Guild Wars 2

Solution: Join the map before the meta finishes and pray you don’t disconnect.

If you have to pray not to get a dc then you shouldn’t start a Dragon Stand run in the first place.

Well… this is awkward.
I play Tempest D/W and besides of Air Overload getting 7% weaker my whole build is untouched (wash the pain away, feel the burn, signet of fire, glyph of storms, elite glyph or fgs)

The main problem of this boss fight is not your gear. It’s the fight itself. Small room, a lot of AoE, a lot of knockbacks.
I completed this boss with the following setup
Gear: berzerk
Traits:
Earth 3,2,1
Air 1,2,2
Tempest 3,3,1

Dagger, Warhorn

Heal: Glyph on Water
Utility: Glyph of storms, arcane shield, feel the burn

Use fresh air to spam air overload, gaining stabilty
Thanks to the third tempest trait you have double the sand squall -> magnetic aura for the pop up

Always stay on air, switch to fire to pull of 2,3,5 and switch back. Water 5+3 for heal.
The stabilty and -40% dmg from protection helped me alot

Im not the best guide writer.

You can contact me ingame for further help. I am going to be online in 12 hours.

How can using the mechanics given by the game get you banned? The difference in getting banned or not is if i am sitting infront of the pc?

Nevermore: Telling people to fail Grenth event was pain in the butt

How can a race change be reasonable in any kind of way?

can’t even express my disappointment. Say goodbye to my money unless it comes out very soon

Who ever made you pay for this update… bro, you got scammed.

AliamRationem.5172:

It’s okay to love Tangled Depths. I mean, isn’kitten

Objection! This map is pure horror to complete.

I have never seen a single ad for GW2, besides those generated by Google Ads.

When equiped the warhorn on my ele I recieved the notification that I unlocked the skill #5 when going through all the elements.

Awesome fractal. The mechanics are really nice.
My group killed the shark in a funny way. We were 4 Tempests and 1 Guardian. We sacrificed the guardian by making him get the aggro and staying downed in the water while we were on land chaining our Glyph of Storm in earth to maintain blindness keeping him alive and killing the shark at the same time.

Slowpokeking.8720:

Seriously who designed this encounter? It’s the worst end boss design I’ve EVER SEEN.

Looks like you already forgot the Zhaitan “battle”.

This whole “kitten” stuff is rediculous…

The story was stretched by farming item x y and z. The only thing i really liked was kicking the chickens to get their feathers.
When the Braham-Cutscene started i was like “Ok here we go!!!” Arrow hits tooth. The End.

As Ele I have many ways to maintain swiftness. The easiest is simply spamming the healing glyph with the air trait
Inscription
[Grants a boon associated with your current attunement when you cast a glyph. Reduces glyph recharge]
We also got the Signet of Air for +25% movement speed. With its active ability to deal damage, apply area blindness and now also vulnerabilty (8 stacks) for 5 seconds it is really fun to use.

I dont see why every class cannot have the +25% somewhere. You still would have to sacrifice a skill slot.

I completed every adventure with silver/gold. Once I got used to the mechanic it was easy going, except for the one below Tarir. I kept falling down over and over again.

Fallen Masks: Use mini map, look if you have to go up or down before starting to run.

What about new armor and weapon skins that you can actually buy from gold or other currencies beside gems?

I think it would be unlikely to find items in the Gem Store that were not purchasable with Gems.

Of course i meant them to be attainable outside of the gem store. I’m sick of seeing so many good skins that i can’t buy by playing the game, except for trading gold to gems.

What about new armor and weapon skins that you can actually buy from gold or other currencies beside gems?

Now you know how people feel with (the new) Gift of Battle (beside those who used the badges of honor from the achievement chests).

Neko.9021:

Lol, I’m amazed you were even able to find this post from about a year ago. Still, I’m glad you like what my past self a year ago came up with.

I googled gw2 tempest earth and this thread was the 3rd result.

sorrychief.2563:

dagger isn’t a melee weapon (2 of the auto attacks are projectiles actually).

…..are you serious? Staff has 1200 range skills, scepter 900, dagger 240.
Ele has on dagger air the strongest (melee) auto attack in the game.

Its the build from the thread below.
Earth/Air/Tempest with 100% uptime of:

• Might ( >20 stacks)
• Fury
• Vigor
• Swiftness
• Regeneration
• Protection (40%)

In combination with the Earth line (-10% damage from foes in close range) and Frost Aura (-10% dmg) you get a 60% incoming damage reduction.

Gear is Berserker with Rune of the Strength.

Neko.9021:

This is not for Dungeons or Fractals or Raids. This is just for those who are struggling to survive in the new maps and want a survivable and easy build that tags well.

The Tempest offers a new playstyle in PvE in perhaps one of the easiest to run builds ever. I present to you my build:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vFAQJBIhdSfJUgJ2fJYhJwhJWaAM3J7m9zOsC6AhQhCQA4DC-TxRGABA8gAGS5HI7PQmeCDOhAAq+jUKBJFQgTtA-e

I just tested out this build and I have to say: I love it.
Maintaining protection without food is sometimes a liiittle problem but otherwise its awesome. Keeping up 25 stacks of might all by yourself and then sharing it to the group is really fun. A total of -60% dmg when in close combat (protection, earth trait, frost aura), 24/7 regeneration and vigor. It lacks a bit of damage in comparison to my old build with Glyph of Storms and Frostbow but the focus here is on surviving.

I can recommend it to everyone going melee and struggling with staying alive.

The trait Invigorating Torrent applies vigor and regeneration when using an aura. This will not be shown in any aura tool tip, but is correctly applied uppon use.

3 months after the last one?

Before raising cultural armor prices these armors should become excotic.

Did you just asked someone if you could pay more?

Im surprised theres no FGS meta recall yet. All hail the Elementalist overlords.

I play Ele since the headstart. I played without looking for better builds on the internet. If I had known about the FGS and Staff Fire #4 bug I would have totaly abused it… what a shame.

Just no. GW2 with its old engine and DirectX9 is already bad in terms of gpu/cpu usage. I don’t want it to get worse when the develolpers have to take care about consoles too.

Ele: Icebow #4. I miss you.

I would be happy about removing the Incinerator sound on Ele Fire #1 Dragonclaw.

You don’t have to buy anything for structured PvP (5vs5). This thread belongs to the subforum ‘Players Helping Players’

Staff Air #2 I hoped for a cleave or area blind with single dmg

Out of combat weapon swap for Ele (and Engi). The button would be grayed out while in combat.

vana.5467:

Arcane Shield:
Block attacks for 3 seconds. While this skill is active, Detonate Arcane Shield becomes available.
Channeled ability
25 seconds recharge

Detonate Arcane Shield:
Make your arcane shield explode, dealing critical damage to nearby enemies. Using this skill adds 10 seconds to the recharge of Arcane Shield.
Damage modifier: 1.0 (currently 1.5)
Number of targets: 5
Radius: 360

Alternatively, instead of the detonate skill, take away the damage entirely and add a trait to the arcane line:
_Reduce the current recharge of your attunements by 0.25s on each succesful block

Love both version.

I have never used Arcane Power, Arcane blast, Signet of Earth, Signet of Water, Conjure Flame Axe and Conjure Earth Shield in actual PvE. Have been playing Ele since headstart.
My build mainly consits of
Arcane Wave
Lightning Flash (sometimes Earth Armor or Arcane Shield)
Glyph of Storms
[E]Glyph of Elementals

Rebound is simply poo. It would be a liiittle bit better if it automatically affects the 4 players with the least amount of health and actually getting a respond that you helped someone.

I would like to have little diversity in my build.

The shouts are between meh and ok. The earth one is my favorite, but very situational.
Can’t talk for raids, haven’t done them.

Soleil.1304:

making the event such a big success.

I couldn’t continue reading after this :P

Which screenshot do you like the most up until now?

Here is one of mine:

With all the Money you make from the gemshop one should expect from you that you get some decent developers… Nice glimps of the Addon. This and the tempest make me regret the pre-purchase.

TigressMink.4709

I was taking a selfie

shiver
These pictures are still called screenshots

Are you in Tyria/WvW or in the PvP Lobby (mists)?

This isn’t even his final form!!!

Well.. after some attempts I got one :P
Edit: Quickly followed by Rodgort’s Flame and Spark
(I know they are bound)

Chaos Archangel.5071:

Arcane Brilliance still centers the BLAST finisher on the opponent rather than the Ele. In order to get it to function correctly you have to have no target.

Didn’t know why sometimes I got the blast finisher and sometimes not… thanks for posting.

Glenstorm.4059:

15) Lightning Flash no longer works in some places where it previously used to work; for example, some stairs in WvW.

Noticed this one doing chest farm in the silverwastes. Doesnt work some stairs at the forts

I’d really appreciate confirmation from someone on here that Soothing Ice does indeed proc Cleansing Water when it grants regeneration.

Tested it with the thief npc at the pvp lobby.
I can confirm the condition remove when frost aura is applied by Soothing Ice.
I would like to add a screenshot but it is pretty difficult to show a removed crippling or immobilzie.

They fixed the bug with Empowering Flames (Fixed an issue that caused this trait to permanently give 150 bonus power to the elementalist)
But left the Soothing Power bug untouched. (It increases the healing by soothing mist only by 100% instead of 200%)

Sylvari light T3 armor. Elementalist.

Update on HoM fix?

When it is ready.

The right answer is “When it’s ready™.”

One of each profession. All lvl 80. Mesmer got from 1 to 80 with scrolls only.

Arlee.7038:

soon™

Nice
