You’re doing less damage with flurry (as far as I know, maybe unless you’re running full condition gear) than you are with the auto-attack. Also Off-hand Axe 5 is a massive damage loss compared to the Axe auto-attack.
Hundred blades is good but would never go with Sword if you’re focusing on bleeds. Better off with Longbow.
However, in the open world. You’re pretty much free to use whatever you want. In dungeons though, you don’t really want to use conditions or a shield.
Out of all the Shield classes, I’d say Engineer is the best. While you’d be using a kit 90% of the time, there is a blast finisher and some nice stuns on the Engineer Shield, making it the most useful in my opinion
Can use burst skills to get 15% endurance back. Not alot but it helps. I’ve fully soloed him though. When I try I run Greatsword and Sword/Sword so I have an extra leap to get out of his rising AoE
Well, first on your Necro. Conditions are bad for dungeons, unless you’re soloing (I think).
Second, Necro has really high single target DPS, problem is like you said Necro is very selfish. Engineer and Ranger can be amazing in dungeons, though most people don’t use them properly.
Engineer has lots of Might and Vuln stacking. Can also stealth. Ranger can have good damage and gives the party a huge damage increase with Spotter and Frost Spirit.
As for which class you want to use in dungeons, it depends on your play style.
Congrats. I can almost solo lupi. But every time he goes into the 3rd phase I can’t keep him on the wall right and I get bubbled or something =(. Or I just suck in the other 2 phases
Well, I think we just figured out the issue. The game doesn’t like the card. So I’m gonna order the card my brother has, which works fine. Brought him to kill Adelburn and he didn’t “crash” (by crash I mean it leaves me in game, the screen just goes black and says no signal). So that should fix it. I appreciate everyone’s advice, help, and time spent
Yes, I run berserker stats and the meta Warrior build. So got it reinstalled, using disc 2 this time. Still I crash at Adelburn even though everything else goes fine. I’ll try the repair
I at first thought it was a heat issue. But levels are ok enough (30-40 when not playing GW2, 45-60 when playing. Celsius).
I left the game on for like an hour, no issue. But when ever I go to fight Adelburn, it does that. I’m thinking it was likely an installation issue. Since it never asked my uncle for disc 2. So hoping that works. Was mostly wondering if anyone else experienced this to see if it was a game problem
Hey, so, a bit of story to all this. Bear with me.
I just got my new computer built, and GW2 installed on it. Overnight last nite. I started playing on it. enjoying the increased FPS and how everything looked like a completely new game. Decided to do an AC story solo for some champ bags and funzies.
But everytime I fight Adelburn, screen goes black and says no signal. Also happened trying some queen’s gauntlet fights but I used Adelburn for testing. Tried a regular monitor cable, an HDMI cable. Other things. Anyways, just wanted to ask if anyone else had this issue?
Currently reinstalling the game seeing if it installed wrong
The first picture shows Grok Krog before he enters the Catacombs of Ascalon.
Once inside he brandishes his weapon to be fully prepared for ghost slaying.
He begins exploring, while trying to look cool.
Sometimes you don’t need your weapon when you can pounce on unsuspecting foes
And finally, the 250+ year history of Grok Krog’s hating Mesmers with a passion continues
Edit: The armor is CoE Shoulders, Barbaric Chest, Named gloves, Vigil Legs, and T2 Charr boots. I have a T3 helmet equipped but he looks better with no helmet
Here’s my list of Fire Emblem Characters. If I had another slot I could potentially make Lucia. With the Casual Hoodie (I think that’s what it’s called) I could maybe make Neimi.
Today I was selling AC, ended up only having 2 customers because I got tired of getting trolls that joined my group and don’t feel like waiting for more people. Sent them back some of the 1.5 gold I take cuz I messed up on the final boss thrice v.v. But, all was good in the end because I taught my 2 customers after it was all over how to use FGS properly. Felt good
if you don’t fancy melee, you can totally use bows, or even axe. you’ll have a bit less dps, but you won’t have as much trouble with avoiding damage. just remember to use what you got, don’t just sit back. and look for traits that enhance your preferred style.
piercing arrows is fine… spotter is overrated, though, but it’s true that it’s one of the few immediate group benefits the ranger can slot.
and i’m still not seeing how a bit less dps warrants this dramatic devaluation. have you tested melee vs. ranged dps lately?
It’s stuff like this that gives Ranger such a terrible stigma. Thinking that it’s good to use other weapons that are just terrible damage wise, in a damage meta where it’s all about doing maximum damage.
I’m all for playing how you want, but don’t pretend a set up is better than the meta (i.e best)
Well DKP I can keep up quite well in PvP avoiding 3 loads of catapult fire at a time. Funny thing is when I make a mistake in WvW during a keep seige I still have a chance to recover and continue fighting.
In a dungeon however there is no recovery chance. For instance, in AC when fighting a ranger. How the hell are you supped to avoid their traps when they instant cast right under your feet. I have my dodge key hot keyed, yet the first hit from a ranger trap will always connect. And when it connects it is half your life.
No this isnt about WoW. In WoW when you messed up a pull your team had to work 3 times as hard to recover. You could wipe just as easily in WoW. Just that WoW had CC and the trinity.
If GW2 is planning to roll without the trinity, then maybe they should make the mobs managable for people of ANY role to deal with. At the moment no one can an elite mob of 3. the only thing people can do is hope an NPC grabs the aggro or snare and dodge repeatedly. I would expect that a player could take a good 6 to 8 hits before dying. Then things would make a little more sense. but in this case it is 3 hits max and you are dead. The Endurance bar does not recover nearly fast enough to effectively kite an enemy, plus there isn’t enough space.
On the subject of world events being too easy. It really all depends on the level and amount of people present. Try doing a world event that is 2 levels higher than you with only 4 or 5 people with a champion fight in the end. It will be hard as hell, but it will be managable.
I like doing PvP and I love a good PvM dungeon, but this game’s style has no tactic except run and kite. No true CC. no real debuffs. No real buffs. These buffs and debuffs work everywhere else in the game perfectly, but in dungeons the only thing that works is a snare. Make the boss limp around after someone. You can debuff his strength but he’s still going to kill you in 2 hits. You can use knockbacks, but over half the bosses have stability. It is not good PvM. It is just a zerg fest of praying the mobs go after the right people and running for your life while your team does damage.
Ranger isn’t a bad class. It’s a very good one with Frost Spirit and Spotter. However it has a stigma, because people want to use their bows and bears and conditions and or pigs. Ranger has a meta set up just like every other class. Warrior’s would not be wanted if they had a stigma of using stances and using mace/shield and stuff like that. Most of them run Greatsword at least
I don’t got a build calculator thing, but right now I’m running:
0
20
20
30
0.
I use a Hammer and Mace/Axe as my off-set. Switching to a Bow or Rifle when ranged is needed. My utility skills are Healing Signet, FGJ, SIO, OMM, and Signet of Rage. I have alot of defense and put out good damage. As for equipment, I got 3 pieces of Knight’s armor, and 3 pieces of Vaklyrie. When I get my jewelery it’ll probably set up for pure damage since I get plenty of defense already.
Plan to get a Knight’s Exotic Hammer, Knight’s Exotic Mace, and Vaklyrie’s Exotic Axe one of these days
Don’t ask if it’s good for PvP because I pretty much only PvE
I’m sorry. I was stupid. This was also back before I ran cleric’s healing banners. I was keeping the group alive dangit!
Ya i got kicked from a lvl 50 run around 2 weeks ago. looked up lfg and sure enough there was the same run going for 10 gold.
this is a serious issue. fractal rewards are crappy as is BUT are hard to do lvl 40+. thus this kind of BS in fractals or arah is unacceptable.
what needs to be done is simple.
make selling a dungeon slot a crime punished by being banned!
fixed!
There’s nothing wrong with people soloing/duoing something and selling the spots. People pay will pay for the convenience. As long as no exploits are used it’s perfectly legal. I sell AC 1 every now and then, only issues I’ve run into is people joining my group and removing my ad so much that I can’t advertise anymore due to “excessive messaging”.
What’s wrong here is people acting like they’re just gonna do a normal run then kicking everyone for no reason and selling it
@Haar. It would only be 520 + 12.5% of your healing power. Saying it goes up to 50% would be like saying Hundred Blades on Warrior goes 10>20>30% extra damage on hit against bleeding foes. Every tick is 130 + 12.5% for the regen.
Edit: My bad, did it wrong. At 1000 healing power after 4 ticks it would heal 1020. A blast heals 1520 faster, and in an area healing allies too
I understand that they didn’t have em when you had to got talk to someone to reset traits. But now that it’s free and anywhere they should implement a template system
This thead really makes me wonder by engineer gets sold short so hard, they can might blast without interference from light fields, stack loads of vuln, and now deal extremely competitive DPS (around thief tier). Much better than anything a Phalanx warrior can put out, pug or not.
I guess it’s just cause no one wants to press all those buttons, I almost never see engies in any PvE format, period, and the ones I see are running something stupid.
We just all missed the amazing new trait that converted guangmath into actual game facts, namely ‘increasing engineers direct damage by 75%’.
Sounds like someone’s still salty about getting blown up in the DWA vs. GS thread.
In all seriousness, I don’t think I’ve ever not said Engie is super high DPS. The patch DOES in fact increase Engie DPS by a kittenton, since rifle burst + ascended weapon damage + double sigil + everyone else being nerfed adds up pretty significantly.
if blown up means being told that greatsword is actually the best option for dps
ok guang

This would not be such a hot topic for me if players did not get personally offended by me wanting to actually play the game and kill a few enemies. Is there any solution for this?
Obvious solution – make your own groups, filter people. I bet you already knew that.
Someone got told.

Loved Pokemon Told and Silver. Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Toldodile and Mario Golf Toldstool tour
Vitality could give X% endurance regen every X amount of points and Toughness could give X% block chance every X amount of points but I still doubt that would change anything, cuz you can do everything fine in Berserker gear
Question about the Warrior build. If I run 4/6/0/4/0. Is it a DPS increase or decrease to use Eviscerate? And what about instead of Deep Strikes taking the trait that gives perma-swiftness if your group make lack it to keep that 1% damage increase
He addresses this in the video. In short, use eviscerate in your DPS rotation (once it is recharged and off cooldown). If you have a ranger in your party providing spotter, which raises your precision, replace Deep Strikes with the swiftness thing as you said. Otherwise Deep Strikes is better.
Appreciate it. Didn’t get around to watching the vid
