Guild Wars 2

Keybinds don’t matter, just dub-ble click your skills.

Wtf, my AC weapons didn’t glow back when i was still playing charr.
And i mean what i said, some parts of SE are daytime. There’s also snow landscape and water ~5000 distance under the ground. Dredge technology ftw.

TA isn’t night and SE has day parts.

EU servers are kind of located in texas too… you just send information to servers in francfurt that send it to texas, in gw1 you sent information to texas directly.

Measuring my ping to their servers in fractfurt gave me the result of 14ms…
To gw1 American servers directly gave me 150ms.
To gw2 Texas servers 850ms. Great.

12g is so much. About 1/3 of what anyone can earn in am hour of mindless play.

The amount off kittened builds being thrown around in here is insane.

Ew, you’re right. I was assuming it would behave same for mesmer as for warrior. Apparently doesn’t, berserker armor + 100 prec food is only going to be better in high might stack situations. Interesting how 9 power can be quite a bit better than 0 precision.

“Support Build”?
The best supporting builds are those that allow you to stay alive and maximize your damage output.
0/0/10/30/30 ele sucks as supporting, 30/30/0/10/0 doesn’t.

durend.6237:

Anyway, at what point do you judge crit chance to be high enough? For instance, would it be worth it to use a 56% crit chance and stack bloodlust? My dislike of random chance makes me like that number even less, but I’ll accept you’ve probably done testing then I have.

I’ve been doing the maths. Precision usually becomes better than power when you already have 3200-3500 power. Since that never happens unless you’re a warrior, an ele or running some strange build (necro DS/HGH engi) addi.g power is almost always the best choice. Exceptions are made at reflects, power has no effect on those.

A LH dps ele supports much more than a cleric staff water ele.
Berserker does support even more than anything else.

The rewards do not make sense right now. Even Arah money rewards are just stupid. Considering the time spent as a factor for rewards, when path 1 and 2 are both 3g, path 3 must be about 2.5g and path 4 at least 6-7g. That braindead grenth event alone is worth 3g. And melandru alone should be rewarded with 10g.

Being good covers so much more than just being able to dodge.
I’ll take a duo arah path 2 run of a mesmer and a warrior.
What the mesmer has to take care of:
-not get into combat anytime before reaching belka
-using warden on one of the two defilers at the end of the tunnel

I want to be that good.

Fixed version:
-not getting into combat anytime on the deadeye/berserker group before reaching belka
Yeah, warden pretty much puts you into combat. Also the previos poison clouds sometimes hit you when you’re out of them.

@Sandy: Yes, i’m using this for our trial runs, making a video of it and doing a check point by point. Noone has to match all this, though. That would be a player better than anyone else i know
Nevertheless, in a good duo run (<20 min) most of these things must be matched. We both do not think of all of these but of a majority. And by the way, i didn’t make this list out of nothing. Those are all things i’ve been using in duo speedruns. And i’m sure that if you try to participate in such, you would suceed. Most of the criteria i listed are really easy to match.

Also Binding Blade (and considering dodging also leap of faith).

Being good covers so much more than just being able to dodge.
I’ll take a duo arah path 2 run of a mesmer and a warrior.
What the mesmer has to take care of:
-Null Field after getting stacks from spiders.
-time curtain to have it recharged at third defiler group aswell as having perma swiftness together with warriors warhorn
-not get into combat anytime before reaching belka
-proper use of staff 2 to increase movement
-using warden on one of the two defilers at the end of the tunnel
-using curtain to pull back deadeye
-timing reflects at belka so you don’t reflect while sha has shield up
-timing clones to bodyguard both players
-watching her shield timing to use feedback when she teleports
-switching to signet of inspiration instead of nullfield
-using chaos storm before spider tunnel, waiting for protection and use signet of inspiration
-teleport to wp, not getting into combat
-not getting into combat while skipling to abomination
-proper use of phase retreat
-proper timing of curtain
-reaching abomination making sure to aggro abomination and inquest, pulling inquest with curtain while not effecting the abomination
-interrupting abominations first enrage
-get off abominations defiant as quick as possible
-proper use of sword 4, 5, warden and signet of inspiration (right after fgj/might blasts if using an ember
-once abomination is dead don’t get into combat, don’t dodge
-aggro hunter with chaos storm while warrior gets closer trash
-phase retreat + invuln shatter to get into los spot quick
-timing reflects, signet etc.
-warden on first turret (if there is one) feedback on second/last one
-unless the last one is right at the end keep curtain recharged for abominations
-proper use of curtain, interrupts and sword 2
-at lupi: timing phantasms and blocks
-move in a way that gets locusts to the warrior, not touching him
-take the grub in phase 1-2 transition
-warden + curtain for first p2 aoe with 2 clones in warden/curtain, curtain must have a placement kind of creating a triangle with warden
-feedback and warden for second p2 aoe
-proper positioning in phase 3, standing in rapidfire range with warden/curtain up or feedback ready
-standing so close that he doesn’t rapidfire else
-don’t cause bubbles/unintended movement
-timing skills at usual
-wait until warrior gets the alphard wp
-teleport, timing curtain and warhorn 4 from warrior so he doesn’t need stability on inquests
-proper positioning and skill use at alphard
-mantra of stability instead of feedback for the skip
-skipping together (swiftness) with the warrior, not getting into combat
-interrupting brie’s beam when warrior is 100b’ing
-curtain, feedback and warden against projectiles
-signet in right situations

Just a small summary of things to take care of. The list for the warrior is pretty much as big. Missing a few of those extra things instead of just duo basics (as just being able to duo) makes you an above average player. Missing most of them makes you “average”. Missing none makes you a pretty good player. Excelling at tlall those makes you impressive.

Well, all those cathegories can be summed up under “not good” to me.

Oh, what did i do

Dub.1273:

colesy.8490:

Guardian 1h sword autoattack can go something like 6k-6k-15k which is around 11k DPS.

Warrior axe will go something like 5k-5k-5k-5k-5k-10k which is less DPS than guard since axe auto chain is 3.6s versus the 2.5s of sword chain, plus the damage is backloaded so if you don’t get that final swing your DPS drops further.

More like 7.8k 7.8k 15k, resulting in 12.24k dps.
Warrior 6.2k 6.4k 6.4k 6k 6k 13k, resulting in 12.22k dps.
This would be more realistic in a situation with same buffs. Unscathed Contender not being met. Adding Unscathed Contender’s 20% damage gets guardian dps to 14.688k with only sword auto chain. Considering optimal rotations for both, guardian and warrior and a huge sized target, guardian dps would go to ~17.6k dps whereas warrior dps would go to ~14.0k dps.

If you can’t keep up unscathed contender its 14.68k (guardian) vs 14.02k (warrior) in optimal rotations. I was considering a guardian rotation resulting in a 20% dps increase and a warrior rotation as 15% dps increase.

Zalculator answers it all.

You hate feeling like you’re the most useful person in the group? That’s the most backwards thing I’ve ever heard; imagine if everyone thought that way? Literally no one would pull their weight due to not wanting to be the only person pulling their weight, in contrast to everyone just pulling their weight in the first place, and then there will be no dead weight to carry.

Or maybe that’s too logical…

No no, he hates how other people aren’t contributing as much as he is.

This is the classic elitist mentality that we have seen in the zerker and MF discussions.

This is Dub. He got banned from the forums for having the classic elitist mentality that we have seen in the zerker and MF discussions.

It is me, i got banned for asking you how late it was in NZ.

I turned Modbot into BHBot by spamming the “human moderator” out of it.
So yes, that rewarded me with some bans which are adding up quickly.

There is only you.

Repeat after us.

Learn to evade, her melee attack doesn’t have a very large tell but it’s enough. If you have condition remove tank the immobilize, otherwise evade behind the queen without leaving melee range.

They do not stack, tested this while doing old lupicus speedclears.

Proof is ingame and nowhere else. A fully buffed guardian does more damage than a fully buffed warrior, even without having aegis up.

Yes.

This thread makes a little bit inside me commit suicide.

Oh kitten, banned for another day!

Your post in Last of the dragon knights [LDK] was infracted by a moderator:

Finally got something similar on tape (not that i actually enjoyed it).

Ladygwen.8152 and VonSaturn.6203, make sure to report them for scamming until they get banned out of the game

Oh @ ModBot, i’m fully aware that name calling isn’t allowed, my post will be infracted and deleted and you won’t do anything about those two morons. Luckily enough, i have the power to repost this as often as i want since no human gw2 dev will ever see this, which is the reason i mostlikely won’t get a forum ban.

There are enough people around who can solo lupicus, so that shouldn’t be a problem. If anyone struggles at Simin (EU) he can contact Dub.
