Bismuth.3165:

How do you support something that doesn’t exist?

Not to get off topic but isn’t that what religions do? :p

Bismuth.3165:

How do you support something that doesn’t exist?

Better yet, how do you support something that won’t exist.

I don’t understand why paying for Dm is lame while getting carried is not

Paying for the DM title is kinda lame. You can buy the title but you can’t buy skill/experience. Having the title on in a dungeon and sucking so hard, it won’t go unnoticed.

99.5% of all people with dungeon master aren’t any close to being skilled or having experience.

Adding to this; buying a run isn’t any different to being carried. If anything it’s more courteous.

It shows you have no respect for the guys who used their blood and sweat to put those trash mobs in dungeons.

but my staff ele in 0/010/30/30 full clerics with dwayna runes is 100% viable in dungeons. I will make sure anyone who disagrees with me get infracted.

Wukunlin, I chose you!

John Smith.4610:

It’s actually very useful, you just need to apply a little work.
Think of what you know. You know that many, many people play the content, which means you know the distribution is dense.
Knowing the general shapes of dense distributions, apply a tail to each side, but I told you I eliminated one tail.
Now you have several possible models of total wealth gain for the content that you can get pretty accurate with only the one number. The individual isn’t important for what you’re attempting to learn, only the aggregate.

It’s actually really relevant, you just need to think about it.
Take a chicken. You know a chicken may or may not have feathers, which means balloons are great.
Knowing balloons are great, tie the chickens feet together, but I told you to cut off the chickens feet.
Now you have several chickens, which may or may not have feet. The feet are not important for what you want to know, just the balloons.

Yep…makes perfect sense.

Maybe dungeon team works in basement to release 7 dungeons revamp at the same time! Have faith.

There is a term for that. Interns.

because of the QQ

The best bit is, you can’t even crit the boss so PVT is fine. And yet here we are with legions of scrubs crying.

Power/Vit/Condition is the best armor for the tree. everyone knows this. Only casuals dont have a carrion set to swap to in their inventory.

Looks like you got kicked from arah. The pros sporting their dungeon master title in arah posting for experienced only play how they want and kick how they want. You better stick to their dungeon master pro strats.

- Range mage crusher in front of the pedestal. DO NOT try to melee… it’s too hard…. It goes up in the air and gives you 3s react to dodge. It’s better to be safe and take 3x longer and not learn how to fight an easy boss

- Pull alphard back to the wall and range it. DO NOT try to melee it.. it’s too hard… It has ranged attacks that all can be rendered useless by projectile destruction/reflection. It’s better to be safe and take 3x longer and not learn how to fight an easy boss

- You don’t know cool ship skip…. OMG!! Use it. Stability and swiftness skills… there’s too many skills I have unlocked to know what does what to know what to bring to run. Let’s just jump ship for as long as it will take a good speed clear group to finish the whole path so we can wait for everyone that can’t jump to make it to the boss instead of learning the timing on deadeye shot to dodge it and use stability if needed.

- This lupi guy… He is so big and scary so range must be best. It’s better to be safe and take 5x longer. It’s not like you will wipe anyway doing that. All those bubbles… why is this happening…. A grub spawned… why is this happening…

- This SIMIN.. OMG OP!!! plz nerf. I want to play how I want and I can’t beat it. Nerfed. Ok no strategy now just press 1 to win. Thanks for the fix!

- Path 1… nah too tough

- Bring a clerics rifle, shortbow, staff, or pistol/dagger and you will have a better chance of staying alive to res any noob zerkers that may be in the group. You are the last one standing you must be awesome and won’t get kicked.

Seriously though I don’t get why there’s so many of these topics. I have pugged so much and I got kicked 1 time because I lagged out and my internet was out for about 5min. I’ve only seen people in groups I’ve been in get kicked for that reason or they were told many times to stop doing something that truely screws the group over and won’t listen.

Oh well, that might be true.

Also: Can we call this the great TAFU SNAFU? Pretty please? I just want an excuse to say it.

Viable is great when the optimal is unknown. Once optimal is known, there is only one viable.

Direksone.3867:

They also mentioned Ascended gear coming, so perhaps then?

For one, you needed ascended to get AR to move forward in fractals.

Then we got the amulet. Not in fractals.

Then the earrings. Again not in fractals.

Armor? Won’t be in fractals.

Weapons? Won’t be in fractals.

Why do ascended items have infusion slots, again?

haviz.1340:

So what’s the most challenging aspect of this game, pve-wise? Liadri?

Staying interested in the game

In other words, this is just another embarrassing oversight that anet (devs) made, and they are not going to take the time to fix it. They have proven time and time again that they are in over their heads. If it weren’t for the art team, this game would be no better than any other ftp game on the market.

l2p necro, at least

how about be open minded and appreciate fear builds in high lvl fractals?

thanks to Ascii we had a thread about farming DED from day 1. Whereas other profession subforums didnt have any threads about DED farming at start.

Necros have more than enough interrupts for DED. I only use of 1 and that’s only as an o kitten button if I know he ports out of 900range (scepter).

The only trouble necros had was with Liadri 8, which again we had to work around by adding Energy sigils/Orrian stew foods.

I really wish my laptop could handle my recording and uploading and sharing on youtube but I can’t I’m happy I can atleast farm him with 10-20fps in domes.

Despite all the feedbacks you can find across the forums if you still feel necros have it unfairly hard at DED, then please by all means add me and synch to my instance so can show you how easy it really is to farm DED5G.

He couldn’t be wrong because he has his spreadsheet as a proof.
Assume his group is as elite as it could be, on Path 1, the Ooze boss took around 2m, the Crystal gangs took around 1m, the Oily guy took around 2:30m from start to finish and the last boss 30s. Total time of bosses are 6m.
Path 3, the 1st mob 30s, the Crusher 1m, the mage 1m and the last boss 2m from start to finish. Total time of boss & mobs are 4:30m.
Path1 run lengths are longer than path 3.
Lupi temple’s fight doesn’t count because it’s a common factor for the same group.
Add spreadsheet fudge factor to subtract 30s from path 1 and add 30s to Path 3, Path 3 fights are still 30s faster than Path 1.
The only thing that could throw his group off to make path 3 is very much longer than path 1 is if his group doesn’t know how to throw the orbs.

As a friend pointed out to me: the worst thing about this patch is for Dungeon guilds. they’ll have a hard time now since all they do is dungeons and there’s almost no motivation to do more after your 1st set. although you could just go and do all dungeon paths in the game i doubt that many people would start doing se p2 for example regularly. that means after around 1-2hours played you’ve completed your dungeons and then you have not much left to do. even if you wanted to do a path again you probably are forced to pug it cause you’re guildies have done it already. same problem if you get on later than the rest.

Welcome to the forums, solo vids are on the left, naked runs on your right, and straight ahead behind that locked door lie the secrets of the staff guardian mf build.

It was kind of meant as a response, implying his post was refering to the low framerate. “Concerning” might have been a better choice, though.

I really don’t get it. I mean it was obvious (by obvious I mean crystal clear, zero humidity on a sunny day, 20/20, spotting dimes, sticking out like a sore thumb, “Hey isn’t that an elephant in the room!”) that there would be an “issue” by implementing things in such a fashion.

So why why why do they go forth, knowing that they will have to put in corrective measures, after the fact?

“Hey, want to make a giant snowball?”
“Sure thing!”

“Right on let’s start.”
“Alright.”

“Let’s make it by the top of the hill.”
“Isn’t there the chance that it may roll down the hill.”

“Ofc there is! We are going to push it.”
“Won’t we have to clean up the mess afterwards?”

“Well yes, we will.”
So…tell me again why we are going to push it?"

“Idk…just push it. We will worry about it later. Live in the moment!”

kimeekat.2548:

I… feel like your whole post is trying to re-explain feminism in a thread full of people already in-depth applying/rebutting feminist terms/theory to watchknights (at least in the first six or so pages, heh). That’s probably why you got such a snarky response. It’s like coming into a physics classroom and explaining multiplication at the end of the session. No one has said that the problem is men. You brought someone’s direct, specific reply out into a generalized straw man (as relating to this thread, anyways) critique of feminism.

Thank you. Yep, that is why I will not reply to him — I do not care to have my words strawmanned, especially after I EXPLICITLY said:

It’s not that all men are actively, hatefully sexist or that all straight people are actively, hatefully homophobic, and so on, or that no one who is not part of any group can have an opinion about said group. Far from it!
