Do people still do dungeons? I’ve not played in over a year due to the lack of interest in dungeons shown by devs and players, how’s the scene looking.

Yes.

Nevermind!
My frands are awesome but I’m such a bad friend, I dunno why everyone sticks to me for mor than a couple of hours before running away.

Because you give me makover kits! <3 :P

That damage. Can’t wait till my new ele reaches 80..

kitten y, that would be an awesome name for a new char!

They pretend they would care..

Today was the best day ever in this gane.

Finished my Incinerator so #incinerator1.1.15
Then we did a tour and it happened, in SE p1 i dropped the chosen; my first ever precurser. So #firstpre1.1.15

This year started good!

As a slight grammar kitten I feel like it’s my responsibility to mention that the plural form is just sylvari, not sylvaris, sylvaries and so on. Same goes for norn, asura and charr.

Fy man. I hate you from now on.
No joke, i still love you <3
#nohomo

Wrong, Sylvari is the new fashion meta, deal with it kidos!
Also don’t you need any stealth blasts before the bubble room, afaik he only follows a little bit inside. Also, Iris mentioned it earlier, don’t you need SR for fwd at all. You do need it when you do up and want to skip/kill the spiders inside!
Rest is fine I’d say, especially the Sylvaries.

“soloing a dungeon in soldiers takes more skill“ – Are you serious ?
Have you ever soloed a dungeon, have you ever compared berserker to soldiers !? I don’t know what you see as skilled but being able to facetank more hits isn’t skill for me.

Honestly, this one is a candidate for the statement of the year!

Do it and tell me if it is even possible to solo a dungeon in soldier’s.

You can solo in pretty much any gear as long as the bosses don’t have too high regeneration or you don’t fail your evades.

Others have already answered you, I have “discussed” this in several posts. Not really sure what there is left to say.

I have never seen a dungeon solo run in tanky gear and would love to see it – I don’t buy that those doing it have no options to make videos of it. If you know any videos give me the link.

Those who manage to solo a dungeon in none zerker’s gear have more skills in my opinion – I have pointed out why, others have pointed out why. So, again, give me a link so I can be proven wrong.

Not a whole dungeon but shows very well how tankier gear trivialises the content.

Alright, but I still mean a whole dungeon, not just one part of it =) Thanks though.

Is like this video, just takes longer.
Do you think that dodging/evading takes less skill than simply dpsing ?
So giving up passive defense to do more dmg is less skilled ?
Also, do you think soloing in rabids (f.e.) takes also more skill than in berserker ?

Allow me a question; did you ever solo a dungeon?

I love how people just think that zerkers just autoattack in their solos. Get deeper in the materia and then we can continue discussing.

Have you ever soloed a dungeon or soloed a dungeon in soldiers?

Just for funsies, I’ll share.

I carry PVT on my guard as a backup set, and used to wear it when I first started soloing, mostly Arah p2, but also TA forward.

Now, I can’t get past Lupi on my own regardless of gear, but Belka and Abom were not at all challenging in soldier’s gear (note, I didn’t glitch Belka in those days, either).

Abomination was actually pretty funny. The first time I soloed him (in PVT), I farmed maybe 20-30 rifles before starting, and actually ran out and had to start pulling inquest mid-solo to finish him. It took about 35 minutes.

35. Minutes.

For one boss.

It wasn’t any harder, I was actually playing sloppy as hell and getting hit a lot. I could eat a couple of attacks, get back up, and continue. Most of my failures were from pulling him too far and resetting.

Now, I always use zerker gear. Why? Because abom takes about 8-10 minutes on a sloppy run.

PVT isn’t harder, it’s just slower. My opinion — YMMV.

The argument about running out of defenses before the enemy dies works for mobs, but most (Arah) bosses require you to go through several rotations, even at max DPS. Gear won’t affect cooldowns, so you’ll run out of defenses at some point either way. The difference is that PVT is (a) slower and (b) more forgiving if you play sloppy.

Exactly, slower and more forgiving.
I don’t get why you say it takes more skill then!

Silf, make a new one!

The thread in the general discussion forum will cause me nightmares.
“soloing with soldiers takes more skill than with berserkers“

It is actually easier to solo in berserker in many occasions. Those thugs that heal in CM? have fun dealing with that without the damage. Pretty much any encounter where quick take downs are preferred, full berserker is the easier option, the harpy destroyer in the grawl fractal is a good example of this.

Mossman is way easier in full zerker just for the sheer fact that you can kill the wolves in fewer hits.

Well, i guess that’s a fair point. But i think that having to dodge/avoid more attacks takes more skill than simply having to fight longer while being tankier.

Berserker: Less space for mistakes. You need to manage your dodges/avoids.
Soldiers: More room for mistakes. You can fail a dodge and still be perfectly alright.

So for me personally; lacking DPS doesn’t proove skills, more like the opposite!

No poetry today, don’t feel like farming if you know what I mean -.-

Hahah, 2guards and no reflects. I seriously don’t know if i should be sad or not. I guess I am.

I expected poetry swifty..

Shadap.

Oh, this:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/This-Meta-has-to-end

I h8 dem zerkurs aswell, don’t worry m8 you’re not alone out there.
There will be the day where we can actually play how we want. Because right now we obviously can’t.

You simply can’t make your own LFG.
You simply can’t find mindsharing players to play with.
You simply can’t make friends to play with.
You simply can’t see other sides of the coin.

Wanna know why ? That requires interaction and sometimes even socialising..

Good thing is that you CAN come to the forums and start a thread about “This and that has to be changed“ without bringing any idea on how to change it.

That’s cool bro, keep the good work up.

Thanks to everyone who helped keeping our sanctuary alive!
Think I’m gonna buy some gems even though I got no clue what to spend them on.

/slap.

Are you happy now Anet ?

GrimmR.3541:

So now you make a special forum rank for people who do what some of us are already doing for quite a while ? I don’t really get why. You should atleast reward them for their voluntary work they put in.
It’s obviously no job for me even though i am always browsing the forums.
Good luck to all who apply, hope the right ones get chosen.

I’ve personally enjoyed your posts, biased as that might be. I think they could have volunteers outside of US borders, if we got more forethought to this, but it’s definitely complicated. They’ll figure it out in time, i’m sure.

Cheers mate, i tried my best!
And yeah, maybe one day they’ll find out.
