Guild Wars 2

Thanks. Wasnt sure which direction to go and runes of strength are expensive. Just figured since we can now generate might easily through pet swaps signets and the jungle stalkers roar it was something worth looking into.

Was wondering if anyone thought of using these runes. With brutal signets and a 20% boon increase through foods your might stacks last 24 and a half seconds. Which means your gaurenteed at least 3 stacks of might at all times. The cool down on one of the signets is 24 seconds with the reduced cd granted by brutal signet trait.

Nope. I actually like the changes. I seem to be getting more karma, armor and speed boosts than I did prior to the change. And since those are the main ones I am concerned about the change works to my benefit.

You can be a ranger and do not have to progress to druid if you choose not to.

The candy corn gobbler was a halloween event item and was removed when halloween was over. Shouldd be back in a couple months when halloween rolls around again

Taking the hit for your ally will work unless the ranger has pierce. In which case both of you are getting hit.

I have been thinking about a new type of Legendary that would be cool and you could earn without the use of RNG. You could have legendary weapons of slaying.

The way it could work is when you kill say 25000 creatures of a certain type (i.e. grawls) with one particular type of weapon (i.e. swords) you could then get a precursor “sword of grawl slaying”.

To do this you could take the weapon type to say a runesmith, who for say 100 gold would inscribe the weapon with a grawl slaying inscription giving a bonus 5% damage vs Grawls.

Now to turn it into a legendary you would have to jump through the normal hoops to create a legendary weapon of that type. Once you have all the mats you can then forge a named legendary weapon and you get to choose the name. So the weapon now becomes “Sting the Slayer of Grawls”.

This gives the weapon even more character because you had to kill all those grawls and you get to name it as well.

Any thoughts?

Well i wanted to see what you got with 5000 pieces or 20 stacks of candy corn. Several hours later here is what i ended up with:

Swiftness = 22 Hrs
XP = 19 hrs
WXP = 2w 6 days
MF = 21 hrs
KSB = 20 hrs
Gathering = 14 hrs
Crafting = 1 day 3 hrs
Rejuvenation = 1 day 1 hr
Karma 1 day 1 hr
Armor 12 Hrs

That is an average of one boost every 5 tries roughly if my math is correct. Might be worth it if it didnt take so long to use with the cooldown. Oh and i didnt do this in one sitting, but did use an alt that i only logged in to do this test.

Hope the data is useful to anyone thinking of getting the Gobbler.

So basically rangers are like Aquaman, great when in the water but absolutely worthless on land.

Who is building ac cannons. We need the supply for rams as we take your keeps not wasted on ac’s.

To do this they could make sub classes. Kinda like a dual class character. This could branch out the skill tree allowing truly unique characters based on the tree path they select. So depending on which branch a character decides to take would depend on what weapons he or she could use effectively. Rangers that specialize in woodland magic, or a thief that practices necromancy.

Okay lets try this route. Explain how you get the gift of heroes to make the weapon. No vendor I know has it and there doesn’t appear to be a recipe. So does it appear out of thin air?

I am guessing it is a bug. My brother just created his account about three months ago so he hasnt participated in any prior tourneys. I thought it strange for him to get his before I got mine.

My brother got his. he opened it and inside was the tickets. problem was after he opened it he had issues with the interface. Couldn’t type in chat or move anything in his inventory.

All I know is I would like to try it. I know everyone hates them, but there has to be at least 4 brave souls who would be willing to give it a try?

I dont run zerker armor.a few pieces here and there. maybe a ravager shoulder pads. The pic is why i think it can be done. I have held up to two on one but four smoked me. Then again i am noob so i still need to perfect my skill.

I do believe the synergy from five rangers can do the trick.

I Know. But I believe it is possible. Like I said I am new and trying to figure out DPS gives me a headache. What is the average little white pop up number that warriors do. I watched videos and it seemed to me that they average about 3,000 to 4,000 a whack. I have seen one video where he hit 9,000. Rangers I see hitting between 150 to 300 hundred a pop and sometimes even hitting 1,700. Is this correct?

If it is then I believe I can get the long bow to deliver these kind of numbers. Yes I am an optimist and hate being told its been tried and impossible. Improbable but not impossible.

Okay so we won’t start the next bandwagon, but I don’t believe the ranger is worthless in WvW. I would like to start a five man ranger squad and have it operate like its military namesake. I have never played an MMO prior to december. I have read all the negative responses regarding rangers but still like them, so no need to post a response. I know how bad they are.

I believe it is possible to accomplish because I have never played an MMO prior to GW2 and I don’t like being told something is impossible. I also know none of the current meta game. Stacking? Please Rangers should never Stack. Stacking=Dead ranger.

My goal is to create a 5 man tight knit group that can handle 5:1 odds by themselves and wreak major havok on the battlefield when following a platoon.

I only ask that the long bow be the main weapon of choice. Again because everyone says the LB is worthless. Yes I know it is and I would like to change that perception.

My goal with the longbow is to find a build that makes it viable. I don’t understand DPS, too much math. But I do understand those little white numbers that pop up when I hit something. I would like to have rapid shot average about 3000 to 4000 a hit and top out at 15000 on the last shot. When doing a volley I would like the hits to pop up doing 3000 to 5000 a whack.

Okay don’t laugh, oh hell go ahead and laugh, it won’t phase me. and yes I believe it can be done.

So if interested and up to this monumental challenge please email me. I currently reside on HOD.

you have condemned all rabbits to death. No bobble head means I shoot them on sight. moose are safe. too busy laughing to shoot.

Look at them as mercenaries. They sell their sword to the highest bidder. Surprised that there isnt a strong merc guild already.

Love the class, despite its limitations, I could do without the pet though. The pet is usually more trouble than he is worth.

wasn’t around for that. Just trying to think of a way to inform players who don’t go to the forums to learn where what things are happening. Or a town message board in game. I only said a town cryer because that is what they used during the only-bathe-once-a-year middle ages.

I am reading these posts about people not knowing that the vendors were going away. Why cant there be a town cryer stationed at the keep that tells the latest News. He could say lines like

“with search efforts complete lion gaurd announces they will cease accepting lost items”
“New merchant in vigils keep is looking for past relics”

Or even have the merchants say

“thank you, and please get me any other belongings you find before end of week since we will be reassigned to other duties.”

This way people who don’t visit the forums but pay attention to npc speak would also be informed.

Still new to the game, so not sure if this is valid or not. Could they award bonus damage to parties taking place in the event.

This promotes playing together and usually a party or team has been playing long enough together they should be able to work as a team.

Maybe even have a way for two separate guild parties to join giving a modifier to damage.

This would allow people who like to play individually still play like that. Just they would need a whole lot of individuals to take the knight down and still might not. Where as 3 or 4 parties maxed out in players would literally wipe the floor with the knight.

I think they need to involve the guilds into things like escape from lions arch. Imagine letter being sent to guilds asking for assistance and what needs to be done. Now the guild leader could tell his followers lions arch is under attack and the powers that be need help in rescue and others to help with the defense of the city.

When they guild shows up they report to a crisis coordinator and state whether their team is there for rescue or defence.

They guild would get benefits if they did as asked. For instance the coordinator says your guild is needed by bank as a large aether pirate presence was there or we have civilians trapped by the fort.

Just a thought

Quick Idea, this is guild wars isnt it. Just have someone at the entrance that guilds report too. Just like a real crises that someone coordinates relief efforts.

Guilds are supposed to be players of the same mind set. So the guild master could check in and report they brought members to help with resue or defense of civilians. Then bonus loot can be given to guilds who check in and everyone gets what they want.
