Guild Wars 2

Just did a quick calculation where i compared my usual (not maximum damage 10/25/0/10/25) build with "suboptimal" food/stacking sigil (solo lupi setup) to the one he linked in this thread.
Result: I deal 264% of his damage, assuming he camps greatsword and uses all skills on cooldown in a solo setting and still 210% of his damage in a group setting.
While, as a sidenote, supporting much more than him.
Just for science, when i take our usual circumstances into account i’d deal over 520% of his damage. Again, while supporting way more than his build allows him to.

You can’t get critical damage infusions anyway.

What about... just chosing both?

Silentstorm.7531:

Full berserker gear isn’t that much higher dps wise. So it comes down to traits. I have a full dps build.

The only thing that are somehow “dps’ish” in that build are the few berserker pieces and the runes. The traits are kitten, as usual.

Anyone putting points in valor for dps does not how to make a decent dps pve build.

err... 10/30/30/0/0 1h is the highest dps guardian build out there. That or 20/25/25 2h.
Or do you mean the lack of support?

20/25/15/0/10 or 20/30/10/0/10 using 1h+2h sword rotation, i think. I’ll check it quick.

Edit: 20/30/10/0/10 without stacking sigils/etc. 20/25/15/0/10 in an actal ingame setting.

How does anet even create more bugs than they fix?

Zelyhn.8069:

As for guang, well ...

6u4n6m47h

18-21 permanent party might, fury, high dps, projectile absorb, fiery greatsword (i.e. highest dps in the game). Oh, tons of blast finishers, blinds and cc.

Rangers, and Engineers in comparison bring little unique abilities to the table. Even elementalists bring little outside of AC.

Might wanna rethink that.

Thanks, i was about to leave some “oh boy” comment, even swapped account!
You just saved me one infraction, i guess.

Is anything going happen about this? I mean figuring out what causes it isn’t hard - whirl skills. Aswell as Whirlwind Attack just causes this since the 15th october patch.

Scepter Guardians ftw.

Thats going to be less than 50% of 10/25/0/10/25’s damage.

..want them fixed? Make sure to leave a comment at https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Fumble-dodges-1
and bump the thread daily at least until a dev responds!

Yes, my 15 minute limit between posts makes dub post from several undefined identities.

Never thought this may happen but... Mace mainhand warrior will be the most efficient way to do this.

Nonono! Sword/Focus shall be Force+Undead due to stronger reflects!
Joking, in a solo you’re probably as good as. Undead on GS benefits in phase 1, force + undead (energy on gs) benefit from reflects. Might aswell just try and see what you’re more comfortable with.

And yeah, sometimes he just enrages in p2/3. You won’t have endurance to double dodge aoe’s (do it like in my vid) and phase 3 is sometimes ridiculous. I’ve seen triple rapidfires within a 10 second window, if such happens you’ll have to position and move (yup) in an other way to make him calm a bit - or to make him stop using aoe’s/rapidfires.

Syn Sity.5826:

Well to be fair, I am not safe when I use mine. Even if they are up preemptively I regularly take 1-2 projectiles each time because they land outside the wall but the aoe hits me.

Yeah, sometimes every single aoe kills you through wall. In 6 out of 7 days i’m just as safe as in feedback, though. Same for p3, some days every single aoe kitten s you through wall, some other days aoe’s won’t even remove aegis.

I’d recommend to let an energy sigil in your gs unless you go for a record, though. Doing this without any requires some play with his AI to be safe. And especially in groups all that matters are your reflects, which won’t be affected by an energy sigil on gs at all.

Pretty safe usually, you are not allowed to move (and everyone else has to stand in it). Also it has to be up before he unleashes the first wave.

Bump.

I am a bearbow in dungeons!

I might do this if i get really bored.

:3
I’ll edit it when i can, my main account seems to be limited to edit a post once in a decade, making posts or even creating topics isn’t possible due to "punishment".

From the first view it seems that a condition solo has more potential. Too bad thieves can’t burn enemies, that would be awesome.

I’m only using the assassin’s set in lupicus solos. Aside from that berserker is the
better choice. And yeah, 10/25/0/10/25 is only for record attemps.

I’m using keybinds since some month btw. Finally figured out my mouse has some more buttons

Yo James.

Now?

Whoops. 10/25/0/10/25, obviously! Thanks for reminding me, if this forum would just let me edit my posts...

Yo James.

Come EU.

Is it allowed to use a ranged weapon as second set? Otherwise i only see that challenge doable with using a safespot or long phases of headless running around.

Nah, sometimes it even just randomly happens. You can see some strong fumbles in my recent guardian solo, too. Luckily the only one that could have killed me was in p1-2 transition.

Well, im a bit ashamed of the time since i already had faster ones (with worse quality) but however, i can present you a 5:18 guardian solo.
Armor has been assassins armor with scholar runes, sigil of force + undead slaying on s/f and sigil of undead slaying on greatsword. 10/25/0/25/10.
Some sucky locust stole my aegis in phase 1 and phase 2 rng was just really bad. Phase 3 made a bit up for that except for that bubble fail which, for whatever reason, i wasn’t able to escape. And my F1 use was just awful.

Has probably been my last attempt on sub 5 on guardian for a good while.

PS: LOL, I can’t create topics on my main account because i’m being punished for my self-reported post.

Yeah, thats what i call a fumble dodge. Looks like interrupting the dodge half way for me.

Also the dodge interrupt that sometimes occurs with weaponswap should be fixed.

Ever thought about doing a condi solo? With 25 stacks of bleed and poison that should go quite fast.
Anyway gj, gonna necro asap.

We usually do our speedruns without voip
1 min of explaining tactics and you’re ready to go, if everyone has basic dungeon understanding and is able to remember what to do.

No response/not solved yet.
Bump.

I have yet to see a good pug run. I’ve seen a few decent players, like eles not dying on arah skips, stacking might and fury and even using LH, Mesmers setting up feedback and timing it with wardens. But a really good pug run? No.

Oh, could have added this earlier. Bladetrail/Banner summon delay whirlwind attack, bladetrail+WA sometimes queues it up, making it unusable until it randomly activates. Usially its just finishing the animation before starting WA, already anoying enough.

Ripostes attack after a block slightly delays it but doesn’t make it a fumble. It’s more like third gs autoattack delaying Whirlwind Attack.

Yeah, good in theory, didn’t really work out in praxis

actually it did, didnt you see dat sxy p3 warden?

Would have had that anyway

Wheres your 4:56 anything solo?

You may have just said that to the wrong person :P oh and very nice sandy i watched it and you capitalized on every situation perfectly, very impressive

My forum account got hacked....I wouldn’t say stuff like that.

My forum signature got hacked... I can’t make it smaller than normal anyway.

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

You don’t need AH either, and yet here we are. Useful utility vs useless utility. You’re there on a guardian to provide utility and damage; and with your build you aren’t optimally doing either.

No, you’re right, I could just leave that last slot empty and not stress out about it too much, but it does help keep me up in some places, the alternatives just don’t appear to be so great, my utility is fine without whatever you think i’m missing imho, at least for fractals 40/50.

I’m not trying to be optimal, the reality is that i’m one of the many people who pug fractals and I can really use the toughness in a full zerk setup, to me it seems like if I was to bump up my damage much more i’d be a bit too squishy for 50’s fractals, i’m getting the most out of crit damage since im between 70-95% crit chance alot of the time.

My build works good for me, you can’t say full zerk full crit damage with rh strength and unscathed defender up most of the time is not excellent single target dps can you? Sure some zeal would bump it up a bit more but again, too squishy.

If I ran with a consistent group that was all on the same page and had a system, I would optimize my damage/group buffs more and duck out of valor probably.

When you are able to keep up aegis there is absolutely no use for AH.
Anyway, all we’ve been saying is that your build has kitten dps. Basically because it has kitten dps. That is an undeniable fact you can’t argue against. Y
On a second note you build is just worse than a real dungeon build in all perspectives. Vigor alone is more survivability than a 5k/second heal. You deliver bad damage and give less support than any normal build. Theres just absolutely no reason to use such trash traits.

It ate a bit much this evening so it grew.

Phase 2 was a bit unlucky, though. Better use warden+curtain before feedback. Saves easily 20 seconds.
Aside from that great solo, unbelievable lucky rng.

Eugene really has to make an updated guide.

It is… pug 100 players; over 80 will be ermegherdimazerhg (including me why not)

I think we’re pugging differently. I did about 5 arah p3 runs with a friend and no one except us had zerker armour.

Must have been painful.

About 40-100% i guess, depending on traits etc. Sometimes ranger runes are just straight away better than scholar, even when assuming 100% uptime. And ranger runes simply always grant the bonus.
