It is incredibly easy to get 10g a day. Living story is 30 days. That’s 300g just doing living story and some dungeons.
I havn’t grinded for hours ONCE in this game yet I still have full ascended trinkets and a legendary.
…But what you just described is hours upon hours of every day dedicated solely to very meticulous and calculated farming.
by that logic everything in the game is farming. play wvw – wxp farming, play spvp – glory farming
It’s not 200g if you just saved the stuff you salvaged… we’ve known about ascended weapons for a long time, you could have saved your mats, too.
pve – full zerk
wvw – knight or soldier armor with melandru runes and zerk accessories
Seriously – you think you can get it in WvW? What planet do you live on?
you can get quite a bit if you’re on a server who has the ability to night cap other servers and flip stuff repeatedly

Melee cleave has a much larger arc than an arrow does, you will tag more meleeing than trying to pew pew with a bow, with significantly less effort. You will also be marginally more useful. As I said though, ranger mains are delusional, so no point in arguing.
look around the edges of eternal battlegrounds where nobody goes
celestial items still have more stats on them than other sets, you and everyone else who are complaining about this are doing so completely without merit. If you bought celestial stuff for the paltry magic find gain, that’s your own fault
I used some of my black lion kits and got more matter. It says 50% chance of rare materials instead of 25%, for what it’s worth.
So at 3k toughness conditions would do negative damage? Why don’t you take more than 10 seconds with your idea before posting a thread
People who main rangers often delude themselves into thinking they are being more useful than they really are because they barrage every 24-30 seconds and see some shiny numbers. Meanwhile people melee cleaving are contributing way more damage (and utility) and eles, mesmers, and necros are providing way more utility (and damage)
If you don’t care how useful you actually are and just want to follow a zerg and tag enemies, try greatsword/longbow with some semi-tanky gear and follow the melee train while occasionally barraging. Don’t listen to that crap about piercing arrows, it is much easier to just run in a circle spamming melee auto attacks with the rest of the zerglings.
salved my former mf armor with mystic kits, 0 matter
Aside from legendaries there’s still multiple issues with build diversity and with dps, it still takes three times as long on my engi to kill anything as it does on any other class. They fix all the bugs they want until the rework the damage ratios in PVE it’s still a problem for alot of people.
One of my friends stopped playing entirely because the only class he likes in the engineer and he noticed the ratios change dramatically right around level 50 where it suddenly becomes a chore to kill anything.
The legendary thing isn’t the only problem with kits and their backpacks, the whole backpack thing is messed up. We shouldn’t have them save for the cosmetic ones we add ourselves, there should be no backpack option easily.
if it takes your engi 3 times as long to kill something as another class, you are doing something very wrong
you can get traveler armor from coe tokens
Pretty much as stated above.
The only people who actually NEED to farm this stuff are WvWers. It’s just like buying Car parts. The average joe doesn’t need the latest engine pumps and fuel processing device and lighting technology, unless he’s an enthusiast. But if you work in the industry of car modifications and you work in one of those companies where they have those flashy modded cars you can hire out, you HAVE to have top notch stuff to meet the competition.
Outside of WvW, it’s just nice to have and nothing more, really.
LF1M for CoF path 1 super ultra speed run. Must have Ascended weapons to clear faster with. Ping gear upon join.
Elitists will always be elitists and therefore do not count.
Again, you can still do CoF probably in rares, quite frankly. I would go Exotics just to be safe. But once people start nabbing ascended weapons off the TP, whilst it won’t be majorly a problem in terms of Zerging, small groups and skirmishes.. Yeah.. I’m gonna feel that tonight.
people have done cof naked
Yeah, anet will just abandon plans they’ve had for months because you made a thread on the forums. Brilliant plan
let matchups prolongue for a lot more time…upwards to 3 months at least
lol.
Any in-game voice chat would have terrible quality since anet wouldn’t want to pay for good quality. See: WoW’s terrible in-game voice chat that nobody ever used.
15 people in a guild contributing a mere 100 skill points each is 1500 superior siege. How much siege do you need? Even if you dropped 50 siege a night, that’s still a month’s worth of siege, by which point you would have gained skill points back.
You’re on JQ, which is going to run with and against megablobs. The best profession with the highest survivability while only using skill 1 because of lag is staff Guardian.
Warriors have high skill lag survivability too, because they’ve buffed the passive regen from adrenal hp and healing signet.
Get a better computer and monitor. 1024×768? Really?
It is hard to see in zerg fights, but you are in no position to complain with that poor of hardware.
because you can faceroll and carry bad people through dungeons
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ash_Legion_Spy_Kit
Spy kits still work for skill points, its how i got the points guarded by champs on my last character.
I’m pretty sure it’s working as intended. For example, the spider boss does in ac doesn’t use her poison aoe if everyone is in melee range. It’s not an exploit to utilize that fact and if they didn’t want people utilizing it then why put it in the game?
Do people use banner regen for wvw? It’s not like spvp where people feel obligated to stand in a circle to fight you. It seems like the banner would just be annoying to play around. I was thinking about getting a condition set for my warrior too, but 1200 healing only gives you about 60 extra hp per second from healing signet and 180 per 3 seconds from adrenal health (at full adrenaline). I wouldn’t think that would be worth giving up the condition damage and crit from rabid.
On the bright side, maybe fighting for the circles will get more people interested in fighting others instead of fighting doors. It also gives people who want smaller scale fights another place to go instead of taking sentries and camps and hoping you find someone.
Rangers aren’t difficult to play in zergs, it’s just that soft cc (chill, cripple, immobilize) is inferior to hard cc (stuns and walls combined with boon stripping to remove stability) in organized groups. Hell, most of the frontline is going to be guards and warriors running lemongrass, effectively ignoring any of the soft CC to begin with.
Can a ranger join a pug zerg, spam aoe, and collect loot bags? Yes. Is it optimal for an organized group of 20+? No.
“Basic shots that hit enemy supply depots will now destroy some of the objective’s supply.”
Doesn’t sound baffling to me…
Someone will have to test how much supply it removes, though.
It has to hit the supply depot? How many trebs can even hit supply depots?
However I wonder if this will mess up keep attacks where you could just shotgun treb an outer supply depot to burn supply once you get through the outer gate. Maybe it wasn’t fully thought through.
I think that may have been the idea if you specifically have to hit the depot, open field trebbing, to discourage turtling for hours.
I imagine that hitting the supply depot entails hitting within the treb’s aoe radius, which is already rather large and further improved by an unspecified amount with a prerequisite trait.
You could play any class with no armor on at 900-1200 range in a guild zerg and not die, it doesn’t mean you’re being as useful.
Depends on your guild setup of course.. I’m the only ranger during our raids (almost everyone is a staff/hammer guardian), we have some elementalists (for static/fire fields) and the ocasional mesmer..
However, I think you mean here that the ranger doesn’t give any added value to a group? I am indeed not one who puts boons on my allies or such, but I am the one who does the damage.. Autoattacking with shortbow for 1k with piercing arrows, putting some entangle and barrage down, and back to keeping my distance..
Of course, depending on the size of the guild zerg, you can always switch to a spirit ranger build. Spirit of Nature’s Renewal is awesome and massive support in a group imho..That’s just pve :/
Agree, it’s not the zergballing that you’d like to see in WvW.. But the map is EB, so it is WvW, and all that is capped by my useless ranger gives points/tick..
1k auto attacks are not terribly impressive, nor is a mediocre aoe on a 24-30 second CD. That’s less damage output and about as much cripple uptime (because people can just move out of the barrage) as a warrior using a hammer in full ptv gear without any boons at all. Piercing arrows is nothing compared to cleave. Meanwhile the warrior is stunning people, clearing conditions, and blasting fields. “Keeping your distance” is utterly pointless. I can keep my distance on a level 2 character because I know how to kite and dodge, but it does not mean I am helping my team.
There’s a reason why gvg guilds don’t run many rangers: they don’t provide either the damage or the utility other classes do in large groups. At best, a ranger is worth a water field and 150 precision to 5 nearby allies with a somewhat useful elite every couple of minutes. I didn’t even mention pets, because they’re pretty much going to be cleaved to death.
“Basic shots that hit enemy supply depots will now destroy some of the objective’s supply.”
Doesn’t sound baffling to me…

Unless this was supposed to make it easier for color blind people or something, this was the most random change I could imagine.
So the ppt obsessed in tier 1 have a new hobby: trebbing enemy supply depots all day.
Sounds like fun
Jeezes, another kitten thread about how crap rangers apparently are?
Here is a newsflash: They aren’t! I’m still running WvW with my ranger (LB/SB) and manage quite nicely.. I run with my ranger both in guild zergs and solo, and never any problem here..
So everyone who claims that ranger was never worth anything: Please, L2P. And cut all these “buff my ranger because I suck” threads..
You could play any class with no armor on at 900-1200 range in a guild zerg and not die, it doesn’t mean you’re being as useful.
Condition damage isn’t that bad against pug zergs, but the way a lot of guilds play is run in, spike an area, run out, heal, repeat. Condition damage isn’t great with that playstyle, especially when the enemy has a front line of guards and wars removing conditions, with eles, mesmers, and necros in the back removing them too.
I always thought people on trebs were just using macros. I couldn’t imagine a human being deciding to spend their free time actually using a treb.
or instead of whining and taking screenshots, ask one person to go kill the quaggans
At least golem rushes force the opponents to go fight you, unlike boring hour long trebuchet battles.
I bet if they released a wvw map where the only goal was to murder people all day it would be more popular than the maps with siege.
So what exactly do you intend to accomplish by doing this?
got 11k+ in a single chain of axe attacks
11k damage in one triple chop is an average of 3666 per hit (although now the last hit does more damage than the first 2) which in full zerker gear is not really that high. In pve I’ve had autos hit for 5k+
After dying in big 3-way SM lag fights, my guardian staff has spammed really fast like that as I walked back from spawn.
And from the legendaries’ users, well…
I have yet to see one who’s not here to just show it off, specially in low-levels areas. Seriously, stop it. We all know you’re lacking somewhere else. It’s obvious.
So if I use my legendary in a low level area I’m showing off and compensating for something? You think I should switch to a different weapon? Lol, I’ve never seen anyone so irrationally upset over something to trivial.
Sounds like you got outplayed, mate.
I would change my playstyle to a different game
Orbs were terrible even without the cheating, please do not put them back in.
five people
character limit
Or simply hide PPT because nobody cares and then add incentives for fighting when outmanned.
All the people I run with seem to be relieved that the runs were swift. Pray tell, where are these people who pride themselves on ignorance and inefficiency? I never see lfg posts asking for slow, tedious runs, only posts asking for fast ones. Funny, that.
