Buy the marauder recipe and play HoT ?

I’m aware that is an option, I just feel there’s probably a better combo in PvE since you’re not limited to only using one amulet with one set of stats

I really like the balance of damage to tank-iness I have with the marauder amulet when I PvP (Heavy armor – Soldier Profession, for anyone who wants to know), I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts of the best way to convert this balance to a full set of PvE gear.

For anyone wondering, Marauder stats are
Major: Power/Precision
Minor: Vitality/Ferocity

I’m aware that I could just make all my armor/weaps/trinks with marauder stats but given that toughness is a thing, and combinations of different stat-ed gear are usually better, that didn’t seem like the ideal answer.

THANKS FOR THE HELP IN ADVANCE!!!

I currently run a druid build that is pretty much meant to be 100% support and I was wondering what the best pets for support are?

My personal thought is that fern hound is one for sure due to its heal and regen skill but I need to know some other good ones.

This is really a begging plea at this point. I look at the dev tracker every day and see them constantly responding to the most random of crap. Then I head over to the WvW section, one of the things that separates guild wars from a lot of other MMOs, and I see maybe one post they’ve replied to since the start of HoT….

Feel free to list other WvW issues in this thread, but a big one for me at least, I literally have run out of badges just because I spend the proof of heroics I get from rank up chests. Now I’m just getting more and more of these and they are pretty much useless at this point…

Please A Net, just respond to a few of the posts so we know you are even reading them.

they wont. it’s pointless

also how have you run out of badges I probably have over 15k

I generally do not save tons of badges, and so I ended up running out quicker than others. My issue is not that, oh, I decided to buy a bunch of exotic gear and now I’m out, it’s that by just spending my proof of heroics with badges and not badge only items, while still continuously leveling up, I slowly drained to 0, and now I’m just getting proof of heroics that I can do nothing with.

In the irony to end all ironies, the moderator will move this thread into the WvW forum

They actually did it…they moved it to the freaking WvW forums….thanks A Net…

This issue is actually quite a problem, wish devs would respond to this instead of all the random crap they respond to…

I agree that the drop rates need to change. I’d be fine if they brought back down the rate of the hero point things, but I can’t accept having literally useless currency..

If you wanna try, I can PM you my WvW build (staff/staff, 1525 healing, 24k hp, 3k4 armor, max Astral Focus generation – you hit the 10 sec CD everytime, no damage stat).
It has been designed mainly for outnumbered fights with a 15-20 guild group.

That would be much appreciated!

Hi guys, I’ve recently been getting into my ranger and I was wondering if anyone had any good heal focused builds?

Preferably a build that can heal a lot but is not super squishy and can tank a little if needed. I DO NOT CARE ABOUT DPS, THIS IS FOR MY ENJOYMENT MAINLY NOT COMPETITIVE USE.

Gamemodes that I like to play: WvW and PvE

Linken.6345:

Yes you do but the +5 simple infusions only cost afew fractal relics anyway.
If your going for second upgrade then take out the infusions you made yourself

Take them out? How does one do that exactly? (Sorry, noob here)

Hi, I’ve been doing some lower level fractals lately and was planning to put in some agony resistance, but I was wondering, for trinkets, if I were to upgrade one of my trinkets via the forge, would it lose the current infusions when I combine it with the ectoplasm to get the better trinkets with agony slots?

Dastion.3106:

I’m been using basically the same build for PvE all along – with alterations based on the situation. It’s what I originally coined the Rewinder because of all of the CD reduction.

Illusions: 212 (possibly Phantasmal Haste if you prefer)
Inspiration: 321
Chronomancer: 333

Lots of alacrity, reduced cd illusions and shatters, shattering Phantasms respawns them and reduces your Phantasm CDs (which includes your Shield Block).

Sword/Shield then whatever other weapon set you prefer. I use GS for ranged tagging if doing solo PvE but with a group you’d prob prefer Sword/Sword or Sword/Focus and switch the second inspiration trait to #1.

Gear I run with zerkers/assassins (your defenses are all active). Utilities I was running full Wells (Precog PvP, Recall PvE) but in groups run Signet of Ether, WoAction, WoRecall, Mimic, and Time Warp (the basic PvE meta utilities). though with this setup you need to decide whether to stick with Insp and boost your Time Warp or go Dom and boost your Signet.

The Mesmer with high active defenses is finally starting to get the intention some of the Mesmer community have been trying to point at it :P

Very detailed and informative! This sounds great!

I will definitely try that! I haven’t tried much though besides joining the PvP lobby, I was hoping to have some ideas for a build before I got all geared up.

Hey everyone! I was wondering if any of you guys had some fun chrono builds for PvE? I don’t really care about it being the absolute best in terms of survival in DPS, just fun to play with. I really like illusion-heavy builds and the greatsword, so if it includes either of those, amazing

Thanks for the help in advance!

So I’ve been leveling up my new revenant lately (love the profession btw) and I was wondering if anyone has made/thought of any super tanky builds?

Doesn’t need any dps, I just want a super tank. It would also be helpful to comment how it should be used for max tank-age.

Please comment ideas

I love to play Edge of the Mists and in general WvW, as such, my map completion and along with it, hero points, tend not to be super high. I understand some people want a super large hero point map completion grind, but I don’t think it’s right to say all the WvW players have to spend endless hours grinding hero points in strict PvE when they like the more PvP aspects of the game. I like the decision by them to do this because even though I’ll have to go and grind out some hero points, in won’t be to the point of, “I will not be bothering with the new spec because I’d rather do WvW”.

My main concern with the new expansion is the vast amount of hero points that I would need for an elite spec. I was so excited when they released the details of the elite necro spec. Now I find out that I have nowhere close to the amount of hero points needed for it. I love edge of the mists and just WvW in general. I used to play it all the time. I only recently returned with the release of the expansion only to find that I will need endless hours of grinding to ever come close to unlocking everything in my elite spec. I also recently started a revenant and it’ll take a while to get to level 80, but getting 400 extra hero points for the elite spec? Forget it. I’m not a super dedicated player, and I understand that I’ll never have the best gear, but I think I should at least be able to have some fun with all the new abilities.
