Guild Wars 2

Time to finally open all these chests. The amount of tourneys that I have done, and this is how i’m rewarded. The amount of magic find, dyes, and carpal tunnel will be strong. Thanks Arena Net! I don’t even have the Ravager Title, and i’m almost Rank 71. Rank Points from won tourneys do not count. Here I go, wish me luck! =^_______^=

Holy mother of god. idk how any1 can even manage to save all their tourney chests…doesnt it bother u with them sitting there, just waiting to be opened?

Don’t use that site. that is EXTREMELY outdated. use Argos Soft. that is the most up to date site with all the armor and weapons

Tobias Trueflight.8350:

Depends on how bad the break was. That said, he’s a sad excuse for a Guardian to not have condition removal to take care of it.

I really don’t think condition removal can fix a BROKEN LEG. no offense

Like, i agree with paying gems for it, but for the older new hairstyles (if that makes sense) why aren’t some of those available in creation?

Ever since the 1st of the new hairstyles were introduced up to now, how come they aren’t even in the character creation?

Are we still talking about GW2 or Skyrim? lol

lol. nice.

I just want to correct Linnael on the numbers for Healing Signet. The base heal for 0 investment into healing power is 392. NOT 400. thought i might want to clarify that for you.

I’ve done this before without really knowing why or how it happened, but there are times when you can get Ricochet to hit twice on a single target. Does any1 know how to do this? and i’m talking about just a single target. there weren’t any other targets nearby like ambient creatures or neutral to make Ricochet hit twice on a single target.

9/10. Considered that I don’t really like light armor on charr, I have to say that combination is quite good.

Here’s my lovely Charr guardian

9/10
I love the armor sets u used and the blue and white dye selection. the 1 and only thing keeping this from being a 10/10 is the Rose bundle XD btw, i especially love the Vigil Shoulders on Charr. It just looks really awesome and I also like how your horns aren’t just ridiculously huge that end up making sabotaging the way you look. So, i give ya props on that also, i love the white fur and black stripes. its classy

“You know, your failure is only funny if you try…” who am I?

LastDay.3524:

The runes that say that they grant Haste actually grant Quickness, I think.
Do correct me if I’m wrong. Can’t say I’ve used those runes.

Maybe Quickness was originally called Haste?
I know that Chilled used to be called Frozen.
Some runes might still say Freeze/Frozen. (I think that some were fixed, though)

yeah, some runes used to actually freeze your targets in a block of ice.
I thought that the haste effects increased your movement speed at least

Whats the point of having the effect of haste on you if it drains your endurance and reduces the recharge rate by 50%? I understand how some other skills have it as a drawback, like Haste for thieves also gives them quickness, or Engi’s elixir U grants quickness as well as the haste effect OR taking 25% more damage. But on its own, haste is almost completely pointless.
Why is haste on the runes of balthazar and the runes of orrian? because the way I see it, there is absolutely no benefit of gaining haste when you’re at 20% hp.

Charr have no gods

It’s a fairly decent trait to have, but how it is right now, it’s like an adept level trait only in the master tier. I can see this trait being paired with Aquamancer’s Alacrity.
You have to admit it is decent, because chill impacts the elementalist the most.

If it comes back, i really hope they revamp some things in it so it’s not just the same, although it was a pretty sweet area!
Maybe, when/if the next time it comes around, the way we’re able to access it is through The Mists and theres a cool cutscene and everything

heres one:
I un-hinder one particular control-like effect with movements. I am unique only to one profession. What am I?

i got a good laugh out of that picture XD

In pvp, how bad would it be if you switched out Elemental Attunement for Arcane Energy and also used Adventurer Runes + arcane brilliance so you’d get 3/4 of your endurance back whenever you’d heal

What if, for example you were using a Fresh-Air build with s/d +Signet of Restoration and instead for the runes you used 2 runes of vampirism and 4 runes of the monk and blood sigil on scepter…I know this probably doesn’t seem very recommended, but lets just say you used this. what would be some Pro’s and Con’s

skyhammer?

That is a really solid build. I gotta admit!
What do you think about Arcane Lightning over Air Training and Piercing Shards over Soothing Wave?

I meant season 2 of living story. and yeah, i think that the feature patch will come 1st as well, but it’s kind of weird not to have anything big for the rest of March, aside from the WvWspring tournament.

Im wondering if these two will start roughly near each other’s release? or will Season2 start 1st and then the feature patch will start later? or what…

Does any1 else think that the Ascalonian Heavy helm looks a little better on a female charr than a male charr?

One thing, among many that I REALLY REALLY want is for the Dungeon Completion to be more clearly updated. Right now, it just says x/4 or x/5 paths completed. That can be really frustrating when you get distracted with doing something else and forget which paths you’ve done and end up going through all the paths just to get that 1 last path finished. It should be updated to say which paths you’ve done in the achievements tab and which are remaining.

the Flamewrath, Flamekissed and Flamewalker gear isn’t anything new at all. Sure it has a fiery effect. But the skins are the exact same as the Mistwalker(pvp medium)/Rawhide armor. The Flamekissed gear is the same as the Feathered armor and the Flamewrath has the Pit Fighter skin.

The one thing id like to see is if all the current armor skins were more racially fit depending on your race

okay, i can’t post a pic of my armor, because i don’t have access to it at the moment, but i will be able to post it in 2 weeks. I’ll tell ya what armor is on my warrior: T3 helm, T1 shoulders, TA chest piece, T1 gloves, TA leggings and i think either Vigil Boots or Dark boots. The dyes i use with the set are Walnut dye and Nickel or Tarnished Silver.

My charr ranger uses T3 chest, CoF shoulders and gloves, i think the leggings are Rogue Leggings, T3 boots, (helm i really don’t care so much cuz i can’t find anything fitting, so I just keep it hidden)

zaced.7948:

classy, what armor is that? looks amazing how the hat fits perfectly between the horns.
however i don’t like the gloves that much. i think something in the color of those feathers (?) around the neck would look better.
-> 9/10

recently i made two new armor sets and couldn’t decide which one to post, so here are both: the molten engimech and the toxic combat medic

im loving both those armor sets. i might give the top one an 7.5/10 and the bottom a 9.9/10. the themes on both are cool

lets say i wanted to use Litany of Wrath. Which weapon sets would i benefit from the most? (also, would I gain healing from outgoing retaliation and condition damage?)

:D

Okay, to be honest, I will point one thing. It does take skill to land a hit with the Skyhammer cannon. It has a noticeably long telegraphed charge and it covers a big area. Sure you can’t block it or dodge, but you can easily run out of the area, therefore making it harder for the guy on the cannon to land a hit with it.

I want to see a vid of 2 people dueling each other while they get passive buffs from their teammates.
So, both teams would both be something like this: guardian has Battle Presence and Strength in Numbers active; Elementalist stays in water attunement so that Soothing Mist stays active too; Warrior has Empower Allies up and can use 3 banners+elite banner. But they can’t take the regen banners trait, only the adept banner trait.

it would be interesting to see this duel….

Mace is more of a supportive weapon, but it has pretty good dps.
Sword has a much faster attack speed but I’m not sure about the dps compared to mace.
I’m thinking that mace is the better option overall.

Underwater combat in GW2 is the best out of any other MMO that i’ve seen underwater combat with.

GW2 isn’t a grindfest at all. Anyone who says that has always been a grinder themselves. They force that grind feeling on themselves and it makes the game a LOT less fun than it is and also you don’t need to craft Ascended Gear. the only reason for it is if you’re doing higher level fractals, which is a smaller part of the game.

I like the hat with the horn armor, gives me a wanderer/hunter feeling with the background. Colors fit, too, like a leathery denim mix. Bonus points for being a female charr, I love the ringlets on the tail. Not so good at numbers, but I suppose 8/10. I like the natural charr style.

This is Bouncy Castle Yay the warrior.

haha, i love it! its hilarious. it reminds me of my Factions warrior in guildwars1 and I was nicknamed Fruity Armor because of all the different dyes he had XD.

ESO won’t even be worth it at all. The only update between now and the big feature patch is the maintenance patch on the 18th, and that’s when glory is being removed. Also, since Anet moved the feature build from being on the 18th, we can only assume they have a lot more content and more than likely new additions, possibly some updated current content as well for when it comes in early April.

My charr warrior’s name is Korjyak Blaizekin. (if you’re wondering about the pronunciation of the last name, it’s like “Blaze-kin” only it’s spelled a little differently.)
i’m still working on a decent, interesting background for the name and a little history of it, but i’m not as good at it as some other people are

However, I had a little easier time coming up with something for my Charr Elementalist, Amrahn Firehide (pronounced Awm-rawn.) I went off of the story of your sire being a sorcerous shaman, and it was my goal to surpass his reputation and power of being a shaman. He’s almost always protected by a fiery shield, and he is dedicated to becoming the most powerful flame shaman, however the task is rather difficult at the time due to other greedy, power-thirsty, charr like Gaheron Baelfire and the Champion Drakin Cinderspire in Iron Marches…(still working on this 1 too :P)

but yeah, i probably should take breaks. actually now, i think i’ll lay off a bit until Season2 living story starts especially then because the feature patch will hopefully be starting around then as well.

If you aren’t on the gear treadmill as I am not it can get boring.

Get another hobby. I have motorcycles and photography. I usually only play the game now when the sun isn’t up and only for a short time at that since I also started an exercise regiment.

Nice! now that’s productivity!

I rarely get bored of GW2, but if I do, i don’t wanna get off because it’s a pretty good game.
It’s not that i’m tired of running around doing LS or events and stuff, but sometimes I just don’t feel like doing much in GW2 at times (if i’ve already gone through and completed some of the meta achievements.) and i also don’t mind doing dungeons/fractals so much but i’d rather not do them if i’m in a bored state.
Any1 have any recommendations of things to do that would un-bored me? lol.

I saw a guild by the name of The Skrittsburgh Steelers (4got what the tag was)

i guess there are still other places in Skyhammer where you could jump off and die after tagging people…or unless that doesn’t work either

you can easily get perma vigor with Furious Reaction (10 in arms) vigorous focus (10 discipline) Warhorn and balanced stance (just because it offers stability and swiftness with the shortest stance cool down, aside from Defiant Stance)

1 more thing i might add is that the trait Blasting Staff does not affect any of these underwater skills

That makes sense, given they’re not staff skills.

thats not what i mean. I mean that Blasting Staff should affect them. Just like how the warrior trait Slashing Power increases great sword and spear damage. Same with the ranger’s Eagle Eye trait and how it increase longbow range and harpoon gun range and damage

We can only assume its in the Maguuma Wastes from the cutscene though. it could change…But more than likely it is in Maguuma and everyone knows/should know at this point its Mordy

well technically its a float, but same concept pretty much.
and there’s only 2 actual sinks among the CC skills on trident: Magnetic Current, Rock Anchor, Air bubble and Undercurrent
And i’ve assumed that Ice Wall (water#3) is a leap finisher, though it doesn’t say it in the tooltip.

1 more thing i might add is that the trait Blasting Staff does not affect any of these underwater skills

I don’t know about how anyone else feels about underwater skills, but hopefully in season2 of living story, maybe underwater weapon skills will be buffed. Who knows?

Anyway, i’m just pointing out that the weapon skills Ele has for the trident don’t exactly add up. All the other classes’ skills, especially Engi, who only has 1 uw weapon like the Ele too, out-dps’s Ele by a long shot.
Even the attunements are out of whack. Water attunement seems to put out the most dps of all the other attunements underwater when water is supposed to be the “Superior support and healing abilities.” Maybe earth attunement can compete, but that’s really only 2 skills that just inflict bleeding.

But, like I said, maybe this is something that Anet is working on when the big feature patch comes out

When the time comes for us to deal with Kralkatorrik, I’m not sure how we’ll be able to fight a 1000 foot tall dragon :/
and I’m pretty sure he’s the biggest dragon. (correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s still really big)
