Guild Wars 2

Plz I see more skin passing by local high school

I think they should replace SQ with Lupi in AC. That will stop those pesky zurrrgers from stacking. Get on it ArenaNet!

xallever.1874:

Next in Anet’s amazing progression: no more reflectables in CM.

Panties and Stuff : Noooooooo!!!

Honestly give it some time. The people who arent beating her are not on the forums yet. or rather they are sneaking in groups that are probably carrying them thus they are ok… for now.

As it stands I can think its a “reasonable” challenge for any 35-40 only group. Much less one that is fully new.

DonQuack.9025:

2 ele’s? I alone can take SQ to about 1/4 health. add guildie and she dies like instantly

This is how I do it

stack might – ice bow – Ice bow 4 (guildie ice bow 4) as she walks into doorway- FGS rush (guildie fgs rush) SQ dies. guildie picks my body off the ground

Darn warriors and their hp pools.

Alternate way LH strafe with swiftness unfortunately that takes what 1-3 mins.

Don’t forget #5, those 5 seconds of people just beating her is more than enough time to down her.

Hmm.. you know I did forget about it ive only done it three times since launch so Im a bit slow

2 ele’s? I alone can take SQ to about 1/4 health. add guildie and she dies like instantly

This is how I do it

stack might – ice bow – Ice bow 4 (guildie ice bow 4) as she walks into doorway- FGS rush (guildie fgs rush) SQ dies. guildie picks my body off the ground

Darn warriors and their hp pools.

Alternate way LH strafe with swiftness unfortunately that takes what 1-3 mins.

Ele clearly wasnt me.

“Bads” dont like seeing people be better. Just got kicked after I solo’d spiderqueen for not healing the group when the aoe’s were out.

Furthermore people dont build to play with other people. Its screw you phiw. I dont recall it always being like that atleast I dont recall people using it as an excuse to screw over groups and not change. may be forgetting

Azrael.4960:

Even if one doesn’t stack, she goes down only marginally later than usual. Went with a guildie and pugs and yolo’d the queen in the open. Stacked the hatchings though, they’re annoying then just gutted the queen in the open. She really needs to be made tougher. I remember going in early on after release with other low levels (back in the day when WHOA YOU’RE LEVEL 40! COME AC WITH US!) and got shredded. With 80’s a meta gear, there’s no challenge.

Try not to forget this is still level 30 dungeon. Im reasonably sure <nonmeta’d/unknowledgeable>low levels have their own problems with her.

Though perhaps scale to number of lvl 80’s in groups or something?

Anyone Smart Asuran girls in Brooklyn wanna hang?

May want to edit out names. I believe that is the “norm”

Nabarue.3290:

Haha Flamethrower isn’t used all that much.

Say whaaaaaaaat?

aelfwe.4239:

Imao it would be nice to see some thread on forum made to explain to casual player how much important are some things in this game (aka might\fury\vuln) and the way to catch them with best weapon setup (aka hammer) as you do,

Im not sure and I may be a dash bit too lazy to check but Im reasonably sure atleast for the ele meta guide there is a whole section related to stacking might/fury. I wouldnt be surprised if it were that way for the other professions.

Necro’s gods? Oh yeah I remember now. Though to be fair I still prefer mezway.
All the cries!

Warrior is third iirc. Also iirc Ele is highest dps.

Still camps air.

Im sure professions that stealth love your suggestion.

aelfwe.4239:

mmh im not a guard but it feel like this thread is a bit “sloppy”.

If you are speaking of premade\guild party yeah staff guard isnt allowed and you all are right.

If you are speaking of pugs i really dont believe that you usually find war\ele capable to hold up 25 might stack every fight.

Common pugs party might it’s around 10/15 might stack.

I am not speaking as a guard, im speaking as a mesmer and everytime i have to pug i have (sadly) to take off a single mantra to take inspiration to 2x might cause pugs arent blasting.

So speaking of pugs i dont feel to blame a guard who is using staff to stack 12 more might before the fight to cover war and ele lack

And, on math side, if you’re party is 12 might stack rather than 25 the 12 additional stack from empowerer it’s around 10% more party dps.

10% more party dmg or hammer? kinda crap question 10% more party win. math is math.

On good party staff is crap, on normal lowend party staff add more dmg than hammer so before kick the staff guard kick the ele\war everytime you dont have 25 might stack

my 2 cents

1. Since the inception of Phalanx Ive yet to be in a group where atleast 1 war isnt it. (barring pre 80 groups)
2. Is ele that stacks might though Cant to 25
3. Most staff guards dont ONLY stack might they ^STAY^ on staff for the whole dungeon
4.LOL kick ele before guard

1. Since the “inception of Phalanx” in pugs i had only 1 phalanx war, you are really luck or you arent puggin
2. in fact i’ve spoken of ele+war not just ele, combo, ever heard of that?
3. in fact i’ve spoken of guard who HAVE to go staff when war+ele arent stack might
4. in fact i’ve spoken of ele who isnt stacking might, putting reliable vuln and using conjured on the right spot, ofc i kick him. cause its fail regardless being ele.

If there something else you have not understood but you will to change\missunderstanding feel free to keep, my eng is bad but i have patience

\ doesnt usually mean AND

but I think you know that considering you used slash @ “change\missunderstanding”

As a infantry vet thank god the real world isnt so black and white.

I actually had a bit of trouble trying to word this inoffensively.

I am not so .. simple where spelling stopping in middle of combat to hover over my name impresses my respect or adding smiles to chat ingame will somehow make me more willing to assist you when you are downed. You are on my team and based on preconceived theory of each members effectiveness they will get will get my help.

Long term pug? Ive honestly yet to run with the same pugs twice unless I initially added them to friends list. Considering that 99% of the time Im the only one that talks Im not seeing where the long term gain comes from.

Though it has got me thinking… I do yell medic or ammo only in bf4 (voice chat) perhaps that discourages my friends from wanting to give me said supplies because I dont ask for it by name.

Ill be honest I think this is some hippie shallow feelgood nonsense but Ill try to type out names more often if it pleases you people.
Didnt realise people cared that much.

DigitalKirin.9714:

People who call their teammates by their profession instead of their names.

“Hey mesmer, can I get a portal?” or “Hey guardian, go pull those mobs.” or whatever.

I hate that. -_-#

Im sorry but profession is easier/faster than typing or trying to type the names unless youre char names are sam or jane.

lol quite a chuckle.

Alora.6841:

These guys are so thankful every time. That is much more fulfilling than finishing in 30min.

What makes you think we dont do that also? That we cant enjoy separate things? Who are the people in https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Dungeon-Mentors again?

not saying Im part of mentors as I suck

studying it now /cry

DArn it befouls here now.

Guardians dont play defenders? Ele’s shouldnt use a staff? come come now.
Its not the rangers fault he wants to use a bow? Even before I knew about bowbears I was rockin the sword. Who’s fault was it that exactly?

Forum buginesssss

There is only 3 reasons I will instakick a ranger.
1. Below level req posted
2. Signet of the hunt. / Combat Healer —( NEVER SEEN A GOOD PLAYER HAVE THAT TITLE)
3. Bow in your hands.

Otherwise you get a chance. Just like engi’s. Necro’s only have 1 chance though. I see staff I kick.

@advent

Which one… Which one.. My palm hurts so bad thanks to that section.

I think i jsut got cancer reading this

The counter arguments….

Marcus Greythorne.6843:

Dalanor.5387:

Picture is related.

how boring would this game be if every player/profession would play the exact same spec. Optimized – yes. But boring.

There are tons of factors which would lead to less dps: positioning, mistakes at combo-finishers, buff-food, rotation, etc. etc. … but people prefer to have a scapegoat, in GW2 called: Ranger

I think it would be more boring to watch the respawn screen or be in a dungeon for over 1hr/1.5hr.

By this rational in fps’s the people with the highest deaths are having the most fun.

As a person who has phiw friends. It sure doesnt sound like fun when they die/ party wipes for the xth time. I get no exclamations of “YES! we have to do this mob again because we do crap damage! FEEL THE RUSH!!!”

All I get are sighs and silence.

dlonie.6547:

When you start running dungeons, this is true. It’s way more fun to play how you want, comfortably learn the dungeons at your own pace, use the playstyle you’ve been learning in open-world PvE, etc. It doesn’t matter if it takes an hour to do a path of AC, it’s all about fun.

Forgive me if this is sarcasm. But no. I have yet to encounter a group of new players who randomly did what they wanted, died repeatedly, then went “That was fun”.

Ive started pretending to be new on an alt char just to observe and most of those 100-250ap players LEAVE. And that is STORY MODE AC. Ive watched a group get stuck in the beginning of ACs and disband after 45mins because they couldnt handle the crappy spider spawns.

@above

From what I gather from forums. They can barely beat these world bosses just pressing 1. You want more? I can imagine the rage. Also IIRC some bosses did have more skills and those were nerfed because community too hards. As others have said look at Aetherpath

I can take “a lot” but it is the use of one skill that flips my switch. I also have this problem with necro’s/GS mesmers.

LB #4. It has caused me many times ingame to stop fighting, turn around, and stare at said offending char. It simply gets my panties in a bunch.

It seems new people asking for help or making their own group is too much of a hurdle. I mean crap. I whisper “Zerk” only groups before joining to ask if my Sin/Zerk mix armour is ok to join.

Wait I live in Brooklyn. I know exactly what type of people these are and they will always stay at the bottom with attitudes like that. DW soon is the day I can trial and there will be one less exp pugger in the wild.

“READ – 49 swamp ready – must love Ellie Goulding and long walks on the beach”

e-marry me?

I call nonsense on the language. Ive been in korean parties before and they typed “something” in korean. and you know what. We communicated using lines on the map.

and telepathy.

Dalanor.5387:

This is the new low.

Not as low as my next run. 5kap Guardian. CM run. I ask at beginning. “Guardian what is wall of reflection” No anwer.

After he dies a couple times I try again. He replies "What is that?’ I tell and he still doesnt slot it.

We just left him behind because he couldnt make any of the skips.

path 3 run.

80’s exp quick run

other than guild mate no one knew what to do.
No one answered questions. No one replied.
In the end they kicked instance leader. at end boss as I refused to provide reflects for them and the 3 snipers massacred them.

Quick ac p3 run- Warrior asks me to drop fgs for one of the guardians
I reply : FGS wont help crap dps
Guardian says : I am not build for dps

Now lets ignore that my lfg said things about dps.

I say Well you sure arent support
He replies : I am not built for support
I leave party

bloody christ hit enter

its painful to watch

IndigoSundown.5419:

maha.7902:

look at all that support with might, fury, reflect, blinds, aegis, stability and CC’ing bosses!

Unfortunately, people fail to see this as support because all of these can be applied without someone playing a buff-bot or heal-bot, or gearing specifically for a role to the exclusion of everything else. ANet eliminated dedicated roles, not roles — but people prefer to have their role graven in stone rather than being adopted at need in a fluid fashion.

I think its this really.

wait till its your own guild mates that say that. Tried drowning myself in my cup of tea because of that the other day.

Pls.. there isnt a day that goes by that numerous low levels beat content designed for their level. it may take time and some ingenuity but it happens.

If my internet wasnt so crap I would be doing content appropriate dungeons on my levelling warrior right now..

Dalanor.5387:

anabasis.7346:

The anti-stacking crowd keep parroting the lie that stacking allows players to somehow nullify boss mechanics in every single thread. Most of them have learned that crap in the forums from clueless players like them and asume it’s true, yet they cannot name a single boss that can be exploited like that. Furhtermore they are so ignorant that they cannot figure out that bosses use different attacks depending on whether players are in melee range or not.
The only boss that comes to mind whose attacks can be prevented by stacking is the ooze in Arah, everything else is just fine.

It’s spider queen, always that spider. And after one AC run they think that they know everything about PvE.
Even before the ferocity change two FGS rush just melted it, so new players can assume you completely negate the mechanics with corner stacking, meanwhile just two player carried them hard. I guess.

They need to solo it. Atleast in my scrubbyness found it much easier to not be in that corner. Dat weakness

CntrlAltDefeat.1465:

DonQuack.9025:

Guardians who force me to take defensive utilities on my ele instead of allowing me to go full yolo damage mode.
Ele’s that dont might stack.
Warriors that dont banner.
ANYTHING that interferes with my fire fields. Im looking at you guardians and necro’s.

“It is not selfish to live how you want to. It is only selfish when you want other people to live the way you want them to.” -Oscar Wilde.

“IDGAF” – DonQuack.9025

I dont always guardian but when I do I make sure my teammates have to worry about as little as humanly possible. Their own defensive abilities are for when my defences run out.

Clear this demon

Sam revives me just so he can see moar of this bod.

Fear no more Lilith, the Staff Pug guardian is here!

That scares me more than dying because my under leveled tush is graveling fodder.

Oh so I did a level 49 fractal with our prophet, FenrirSlakt (I only joined the group because I saw him in it) and we had 6 minutes until reset (we wanted to finish after reset). So we get Mai trin to her final phase and we have 6 minutes… so we kite her around not hitting her but our staff guard is.

The prophet whispers me “if he were hitting her with something other than staff I’d we worried”.

The prophet has spoken and thus it shall be known: bring staff guards if you need to kill time.

Ps. That kitten staff guard got a fractal mace, but he already had it. -.-

Oh and then the prophet soloed 5% of the aetherpath final boss for us. Hail the prophet!

nice, I love mace, so much support. But staff is better because I can stay ranged and support, while doing almost as much as a full meta berserker build**
