Guild Wars 2

There are just as many zerker casuals and phiw hardcores. You are all perpetuating a false dichotomy. Many, many casuals love being efficient and playing good dps builds. Many, many hardcore players who log on 12 hours a day love playing cleric healers.

I go into a bakery. The bakery makes all types of cakes, but only has 3 kinds of doughnuts… Regular, chocolate covered, and Cinnamon. The bakery is called Entenmann’s. I go in talk to the owner. Say " you know, I dislike those three types of doughnuts, maybe you can make creuller’s or maybe cherry filled ?"

The Owner listens politely, and says " I’ll look into it."

For 2 years they don’t add any other type of doughnut. I have been talking to the owner for 2 years. week after week. Anyway, One of the other patrons comes and says to me… " You know… there is another bakery just down the block that has 40 different types of Doughnuts, maybe you should go there?"

You can see where I’m going?

Like seriously. I haven’t done this path in months because this fight is so broken now. It does too much damage and it’s literally impossible to do without wiping.

Remember guys, you’re a filthy casual unless you sub. Who plays more than 3 pvp matches a day anyways? It’s like you enjoy Skyhammer or something

hope you took a picture of the old one, because you about to be ripped a new one.

Alright I’m back from google translator.

Obtena.7952:

Maybe you should reflect on how that makes you feel and think about how the first guy in GW2 that was kicked for using the wrong build or gear felt as well

So how many FPS are we talking here?

… and the message that sent him on how to behave ingame. Intolerance didn’t start with play how I want people. If your being randomly abused by people, think of why that’s happening …

So what you’re telling me is.. We need to hunt down the first guy to ever treat a random PHIW’er badly.. and burn him at the stake for his actions. He caused a domino effect that is causing me grief today!

Grab your pitchforks boys, we’re gonna settle this once and for all. Elitists UNITE

Step 1: Set to follow
Step 2: Kill everything yourself in <3 seconds (zerker gear ftw)
Step 3: Done

well that was a pretty casual pace imo … we just finished Arah path 4 last Tuesday obtaining the dm title in the process

all at the same time which was pretty cool

Thanks to our warrior friend for coming online just as we were starting lupi once and then leaving right after. Thanks again to our warrior friend for doing path 4 up to the orbs before leaving to get some sleep. But special thanks to the awesome guardian who came to my simple lfg plea said only “simin” party composition ele/ranger/ranger/thief. We had tried four manning it for an hour before you came. Thought for sure you would quit but you were the definition of patience and I am pretty sure we left you petrified for a minute at a time….twice simins health dropped down to where I thought for sure she must be dead only to have it rise to 25% again.

kids were falling asleep… I looked over and saw one of them about “10 meters” from simin just standing there swinging away at his sword… passing out… I had a crazed look in my eye “nobody quits! we are not quitting this close! move over to the boss so you can hit her”

though after I realized we had been fighting ourselves by not concentrating on gathering the sparks more efficiently… much more difficult than it should have been

Generous Guardian lead the way to the final thing and told us to might and fgs rush the thing and I was happy to oblige. It was a gimme after the previous death match.

ranger age 8/9 -2300ap approx
thief age 10/11 -2300ap approx.

in before “my 2 year old brother did it” and “my dog Rufus did it”

definitely doable … nine months or so I forget is pretty casual imo

Finishing it with them was my personal story and endgame so I am done here. Thank you for the adventure Anet. I hope that someday they remember the time their dad did this with them.

Info:

Started off doing the story modes then worked our way up through them in the natural order. We left Aetherblade path till the last few.

Berserker gear was worn but stats and upgrades were defensive in nature till Hotw storymode where I could see that they were able to handle full zerk. Oh ya the young ranger started off in carrion but he started concentrating on just wacking stuff with his greatsword so I later switched his condition stats to precision and bonus damage which changed his playstyle not at all.

Once we hit Sparky and Slick the two kids were just getting ground down by the constant slow damage so I changed their setups which they kept the rest of the way though

ranger… I switched to 4/4/6(barkskin)/0/0 Valkyrie armor/runes of the ranger/zerk weapons and jewellery/food and upgrades to achieve 50% crit chance and 220% crit bonus damage

thief… I switched to “heal on hit” 4/4/6/0/0 Magi armor/traveler runes/zerk weapons and jewellery … thief changed class to guardian and switched back and forth between them as he saw fit… guardian was the class for him … he was throwing up blocks and reflects for us without being told anything
Mrs. Bearbow stayed in zerk the entire time. Well except for Lupi and the odd other encounter. We were not good enough with Lupi so for that we switched to surviveablity (except for barkskin ranger who never changed his setup) and did the event with ranged weapons. Grub part 1 or 2 would range lupi while 3 would use sword and kill grubs then for last two stages all would range. I imagine that is how most noob groups do it. It was slow but dependable always working on the first try.

My builds usually zerk warrior 6/6/0/0/2 greatsword and axe/axe or gs/rifle. Lupi I went soldier/6/0/4/4/0 runes of dolyak healing signet. Ele I used everything sometimes full water build… alphard the four of us stacked behind a post and I was in water the entire time… idk it got it done… what a buggy path… least favorite of all the dungeon paths.

We killed almost everything and stacked about 3 times in total. For us stacking would have been unepic but that is just how we wanted to play. If we were running that stuff multiple times Id stack the kitten out of it but just one time for us.

Haha about the only thing we didn’t kill was Lt. Kholer. For some reason at the time we didn’t beat him. We tried three times, once per path, and failed each time. I thought about going back and kicking his kitten but he beat us fair and square at the time. Victorious he will remain. My he kick many a noob kitten in the future.

thanks for your time and for not flaming the heck out of this post…. I was really surprised when you did not flame it… one of the many things I was wrong about.

Good Luck!

and the end. I wont bump this again. apologies if some memories of what was done are a bit fuzzy and somethings don’t quite add up

Mordremoth is so powerful, he rejects your reality and substitutes his own.

I can prove that by a simple thought experiment:

Thesis: Necros are good.

1. People say eles are bad.
2. Anet buffs eles.
3. Ele is good now.
4. People say necros are bad.
5. Anet doesn’t buff necros.
6. Necro must be good already.

Q.E.D.

Shoutout to the Devs and especially Jon ‘5 signets’ Peters who graced us with this wonderfully balanced game.

You know, since you seem so gung-ho on this, might I direct you to a forum where people PvE theorycraft extensively: http://www.dtguilds.com/forum/viewforum/4280860/m/6563292

Thanks I am familiar with this site and Brazil’s ranger builds. But I’ve never seen numbers for condi Rangers earnestly run by him or other players.

I’m almost certain if you posted your findings there you will get someone who’s willing to talk math with you.

It would end in tears.

in response to another thread i thought i would bring this here. dont know why. just thought it would be something to think about or perhaps understand.
******

I am the eternal PuGer
My typical time to play is between midnight and 6 am NA, ( i am a Chef as my screen name implies so my hours are all sorts of not normal.)
I will be completely honest.
IN my 2 years of PuGing.
with the exception of the occasional run with dungeon forum regulars. (which number of runs i can count on 2 hands)

I have never seen 25 stacks of might.
I have never seen a 5 person DpS group.
I have never seen a Sword, Warhorn/axe Ranger.
I have never seen a dagger Necromancer.
I have to be the Gaurdian in Fractals because wall of reflection and hammer is not what being a guardian is about… 0.o
Kohler is skipped 19 out of 20 times..
Lupi is either rage quit or ranged. Melee involves at least 5 wipes. (as i am not quite good enough to solo him… YET)
i am sure i could think of more if i really thought about it.
…. ((sobs))

So,
For all of you that are “good” I want to personally say KEEP BEING AWESOME! yes that involves You Colsey, Swifty, Brazil, Nike, Rising Dusk, Sanderinoa, Random fight fan, Nevets Crimsonwing, FriFox, Lillith, Spoj, Dub, Card, Domz, Dekeys, Purple Miku, Sam, Jarem, Ivan the Grey, DnT, Snow Crows, Retaliate, Ren, King, Club, …….

and so many others that i am forgetting.

Keep doing what you are doing, and if nothing, realize there is at least one person out there that is eating it all up and trying to learn as best he can from what information is available. You are constant inspiration to at least me. and in turn i take what you all teach and try my very best to pass it along to the people that i come into contact with.

For all of you that want to come into the Dungeon Forums and complain.. you can Bugger right off. Instead of complaining, why don’t you be constructive and actually ask questions on how you can complete the content. Instead of trying to change the game.

((shrug))
I really don’t know where that all came from. But I had to take almost 2 weeks off from the game because I could not stand the constant crying.
Keep kicking tail gang yer all awesome.

Hello, is this the thread where we discuss introducing mounts into gw2?

Laar.5476:

Mesket.5728:

body blocking in combat / body trespassing while out of combat.

Others game did it and it works perfect. It improves both PVE AND PVP.

That could be said about anything.

Other games did a trinity better, it improves both PVE and PVP.

Other games did mounts better, it improves both PVE and PVP.

Other games did jiggle physics better, it improves both PVE and PVP.

Other games did (insert latest BHB fix here) better, it improves both PVE and PVP.

Gw2 needs better jiggle physics…dem Charr ^.^

What’s wrong with the game, Anet
People playin’ like they ain’t got no ranged weps
I think the whole forums addicted to the drama
Only attracted to things that’ll bring you trauma

Over LFG, yeah, we try to stop stackin’
But we still got elitists here playin’
In the LA, the big GMB
The Colesys and The Liliths and The Swiftpaw

But if you only have love for your own class
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you’re bound to get irate, yeah

Madness is what you demonstrate
And that’s exactly how anger works and operates
Man, you gotta play how you want just to set it straight
Take control of your mind brain and meditate
Let your bear pet gravitate to the mob, y’all, y’all

People stackin’, people dyin’
OP’s hurt and you hear them cryin’
Can you practice what you preach?
Or would you turn the other cheek?

Danicia, Robert, Hrouda help us
Send some guidance from above
‘Cause people got me, got me questionin’
Where is the Stack? (Stack)

Where is the stack (The stack)
Where is the stack (The stack)
Where is the stack, the stack, the stack?

It just ain’t the same, old ways have changed
New meta is strange, is the game insane?
If Clerics and Nomads are so strong
Why are there pieces of trash mobs that don’t belong?

Ele’s droppin’ swords
Toxic communties fillin’ lungs of little ones
With ongoin’ sufferin’ as the zerker’s die easy
So ask yourself is the stackin’ really gone

So I could ask myself really what is goin’ wrong
In this game that we playin’ in people keep on stackin’ in
Makin’ wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends
Not respectin’ each other, deny thy brother
A stack is goin’ on but the reason’s undercover

The truth is kept secret, it’s swept under the rug
If you never know truth then you never know stacking
Where’s the stack, y’all, come on (I don’t know)
Where’s the stack, y’all, come on (I don’t know)
Where’s the stack, y’all

People stackin’, people dyin’
Posters hurt and you hear them cryin’
Can you practice what you preach?
Or would you turn the other cheek?

Where is the stack (The stack)?
Where is the stack, the stack, the stack?

I feel the weight of the forums on my shoulder
As I’m gettin’ older, y’all, comments get colder
Most of us only care about gold makin’
Selfishness got us followin’ the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the Speed runners
Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young mindbrains faster than bacteria
Kids wanna act like what they see in the livestreams

Yo’, whatever happened to the values of humanity
Whatever happened to the fairness and equality
Instead of spreading PHIW we’re spreading animosity
Lack of understanding, leading us away from unity

That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feelin’ under
That’s the reason why sometimes I’m feelin’ down
There’s no wonder why sometimes I’m feelin’ under
Gotta keep my faith alive ‘til stackin’ is found

Sing with me y’all:
One stack, one stack (We only got)
One stack, one stack (That’s all we got)
One stack, one stack
And something’s wrong with it (Yeah)
Something’s wrong with it (Yeah)
Something’s wrong with the Ga-Ga- Game, yeah
We only got
(One stack, one stack)
That’s all we got
(One stack one stack)

A nit to be picked. Would be nice to have 8 slots on the character select screen.

Purple Miku.7032:

Why are you playing GW2 if you don’t like the mechanics of the combat?

Maybe he fell for their advertising?

And only after spending 50£ learned all there is to it is stack and mash.

how about you … Stop playing? If you don’t enjoy a game doesn’t it make sense to stop playing it? It’s like everyone on this forum is addicted to self flagellation, they whine about stacking over and over again and just … Carry on playing, making themselves annoyed and whining some more. I mean if you still wanted to play you could just make no stack lfgs – it’s not that hard.

lordkrall.7241:

It is also made rather clear in the story that Taimi seems to have a way to fix the WPs so that Mordy can’t use them anymore, which would make this all issue rather moot.

But that would get in the way of his dream of riding mounts through those dredge tunnels and having his head clip through the ceiling every stride . . .

If getting two identical legendary deserve 25ap + Twice-Told Legend title, I think crafting 5 unique legendaries deserves the title of Legendary Collector, at least.

What is this exclusive armour set enlighten me quick Lilith.

New pvp all stars tournament. Basically first prize through third get all or pieces of an exclusive pvp armor set that will only be rewarded in future tournaments. So it is armor basically reserved for the top pvp players and no one else.

pvp is true skill sick of carrying skrubs in my daily fractal 1 l2p haha bads get rekt
