So uh.. why are you salvaging exotics in the first place if you don’t need the dark matter?
Thats what that noise is. People must have figured out how obnoxious it is, now I hear it everywhere. Please kill it with fire.
It is frustrating how many times I find myself auto attacking from range simply because going into melee is a death sentence against so many bosses, especially the ones with the horribly overused “spin in a circle and kill all the melee players” gimmick.
Axemaster & Blademaster: spin in a circle
Justicar Hablion: spin in a circle
Cairn the Queenslayer: spin in a circle
Jade guys in Bloodstone: spin in a circle
Bloodstone guys in Lake Doric: spin in a circleDodge mechanic is a thing. Letting them spin gives you a chance to heal or renew buffs.
Or stay ranged and not have to worry about it.

An organized Silverwastes farm, tag as many events as you can.
Longbow is total garbage, scepter is decent though. You might like a condi Ranger, they use a shortbow & traps.
I think its more to do with the difficulty of the lane bosses. Stavemaster is the easiest to kill so north tends to finish first.
That map TD has basically died out now. No one enjoyed it much to begin with but now its rare to see the meta happening. That means the chances of that egg sac appearing are a million to one
What? I have to show up 20 minutes early to get a map that isn’t full.
Condi PS Berserker is best PvE spec for the Warrior. Arms, Tactics, Berserker. Optimal build setup can be found at qtfy.eu.
Interesting, so berserker gear is pretty much outclassed now?
No, zerk is still superior for 95% of the games content. People put way too much emphasis on gimmick benchmarks against a golem that doesn’t hit back. Running around HoT zones in Vipers gear is torture, you have very little burst and no sustain at all.
If you really want to spend laurels then Berserker’s is probably the safest way to go. For WvW you could craft some exotic Soldier’s or Knight’s trinkets if you need more defensive stats.
I don’t think they put any more thought into it other than picking a female npc to shoehorn in.
The energy costs kinda butcher the whole spec, then you factor in the cooldowns, cast times, too many ground targeted abilities and no access to swiftness or run speed and it all feels pretty clunky.
People will learn to stay out of the shades area, use their superior mobility and/or kill us from afar. We’ll stop being OP in PvP the minute they learn how to manage the spec’.
Hahaha, thats what we used to say about Dragonhunter traps.
Spoiler: people don’t learn. They’ll try to face tank it, die, and whine on the forums.
Scourge is definitely the new DH, a low level pub stomper that doesn’t see the light of day in competitive play but winds up getting nerfed anyways from the sheer amount of complaining.
I have a feeling sand shades are going to be the new Dragonhunter traps. They’ll get spammed on control points and people will whine about them until they’re nerfed into the ground.
Spellbreaker might be the least interesting spec in the entire game as far as pve goes.
The perils of light armor. You’re either an edgelord or a stripper.
Oh great, welfare legendaries.
Power Reaper might be the worst spec in the game, even Mesmers crap all over it now.
So this may just me being stupid , but what do you mean by D/- or n/d? I love the guide though.
Mainhand weapon/offhand weapon.
D/ is dagger mainhand, /D is dagger offhand.
So shroud gets nerfed right before releasing an expansion pack spec that forgoes the shroud mechanic completely? What a coincidence!
Silverwastes is still the best, fractal dailies, buying the magic packets with unbound magic, even chopping down every tree you see can make a good bit of money.
Yeah, the two boosts will stack and you get an extra shared inventory slot.
To the gem store!
It wasn’t really a balance patch, they were mostly minor tweaks.
Around 70-80 gold.
In this context, may I ask if the rest of the collection (outside of the items that you achieve through those three story missions) can be done on just any character?
Yes, however the exotic backpack will be soulbound to whichever character completes the collection.
I can’t think of a single reason to roll a Guardian over a Warrior.
Yeah, Norn are just stereotypical vikings. Humans have their gods and royal politics, Charr have legions and warbands, Sylvari have the pale tree and wild hunts, Asura have golems and sci-fi wackiness, the Norn are just kinda there.
“If it were that easy..”
You’ll almost always make more money simply selling the mats than you would crafting anything. Nothing has changed much in that regard.
World bosses are less about loot and more about seeing how many tells you get asking about your sweet color scheme.
Is there a single modern MMO with “challenging” leveling? FFXI is the last one I can think of that could be called difficult.
Group: Druid
Solo: Reaper
The second to last story mission in HoT lets you pick a Viper’s box. You can get some pieces that way assuming you have some leveled alts or a bunch of tomes laying around.
If we can dye the spectral glider I don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t be able to dye spectral weapons.
i’m not sure why people are angry when there is a new gem store item for sale. they have to make money to pay salary, bills etc. just ignore it if you don’t support purchasing gemstore item.
I can’t imagine why people would be getting upset at the gem store getting more content than the full price expansion. Makes no sense at all!
DH is a gimmicky PVP spec that dominates against players who don’t really know what they’re doing and is all but useless against ones who do.
Guardians, along with Thieves and Warriors, have been rendered completely irrelevant by Revenants.
HoT is a blatant and cynical cash grab. One of the worst expansions in the history of mmos. It destoyed a great game in GW2.
It’s so bad that the devs are hiding from us. Refusing to tell us what they are going to do to fix this garbage.
I imagine they’re too busy laughing at the amount of money chumps are throwing at the screen.
Oh wow, Steam sales already started. Think that’s more important.
better value.
It really puts things into a hilarious perspective.
Generic looking outfit and a glider skin you see a few seconds a day: $25
vs.
Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, and Fallout New Vegas: $20
So winning teams were:
Revenant : 6
Engineer : 4
Elementalist : 2
Necromancer : 2
Ranger : 3
Mesmer : 3
Guardian : 0
Warrior : 0
Thief : 0Right?
Boy, look at all those god mode Dragon Hunters making a mockery of the game..
Color me totally shocked to find out that traps which only work against bad players.. only work against bad players.
Skip to 11:25 in this video to see a comparison of target dummy kill times between various classes. DH is by far the worst…
You do realize that is using PvP stats with no group buffs, some of them are using food and others aren’t, and that different classes scale differently when you add in those extra PVE stats… right?
Using that video to come to the conclusion that “DH dps is bottom tier” is naiveté.
I didn’t use the video, I used my own experience. I have a DH, Scrapper, Reaper and Herald at level 80, and of those 4, DH does the lowest DPS, and it isn’t a very close race.
Guard/DH is my main, so for a long time I simply didn’t know any better until I burned some tomes and leveled other classes. Turns out those 9k True Shots every 5 seconds pale in comparison to Revenants who can hit 3k auto attacks every half second, or Reapers who can spam 15k Gravediggers every 2 seconds, or Engies who can have 8k burns/5k bleeds/3k poison stacks all ticking away.
I might be wrong, I would love to be proven wrong, but from everything I’ve seen & played, Dragon Hunter DPS simply isn’t competitive in large scale PVE engagements.
This isn’t remotely accurate. DH sustained DPS is probably bottom tier. We have a huge burst with feel my wrath/spear/true shot/trap stacks, but after that we’re out of gas for 20-30 seconds. I can put out a level of DPS with Reaper that my DH could only dream about, I mean they’re not even in the same ballpark. Its made DH practically unplayable for me.
Please tell me this is a lie.
I wish, but no. DH is a total one trick pony, and once that one trick gets nerfed thanks to all of the PVP crybabies, the class will have nothing left.
Skip to 11:25 in this video to see a comparison of target dummy kill times between various classes. DH is by far the worst. Like I said, after our big opening burst we’re completely out of gas while everyone else is pumping out steady DPS.
How can you think they are not useful. The longbow is the second highest dps in game behind the engineer along with the vault thief. And dps is what’s needed for vale guardian.

2 dodges negate traps…why is it so hard to dodge?, when you see DH standing on a point, consider all traps are at that point, come closer…dodge 2 times,negate traps…no dmg taken…kill DH…is it that hard?
I play DH and often do that strategy.
Ppl are stupid to learn counterplay. (proof: see burning guardian circle qq few weeks ago).
The average GW2 player doesn’t know how to do anything other than run around like a headless chicken while frantically mashing every hotkey that isn’t on cooldown.
Would be nice if you could dye it at least.
Mastery requirements for elite collections...

You’ll also need 75g worth of various items,, 750 of each zone currency, and a rare drop from noxious pods which only spawn after a 2 hour event in which you’ll be lucky if you have a chance to loot 5-10 of them. You also need to kill a treasure mushroom, which requires Nuhoch stealth mastery. I don’t know if you factored that one in.
Oh yeah, and you need map completion of one zone in HoT.

Set your texture setting to medium. It makes a negligible visual difference and fixed all the crashes for me.
Anet nerfed dungeon rewards precisely because they didn’t want them played anymore. So why would they now want to make them more interesting?
Wrong.
They said the reward nerf was a good thing for gw2 economy.Actually, you’re wrong. They literally came out and said they wanted to disincentivize dungeon play.
They can’t exactly come out and admit they killed dungeons because too many players were buying gems with gold instead of actual money, can they?
Have you ever heard of a developer actively dissuading players from playing established and functional content? Its unprecedented, at least to me.
No thanks, classes need nerfs to fix power creep.
L2P then. Or i suggest playing reaper, scraper, chrono, dragon hunter. They counter druid well.
Not really. Scrappers don’t have enough burst, Reapers can be kited pretty easily and DH is a worse version of Ranger if you dodge the traps. When I run Druid it takes a small army to kill me, its almost impossible to die 1v1. Chronos might be a threat, I don’t see enough of them to judge.
I’d bet a good amount of gold Druid has the highest win rate among the new professions, it certainly does for me, and by a pretty wide margin.
That bomb needs to be locked on a rail track .. can only go forward , can’t go backward.
So players only need to do knockback, push , lunches etc.. and the bomb will follow the track … or it can be just the actual paved little road .. but making this bomb able to move around in the entire room it’s an unnecessary difficulty .i’ve seen it once completely on the right side of the room
Bomb hockey would be a pretty fun PVP mode.
