Guild Wars 2

Dragonite is working as intended. It’s the other 2 that are broken. All of them should be a somewhat lengthy process to get.

rhapsody.3615:

you deserve to … show it off every day.

Sorry to burst your ego, but nobody else gives a kitten about a randoms shinies, it’s not 2012 anymore, legendaries don’t even cause people to turn their head any longer, and the more common ones have become invisible and no longer noticed.

“Showing off” a legendary would be getting the lessers ones such as Kamo, Kraitkin, Frenzy, Rodgort, Minstrel & Quip, rather than ones 10 people standing outside LA have equipped.

It was removed because why would developers let the biased consumer decide what gets implemented that will break what little balance or economy this game has left.

Also, probably because half the front page was always “MOUNTS!”

Flissy.4093:

I’ll give you 2 weeks before you go back on most of what you said.

Any particular reason?

I’m not saying the game is perfect, but it’s certainly not the mess a lot of people (even regulars on these forums I notice) seem to think it is. It’s another way for an mmo to operate, and based on everything else I’ve tried, it’s the most feature packed an intricate I’ve seen.

The blaring obvious lack of updated permanent content will render all the intricate fluff meaningless.

Eldiora.5836:

A descent chance is when you have 100% crit chance after applying 20% from fury and crit food.

But then you waste precision, as it caps at 99%.

~47% for a Guardian with Hammer or ~54% for a Sword without Fury/Banner/Food.

Not sure if this has been said, but once you have joined too many groups in X time, you can’t join anymore for a while.

So anybody “griefing” will only be able to do so for a couple of times.

I’ll give you 2 weeks before you go back on most of what you said.

Can’t believe I’m still having to ask for this after 14 months. Sure as hell not stopping though.

Meleeing bosses such as the Archdiviner is so difficult with burning effects blocking his animations.

Flissy.4093:

The drop rate would have to be severely nerfed to be able to choose the stats.

A very rare, 41+ only drop as an extra item, leaving the stat specific one in, would be fine though.

ascended drop rate is terrible enough so it shouldn’t be a problem.

Still far too good to let someone choose their stats.

Such deeps. Much skill click. Very meta. Wow.

Thought Kraitkin was cool.

Saw it, and now it’s potentially my least favourite. The eels just are not fluid in movement as they should be.

It really loses out to Kamo as an underwater Legendary.

Fed up of Bolt/Anomaly Mesmers. It was nice back in 2012, but now it’s just a bore.

Fed up of Anomaly as a whole tbh. There are so many good foci in this game, you’ll get your fix of this weapon just running around LA.

I know tooltips can often be wrong, but not this time. Sword/Mace only. Pretend Axe doesn’t either, ’cause OH axe is horribad.

jbernal.1078:

Seriously? Do you expect the enemy to just sit through it? What is this WoW?

Guild wars 2 combat is more fluid, you have to make them sit through your 100B.

So do so. Stuns/Immobs are plentiful.

Also, you’ll be surprised at the number of people who actually do eat a 100B.

The drop rate would have to be severely nerfed to be able to choose the stats.

A very rare, 41+ only drop as an extra item, leaving the stat specific one in, would be fine though.

Because everybody plays the mindless meta … and then is bad at it so will lose to me even though I barely have a vague clue what I’m doing.

Dare I say PvE bosses are harder?

Bad PUGs prefer tank-heal Guardians thinking it’s going to save bad Berserkers.

SPOILERS … it doesn’t.

Doesn’t matter what you are, Berserker is the best for literally every profession – even Necro (lol).

A few different builds can be used dependant on situation and your group. But as for PUGging 10/30/0/10/20 would be able to carry PUGs using Sw/F and GS for DPS or 15/15/0/20/20 with Hammer & GS to provide protection.

Kicking to sell is very rare. It’s more of an issue in Fractal PUGs than Arah where people will kick on Maw/Molten/Mai Trin to invite a friend.

As for the selling, there’s so many (esp for P2) as it’s exploitable to hell and a certain 3 classes can AFK every boss. These exploits are bannable, but path selling itself is not.

guanlongwucaii.3162:

yeah, I’ve had a lot more success in groups where people actually ask for “zerk ping gear” rather than random pugs, though I don’t know how these people manage to get berserker geared players who know what they’re doing.

I’ve tried looking for berserkers but all I’ve ever gotten are morons who say “oh its just (dungeon name) its easy you dont need zerk”.

you kick. You kick lots. But the spots still fill up fast.

A few days ago – I counted – I kicked 20, yes TWENTY, people before I got what I asked, which was literally “Zerk Melee DPS”. I didn’t even ask for Scholar or anything, any ol’ noob using Rubies was fine.

1) Make Sunrise
2) Forge to Eternity
3) Sell Eternity
4) Buy another Bolt/Quip/Minstrel – the only useful Mesmer weapons in a place you will actually see your Legendary.

Add friend.

Alternatively, find new ones asking for Zerk w/ Scholar requiring link – More often that’ll mean they are adequate for a PUG quality group.

mahariel.4981:

Eles can deal about ~100,000 damage per second versus the 12-16,000 damage of warriors/thieves.

While Eles are higher DPS, claiming it because of the FGS oversight is ridiculous. Its already been said when it first surfaced its looking to be changed. State the actual DPS of the Staff 2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2 build rather than the 3s burst of the FGS.

Horrible, either there’d be far too many utilities, or there would be no versatility in each weapon set.

The difference Ascended armor will make in a WvW zerg is less noticeable than the difference it would make in 5 man dungeons. So get an Ascended PvE set.

If you however PUG dungeons only and don’t do them with friends, I’d ascend your WvW stats to help out your buddies.

No

This for the OP of the best DPS build, or this for the version I condensed.

Keyboard turning you say?

Daemon.7682:

Yes but the Invader’s items I bought! I should be able to salvage items I bought.

timidobserver.7925:

Exploiters ruin everything. The salvage limitations originally were put in place due to exploits.

By the time you’ve finished crying you could have made several times the cost of any rune you leave in the armor.

joonasp.9217:

Greatsword in WvW and PvP is a waste of time.

You’re crazy. 100B burst and an extremely mobile weapon. It’s a great weapon in ALL content.

deSade.9437:

It was about time.

No.

/15characters.

God forbid, 30 minutes of crafting to get to 500. Woe is you.

You’re welcome

Nike Porphyrogenita.8137:

Shield is absolutely worthless in PvE. Everything it does, offhand Sword does better.

This.

The stun is next to useless, as it’s single target. Shield has a block that has double the CD of the Sword for such a minor increase in duration. Also 5% damage less ’cause no Dual Wielding.

Sword/Shield is much better on a Guardian than a Warrior – although Shield still isn’t so good, but at least the Sword is.

KOPPER.1458:

I thought it made the “glow” brighter? Is this not true? I’ve been told so by people DW the pistols.

Even if that were true (I don’t know if it is) but Bolt doesn’t get the Aura in the offhand anyway, so there would be no extra electric regardless.

Any attempt at an “all around” build which claims to be effective in all content is ridiculous and a complete waste of time. No build can do everything moderately okay – trying to make an “all around” build just ends up gimping yourself in every aspect of the game meaning you will be getting rick rolled in WvW, and end up useless in a PvE environment.

Use a different build for everything, trait resetting is super cheap, and keep different gear sets for each content. Even if you can’t afford multiple exotic gear sets, this is the still better option just using rare equipment – someone in full rare Berserker gear will be better than anybody running a “tanky” exotic Soldier build in a PvE environment, but running exotic Berserker in a WvW Zerg will not be as beneficial as rare Soldiers or Knights.

Oh, and no matter what, Divinity runes, and celestial stats in general, are junk. Absolute junk. Don’t use them.

Full Berserker with the common meta build is the best build for a beginner.

You will learn nothing in PVT where you can just face-tank the boss until it dies from old age.

Knights armor/Zerk trinkets if you’re really struggling to learn I guess, but it shouldn’t be your first choice to learn – especially as a Warrior.

You mean the build that all the bad PUG warriors have been using for months. Even complete with divinity runes & a main set stacking weapon!

Romek.4201:

just go dungeon and than buy the linen

If what Vol says is true (and it’s likely, he’s a reputable source here) then farming his alt up will make him more money than the daily dungeon rotation (with the exception of an experienced, organised group used to one another) AND will level a character in the process.

It’s a bug.

Both the damage being reflected, and lightning flashing to keep fiery rush stationary.

The thread is not about crying about warriors

But what you described is what the subforum has become since their viability in PvP situations.

what in the hell are you talking about? I don’t give a kitten what you think of this subforum.

Woah Mr Big Shot, calm your horses. All I suggested was a reason your topic was being answered how it was, no need to get all Mr Hard-over-the-internet on me, it doesn’t suit you.

Seera.5916:

And there are some of us casuals who do wish that you hardcore players would get some bones tossed to them.

As I said, you’re kinda in the wrong forums then, as you are surrounded by those you dislike.

It’s a harsh reality. They may aswell rename this subforum to the Trashcan.

I don’t dislike hard core players. I never said that, don’t put words in my mouth.

I said it would be nice if ANet would give the hardcore players something that they would like: actual permanent, challenging content. Because the content that has been coming out has been geared towards the casual player. Temporary and easy.

And that it was the hard core player’s turn to get content aimed for them.

Please tell me what part of that made you think I hate hard core players?

I must have misunderstood the term having “bones thrown at them”. Wishing something to be thrown at someone sounds fairly hostile, but apparently not.

bOgz.7263:

You can check contents of their weekend sales through RSS Feed.

Sunday—35% Off of All Aetherized Armors!

There’s an Aetherized Armor set for everyone! Show off your fashion sensibility with these striking armor skins.

(S)he’s right

This needs to be moved to the Necro forums now.

ololol 2funny4u.

Easlay.3297:

are 2 different things.
ppl go for cosmetics cuz are the only way to make your character unique and different from other ppl (with mix of armor, weapon skins and colors), but i don’t see many crying cuz legendary is too expensive (the problem here is another, the way to obtain it that isn’t legendary, but is another matter), or that cultural is expensive, and so on…are anyway something they wanna do as OPTIONAL.

the same are the ascended armor, at least for the upgrade they provide…for such small bonus are like a cosmetic tbh, an optional that isn’t needed at all.
if instead ascended armor they would have added a 7th armor slot, with 11 primary stats, +5 second and +1% third, would u have spent almost 150-200 golds for unlock it, and 100 for craft such bonus (and 100g everytime u want to change it)? i think everyone would say “hell no”.
even if u consider the bonus from infusion slots, still too expensive for what provides, in u check ingame real impact.

And it’s still an objective upgrade, whereas the others are side grades. There is no way it can NOT be worth it, even more so if you are one of the players who will buy an item just for it’s looks.

Seera.5916:

The answer you’re looking for is: no. But have you got time? Yes, it’s not gonna cost you anything.

You quit the game because you were bored of it and exhausted all content.

Guess what? There is practically no new content. What has been implemented since your departure was mostly temporary and has been removed.

It will most likely take you longer to re install than it will to experience the few pieces of permanent content since you last played.

Temporary content is such a horrific idea, and it’s clear the general consensus thinks so. Why this is still ANs method, I have no idea.

Hate: The blatant ignoring of the PvE (Dungeons, not this terrible open world excuse for PvE) players.

Like: The rewarding combat style – You know how to play? You can do more damage by equipping Berserker armor.

Going to add a neutral feeling about the missing trinity. It’s something that I increasingly seem to miss, but I’m also enjoying the absence.

dAcIaW.5107:

You can do fractals for ascended weapons, I have gotten a few ascended weapons this way so far.

It’s a horrible system to obtain them this way. They’re rare drops, which is fine. But the stats are random and you will likely get shafted with a stat you will literally never use because it’s a bad combination.

It’s more of an “ooh, that’s a nice surprise” from doing the Fractals as they are something you enjoy, rather than a reason to do them. It is not a viable method of obtaining them.

Easlay.3297:

but well, is partially grindy tbh
ascended armor atm are just doesn’t worth the cost/benefit compared to exotic.

So a statistical upgrade isn’t worth money, but LA is full of people sinking 100g into a T3 – cosmetic – item, legendaries costing >1000g, and mystic forge weapons costing ~500g, all of which enhance your character in no way.

Okay.
