Guild Wars 2

nope not in the slightest

I think what I said wasn’t fully comprehended. Adding TA to your list doesnt change the statement.

Not liking one dungeon does not make the statement dungeons are great any less true.

Guild FOEFIRE [FOE]
Server- Blackgate

Issue- Q’d Politics 3 one day ago Log on today- Gone. Would appreciate assistance.

Try to have a good day guys!

Like 90% (made up number) of the skills on the staff combo. If I am playing and I dont see combo’s flying off near nonstop I am playing wrong. This is my playstyle.

If I am playing with another player and they arent darned well frost armoured, 6+ stacks of mighted, perma swifted, and have so many stacks of regen(time) on them they bleed water then I feel bad.

Havent seen that yet in Blackgate thank BOB!

All you other servers gonna hate but we don’t discriminate

Blazin at the nav point!

I would have to firmly disagree as to your terms of uselessness. Perhaps your spec differs from mine. I should not I usually roll in a group, and I am all about the combo’s.
PvE
I will begin with saying “the rain dance” bwe eles know this.
Next I will say- Not everything is about the damage.

Blasting staff trait to make all staff aoe’s larger (i think its blasting staff)

Earth- hands down my fav skill. Free blast finisher with bleed yes thank you.

Follow with choice of water or fire, Combo field. Took evasive arcana? Have a sigil of energy in your weapon? Youre about to become a combo GOD. Have arcane blast?

Hard to land? AOE’s were only hard to land during that stress test where everything ran from you and even then it wasnt hard. You merely had to snare first.

I think the reason you have problems is how you are trying to play the class, though I will admit waters primary attack is near useless.

Also “It’s almost never a good idea to switch attunements mid combat, as you’ll lose most of your DPS.”

Did you just say that? You seem to be stuck on dps is the only way to do things.

you know there are bags that"try" hold specific things. That being said I have never had the problem of searching for 5 minutes to locate a secondary weapon when I wanted to switch. maybe its because I have played games which had none- absolute trash inventory management thus I can make it work.

issacTheMarker.8530:

Frankly i don’t feel the need to switch attunements unless i’m doing a group kill or dungeon in which case i might throw a heal out or something.

I think that says it all.

“But they should not require preparation, reading guides, having the proper build, having good gear, or locking you into using one particular weapon or play-style. They should not require guildies/friends only, nor voicecom. Easy mode should be easy.”

But explorable doesnt require that either?

kite. the same thing you do in almost every other game.

They overestimated the ability of some of the players?

LanceHavenbay.2067:

I’ve done the dungeon with insanely good PvP players, Vets from GW1, and although it is a whole server effort, we have had 100% WvWvW control multiple times. Yet in AC we wiped so hard. I’ve been with 8 different teams, all of which have done plenty of other dungeons. And the whole dungeons was a mix of going down, WP run back, repeat. No one got past Vassar and hiss gf. I’ve spent 70 silver in repairs and gotten maybe 4 silver from loot in return. It was not enjoyable, and I honestly will never play that dungeon again. I’ve rather enjoy my game than Death Level some ghosts for an ugly piece of armor.

You realise that the wifey hubby team can be chain kd’d with the rocks right? As in they never get a chance to do anything? As in 3 on wifey to kill her slightly faster and 2 on the hubby to make sure he doesnt get close. Pick up rock throw. Pick up rock throw, wait 5 mins if using only rocks dead. Heck I wonder if that is an exploit or working as intended.

Perhaps if you didnt realise they were stronger if standing together but come on. Some one must have noticed the hearts when they got in range of each other and said something.

Bah who needs runs? Ill talk my guildmates into running it. Drop a pm and Ill be glad to turn you into one of the leet pro l2pers. Kidding aside. If you havent finished it, ill be glad to help.

Ah i also got that

Myron.7513:

*snip

It can be completed by casuals. Just not all. How low do you want to go?

90% of my explorable runs for ALL dungeons are pug. With no more communication than. “Hix5, Going in. Watch out for adds. good run. again?” Gear setup? Other than guildmates I have yet to ask anyone what they are wearing for anything other than the skin.

You may misinterpret this as me saying I am godlike, but no explorable/story can be completed solo, I attribute any and all success to the versatility and resolve of the groups I have been in.

That being said they already “nerfed” it from the bwe’s I presume they probably will again if there is enough outcry, BUT seeing as forums are usually a vast minority I doubt it would be solely because of thread on here asking for it.

Also anyone notice in CM you get a red target denoting who is going to be shot? Do you also get a red target thing below your feet in sPvP?

okI will admit We ran our lvl25 thief guildmate through AC story and he didnt die when he did what I told him to do.

You are right the game doesn’t really tell you how to use your skillls, set up traits and such. I personally always thought that was a great selling point. Up until yesterday or the day before I had 3-4 different sets of armour on my char at all times. Each specialised in a different role.

TA story. my first time was walked through by an experienced player. PUG. He explained every last detail. He cracked jokes.

We spent the first 5mins going over some rules about who to target first and what skill s we had avail that we could use. I was s/d ele. He told me for the the “room with the nightmare peeps” get infront of eir and use the staff, 4 ability which reflects projectiles, then when it gets close to cooldown drop glyph of storm on her for blinding then tornado her whilst they got rid of her.

We wiped 3 times that whole run. Once meeting the knight the first time. We sorta didnt pull out of hallway and got steamrolled. 2 and 3 because we got distracted after killing eir and forgot to scare away that other weedwoman and she got rezzed.

As for all dungeons being easy l2p. No they arent. BWE1 everyone was crying kholer was the most op sob around. It took my pug group 2 wipes for everyone to say he is moving too much. I went chill/ blind/ immob, a second person went the same. we sat and talked fro about 5 mins then tried again. wiped. Lets try again. Kicked his BUTT easily.

Tried it again with guildmates. wiped like crazy they screamed it was BS OP nonsense. Then I told them you could dodge the throw out thingies.

they raged because I didnt tell them. I simply said " you think anyone told me bwe1?" Wouldnt you feel more kickbutt if you solved your own problems instead of me telling you “what skills to use, when to use them, how to use them”? Why not jsut give me your account and I will explore for you, I will play for you, I will spend hours trying to get to thatkittenrich copper vein hidden in that jumping puzzle, and when I get screenshots of me and that 1 other person who didnt give up with me, I will tell you about it. We then went on tokittenhim and his silly dagger throwing butt in silence.

It is not learn to play, Its learn to observe, look for patterns, stop & communicate, and realise that everything will not run the same for each group.

for cem I usually do the one with protecting the guy near the table. My pug groups usually have enough dps to just stand there and laugh at the gravelings. My guild doesnt have the right kind of dps. we wiped alot. Then hadaal said look at the order at which they come out. take that one that one then this one that one that one. BOOM done no whipe. All because he paid attention during our failed attempts and noticed the pattern. What that pattern is? I dont know I refuse to run it with anyone but him now and he just tells me where to stand. (hypocrisy i knowXP)

run on sentence, lack of proper punctuation bah humbug ill save all that for my research papers not for a game forum

MMO expert? I dont think so. GW1 Fallen Earth STO HKO GW2 couple chinese/korean untraslated tossed in there thats it.

hmm dont take the arcane trait evasive arcana, also dont take any of the traits that damage on attunement switch.

It probably means that " you are invulnerable to new forms of damage?" It is not a condition clear & invuln.

turn off auto target?

^^ I actually preferred her that way.

Jnaathra.6549:

I have a level 80 Elementalist and I would trade her for a lvl 80 of any other class in a split second. I am inferior to just about anything when it comes to staying alive in dungeons and some of the best played Elementalists are still a handicap for your team in Spvp.

Get a ranger T.A explorable. enjoy the poison is what I want to say xP instead I will say, … the grass is always greener…

parrk.4690:

I just don’t see where people think we are so weak that they have to reroll just to enjoy the game.

Its quite easy to see parrk. Its the people who when rerolling will see another class can do better and reroll to that one. They simply follow what is the fotm.
They simply play how they now to and/or how they enjoy. It is not wrong just let them.

GW1 ele main from day 1 – now gw2 ele main from day 1 – to whenever they kick me out.

Dabrixmgp.4758:

Why would I want an elementalist when I can bring another Warrior or Guardian? Why anyone want want to bring an inferior class is beyond me. Its the same reason during Vanilla WoW no one wanted Ret Paladins in groups.

Now the real question would be " Why is it just bring another warrior or guardian?" Ofcourse since that qoute didn’t include any other professions then it isn’t really elementalist specific is it?

My personal answer would be though " Because we can. " This is not wow vanilla, this is Gee Dubz 2, an bigger brother to Gee Dubz.

Now did I say anything about tPvP? My only mention of gameplay type was C.o.F. PvE good sir. That may make me a carebear but I can only speak for what I know and since the O.P talked of being turned down on a dungeon run and spvp, I specifically talked of the one I knew.

I have been in many runs. I have seen many professions played badly, but then I have seen the same professions do wonderfully by different people.

People speak of thieves doing wonderfully but I consistently see them on their backside. People speak of engi’s doing wonderfully yet for *all*"that i have seen" of them all is see is drop turret throw grenades throw grenades throw grenades.

Now I should perhaps edit my original post to say “The problem is not always with the profession but sometimes it is the players”

note nowhere did I say I was personally good at anything I attribute any success and overall effectiveness to the teamwork and ability of my lovely guildmates. &helpful chaps/lasses on my friendslist

parrk.4690:

My thoughts are these: GW2 content is not difficult in my experience. Anyone who thinks that it is necessary to exclude an entire profession from consideration in order to beat GW2 content is not someone you want to run with anyway.

^^

Also LOL I want to see a engi, mes, or necro toss out the damage to solo take out end boss C.o.F run, on first pass.

My guild runs it with whatever the players who are there want to use. We finish between 15-20 minutes no matter the profession involved(optimal team is less than 15 we shall time this weekend)

The problem with the profession just like the thieves and engi’s I have seen is not the professions themselves, but the players.

Did you have a @plaync account? your serial key shows up there i think.

You will watch your tongue even more if your whole access to the game was dependant on it.

!Our logo would be here if it were allowed!

F O E F I R E!

Gameplay Type

PvX… we want to do it all! To do that, we’re going to need help with support for PvE, SPvP, and WvW. We don’t do RP formally, but light RP is most definitely acceptable, and we may increase the amount of RP if there is demand.

Server

We are on BLACKGATE! Don’t hate! US/ International.
Do I have to be on your server to join the Foefire? No! Guild Wars 2 allows players to join and participate with guilds that are not on the same server. It’s great if you can be on the server, but server populations/demand may not allow that.

Our Structure

Foefire is led by a Game Leader, his Executive Officer, and his senior staff. Interested in a position? Contact information is located at bottom of post.

Our Leadership

Our senior officers herald from leadership in other GameGrinders games. That experience coupled with their enthusiasm for the success a Guild Wars 2 guild, makes them a solid choice for leadership.

Our Members

Our members vary between new recruits to seasoned veterans, from numerous other GameGrinders games. For information on joining, check out the bottom of this thread.

Our Parent Organization

GameGrinders is a multi-gaming organization, that is now opening a Guild Wars 2 division and we want you to join us!

We are friendly with anyone ages 18+, with laid-back, casual attitudes, who like to hang-out and kill stuff. We also don’t sweat about real life aggro, of all varieties. We all have to deal with some, in one form or another. Well, most of us do… some of our members get to sit on their a$%@ all day and play video games, while others have jobs and kids who have to be a part of every extra-curricular activity known to man. But I’m not jealous. Where was I? Oh, yeah…

Simply put, we just want to game with like minded people, who have their priorities straight and just like playing the hell out of games whenever they can.

We didn’t start the fire, it was always burning since the world been turning. We didn’t start the fire! No! We didnt light it but we tried to fight it!
