1st, I laughed real hard when I saw it

2nd, sheer curiousity, how many attempts did you have to make to achieve those 2?

Those were the only two I found, it takes time to find 1v1 fights in BIG maps and my add doesn’t help :p

You shouldn’t be surprised when people would rather blow them up as quick as possible rather than try to tank its mechanics.

Well I went out and did it, and killed a mesmar and a thief in EBay BL, was pretty interesting.

Found a guard I would of liked to 1v1 but he got a thief to help him. Pretty annoying, I wanted to do 1v1 but mostly everyone is running with a partner nowadays.

I pretty sure a lot of veteran players have given up doing them, unless they directly need more dragonite but I notice that these bosses aren’t attracting the required minimum number of people needed for them anymore, unless to guest to something like Blackgate.

Oh well, I guess it’s the kind of the thing that happens overtime when nothing new is added to the game, you can only kill something the same time, for the past 1.5 years, to a point.

[PvP] Down-state Ranger Pet healing

Is it me or does it seem really fair for a ranger pet to infinity heal even when you interrupt or kill it, it will always go back and heal. Needs a revamp to match-up with everyone else’s downstate limitation.

I think when they added the account bound magic find, they lowered the possibility factor of its usage.

It used to be that every 100% increased your looting odds by 1/10… They probably doubled that to give an overall illusion that the more magic find looks helpful but really is just providing you the same rolls pre-update.

I also find on average I’ll find one exotic in the first hour daily and that’ll be it, no matter how much longer I play.

Gemstore prices are a rip off.

in Black Lion Trading Co

Posted by: Charak.9761

Charak.9761

Its NOT about how they want you to buy these items with money, it’s about the fact that the pricing is not matching up with the current inflation.

Last I checked, the price of a gem has not changed.

pre-pav 800 gems was 25g. Now its 67g. Its just not justifiable now to keep charging 800 gems for minor things. Even a blc key is now 10g.

[PvE]Why do YOU dislike Rangers in dungeons?

in Profession Balance

Posted by: Charak.9761

Charak.9761

I only like Ranger’s when they’re using the proper things.

Spotter (gets me up to the 99% crit chance cap)

Frost Spirit. 7% extra damage is nice on top of all other damage boosts

Extra Fury/Blast Finisher Might from Warhorn.

Decent Vulnerability

and a Jungle Stalker for 5 stacks of party wide Might

This… And if a ranger joins my group with a bow equipped. They are insta booted.

Really? You kick a RANGER because he uses ranged weapons? It’s like saying i’ll kick a thief if he uses daggers.

Rangers aren’t people who use range weapons, they are watchers of the wild in the open range. Like this guy

Its already been tested they have the lowest dps of all 8 classes, and typically most them still use bows when melee weapons are stronger

Though I do like the water fields and bonus dmg spirits, its counter intuitive to bring one if you want fast clears.

[Solo-Roam] 60 ranks in 12hrs

Charak.9761

I’ll clarify that it is harder to zerg on my server now, due to some of the guilds that were helping us here beforehand had transferred off to BG pre-season. Plus generally zerging happens around primetime, whereas solo-roaming during oceanic, there’s almost no one on.

So this was interesting last night… apparently if you time the JI perfectly as an enemy goes through a keep/tower door, you will port inside.

[Solo-Roam] 60 ranks in 12hrs

in WvW

Posted by: Charak.9761

Charak.9761

I just wanted to make this thread to give my views on the things I encountered last night when I was solo-roaming on my Guardian with my birthday booster, 12hrs straight as to not waste the buff

1. It is never worth it to fight people. As soon as you kill someone, they become a future problem for you. They aren’t worth much wxp and waste a lot of time. I notice certain people I’ve killed, start stalking me and trying to counter my routes. That, in my opinion, is pretty sad when I see someone wasting their time to do so, I gained 3 ranks, while you’ve been sitting in that camp… makes sense.

2. It is so much nicer to be mid-lower tier than the top wvw servers, you don’t have to worry about not having the 25% wxp outmanned buff. I never go into EB when solo-roaming.

3. I try to do my routes during downtime, to minimize the counter plays. Certain players will start defending their camps near 4mins to ppt, so its your move to take camps out of their way or trick them to go to a different camp.

4. Try your hardest to not be scouted, it sucks when people see you heading somewhere, because then they call their friends and you gotta do the whole fighting thing. You’re better off turning around or cutting across the map, then dealing with them, some people have issues.

5. I can clear camps in 15 seconds flat, and that’s on purpose. The quicker the camps get cleared, the sooner the bar is filling up before swords show them where you are. I also use traveler runes so I don’t need to carry retreat/save yourselves. What really throws me is if a dolyak spawns mid-capture, really slows you down and draws to much attention. I’ve lost camps I could of captured easily if it wasn’t for those yaks.

6. Be careful not to get frustrated, always keep a calm mind, otherwise you start making mistakes, getting killed, and getting counter-routed when you keep pushing for something. Don’t waste time, always be on the move, get-in, cap, get-out immediately.

My guardian solo-roam builds gets me killed by engis/warriors, its unavoidable and I will never win those fights unless the people controlling those classes are really bad.

Most of the time its easier to take certain paths so enemies can’t predict your movement. I miss my executioner costume charge, I got alot of roaming wxp with the increased speed from that.

Turn off the GW2 Music when streaming/recording. The bots are mostly aiming at the music.

I think people are confused as to why people use youtube for their videos. You can monetize your videos now more easily. Most sites dont offer to pay you for your video uploads.

Ranger is more of a dps utility (do more damage)

Except rangers have the lowest dps of all classes atm. Thats why no one likes them in PvE.
