I don’t always get a new IP after i reset it, it’s random. But even if i don’t it seems to fix it temporarely.
Yes i type /ip to check map difference and some lag. Then I join a friends map and that one doesn’t lag.
If they wanna reduce high bandwidth then they should reduce the torrents that im downloading at 10 mbps for hours when I’m not in GW but they don’t.
Pretty sure GW uses way less bandwidth therefore it shouldn’t get flagged.
Either way what you’re saying makes sense so I’ll look into it. Thanks for reply

For the past week after 6 PM GMT +1 GW2 is unplayable.
If I reset router and get new IP it works for ~30 min then unplayable anymore.
Funny is I got 30 ping and all other mmos work fine so obviously ain’t my net and router.
Happens only on certain maps too so not all servers are like this.
Please fix your servers.

Amicable Pugs.4503

I agree on what Jerem said. It’s personal taste if you want ro sacrifice either ele or war dps to give more group benefits. As PS goes hand in hand with EA, one might like the PS warrior more. Now don’t come with “no need for EA, nor PS; l2p noob“. I know that you don’t need EA but having it is a nice benefit.
Also as staff ele is simply a beast compared to s/d or s/f I prefer to have the PS war.

Deathly btw. aren’t we all PHIWs ? But yeah, pretty much what kitten y said to the rest.

Don’t u just love how they censor my name?:D

8 seconds is not that impresive tbh but yea gz on that mesmer tactics though .

Stop trying to claim that those were YOUR tactics, everything has been done before you even did it. Claiming stuff that’s been done before as your own tactic is pretty lame and gives you a bad image and since you’re a big part of LuPi, gives that bad image to your guild too.
So gratz on what you achieved in this thread.
Look how old the portal to golem tactic is : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVsN18X0xKo
And the portal to 1st boss, everyone and their mother knows it. So tell me again what’s YOUR tactic?

Yes it is if you know how to dodge those hard hiting bosses. If youre gonna wipe youre gonna wipe anyway even with or without protection.

You can dodge all you want and pretend to be pro, won’t matter in the end since dodging = dps loss no matter how you put it. If there’s a way to mitigate damage and do more damage through that then why would we not do it? We can all solo Arah and other dungeons/fotm on Ele and Warr and probably any class if we cared, dodging doesn’t make you pro, having a good team and strat is only thing that matters in the end unless you’re soloing and this is ours. Also, correct me if I’m wrong but we beat your SE p1 earlier with 3 eles and 1 PS warr. 3 Eles could’ve stacked 25 might permanently easily yet we didn’t do it. Would’ve been a dps loss in the end. Feel free to do it yourself and beat us.
P.S. Sorry for letting you join our tours.

How viable are rangers in speed runs now?

in Ranger

Posted by: Amicable Pugs.4503

Amicable Pugs.4503

Ranger is definitely viable for record runs now.
We will release a few records including it in the upcoming days now that DnT tournaments over so keep an eye out on reddit and dungeon forum for those.
Reason for them being viable is that they literally have highest burst in game atm and they buff your groups dps by ~10% and as we all know bosses tend to barely last 10 sec in proper teams.
And about them being nerfed, whole reason people think rapid fire needs a nerf is cause they can’t dodge once, it’s a pvp issue not pve and doubt they’ll nerf them.

Sorry dude it’s not, I asked a friend to double test me and he got same result. Only tooltip gets 15%, actual damage boost in combat is 10%.
Also just a fyi, I play ONLY warr in pvp and pve. Focus mainly on pve so I do know the numbers I used to get before patch and there IS a 5% nerf there.
Just ask some of your friends to test it too.

If you are referring to the door that leads to the 1st alpha then nah, it still works.

How? they added some weird thing above it and can’t leap thru it anymore. Tried with hammer and got stuck inside this new thing now. As for sword leap, just falls down now.
So if you know how then please share, idk any better dummy to test stuff on ._.

Having High Res Character Textures on after recent patch makes the game stutter, turning it off even without changing map fixes it but then after you swap map npcs and other people look really bad.
No this ain’t a problem with my PC, i ran gw perfectly fine before this patch and it’s exactly the same now after i turn this option off. But i shouldn’t need to ….
So please for the love of god look into this, i honestly like the new optimizes but this is just absurd.

FGS controversy

in Profession Balance

Posted by: Amicable Pugs.4503

Amicable Pugs.4503

I didn’t even read the comments above me nor gonna bother, this is to OP.
The reason why fgs ruins pve is because the ONLY thing that keeps it competitive are records and tournaments.
EVERY record out there can be beaten with 4 ele’s and a 5th class for whatever ele’s can’t do.
That’s just bad and boring to watch.
Not to mention that unskilled players call themselves elite now due to being able to rush into a wall and kill a boss before 3 aegis’s run out.
The moment they’ll have to dodge more than twice in a record then that’s when we’ll see who can actually claim and hold records.
I miss the days when people knew how to do mossman normally….now all i see is bug him underwater or fgs, they don’t even know that you can do it normally.
Same story goes for so many other bosses and it’s just sad.
Also, you’re saying 100b will be new meta, with that 5% nerf it won’t be anywhere near it and the adrenaline nerf so just stop picking on warriors just cause your precious fgs will be useless aside from skipping trash in arah p2 now.
So yea nerfing and removing fgs from pve will make tournaments and records interesting to do AND watch again.

Can’t you guys add a no fgs into a wall rule ?:/ Again every boss will be walled, ice bow 5ed and then rushed into. Those who mess up will wipe/just die and that’s how every dungeon will go. Rarely you’ll see any new tactics. So why not just force everyone into doing bosses without fgs? See what new tactics people come up with and bet the viewers will enjoy it even more, making this an actual unique tournament.

Nice run, even if I don’t see a point using a mesmer without using portal.

Mesmer was for fgs under TW, rush goes half distance with quickness so against big hitboxes it’s almost same as doing it against a wall plus veil and another tw @ the end. That’s pretty much it, we 1st wanted a nec but we were like 5s behind WHAT like that ._.

Well, sorry to disturb but had to. The whole condition thing is for when you can’t solo as zerk and do bad rotations and/or need practice or need more room for mistakes. Rabid gear can tank 1 full rapidfire from Lupi, thats enough proof to show the skill cap it requires. Not to mention that whatever comparison you might of did between zerk and rabid is unreliable. Goku, Dub, Miku and many more can prove that zerk with proper rotation outdps anything else you’d try. That’s it, end of story/thread/argument.

Video of rapidfire thing :

Even without the few evade frames from 1st dodge i’d still be alive after.

Also another addition to OP’s post, seems a lot of warriors think Rush is bugged and bulls charge since they miss 80% of time. This is actually a gender bug that happens only on human females afaik. I changed from female to male recently and can confirm rush never misses anymore and nor bulls charge. Idk about other races tho.

Male human here,,,, they still miss.

Guess i gotta play warrior more then. Or idk….been wvwing for the past week and it never missed compared to when i was on female where it just went through my target hitting behind it :/

Just a slight addition/edit to Endure Pain.

With 30 points into defense a warrior can also grab, Defy Pain (another 4s Endure Pain at 25% hp), but it doesn’t care how you get to 25%; if you’re already blocking and have conditions, it will activate and waste part of your block, same with if you use your own Endure Pain.

Another addition to defy pain: Defy Pain goes on cooldown when you use the Endure Pain skill. So if you want to use both, you have to wait for Defy Pain to proc, then use the Endure Pain skill afterwards. That makes Defy Pain extremely lackluster because often when Defy Pain procs you’re at 5-15% hp and conditions usually bring you down easily before Defy Pain wears off.

Sorry this isn’t true, you CAN use EP before defy pain and it won’t go on cd. I don’t know how u got to this result but it’s not true, just tested it after reading your post.

Undead slaying on axe is fine, no might sigil will do more than 10% and the 3 might that u keep after swapping back to gs isn’t worth it compared to 10% on axe, you will hit 25 with gs anyway. You can altho take strength on mace since with 6/5/0/0/3 axe swapping rotations still do more dps when its not Lupi. And strength sigil can hold 3-5 might stacks while doing 1 axe chain compared to only 3 from battle which will get their duration overwritten by Forceful Greatsword trait anyway.
Btw we gotta redo that p4 -.- was barely paying attention lol

What class are you? Earth elementals doing 15k on a light armored classes isn’t anything new. They got 1 kittened attack that’s OP as hell. As for tentacles, their “normal” attack which hits in front of them does 90% of a warriors hp so again, 1 shots others classes. Their knockback attack does only 50% tho.

Yes i’m aware of how they work, just wanted to show that they DO stack IF some weird conditions are met but overall it’s a pointless method and not worth it imo.
And yes i did redo it just now and they don’t stack.

2. You can do the math yourself for Brie, 3 might from battle sigil is 105 power. Without any buffs/stacks u should have 2468 power, 5% of that is 123. the more power/might stacks u have the better it gets but if you’re solo then battles better for the part after u eviscerate to maintain better might alone. So force is useful only to show off in groups there xD Another thing to notice is if you have a main hand with force sigil then force and force don’t stack. I did few tests a while ago and they stack ONLY if some weird conditions involving equip and unequip order of weapons are met and if not then they don’t. So reproducing those conditions just for 5% isnt really worth it so its only useful with night and undead in main hand.
Here’s a video where force DOES stack
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYp-Ytdsjcg
Now if you equip those weapons 1 by one, lets say you get 1 axe with force, attack, ooc, get another axe with force equiped then they won’t stack cause idk…fail logic. If theyre already equiped like in that video then they DO stack.
3. After the 30 min CD patch its only 1 stunbreak per 30 min but still useful in few places

1. Stacking set should be axe mace, not horn since you will be stacking in places like AC, CoE, grawl, aetherblade fractal and so on where mace 5 is useful while horn 5 is useless.
2. Offhand mace sigils should be force and battle. Battle for bad group setups and duoing. Force for when you got an ele in group or any other form of might stacking. Force can also get you better evisc at Brie
3. Ogre pet whistle is also a stun break.
4. III in arms is also a viable choice for soloing in places where you know that you won’t be able to keep bleeds up long enough for Attack of Opportunity to be permanently triggered.
