Guild Wars 2

For example.. you are in a dungeon and fighting in melee range. There are tons of different effects flying around so you can’t even see where that elite/champion is. You can’t see when he is targetting you (until your hp pool goes down) or what he is about to do.

It gets even worse the bigger the fight is… You just get lost in the amoebic zerg that floats around and kills whatever moves…

How do time your interrupts etc when you can’t see what your target is doing? Is it just spamming your skills and hoping for the best? This is my biggest problem with group combat in gw2… I have no idea did my actions have any effect on my target. Or how do I time my dodges? Or how should I position myself so I don’t get hit by frontal aoe?

I would love to do group stuff, but if it’s “blindly” spamming your skills… no, thanks. I guess I need more tactical group stuff. Does it exist in pve?

Hi, I’m looking for a easy going guild/group/person to do stuff with. I do have one lvl 80 char, but since it has been over a year since I played last time I’m going to roll a new thief. Would be nice to find some company to travel through the areas and explore whatever we find. Discovering new stuff and failing in old is a lot more fun in a group/together than alone.

My timezone is EET (utc+2). I can play most evenings after 19/20 utc, but family comes first.

Cheers,

Thanks for the answers! I’ll keep upgrading my stuff, maybe I have some better understanding what to aim.

@Eduardo – Do you use some sort of calculator to get those numbers?

Hello fellow thieves,
Okay, finally hit 80 and retraited my thief from pve condition build to wvw burst (DD) or at least hoped it to be burst. I have played a few rounds in spvp before and was surprised that my wvw thief has only 36% crit chance with 20/30/20, armor doesn’t have runes yet and no consumables used. I had to put Hidden Killer -trait to get 100% crit so when hitting from stealth backstab hurts, without the trait backstab probably wouldn’t be that much of a threat.

So the question is what kind of stuff I need to get my crit rating to somewhere around the same numbers as in spvp (around 60% crit rating)? Most likely I also need more Hp so I need to give away something, but what? I don’t really know good my attack rating is for example…

I have mostly masterwork gear because I don’t have much gold and I don’t know yet which attributes I would like to focus on. I do know that in the end the player’s skill is what matters to most, I just like to tweak things on paper a lot.

My stats are:
Attack: 2763
Crit chance: 36%
Crit dmg: 74%
Armor: 1995
Hp: 12645

Power: 1894
Precision: 1584
Toughness: 1120
Vitality: 1100

Cheers!
