I will never get the fascination with charcoal sylvari, or burnt twigs as I tend to call them if I’m in a slightly meaner mood.
For me a plant has to be colourful, vibrant. Otherwise its a dead plant.

And before someone piles in with “but it’s a necromancer”. Well commonly the necromancer herself isnt dead/undead, just a practitioner of magic involving the dead/undead. There are cases where they count among the undead themselves, but at least not in guild wars, as far as I know. (Could be wrong about that, admittedly.)

Edit: To clarify: I’m not saying that the designs don’t look nice or interesting. But they just rub me the wrong way.

/sigh
There, fashion amateur, this is how you make a badkitty sylvari with a bark skin.
Also, about “plants should be colourful” my cactus says hi. It will rip you apart if you dare say it’s not awesome (it inspired the look of my sylvari).
Metalhead cactus op!

i think thats the most intimidating sylvari Ive ever seen

Ok, not sure if this problem affects anyone else but i find it a minor problem.
I’m doing dungeons for the completion achievements, leading up to the dungeon master title.
I try run each path only once as i have no interest in any of the dungeon gear and i’ve already reached the power plateau.
Now i dont do the dungeons or paths in any particular order, i just join any guild groups/pugs or make my own as i go along. I’ve done all the dungeons at least one path and about 4 of them are completed on all paths, but the others.
I have no idea which paths are completed and which aren’kittens making it awkward to finish my achievement.
I coulda sworn that i had finished CM but it says 3/4 and some others are the same.
has anyone else come across this problem and would like the dungeons tracked in the achievement tab?

walk up to CM if you can enter explorable by yourself then idk
if you cant then you need story

deSade.9437:

I don’t think it would be a nice idea, because it’d mean a no full-cleave main weapon. I don’t like it. I’d rather have a dagger main as the “evasive” (pffttt) weapon and sword as superior melee, cleaving damage.
OR JUST BUFF THE kitten GS ALREADY!!!! And remove the evades, RAMPING UP the damage and vuln highhhh in the sky.
/sob
But this will not happen…. only in my dreams…
/hugs pillow

Whats wrong with Dagger>sword, thats how it is on thief
dagger for single target
sword for trash mobs

Jerus.4350:

hmm, my bad I guess, I always assumed it was the same reason we couldn’t jump and then dodge (you can jump & dodge but not dodge after you jump), All the thing discussed also put you in the air so that’s why I assumed it was the issue. Can you dodge out of burning retreat/ele fire dagger 3, those are the only movement abilities I can think of that don’t put you in the air or aren’t instant (flashing blades/JI are instant).

Either way though, I think anyone in PVE would agree with the change, but I’ve seen quite a bit of opposition from PVP players when it’s been suggested in the ranger forums. It’d be nice if they addressed it some way though, plenty of possible options. I liked the idea someone proposed of a dagger mainhand for ranger as their highest damage melee weapon without the technical limitations sword has.

seeing a class with double daggers switch to a greatsword in combat would be cool

Can someone show me some builds for each profession that are geared towards WvW?

All adds in arah have been replaced with champion grubs

make them champion ozzes that apply a kittenton of vuln

What I wrote about Lupi hard mode earlier:

You find 4 sub 1k AP pugs (not some rT or SC player on their alts). Your group should be made up like so:
1. Bearbow Ranger
2. Staff Guardian
3. Rifle Warrior
4. Yourself
5. Staff Necro
Equip them all with Nomad’s armor and full defensive traits. Tell them to range it. The whole time.

5 condi staff mesmers rangeing

id love this
itd make good farming and make use of my thief’s 100% cursed shore

I say no.
Nobody(who actually did these long enough) wants dungeon runs to be harder or longer.
They’re already a chore. It’s been 2 years – new content should be added.

People only do these dungeons for rewards mostly anyway – if you make them so hard that they’re not worth it people will just move on and farm somewhere else.

This actually happened in the game before the dungeon rewards were buffed to 1+ gold per path.

Up the difficulty and that 1 gold won’t be worth the time it takes to farm it.

You have to realize that the dungeon community is comprised of a majority that does them for the rewards and cares very little if at all for the “dungeon experience” and a minority that wants the dungeons to be changed.

Changing them won’t necessarily be bad – but I’m willing to bet you money the majority of players ( myself included) are going to move on and not touch them.

agreed

now everyone will roll norns and use bear form rush

if FGS gets nerfed hard that is

saalle.4623:

Why u need Karma? Thats kinda useless.

you need about 1 mil karma for a legendary

the last time i thought about this was when plinx farm was a thing, whats the best way to get karma now?

This guy knows his kitten
All i have to say is for anyone who finds arah intimidateing
I have had CoF Path 1 runs go worse than any of the arah paths with this tour
on top of making runs easy and educational hes pretty cool to talk to aswell

id like to go if im up that early,
Also would a Staff Ele in melee range be acceptable?

www.gw2dungeons.net
Different videos on youtube etc.
IvanTheGrey who will surely post in this thread once he sees it and if you’re on NA.

I am on NA

Id like to start including arah into my list of dungeons to do on a daily bases

but from what i remember all the pugs ive went with got our kitten handed to use, allthough we eventually beat the path it took us too long

so does anyone know of/have a guide to the arah paths?

1.dungeons are pretty much open an instance with themed enemies, i still enjoy them
2.before you can excpect those interesting mobs to be in dungeons they need to be all over the open world
3.the second paragraph, i havent seen that in any mmo, have you seen it, if so which one?
4.Even the legendary Weapon is just a skin, this game isnt the same kinda game as diablo, also 1 run through all 3 paths of a dungeon can get you an exotic helm, gloves, or boots
5. the 99 floor dungeon thing, though dont get me wrong would be cool, but i see that as a dungeon crawler thing not an mmo thing

oxtred.7658:

Selling is another story because some people spend their life whiteknighting ( new verb right here) the lfg and looking for us the filthy exploiters (berserker exploit, reading exploit, reflects exploit, dodge exploit, being good at the game exploit, melee exploit, etc )to report. Then when it’s 3 am they’ll secretely buy a run because they can’t do arah and playing the game is an exploit.

this just made my day,

and OP you said you were duoing the dungeon, couldnt you and your buddy just kick them as soon as they join?

thanks, all of you

ok yea the forum censors it automatically, ty to both of you

kitten lets see if the forum does it

can somebody give me a rundown of what this means
i see it used on this forum alot
i can understand what each sentence is generally trying to say

Purple Miku.7032:

I suggest these utilities for skill points:

-Signet of Fire
-Signet of Air
-Arcane Wave
-Arcane Shield
-Conjure Lightning Hammer
-Conjure Ice Bow
-Conjure Firey Greatsword

Those are the most useful utilities overall for PvE. There’s a lot of other ones that are good too but they’re much more niche.

Make sure you also get the Arcane Brilliance + Glyph heals!

lightning flash is nice aswell(i think thats the name)

Edana looks good, but would celestial dye somewhere in there be good for the look your goin for?

What are the pros and cons of
Scepter/Dagger
Scepter/Focus
Dagger/Dagger
Dagger/Focus
in a Dungeon Setting

dlonie.6547:

Was anyone else disappointed to learn that increasing MF just meant you can just get more blues/green, which you salvage for MF, which gets you more blues/greens, which you salvage for MF….

The main rewards for dungeons are the gold. You can get good drops, but aside from a few extremely rare dungeon/boss-specific recipes/gear, the drops happen at about the same rate as wandering around in open world.

reasons i go dungeoning
1.gold reward at the end
2. possibly rare/exotic drops
3. free Lvl 80 armor
4. buy armor with tokens and salvage for ectos
^good enough for me

Js if you had the ability to make that kind of Ai you could make the best action/ actio rpgs in existence

was mainly reffering to the part that started, If it were up to me

Vinceman.4572:

—
You can’t do that, your majesty. That would be….challenging too hard for PUGs…

And those changes would only make it “normal”. I got more wild ideas to make it actually hard.

If it was up to me I would normalize base stats, remove passive crap, make AI more punishing, make boons and combos more important, improve condition damage and expand skill sets for enemies.

so you would make the game the hardest mmo in existence?

dont play much mesmer, but your 2 skill on MH sword makes you avoid all damage, so you could save that for the electric attack

i could dig buying tomes with skill points

since I run a ton of dungeons on my lvl 80’s id be perfectly ok with this

If there are any active, friendly guilds, who either talk in guild chat alot or who talk in a voice chat program, and who like Pve(Though eventually I wil probably try my hand at pvp and wvw) please LMK.
looking forward to any replies
