Guild Wars 2

There is non. Keep your own timer perhaps or ask your guildies when certain bosses spawn.

Tell me again how necros are UP in pvp? Also warriors just got buffed with the boon hate mechanism. You don’t need to reroll. Just master your own class.

You need both but for now try to prioritize power a bit more. If you start feeling like you die too easy, it’s simple to get more toughness and vitality once you get new gear.

My Sylvari guardian.

Arah- boots (in second pic scaled boots I think. Currently I’m using AC boots.)
AC- helmet
SE- Leggings and gauntlets
Dark- chest and pauldrons

That video pretty much sums it up. x)

Wao! This looks pretty cool.

Hammer/GS is perfect with meditations. ^^

in-combat healing is already slower than out of combat healing. Also don’t forget that downed people can heal themselves as well. Stability and stun/launch the rezzer and stomp the kitten out of him or just pour your DPS on both of them.

You probably played hot join. We suck major kitten there since people can’t take our skills and support into consideration. TPV kitten till good if the teams acknowledges your abilites as a guardian and make use of them.

Do remember that you cannot complete either of the rock parts on one go. First part has a cliff where u can jump and wait for next rocks to come up and in the second part you can jump on this little rock that lets you rest a bit. Be patient and feel the rhythm. x)

And shield #5 is an awesome skill to push them away from their field and reveal the thief.

You have done fractals right? In the volcanic fractal wards are great the beginning of the stage and in uncategorized fractal WoR and SoA are your teams ticket to victory.

What’s the point of farming glory if your skills don’t increase while you do it?

Awesome fight and even more awesome looking bosses! Please add more cut-scenes like that to other boss battles please!

This made me test scepter in pvp again. x) Scepter/torch is surprisingly good with hammer but the projectile speed is a problem. I could just hope that it hits something if I throw it in the general direction.

I’ll take a look at how it compares to Necro staff auto. I will say that when this does hit it is the highest DPS #1 skill in the game. We wanted it to feel this powerful but difficult to land but the effect may be too exaggerated. I’ll play some PvE and PvP scepter Guardian later today.

Sounds good, except the forum trolls have no clue what they just asked you to do and you’re going to ‘fix’ something that isn’t broken.

I hope you see this: The problem isn’t that it’s difficult to land, the problem is that some fool that is strafing left to right very quickly can avoid scepter 100% of the time. There is a video of it somewhere and if anyone would post it or send it to you, you can assess for yourself the issue.

Yeah, I just did this today on my dd ele against a guard while i was capping a point. It was so funny watching the orbs flying past me while i simply moved left and right.

Guardian isn’t a class that stands aside and snipes the points. He is INSIDE the point within 600 range of his opponent. The projectile speed fix is so that people wouldn’t be able to outrun the projectile while running away or so. The quick strafing doesn’t work within scepters intended range. It has 1200 range so it would be viable in PVE.
No guardian makes that mistake if he is even a bit more experienced.

Mace/shield is awesome in pvp. Take larger symbols and some healing power and boom. Your whole group survives ALOT longer.

No build “requires” button smashing and nor should you ever think that’s what it’s all about. If you just mindlessly spam skills, you will die even as a guardian.

Personally I use shout build with GS-Mace/shield.

I farm bugged events in Cursed shore XD
2 gold in 1.5 hour

Only 2g? You can even get more by farming sparks for charged lodestones. O.o You sure you sold all the mats you found?

“Death… Good.”

-Some risen

Honestly people are over reacting to this boon hate and thiefs boon removal. Thieves have to run sword/dagger for it and warriors are…well warriors…

It made disengaging way too easy and guardians for example had no way to catch up to them. It was almost unfair how elementalists had 2 options: kill or don’t kill and just escape. Same thing with thieves but that’s kinda how their class works so I’m not complaining. Elementalists can still save their RTL for tough situations and mistform still makes them invunerable even if you can’t heal in it. (which was unfair to begin with)

On your part. Did you even read the forum rules?

Axesome.1025:

Hi,

I think it’s nearly impossible to get rich in GW2. I do a lot of events, guild missions, yet i am so poor. Can you make some solid cash without farming 24/7?

Yup. If you are as casual as you claim to be, you can just do daily bosses, maybe some cof and other additional stuff. You can easily get 10g/day.
If you can’t even do that then you don’t deserve all that fancy stuff you want. There are no magical ways to get rich in a blink of an eye. (unless you get incredibly lucky)

As I said before, it’s a new game. There will be a lot of new content coming this year.

Well there are no raids but there are several dungeons (8 in total and 1 more coming with next patch). There are also fractals but you might get bored of them quickly. I’d recommend getting into a friendly, semi-big guild. Everything is more fun with friends and there is also a lot of guild exclusive content. This game is very new so there isn’t all that much end-game content out yet so if you compare it to a game like WoW, you are going to be disapointed.

Then there are also PVP and world versus world(WvW). WvW is basically this huge map with armies (zergs) of people fighting each other and trying to take control over the map. You can also start saving for unique, expensive skins to show your commitment and look awesome.

I think the boxes are indeed the best way to turn karma into money. Also don’t forget all karma boosters and such because those boxes will return a lot of karma while you open them. They have a chance to drop valuable lodestone (charge lodestones are 3g) and other goodies.

Staff already has 2 decently powerful healing skills.

For damage and decent survivability:http://gw2buildcraft.com/calculator/guardian/?3.0|1.1g.h1|b.1g.h1.d.1g.h1j|0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0|0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0|a2.0.u46b.k29.a1|0.0|0.0.0.0.0|e

I use that in dungeons and roaming. When soloing, you should swap AH to monks focus.
Scepter is for more difficult mobs giving you space to breath and possibly recover while dealing heavy damage. Since all your high damage skills hit multiple times, precision is very important. Also remember that focus #5 is actually a very high hitting burst if it’s not broken and it’s 3 additional blocks.

Personally I’d recommend knights gear once you get your exotics. It offers damage and toughness. Can’t go wrong with knights.

Also don’t listen to these scrubs who say guardians can’t deal heavy damage without zerker gear. Even with this build I can crit 6-7k’s.

Well Largos could be a potential underwater race and we have yet to see an area where DSD is introduced. A complete underwater area is not so far fetched.

If you go to Orr farming solo in full zerg gear, you are gonna have a bad time. Knights gear is more effective and you can solo a lot more mobs at once.

Class specific legendaries would be awesome.

You do realize people hate us because we don’t die? Guardians are a top-tier pvp class and no thief, warrior or any DPS class in that matter could ever wish to solo a well played guardian.

Do you see any full zerker gear people in tpvp? Didn’t think so.

At least I would be incredibly angry if Foefires essence started dropping from chests. Atm it’s easily over 500g on TP and I have worked too hard farming lodes and stuff for it to just starting to drop from chests.

Sandra Martino.3870:

d/d ele, unkillable by any profession. Exept for another d/d ele probably :P

False. If you disable/immobilize one for even 3 seconds, you basically win. Guardian still has the best survivability in game. In PVE and PVP.

I’d love to see WW with foefires essence as well if some1 would be as kind as to post a screenshot. ^^

Every game should have items that show the effort of the player having them. Also don’t forget this is a free-to-play game and gems are vital for it.

My advices are mostly for guardians: The most important thing in my opinion is to dodge/block/stability the first RTL as that will give them an advantage and enable them to set the pace.
Also always notice the rocks that are flying around them. This means they have stability and you shouldn’t burn your CC there.

Retaliation is a great tool against D/D eles as they have 2 breath attacks that hit many times in a row. Seeing as you have high armor, you will be able to return almost all the damage from those attacks.

Keep constant pressure and leave no space. Sword is good because you can hit them from medium range and also close the distance with #2.

Also be aware of churning earth (that charged skill that causes rock spikes to blast trought the ground). Don’t think you can get away from its range since most eles know how to tele-cast. Time your dodge or block. You get the hang of the timing very quickly.

Zackie.8923:

I tested it about a month or so back after the patch which they said they fixed it.

PoV works fine

but PoV + soldier runes is unstable.

certain shouts will trigger PoV first and convert cond to boon, then remove another cond.

certain shouts will not trigger PoV first and will only remove.

so i wouldn’t go soldier + PoV.

In fact, i think its overkill.

There is no such thing as overkill in tpvp.

Guardian. Can keep away all those lusty ladies that swarm around me.

I usually create these succubus-like looking gothic chicks and seduce all the guys to give me money. I have about 9 fake emails and 6 different phone numbers. =3

I belive it’s impossible to get 500 points at the EXACTLY same time. One always gets it a bit faster.

Ketharius.9018:

I want PvP to have nothing to do with PvE and vice/versa.

I don’t PvP to gain any benefits besides PvP action.

How would it affect your life? It would be an OPTION. Not the new COF p1.

I too would love some rewards that would affect PVE. New skins or dyes. Maybe even mini-pets, boosters or blacklion keys. There are already PVP only skins. It would be awesome if you could transfer these skins to PVE by buying them with tokens you get from winning matches or ranking up.

Still I would enjoy it if you could make real profit with PVP. It would offer an optional source of income for people who don’t want to farm orr and COF all day long. Nothing game breaking tho since it would otherwise be unfair for people who do not enjoy competitive gameplay.

I’d advice you to ask couple of your guildies to join you. That will make it easier to adapt into strategic teamplay matches. In hotjoin, there is no teamplay.

I love this game. Atm I’m working towards foefires essence for my guardian and after I’m done with that, I shall create a ranger seeing as I have always wanted to make one for an alt and they are getting buffed this month.

No interest from banks. COF might be the best way. Also do the daily bosses and salvage the rares for ectos.
