Guild Wars 2

Most projectiles when fired without a target will fire in the center of your screen, so if you look directly up and fire Spectral Grasp you fire it into space or at a giant holographic dragon.

mons.1386:

But you made a big mistake since it seems that your barbed precision bleeds last 7s —> barbed precision applies a 1s bleed with a 60 % chance to proc

I did indeed have a kitten moment. When i was going by Barbed Precision bleed damage i did the amount of Procs * 677 bleed damage (forgetting the 677 was scepter 1 and 6.5 seconds) although Barbed Precision is 66% chance and not 60%.

At 1 second doing 113 damage (0.05 * Condition Damage + 42.5) the damage would be:

Carrion amulet
82 non-critical hits doing 16,400 damage
18 critical hits doing 6,480 damage
100 bleed hits doing 67,700 damage
11.88 barbed precision doing 1,342.44 damage

Total damage: 91,922.44
Average damage: 919

Rabid amulet
51 non-critical hits doing 6,018 damage
49 critical hits doing 10,407.6 damage
100 bleed hits doing 67,700 damage
32.34 barbed precision doing 3,654.42 damage

Total damage: 87,780.02
Average damage: 878

Thanks for pointing that out mons

Geomancy vs. Earth is a completely different debate though. I failed to find the discussion thread but i think Geomancy was the better and popular choice.

This would be my recommendation for a bare minimum layout when building into ZvZ wells.

• If you have a critical chance higher then 40%, take Vampiric Precision over Bloodthirst.
• If you have a Necro heavy team choose Well of Suffering, if not choose Well of Darkness.

Kind of makes me wish i still did roaming rather then GvG/ ZvZ.

There’s nothing more satisfying then insta-fearing a Thief as hes channeling his stealth heal.

Your right in saying Toughness would affect DS-HP too, taken into account it would mean both give close to identical E-HP. It would be hard to confirm/ reject until we have a new solid formula for DS-HP.

Taking into account Barbed Precision under a standard TPvP build the damage over 100 attacks (including condition damage this time) would be:

Carrion amulet
82 non-critical hits doing 16,400 damage
18 critical hits doing 6,480 damage
100 bleed hits doing 67,700 damage
11.88 barbed precision doing 8,042.76 damage

Total damage: 98,622.76
Average damage: 986

Rabid amulet
51 non-critical hits doing 6,018 damage
49 critical hits doing 10,407.6 damage
100 bleed hits doing 67,700 damage
32.34 barbed precision doing 21,894.18 damage

Total damage: 106019.78
Average damage: 1060

To sum up, Rabid would actually out-damage Carrion’s Scepter 1 by 7.5% through Barbed Precision assuming every proc lasted the full 1 second plus the additional 13,851.42 bleed damage dealt by Barbed Precision would not be reduced by enemy armour were as the 6454.4 direct damage from carrion’s power would be subject to armour reduction.

Note: This comparison in damage is only on the Scepter 1

Vitality vs. Toughness

Both give exactly the same effective health (24,812) with Carrion giving the additional 13,895 ds-health.

(assuming the [ds-health = (health * 1.20) * 1.30] formula is still correct (the 0.30 being 30% from Soul Reaping)
____________________________________________________________________

Power vs. Precision

644 Power adds 69.5% (118 > 200 tool-tip) damage onto Scepter 1.
Non-critical damage: 200
Critical damage: 360
Critical chance: 18%
Averaged Damage: 225

644 Precision adds 31% critical chance.
Non-critical damage: 118
Critical damage: 212
Critical chance: 49%
Averaged Damage: 164

Average damage worked out using 180% critical damage (150% base + 30% from Soul Reaping) over 100 hits.
____________________________________________________________________

Misc

644 Toughness from the Rabid amulet will give 32 condition damage extra with Superior runes of the Undead which is +1 bleed damage per tick.

Score update.

Evalana.5480:

But I’m a Necromancer – I can handle all that ♥

You maybe a Necromancer, but…

Evalana.5480:

Oh, wait Ascii isn’t coming?? That’s a dealbreaker – He gives the best hugs

I do? o_O

My hugs usually end up blinding, chilling, crippling, weakening and poisoning people.

Tobias Steele.2071:

Please tell me thats a joke? How… insulting. None of the three servers wanted this match up but we go out there every day giving 100% of our energy and effort and try and make the best of it, and you bail to jq for a more even match?

Sos deserves more respect than that, Tc deserves more respect than that, but most of all your allies from sor deserve better. Being part of a team means fighting through the good times and bad, they have your back and you have theirs. Guess that aint the case on Sor.

I think the fact that most of the SoS & TC guilds TW encountered during reset & Saturday would hop borderlands to avoid fighting them was a driving factor to TW wanting to hop for fights.

TW is a 99.9% WvW only focused guild (the 0.1% being Indo in Arah) so when the typical 30-40 TW cant all get into EB (the only map that has action) for guild WvW events it naturally deprives them of fights.

PAGamer.4072:

Thanks for the big welcome, Sanctum of Rall! So excited to be fighting the greatest server in the whole world!

Quoted for truth.

Kryyg.8576:

Everyone was freaking out and pretty excited when they saw TW zone in, but then we found out they aren’t staying. We will keep trying to convert them though.

You’ll have more luck getting TW to transfer to BG temp then stay JQ perm. :P

Seen as there’s been no official statement yet about TW moving to JQ ill quickly clarify for everyone;

Due to the current state of the WvW matchup TW has temporary transferred to JQ server to get some WvW fights and will be transferring back as soon as SoR is matched up with JQ or BG. Stealing JQ’s glory and annoying BG was part of the logic behind the choice.

I’m sure normal tasks preformed by TW such as the server meetings will still happen, the only difference is the lack of Indo sitting on the map akitten for 6 hours being rezzed consistently so he can be killed again.

Only the kill deprived TW who could afford the transfer fees both ways transferred (around 30). I, your siege master Ascii, remain on SoR.

Evalana.5480:

I WAS going to make just you a sandwich – but that would be rude, so I made everyone else one too. Don’t hate ♥

I have candy anyway, i have no use for your second rate sammiches…

Enemy double picture! stop messing.

Evalana.5480:

Mayo or Mustard? ♥

Whatever that stuff that comes out JQ invaders when they die.

Evalana.5480:

Waaait did you say EVERY keep?!

Evalana.5480:

In the kitchen, making you a sammich?

And a tasty sammich at that.

Hope BG is having more fun then we are, almost fully way-pointed every keep.

Paxi.1386:

Which actually when you look at the rankings, BG is the number 1.

Predicted rankings =/= offical rankings so don’t even try to kid yourself BG is 1st. Blackgate needs to remember were they belong.

GW2 rendition of Indo Xx.

New record, only 20 mins into the matchup before SoR TS3 got DDoSed!

Live Score: http://mos.millenium.org/na
Live Map: http://mos.millenium.org/na/matchups/map/746

Have fun and keep the thread clean!

RALLIANS, PREPARE FOR GLORY!… (to be stolen).

JQ will need to hold an average of 115 or more PPT over BG from now till reset to overtake BG for 2nd place.

The more you know!

salluks.6017:

double teaming so desperately, lol

hills on JQ bl – BG holding south stopping us from getting in, and jq constantly golem rushing from north.

been happening for the past 1 hr.

It takes two to tango with the might of SoR.

morastarna.6294:

We even said we would trade all of our points for that one whine post.

And this is why you no longer belong in T1 or competitive WvW.

Score update i highly recommend “Beastgate” throws this matchup so there Deviation isn’t high enough to be RNG’d with SoR in the future. :P

pot.6805:

This is how SoR zergs run away from even numbers.

INB4 “Tactical maneuver”

‘And there running’ is like a catchphrase in TS3 over here on SoR. Here’s a couple “fights” i recorded within the last hour. I think you can tell from the disappointment in the voices that this has been happening all day.

INB4 “Tactical maneuver”

Score update SoR so pro, we have leet scoring.

Score update here’s looking at you Blackgate!

Voicer.8239:

Never said BG dont megazerg bro, we just dont run when outnumbered. This pic proves only that you gotta run faster, or we’ll get ya! xD

LOL. Its official and you heard it here first, BG never runs from fights.

Voicer.8239:

Im not sure what the new sistem will bring us

I too am interested in this new sistem.

MagiKarp.8201:

DOUBLE KEEP FLIP

Gj GoF and MERC!

Good job! credit due, must be hard coordinating your server to constantly jump BL’s to avoid fighting TW & GSCH :P

Score update from inside BG garrison… still!

Yes you can change the sigil and it will not affect its legendary status or prevent you from MFing it.

Just don’t transmute it.

I’ve given up being angry at minion AI.

Vampiric, Vampiric Precision, Vampiric Rituals & Vampiric Master needs to scale with Healing Power and i find it unbelievable that they don’t. Right now HP serves no use at all beyond all-class abilities (Utility 6 & Regeneration). Death to Life serves no purpose beyond all-classes too.

They need to scaling up-to x1.0 of there current untraited versions with 1,500 HP being a “max” example.

Vampiric = 25 + (HP * 0.0175)
Vampiric Precision =31 + (HP * 0.02)
Vampiric Rituals = 10 + (HP * 0.0075)
Vampiric Master = 79 + (HP * 0.02)

And obviously final amounts x1.5 if traited for Bloodthirst.

Death to Life and Blood Magic HP and HP in general need to have some use beyond all-class abilities for Necromancers.

Any Vampiric build right now is so static that the amount you heal can be predicted and outplayed by enemies.

uberkingkong.8041:

I just received word that EMP left JQ to DB is that so when SoR knocks BG out of T1 JQ will have ties with DB via EMP so they can take out the behemoth SoR. They decided to goto DB once they heard words of talk between SoR and the IRON BEHEMOTH from EU and that this is the only way to stop the BEHEMOTH SoR brought to the NA. I’m very excited and cannot wait for DB to take BG spot because we need to take the behemoth out and teach him his place and that NA is no place for a EU BEHEMOTH. Its great timing as well because the living story should be over and done with so our numbers will be fierce and mighty SoR will be nothing but an insect compared to us with this great timing.

One thing you forgot, as of next weeks matchup “Tiers” will no longer exist as match-ups will be based mainly of a servers Deviation + RNG and match-ups will become randomized.

It was a nice dream though, looks like DB’s only hope to play with the Sanctum of Behemoth’s is down to pure luck and not tier progressing.

I have no firewall running at all (as I’m confident in my online usage) and nothing has changed in my home network that would explain why this has only just began happening.

I’ve already tried a complete reset of my entire network (releasing IP’s of my computer, removing and disconnecting any IP/ sessions on my account and fully resetting my network).

Times are random, no pattern. I’ve mainly been dcing in WvW (but i wvw 95% of my online time) however its happened inside cof, outside in fireheart rise and acouple times in LA too.

Its not my internet connection because everything else (skype & teamspeak3) remain going and online and i also instantly open up a browser apon dcing.

Would be nice to get some kind of response as to how i can fix this before tonight’s World vs. World reset, as an SoR commander i kind of need to not disconnect and this problem has only ever occurred this once to me.

Score update (for when the new rating system goes live).

Score update.

All your PPT are belonging to us (JQ garrison too).

“Is Kaineng better than Jade Quarry? Before we never knew, but soon they might get a chance to prove it.” – Jordan Massey

ArenaNet need to update there guild gossip! Kaineng is on Blackgate now, and Blackgate aren’t 1st place!

I like the new system, basically logical RNG. What i think ill like the most is not knowing who were fighting or what colour we will be until the match-ups have reset and you’ve entered WvW!

And the error message/ code when i disconnect in-game and then become unable to access the website, forums or re-login for about 5 mins.

Error log attachment post.

Just happened again at the end of a CoF run, quite annoyed as i did not get my daily as i couldn’t reconnect in time because the client & website locks me out.

This is the error i get when trying to login after disconnecting and below is an error log of when i straight up client crashed twice in Fireheart Rise.

We now return to popular forum saying, IRON and SoR,
IRON and SoR, one is meaningless without the other.

The End.

Astral Projections.7320:

Other people in forum are talking about disconnects in WvW last couple of days. Search this sub forum to read.

Oh thanks for assuming i haven’t already…

I have infact searched and this is not the same then just disconnecting and getting back into game after, i get completely shut out of the game and website for about 5 mins which gets very annoying if you was in the middle of a high value keep assault when it happens.

Score update.

Offski.4897:

You want a gvg you got it, then we shall see who the door mats are. In fact tell you what you can have your normal 80 man zerg and we’ll only bring 30-40 sound fair?

Dat confidence, overpowered. Needs to be nurfed…

I’d actually love to see IRON vs. JQ, i hope a guild(s) takes up this offer.

I think you misunderstood my post, this would promote this action, and its not about spending 8 hours doing this either. Siege greifing usually happens when the said objective is about to be attacked.

If anything a greifer would build 30 rams gain WXP force them to lose the objective and then move onto the next.

Still getting disconnected, it seems to happen randomly but also when trying to transfer between maps in WvW.

Would really like a fix/ help about this issue as its causing WvW and even the game itself to be unplayable for me.
