Guild Wars 2

Hi, I would like an invite to the guild. My IGN is Gorilla Kong and I play on a NA server. I would like to learn how to run Arah and the Aetherblade path. Thank you!

This might help:

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/60838-math-damage-reduction-toughness-and-vitality/

But it might be very outdated.

I’m trying to learn how to theorycraft builds, but most articles are not very accessible. The best that I’ve found is: http://gw2buildcraft.com/articles/theorycraft/theorycraft-101/

Can anyone link some sites I can visit to learn to theorycraft in gw2 or post information in their comments? Thanks!

I haven’t touched GW2 in about 9 months now, but the feature patch made me want to jump back in. However, there’s been a lot of changes since then with the necro and I need some help getting back into the game.

I used to run a variant of Sheobix’s Juggermancer build, the optimal trade-off between tankiness and power. (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/necromancer/Juggermancer-Final-Blog-Link/first).
I ran a 20/0/25/25/0 build. VI and X in Spite, I and V in Death Magic, I and VIII in Blood Magic. All my equipment was Soldier’s prefixed with Crest of the Soldier slotted to all armor/weapons.
Weapon sets were dagger/warhorn and either staff (WvW) or axe/focus (Dungeons). Skill-wise it was 3 wells + plague form.

Can people help me rework this build if its still viable in the meta? Going back in, I will just be playing WvW and PvP, although I hear that for PvP it would be better to run a MM or Power Well build?

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Heya,

I’ve been following most of Sheobix’s Juggermancer guide for the gear, but i’m looking to vary it up a bit. But i need some advice on its viability.

So, i’m aiming for 3k atk, 3k armor, and 30k health.

my stats atm: (with traits, 20/0/25/25/0) – 3321 atk, 2849 armor, 28122 health.
this is with soldier’s armor + weapons. all equipped with crests of the soldier. Also, two invader’s accessories (with soldier’s crest as well), Soldier’s ascended amulet + 1 ring, 1 emerald platinum ring + mad king back.

Should I switch from crests to runes? If so, i was thinking to get 5 superior runes of the warrior + 1 more for vit and pow.

Should i switch from crests on weps to sigils? If so, what is the best for a powermancer build? I was thinking sigil of force/bloodlust, restoration or hydromancy.

Also i’m a bit worried about heal pow. Would it be useful to get some cleric’s gear instead of soldier’s? (e.g 1 accessory, 1 ring)

This post seems a bit long and complicated, but any advice would be much appreciated.

THANKS.

Thanks!

This was asked in the Charr forums a while ago,

He looks really cool! Nice job on him

Hazal Birunae.6082:

What chest piece is that :o?

Avalanzhe.5761:

I like the gloves a lot, and also the shoulders as well, what armor are those? Charrs really look best with big shoulder armors, makes them look more kitten!

Here’s mine:

Sorry, haven’t been on the official forums in a while. Thanks for the comments guys!
It’s been great seeing so many more pics of other charr necros!

My armor is: Necro Skull Mask, Shadow shoulders and gloves (craftable, but I got mine from karma vendors… in fields of ruin I think, but it might have been gendarran), Sorrow’s Embrace chest and boots, Vigil legs.

Heya,

I need some clarification on the limits of acquiring dungeon tokens.

1. If I do a run, say AC path 1, then do AC path 2, can I repeat path 1 and get 60 tokens?

2. If I do a run, say AC path 1, then log out, is there a certain time period I can wait before I log back in (with the same character) and repeat the same path for 60 tokens again?

3. If I do a run, then switch characters and repeat the same path, can I get 60 tokens? If so, then is it 60 tokens, per character, per path, per day?

4. What are the stages of the diminishing returns? So first run = 60, second run = 20, third run = ?

That’s all the questions I can think of at the moment. If anyone has any other questions feel free to add them below. Hopefully they will get answered quickly.

Thanks.

Heya, I have recently started a warrior and wanted to test out different builds so that I can ‘try out’ the warrior and work my way towards something I’ll be happy levelling with.

Can you guys suggest the builds (weapons, traits, utilities, armor/accessories…) you are using for PvE or Dungeons?

I’m trying out a more burst/dps build at the moment, but feel free to suggest any build.

Thanks.

sure you can.

What is the name of the staff you have in the second picture? It looks amazing.

My goal was to find the ‘heaviest’ looking armor for my Charr Necro.

Now, I often get mistaken for a warrior…

For some reason, I usually get mistaken for a warrior…

Wow. Thought it was just me.
Jumped into the end present yesterday and got ported back to LA as well.
(But luckily I have already completed the puzzle before)

Oozo.7856:

That’s the sPvP set I’m using which is a bit more offensive than what I use in WvW. In WvW, I mix and match to balance things out a bit between power, precision, vitality, toughness, and crit damage with a bias towards power. I’ll post my stats tomorrow.

Just saw the vid. That is amazing.

Can you post your stats/armor/traits?

I am a mobile fortress.

Can you share your spec/armor/upgrades?

Yup, same here. Would love to know how you got those stats.

Okay, who’s the bunker elementalist from SoS? Norn, looks like the Citadel of Flame set. He participated in the large attack on Stonemist Castle last night while we (SoR) held on for dear life.

This guy is unkillable. All he does is run around in the front lines absorbing huge amounts of damage, and everyone (including me) falls for it and focuses him. Also he gains boons constantly. At one point he gained like 6 including stability, I corrupted them all into conditions, then 3 seconds later he has 4 more. We managed to kill him once in like an hour, crazy stuff.

Whoever you are, my hat is off to you, sir. Keep on keepin’ on.

Does SoR still have the castle? I went to bed before the siege ended.

If it is the same norn ele that I am thinking of, then he is a beast. My guild-mates and I have encountered him on the battlefield a few times. Always good, tough fights.

As mentioned previously by several of my guildmates, that crazy near un-killable bunker Elementalist would be me. Fortunately for you folk, you don’t have to see me tonight because this fantastic game bugged on me late last night and kept locking up the client for 5 minutes at a time every skill cast; so now I’m in the midst of a fresh reinstall + CCleaner + Defraggler rundown to cover every basis.

Think of it this way, you folks on IoJ and SoR don’t have to see me again next week if you stop re-capping our stuff while our NA’s sleep =) If you keep forcing us to take back SM and the other maps, Blackgate might pick it up late week and you’ll be stuck with us yet again.

Would you mind sending me your build please? :0

Same here. Would love to know your build Papaj. It sounds amazing. :O

I sold all my candy corn. Was only collecting it for the achievements.

Should we keep the candy corn matter meter?

Does anyone know of any ‘fire’ daggers? (Besides the legendary)

6/10. I like the premise, but I can’t really see myself running around with a charr named Bognish..

(9/10 If you were named Cuddly though… Haha :P)

My Charr’s name is Gorilla Kong.

Finale at 3 am Monday morning for me….

I bet there’s a ton of people from the oceanic/asian area that will be sitting this one out as well.

So i’ve heard the Lost Shores is about an island rising out of the water?

If so, this needs to be made:

A jump puzzle in the style of the clocktower! One where you explore the ruin and when you enter a room, you find yourself trapped! Then below you, the water starts rising up and it starts a race to the top!

Those that fail will be shot out of the ‘well’ with the huge wave of water towards a distant location, unable to reach the chest at the top of the ‘well’ or ‘ruins’.

Please Anet. Make this happen.

Wow. does it really take about 1g to craft from 1-350ish?

Cos i’m assuming you need to make around 25 of the item at each stage, and checking the price of the mats of gw2spidy it seems to come out to about 3g?

Can anyone tell me how they craft so cheaply? (well, besides gathering I guess)

It’s fun. Frustrating. But fun.

I haven’t completed it yet though. I got to the top once and then…

I missed the jump into the clock face.

This post has been edited to remove a violation of the forum code of conduct.

Wouldn’t you need the recipe for the sigil to craft it?

That would be another 250 Candy corns, 25 nougats, 25 skulls and 25 plastic fangs that you then throw into the mystic forge. Haven’t tried it, but i’ve heard this might give you the major rune instead, or the superior rune of the mad king.

Sorry if I haven’t been keeping up to date with this, but I heard there will be a one time event on the 28th.

Can someone tell me what time would it be? (and time zone)

Thanks.

Recently I started an ele, and even though it can deal decent damage, it feels kinda… fleshy. (weak)

Does anyone know any builds that allows you to deal large damage whilst still having enough health/toughness to be viable?

Same here, i’ve been looking for a glass cannon build for PvE. I would like to find one that deals as much damage as possible. Would appreciate it if anyone had any info. Thanks.

I played during BWE2 but i missed the Kralkatorrik branded event. Can anyone explain what was it like?

Please bring back Hunger Royale (BWE3 event) as a sPvP mode! …but on a smaller map, and on a smaller scale.

I recently found this post on reddit:

http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/10cywa/i_found_a_beautiful_secret_in_the_grove/

So, I went to check it out… and it is AMAZING. Makes you wonder how many secret/hidden areas the developers hid within the game.

Does anyone know of any other areas like this?

(I went to find the secret strawberry patch in Diessa Plateau after reading the comments on the reddit thread as well)

I usually play ‘elf-like’ races, so picking sylvari was an easy choice. Character creation during the beta weekends sold me on them though. The design with leaves for hair and that they can be any skin colour is pretty amazing. They also GLOW.

Also, recently I found this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/10cywa/i_found_a_beautiful_secret_in_the_grove/

Thanks for the suggestions guys.

Played around with traps, but they’re not really my style. I think i prefer the longbow, which i feel the auto attack has become faster? Correct me if i’m wrong.

I’ll probably go with qwints build of 20/5/20/0/15, which then gives me another 10 points to spend. 20 in marksmanship is a must for me due to piercing arrows. Plus, this means i won’t have to respec, just add onto my current build.

Is a signet build viable for PvE? For dungeons ill go with desert rose’s suggestions. But i may try the trap build in sPvP.

I’m a lvl 47 ranger, looking to respec.

I’m looking for a good PvE and dungeon build. I’m using longbow and axe/warhorn atm, but thinking of switching from longbow to shortbow. At the moment my build is 20/0/0/0/15, as i’m running a signet build. I’m looking for a build based on bows and pets but I just picked up the axe/warhorn recently and I really like it.

Any advice?
