Please hit me with any kind of feedback
I’ll hit you with some love for this calculator
I have all the different videos that were submitted, and I can assure everyone that since this is a tribute compilation, I’ll be using every video to its fullest
I have nothing from Heimdall though.
EU here : I also kinda have to do it for achievements purposes… If you don’t mind
Buying gold from third party websites is clearly banned by Anet. Plus, it’s buying ingame currency with real world currency. It isn’t the same as exchanging ingame money for an ingame service.
Your comparison is simply bad.
An i’ll add another thing, the theory is that if there are potential buyers, there is an offer. Thus the fact that there are buyers for “chinese” gold, implis that there is an offer. It doesn’t justify buying from them, it justifies their existence

Shameless bump, as always !
I’ve reached the point where I need to have the names of those who submitted videos/had reached a really high level and were featured in said videos.
Sanderinoa took the time to contact me ingame and express his thoughts on what had been the real difficulty and gave me a personnal comment as well. If everyone could do it I’d be like super pleased and could take the tribute a step further.
And please, don’t let this thread die
Man there are over 9000 topics related to kicking. I’ve never been kicked in a year of pugging, but reading all these posts makes me think about the matter.
Just endure it, find a PvE guild or build your friendlist and this’ll never happen again
Edit : beaten by Jerem, meh ;_;
My suggestion would be for you to your personal story and the dungeon’s story modes in level order.
Fact is, from personal story level 30 to 80 you do not meet any Destiny’s Edge members, but every dungeon story has something to do with them.
If you want to have the best possible experience destiny-wise, I’d say read the second GW2 novel, then create a new character of the race you prefer and do the quest/story modes in order. You’ll understand a lot about GW2’s story by the way, and some parts of the Living Story thus far
Some people are far from mean !
I mean yesterday I talked for like 6 hours with deSade, we had fun, laughed, etc We even talked about cooking.
If you have a bad dungeon group, just talk with someone nice to have a good time !
I think we’d need the originals, so as not to mess up the video quality by downloading from YT.
It is an excellent initiative IMO, I just hope someone has good video editing skills out there Maybe something like a video merge by changing players when scenes overlap would be doable ? Or you can state exactly what you were thinking of !

So, a little intervention on my part
My post wasn’t made to be cynical, it was only made so as to show everyone in the dungeon subforums that the people who are generally the victims of all the flaming are the ones who hold us dear in their hearts. They helped us so much that we need to at least say some thanks as some are thinking about leaving.
And as such I’ll add a note about other people I’d like to thank. So thanks to all the team from the Ascension Project, Sanderinoa, Zelyhn, TheKillerAngel and also to the contestants who showed true skill and gave us something to watch and learn from !
Guys I’m so happy to have received some feedback, I was afraid all of you had definitely lost all faith in the forums and went separate ways.
Even if I’m the only one who made a topic to thank you all for your work, there are so many people in the same situation !
Oh and spoj, that time when I asked you about necros in FoTM was shortly after I did my first spoj ever It felt awesome :p
I hope that the other great players will read this topic and find a little of the fulfillment they should have gotten as community contributors.
P.S : My only regret is that now that you’ll (probably) be gone for a while, I won’t have awesome guilds to look forward to entering while doing hardcore content :/
And for Dub, frenchies rock and our language isn’t that hard, we do not have declension like in german, just so many grammatical exceptions that need their own rules…
I hesitated a lot before posting this because it may not be the right place for it, nor will it be well received I think…
Please, pardon my poor English skills in advance.
First of all, I would like it if this post wasn’t deleted nor flooded, and above all not lost in the swarm of all the topics on this subforum.
I’m here to say something which I wanted to say for the longest time. The main thing that is to be noted is a point that happens to be true both about real life and videogames. In France we have a saying : “Il faut de tout pour faire un monde”. That means that we can’t make a world go round with only one type of people. Which also means that there has to be both casuals and elitists.
Now that this is said, do not flame me for taking the side of the elitists, which I’m obviously going to do.
I first want to talk about my experience in Guild Wars 2 and how it was made better thanks to the guys in the dungeon subforum. I first started with a Necro and leveled from 30 to 80 in the early times of the game only through dungeons. I was terribad and as such my experience was horrible. But I got to level 80, and started trying other content than the PvE. And then I leveled a Ranger to the level 80, so as to enjoy some variety in PvP and WvW I couldn’t have only with my Necro.
But it was only then that I discovered that what I love is the PvE content. And I found it hard, after grinding for my 3rd and 4th characters. Hopefully, while I was searching for info in order to get better and do less kitten, I stumbled upon the Guild Wars 2 Forums. They were the realm of great people who naturally became my GW2 role models. People like Brazil who gave me a reason to get my ranger back into PvE content, people like spoj who got me to renew my faith in power necros, guys like Dub, who gave me good laughs with his funny topics and reactions while I felt bored with my studies. I admire guys like Wethospu who showed that it was possible to do a legit Arah solo, while I couldn’t even finish a normal 5 people run in under three hours. People who have retired from GW2 like Strife are still helping today with their awesome guides. And there are many others, some of them even put up with me so as to allow me to get better. Amicable Pugs was the one who carefully guided me through my still unsuccessful Lupi solo attempts.
So this is my dungeon story, we have all had ours, and some yours were clearly better tales than others’. I just want to say that without those who you call the “elitist jerks”, but who I’ll call the “caring teachers”, I wouldn’t have had that much pleasure in GW2. They all responded gently ingame, which shows that their dedication is not that of trolls but more that of optimists. One just needs to see how they managed to stay calm and keep some faith in the forums.
And now that I’ve expressed my point on the “elitists”, who are to me the people that made the game as fun as it is now, I’ll go on to the other point. We need every kind of people to make this game a good place. Without the elitists, we’d still be stuck in PVT gear trying to facetank attacks instead of knowing how to properly manage encounters. But they can be harsh to people who remain stubborn, because even if they demonstrate their arguments with videos of them epicly killing difficult bosses, opinions don’t change, and the tiniest troll they make gets them banned.
Here comes the last point : GW2 is a great game and I even found the time to play it for nearly 1.5K hours while I was undertaking the most difficult preparatory classes France has to offer. What happened today thus saddened me to the highest point. Each time the majority of the player base (meaning the “casuals”, me included, probably), asked for something, they got it. Now that the hardcore players actually have something to defend game wise (read “Fractal levels debate”), they aren’t heard like they should be. It is them who have invested the most time in the game. We, the majority, played it and enjoyed it. They took it to a higher level and enjoyed it as well. We ask for more entertainment, but I feel like it shouldn’t impede with theirs.
This is no rant, it is mostly a thank you post to the community of “elitists”, who made my days in GW2 way funnier. Even as you’re talking of nothing but leaving, I still hope you will hop by sometimes to say hi. I never got to know any of you, but your humor, your mindsets and your dedication moved me. I wish you all the best, be it in another content of GW2, or elsewhere
Tl;dr version : Thanks, you elitists, you were the best thing that came to the game IMO
May I propose some play how you want necro builds ?
Like how some necro want to facetank mobs using full vampiric builds
I’d go for something along those lines :

There should be two conditionmancers in order to reach the condition cap and lose some of the group’s dps, right ? And some kind of a healer, no ?
I’m so excited, can’t wait for you guys to do this !
Keep up the great work and keep entertaining us !
Edit reasoning : corrected some grammatical mistakes and misstyping.

Zelyhn, I think I know what you’re going through. Just like you did, I started playing Guild Wars with a few friends, who also happen to be the guys I play First Person Shooters with. We play pretty much every game together, and it has been really kitten me when they decided to take some holidays from the game.
At first I stayed alone on the game but it doesn’t help, you end up getting bored like they were, it’s just that it takes longer. So I decided to try and do the same thing as them and stopped Guild Wars 2 for a month. The result is that when I went back on the game they decided to come as well and we’re now having fun together just like in the old times.
If you don’t want to step out for a while, the other solution to create a form of interest would probably be to teach others. I mean, like taking them through difficult dungeons and explaining every nown mechanic or spending time speaking about builds is a good way to pass time.
I hope you get better, you’re one of the only known French people out there ! And your interventions on the forums were always very funny
most importantly is the choice for apothecary instead of Cleric, since i think it synergizes with the main hand weapons better even more through the usage of condition sigils (Doom and Geomancy, to complement each of the weapons) and even the off-hands can be switched to better synergie condition ones.
Well, I do prefer using a sword MH, so a good old cleric set was the way to go for me… If you want to do dps, go for it, but that build was intended only as a dedicated healer, so now it’s up to you to share the luv !
Just my two cents, anyway my thanks to Enaretos for the inspiration and for making me utterly bankrupt (don’t have much playtime to farm stuff unfortunately).
Meh, cleric’s are almost free :/ Just come farm arah with me and use the money you’ll get there
As two people have said, the drake pet is an interesting alternative to the fern hound, even if the blast finisher is difficult to time with healing spring in order to get the combo done. I think it procs on pet switching if CD is right, but I wouldn’t be sure of it… Could someone confirm this ?
The regen is permanent as stated in the build : with a full 30 seconds skill rotation I can get up to 1 minute of regen on all party members I think, but it might even be more. I need to test it further to see if there is a cap on boon duration
Thanks a lot to jubskie for putting it in the compilation thread, this will prevent this thread from dying in the darkest part of the huge forums.
I may go on a make some other guides, as I’ve played a nice tanking ranger back in the days
