Guild Wars 2

Does any one know what the range on the heal is? And is it centered around where the crit took place or is it centered around my characters location?

Was thinking of trying it on one of my rangers bows although not sure if I would be so far away from the group that it would be useless to them.

My non theif would love this.

Sigh cant edit the topic….build not buold
Hello,
I just hit 80 on my thief, and have the mats and or gold to buy gear. Was wondering if some one could help me get my feet wet with some advice for WvW.

Should I go with condition armor or zerker or knights armor? Will be making a full set of the exotic armor and exotic jewelry just not sure what to make….or weapon combos and traits.

Will be running solo mainly in wvw or with small groups, will not be doing perma stealth as I can not master it

EDIT:
Was wondering what the lettering means, p for pistol and the others?

I heard someone say in another thread that thieves do well in WvW to run P/T/H (rather than the traditional P/V/T)

I have not heard them say the current dev team is gone and a new on is coming in…so yea I think it is time to give up hope.

Could be a lack of talent and not cost…well so far that is a safe bet or both.

After this patch I keep getting “the game client lost connection to the server blah blah blah”

Pocket Warrior, Thief, Guardian, Ele or Mesmer

A new dev team.

Its a sad day when we have to rely on the current dev team.

Hmm since this should work with our pets and it is anet I am going to go out on a limb and place the safe bet of saying no it does not. Or if they intended it to they buggered it and it does not work properly.

We would have been better off if they ignored us.

Sadly it seems the biggest detriment to the ranger class is the dev team, what a sad joke they are.

Right now he is in full draconic knights gear with orichrum zerker rings, earnings, amulet and the lvl 80 guild assassins back pack with a zerk jewel in it. Not sure if it his build that is lacking or what not although his damage output does not seem to be as high as warriors I have had beating on me. Had a rifle warrior hit me for 14k today on my character (ranger) in exotic clerics gear.

Thank you for the help guys it is appreciated.

Wondering what amount of toughness one would recomend a warrior have for wvw? I am going to make a friend a new set of armor and was wondering if all berserkers draconic with knights jewelry/guild back pack suffice?

Thanks gang,
Was just disappointing when I got my lvl 60 their but it was ok I just switched characters. Just wish they would have used better language instead of any map any level.

I had thought that they had made a change so characters of any level could enjoy all the maps. With up leveling and down leveling, how ever today when I tried to play with guild mates I was not up leveled at all.

Am I miss understanding what was said?

“Hello, I’m Isaiah Cartwright, the lead game designer for Guild Wars 2. I’d like to talk today about some changes we made to our dynamic leveling system, which allows players to enjoy the content on any map at any level.”

&

“The goal is to more accurately reflect the attributes you should have at that level for a similarly geared character. While this will make some areas harder, our goal is to make all areas of Guild Wars 2 exciting and fun for players of any level. We also want players of all levels to feel like their time is well spent and rewarding in any map they go to.”

Not sure how, since Any map any level is well pretty obvious and yet not working.

Confused on the spike trap, when does it get the immobilize ability?

Lorelei.3918:

One of the Ranger’s biggest flaws is that so much of it’s dps comes from the pet. Yet the pet dies so much and STILL has trouble hitting moving targets.

I can’t even play ranged ranger anymore. I realized you have to be melee, and lock your enemy down and handicap him every possible way, just so your pet can do its thing.

Here’s what I think. Our pet shouldn’t even be necessary (and our weapon damage balanced accordingly) unless we spec 30 BM, and if we spec 30 BM, he better be awesome. Second, no matter what he needs to have 80% aoe damage resistance, ESPECIALLY from cleaves. Third, Champion and Indignation npcs should have their AI changed to stop focusing pets. They have the same aggro AI as your regular mooks, and mooks target pets/minions first by default to make life easier on pet classes.

I agree, currently the pets are borked beyond repair. The pet mechanic and it is inherit flaws are one the biggest issues the rangers have.

Hmm I may try the build although am nervous, playing one handed for a while so not sure my dodge will be up to par.

I would recomend the warhorn if you are doing wvw, the speed buff is great. I have not done much with the dagger so could be absolutely wrong although I do like the speed buff alot.

Thank you Tribio,
How is it not having toughness in the armor?

Hello gang,
I am getting ready to regear my friends warrior and could use some help with it and builds. I keep seeing warrior damage videos and am hoping we can get his damage up their and his survivability. Here is a video example

He is currently geared in exotic draconic knights armor with superior rune of fire. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Rune_of_the_Fire rings/amulate/earings are ruby orichorum (sp) of the berserker with a rare guild assasins backpack of the berserker.

Great sword is Ebonblade
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ebonblade

Rifle is Mystic Rifle
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mystic_Rifle

Also has a mystic axe and I don’t recall the exotic warhorn.

Currently is a shout warrior, can get his build later tonight.

Any help is appreciated, I need him to protect my ranger!

EDIT:
Have been farming and have the mats and gold to build an new set of draconic, can re do all his other gear if needed as well. Not sure how much karma he has if karma gear is better or what not.

I have been also, geared in all exotic crafted medium. All exotic rings/amulates with the yellow guild back pack. With exotic weapons.

Just need to find a group on my server to (Dragonbrand) to do it with since my normal people are tied up for a while with real life.

Name: Hunterberta
Main Character: Human Ranger
Current Server: Dragon Brand
Interested Activities: WVW,Exploring, PvE, Dungeons
Active: MST after work and weekends
Are you willing to participate in Operation: UNION’S project, Y/N?: Yes, definitely! Maybe Kinda I mean yes.

Also have a small vent server (25man)
Additional Comments: Guild Leader of a small guild. Willing to take new or old players in.

That explains alot….thank you!

Hello,
I am looking for help coming up with a new build and armor combo for mainly wvw. Right now my build is letting me survive a lot although I am not really killing much either when solo. Opponents either run away or I do. I mainly travel solo in wvw trying to see what is going on and giving info so have focused on staying alive.
I am in Emblazoned Clerics of the Vamp, my rings/am etc are ruby ori of the berserker with an assassin’s guild backpack of the berserker. And have been using longbow/sword & warhorn. I have the mats saved up and gold to make another set of armor and was hoping to get some help with choosing it.

I am hoping to be running wvw with a small group or solo still while being part of the zerg machine when defending a keep etc.

Should I go with knights armor? Zerker or something else? And any builds to go with the armor suggestion? Thank you for the help, stuck at work wishing I was in game.

Thank you, I appreciate the help.

The guild bank part seems interesting. So we can be in multiple guilds and just choose what one to represent?

What happens to guild ranks, do we pop back in at the same guild rank we had before we represented another guild?

I would second the nomination of Guardian, they seem to be liked by groups in pretty much any situation….although I am not sure about spvp.

I am in the same boat as you, I have a level 53 thief and have abandoned that character. The feel was just not their for me, I then went with a ranger and while I have had fun with the ranger the class is by no means close to being on par with any of the other class’s.

I have friends who also play an elementalist and a mesmer they like both of those class’s alot. The elementalist has great survivability and killing power. The mesmer loves their class other than people constantly wanting portals.

Guardian
Warrior
Elementalist

All three of those seem like they could be a good choice. Although the ranger is easy to level with the end game is not as fun as we are not on par.

Thank you, I appreciate the help! Back to farming karka…well maybe once the weekend comes.

My first question is do the young karka still drop mini pets?

Second question is if I pay for a server transfer what happens if some one on the server has the same character name?

I am frustrated by the lack of communication from the devs and the sorry state the ranger class is in. I see other class’s that look like they are having a blast and are viable. Sadly making a new character is not really an option as the game is just not that entertaining that I would want to go through leveling again.

Thank you! I appreciate that.

Hello,
I have a couple questions on magic find that I am hoping some one can help me with.

1) Does magic find increase rewards from chests such as the one from after the claw of jormang??

2) If do I need to have the gear equipped during the fight? or Can I use my normal gear and then change before opening the chest?

ProtoGunner.4953:

Other MMOs don’t even allow changing crafting professions unleass you are willing to lose all your progress… People today just want to have everything, no work eh?

I would love it if I could loose all my progression. Could then just re level on the same crafting that I have the mats for or that is the cheapest to lvl on.

I would propose that we loose all progression on switching, or that their be no limit to how many can be active at a time.

Guilds as a whole need to be redone, so limited right now…it is just sad.

Or simply not have the personal story an option for the character who dd a race change.

I personally would be fine with that, the personal story has not done anything for me yet.

Or make it so that even if it was re played no rewards or xp would be granted for it until they reached the lvl of quests the character was when the change was done.

Where do passion flowers come from? Just wondering never have seen one of the bloody things in game.

What UI were you using to give the countdown on the ability’s? Or is it built into the normal gw2 ui?

Jubei.5923:

Received two infractions this week for bumping this thread. It was apparently spam and ‘of little or no substance’.

Seems harsh that you would get an infraction for wanting the company to communicate with us. You would not have had to of bumped the thread if they would put the donut down and actually communicate with the customer. Their are Great Apes that can sign so not sure where the issue with communication is coming from.

Would be nice to know if/when some of the bugs and just poor coding would be resolved. From pet management to the items on the list to follow. Also my traited camo on knockdown etc is not working, it will flash for a half second and then I am fully revealed and still face down from the attack that triggered it.

List of ranger bugs that need to be addressed, and this is not a complete list.

Lack of communication from the company
Ranged attacks often say ‘obstructed’ even when it’s clearly a landed hit
Longbow/Harpoon Gun don’t auto attack at max range (1500) with Eagle Eye.
Horn skill Call of the Wild (5) with autotargeting on will cause start autoattacking anything near
Horn skill Call of the Wild (5) gains 2 seconds from Off-Hand Training on the tooltip, but the duration is the same in real-time
Horn skill Hunter’s Call (4) can cause very odd graphic anomalies on enemies of specific sizes. More info here.
Spear Swirling strike is interrupted by the Stab chain if auto-attack is enabled
Sword’s Slash/Kick/Pounce chain will cause the player to be semi-rooted in place resulting in inability to dodge or readily reposition yourself (more info here and here)
Shortbow’s Quick Shot doesn’t always trigger the swiftness boon or move you backwards. More info here
Shortbow’s Crossfire (1)’s added delay as of the 10/7/12 patch is seemingly unintended. More info here
Shortbow isn’t affected by quickness correctly. More info here
Shortbow’s autoattack is auto-canceling since the animation fix. More info here
Greatsword’s Swoop (3) will often miss if the target is on a different elevation as you.

I like my ranger in instances, I wish my dps was a bit higher although I do not die any where like I did when on my theif.

I like to use the moa pet with the damage reduction. It and the healing provided by the bird is a nice bonus to the group.

I have how ever not ran many instances at all.

Range seems to long in the posts. Half the range or quarter and sure.

Didnt think of off hand sword, yes please off hand sword.

Thanks gang, I was all confused. Had a warrior last night ask me why I didn’t op stomp last night while doing claw of jormang. Wasnt sure what I was missing…it is a long list I am sure.

Thanks again.

Was wondering what it means when people refer to stomp.

Such as the following taken from another post.

"
Build:

http://intothemists.com/calc/?build=-FF-W;1wEFy-x2gEF-0;9V1D;2TT44;117A28A;4UNH4;2jwmAjwmA2FZ

Btw quickness stomping is OP :x
"
Or

“It’s a matter of perspective really. But yea, quickness stomping is quite nice. And annoying on the receiving end. It seems a lot faster than x2.”

Or

"

BM hit first = win.
or
BM stomp trap = lost."

Thanks for the help!

Small shields or just shields and rifles with spears on land.

Why can we not sort armor types by light,medium,heavy or search for stats such as healing power or the like?

How about putting in some useful filters please and um stuff.

The closest I have found sadly will not be of use to you. Although it is the medium armor emblazoned set.

Anybody home at anet?

Rename them waiting for anet code or something.
