Guild Wars 2

It must have burned guangs health down completely.
382 * 80 = 30560 (Berserker Set) or 250 * 80 = 20000 (Base Power).
I don’t really see how thats a reliable test.

Bright.9160:

Also yeh Dub being a hypocrite when it comes to Arah exploits is nothing new.

I guess exploiting path 4 is also morally wrong now?

Of course it is, doing Melandru isn’t any better though. kitten people, don’t slay happy plants!

I feel so left out when I dont know any of these skip lupi exploits.

I can show you one for 50g

I would show him some for 0c.

Yes.

When i tested it a few month ago on howling king, it was 70 ticks. And that test was probably more reliable than any other, since i don’t know another boss that stands exaclty inside you and has a huge hit circle.

We served 47 exploiting sellers with gw2lfg bans. Only one seller stayed untouched, he was the only one who did Lupicus…

Didn’t you help discover the exploit in the first place? Most likely doing it yourself for a period of time (and profit) and now you’re suddenly “anti-exploiting” because you can now quickly and reliably solo/duo Lupicus yourself?

Dub is not a saint, he is a dark knight.

I’m the Joker.
“huehuehue”

Exploiting isn’t allowed, we just do Anet’s job.
Also they don’t get permanent bans.

From gw2lfg.com. Sadly noone of us is in the position to ban people ingame.

I don’t see those activities much in NA servers and I have looked at LFG website for those like 4 or 5 times. Wrong timing for me or is it a normal thing for EU servers?

The EU player base is.. special. American players who keep complaining about pugs should transfer to EU for a week and see what a terrible pug community actually looks like. Unless it dramatically changed since I transferred to US servers, the average EU pug couldn’t even handle something like AC so the fact that there is a massive spam of arah path selling and a market that can support that many sellers doesn’t surprise me. And that was the AC pre-revamp. I don’t even want to imagine what AC pugs are like post revamp.

And on US servers you don’t get kicked for meleeing lupi.

Hmm, in the only american path 3 arah pug (experienced only) i was told that i am a firsttimer because i did hunter first (while they were wiping on poison field). When we reached Lupicus they attempted to kick me for meleeing instead of killing their grubs.

Same. Where are all these mythical Arah sellers?

Oh no.

But why.

Or to dash his head with fruits.

No time to use Signet of Fire.
Though, getting it done faster isn’t about adding damage at all.

It’s haviz.

You don’t glitch alphard, it’s just a kittened boss mechanic that allows you to do the fight without much risk. Anyone who ever tried doing tgis boss legit either ended up pulling him out of range so he doesn’t daggerstorm (exploit), tried meleeing him and bugged him (exploit) or ranges him (tends to exploit too). Or you use one of those endless safespots (obviously exploit).
And Belka: well yeah, it might be impossible to solo this boss full melee as warrior without going ooc to regen health once in a while.

Opening strike applies 20 stacks of vuln?

Useless for the kill, though. Vuln gets to 25 in Phase 1 almost instantly anyway, quick vuln stacking is needed in phase 2 before first aoe projectiles get reflected.

Uhm, just realized you had 15 points in Domination. Why didn’t you use daze mantra then?

Well, if you have not been too lazy to change traits it would be 18 stacks from one warrior and 5 from you. 2 stacks should come from Ele Air 25.

I didn’t participate but the reason for using a second warrior might have been OMM!.

Yeah, he usually unleashes his projectiles in two waves and 2-3 projectiles slightly after.

Perception > Bloodlust.

You would use 10/30/0/25/5 then, i guess?

Why perception?

And I just run 10/30/0/30/0, there doesn’t seem to be anything worth sticking 5 points in besides inspiration, might as well take a grandmaster trait.

Perception tends to be > bloodlust in ideal cases, thieves being the only exception I can think of (that I know of), since they can hit 100% crit chance without it. Math might work out differently for Mesmers in terms of Phantasms, but in terms of reflects – bloodlust isn’t helpful.

Guardian and Ranger don’t really have a use for Perception stacks. Bloodlust tends to be better for them.

When using WoR Perception is always better than Bloodlust.

I just use Signets on my Guardian.

Everyone uses Signets on Guardian. Signet of Mercy, Wrath and Judgement OP.

I believe 300 precision, 30% critdamage and 4% per readied mantra increase your dps more than 15% for your phantasms only.

colesy.8490:

So how does the DPS of 3x duelist hold up to say, a guardian with greatsword/sword+focus?

I’m 90% sure that Swordsmen are better than Duelists.
And a Mesmer with 3 fully buffed Swordsmen does more dps than any other profession except ele.

But this won’t ever happen, in any common situation mesmer have the lowest dps output.

Writing ‘text’:link with " instead of ’.

Wow!

I usually don’t give a kitten what random people say but this is worth an infraction.

I wonder if Lupicus clicks his skills.

Probably he does, i don’t.

…Wait……. So you are…. Playing as Lupicus in all of your solos?

I wish i was :/

TheMaskedParadigm.3629:

I wonder if Lupicus clicks his skills.

Probably he does, i don’t.

haviz.1340:

Also, if I noticed that correctly, riposte won’t block for first 0.25s, just like whirlwind attack.

Yes. Probably a bit less than 0.25s, though.

Gary Bobby Ferguson.3980:

Most of the success videos don’t get the bubble spawned on them in phase 3. Is that just luck?

Positioning, not luck.

No, i like him. He actually doesn’t die, it’s more like he plays with you and when he gets bored he takes a little break.

haviz.1340:

You have no right to say that, you don’t do fractals.

Okay, so: anyone who can’t solo Lupicus on at least 7 different professions is a bad player!

I’m a bad player.

I’d also like to add that anyone who can’t melee ashym in phase 3 is a bad player.

Where exactly do you draw the line between a good and a bad player?

Haviz, when will you be online?

It could. But since the block radius is smaller than your character i better won’t realy on it :P

Yeah but thats mostlikely cased by people standing too close (rapidfire has a minimum range). The range warden stands at when starting his whirl attack (first time after spawning him) usually gets you the most rapidfires. But… 5 minutes of zero rapidfires?

Did they… somehow change Lupicus attacks? In 5 minutes of phase 3, standing in my warden (perfect rapidfire range) i got zero rapidfires.

Please only post videos in original speed from start to end. I can’t determine the time otherwise.

OT: What gear have you been using? Seems like rampagers/rabid?

Noes!

Watch my ele duo, you can see sone use of FGS at the end of phase 1 there. Sadly using it in phase 2 and 3 might be a bit too hard for me.

So this is what you were doing instead of getting me some 38’s done!

Good job.

I never said that one was a solo, it was a duo.
But yeh, i was experimenting with the new fresh air trait so i didn’t choose damage traits. Also i suck at playing ele, a perfect ele solo would probably be fastest possible if you don’t count in mesmers with insane RNG.

Who cares about wrongbows, bearbow rangers new meta.

… seriously, whole EU (and NA) lagging like kitten, 10-40 second delays on chat and whatever else. It happened now three times in three days (i’ve been online ~2 hours, at least 1:30 hours extreme lags) and just doesn’t allow fun while playing.

Take down the servers, do some maintenance, fix all bugs and get servers up then again. Can’t be so hard, huh?

My calculations tell me something about 12.5k dps without even using autoattacks. On 0/30/0/10/20. For 120 seconds.

haviz.1340:

Dub.1273:

Elementalists could do even faster, it’s just a lot harder. Using Fiery GS in Phase 3, rushimg against a wall… ugh.

Ele high dps builds are leecher builds, they are bad for solo.

Nevertheless does an Ele using FGS against a wall better dps than a warrior.
