Guild Wars 2

Dinny.5310:

While the actual quality/standard of your work is high, I must make a few comments:

- With those prices, you’re very unlikely to see very many commissions (from these forums here, anyway). I know of a handful of comparable artists who offer colored fullbodies in the $30 – $40 price range.

- What’s up with the attachment/your “Roster 1” pic? Basically, do you plan on doing all of your commissions using a pre-prepared base? Because that would have some unfortunate implications for anyone wanting charr or asura out there.

EDIT: And $40 extra for a simple background is basically lunacy. I can understand $60 for a single character with high technical skill and detail, but… I could create a background similar to any one of the ones featured on your DeviantART account with relative ease.

Thank you for the honest feedback. I appreciate it. I would be willing to do $30 – $40 for a linart and colors, I guess, depending on the complexity of the art.

Nope, those are just examples. I will do everything from scratch. Especially for the Asuran’s and the Charr requests. I won’t use a base for the commissions.

Hello,

I am on my way to applying as a games artist and while I’m waiting, I have no other source of income aside from what I’ve saved in my last day job. (I quit because I wanted to pursue my dreams.) Now I need your help for support in the next few weeks while I wait for responses on my application.

I am open for character commissions for $30 – $100 (depending on the complexity of what you want drawn). I will need some screenshots and the pose you may want your characters to be in. I may ask for a 50% down payment before I begin and the other 50% upon delivery of the digital file. It takes me two days to finish a full painting (hey, I play just like you So if I don’t get paid after I worked hard on a painting for two days, that’s a lot of lost time for me so I hope you understand. I promise to deliver and you have nothing to worry about, as a starving artist, all I have is my reputation and I am very careful about it.

$30- $40 – Simple painted character
$60.00 – Character with simple background.

All payments will be done on Paypal.

All of this will be done in a painted style so I can further enhance my skills in this style. The attachment is just a sample and I will not use any base to draw your character. Asuran’s and Charr are welcome. The rest of my gallery can be seen in this link:

You could check Nemesis’s Thread for the proper use of Axe, he is doing 5k-6k damage with it, which is awesome for a Necromancer plus condition damage.

This is really amazing. Tested it a few times on PVE, although I have yet to complete the gear. I could see the potential in it.

Hallo! I think the problem stems from you trying to play another profession as if you are trying to playing another. I started with a necromancer and really enjoyed how it can decimate 6-7 foes with AOE in PVE while I ignore the damage. Leveling is so fast because I tag everything. I like the mindset that I am the master of death and I can do most dynamic events alone. When I started my thief I find it does great damage 1 v 1 and I find that if I engage more than 3, I cannot dodge enough to mitigate the damage. This too me is a problem because I’m not used to killing mobs one by one and makes leveling feels slower to me.

I also played a guardian and it feels too easy to me. Which bored me quickly. In the end what I’m saying is, every profession is different. Find the strengths of the class. If you want single target burst damage. I think that would be a bit hard to achieve with Necro. But it can be done with a dagger. Oh, and master DeathShroud.

I’ve redone it so it looks like the real Shadow Fiend minion in the game. Here it is:

Lol! Thank you.

Thank you! I’m glad you like it! I’m thinking of polishing it more this holidays to make it better.

Thank you! She rarely plays games, but when she does, she’s so into it. Loving Guild Wars 2 so much! She ends up teaching me all the mechanics of the game.

Lawl! The second one killed me hahaha

Wow! This is really good!

I love this! You got the style and feel of GW2 with it.

My girlfriend has been playing her Necromancer a lot these days ever since I brought her her Guild Wars 2 game. Sometimes I wonder if she loves her minions more than me these days. So last weekend I did this for her.

It’s not just the knockdown spamming, I was getting slaughtered with health drain and for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out where it was coming from. It kept draining after I used a skill to get rid of “conditions”. I also encountered at least 5 bandits who would heal faster than I could inflict damage.

These above issues were in Kessex Hills, all post update and in an area where I’ve had very little problems prior to the update.

I’ll find something else to occupy my gaming time while this is resolved by the devs.

This happened to me a lot, Healing and removing conditions will not work coz as soon as yuo do that they will stack 12 stack of bleeds and your life will drain harder than before.

Thank you awesome people for the answers and suggestions. I will do a lot of experimentation on the builds and play styles you suggested. One thought that I haven’t occurred to me is using DS more. So I’ll probably do that. Keep the posts coming and know that. I will be reareading this thread a lot and find out what works for me. Again, thank you for the input. Have an awesome day!

Hi Rikan here,

I’ve been playing my necro up to level 12 and have really been enjoying it. I tested the other weapons and skills that goes with those and have decided that I love daggers. Attacking with blazing fast attacks and lifedrain is really fun coupled with Well of Suffering. I know that I still have a lot to learn, but I would just like to ask. What is the best dagger build that will allow my toon to survive melee battles in PVE and also PVP?

Thanks in advance
