Guild Wars 2

Hmm seems anet have decided to change their stance on selling dungeon slots all of a sudden.

https://twitter.com/GuildWars2/status/380793184047366144

Seems like I’m not going to use this tool… I have a guild for dungeon runs and lfg for selling.
Anyway I would like to know if a “bot” will delete my posts after X players report it or not. If there is a bot I’ll report every GS mes or longbow ranger who join “exp only” groups just for fun

My FotM team never roll for a specific fractal. If we get Vulcanic we do it if we get Dredge we do it.
To be honest I dont like swamp that much so I rather roll that for another one

colesy.8490:

None.

Please don’t range in Dungeons at all.

FIFY

Broadicea.8294:

What sort of ping do most folks get, out of curiousity? Normally I sit around 80-110, but sometimes for no apparently reason I can easily ride at 200-250, which really bones me.

You can check using the /ip command in-game, then launching Resource Monitor if you’re on Windows 7 and look at latency for that connection in the TCP Connections area.

I would love to see those numbers :>
normally I have around 800

number of runs per path would be great

Broadicea.8294:

Thief

25/30/0/0/15 (I think?)

30-30-10-0-0 if the fight takes longer than 10s
25-30-0-0-15 if the fight takes max 10s

btw: why no 10-25-0-25-10 build as guard?

laharl.8435:

Last night, pugging some Arah. Pugs stack range, I run in melee as usual. Misdodged the very first kick, there I was down at Lupi’s feet looking like an idiot.

I know that feeling… its such a pain

If there will be a bot behind who delet my posts for a while I’ll start to report all “exp or kick” groups for ranging lupicus

I currently download the patch with about 50kbit/s so it takes a while
Better question: do you get banned if you want to sell spots there or do we still have to use gw2lfg? If we dont use any afk spots or glitches it should be allowed. Can anyone tell me?

Charrrrrr x3
nice one sir.. first solo with racial skills

TheMaskedParadigm.3629:

The only class I’ve had trouble making the spider run on is Mesmer, but then I learned how to do it.

Be proud and make a picture “I survived the spiders with mesmer”

Thank you Normally my poor thief has to run behind lupicus with his dualdagger without swiftness while he’s crying “pls lupicus… pls kill them very fast”
(if they don’t kick me in p1 with the words “lol you can’t melee him, nub /kick”)

I’ll try this method in our next guild run

Pls train me how to kill lupi at max range, he always gets mad when I run away with my pony shortbow thief QQ
Maybe those elitist pugs won’t kick me anymore when I want to melee him but that’s the only way for me to survive

Do you really think this is balance??
I would be the best tank in the whole game since my backstab hits for 20k+ it’s a full heal every 2-3 seconds

You would have less access to stealth though, due to not having the stealth heal.

You would also have little to know defense, and your relying completely on that and damage to survive.

You could also miss it, and be fraked.

I only play PvE so the chance to miss an attack is zero, I have access to stealth every 5 seconds with CnD and my defense is just dodging with 30-30-10-0-0.
Think about it

Zacchary.6183:

Assassin’s Signet: Decent Power boost. Active is better if specced for damage which isn’t always the case. In low power builds, the passive provide more of a benefit than the active. 180 points can make a difference in damage capabilities as well as a 15% bonus. However, you lose the bonus power upon using the signet and you only have 5 attacks before that 15% is gone. Assassin’s signet is best used on zerker builds.

> I propose that the signet active grants 5 Might and Fury for 20s instead of the 15% bonus. Not everyone wants to wear zerker.

You want to ruin my 30k Backstabs don’t you?
Let this signet like it is

I can see 25-30-5-0-10 builds in PvE
would be strong, maybe too strong but I love the idea

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

I use a Wraith tonic and stand at the outside of the room, and hope my team thinks I’m an enemy trash mob and ignores me. I never have problems with the bubbles.

That’s why I wasn’t able to kill those OP trashmobs… I should turn on friendly fire next time

25-30-0-0-15 is really bad in higher fractals because you cant burst down bosses as well. 25-30-0-0-15 has a really good burst but bad sustain dmg and you’ll need sustain dmg for certain bosses.

I suggest to run 30-30-10-0-0 it deals MUCH more dmg than 25-30-0-0-15 if the fight takes longer than 10s

With 25-30-0-0-15 you’ll run out of initiative soon… you get 5% more dmg but you’ll lose 10% from initiative > 6 or more AA and less Backstab

Broadicea.8294:

I get kicked all the time for saying really mean things like “no, ogre runes are not more DPS than scholar’s or rubies”

So I’m not the only one…
I got kicked 3 times at lupi in a “EXP ONLY OR KICK” group after they sad “lol, nub you cant melee him”

Kirschwasser.3972:

Am I the only person that gets Mexican Cookie and TheMaskedParadigm confused with one another when they’re reading?

No you aren’t^^

Anubarak.3012:

I think it would be better when they just fix the reflection of this skill.. Still doesnt work well

what do you mean it doesn’t work well?

It doesn’t reflect everything if you move and it doesn’t reflect every attack..
Vulcanic: You can reflect some attacks from those elementals but not all
Arah p2 Alphard: she just knocks you down and ignores your stability

I think it would be better when they just fix the reflection of this skill.. Still doesnt work well

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

The majority of threads were jokes.

No! This tree is OP, he kicked me out of the map yesterday xDD
I was like “wooooot oO???” after I flew through the ground into water under the map

Dub.1273:

Bismuth.3165:

I think if you’re good, you can solo p2 in 1 hour.
and I’ve pugged arah more than 60 times now and was never kicked from a group just so they can sell my spot

Yeah the problem is that all those sellers exploit every boss and skip lupicus.
I even doubt they could kill abomination legit way. When i joined one once he was even safespotting brie. The day lupicus becomes unskippable and you can’t safespot bosses anymore will be the death for all but one arah seller.

/ingame bug report about skipping lupicus, everyone please.

ahhh now I know why you wanted us to report this xD
I wondered where all those good players come from

Yeah he is…. he is….. he is playing against the old version xD

TheMaskedParadigm.3629:

The idea of my (Not Eugene’s) Ranger builds and various videos were to demonstrate that Ranger has potential as a class, because a lot of people didn’t and still don’t think that Ranger has any potential to be good. I’m sure there are people running around on Ranger that don’t even have Sword abilities unlocked, and the whole idea was to show people what they were missing out on, etc.

Yeah I know your intention and you have my respect for that^^
Other players just missunderstand such things (I pug tooooo often ~.~) they claim they are great and I’m in bad mood

Toooooo easy… Let him spawn spider queens from ac

colesy.8490:

Awesome. It’ll be good to finally have the entire meta solved. Sure, it’ll take the pugs months to catch up but at least the information will be there for groups wanting to maximise their efficiency.

To be honest: who cares what DnT say? ( -> related to pugs) This is NO attack or anything else against this guild but it is like it is…. Sure DnT is an elite guild but just because they have some good ranger it doesn’t mean that I’ll run with this profession.

I noticed it in our german forum: “DnT sad >rangers are good – don’t hate them< so I’m AWESOME with my brownbear-Longbow-Ranger”
A good player will always be good with any profession. A better team will always deal more dmg than a worse team but you shouldn’t forget in arah or ta you run 90% of your time. Even when you are able to kill stuff 20% faster you’ll lose your time while running^^

edit: 90% of the players are just following the war-mes meta but have no plan how to play their profession…. warriors are good: yeah my sword-axt condition is a must have… rangers are good: same thing. Nothing will change

not solo

Holy Socks.3195:

Because i’d rather kill myself than run Arah with pugs.

so run it alone^^
path 2 is possible with every profession, path 3 only with mes and thief

I was lonely and bored and because of all the peer pressure here I thought I should create a new topic… I apologise if there already exist one but I didn’t find it
TA F/U sucks, we tried everything but those spiders killed us again and again. Even with our magic find gear and one brownbear-longbow-ranger we were not able to defeat him.

Nerf pls!

colesy.8490:

Nikaido.3457:

kishter.9578:

full PVT

Here’s your problem.

PLAY HOW YOU WANT

brb, whacking my head against a brick

you mean die like you want, don’t you?
PVT is kitten… I would never be able to kill him if everyone is wearing PVT

little hint: use reflects^^

The Baws.5164:

Yeah I quite strongly dislike condition builds.

That build which my Mom linked seems pretty awesome actually.

Are there any YouTubers who have good builds/quite famed good Thief players? I tend to like builds from them.

We just had no ranger… aaaand if you mean our run yesterday: we didn’t ragequit the opener just changed his char

Kiro.3164:

NemoVonUtopia.4183:

I am also looking for a build for fractals and dungeon. I’ve been using 30/0/0/20/20 that I threw together while leveling but I don’t know if its good.

You could go full Condi if you get the gear, trinks, and sigils that apply bleeds on crit. But it would be a 0/30/0/20/20

No no no pls no….. no condition build for arah or fotm!
Try 30-30-10-0-0 or 25-30-10-0-5 or 25-30-0-0-15

Inevitable.8920:

Anubarak.3012:

In organiced groups with perfect players
Ele, Guard, Thief, Ranger, Warrior, Ingineer, Necro, Mesmer

Wrong. Its Theif Warrior Ranger Ele Guard

Maybe we are playing different games? But in gw2 ele deal more dmg than ranger, warrior or thief

kk I noticed it^^ sry – you are right

I had no time to fight her so pls forgive me this question: is she only vulnerable to conditions or why did you use the worst weapon set in PvE with a trash build?
I’ll try my luck with 30-30-10-0-0 (or 25-30-0-15-0 if I die to often) and dagger/dagger

Dub.1273:

Path 4 Arah is 1g.

This is a joke isn’t it?
LoL @arah p3 xD
Anyway I hope I can make much money with you :-D

Dub.1273:

If the entire party stands inside WoR noone will get damage and as many projectiles will be reflected as with feedback. I always use WoR to reflect the p2 aoe when solo’ing, works just fine.

I believe you almost always but since I have no guard I can’t check this by myself. Normally I die inside WoR… Can we test it tomorrow?

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

There are exceptions where you’ll design a tactic based on the Mesmer.

1. Giganticus Lupicus
2. Giganticus Lupicus
3. ….
4. GL

Image WoR would work against p2 AoE… bye bye mesmer

There is no ingame tool but you can search your group with gw2lfg.com (or .net) look at this click

edit: if you have a guild you can search in your guild channel too :P

Arah p2 and p3 = 30 min (I expect 3g)
CoE p1/2 = 20 min (I expect 2g)
CoF p1 = 6 min (I expect 1g)
so that means 11g per day

In organiced groups with perfect players
Ele, Guard, Thief, Ranger, Warrior, Ingineer, Necro, Mesmer

if u are not able to beat him melee then you should try to outrange him

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

And if you have several ranged classes in your team.

There are no ranged classes in gw2!
Everyone should go ahead and melee mobs!
If you range mobs while the rest of your team melee you are just a waste. I would rather die melee than surviving in range

I know one of DS who has a ranger :P

well then replace the thief with a ranger… Anyway I expect at least 18k crits from LH

May I guess? 2 ele, 1 thief, 1 guardian 1 warrior?
