Guild Wars 2

I think 10:1 or 12:1 would be fine. The stupid thing is this was for PVE, and yet nothing has changed there

I dont think its possible to get it how it was before. The only way would be to swap all your soldiers stuff for zerker, but then your survivability will obviously take a massive hit

ItIsFinished.9462:

Also, you don’t have to run the traditional weapon set to achieve high Poison uptime anymore. Nor do you have to run spiders either.

So you can run a condi GS build? Nice!

Well this is very disheartening to hear?

How do you guys know? I thought the update isn’t for a couple hours still? Not even the 15th yet

Leeching/hydromancy/force/air on GS or any other weapon and impact/force/leeching/air on hammer

Why would you think that? Warrior, guardian, mesmer, and ranger will still be fine with a GS

The firearms one is especially good. Mines are 2-3k a hit and if its every 2sec thats a lot of extra dmg for a power build

Because clones/phantasms arent pets or minions.

If all you’re after are stats, then CoF gear is fine. Also, you can buy it from the TP for a few gold a piece.

What else is there to it than stats?
Looks?
Im nub 80 sry.

Yep just looks. And ascended eventualy (if you want it)

Here’s every armor in the game so you can start planning a look for yourself. Be aware you can mix and match pieces from different sets which often looks better imo than a full set

Thanks for the quick replies
One final question for anyone who bothers,
its the same question but about trinkets, rings backpieces etc.
Where do i get pow,prec,crit trinkets for endgame?
Thanks for clearing up some stuff for me

For exotics youll have to buy them off the TP for 4-6g each. Search “orichalcum ruby” However if youve been doing your daily and monthly then you should have enough laurels to buy an ascended amulet from a laurel vendor.

D/d, s/d, s/f, d/f. Anything but staff

You’re not dual wielding greatswords?

Steinpilz.5078:

Dalanor.5387:

With the hammer build you can apply perma protection which is a net 33% damage reduction which is waaaaay more superior to any toughness you can get from your gear.

What about mace/shield? 2x protection and faster than hammer.

Mace/shield is a lot less protection than hammer. Hammer poops protection out the autoattack. And it does really high DPS to boot

In 1 day youll be able to reset your traits for free anywhere in the world. So its basically down to what armor.

This is (imo) the most versatile build. Its optimal for zerging and roaming in WvW, isn’t too shabby for PVE either. Just change your traits to the meta hammer build for PVE and change all your skills to consecrations.

(There isnt a GM trait in honor because im using the new one that gives +3k health, which isn’t in the calculator yet)

I like it. A bit bulky, but thats ok. If you were an engineer though? Oh lawdy!

So the Sam build i posted but with exotics. Maybe zerker armor and melandru instead of cavalier and lyssa

No stay 0/30/30/10/0 exactly how it is in the link

Get speed/traveler runes, hydromancy sigils, a GS and Sw, and JI. If not, then dont complain

Any power build

For d/d deep SA because you wanna stealth as often as possible to use your bread and butter, backstab. You might as well get even more benefit from what youll already be doing

Here’s mine

You can be a scientist and name all your pets specimen A, specimen B, etc.

That was inspired! Thank you, and to everyone posting on the Asura ranger.

I have now made an Asura named Vivisectionist Tam. Her pet moa is Specimen B and all her pets will have lab style names. I bought her a skritt mini pet, an experiment she is particularly proud of. She is a tinkerer with genetics. Golems are so loud and.. overt. Imagine what one could do with the natural world which exists with little comment, birds and wolves and pigs just hanging about everywhere. They can be used to gather information or to assassinate a foe if only properly designed. She will of course join the Order of Whispers. She is not interested in bonding with these creatures, she is interested in controlling and redesigning them.

Heh, i got it from this thread

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/ranger/Tyrian-Taxonomy-An-Asuran-Guide-to-Pet-Names

Firstly, there is a huge difference between the combat here and the combat in WoW and most other MMOs, so if by common RPGs you mean common MMOs, then no, I’m afraid your skills -won’t- transfer over. A few things of note:
The combat in this game is much more action-oriented- you can avoid attacks by strafing and dodging as you fight, and using skills to counter enemy attacks. It’s more important to avoid attacks than to heal them.
There is no healer/tank/DPS trinity. Everyone is responsible for their own survival, for DPSing the enemy, for coordinating support and control to make fights more manageable.
Your success in this game depends largely on your skill as a player, rather than your gear.
I highly recommend giving this a read: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/players/GW2-Combat-system-101-Guide/first
In addition, GW2 is highly unlike WoW in many other respects. The game’s meant to be more of a journey- you take your time and enjoy the process of leveling, explore to your heart’s content, and when you hit 80, there aren’t tiers of raids and gear to chase one after the other. You pretty much find what you enjoy doing and do it.

Yes pistol whip evades for the second half (the flurry part) bit thats not why it’s good for PVE. Its good because you can drop black powder so youre badically invulnerable, and then auto attack with sword which is our only cleaving weapon. And if any mobs do get a hit or 2 in, the autoattack gives weakness so it won’t be that strong of a hit

Bow+GS is pretty good for PVE. Or dual swords and bow

Here is bow+GS

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/Warrior-Roaming-Video-GS-LB

30/30/0/10/0 is what is believed to be the new PVE meta with the new GM arms trait. Other than that trait everything is as grok says

You should make this video available to mobile users. And i think i may try something like this after the patch

Better all around stats than your build, and without using signets

Usually theyre out before noon

This is what im thinking of running post patch. Still very undecided on the GM air trait.

This is more or less the standard d/d

It relies a lot on stacking might through battle sigils and blast finishers in your fire fields

Wow, that was really helpful.
So, after the patch, that standard D/D build on your second link might change, too?

The secon one will almost for sure change. The main thing will be ferocity, so with the first link im trying to get some of that crit dmg back by going deep air magic. Plus fresh air and d/d is really good

The 15th. So 2 days

This is what im thinking of running post patch. Still very undecided on the GM air trait.

Things are almost definitely going to change in 2 days tho so i wouldnt worry about it till then

Thine overpowered oneshot shall bringeth upon the thief class the most severe of nerfings.

I do wish that it is not the case.

Regards,

PonyPonyRunRun

I am afraid that it must come to pass, for our Anet rulers are cruel overlords.

But let us refrain from this tomfoolery! Let us rejoice whilst we can, and marvel at thine oneshot.

Thine overpowered oneshot shall bringeth upon the thief class the most severe of nerfings.

Ok guys, myth buster time!

1. Healing signet base heals 392 per sec. This is getting nerfed to near 350 a sec.

2. Adrenal health is only 120 HPS, AT FULL ADRENALINE! That means all those stuns and immobilizes actually cost them some of their healing. You never are just sitting waiting on full adrenaline. Its basically VoR, except you have to trait for it, and it heals for less.

3. Dogged march only gives 3 sec of regen. Thats hardly what I’d call OP regeneration

So what do we have? A worse VoR, 392hps (but no burst healing) and 3 sec of regen whenever we get soft CCed

You can be a scientist and name all your pets specimen A, specimen B, etc.

Or you can be an old hermit living by himself in the jungle with nothing but his pet for company

Offhand sword or torch. If you want a stealthless build use Sw/p, its also the easiest weapon set to level with

Someone got upset being moaed ;D

It might be kinda rough for just $600. My laptop runs max settings at $1100

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/external?l=http%3A%2F%2Fgw2skills.net%2Feditor%2F%3FvYAQNAoYVlsMp8plOx7JsPNhs9onqQii7BTlUNVXhoC-zUCB4fAYLLakgIaEFIUBg5oFRjtNoIas6aYaXER1kCYrFAA-w

As an example

Because d/p will go into stealth a lot, why not benefit from that? If you don’t stealth a lot and just like black powder try Sw/p

Well its kinda weird. Is this for PVE or WvW. Also, why are you investing so much into acrobatics, with absolutely 0 in shadow arts? Especially with d/p?

Here’s a GS/hammer one

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Roaming-2handed-Meditation-build

Here’s a scepter/sword one

I dont think GS+Sw/f is very viable because youve gotta go pretty glassy to make it work

If you wanna sacrifice all your other healing, then sure

Anything from yishis

Whatever you were running pre patch will be more or less the same
