Guild Wars 2

Dungeons give a lot of XP.
HotW path 1 is my favorite cuz it’s short and delicious.

If you feel lazy you can hang out in Sparkfly Fen at the United Arcanist Lab near fluffy Tequatl and do the Krait and Risen event that is spammed there back to back.

Bad luck. RNG is the most fiendish of all enemies in this world.

For me though it took 200 Ectoplasm total for my clovers. I did all of them 10 at a time.

Thief are and were actually UP in several ways, and since they nerfed all the powerful stuff everyone was flocking to before fixing the broken stuff it’s causing a lot of problems for the prof overall. You can still be successful but I’m still looking at all these skills and traits that just aren’t useful and the lack of diversity that you see with other classes, like Warrior. Builds mostly revolving around 1-2 weapon skills since everything from all build types is crammed into our very limited weapon selection.

Did you know cloak and dagger only works in melee range when they’re facing you?

Yes… please stop with the DID YOU KNOW stuff. I’m a thief player and I used daggers quite a bit when they wrecked S/P and I am aware of what it can do and it’s in NO kittenING WAY difficult to land a C&D no more than it is to land a Backstab.

All weapon styles need to be balanced, some nerfed some buffed, that’s all.

Did you know that you can kill a stealth Thief build if you’re good at PvP?

Did you know cloak and dagger only works in melee range when they’re facing you?

Heh, reminds me of DCUO and Aion. Two MMOs that allow you to pick your character’s idle stances. Would be cool if we could do that here. Aion added it back when it went F2P and actually let you change idle stance, combat, jump and running animations. It’s still an extremely inferior game compared to GW2 but it was a nice feature.

DCUO lets you pick a personality that gave you an idle stance and some emotes looked differently; such as /taunt.

I wanted Fractal Dagger.

There are people who like to do all the dailys every day, that’s doing 10, 20 and 30 or higher. Precursors apparently drop in fractal dailys, is the chance not as low on 30 or same as 10?

My Sylvari does it cuz he likes how soft his leaves are. .-.

I noticed this happening to me ever since I started using the Stealth heals allies trait.

Did you know you can hit people while they’re stealthed?

Just seeing the mighty feared Zhaitan get instaowned and flail around crying was decent enough reward on it’s own. :P

Hopefully when you completed whatever method for Legendary armor you got a box with the entire armor set in it and not just 1/6 piece. :s

Not sure if man.
Or really flat-chested woman.

Rule with Anime generally is; “If you have to ask, it’s probably male.”

Still wish they at least added coats like Liu’s if they’re gonna keep forcing them onto us Thieves. Show off some of my Sylvari’s glowyness.

My P/D thief can’t be killed. ;s Pretty much a bunker thief.

Best bet though is spamming immobilize and poison and not 1 on 1ing.

I often sheath my pistol quickly before using instant-stealth skills such as hidden thief or smoke screen because pistol’s auto attack almost always messes it up.

Karolis.4261:

Hidden thief is useless trait. End of story.

There’s a lot of creative things you can do with it in WvW, things that can help wipe a whole army.

Marcin.7250:

I can not do that here but it did make me appreciate the game more; the level of detail was very close to reality; which was a huge bonus. I hope in the future the game companies can become more open minded about this, I really hope so.

Sounds like you need to play Fallout.

I enjoyed this update. Thanks.

Slow down there~ Someone had too much caffeine.

I like the dagger and want to get it. I got the bow and was going to use it, but then I realized it had no stats, so I couldn’t. Was thinking of transmuting it and realized it would be a bad idea if they are going to end up being ascended or used for something in future. ;/

Treeline.3865:

They do have stats on them.?

They don’t have stats on them.

These exotic “Fractal Weapons” that drop in FotM~ will these become Ascended when they add the rest of the Ascended equipment or are they just there for the skin since they have no stats on them?

If they’re only for skin transmuting then does that mean ascended weapons will have different skin?

Will they only have no stats till you upgrade them like the back piece? If so then transmuting them now would ruin it?

Will Ascended weapons/armor be bought with Pristine relics like the rings are or with normal relics?

~meow?

Oh, Hi Kristen. Thanks for this awesome race. :P

RainbowSyrup.4130:

I absolutely love the sylvari. The only problem for me is that there are too few hairstyles :/

This kinda applys for all races, and all games actually. I always feel like there isn’t enough hair styles. Wish there was a short hair style made of many small leaves for males.
People are complaining about them being human-shape, what exactly is the alternative without it being too crazy and make armor scale on us even worse? Which is one concern I have about Sylvari. A lot of armor doesn’t look like it fits correctly; being too big or floating. I would like more racial armor, ironically I didn’t think I would like plant armor but it’s actually pretty cool. Need tight fitting stuff though. Got tired of nightmare medium robe being too big and clipping stuff.

It would be great if they gave us Sylvari our own animations. Being humanoid is fine with me but not having the same personality/mannerisms. When Sylvari were born they should of naturally developed their own way of moving and fighting.

I don’t understand why all these things are allowed but Bandit Bombs aren’t usable in WvWvW.

Sieran was actually a very powerful elementalist though wasn’t she?
She even has a highly overpowered version of mist form .-.

Ensign.2189:

You’re better off avoiding those groups demanding a pug guardian or warrior in 20+; the vast majority of pug guardians and warriors I’ve gotten in that range have sat back with a rifle / longbow / scepter the entire run and were substantially worse than a necro/mes/ele I could have gotten.

If people don’t know how to survive without a heavy then there’s a major problem there already. ;/

I love Pvp. I love Spvp. I don’t like capture the point though over and over and over again, it gets boring. We need more modes of PvP. We need Fort Aspenwood.

Rustypipes.6238:

You could make up a back story to your lengendary that fits around the character who is using it.

You know, be creative, use your imagination.

My winter Sylvari needed something to keep himself warm in the snow and invented a dagger made of fire to do so. How’s that?

It’s not really Thief profession. It’s that Thief players probably more often build glass cannon on top of our naturally low HP. Thief can actually have some pretty high survivability. Most people I do fractal with who are glass cannon mode die RAPIDLY. I still wouldn’t mind some buffs towards our support style though.

Also, P/P doesn’t suck but it’s very situation. It’s better in a long-range fight against a single enemy cuz gravity hates cluster bomb.

Fact: basilisk venom is bugged. more-often with range weapons it simply wont work sometimes.

I have a lot of Mad King runes laying around and use a set on my warrior. I been wanting to make a set for my Thief but I can’t decide what armor set to use. :/

My Warrior uses Rampagers and the runes do a ton of damage but warrior can get away with it easier by easily having a lot of defense+crit damage. My Thief would be really squishy and could really only add Def with rings and etc or Crit DMG only and be glass cannon.

I don’t like the Medium T3 hood. It just has an odd shape. .-.

I’ll be using my starter headband forever probably. Too bad I can’t have a leafy headband.

People are just lazy and too brainwashed by MMOs that were designed to brainwash…

They will add Claws to Thief.

Who said anything about completing them? I got points just by entering them, and that same point by entering it again on alt.

It’s possible, just less chance of course. Also feel like they nerfed BLKs nowadays so probably even rarer.

Probably not. Those 200 were meant for people who fell victim to the DR bug that made them miss out on cogs.

Vasham.2408:

Angry Joe is part of That Guy With the Glasses and thus loses all credibility as a critic of anything.

Joe has been nothing but a good friend to you. Be nice.

Pretty much all the stuff only your server can do. WvW and Events mainly, like Dragons.

More likely to find Guild Banners in home world as well.

<3 Angry Joe’s reviews.

When has Pink not been a manly color? The ladies dig a studly man who supports their breast health.

I like kittens.

Don’t worry you have plenty of time to get achievement still.

Future weapon ideas for Thief; Claw.
Claws are Melee weapons that can be equipped in main or off-hand and excels most in offense, condition damage and non condition damage-over-time. The design of claws will most likely be held in hand or attached like knuckles to avoid clipping or replacing gloves, as well as making them easier to sheath them at hip. In any video game I always love hand to hand weapons like this the most.

Doesn’t have every last detail but~

——————————————————————-

~conclusion~
Feels like it’d be fun and unique way of doing condition damage. No evasion skills but there’s an off-hand counter and at least you won’t fly off cliffs as much.
What do you guys think of this skill setup? Things like ini cost, durations, bleed stacking and etc could be worked out/tweaked. For now I’m just throwing out the basic outline. I’m not sure what kinda sword/dagger dual skills there would be yet for it.
Any ideas and opinions are appreciated.

Wondering if when Ascended Armor comes out if I’m going to be completely forced to change my build because my armor set wont exist as ascended.

I wish I could of made it in time to rescue you.

Try not to do any actions when the swirly confuse icon is on you.

Why are you taking pictures when you could be giving him emergency CPR?

Mini is 350 gems~ rather expensive to convert gold to. I made the Griffon tonic and had 300 gems sitting around so I bought 50 and got the mini. 250 stuffing/glue together is like 3.5 gold or around it I think. It was only 9 copper each when I made my tonics. :s

wtf? Go sit in the corner Rustypipes.

Anyways, Guild Halls are something I defiantly miss from GW1 and was looking forward to seeing what customization options they were going to throw in… unfortunately they don’t exist yet. They are going to add them eventually, according to the official wiki.

Astralporing.1957:

Of the major stat sets, Knight (Tough/Power/Prec) is missing as well. So is Carrion and Rampager

I found a Precision/Condition/Toughness Khan-Ur one on my Carrion Thief and was gonna give it to my Rampager Warrior instead. Then I realized he’s actually better off using the normal Rampager accessories. ._. Yeah, even that one is missing. Guess no love for Support or Condition DMG period.

All Mini should be unbound, with the exception of HoM ones.

For one thing, people collect… collectibles IRL often because they grow in value and age, making them more special to them over time. They completely lose value and just don’t feel as important or special when you can’t trade them. You’re just supposed to collect and trade collectibles, and it feels taboo to make these all bound. Like my Celestial Bunny in GW1. Super rare and limited. I’d never trade it cuz I love him but I know that it has value. Makes it a better trophy.
