Guild Wars 2

1: depends how you use them, i find mine lasting a few hits but illusions literally are distractions not tanking tools, and as you get higher in level and unlock more skills and traits you will find it easy as pie to get out illusions at a whim, so bear with it for now.

2: what about weapon switching back to Gsword and blowing them all away? also as mobs do run towards you, you can blurr when they get to you then illusionary then run away then leap, this confuses the AI for a little while so dont just depend on this for offensive uses, you can get quite inventive, jumping off a ledge in PvP then porting back up with leap is fun.

3: use storm offensivley it adds conditions to foes and in turn increases your warlocks damage for the conditions time period, which can be alot.
as for armor thats the one i personally use mostly for defensive purposes, or kamakaze! also the backwards blink is usefull you can shatter for distortion or cripple to gain more space and time too, or use it as a diversion to ranged dealers.

4: mind stab applies 5 vulnerability stacks and will increase your damage by 5% so dont knock it its pretty sweet just have to get used to it but have that stack up warlock and berserker and wow, watch them drop.

for future reference my mindsab hits for arounf 700- at 35 so definatly nothing to sniff at!

Vulnerability is a condition which increases damage the target takes by 1%. stacking up to 25 times.

as for the focus the wall pulling i find most usefull in WvW or sPvP to get people away from points or off ledges.

Budg.3064:

I guess teleporting would be the wrong word to use for this skill. It seems to accelerate your character across the terrain at a very high speed towards the selected location. This means any obstacles in the way will hinder this, including walls, ledges, gaps, rocks, trees etc. All because your simply moving towards the selected area and not actually disappearing and reappearing there. A lot of games treat their ‘teleport’ skills like this.

as said above you can teleport over gaps and i also teleport up some parts of the map (to ledges etc) mostly with forts and walls etc. and i also more or less every day teleport over fences rocks and the like.

Area.7480:

Engineer seems to get this pirate/cowboy style. Our hats are awesome (but masks are not) and since armor is pretty much invisible due to our size, I don’t really care.

i thought praite/cowboy was rangers?

i still like my armor to look good even if we are small, when people look you can still see all the detail and such etc.

haha this would be nice, however i feel my lowley asuran engineer does definatly feel asuran…meh, not im going to constantly look a tthe turrets….thanks!

fair doo’s my freind!

i have been playing since headstart day 1 (though im not 80 just yet) and im wondering was it all the way through or just nearer the end(s)of the storys and DE locations? i havnt seen or heard anything miss matching in my time :P

a problem? ok… i know this isnt a single player but for instance Skyrim has no repair costs and nothing to spend your gold on and no consequences.

do you really want a game like that? no conseqences for the wrong choices and nothing to spend your gold on? even if it is repairs? pfft sorry but i cant understand that point of view howeber i do respect it.

‘’No More Grind’’

i cant see any grind what so ever all i see is an enjoyable experence, now if working or earning money to get a new set you might like is a grind then i see no future for gaming, if theres nothing to work towards even as little as armor sets for vanity as is GW2 or dungeons to get an item then i dont think the MMO is for you, hell alot of games arnt.

grind to me means: the same thing over and over and over and over with no enjoyment.

now while we do alot of dungeons the explorable modes are genius, different bosses etc? yes please a different experence whenever we enter and theres so MANY DE’s (1500 i belive which also trigger some minor others) they all have story and dilouge and im sorry but if you dont like story and dilouge and learning about this fantasy world them the MMORPG is probably not the right choice of gaming.

Negativity? bleh, ignore it all unless its constructive.

1. i have seen stacked condition and toughness specs along with a bunch of other so i guess so, just remember glass canon is glass canon and then theres the rest

2. yep, some of our phantasms will Combo with chaos storm i.e. duelist and our no.2 great sword skill, also its optimal (imo) to not use Choas storm and armor together unless theres no choice.

3. we arevery PvE viable, i felt slow until lvl 10 then its been picking up speed like a rocket ever since, not trouble in solo or groups for me at all, infact i seem to die less in groups than other classes i partner with (from guild) also we can spread all our boons to our allies with a signet so everything we gain from armor and our storm filed we can spread at a whim or any others we pick up along the way.

4. they all deal damage how they should, atleast when i have tested them, however the pathing can be a pain if you hit mind wreck they have to run to the target, im used to this now and am enjoying the challenge but PvP is more problematic for this and not so much PvE in my experience as mobs as always are pretty predictable.

5. completley depends on your playstyle and build, mine is a might stacking build so for example if i need to shatter or want to i will but generally theres two sources of damage me and my warlock phantasm.

6. again depends on play style i have seen what feels like hundreds ill list a few.

scepter/torch(or focus) + Staff – Condition damage
Gsword + Staff – might stacking (my build) and other variations too.
Staff + Sword/Pitsol – Condition and power/procession stacking
sword/torch + scepter/Focus – condition stacking with some melee mixed in but mainly for the dodge + leap skill

then comes the trait lines all these can be compared with condition spreading, crippling, reflection, might, retaliation etc etc,

the list goes on and on we are blessed with all the viable options we have, the ones here are just the ones i have tried but i love my Gsword + Staff!

7. phantasms seem fine illusions also seem fine the only issues i have noticed is the pathing when shattering, oh and illusionary leap is bugged with some terrain.

other: do not limit yourself and experiement we have TONS of options and styles of play available.

Then it hit me, this forum or n general has turned into a lot of crying and complains. There are a few lights in the dark.

let me guess, Apple?

there is actually an app for youtube inbedded videos….

this however is why i prefer android.

on topic: i will comment on the video later, currently i am at work

completeley agree!

Thanks.

block them.

it doesnt matter what game or company gold sellers will always be around on any game with currency you have to accept this, with every system put in place to catch them and stop them theres another system/program (software) to counteract this.

having Spvp and WvW/PvE separete is personally something i really enjoy however your right it does not feel like my character.

i beleive the ’’skin’’ your wearing in PvE should be carried over i dont see why the looks of things have to change and you can ofcourse ignore the PvE side still as the stats would change to those in sPvP to keep it all on level ground.

Personally i am playing a Great Sword + Staff Might build, i can link the build if your interested but i have a ton of utility and capabilities, i also use signets and it does baffle me why most mesmers i see dont use them they really are quite good…though then again my build is around two of them.

i can get out of almost any situation with this build the damage comes from me (not my phantasms) with a balanced condition/power so the sword hits respectfully and when my warlocks up he deals respectfull amounts too but the combination of direct + condition damage is very fun.

as for other builds i use i do run a Scepter/Torch (or focus) + Great sword build which is all on condition (i just LOVE greatswords…so yeh most of my builds try to include this)

to be honest i havent used a pistol in god knows how long, i always keep one available just incase though.

Im in the same boat as the guy above at the moment except for the level 80 part, however i am concerned about the longetivity as i can see myself getting to a point and thinking ;

‘’right i love how i look i have the pvp gear i also have dungeon gear and 100% map completion along with max crafting and some awesome stuff from that…a few puzzles left but ultimatley played WvW to death…now what?’’

what kept me playing alot of tittles, WoW/SC1+2/LoL to name a few was the competition in pvp now while there is no clear cut competition in pvp (no official ranking system) how can i motivate myself to put in hours and hours of pvp like i did in previous tittles?

when the patches come and the first expansion hits at some point ill obviously have a TON more to do.

now i love this game to bits every single part of it but i do feel there’s something ’’missing’’ however Anet did say they can siwtch on/off some DE’s to keep the game fresh so who knows maybe theres a completley new Orr out there, ay? or Queensdale (yeh i know low lvl but w/e!) etc…im very intreaged to see where this goes.

as for my WoW days me and a freind bought GW2 and are currently umming and arring over MoP i know for a fact all i wil do is rush to 90 for the pvp season then play the hell out of that (i would continue GW2, cant see myself ’’quitting’’….ever really, conidering tha pace im going at the momento) one things for certain i dont feel like WoW is for me anymore and GW2 is currently…well amazing.

how do you repeat them by relogging? once there done there done i thought?
