Guild Wars 2

Yea, was a joke, as obviously I’m in a dungeon :p

This is more of a PvE smashing build (would probably be good in wvw too though) because with 25 stacks of accuracy, I can hit 96% crit and 109% crit damage… with wells, marks, and piercing Life Blasts, I can inflict quite a lot of damage on quite a lot of mobs in very little time. Oh, also, I’m using Withering Precision in the Curses line, and I can maintain weakness with a LOT of uptime. So, that helps with the glass cannon type of build, and also helps your group survive.

Either way, I’m enjoying it

Wait, wait… your entire basis for saying story mode is too hard is because you can’t beat it with 3 people?

If whoever zoned in leaves the party, everyone is booted. That’s how he did it.

Spec is 10/30/0/0/30 and gear is all power/crit/crit dmg (85%+ crit and 100%+ crit dmg)… @Mathemagician: I also stack vulnerability like mad in this build, so even solo, I can get to those numbers, but yea, having people that know how to play to run with? Priceless.

Maybe that was me hitting you.

Edit: also hitting 5k+ life blasts

I can currently hit Life Blasts for 4.5k – 5k every second or so… and I should want 5 seconds of block instead? OK.

Maybe you should go play a mesmer… oh wait you’ve said you don’t like necro, mesmer, engineer, guardian and elementalist in some of your other posts. Why do you play again?

Main point of axe is you’re applying Vulnerability to every mob you touch (damage is mediocre but if you’re in a power/crit DS build you’re not auto attacking much). I don’t go 30 in Spite for 2 reasons – 1) it’s really only +10% dmg for mob below 50% hp (it’ll get fixed though), and 2) If I’m stacking crit mainly, crit dmg is my next highest source of dmg.

I mean, I’m stacking power/crit/crit dmg, but if I could sacrifice some power for more crit if I could. I’m sitting at 84% crit 106% crit damage pretty much always in a 10/30/0/0/30 build. And Karandor is so right, wells are SO powerful in a power/crit build.

Yea, “none” was kind of my point… you use Plague underwater or you don’t use an elite skill… lame.

Pick one: walk animation or underwater animation, cuz they can only do one at a time apparently.

You’d think they’d at least patch the misspelled bone minion thing (if you target it it says “explodes on commnad”).

You can look in your combat log and see that it didn’t tick for 5.2k on the last tick. It’s most certainly all the ticks added up (look in your combat log). Also, Phamtrinli, I run pretty much that same build with the same runes/traits except I traded out my last eagle rune for another + prec. rune (Rata Sum). 80%+ crit and 100%+ crit damage can be fun.

Al Zheimer.2305:

(not helped by the headache-inducing camera that bounces around madly whenever you pass near some object).

People actually play with camera shake enabled? Interesting.

TBH it’s more for the utility of applying vulnerability to everything with life blast and therefore doing decent damage while also being a helpful utility to my group. It’s definitely a pve build, and I use it for mostly dungeon farming (need my Arah skull armor!)

Yea with all beserker gear (power/crit/crit dmg). In some zones when I’m down leveled precision scales well enough for me to hit 100% crit :p

It is, indeed, hilariously awesome.

Running 5/6 eagle runes and a Rata Sum rune, for max precison. I usually use a +5% crit sigil and a remove condition on crit sigil, and the stacking precision buff on my staff. I have a screenshot from before this weekend (so, outdated) with 2275 precision, 2030 power.

Been running a Death Shroud / Well based build for weeks now. 10/30/0/0/30 – I pretty much sit at 80% crit all the time with 99% crit damage. Fun times.

I stack all power/crit/crit dmg on my gear, and run a DS/well build (10/30/0/0/30) and with no buffs I’m sitting at 51% crit and 88% crit damage… and I still need my runes of the eagle. Add into that the 5s Frenzy buff and 5s cooldown on DS and I’m at 71% crit pretty much always. I initially played a necro for the pets and dots, but I’ve found this works best for me (for now!).

I’d like to be able to spec into having wells apply an immobilize for the duration, or maybe pulse 1 second immobilizes.

Yellow mobs won’t trigger marks, no matter what you do, until they turn red. Things that never turn red (walls, turrets, etc.) will NEVER trigger your marks, and that’s a bug imo. The tree in TA is especially frustrating.

Lich’s are asexual.

Fastest way for any class to get from 75-80 was cooking with Karma mats (I got from 76-80 in about 45minutes!), but they fixed that right up. I’m currently specced for wells/marks for explorable Arah, and I love all the utility but I won’t pretend the warrior I roll with doesn’t do double the damage.

I don’t think the trait Training of the Master (Spite, Master trait) works on the bone minion’s Putrid Explosion… seeing as it’s “minion damage” you’d think it would.
