Guild Wars 2

Ranger.

Better said: You couldn’t do worse.

Easily 80% of my posts get infracted.

I truly fail to see any use for that.

I will sell you eternity for 4500g.

4:40 5% HP left. Fumblesteps. Faces Me. AoE Lifeleeches. Fumblesteps. AoE Lifeleeches.
But yeah, usually it’s a quite good tell.

I calculated it just on the armor stats, nothing else.

Even if you are wearing armor pieces/trinkets/weapons/traits without any of these stats (i hope such do not exist…), you’d still have at least level 60 base stats.

This is a completely invalid argument for saying scholar>ruby.
A rune of 166 power would be better than a rune with 165 power and 10000000000000000000% critdmg then, whereas in reality… well, you know.

Get autoclicker on Stand your Ground/Dolyak Signet (traited) and you can afk the abomination.

I’m an overlord. Lupicus fears my fear of killing him.

Sorry to tell you brazil but that’s really bullkitten.

Why would you ever use rampagers on an elementalist?

Rune of the Ranger is partially better than Scholar.

Ohgawd, fresh air…

Well, gs damage is really kitten, you could have as well been using axe the, benefitting of 10% damage and not having to dodge. I’m not completely sure about sword damage but from what i saw ingame it seems to be about 150% gs/axe damage, at least.

Guardian 1h sword autoattack can go something like 6k-6k-15k which is around 11k DPS.

Warrior axe will go something like 5k-5k-5k-5k-5k-10k which is less DPS than guard since axe auto chain is 3.6s versus the 2.5s of sword chain, plus the damage is backloaded so if you don’t get that final swing your DPS drops further.

More like 7.8k 7.8k 15k, resulting in 12.24k dps.
Warrior 6.2k 6.4k 6.4k 6k 6k 13k, resulting in 12.22k dps.
This would be more realistic in a situation with same buffs. Unscathed Contender not being met. Adding Unscathed Contender’s 20% damage gets guardian dps to 14.688k with only sword auto chain. Considering optimal rotations for both, guardian and warrior and a huge sized target, guardian dps would go to ~17.6k dps whereas warrior dps would go to ~14.0k dps.

If you can’t keep up unscathed contender its 14.68k (guardian) vs 14.02k (warrior) in optimal rotations. I was considering a guardian rotation resulting in a 20% dps increase and a warrior rotation as 15% dps increase.

Lupicus doesn’t like being “instagib’ed”.

Do some FGS calculations please

Surely 0/20/25/25/0 is more dps when you consider all boons being permanently up.

Thats a bit much but… yeah.

Wethospu.6437:

So all classes are now below my “op” 15 minutes solo?

Ranger isn’t – with the potential on ~6 minutes.

But you’re sacrificing other stats than precision for that, too.
Like taking Signet of Fury instead of Might on a warrior or using subpar 100prec/10%critdmg food.

spoj.9672:

What do you use to get the ranger runes bonus?

My imaginary moa pet.

TheMaskedParadigm.3629:

Even without the 10% damage bonus Scholar Runes should still be better.

No.

Ranger and Eagle are (always) better than Ruby Orbs anyway.

When i was advertising “READ: Story Speedrun, Level 80, Berserker Gear, Melee only!” in the AC section yesterday, i got around 20 people joining. You can basically put them into 3 kinds.
1. Wasn’t able to read, doesn’t respond in partychat, doesn’t fit any criteria.
2. Did read the lfg, responds in partychat, doesn’t fit any criteria.
3. Fits all criterias, did read the lfg, does respond in partychat, was looking for explorable mode or another dungeon.

Honestly, i did not get a single non kittened player. Same with selling, some people think you pay them gold to assist you at bloodstone shard, most people didn’t read “READ: Selling!!! Path 4…” and some people don’t even know what arah or gold is.

There should be something done about this.

Smooth and clean run from what i see, although i’m not much into CM.
Good job.

That would be nice.

Ranger and Eagle are (always) better than Ruby Orbs anyway.

I even kill the champ spiders in my solo runs.

Fun.

Even EU pugs know DnT.

Even if conditions did twice as much damage as now (resulting in about being 150% of a berserkers builds damage) it would not be viable. Not even with three times as much damage. Before you’re able to apply any meaningful conditions, mobs will die. Before those conditions deal their damage, bosses die.

Also, why would you reward such play? Using rabid gear makes a warrior with healing signet, dolyak signet and lifesteal food able to facetank phase 1 and most of phase 3. I was even able to solo him with a 500 ping. I took two rapidfires in my face and still did it. If anything about condition damage shall be changed, it’s the stat combinations with them.

Finally, i’d like a “dungeon hardmode” where all enemies do 15x their current damage. Doing skips would be a real challenge then, aswell as a risen illustionist would probably let our parties wipe over and over.

I have 10129% more empyreal fragments than dragonite ore.

No, this is no joke.

I’d really like to see a “playing the game” arah path 1 run. Make sure to kill all oozes spawning before you deliver tears of the ancient because you know, that would be cheesing.

I watched two seconds of it. Until i realized it was 1 hour long.

5 Warriors, one guardian? Did our pseudo 6-men tactic spread?

Then i’d have 20000% more ascended weapons than i currently do.

Probably because that boss doesn’t drop loot, never, never ever?

Interesting, i might be mistaken then. I didn’t use it often enough to judge.

It did, it just didn’t prevent you from landing somewhere you didn’t want to land.

Oh yeah, you’re always using Mass Invisibility, Blink, Feedback and taking your time to swap utilities and recharge your skills after ooze.
You can apply same on all arah path 2 and 3 skips so that isn’t really an argument. Not to mention you don’t even need any skills but some stability to do path 2 and 3 skips, not even movement skills. I did them on low level toons several times, not sure if i could say same about path 1 skips if i try (surely with stealth or tons of movement skills, but not with just walking).

Mission succeeded.

Ray of Judgement is X/Focus #4 and has nothing to do with greatsword, pulls or mesmers.

Said no decent mesmer ever.

;)

Decent parties usually don’t always use mesmers.
Also, GS#5 can be an efficient way to pull mobs together, although it’s situational.

I wonder if you’d consider me as a decent mesmer now.

Dub

Since when does mesmer gs #5 count as a “pull”?

…

wat

I haven’t been talking about mesmer gs #5 at all in my first post, have i been?

Since when does mesmer gs #5 count as a “pull”?

The missing condition remove actually has more effect on me than the leap which can be 100% replaced by leap of faith.

Next update: Leap of Faith can’t be used in dungeons anymore.

Dub.1273:

Whenever you need a pull but focus 4 is on cooldown or wouldn’t recharge quick enough for the next, more important pull.

If the next pull is more important then don’t do the first pull.

I can’t think of a situation where that applies either, nor would I ever want to use a low DPS weapon with four poor skills and a bad autoattack just for an unreliable push.

Wasn’t the discussion about guardian gs #5?

Whenever you need a pull but focus 4 is on cooldown or wouldn’t recharge quick enough for the next, more important pull.

SE path 1, first pull. Just one example.

Situational? Yes.
