Guild Wars 2

If anet fixes the first boss in arah p2 the no. of sellers would decrease by a lot, if they cancelled the lupi skip no. of sellers would go to 10% but the prices would become a lot higher.
dub, don’t try to act like a dev, it’s not like you haven’t used exploits before, giving people the ability to skip lupi is anet’s fault, and honestly, that skip is so kitten annoying if I could solo lupi I’d probably solo him instead of using that skip.
PS: I don’t sell spots, I just know about the skip

If I wasn’t aware of the terrible filter this forum has, I’d think you’re pretty weird.

Quoted for truth

lack of crit chance

For 5 attacks? Do you realize you do >70 attacks in 4 seconds?

oh, then yeah, your build is better.

haviz.1340:

Without flash you’ll do about ~48 ticks, with it – ~70. Why would you use arcane power at all, it’s a waste of utility slot?

lack of crit chance, next 5 attacks do crit damage

haviz.1340:

Your idea lacks lightning flash as well.

I’m not getting why you used lightning flash, only reason i can find is to teleport back while doing fiery whirl and giving the whirl it’s full potential, but on the video the moment you do lightning flash you do insane damage and you’re not even doing any of the skills?
250 precision isn’t that necessary with arcane power and a little bit of luck, we’re basically arguing over 35% crit damage against 250 power and 10% more damage

would be nice if anyone with the meteorlogicus could verify if those changes are true or not, anywho, ascended rifle looks cool.

I hope you are aware that dungeons are buggy and can be exploited, some bosses can be skipped, some bosses can be glitched, the current living story in a nutshell is a festival being interrupted by some baddies, same thing for the one before it and the one before the one before it.
Edit: forgot to mention that the gold reward for each dungeon wasn’t well though, like, almost no thinking at all, I think it’s mostly because people who run arah complained about people farming cof, so they decided to make most arah path give 3g (and the fact that arah paths have 5 bosses and really hard skipping…), they probably gave AC 1.5g because they revamped it.

Why don’t you try 25/0/25/20/0
you can use signet of fire for burning and get arcane power to make sure it’s crit and go for more power, and maybe only 1 ele should have the LH utility, whilst the other one can go for arcane blast to stack might?
You can start by using 2 in the FGS, then 4 then 3, that should make him burned for a while.

Oh, a dev replied, it only took 38+/- threads (37+/- from wukulin’s list + this one)….
I keep remembering the shawshank redemption when andy dufrene said “They can’t ignore me forever,”
Still, good to know we have not been completely abandoned… yet
Would be nice idea if they put scarlet or w/e her name is into TA when they revamp the path, devs keep saying they don’t want a change that doesn’t make sense story wise, so they might make it something like “When scarlet failed the invasion she went to TA for protection,” something like that, and and they can make the F/U path about a team stopping scarlet’s plan of making a huge army and stopping her from beginning another invasion thingy.

I imagine some ascended gear cosmeticwise may surpass legendaries.

I’m feeling bad for the minstrel already

Well I mean, appearances are completely subjective to opinion. I for example, love my destroyer weapons, even though Noone else really does.

The minstrel is a chicken… a kittening chicken, I can see the minstrel as a 200g focus but not a legendary, never a legendary…. I even checked it’s effects before posting this, the only effect it has a really hard to hear hum sound when you equip it and also checked the wiki, it occasionally gets really small and unnoticeable effects

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

Vol.5241:

I agree with OP, it’s not exactly efficient I would think.

You get more champs farming aetherblades and probably more champs doing orr/fgs runs per hour.

It has the potential to be 11 champions in <5 minutes. Is that a good champ/min rate?

Yes, but getting there is really hard and it’s almost the same rate as farming, it’s also a lot harder and chances are, most of the people expecting that it would be an easy farm would fail miserably, this would just be an incentive to do the dungeon.

eles should be able to use pistol and swords, eles using swords makes more sense than eles using daggers.

Shouldn’t they drop champion boxes, anet said champions will drop champion boxes, these guys are champions, why don’t they drop champion boxes, is it because there are too many of them and they will be farmed, I can assure you that 99% of the farmers would take atleast 1 hour to get there, think of it as a reward to people who do dungeons and don’t farm…

lol, that would be awesome, and they should make a title for burning a thousand bodies.

Just had a pug run for p3 take 25 minutes, pugs can be awesome sometimes

Bright is right, these things started happening more and more when people assumed that others kicked instead of soloing/duoing/triong, and people need to to check the link in my signature more, it’s there for a reason…

swiftpaw.6397:

…..

Why didn’t you leave when you saw 2 people using mf sets??
I’ve also had my share of MF stories, I was doing fractals 20 though, and we had a guy with over 126% mf (I know that because he/she said "Why do you keep getting rares, I have 126% mf and all I got was crap, we were doing the ascalonian fractal) , run was actually quite smooth, we wiped once or twice, except at maw, 3 people didn’t have ar and kept dying a lot, until eventually 3 people decided to quit (2 with no AR and 1 with AR), it was a good thing I told the 4th person to stay and I was the one who got in, since we were at maw it was like a free 20 daily, so we found a group super fast and finished the run, one of the people who came late got a fractal GS, lucky kitten.

This is an important topic and should be posted in the suggestion forum, it shouldn’t die here -_-

I think there are different levels of experienced, most of the people here would rate somewhere from 7-10 in arah, which is very rare, but what I think is needed for an experienced run is 3 or above, 3 probably includes knowing the path, not getting downed a lot in lupi, not taking ages to skip mobs, knowing how to kill the boss, which is enough to get arah p1, p2 and p3 in 25-40 minutes depending on dps, but the thing is, most of the people rate 2 or 1, 0 being completely new, 1 being done it a few times.

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

Bismuth is the OG Lupi slayer

meh… I suck at arah, I can’t even solo lupi :’(

stale.9785:

Having done my share of speed clears (cof1 and AC, primarily) it takes far less skill to skip everything than it does to play well enough to survive a full clear of the dungeon.

The bigger problem is that, barring random chance (I’ve gotten rare drops from trash mobs on extremely rare occasion) there’s no profit in clearing the trash – hence, trash.

There should be a tracking system, and if you’ve managed to clear every enemy associated with your chosen path, you get considerably higher rewards. Say, 3X the base amount for just “clearing the path” – ie rushing to the end.

This is going to be difficult because
1- some dungeon paths are connected, are you going to have to kill all the mobs in the dungeon
2- Some dungeons have harder mobs, like arah for example, I’m pretty sure I can solo 3 elite mobs in cof but only a handful of people in this game can solo an illusionist (arah elite mob). there are also 4 champion giants in arah p3 and a champion warrior.

So, maybe your idea can be an achievement with a title sort of thing, “dungeon finisher” Killed all mobs in all the dungeons, including story

I’m usually the one warning my team that phase 2 started, and I’m usually the one that kills the grubs and I’m usually the guy that doesn’t die… unless I’m ressing, almost all my deaths at lupi is because I was either lagging or ressing, the rest is because I think that I don’t need to heal.

That moment when you rally/mist form/teleport and 2s later someone puts a banner… -_-

haviz.1340:

When pug wipes, it’s always the fault of the guy who was doing something different, like meleeing.

I remember when it was my fault when the pvt ranger with over 7k ap died at lupi because I was meleeing lupi…

TheMaskedParadigm.3629:

I wonder if Lupicus clicks his skills.

lol, imagine 1v1 against lupi, and lupi being controlled by a real person, not just a dumb AI, and his skills have cd and such, and he can even walk, even the grub eating and summoning is a skill, that would be so kitten

Dub.1273:

…

How do you edit the signature to make it like that?

Are you using a 32 bit windows or not, if yes, then I think I know how to fix it.

Holy crap. Please bring this back.

steps for meteorlogicus is going to be hard and might ruin it, I suggest an aura like sunrise and skill effects, I wouldn’t mind steps but that might ruin it for some people, I can already see anet messing them up like kudzu’s steps

How do you position lupi, chryzo told me that when soloing, it’s best to put him away from the wall, but I can’t seem to get the hang of it, any advice?

Is the last of us any good, thinking of taking a long break from gw2 after I solo lupi, somewhere between 2-4 weeks, I started playing but it doesn’t really look that good, my bro played it and said it was epic, opinions?

legendaries should be like zenith weapons, once you make one, any character of your can take it, but it should still remain a level 80 weapon.

Hammer eles… nuff said

Chryzo.8906:

Biz: go train instead of writting useless stuff on the forum

it’s my fault the game is buggy, and lupi summons a lot of swarms, and kicks, and lags, and can’t be 1 hit killed….

For the exclusive rares, they do have that for arah p4 and still not a lot of people do it

In the ascalonian fractal, we have the siege master dulfy, we also have the dulfy site, is it a coincidence that they called the siege master dulfy or not?

Sanderinoa.8065:

Nice work! good to finally have an actual engi solo, aside from dub trying to sneak in that fake one.

dat almost

We need the guy with the TA F/U links, dammit man, where are you when we need you…
PS: we’re going to need that nightmarish rhapsody for later.

Xae Isareth.1364:

It really depends on your tastes. The reaosn why GSs look more elaborate than other weapons is basically because they’re bigger and you actually can put that much detail onto it.

If you stuck too much detail unto a dagger, it’d just look like an elaborate mess.

GS favoritism is mainly because there are a huge variety of epic GS and a lot unique ones, whilst other weapons have low variety and look bad…

nice, good job, keep it up.

If you want to kill mobs, then kill them, I know some people who like killing mobs in dungeons, you guys can go together and do stuff, but don’t force your opinion on everyone in the game, just write in gw2lfg “lfg blablabla dungeon, will kill mobs,”

Maybe they thought that since many of the attack animations with GS are so poor, the legendaries had to look good to compensate.

guardian and mesmer animations aren’t that bad, and mace/axe have worse animation than the GS, invalid arguement

Spinning animations in GS. Sorry, argument reinstated.

Your point is that the GS animations are bad that they had to make awesome legendaries to compensate, my point is that GS animations aren’t the worst, spinning animation on guardians look nice and we have nice animations for mesmer and ranger, worst animations would probably be shield, axe, mace and warhorn…

Oxstar.7643:

Enough complaints about skins,okay? Think about actual content instead.

legendaries, fractal weapons, dungeon gear, they’re mostly done for skins, half the good content in this game is skins…

The bifrost looks like a plastic stick with some colors around it, we don’t have any unique awesome daggers, like volcanus, or infinite light, jormag’s tear is just a piece of glass that costs 70g…

I just went to the guild wars 2 discussion section and they were talking about the difference between a noob farmer and a pro farmer and how you can tell, lol…

We should make a thread titled “Don’t post in this section” and if anyone wants to post, he’ll look at it, and we write "Devs don’t come here, you want something the devs will read, post it in the gw2 discussion section, if it gets moved here than you will know a dev has read it, if someone asks “why don’t you post it in the dungeon section” just say I didn’t know, because we don’t want devs here, we’ve broken atleast 5 rules from the code of conduct… I know, so hardcore!!!"
