Harbinger.8637:

I started that way, pretty much crafted all the best looking exotics:

Whisperblade
The Anomaly
Volcanus
Wall of the Mist
Immobulus
Illusion

But now I have Sunrise, which blows them all away. Just need to work on Infinite Light and Mjolnir…..ugh

Sunrise and twilight are will never blow any of these away.
And I’m not “just saying that because I’ll never have one.” I’m saying it because it’s true. Sad and true.

Statisitically it will. New gear will come with higher stats. This could be as soon as next weeks patch. Whilst Twighlight is a legendary it is guaranteed to keep the same stats as the highest in game and will get a stat buff. The rest are exotics and will not get a stat buff. They may or may not be better looking, but stat wise twighlight wins for its stats guarantee.

Next patch is amulets not weapons, however, Twilight still looks bad, and you can always transmute better looking skins to have bis stats.
Also it is very negligible that amount of stats ascended weapons have compared to exotic, one could easily use exotic until he gets an ascended. Having a legendary only satisfies that need for instant gratification.

Zaxares.5419:

I posted my concerns about this in the Flame and Frost thread too. Without some way for Jewellers to upgrade Exotic rings/amulets/trinkets to Ascended versions, they’ll ultimately get left behind. Why would you ever want to level Jeweller to 400 (outside of crafting Legendary Gifts), spending a ton of money and time in gathering materials, when you can just save up your Laurels and get a ring/amulet that is undeniably better than ANYTHING you could ever make with Jeweller?

A valid point, however, exotics still offer one thing over ascended gear, and that is min/maxing.
“jewels” can’t be changed in ascended gear. So unless they make it so they can or the make an amulet for every combination exotic users can still take advantage of this.
I know it may not be a very important thing to some people but with ascended rings/back myself I know I have 10 precision that is essentially being wasted, I only use them because of resist :/

Raincrow.1840:

Am I the only one who hates the way gathering works in this game?

I hate filling my pack with 12 different tools so I have the right ones for each zone

I hate checking to make sure the node I want to harvest is listed on the tool so I don’t end up with garbage.

I hate the “master” tools that don’t even list what they can harvest so I have no idea what level they’re good for.

I hate using more expensive tools on higher level nodes only to get low level carrots.

The whole gathering system is just overly complicated and bad.

1.) carry only orichalcum tools, may cost 4s each but thats pretty low.
2.)1 takes care of 2 as well.
3.) Master is able to harvest any node.

And sure we could all have a lot more money if we didn’t waste coin on this game, but it is a game in the end.

Wethospu.6437:

Excel at everything but defense. I mostly use only basic form of defense, dodge, which every class has access to. If you want know what seriously sucks with Warrior, that’s AoE projectile reflect/absorb, combo-fields and summons.
I admit damage is high, partly from class but also from being full-glass with best offensive stuff (or if someone has any better please let me know).

Also one thing to consider is that you don’t see me posting failed ideas/attempts or I need to use questionable tactics (like pulling Kholer). Try to think what your class is good at and play by its strenghs

True they don’t have a “great” amount of defensive but they do have quite abit of blocking skills, which can all be traited to reflect. Of course this requires at least 10 in defense. However, it just depends on what you are trying to accomplish, and how you want to do it.
@puandro, I run 64% crit chance and 20% of that is fury. Warrior can make a great amount of this, all the time.

bugmug.7940:

Haha…you serious about your post? 250g + all 3 gifts within 2 months is casual play ? Oh man, your real life must suck…

Srs…im Not a casual player at all and making 5g a day isnt casual neither. items becoming almost double as expensive in only 2 days is normal game? Yeah right…and you know What? The ppl who have several legendaries are the ones who made at least their First when all prices have been a tenth of todays and before DR. i Do know, cause i have several in My guild.

So pls check your arguments next time pls…

CoF P1 all day everyday, might be boring but 20-30 gold is possible everyday. even more if you devote enough time.

Also The Energizer for the mace? was listed at 30g last i looked.

Drarnor Kunoram.5180:

Yeah, running Fractals is the best way to farm skill points. Good XP (especially if you’re running some of the halloween food and a sharpening stone/maitenence oil/tuning crystal) and a good number of relics drop, which you can trade for skill points.

Running dungeons is a good way too. CoF path 1 is about 20 minutes with an average group and will get you enough experience for about 1.5 skill points.

Get a sp farming group together, run this set up
cof p1 – 8 min-10 min
AC p2 -10-12min
do cof then ac, rise repeat, thats like 1 sp every 20-25 min. And yes alternating them resets the DR on the exp reward, so yeah, its 177k everytime.

Mazrim.2167:

gimmethegepgun.1284:

Yeah, Destroyer weapons.
Level 80 exotics, use 20 or 30 Destroyer Lodestones in addition to normal materials.

And, like the infamous Charged Lodestones, have a .0000000000000000001% chance to drop (I think I missed a zero or ten).

Going after Legendaries seems more worthwhile to me as far as work/time invested goes. 100 Charged Lodestones for a mere EXOTIC skin? No thanks, I can’t play for 18hrs/day to earn only 1 Lodestone.

farm Cof for an hour youll have 1-2 destroyer cores and maybe 1 lodestone, if not youll definately have enough molten cores/lodes to sell to get 1

Stigma.7869:

If anything spy kits are a huge karma drain

41.6 min of invisibility for the low low price of 7k per stack? not really a drain since you can make this kind of karma from 3-4 dungeons and itll last you 3-5 days. not bad.

Koga.7215:

want to stop it? BANs must happen, but lets be serious here:

major exploit (aka last boss before starting and doing anything)
- 1st offense 3day ban,
-2nd offense perma ban
these are common sense things that it is not intended to be done and should be punished hard

minor exploit (aka standing on the top of the stairs in AC to kill path 1 or 3 boss where he can not hit you)
-1st offense warning
-2nd offense 1day ban
-3rd+ offense 3day ban
here you would be able to get a warning on each minor thing (ie different minor exploit in a different path would not lead to a ban) that you may not even realize is an exploit, but once you do it and get the warning if you continue to do it you should be penalized.

With doing this ANET would need to keep an up to date list of exploits on the forum (or a tab accessible from in game) and remove them as they fix them. This gives the player the ability to say you know i think this may be something we shouldn’t do, lets look. if its on the list then oh kitten lets not do that, and if it is not on the list it would be “safe” in that the most that could happen is get a warning

Though I personally do not stand on the stairs and never will for such troll easy boss fights. Game mechanics, or lack there of isn’t really wrong it was left out and wasn’t changed why must i be punished for someone elses lack of work. Something much funnier would be to ghost patch in an insta kill attack for these bosses that they use when people go to said places.

Ema.4953:

Odin of Ark.4860:

1. Only long one I’ve done is Arah
2. Only sometimes.
3.Dungeon runs produce at least a gold per PATH.
4. As Awesome said.

I’ve done 3 dungeons and each one took well over 90 minutes to do. Clearly I am taking the long scenic route. One gold per dungeon? As I said, the rewards don’t appear to be any better than PvE. You can make a gold easily just killing random animals and collecting their fur or whatever they drop

hmm, Cof P1 10 min =70sx 9 times for your 90 min =6.3 gold.
you will not make 6.3 gold in 90 selling any amount of fur you find.
+you can find fur in CoF.

Xrage.4983:

I bet the legendary buff is giving legendaries only +5 agony resi.

No for the 1 or 2 hours that some non-transmuted legendaries where actually ascended. (when ascended gear first came out.) they had a small stat and weapon damage increase In the axes case it was 928-1134 with 98 power 70 toughness 70 vitality instead of the 857-1048 90/64/64 that exotics currently carry. So there will be an increase stat wise. As far as infusions I hope that 1 of 2 things happens.

1. They keep infusion SLOTS to being just on trinkets.
2. If they add infusion slot slots to armor to keep normal slots there as well so I and many others can still use runes if we want.
Same with sigils.
But really having a full set of infused armor/weapons/trinkets with full infusion slots in trinkets alone would be 100 resist to agony. That would seem to be enough.

Also from what I can tell Ascended amulets will probably carry (in Beserkers case) stats like 98 power 70 precision 6% crit damage with its “jewel” being 32 power, 18 precision 4% crit damage for a total of 130/88/10. Though this is just speculation but probably a good guess considering that amulets (not including jewels) have the same stats as 1h weapons.

Renegade.6325:

Fasalina.6571:

Renegade.6325:

Food offers benefits, alcohol doesnt (im talking in game benefits like power).

He’s not talking about benefits, his point is, if Anet is so careful to not introduce certain things that might prove offensive to a certain type of person, then why introduce alcohol? Alcohol is generally seen as a negative beverage.
I, for one, am not offended by any of the above cases.

Right but if they added an item that gave an advantage, but it had issues with religion, that may be an explanation for it not being in game. Thats why alcohol would be allowed.

Again, seafood is in the game. Sea food in said game give advantages. Why no bacon.

Onyx can also drop in AC, a far easier dungeon the either TA or CoE.
I personally want more legendaries to come out but I don’t want them spit at us like pretty much every caster weapon was.

Well find 3 dungeons that sell whatever stat gear you want,
CoF, SE, Arah, CoE for beserkers
SE, Arah for knights
AC, SE, HotW for soldiers
These are just examples of common Warrior gear.
If you ran for Soldiers lets say all 3 paths every day getting torso and legs from AC
after 3 days you would have roughly 567 tokens from all three dungeons
AC 567-260 for torso – 240 for legs =67 left over
SE 567 – 180 for gloves – 180 for boots – 180 for helm = 27 left over
HotW 567- 300 for axe – 210 for shield 57 left over
Then you would just need to do 2 more runs of AC or HotW for shoulders.
Unless you wanted to use karma after running all 9 dungeons everyday for 3 days you would have 48600 karma to buy shoulders with. This way only gets you gear with the same stats though if you want looks then itll be a bit longer.

Oglaf.1074:

Revan.6259:

Well, armor smith needs leather and cloth too, just the same as the other armor professions, so they need salvaged mats too.

Cloth and leather are secondary materials for those professions, not primary materials as for Tailor/Leatherworker.

Exotic Heavy Armor Material Requirements
Orichalcum Ingots-16
Bolt of Gossammer-37
Spool of Gossammer Thread-130
Globs of Ecto-30
Component X-30

Exotic Medium Armor Material Requirements
Cured Hardened Leather-17
Bolt of Gossammer-36
Spool of Gossammer Thread-130
Globs of Ecto-30
Component X-30

Thats to craft a full set of each. I really don’t see much of an unfairness. Really 17 cured leathers can be gathered rather fast. I suppose unless you where to walk from frostgordge down to malchors leap orich would be less expensive, consider the WP costs or the walk as The Equalizer. having all professions done through self farmed mats I didn’t find either leatherworking or talioring to be any harder then armorsmith.

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

Kain Francois.4328:

Reading various forum posts and playing with various players ingame, has it ever occurred to people you can switch armor mid-dungeon?

Meaning if you use Magic Find in Grawl FoTM for example, you can swap to that gear during the first few Grawl waves, and then to serious armor during the bosses?

You can even swap Jewelry!

So why do so many players carry just one equipment set and use Magic Find during the Legendary Imbued Shaman?

It astounds me how many players do not realize switching equipment is possible…

Same reason people run PVT gear. They don’t care about contributing, they just want to sit there and let other people do the work.

I run PVT armor/weps and still crit for 2.7-3.4k. Your argument is invalid.
Also because I want to use my legendaries making PVT gear unavoidable.

At least a third of your problems that are valid (simple jumping tasks shouldn’t be a problem) concern your build.
Having 3 different condition builds I use rather regularly including a necro I can say with confidence that just because your build classification is condition damage you most certainly do not need to have 1800 condition damage to be effective.
Try increasing duration over straight damage, this will actually give you more damage in the long haul and will leave room in your build to add Power, which will help killing objects.
If that doesn’t appeal to you then go to fireheart rise buy some elemental fires and spam them at these places.

Nightlord.8640:

I Look for videos or post where someone talked about this way and found nothing, so I decided to upload the video.

Only one of us used meal and we had not cof’s potions so I think It could have been even easier.

The first time someone did that path probably had only blue/green items, now we usually go “near-full-exotics”, just give a chance

If strifey finds this he will no doubt post 1 of his many videos that his group does this. Surprised he hasn’t yet actually lol.

bakared.9284:

Gelltor.3015:

I have never seen a group use this glitch…….

Trust me, a lot of people use this… Not against rumblus though. I’m sick of it too…It’s not like the howling king is hard to fight, so I don’t see the purpose of using this exploit.

The problem is that if you’re the only person who doesn’t want to do it you’ll probably get booted, so with the way things are right now a lot of players are being forced to do this myself included. So it’s not like anet can really ban people for it. I do hope they do something about it soon though.

I don’t see why you would get booted from the group, many a time I stay down and fight him alone while the cowards shoot from above. I like the challenge.
Also I didn’t know people got banned for the snowflake thing. Really? Person A give me item, Person B takes item and figures out how to make money with it. Person A exiles them for being good at making money? If that kind of logic carried through to real life innovation would be non-existent.

kiba.2768:

because more than half of the people posting here that used the 10x recipe had better than 33% odds.

play it safe or go big and win(or lose) big. it also reduced the chance or pain of carpal tunnel with less clicking and time wasted.

If your carpal tunnel is that bad please step away from the computer.

Quiznos.4296:

To tell you the truth I don’t think they were done designing all of them in the first place.
They underestimated the speed at which the player base could/would acquire.

Yeah, I agree here I have 2x gifts of mastery and 2x gifts of fortune was going to make frostfang and flameseeker, however every time I turn around another person has one of these.
I would be happy if I could just be unique for a day or two like I was with my T3 cultural.

Also for people who don’t know The Moot does light up the trumpets blare music and I believe it spins. To also note I most often see this wep in a warriors off-hand (some or most of you may too) which for some reason weapons that can be main handed and offhanded don’t present their full effects when in offhand, frostfang doesn’t either.

tried 30 times just to see, keep in mind that it has a chance to give you anything with a grey tint, I received a number of blues purples and greens. Far many more than the “grey hue” in the dye organization

Has there been any word or anything suggesting that obsidian shards will be sold at another karma vendor? I know fractals has them but I have 2 million karma I have already farmed I do not feel like farming more for it.

Yeah, he could have typed an answer in the amount of time it took to tell us that he wasn’t going to but sure.

Short answer is yes, You will find solo play easier, and 1v1 in wvw will be more on par.

Yeah it will be orangish and also I don’t know if this bothers you as much as it does me but when you transmute it it will gain the runes name aswell.

Malediktus.9250:

Legendaries wont be best in slot, only highest tier.
So the current lvl 80 legendaries wont be best in slot anymore when the lvl cap gets raised.

If they did that, me and every current legendary owner would quit the game,
thats like getting a 1st place gold trophy and the last place guy giving the judges £30 to announce a tie for 1st place for you and the loser, sharing your trophy.

The issue of lodestones is what needs to be sorted, we need more places to get them instead of being forced to do Orr Temples and Fractals.

Is your legendary better then any exotic now? No. It has a different weapon skin. This game was SOLD as a game with a horizontal gear grind. To change that to appease a few people who want better stats then everyone else? Then Anet is guilty of false advertising.

Most people bought this game because it was touted as not being a “job” and we heard the term “skill matters” a few thousand times. Most of us are already ticked off at the small difference (in stats) with ascended gems. If they add any more stat advantages? Prepare to see a mass exodus. If I am going to play a game with stat advantages, that requires a STUPID amount of play time to get? I will go play a game where I can have stupidly, unfair stat advantages and where progression and hard modes are rewarded over gold/money.

Whoever thought up ascended weapons at Anet and added anything other then “resist” to dungeon mobs should be fired. All they had to do was make mobs in the new instances cast “frost spells” etc, and then put frost resist on the ascended gear.

I laid out countless ways in which they could make MORE money and not tick off the entire playerbase. As it is? Any addition to base stats should be removed from ascended rings. Players were never promised a stat advantage in this game. This game was sold as a horizontal gear grind, where"skill" is rewarded.

They might as well change that sales pitch to, “we are no different then any other MMO, but play this game anyways”.

If you think you are entitled to something that this game NEVER promised, and is the OPPOSITE of what we were told when we were sold the game? You are simply being delusional. You threaten to quit, but you won’t. We on the other hand will. You have real life money/insane amounts of time tied up in this game. For us? This was a nice change from Pandaria. If it becomes like that game? Why not go back? Or better yet? Quit these endless stat gear grinds all together and tell these companies what they can do with their greed, and lack of creativity in getting our money.

I would love to buy things off the gem shop. The problem? It is all garbage. Town skins? I am never in town. I am in WvW. When I am in town I have culling/lag issues (like everyone else. I leave as soon as my queue is up, or I just teleport to Cursed Shore and farm a bit of gold. The armor skins on the cash shop. Horrid.

Let me wear top gun sun-glasses in WvW? I just might spring real money for that. Force me to buy things with stats, or make this game a job like other mmo’s? I will take my money elsewhere.

1.) Not everyone has lag issues in major cites, I’m in JQ and never have lag. I suggest you either re-install this may defrag some files and make the rendering time more suitable, or upgrade some hardware. Also WvW would have more lag stress than in town I’m surprised you have no troubles there.
2.) Anet never really did promise there would be ABSOLUTELY NO vertical gear progression, in-fact if you re-read some of the articals they had about gear progression they were very careful not to make any hard promise on anything of the sort. :/
Also they have stated that they would add other means to obtain ascended items because they realized that not everyone likes pve. I would expect IF anything after ascended comes out then such means would put in place to get them aswell. ALSO I know you want a game based on skill, true I do too and I believe alot of people that play feel the same with that I don’t think anet could really go much further with stat progression. The way the game calculates stats doesn’t really allow for it.
3.) I do agree there is a major lack in town clothes and I think some of them should be able to be worn in other modes/places.
4.) I agree with dogblaster you made the item for the skin and just that skin, it peeves me I had to change the stats on my T3 cultural armors because they wernt exotic but hey, I live with it.

xCrusadentx.2784:

Feel free to buy it, just know you will gain no sense of accomplishment from doing so

How not? I believe anyone with the amount of coin in this game to drop on something like that could feel accomplished in his or her own right.

yes you can got the hunter out of random exotics, I take the tokens and buy shields warhorns and torches, throwing different combos into the forge allows for any possibility so I could get a worthless precursor or hit the jackpot.

Jaxon.5392:

I don’t think coming from the angle of “start all over again” is the right way.

Small scale suggestions are far more likely to be implemented.

All i really think they need to do is get them off the TP and make them account bound on forging. And adjust the rate of some of the lodestones. Very simple changes with the right amount of impact.

Longer term I think they just need to add a legendary quest when you have all your mats together that involves a difficult JP and combat to overcome so it truly screams “legend of the game”

I would love a 2-3 hour mini story for obtaining legendaries, it would make the legendary feel more alive, rather than I grind dis lots gotz teh cool skinz now. But it would also give them a story, I mean they are legendaries and with a minor exception to the flameseeker none of them have stories to why they are legendary besides the fact the name is purple and there’s only a story about the book, not about how it became attached to the shield.

As to OP I don’t have a problem with a hunt at all. Especially if you can only get 1 or 2 per toon or account and they are account bound this would make it so that the first couple are considerably easier to get but not eliminating the need or want to sell or buy the precursors. However, Anets first remarks on legendaries was that they would be “very account bound” or something to that effect, and originally I had the belief that I could craft or do tasks to obtain them. Not grind the hell out of the game so much so that anet adds “innovative” things such as DR >.>

Sunreva.8714:

That sucks, definitely use rares next time. 180 gold would of equated to more than 500 rare greatswords.

his chances would have been lower with rares and more time consuming.

evo.8640:

Sunreva.8714:

The price of these items continues to rise because more people find themselves situated to be able to afford their legendary and thus, they’re willing to spend more and more money to get their precursor. Run through lions arch for 5 minutes and you’ll see multiple players with Legendary’s, 2 months ago this was not the case.

More people looking to make their legendary —> more demand --> more being bought up on the market. This is why no other precursors are priced like Dawn/Dusk/Legend. Because they’re not in demand. It’s that simple. Sorry, I don’t buy this “people controlling the dawn/dusk market” stuff, it’s pure baseless speculation. If this was the case, then we’d see manipulation on all the markets. The Lover, Zap, and other precursors are plenty sought after, yet they’re not 400+ gold. This is because the demand is overall lower. No manipulation is in play.

Handing out free precursors to anyone who completes a quest or a scavenger hunt is absurd, these items should retain at least some reasonable form of value, and 100-200 gold is sufficient. If the drop system for precursors was somehow tied into the market, this could feasible address the problem. If there is only 1-5 of a particular precursor for sale (for instance), then its drop rate should be significantly increased. Likewise if there are 20-30 of them for sale, then the opposite should happen.

I could care less with what you choose to believe, the matter of fact is simple. My friend had 15 Dusks in his inventory 3 days ago. There is no baseless speculation with that. Clearly, you must not understand how market manipulation works. As I’ve also personally helped him put in fake buy orders for this particular item in question, Dusk.

If an item is sought after, more people will want it and the price will be higher. Face value is Dusk/Dawn are in higher demand by more players than any other precursor. And this is precisely why these items are controlled. They yield higher returns at a higher rate. Look at the volume of sales on any website that tracks this information. The results are clear. If there was more demand for any other precursor, you can bet those would be controlled as well. But, as it stands there isn’t. Part of this, is simply what goes into making Bolt, for instance. The cost/effort of putting Bolt together is beyond the cost/effort of putting together Twilight or Sunrise, even after the current precursor prices. Not to mention, more classes generate more builds around a greatsword, than they do a one-handed sword. Many people are put off by the cost/effort and it simply ceases to be a goal for no other reason than the ridiculousness of farming/buying charged lodestones.

The amount of people with a legendary is still relatively low. Even then, by and large most legendary owners are Twilight/Sunrise wielders by a staggering majority. Many of them, who I’ve personally talked to – to find out where they obtained their precursor (before I was given mine) – had bought them within the first few weeks of release. I’ve encountered hardly any players who are relatively new owners, and all who purchased it before the Karka event.

Apparently, you are among the few who even take issue with “everyone” obtaining a precursor. When anyone who has been on the road to crafting a legendary can tell you, there was far more work involved in everything but the precursor. It’s telling when people electronically associate status with pixels. You must be one of those who are extremely proud to stand around the cities with shiny items on.

Lol’d there are a whole 4/8 classes that can use the GS(well 2 classes, effectivly), and it saddens me to see so many warriors use them but still, that does not mean that everyone who plays 1 of those 4 classes use a gs.

idk about exotics and the MF you will drain your cash rather fast at about 12g per try (assuming theres exotic hammers 3g or cheaper) so really you’ll only get like 19 trys then another 2 from the the ones that arnt the colossus, 21 trys at something that is estimated to only be a 1% chance (as speculate by people who try to guess) you are cutting your odds down to .21% which is rather low odds when gambling 210g.
rares might be worse i believe.
Assuming you can get lvl 80 rare hammers for 40s or cheaper thats roughly 525 hammers or 131 trys + 32 more from hammers given back (unless of course it gives you an exotic) and say it doesn’t for maths sake thats 163 trys at a speculated .015% chance of return. .015%x1.63= . 02445 chance of getting what you want. which is why people tend to attack it with rares at up to 1500 trys +.
So logical option to me is grind the 100g in dungeons take tokens and buy exotic hammers when you can throwing every 4 in the forge by the time you have the 100g needed youll either have the prereq or can buy it.

TWMagimay.9057:

Aphix.9846:

but still miss ~ 400g for my legendary… (also have bloodstone shard + 70 sp (on average u need 350sp, not 500…)

Gold needed is 100g, how can you be missing 400g? You owe 300 to a loan shark or smth?

runestones are 100 yes
both recipes are 20g
and he isn’t farming for the prereq i would assume, so the 280 left over is for prereq anad T6 mats im sure

I made my 3rd Legendary on Christmas Eve just in time I’m gonna set my goal for my 4th Legendary sometime 2nd week of March 2013 <3

gz! shame i ran out of legendary weapons to craft…

Both of you seemed to be of the 1st generation legendaries owners (week+ past release)
I missed the big wealth train, so I’ll settle for two legendaries (got Sunrise, working on Jugger).

Getting one in a short time requires a lot of effort and sacrifice of free time.
The other way to get one would to be a serious power trader if you get one every 2nd week or so… I’m the 1st option.

I don’t think I can suck up any more punishment tbh, so 2 legends are enough for me… for now.

This is my legendary owners ladder:

1. 0 legendaries – Keep enjoying the scenery, oh, you got 30k acehivement points? cool story, you’re still a beggar.
2. 1 legendary – Lucky opportunist of past exploits / low end market shift or dedicated player, hard to tell, would go with first options.
3. 2 legendaries – The 2nd one definitely required more effort than the 1st after the big market shift, kudos.
4. 3 legendaries or more – Big shot power trader, early days fast gold opportunist or both.

I’m personally, slightly jealous of #4, but will settle for #3.

Pfft theres guy on black gate that has sunrise, foefires essense, the predator, and frost fang and is apperantly casually working on flameseeker, please identify him in all your glory.

In combat the predator is plenty noticeable, since your projectiles become purple and your gun makes a pew pew sound.

^ Only 2 I’ve seen I’ve noticed out of combat but the people where glad to show them off.

to be honest they do need to re-evaluate the process by which people forge the Legendary items, it seems a little anti-climatic that players were able to start mass producing them after the first month. The fact that there were Legendary items in the general populous so soon after launch makes me think the requirements and pre-requisites for getting the weapons were far too easily obtained. In my novice opinion one of the requirements for crafting a Legendary item should have been either age of the account or age of the character, but that’s just my $0.02.

I don’t think that would be fair to limit people to crafting something they want because they have not played enough, you would just see a mass of people Afking while they are asleep lol.
And Again it isn’t like the people that have them where handed the item, each one of them put time and hard effort into making them, “mass production” with a legendary is something to laugh at because really the amount of people that do have them is considerably small.

Dont blame arena net. You haven’t researched the legendary, so it’s your fault if you’re disappointed with it.

Please re-read his post then realize the mistake you’ve made.

As for OP Anet has already stated that some of the legendaries are lack luster and with their effort of adding new ones they will be enhancing some of the current ones. IIRC.

4x rare or exotic weapons lvl 76+ can make a precursor.
rare has a lower chance than exotics do
4 random weapons can yield anything.
4x of the same weapon will yield that weapon I.E. 4x focus will always give focus

You can get either infuse or non infused at lvl 20, 24+ as per 12/13 notes I believe is when only infused rings drop

I feel sad to say that I have gone through well over 1 million karma and that wasn’t even trying to get anything, that was getting tired of skins and buying new ones lmao.

Bitfrost looks awesome. The septer and focus though are meh.

Honestly compared to the great swords ALL the other legendaries are lacking.

I prefer incinerator and bolt over great swords any time. And its bifrost btw, there is no T in there.

Look at your keyboard. Now back to this. Now back to the keyboard. Look how close T is to F and R. Now back at this. It’s name is The Bifrost not just bifrost. lmao

Troll free for a moment however.
I almost feel your pain here guys, I know my main is a warrior but, I am not a cheesy greatsword warrior I use axe/shield and in my personal taste Frost fang looks terrible. I only think that because I saw a guy with it and it too 2 glances to realize it wasn’t a corrupted axe and when I bash things with a shield I want to hit them with a kitten looking shield not a book. >.>
And yeah a lot of people like the GSs but really? I seriously think too much work went into them. The look really… cartoony. Not Quipp cartoony but like some freaking bleach cartoony, just..bad.
That aside Incinerator looks ok and of course The Bifrost, I wish the warhorn looked cool too :/

Omnom bar in Cof P1 a good group can clear in 8 min
and you make with the omnom 50-60s per run not including dungeon reward or drops.
there are 3 bosses in P1 and that 10-15 , 10-20 , an 15-25s each run.
So in your 2 hour play time window you could do 10-15 runs netting anywhere from 5-9 gold just in the silver drops i do this about everyday day till i have 120+ tokens just from P1 I usually find on average 3-5 cores 1-2 loadstones which sell if you dont want them. also with 120 tokens you can buy 4x rare helms from the CoF vender and either forge them or salvage, I usally save mine and buy 4 of the same exotic weapon and throw them in to the forge. gl either way CoF is the best use of your time as all the bosses that must die to complete the dungeon drop the aformentioned silvers thus you never have to worry about people skipping them.

1% is worthless, it should be at least 5-10%

O.o 5% would equate to this.
30% extra just from armor, 25% from trinkets 55% longer boons total.
Signet of Rage I will use for the example
48 sec CD
duration of the boons are 30 sec 30×.55=16.5+30=46.5 sec of the boon
now lets spin this a wee bit out of hand, say you drop 30 into tactics adding another 30% boon duration. Now say to maximize your boons even further taking 2 superior runes of the monk 15% 2 major runes of the monk +10% and 2 superior runes of water +15% total of +40% boon duration
=125% longer boons
back to signet of rage
(30secX1.25)30=67.5sec of boons
67.5-48sec=19.5sec extra duration by the time the skill can be cast again meaning after 3x casts you would have 58.5 sec of each boon without having to activate the skill. But you will, because eventually, it would get to the point you could keep swiftness, at least 15 stacks of might, and fury up indefinately.
In short 5% per item would be way to OP 10% would be like WTF.

‘I wouldn’t call it a dungeon, but rather a collection of events inside of a 5-player instance.’

Isnt that what a Dungeon essentially is? lol

No, our dungeons are full of super tough monsters and potentially very challenging content. The Infininarium plays more like normal open world events.

I solod the instance if that can give you any feed back to how challenging it is.

I believe you left out the cause to your effect, please elaborate.

Lucas Ashrock.8675:

Actually he’s perfectly right, so your twist of words attempting to down him are pointless But if you want a realistic example, open your map and tell me how many non contested waypoint you see Hey, it’s just the easiest example

That doesn’t tell anyone anything, I am on JQ and can easily say that most everything in Iron marches, timberline falls, harathi hinterland, malchors leap, the list goes on and on and on. all of these maps and more say constantly contested now that the game has settled and the majority of players only stay in the profitable zones.
So again looking at the map for contested waypoints is useless, and the first responder is absolutely correct in everything he said, just because you don’t agree doesn’t make it incorrect.

As for being able to support CC heal and all other aformentioned needs and wants you will find the biggest one to be a guardian however a necro can do all of these and still do some stupid conditions, I personally play a warrior and find that I can only help my group deal more damage it isn’t a bad thing but I like it.

Where did you find info on these? first I have seen of this :/
