Guild Wars 2

1. Shelter can be interrupted.
2. But a well-timed shelter can block a condi-burst from a condi engi and allow the guard to walk away unscathed.
3. Shelter is indispensable in Arah and fractals. It is your personal block, you can waste it on yourself.
4. I cringed whenever I see a SoR on my pug guard. 99% of the time that guard never uses condi cleanse on the group anyways. 100% of the time he uses aegis selfishly.
5. With the current PvE meta, Shelter has become much more used, even in the Volcanic Fractal now.

My two cents.

@OP: I’m impressed with your experience with the class in both PvP and PvE.

Not really. Might from sigil of strength has a shorter duration. The best number of might stack I can manage is around 9-10 stacks during a fight with a relatively 76% critical chance (no group buff). If you play D/D or S/D with more than 40% reduction in attunement recharge or with Fresh Air , sigil of battle has an advantage. As such, sigil of strength for staff and sigil of battle for dagger or focus.

I’ve seen someone run both strength and battle with staff in WvW but it’s another thing to discuss in another time…

Where did you test it, Zelyhn? Weth has a theory that the damage increase of an ascended weapon is normalized to an exotic one in any sub-80 dungeons. Wonder if this effect gets carried to the damage of conjured weapons as well?

Use sigil of strength for staff because you don’t really swap attunement in PvE anyways. Plus, it syncs well with the multi hit Lava-Font + Meteor and the auto attack.

Aww, Silber, I felt exactly the same for my ele. I was tempted with one of the new hairstyles but in the end, I feel it doesn’t fit my character at all. It’s the flair that makes her so special, I guess.

Congratulations big time, Preyar!

This boss is pretty badas-

Leo in meanwhile…

This is Sandy. He is a timid guy.

Contact Hypnotic Light [TNO] – NA servers. He always carries organizes a TAA group around the reset time. You can tell him that Iris refers you to him.

Would be good against Captain Ashym as well.

Especially when he has FGS.

Those rushing warriors are OP as well. Supply crate is good to CC those Ascalonians ;D

Alright sorry, I didn’t read any of these posts so sorry if I am repeating anything (or doing it wrong).

Can you show me this, please

Once upon a time, there was a guy who wanted to improve his solo Lupi kill. Out of boredom, the guy invited his two friends over to goof off. One of his friend, out of boredom, decided to clean up the area outside of Lupi’s arena. Since then, mesmer never looks the same to me as before.

… the horrible female human meta by gel pens.

<<chuckles>>

All the invites have been sent. Eire, can you please contact me in game?

Would be good against Captain Ashym as well.

No Pulse.2967:

My new warrior look…

looking sharp ^.^

New kid on the block.

Being indispensable in any end-game mode.

laharl.8435:

Wow, they still haven’t fixed the bone wall exploit? But they did fix the Alpkittene-shot, I thought that was by design…

Get in touch with [Noob], maybe do some full runs to get the hang of it, then duo if you can find an experienced player that’ll duo with you.

Get this guy ^ I can vouch for him

Your dungeon is called E.O.T.M :p

I’m so in love with this guy http://www.twitch.tv/thelordhelseth/c/4637154
Vote for Team Mist: Helseth, Sizer, Denshee, Tage, Rom, please !

I wanted to add that skipping cannon phase is really beneficial to squishy classes like (ele, thief) and those without a constance source of speed boost (mesmer, necro) or those with latency (Dub, Nat).

T.T

Yet they never pay me anything…

He does drop loot?!

The time that I tried, the one that missed the portal decided to stealth himself and we got wrecked instead.

spoj.9672:

It doesnt bug them. They simply cant see you. Its like calling LoS an exploit. Or running out of range of a rooted boss to regen your hp.

They do see you. You glitch them by teleporting the whole group at the same time, and by doing so make them lose track of their targets. If one doesn’t get the portal, i.e. only four at the safe spot, they will target that ‘safe spot’ immediately and wreck everyone. If everyone uses portal when the cannon phase has already started, the cannoneers will also be able to target that spot.

I had about 100 before but used them all recently. There was an outfit/weapon overhaul XD

spoj.9672:

Mine makes me look like a casul.

I can recommend some “late” time mentors from what I remember.

EU region:

• haveageez (up to 3-4 am, but like a rare unicorn)
• Jerem (1 am max)
• Purple miku (up to 3 am, but only a few times a week)
• Terissimo (24/7, need students)

NA region

• colesy (seemingly 24/7)
• No Pulse (early morning in NA, about 3 am PDT or 6 am EST)

Edit: per request of Terri-chan.

Purple Miku.7032:

Nah I wasn’t joking about the mango pies thing. I normally use dragon’s breath buns or truffle steak for everything, but I keep mango pies for things like Tequatl that you can’t crit.

Ever since I’ve started playing an ele a while ago, I’ve learned how god awful everything is by comparison to heal signet and there is no shame in wanting regen. It’s at least relevant, unlike magic find. I suggest candied dragon rolls for everything that you can crit though since they’re better and heal more.

Shame on you, Miku, shame on you! Get the Power+Vitality food or the Endurance one, maybe?

To OP: I have 2 mains and both have a stack of approriate potions for each dungeons. But then, I have 5 other alts. At this point, I don’t bother to prepare lunch boxes for them all, since it’s not everyday they were used for my regular runs. If I pug, I would not even care, unless LFG is advertised for exp’d meta zerker.

EireBorn.2619:

I can help mentor some people with arah and fractals if needed im on eu

Hey, can you post your contact detail here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Dungeon-Mentors-Noob/first ?

Teach, come back already!

@maha: Sandy (and I) disagrees.

6/6/0/0/2 is better only if you don’t plan on summoning phantasms (terribad mes), want to maximize reflects and are not wearing assassins armor (terribad mes, kinda), or have 0 might/fury/vuln (nobody cares about dps in those parties anyways).

Afaik, 6/6/0/0/2 is pretty much [SC]‘s standard requirement for a mesmer trialee to have a clean Lupi kill in their organized runs. Personally, I don’t have the balls to go for such extremity but witnessing how it works proves to me that “terribad mesmer” is just your opinion.

Iris Ng.9845:

IrisTheCasual

(lmao)

Any would do.

Okay, it’s a bad idea. Weth, can you please just put Iris instead? Thank you.

DEKeyzToChaos.7381:

Aww geez, the forum ate my reply that I attempted to post a couple days ago.

Iris Ng.9845:

Would you choose Sigil of Bloodlust or Forge for sub-level 80 dungeons? Considering both FGS and non-FGS scenario?

Um… maybe for SE P2 and Aetherpath but that’s about it. AC as well if you can tag all the little spiders at the start, and CoE 2/3 during the laser defense if you’re good at tagging.

You need about 15-20 stacks to equal the effect of a Force sigil. So over the course of a dungeon you’ll need to get above 20 stacks pretty quickly to see the benefit – which is a lot harder to do now that you can’t double stack.

Bloodlust is better for WvW if you have two copies.

But I like both Night and Day versions of my Meteorlogicus. The blue hilt may need a bit of rework for the night version though.

And it’s gonna shine in a crazy million wattage like the Achievement Point armor pieces…

spoj.9672:

Those rules dont exclude anything on Mai Trin.

Unless theres some exploit to make Mai do nothing that i am unaware of?

There is nothing you can do to bug Mai but you can use Portal and a bit of Jumping skill to glitch all the cannoneers and assure the safety of your whole group throughout the cannon phase. I’m trying not to describe this exploit in details. Hahaha…

Any would do.

Here it is: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_iL8SdSBt-OemlqbmxJQ2EzLTA/edit?usp=sharing

Very rough. All the rotations are not optimal but even the braindead can use it.

For now it would be all welcome. Since yesterday we have a few more Arah mentors from rT and NA mentors from my side guild [Club].

Sorry. Still doing it.

WOW! Mind blown.

Yeah, it’s floppy and kinda funny when I swing it.

Hey Community,

It’s Iris from the Dungeon Mentor [Noob] initiative. After 5 months of our operation, I want to share with you some statistics.

Currently, we have:

• A total of 310 Members
• 46 Mentors and staff
• 264 Students

For each region, there are:

• 16 Mentors and 49 Students in EU
• 26 Mentors and 215 Students in NA

Traffic-wise, every week there are approximately:

• 12 new invites
• 6 drop-outs
  The interest in joining [Noob] has increased since the Dungeon Tournament

Prestige: We have representatives of many hardcore PvE guilds such as [DnT], [rT], [SC], [Ren], [IX], [ZERK], [DD], [Last] and [KING] to join our rank as mentors. We also serve as a training ground as our graduates have eventually joined these guilds or become new mentors themselves.

The challenge: We are unfortunately understaffed!
This is a community project and mentors are entirely unpaid volunteers. Thus, there is no commitment requirement. Mentors are encouraged to take students whenever they are up to it. All the mentoring session has been on a 1 to 1 basis and some of the more lengthy dungeon such as Arah, TAA or fractals can require up to 3 hours. It will eventually exhaust all of our personnel. The only solution I could think of is to bring in more mentors to lessen the burden of the existing ones. So I plead the community to look at this matter and join hands to keep this initiative going strong.

In short, we need more mentors. Especially for beginners and in Arah. Come one, come all!
