Guild Wars 2

dominik.9721:

everything is viable in pve

Ok ill be more specific, group PVE, Dungeons, Fractals. Thanks for the generic response though, it helped

I havnt actually played beta but have had a quick look at some builds and thier new skills. Just crafted Frostfang so im going to have a bad time dropping that from any build going forward!

So more of a post to see if anyone has tried something similar that includes axes. Forget about the current Meta with PVE. Just something i can solo PVE with and maybe run a few dungeons as a second warrior not running phalanx Str.

How about an Axe build with Beserker (Fatal Frenzy), Arms (Dual Weilding, Signet Mastery) and Strength (Axe Mastery). This would result in 25% increase attack speed in Berserker Stance and with the addition Ferocity from the build, wouldnt auto attacks hit really fast and like a truck in the 6 hit combo? Decapitating whenever possible for some massive burst aoe damage?

I’m a bit confused about Fractals are going to work in HoT. Even after reading the blog posts etc… The way i see it is that we are going to have one fractal for each scale. Like this (FOR EXAMPLE):

1) Swam
2) Cliffside
3) Boss?
4) Dessa
5) ….and so on

Can you confirm if this is correct and how Boss Fractals are integrated? Will a specific Boss Fractal be at a specific scale? Will we be teleported to the observatory every time we progress or will we load into the next map automatically?

Hypothetically, Swamp is Fractal 96. Wont people just run this over and over again rather than Cliffside at 100? The way i see it is people are going to burst through this scaling system quickly (even though it scales to 100) because its technically less instances to 100 than it was doing three (or four) to 50… I’m only at scale 30 something currently and pretty much enjoying it the way it is.

In a nutshell, i used the skins on my Thief and now i think it would look better on my new Engineer. Is there anyway i can transfer the skin? If so, how? Thanks

Apologies if this has been mentioned in another thread… With the new cogs that appear when a clockwork mob dies, do you think this is a good way to stop people running around mindlessly spamming ‘1’ and ‘f’ to mass loot within a zerg?

I tried this only to find I was bloody using a finisher every 5 seconds. Due to this, within an invasion, i tend to put more effort into taking down mobs first and then looting after they are gone. Chipping in with the odd finisher when i can.

All in all i think its an quite effective method to get us playing the game rather than spamming ‘f’. Also my index finger hurts less

I have the same issue. I have a GTX 670 OC and i usually got 50-60fps on Ultra (apart from reflections). Now my frame rate has been trimmed to 20-30fps… I have exactly the same settings as before. Tried recreating local.dat file and messed around with drivers. Nothing has worked so far.

I find it strange how my settings were lowered after patch, as if was almost expected that i would get a lower framerate…

I can confirm my mailbox was not full. Its actually something i take care of on a daily basis to prevent this sort of thing from happening. Hope this helps with troubleshooting…

Logged in after patch tonight I noticed 2 new mail for the event. Before I got the Items in mail my game client crashed. When I logged back in, the mail had gone. I have tried relogging etc…

Any one else get this or know how to fix?

Excuse me if i am wrong but why would people who are are lvl 10 want to do 20 if its harder, lvl 10 rewards and will only go up to lvl 11. Surely those who do are gimping themselves.

I have set and i find that using silver dye is most like the NPC who sells it

Thanks for the quick response

I am new to Thief and thought i would look at some potential builds etc… I see many forum posts/builds referencing ‘Backstab’. From what i can see there is no move called backstab… so what do they actually mean?

Thanks

Lighten up. Its already been reported.

Juts found this out yesterday on my Warrior and was wondering if anyone has anything similar thing of it its just me.

I run 4 parts CM heavy armor and 2 Parts CoF. ONLY the CM parts have runes of Strength on so technically that should mean i have 4/6. However, when i hover over an item with a STR rune it says 7/6 and all 6 tiers are activated. (I have even tested stats to make sure.)

Whats even better is that i still get the 2/6 runes that already come with CoF. So i have 8 rune stats on 6 Items.

In other games i have always tended to play the stealthy class but i wanted a change in GW2. Created a Warrior on day one and i havnt looked back! Love the high stats and range of weapons. Through one dungeon i may use GS, Sword/Sheild, Rifle, Bow or whatever is suited to the occasion.

Also this is sometimes refered to as ‘Red Circles’ on the ground that i cant see!

I noticed when running AC in explore mode last night that i am unable to see trap warnings on the floor before the spikes come out where as a friend that i play with insists that the ground goes red shortly beforehand.
In addition to this, on a few boss fights i have noticed that i am also unable to see any animation on the floor when a boss casts an AOE in which makes surviving any battle very hard. Is anyone else having this problem or have a solution i can try?

I can run the game on Max settings so i doubt its a hardware issue (even though i have heard that the HD6990 i have is a troublemaker…)

Thanks,
