night capping issue, and international player issue (i’m assuming these are the issue based on a few pages of the form) no one seems to be queing for wvw unless they are the dominate server. I transferred to 4 different servers and its the same on every server. One dominate server with a huge lead plus 3 orbs. That means the other 2 servers just are not playing. If that is not an Issue Anet then I dont know what is. I dont care if its night capping or international players but the problem needs to be recognize. This is not FUN. You could just fix the problem by killing all the rewards for wvw then I couldn’t care less what happens.

I know Anet has already said they are not doing much about night capping, but when a server night caps and gets 50k lead with 3 orbs the other 2 sever just dont even try anymore because they gotta go to sleep. Now when they want to play wvw on the weekday after work no one is playing it because what is the point? You cant capture anything and if you do capture one you will lose it when you go to bed on top of needing to fight a server with 3 orbs. NOT FUN ANET. I’m sure many people have already complained about this in the 20 something pages.

I’d be ok with DR if Anet gives us a buff telling us the percent of the DR we have. That way I know what to complain to Anet about what in the DR programming is not working. I remember joining the Zerg, after a few weeks of never going there, in Orr and popped my karma boast and before we even completed all the events I already hit DR somewhere between the 3rd boss and the last boss. With the boast I was only getting about 170ish karma. I’m not sure what to complain about why I was getting DR. Was it just because I’m simply playing Anet’s game? Or was it because 10 mins is considering farming and DR needs to affect me (keep in mind you never do the same event 2x in a row in Orr)? Maybe because the people around me has been farming it and because I’m around them DR also affects me?

Is it possible to give Karma points to your other toons? If there is not we should get that function because it should be transferable to our other toons. Its Karma points currency we earned and it should not matter that we earned it on another toon. As long as we can’t give it to other players there should be no problem with account binding karma point or just letting all our toons have access to our total karma points.

Please make the explore dungeon currency account bind. Lower level ALT’s cant wear the armor until they hit that level so it wouldn’t be an issue anyways. I really don’t want to farm all those dungeons on every single character and I can’t find a fault in account binding the currency.

It would be really boring to grind the same dungeons for all your characters when you can be saving them up now casually as you you are playing.

I thought Anet wanted to get away from that. I definitely want some of those weapon skins for my ALT characters. With the down scale level system does it really hurt to account bind the currency? Or does Anet really just want us to grind with different characters?
