I have to say I’m stuck in a similar rut right now. I’m 54/55 and can’t find a setup that kills the amount of things I need quickly enough. Using Sword|Pistol/Shortbow right now, and it’s just meh. I also have all my points in Acrobatics/Shadow Arts. I might need to take a different track for leveling. Any thoughts?
I’m 49 right now and I’m slaughtering mobs that are 57-59 no problem.
I’m currently using P/D and P/P with 20 in Deadly Arts and 19 in Critical Strikes
A bit of a glass cannon build but that’s what cripple from DD and Caltrops is for (plus DD+Caltrops demolishes multiple mobs)
The P/P is more or less there for events and dungeons for the unload spams and head shots when someone else has the agro.
personally I go P/P in dungeons but I use head shot a lot…sometimes I’ll unload but Head Shot is horribly underrated.
I can’t see a down side to a “raid” mode, it’s not like anyone would force you to play it and it would add more depth to PvE.
Go fight in the lvl 20 areas, just kite the enemies…that’s what I did.
This wouldn’t work because there are people who would troll others in groups.
A clan sees you have that legendary weapon? They all report you.
Bots are fairly hard to stop.
10/10 for effort
What I’d like to see to help the longevity of GW2 (because I enjoy this game quite a bit but PvE lacks replayability after reaching lvl 80 and getting your karma/dungeon gear) is adding new dungeon events.
The difference is these dungeon events would revolve around taking down a single boss with 20+ players. I’ve seen this happen in World Events and nothing is more epic then seeing 20-30 players all beating on some mini boss at the same time…it’s exhilarating and helps build a successful community.
These events should also give players more “grindable” gear. I’m not saying this gear should be so powerful that you feel obligated to grind out these 30 man dungeons but it should be powerful enough to encourage doing these dungeons over and over for these rare drops while having worth while drops, even if you don’t get that rare drop.
