Guild Wars 2

Burning the dragons and then getting my shattered wings.

Just wanted to thank all the people that have whispered me so far.

I have decided that this guild will have only 13 individuals. Spots are open for Elementalist and Necromancer. Already a couple of individuals have showed an interest and the slots are almost locked.

Since it is summer time, I would prefer if individuals dropped me an email through forums rather than in game in order for me to respond faster.

Second ticket. Just need one more and thats it.

Slots are open for Elementalist and Necro. Currently a group is in process and requires a Necro to complete their regular training..

Laijaa :Guardian
Dzindzinier :Engineer
Umpa Ele: Elementalist
Aedishu aka Umpa Dishy: Mesmer
Open Slot: Necro

Got my first Dragon Skin. Blew off 17g and absolutely nothing. Two more Skins to go. Come on!

Keep in mind that the Dragon Ball associated achievements are currently bugged and do not count towards the Dragon Bash Experience achievement. Just to keep in mind.

Thanks for posting my guide here

Kindly noted.

And thank you..

There you go a guide to dragonbash.

Choose which achievements to do since you need to do 10 out of 14..
Farm Gold as a level 80 character.
Don’t do the Event and invest your time elsewhere.

Simple.

Yeah I know. It was meant for Custard as a reference from the other player who said similar things to Custard’s post.

There was a r50 Ranger who contacted me last night but I forgot to respond back. Please contact me again in game or send me a message/email accordingly.

I would like to give you a try as well. There is another guy who have said similar things and I am currently waiting to receive feedback about him from my officers, so I will put you both together when you are in for tournaments.

Enjoy.

I see. I updated the main thread and included 3 builds for TPvP in which my main was re-tweaked. The second one is not viable but it might serve in the future for different weapons sets since you would be able to have a load of boons every 30 seconds combined with runes of lysa.

What sigils you people running for tpvp on S/D? I need to change mine.

This week we are going to run with another group.

A

Deathgod Ryuu: Thief
Feel my Loove: Mesmer
Finiar Alafin: Engineer
Candygirl: Guardian
Open Slot: Elementalist

B

Deathgod Ryuu: Thief
Feel my Loove: Mesmer

Liber Monster: Guardian

Contact me accordingly.

After a couple of discussions with many players this week, thread has been updated. Also we are going to gather today for a team try out. I have already contacted some Guards and Engineers but just in case no one is able to make it at that time we might reconsidering taking on board someone else.

Just wanted to update some information; Applicants who fill the criteria but play Mesmer or Guardian will be prioritized over other type of classes.

Thanks for the responses so far. I know some of you have contacted me here or in game. I was informed that others have send an email in game to some other people so please try to get in contact with me first. My in game name is Deathgod Ryuu.

b. Help other teams and guilds to fill in their spots
c.Make a guild to do tpvp, pve and wvw

Word of advice: Usually I switch to might-stacking one if I see the enemy does not have a thief in their team.

Having lots of fun with this build lately

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQRAsY8YlUmaPHdS4E/5ExWhdy9wpGtpdPwqWrKA-TwAg0CqIqRVjrGTNyas1MsY9x+jpFA

I’d say it’s an hybrid between a S/D daze build i used to run and jumpers. Great survivability (stealth and evades) + boon stealing + dazes + moderate damage

not sure if tpvp viable tho

Thanks for sharing!

I am playing with some builds I have posted on the initial thread and I will most likely do some cleaning this week or the following. I also wanted to ask what is the perfect PVE condition build as a Thief.

uberkingkong.8041:

Theres 1 guild/team I don’t see on your list. I’m not sure if they want to be on the list either but only clues I’m giving is that they #1 NA guild, they are THE top 5 (ALL OF EM) on NA leaderboards.

I am trying to make a list of guilds or teams looking for more players rather having a guild or a team that has got already a core team if I am reading correctly what you are trying to say.

Ruler.1832:

Good initiative. Also, it’s worth registering your guild at mistleague.com as we’re working kitten implementing the LFG system there. Check back for updates!

Thank you for the information. Link added.

docMed.7692:

Thanks for putting this together – You can add DnT (yes, the primarily focused PvE guild), to this list. We have a core/developing tpvp team with high dedication.

Hello and thanks for posting. I would like you to complete however the info requested from the initial post so it can be complete like it is with the rest.

EUTeam Looking for one more player

Team Name: Unified Confusion
Contact: Deathgod Ryuu
LF1M: Elementalist or Ranger willing to learn other class as well; rank 40+ with TS
Practice Times: 6-8pm and onwards on weekdays and varies on weekends.

Please do not derail this thread applying pressure to guild’s requirements. If you have got genuine concerns then feel free to contact the person who put down the guild’s expectations through private messaging.

Sheris.6789:

Do any of these builds work with full PvT gear? Or would I need to switch to berserker?

What is PVT gear?

Updated the list again.

Still haven’t received an invitation.

We are aware that many players are waiting on invites. They are doing what they can look for the gw2esports subreddit invite. There is a limit to how many invites can be sent at one time we have numerous players who haven’t accepted the invite and that is preventing us from sending out more.

Good to know. Just wanted to know/be informed what is going on.

Thanks in advance for clarifying it.

d/p if played perfect will never lose to s/d…… and d/p has blinds for group play which is better than what sword does…..s/d doesnt do anything for group play other than being able to hit more than 1 target if they group up. p/d does the most for group play when running condi hp build.

S/D strips boon and splits attention – you either ignore the S/D thief teleporting around and stealing protection/stability/vigor/regen while doing solid DPS, or you attempt to engage, at which point the S/D thief teleports away/plays evasively effectively making that player waste his time. Bonus points if you become annoying enough to garner the attention of 2 or more players and waste their time.

D/P takes advantage of surprise and burst, S/D takes advantage of making players waste a disproportionate amount of resources attempting to deal with them.

I agree with you.

Updated. Please check the details of your guild recruiting so everything is correct.

@authority Why not for tpvp? …im notsaying its wierd i have my own thoughts but id like to hear more details.

It is the same thing when going from D/D to D/P and going back to D/D. You realize how much team-utility you miss; including blind and safe/effective stomping. Boon Stripping, Boon Acquiring (through i.e runes of Lysa), daze, evading and dodging as well as having a spamable shadow step are all parts that make the sum stronger.

S/D right now is far superior to D/P for TPvP. Your team can duo with you and contest any points with bunkers. The only negative thing about S/D is that you do not have the easy of stomping as you did with D/P.

With S/D, you also realize the same thing from going from D/D to D/P; more chances to survive, less risk involved, more smart play.

Can’t it just be summed up as Swrd/D good for team fighting while D/P better for roaming/1v1? Also, don’t forget headshot in D/P which is awesome. Maybe it’s just my playstyle but I have been having better lukc with GC D/P lately…

In all honest I feel more confident using S/D for 1v1 than what it felt with D/P. I am sure you have your reasons for saying that D/P is better for one versus one so feel free to put your 2cents in here as well.

Assuming one versus one in TPvP environment.

My build for TPvP.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQNAsYVlYmaPHcy5E/5Ex2DfKUe6fgs9MuqVB-TsAg0CnIyRljLHTOycs5MoYZxsAA

Unfortunately I cannot make D/P work for TPvP.

I will be testing either today or tomorrow a build for D/P and hopefully if it is successful I will post it here.

My favorite build so far until further notice.

Inspired2 by loljumper’s build
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQNAsYVlYmaPHcy5E/5Ex2DfKUe6fgs9MuqVB-TsAg0CnIyRljLHTOycs5MoYZxsAA

There is one build I will add later on.

Travlane.5948:

im doing ok. doing alot of wvw before the 19th… i feel this anti stealth trap stuff may be a real antithief item. will have to wait and see. making a nicce video too . gathering footage etc form wvw/spvp etc

Didn’t hear anything about anti stealth trap. So what is going on exactly.

Travlane.5948:

@Authority. the 1% per intiative is like a sarcastic joke to me its like heres an extra 15 % dmg but only for auto attack and ONLY if u dont use initiative. it prolly averages around 3% dmg extra. i mean its prolly nice for an opening mug burst…..oh…wait nvm…we dont have that….yeah its not a good trait :P

Still need to do a few twitches with some builds just so you know. That 1percent per initiative might have other uses (I assume pve only). Same thing with Assassin Rewards (I assume again).

Started doing some PVE lately so I might add a build in the future just for that.

How you doing anyhow?

Inspired by loljumper’s build
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQNAsYVlYm6O3cy4E/5Ex2DfKUe6VgsdPuKXtKA-TsAg0CnIyRljLHTOycs5MoYZxsAA

Added one more just for the fun of it. Everything about this is invested on stacking might. You should be able to have 10-13 might every 30seconds or 15+ with steal. Plus 15percent sustained damage with 10percent from not having your endurance full and 5 percent from being under the effects of might.

I might try it for D/P to be honest.

Leadfoot this is what I would go with.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYAQNAsYVlUmaPHdy4E/5Ex2je6Te6pgsjtTBXtKA-TsAAyCsIqRVjrGTNyas1MoYZxsAA

2.5damage
2.4armor
37% crit
62%crit chance
16.7hp

I think that is the most balanced stats you could get out of from your build.

What’s your opinion on removing 5 from acro and adding 5 to trickery? Is the +1% damage per initiative good on paper not in practice?

I can see it working for high sustain damage against dumb PvE mobs, but probably not so good in WvW were you’d be using your initiative to Infiltrating strike/ steal boons, CnD stun, etc.

Well I have never been to WvW properly. Also every time I try to do PvE it lasts for 15 seconds before I go back to the Mist; so I do not want to tell you something in an area that I do not have any experience in.

But generally speaking, 1percent damage per initiative is not that strong in my opinion because you wont be able to take advantage of it since you will be using most your initiative as a thief.

Why do I sense a bit of sacarsm humor here LolL.

I wouldn’t know anything about sarcasm.

They are “busy” try to log in. That is where I find it funny. Anyway, bump up to op.

Yeah I know. I just didn’t want to receive warning message by a mod for the 100th time.

Thanks for the response so far. Will add them all by tomorrow.
