Use this http://qtfy.eu/build/mesmer

Ah, so you recommend the Berserker build, too.

Well, I was just wondering if the Assassin’s build makes more sense since I don’t have the means to get 15 Precision Infusions?

I don’t think an Assassin build makes sense at all. Most classes go for 100% crit, but Mesmer’s usually take two + pieces with boon duration instead of ferocity as third stat.
So, you would use Power infusions if/when you get them.
Also
The answer is there on Qt’s site.Variations tab + stat infusions – Mesmer is the only power class in the current meta that loses DPS by going for 100% crit chance. This is due to having to use both commander’s leggings and an exotic back piece. The loss of ferocity is great enough to make power more effective than precision.

Uh, is this even a question? Queen Jennah obviously.

I am wondering what was the reason behind the pvp sets being so much work.

Ascended Shards of Glory:
Last season we got 1300 shards for simply finishing each chest once .
This season to get 1300 shards we need to finish each chest once + play (and win) roughly 360 games (or if losing up to 720) if my math is correct (Last chest takes 18 wins to “open” and since you get 50/chest, you need 20 chests to get 1k shards).

Where I perceive a problem:
I personally played 200-300 games during each previous pvp season, and obviously, not all of them were wins (50-70% win rates).
So basically, for an average player like me, a full set (1300 shards like we got last season) would take about 2-3 seasons to get enough shards for 1 set. (And then add there’s crafting/gold sink component to it, which pretty much means you pay the same as you would for a normal crafted set).

So, I guess, my question(s):
Does anybody else think that the base amount of [Ascended Shards of Glory] you get from non-repeatable chests should be higher?
Is there a reason ANET made those skins into such ridiculous amount of work?

For the record: 360 games is 30 hours assuming you’re really fast and each match only takes 5 minutes and you have no matchmaking time (does not account for 1 extra pip you getif you have top stats). Each loss adds extra 5 minutes to that number.

EDIT: Just realized I made my calculations assuming 1300 can buy a set….. You 1400 so that’s 396 wins for 1100 shards….

Is this just the screams from the Shark Maw JP?

I considered that but am pretty sure Shark Maw extends south of the mill, generally sw of the scream spot. I might have to go run through Shark Maw just to get my dotted white lines on the map …

The screams are triggered by running through the particular corn stalk, or stepping on the bare ground near it between it and the rock jumble. Getting your mini to run across the ground (by turning in place) also triggers them. Per an Asura I met there, the corn/ground next to the rocks will also scream but is not nearly as “chatty.” I did not get any screams from that patch, though it’s hard to tell unless you are alone since others can evoke the sound at the main stalk.

The sound triggers for everyone around but the exact sound is not the same for everyone. With four of us there, we compared between gasp, wail, growl, and scream, and were each getting our own sound when one person ran into the stalk while the rest stood still.

They did make a mistake by mixing up two bandits.
Big Nose Ted, is the one that gets arrested by Commander Serpentine, in the human ‘commoner’ storyline.
Pete is “Two-blade-Pete”, from the human ‘street-rat’ storyline.

Hey look at it from the bright side. At least it’s gonna be one day less to wait for episode 5

Let me repeat the key word in there in case it was missed: FREE.

Good customer. You’re a baby who is sleeping and dreaming in his baby carriage, called liberalism.

Nothing is free, never.

If nothing is free then why does the word even exist?

because it is something we aspire to obtain…. kinda like a good looking woman, who cooks and cleans!

By “we” you really mean, what “you” aspire to.

This is a common sense question, my friend.

It isn’t, because ANet isn’t always consistent about their application of their own rules, let alone “common sense” logic. Plus, “common sense” turns out to be different for different people.

More importantly, while most transmutation mistakes are easily fixed, making a mistake with a legendary could be horribly costly.

Thus, it’s good sense (common or otherwise) to verify the mechanics first, especially since it’s really easy to do so.

Your opinion is your opinion, don’t feel like its shared by the rest to the player base. Everyone has different lives and relates to the characters differently.

For example, alot of people hate Marjory and Kasmeer, but like it or not there’s lesbian players in this game who appreciate such things. But the solution to that problem is to give us more straight and male/male relationships, not less lesbian maintext.

The issue is simple, this is an MMO, and it is ArenaNet’s job to make money off of it, and that means attracting as many markets as possible. So its always better to add and extend than to remove anything.

Failure to realize this is what lead to season one being so unproductive.

Alot of people relate to Braham because they’ve lived a life similar to his. If ArenaNet kills him off, they could lose that portion of the market, its bad for the game. Braham’s attitude in general is reflective of Norn culture, and as you can see of the thousands upon thousands of “annoying” Norn players in the game, people like it.

Would you like soaring gem prices and delayed expansions because of “annoyance” ?

I recommend taking a step back and trying to understand that the world, and especially social communities, just don’t work like you want them to.

Support is aware of this and similar problems. But yeah, official post on this forum would have calmed frustration a bit.
