Yes, they give you the most stats, but classes scale best with only 3 out of the 4 major stats and builds scale best with only 3-5 total stats.

Price does not equate to greatness.

In the dredge boss I’m either pulling or wearing a ranged weapon then I swap to melee as it gets to the droppoint and I immobilize —> attack. I also use it as panic dodge.

Crafting Bug

Cooking is not the same as other professions mainly because it’s one of the few professions that doesn’t punish you for grinding the same item. The reason why is because when you’re leveling, you’re going to be eating one food type, so the variety is supposed to be there to let you find that one food type and then craft a lot of it, then get to the next level of it and do the same thing. It’s still a bit rough, but that’s how it’s supposed to be done.

If a food stops appearing on your discovery panel, you’ve discovered everything it has to offer.

As for Artificing, the fine material ingredients should only show up in the artificing tab if you haven’t made potions.

I much prefer fighting the dredge suit over the ice elemental. Especially in higher difficulties. Those extra ice eles cause all kinds of problems whereas the dredge suit has only a couple of very easy to dodge moves. And you can reflect his bombs back at him for huge damage.

And if he’s overheated while you do it…

It's time to admit FotM has failed

Esplen.3940

The main reason why you’re not able to go back in for FotM is because it’s supposed to be a challenge where you can’t repair or sell your gear unless you bring repair cannisters or black lion merchants.

The idea is sound, but it has a lot of loopholes due to unintended disconnecting and other things.

The main reason why ArenaNet is not publishing a quick-fix patch is because they want it to stay the same way with the same… values, essentially, while also allowing people back in. This means that they have to code an entirely NEW reconnect to dungeon system for this dungeon alone.

I admit they didn’t think over it too well, but just calm down. If you want to play a non-buggy game, wait a few months —> a year. This happens with almost EVERY game. People just forget about the beginnings or they were never there.

Just let it stay open and “crashed”. Everytime I open GW2 it tells me it crashes, so I alt-tab and check the interwebs. About 15-30 seconds later, the message disappears and I just go back to the GW2 tab.

It’s called allocation of resources. You can’t just have everyone work on bug-fixing.

I’m sure they have a bug-fixing team that’s working hard, but it’s not easy to look through other peoples code and figure out what the problem is, especially if they don’t do friendly code. The code seems sound because the game runs, but it doesn’t work 100% and you have to look through pretty much all the code to find the bugs. Additionally, the bug may not be in the place you’re looking, it could be in the way it interacts with other code, so the problem doesn’t even have to be inherent to the source.

You do take twice the damage as the guardian due to your lack of Agony Resistance.

Every 5 points makes a HUGE difference. The guardian you speak of is running 5 more agony resistance than you.

Plus, you end up being the better guardian unless you fail at all your rolls and he ends up tanking in berserkers.

I’m not sure if you guys realize that WoW had no dungeon finder until about 2 years after release and even then all it was was essentially the LFG system that GW2 has in place. Additionally, if anyone d/c’ed/left a dungeon in WoW during the beginning of it’s lifetime, it was immensely hard to replace that person and progress without that person due to a low playerbase in each server individually.

I don’t entirely agree with you there. I was just playing Torchlight II the other day with my friend in Elite difficulty at low levels. We were fighting a boss and it took about 10 minutes of dodging, tanking, shielding, blocking, potioning (and purchasing potions with our pets) to finally finish him off. Afterwards, we got more potions, reset the world, and fought him again.

I ask you to do Dwayna then again and again. =) Tell me if it is the same as “Torchlight II boss”

I actually would be if I had a team of people willing to do/learn/teach it with me multiple times.

If you’re doing fractal bosses in melee range you’re doing it wrong. Every class can use ranged weapons, utilize them.

That’s not entirely true, as well.

Mesmer with a Sword can distract and “take” shots from every boss without worry. They can also immobilize Dredge Fractal final bosses. Can also be used as an additional roll, and a few other things.

Well, I said that because if you’re in CS, the most you’re doing to find a group is having a post up in GW2LFG which is NOT actively looking to level up. Finding/making a group has taken me 30 minutes AT MOST not due to lack of members, but due to lack of an Overflow.

I think it would have been cool in general if each class had one unique weapon that only it could use. Fan/Rapier for mesmer, 2H Greataxe for warriors, etc etc…

Oh god, Rapiers and Fans… I’m.. oh god… yes…

Not really an option for melee, but I’d like to see a MH pistol option for the Mesmer if we’re daydreaming about additions to skill profiles.

YES!

Additionally, Arah is the final dungeon, therefore it should be… gasp the hardest.

I remember reading somewhere that the first time you do 10, you’ll be guaranteed a ring and if you want more rings you have to do the daily-grind. You’re also going to be guaranteed another ring at 20, and another reward at 30, 40, etc, etc.

Of course, that was a while ago, they might have changed their minds.

Completely false

Of course it’s completely false in the current way fractals are setup. I believe it was one of the ideas being thrown around by the devs after they realized the current way was too RNG-reliant.

For the Grawl bosses, they have red circles which notify you. The high damage from the Shaman is from Elementalist skills, so either have an Elementalist go into Earth Attunement in sPvP to show you the skills or just time the dodge.

For the elemental, you should always be moving, so melee is fine if you circle him, but if he starts doing red circles around himself, you should probably have a ranged weapon as backup. (I’ll get back to this.)

Sons of Svanir boss: If he’s targeting you with the frost breath, it doesn’t matter. It goes to 900 range, I believe, so it’s not just melee that gets hit in the face.

Underwater: Since when has melee underwater been viable outside of trash mobs?

Ascalon: The Squire is the problem, not the agony.

Maw: This fight isn’t about damage. You can melee, you can range as long as you can get a crystal or roll. (Sure, they knockback/down, but that’s what stun-breakers/stability is for.)

Snow Elemental Boss: All melee weapons have a gap-closer.

As for always having a ranged weapon ready, you should at least have a ranged weapon at the ready. If you dungeon a lot or WvW a lot, you’d understand that you want all the weapons in your bag whether or not you use it often. Those few times when you want/need to swap are SOOOO much more beneficial than hoping that someone in your group has a trash weapon. I melee all of the bosses in Fractals except Maw simply because I don’t get that much stability, but I typically run the crystals to my party and get knocked down a lot, which I don’t mind.
