perhaps an option to use badges of honor for wvw repairs.
i think this is working as intended.
not an exploit.
no need to be fixed.
This should have been in since beta, the tool tips are to be honest a joke. The same goes with the stat read out on the character page it would be nice to see everything a stat does and how it affects the charater
i was under the impression that after launch the skills / traits description would be more detailed.
i am still waiting.
Boss Fights, No healing class, is there any point to this?
in Suggestions
Posted by: Deimos Tel Arin.7391
hey, when you fight the cyber demon in doom episode 2 do you have a dedicated healing class?
disagree.
do not remove wvw from 100% world completion.
i disagree.
them skills are fine as they are now.
no need to split them into pvp or pve.
Introduction:
Imagine we have an Axe, that can freely hot swap (while out of combat) its:
Skin into either AC, COF or HOTW, etc
Stat into Rampager, Berserker, Soldier, etc
Sigil into Sigil of Accuracy, Sigil of Leeching, etc
Imagine again, if we can do it for every piece of equipment we own.
Now, it would be very awesome, yes?
Say hello to the SMART GEAR system!
Origin:
Inspired by my original “Smart Armor System” in the original Guild Wars
http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/smart-armor-system-v3-0-t10071643.html
Idea:
Able to switch the “Skins (Trinket Icons)”, “Prefix (Insignia)” and “Suffix (Armor Runes, Weapon Sigils)” of equipment after “absorbing” them.
Armor: Skins, Prefix (Insignia), Suffix (Armor Runes)
Weapons: Skins, Prefix (Insignia), Suffix (Weapon Sigils)
Trinkets: Icons, Prefix (1st Ascended Stats), Suffix (2nd Ascended Stats), Infusion
Execution:
Can only change the Skins & Stats while not in combat.
Example:
[Insignia][V] [Skin][V] of [Rune][V]
Click on the [V] to bring down a list of unlocked items.
Acquisition
Complete long chain of personal SMART GEAR quest.
Use Transmutation Crystal to unlock an item.
Example
Berserker’s Svanir Chestguard of Dwayna
Use 5 Transmutation Crystal to unlock:
Rampager’s Insignia
Cleric’s Insignia
Soldier’s Insignia
Superior Rune of Melandru
Superior Rune of Dolyak
[Insignia][V] [Skin][V] of [Rune][V]
Insignia have 4 choices: Berserker, Rampager, Cleric, Soldier
Skin have 1 choice: Svanir
Rune have 3 choices: Dwayna, Melandru, Dolyak
Each armor piece has 3 “variables” mainly “Skin”, “Insignia (Stats)” and “Runes”.
These 3 “variables” can be freely changed after unlocking them.
Pros:
Guild Wars 2 the first to have such an unique equipment system.
Promotes “gotta get them all” game play.
Makes things very convenient for players.
Most people will be more likely to pay real dollars for convenience.
Frees up lots and lots of inventory space.
No need for equipment wardrobes anymore.
Optional.
Cons:
None.
(edited by Deimos Tel Arin.7391)
no.
no mounts in WvW.
agree .
this would be a nice convenient change.
disagree.
WvW stays in 100% map completion
errr too long did not read but basically, are you trying to share with us, that the “best” stats combination is:
main: power
minor: toughness, vitality
????
thus, so is this the reason why anet made armor pieces with these stats expensive and not craft-able?
i.e.
- 42k karma per piece in front of arah dungoen.
- almost 400 badges of honor per armor piece / weapon in WvW for level 80 exotics.
no one cares.
i made several similar topics about this but they all get buried.
divinity reach has an asuran portal leading to fields of ruins, ebonhawk base.
going one map north leads to blazeridge stepps which is home of the shatterer.
not useless.
errr i think it is a valid tactic.
the wvw eb jumping puzzle chest rewards siege weapons blue prints.
to deprive enemies of that is legit yes?
deng it. other stats dun matter hur?
i support the idea for more weapons.
as for this one:
Spears(to use outside of water)
(Guardian, Warrior, Thief, Elementalist, Ranger)
just call them “Pole Arms”
gold dots on map and mini map please!
warrior.
warrior has
- heavy armor
- highest health pool
no other professions has that.
guardian
- heavy armor
- lowest health pool
engineer, ranger
- medium armor
- medium health pool
thief – medium armor, lowest health pool
mesmer – light armor, medium health pool
necromancer – light armor, highest health pool
elementalist – light armor, lowest health pool
In PvE / WvW I think the “Shaman” Insignia / Prefix stats gives
Main: Vitality
Minor: Healing Power, Condition Damage
Why we cannot craft Level 80 exotic weapons / armor pieces with the “Shaman” Insignia / Prefix ???
I also noticed that we cannot craft Level 80 exotic weapons / armor pieces with the [Main: Power, Minor: Toughness, Vitality] Insignia / Prefix.
Why ???
No one else cares?
you can buy ectos via the trading post.
you are not required to do a 100% world completion.
it is optional.
warriors are fine.
warriors have
- heavy armor
- high health pool
you can’t find that combination any where else.
guardians – heavy armor, low health
engineer, ranger – medium armor, medium health
thief – medium armor, low health
necro – light armor, high health
mesmer – light armor, medium health
ele – light armor, low health
3. When reviving another player do not stop halfway through the revive and run off because you got distracted.
i disagree.
i am not staying to be killed if the enemy players are pounding on me.
my warrior can only tank so much damage before i need to roll away and heal.
if that is true then it is rather ridiculous since them turrets is working as intended.
play your alternate characters until u reach 14/15 then kill an undead in orr.
dun kill undead first.
not fair to call everyone who uses this method botting.
what if i am playing guild wars 2 in a window, i have my engineer set up some turrets in some relatively safe place then then i proceed to read some manga in a web browser.
then occasionally checking the guild wars 2 window for guild chats and see how the turrets are doing. collecting loot if any.
surely this is not considered as botting?
ok i completed my monthly survivor achievement 100,000 / 100,000 exp earned without dying.
then it became this
please fix before october ends yar
thanks !!!
also, besides armor and weapons, i also heard that some sigils / runes cannot be crafted.
i.e.
superior sigil of leeching
superior runes of dolyak
why ?? ???
warhorn’s charge + signet of rage = +33% move speed all the time
doing daily and monthly achievements.
exploring the world.
buying gems with silvers.
From here:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mighty#Prefixes
“Triple attribute – Items with the following affixes provide a bonus to 3 attributes:”
Prefix | Attributes (Main, Minor, Minor)
Berserker’s | Power, Precision, Critical Damage
Carrion | Condition Damage, Power, Vitality
Cleric’s | Healing Power, Power, Toughness
Explorer’s | Magic Find, Power, Precision
Knight’s | Toughness, Power, Precision
Magi | Healing Power, Precision, Vitality
Rabid | Condition Damage, Precision, Toughness
Rampager’s | Precision, Condition Damage, Power
Shaman’s | Condition Damage, Healing Power, Vitality
Soldier’s | Power, Toughness, Vitality
Traveler’s | Power, Condition Damage, Magic Find
Valkyrie | Power, Critical Damage, Vitality
If we re-arrange them based on their main attribute we get:
Prefix | Attributes (Main, Minor, Minor)
Berserker’s | Power, Precision, Critical Damage
Soldier’s | Power, Toughness, Vitality
Traveler’s | Power, Condition Damage, Magic Find
Valkyrie | Power, Critical Damage, Vitality
Carrion | Condition Damage, Power, Vitality
Rabid | Condition Damage, Precision, Toughness
Shaman’s | Condition Damage, Healing Power, Vitality
Cleric’s | Healing Power, Power, Toughness
Magi | Healing Power, Precision, Vitality
Explorer’s | Magic Find, Power, Precision
Knight’s | Toughness, Power, Precision
Rampager’s | Precision, Condition Damage, Power
Thus we can see that some “main attributes” have more “choices” than others:
Power = 4
Condition damage = 3
Healing Power = 2
Magic Find, Toughness, Precision = 1
Also, I discovered that not all are easily available in PvE and a huge grind is required for those stats combination. Why?
For example, Main: Power Minor: Toughness, Vitality exotic sets only exists in karma vendors in front of Arah Dungeon at 42k per piece, or in WvW at 396 Badges of Honor per piece. Why we cannot craft “Main: Power Minor: Toughness, Vitality exotic sets” ????
What if players wanted these attributes instead?
Attributes (Main – Minor, Minor)*
Precision – Power, Vitality
Precision – Power, Toughness
Condition Damage – Power, Precision
Vitality – Power, Toughness
Toughness – Power, Vitality
etc
They can’t because those stats combination do not exist! Why?
well, if this is implemented.
i want marriage between npcs. not players.
no to healer profession.
learn to heal yourselves.
dodge, avoid damage more.
i think you are supposed to dodge those rapid attacks.
no gold. just silvers.
i’m poor. spent all silvers on gems.
no, blind is working as intended.
no change.
you do not use blind to shut down your opponents.
you use blind to mess up their combos / powerful attacks.
thanks !!!
also please do make sure to ban the players who bought gold from gold sellers !!!
well i have
main:
male human level 80 warrior
alternates:
male charr level 10 guardian
female silvari level 7 ranger
female human level 6 mesmer
female human level 5 thief
female asura level 6 engineer
female norn level 4 necromancer
female silvari level 0 elementalist (have not created yet, empty character slot)
i play my alternates after daily achievement resets, easier to progress the “monster type kill variety” daily achievement this way.
logging in everyday to complete daily achievement, monthly achievement etc.
saving up more silvers, buying gems with silvers when the price is right etc.
no mounts.
but if there are mounts. then make them cost very expensive.
a luxury for those who can afford it.
maybe 8000 gems or even higher. (usd100 equivalent)
that would shut them up i guess.
at least anet gets the monies from those who are willing to splurge on gems.
well, no mounts.
also, stats with main attribute “vitality” cannot be found in PvE at all!
i.e.
main: vitality
minor: other 2 combinations
does this mean anet does not want our characters to have more health in the game? want us to dodge roll more often?
Actually, the set you are looking for can be bought from a Karma vendor in front of Arah. At least the light armor I looked at had those stats. There is also Invader armor which you get through WvW.
^ but do WvW armor have exotic versions?
… Have you looked at the vendors? Yes, they have exotic versions. Those have to be purchased using Badges of Honor, I believe 300 per piece. The karma vendor in front of Arah also sells exotic versions.
errr embarrassed my level 80 warrior has not physically reached arah yet. >.<
so u r telling me that armor with these stats:
main: power
minor: vitality, toughness
level 80 exotic armor set exists in gw2 via karma vendors in front of arah dungeon as well as in WvW via 300 badges per armor piece? O_O
ooow okies thanks for sharing! i need to check them out then!
but well, the fact still remains that many other types of stats combination are not available in the game right?
i mean if i want a set like this:
main: Healing Power
minor: Power, vitality
i can’t because it is not available in the game yet.
Caiden.9074Uhm, I hate to point out your illogical anger here, but if you want Power/Toughness/Vit on armor/weapons…the prefix is called Valkyrie. Takes literally 5 minutes of looking around to get the stats you want.
errrr are you sure that prefix exists in PvE? if it does exist then i must apologize for my error! >.<
because so far i have only referred to the official wiki:
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Mighty#Prefixes
these are my findings based on the info found in the official wiki:
“Triple attribute – Items with the following affixes provide a bonus to 3 attributes:”
Prefix | Attributes (Main, Minor, Minor)
Berserker’s | Power, Precision, Critical Damage
Carrion | Condition Damage, Power, Vitality
Cleric’s | Healing Power, Power, Toughness
Explorer’s | Magic Find, Power, Precision
Knight’s | Toughness, Power, Precision
Magi | Healing Power, Precision, Vitality
Rabid | Condition Damage, Precision, Toughness
Rampager’s | Precision, Condition Damage, Power
Shaman’s | Condition Damage, Healing Power, Vitality
Soldier’s | Power, Toughness, Vitality
Traveler’s | Power, Condition Damage, Magic Find
Valkyrie | Power, Critical Damage, VitalityIf we re-arrange them based on their main attribute we get:
Prefix | Attributes (Main, Minor, Minor)
Berserker’s | Power, Precision, Critical Damage
Soldier’s | Power, Toughness, Vitality
Traveler’s | Power, Condition Damage, Magic Find
Valkyrie | Power, Critical Damage, VitalityCarrion | Condition Damage, Power, Vitality
Rabid | Condition Damage, Precision, Toughness
Shaman’s | Condition Damage, Healing Power, VitalityCleric’s | Healing Power, Power, Toughness
Magi | Healing Power, Precision, VitalityExplorer’s | Magic Find, Power, Precision
Knight’s | Toughness, Power, Precision
Rampager’s | Precision, Condition Damage, Power
Thus we can see that some main attributes have more prefixes than others:
Power = 4
Condition damage = 3
Healing power = 2
Magic find, toughness, precision = 1
based on the wiki,
Valkyrie | Power, Critical Damage, Vitality
Valkyrie is:
Main = Power
Minor = Critical Damage, Vitality
errr are you saying in PvE, Valkyrie is
Main = Power
Minor = Toughness, Vitality
???? O_O
well, they are in game and can be used till you get more expensive upgrades. Why bother removing them? Just ignore.
well i am keeping them and feeding them to Zommoros.
he gives me nice gems (jewelery crafting materials) in return.
actually my main concern is that there are not enough prefixes available in PvE.
players are forced into certain builds due to lack of prefixes availability and variety in PvE.

^ but do WvW armor have exotic versions?
i think most of the people who are complaining are the ones who only focus on 1/3 of gw2. the pve 1/3 part.
gw2 is 3 games in one
1. PvE – Elder Scrolls: Skyrim with friends and strangers
2. WvW – Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dynasty Warriors
3. sPvP – Team Fortress 2: Steam Punk Swords & Sorcery Style
i expect future expansions / DLCs to open up a lot more of the world map, and adding a huge chunk of the southern continents of Tyria (the world / planet of gw2)
i am eager to explore elona, cantha, etc again !!!
i have mentioned this before but it seems like no one cares:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Need-MOAR-Prefixes-Insignias-Craftable-too
no one bothers replying on such topics. why?
Well, it’s a question of degree I think. If the rate you can get it through official channels is reasonably close to illegal channels, or rather, if it’s enough to get a basket of typical “stuff” in-game, then that’s going to tip the scale for the average punter. They’ll swallow a bit of a loss for the ease of getting it and to ease their moral conscience.
But if there are so many bots in the game as people are reporting, then the scales aren’t being tipped at the moment, and it looks like people are preferring to buy Gold illegally for the moment.
well i believe that in due course, anet will take action.
i.e.
- banning botters
- banning gold sellers
- banning people who bought gold from gold sellers
errr we just have to wait and see?
they give different stats that can’t be obtained any other way.
“can’t be obtained any other way because at the moment there is no “soldier’s” prefix in PvE !!!
doesn’t this fact alone bother you people at all?
say for example, i want armor / weapon pieces with the soldier’s prefix.
main: power
minor: toughness, vitality
i can’t because there is no such prefix in PvE at the moment.
this is unacceptable.
well, for me at least.
