Guild Wars 2

Wow iris, ty for promoting this, actually lowered my blood pressure from this ludicrous discussion, haha.
This guy even took 14/14/14/14/14 serious and goes to correct it to 15 15 15 15 10, after that he calls 0 20 0 30 20 a standard d/d build, my mind is once again blown, just stop please save me the headache, since my ele and warrior are undying lol.

Dat necro thou, oh blake what must we do with thy….

I dont know how many infractions i got, enough for an hour flood control and no pm privileges lol.
Also my signature went on hiatus apparantly.

Toughness>vitality>healing power, I would avoid investing in healing power.

Experienced players that are running the right build, are familiar with their class’s mechanics and the game mechanics are able to do most, If not all PVE content in glass cannon gear.

If we’re talking about WVW or PVP the priority in defensive stats stays the same but you obviously wouldn’t want to run full glass cannon unless you want to play a s/x burst build.

Vit>tough>*

Worst LFM, or best LFM?

Is the fact that there are two people in the group mean that I captured something special?

Craigslist probably lacked hot guys due to low demand.

Fast car david is the best macho in guild wars, get it right you hotkeying elitists!
All hail the lord and saviour!

Well if your team goes into a dungeon for the first time then it never hurts to bring some healing. I used to run a full clerics D/D build, add in 4 zerker warriors. Didn’t need to stop dps to rez even once throughout the dungeon run. This meant that the zerker warriors could all focus on what they were best at, might stacking and zerking while I would weave through atunements healing, booning and CCing mobs.

4 zerker warriors 1 clerics d/d ele? Now i’ve seen it all, i seriously hope you dont actually think you kept them alive lol, what a waste. And no warriors are not best at “zerking” and “used to” probably before feature patch: Warriors weren’t as good at group stacking might either if they also had super leet dps. And guess what? Ele did it better aswell just as how ele does better “zerking” as you described.
Once again “standard d/d build” is not good “Dps” all traits are literally picked for survival

You’re not carrying anyone in a “healing build” please stop it’s hurting my eyes.

Question no. 1:
Have you ever been to HotW with 4 warriors who were all pure zerker?

Question no. 2:
Do you have an elementalist with maxxed out healing power?

Also since your reply makes you seem uneducated as to what the situation was like in that dungeon with the 4 zerker warriors and me full clerics D/D build (not a ‘healer build’ but a standard D/D build with clerics gear). I will tell you what I remember from that particular dungeon run:
1. there was no stacking anywhere.
2. This was well over a year ago, elementalist healing wasn’t nerfed as badly as it is now.
3. 2 of the 4 zerker warriors claimed they could stack 25 might permanently.
4. the run was very fast, not sure about the exact time though.

in hindsight my comment about something that happened a year ago is completely outdated for this particular thread
sorry for that.

The warriors would not need a healer, asuming they dodged, hell it could’ve been easily solo’d if the bosses werent so borderline boring (failed to state path).

Full healing power is a waste your dps will be low as hell.
Or do you need healing power to do cc? Lol.
If my comment makes me seem uneducated why the kitten are you advocating healing builds? Let me be the judge of my actions on this.
Sorry but over a year ago we stacked, the run was very fast, well once again no path stated not that it matters, it coudln’t have been super fast in that comp anyway. Once again “standard d/d build” is not good “Dps” all traits are literally picked for survival.

No really even a 14/14/14/14/14 build can deal more damage than 0 10 0 30 30.

I’m reading this conversation and Im just thinking is quite lamentable that everything apart form DPS is pointless in this game. Reads like a complete failure in game design.

Nowhere did it say everything but dps is pointless, however ancient trinity aka tank heal dps is not part of guild wars as it is an action game!!!!

Also do realise the subject is Dungeons.

Guild Wars 2 features no traditional Trinity, everyone in the dungeon will be playing DPS, while class dictates your role (ex: you’re mesmer the party will expect reflects from you), in your friend’s list you can find the Group Finder for every dungeon and fractals. Ofcourse you’re gonna have to learn it, but it isn’t rocket science the dungeons are fairly easy when you know them and can be easily solo’d by an experienced player.

I suggest you ship over to the dungeon forum and look around a bit.
And perhaps look for appropriate dungeon builds and such, maybe a video or two can’t hurt either, good luck.

Edit: Most puggers prefer 80’s in their parties.

General Tips:
Learn to utilize Dodges and Evades, this is an Action game treat it as such.
If somethings unclear, don’t be a sinner and shoot the sin.
There are always those who know more and better
There’s a huge ton of info on these forums free for you to utilize.
Berserker’s is not an exploit.

There is no harm in hoping. We’re still having our fun in the process.

Sure, there’s no harm. But shouldn’t you be a bit more realistic? Hoping for unicorns in real life hasn’t got anyone anywhere.

You’re wrong, North korea has a cave full of unicorns, the fact ya all haven’t seen them yet is cause North Korea is the one and only blessed country FACT. (Pic4proof)

On a more serious note, seems like this is actually lifting off, so i’m just gonna wish ya’ll good luck!

Probably publisher pressure, alot in this game was rushed and unfinished, the game left beta in a very buggy state as a result of it.

Besides i heard we get to fight thaizan in Dark souls 3.

Chop the head of a chicken on a board with squares each square a dungeon name, wherever it stops, Voila.

Not only is it real RNG, it’s probably even more interesting to watch than a dungeon based tournament, now i’m not saying Tpvp is fun to watch, but then again im just a cynical kitten.

If you were running div runes you were never a zerker, ooh snap, light me on fire!

um…nah.

Ferocity nerf +strength runes.

ok noted, my bad i just didn’t notice. thanks.

um …. YA.

The OP is the wolf in sheeps clothing, leading our lambs to the slaughter! Stop him before the thread of prophecy has been severed!!

Not sure what all these trolls are saying but It’s fixed!! this video demonstrates it at 1:40.

Mehh i think at least 20% can solo lupi by now, but maybe thats just due to me not finding it a challenge anymore, no but honestly most lupi soloers get carried by warrior anyway.

I thought waiting for end game content was end game content?
Jeez OP be more appreciative of your whole of nothingness, cause somewhere in some place they ain’t even got food!

Clumsy.6257:

Fafnir.5124:

people solo arah all the time. Do you really think they cant solo other dungeons. Just arah is most rewarding with 60-120g per completion

Which arah path are you charging 30g per slot for? O.o

Probably path 5

Anyhow: OT
I don’t think this is what the game needs, as spoj said would be far too easy, besides soloing dungeons got old 1 year ago :sleep:

^ 0/10 for not keeping up the trend!! Muhaha

Old pic, same parts: the mighty Train Of Thought

Celestial never was the best gear for ele.
How can something be the best if you haven’t even told us what the purpose for it is?
What kind of build are you running? If ascended armor meant you were going to fotm, full zerker is the best, then again going d/f may be wiser there. If it’s strictly for wvw mixed stats are better.

Celestial pvp necklace is a different story in a specific build yes.

WillTehElfMan.5408:

Mattmatt.4962:

Sorry Willtehelfman, but your build is total garbage.

You know, instead of calling my build total garbage, you could at least share what you think is wrong with it, you know, like a civilized human being…

Right, first off im gonna completely ignore gear choice and runesets.
what is your build supposed to do is it for PvE PvP or WvW?
Let’s start of with what it doesn’t do
[Traits]
*Damage: you went deep into fire yet you failed to take any offensive traits, in air you went for superspeed which is fairly useless even more so considering you’re not even using fresh air.
*Survivability: you took final shielding and earths embrace, of which both, won’t make you harder to take down, also completly ended up wasting your fire grandmaster.
*Condition: it almost looks like you went for some random hybrid once again picking trivial/bad majors.

Honestly this whole build looks like trait points were randomly thrown around by an inexperienced player who didn’t really know where he/she was going and or looked into alternatives for a more efficient approach because right now there is no synergy to be found. You can throw as much crit dmg on your ele as you want, without damage modifiers you’re not going to reach anything spectacular.

Verdict:
Random stuff thrown around, no synergy. A huge blindfire..
Your build is outclassed by all current popular builds, so why take yours?

I’d go with something like this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFQQJAoYn0HSRD23AeuBBiKYCQoVLyEpJCUc5QA-TBiAABE4ADma/BuU+pmSQAeAAqqnAT1fG5EAEA4AY4ACPcQKg8kGB-e

seems solid, you’re good to go. with my build nerfed by the feature pack i think this is the new optimum.

1 unspent trait point says that wasn’t even thought through.
i would highly suggest the build in my Signature.

you don’t need anything besides your weapon skills as warrior, all skips can be done without engaging combat. Sword/warhorn(hat trick shield/OHSword) Greatsword.

for dungeons, nothing but berserker, WvW mixed.

honestly i would just suggest getting a full set of Ascended berserker armor and getting normal exotic gear for WvW as it is more versatile to switch between stats.

Wow, would you mind giving me your Eternity perhaps?
Because im currently collecting those!

^ those are not photoshop, rather than transmuted from wardrobe

Nope color coding revealed otherwise, transmuted eternities would not have legendary color code but rather white/blue/green/rare/exotic/ascended.

And OP you’re missing Twilight and Sunrise, i call false bingo Harrharr!

It’s fine, just retaliate properly.

Burning is very important and helps you alot fighting them.
your auras: don’t blow them all at once, and dont blow your control skills all at once.
they usually hit and run, so know when they strike and punish them (after the evade frames). eventually you’ll win.

Edit additional tips: fully landing drake’s breath is worth it.
Burning speed against a (wall/ledge/uneven ground) whilst the thief lunges striking your newly acquired evade frames and hitting the thief hard when he comes out of his lunge could cost him the fight imediatly, be creative a strong micro play is very effective rocks, walls ledges you name it, what cannot hit you will never kill you… because abusing out of the box is legit.

except, my comment wasn’t a complaint. nor do you understand my username.

Blaziken used Sky Uppercut.

At least you can quit the game whilst looking good.

your username is fitting for an elementalist player

Not sure what you’re trying to say with that.

Speedrun pugs never happen anyways.
It’s a trap!

I dont agree with equipping arcane shield at the golem at all. Take signet of fire. I like to open the fight, i do this with swirls → might stack. From there whoever reflects takes over

Want to become bikini babe!

A wild Para-Shuffling Dragonite appears.

thats pretty much what i said, if these slackers just trained their dratinis…

pff casuals.

Lmfao, we got a high roller over here. imo this is fairly funny.

Probably this, it took long, it was an incredibly stupid idea,
i was deprived of a nights sleep and had to get recording software with my sleepy head
which i dow- bought, ofcourse we don’t do illegal stuff.
i guess you could call it masochistic.
but in the end, LOL.

You could still see them on the world map as blue dots, however updated less frequently, rather than real time.

You could, megaserver did change that.

I too agree, and have personally mentored more people than i can remember, from soloing to recommending builds.

Well i got a picture at 80, im sure it qualifies. #rekkingstuff@Zingo

I always score bingo’s
