Guild Wars 2

Yea i agree we the post above, I dont mind what people do Maw. its so easy, if one needs to leech it I never mind, let alone dies only twice on the agony part. worst case you wipe and it doesnt reset. This isnt the main point though, sounds like if he was nicer you wouldnt of kicked.

If I would of know you were going to buy a set of zerker gear for running dungeons I would of advised against this. Most peoples on here would of told you to get knights armor instead. Knights Armor + Ruby Orbs is the magic build lol.

Pretty much this. Ive tried going full zerker before but i sometimes make little mistakes and i don’t like getting downed for it. An MF run the other day with a full zerker warrior and myself in the party made me committed to advising people to not go full zerker. Spending half the encounters on the ground isn’t worth it imo. Most people just won’t be good enough to mitigate enough dmg through other means for zerker to be worthwhile.

Zerks only die when the party doesnt have enough total DPS. let me guess, party was filled with non zerks like yourself. No wonder the zerker dies. Clearly your not a warrior, but posting in warrior forums. Theres a reason COF runs are with zerkers only, and not with your kind. because zerks good with zerks. it doesnt go zerks good with bunkers. Why? Bunker is selfish and cant heal for anything, yet they claim they help team (obviously not if people die).

Suggestions forum? Why here?

As intended I would believe. Cant Shake it off from Simian either. Also, other classes stunbreakers/condi removal dont work, or id complain. Although, haveing warrior be the only class to break it would be nice and cause us to be demanded more.

So mesmer 1h sword #2, I hit it and even though it has a slight delay, I usually hit all my invulnerables on time. I rarely miss invuln’ing through the attack I want to block.

So f4, distortion utility, TOTALLY DIFFERENT STORY. zzzzzz
My Life : 3 Illusions and subject alpha casts AOE Rings. Oh Great. I can just invuln. <hits f4> <Waits like 2 seconds> <Dies>

WHY SO MUCH DELAY?!?!?! Other times it seems faster, but I have done COE so many times to where it failed me that I stopped using it. Do the illusions have to explode first or is it instant? Either way I believe it should be quicker

I cant say an exact number, but id guess its about right for the RNG Rate. I get it sometimes, rarely, but sometimes enough to notice it.

Also, anyone remembmer when the patch bugged the rates and they dropped like hotcakes? Ahhh days at Champless Cursed Shore farming UNID Dye, having the UNID Dye be 2s on TP, wondering if it will skyrocket. I was soo naive :c

What several of these posters fail to realize is though that there is a possible way to do these things, not all teams can achive it nor read forums nor even if explained too, can even do it. It must be accepted, some poeple are bad. It happens. You might get a bad team 3 times in a row. Dont worry though, gear your own alts, and you should be able to carry a team in 15+.

I have failed many times cliffside, or rage left before it was finished because someone broke the seal? Have I done a 34+ Fotm cliffside 1 shot? Yes. Does it happen every team? No.

Put yourself in noob shoes never have advanced past 15. It could be his view not having as much experience as I know some of you do, by your posts or by your account name.

The poster is incorrect in his post, but no need to flaunt that we all can do 40+ like its nothing. Focus on pointing out whats wrong, and how to help. Not personal achivements

Gear up.
Get T3.
Get Abyss/Celestial Dye.
Get Gem Store Items to look cewl
Get Pro @ Dungeons/FotM
Get World Completion
Get a cool pvp title (spvp one /rank)
Get a decent rank in WvW in case your friends ask you to go
Make friends to do runs with……etc

Good question on the recipie as I have never seen it, but I can confirm she did used to dro kitten a few patches back (over a month) ago but its not a bug that she doesnt drop loot. I believe it was just a change, the devs felt neccessary for money balance time/risk/reward etc. But does the loot change mean the recipie is gone or now super rare! this must be looked at

Yes, im sure its “hard to implement”

Is it possible and even plausable to think Anet could do this with some work? Yes!

So, i wanna build a zerker warrior for cof p1 speed runs.
My question is, how do i build one? What do people need from me?

My guess is full zerker gear with ruby orbs, and a zerker greatsword right? Can someone post me some good traits build, and i want to know what skills should i use too!

Thank you for your help

You might actually test out your skills as a Glass Cannon before investing on all that gear…not saying you are a bad player…but some people are REALLY REALLY bad at glass cannon builds, well because they are VERY VERY squishy and people who run zerk warrior groups will drop you from the group with your first mistake/down…literally with your FIRST MISTAKE/DOWN…

This is usually due to one member in the party not running optimal build, not being a zerker, having no ascended gear etc and is rarely/never the fault of the zerker warrior.

1 Noob = Zerkers will die. All pro zerkers = Wont die/1-2 might down but doesnt matter since enemy dies

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

Its kind of sad when players have to do homework in order to do a dungeon. Players should be able to learn it as they play it.

Players dont. Maybe not everyone is as smart as others, creating an inherent disadvantage no one could think of and help them get around with external additional help. Sounds like you might know some of them

Chill and Weakness is necros way of screaming IM USEFUL, when in reality, they aren’t.

Score update…

Your signature contains a curse word normally filtered by Anet but you decided to circumvent this. As im not sure report post is accurate, since its your signature I decided to write this.

It offends, astonishes, shocks, disturbs, and causes me grief to see you attempt to subvert such a block on a word you decided to print. Please correct it.

Prot totem.If you die to retal it means your taking massive DPS from butcher, then using haste and trying to burst him down and cant out heal. If you fight butcher normally, even with insane high DPS, it wont kill you. However, if you slip, get hit with ice breach, cleave, get taken down to 4k hp from melee, AND THEN START to burst him, retal might kill you.

TLDR: Newbs who cant dodge regular attacks – kill retaliation+ Prot
Players who have learned how to dodge the big attacks – kill protection only

Danni.4390:

In my opinion, there are no top classes. It is not about the class, rather it is about the player. If they know how to play their class then there is no problem. I play a necro and have absolutely no problem getting dungeon runs/staying in a party and running dungeons. I have had extremely fast dungeon runs with groups that have consisted of a mixture of classes.

Anyone can do anything in this game, but if you were warrior it would be faster.

Im not saying an engineer team cant clear CoF p1, but warrior will be faster.
Im not saying a necro cant do fotm 50+ but warriors/guardian will be faster.
Im not saying an ele cant do dps, but a warrior will be faster.

Its not about “Cant” But Whats the most efficient/fastest/easiest.

4 people not running hammer LOS In hallway. 1 person runs hammer. By using your “eyes”, those 2 things you got, you see if the hammer guy is high on corruption, if so, goto him and get hamer. If your team of 4 cant handle LOS’d chanters, i think your gear might be a tad too low for the challenge of fotm15+

Remember, You can put lipstick on a pig, but in the end its still a pig. Why fix such bad skills ASAP? They clearly need an entire re-design not a hotfix. And other classes have worse problems.

Because you using Range. try a GS/sword/axe and stop kittenholing your character (ranger) into ranged DPS only for PVE Open World Grawl. Problem Solved.

If ranged was as good as lets say, dagger speed, why would anyone melee? I dont want to play Ranged Wars 2. Keep status quo please. Dont let Anet Wannabe developers try to change mechanics

Zygil.1276:

As said in the main class description for Warrior:

“—the longer warriors stay in a fight, the more dangerous they become.”

Clearly not the case when maxing DPS is the most efficient way to go. For now the longer the fight is, the more pressure is put on the Warrior (and everyone else). Our current skills and traits basically tell us “End this fight quickly, or else.”

That quote made me rofl. Thank you. Agreed, clearly not. The longer the fight goes on the less dangerous warriors become as I get scared to land full 100b, kite alot, dodge, retreat, with lack of survivability. ahaha thats great. more like guardians

New Trait – Marine Soldier Training Grandmaster- You gain +25 Power, Vitality, Toughness and Healing Power for every enemy on the battlefield in 900 range. This heals the user fully when first used.

go full zerk, pair with only other zerk wars/1mesmer. no need to tank or dodge again. or associate with those “other” classes

full knight gear
use autistic healing
staff/gs over hammer/scepter-shield

scepter only if truely needed. a big chunk of your heals come from staff empower, and it makes up for lack of range. i only scepter for lets say like : TA Nightmare Tree, Arah, not much else. (alot in fotm)

Hi on JQ the queue has consistently been there for EB but yet when i go in there seems to be no one there. not even enough to defend garrison. it was only 1 server (Sor) pushing and we were outnumbered. couldnt of been filled with people around the map because of the enemys presence? so did they find a way to go around the cap or could there have been a new change that cap’s JQ’s numbers early ?

Either :

A. You dragged them to the box, but mis dragged and deleted (You clicked yes to a confirmation of delete)

B. Your name field auto populated and sent to wrong dude

C. Your friend has not deleted old mail and has a full mailbox (Which can be fixed by him deleting mail)

D. You typed manually his account name incorrect, and it belonged to a different player

No Anet didnt intercept it. My friend since GW1 lent me well over 150G+ to obtain gifts for my legendary, I sent him 500e a few weeks later, to pay him back. Both unbanned.

Both of you. Back on topic of my thread, or leave. Thanks

Hilda Raven.8641:

if it takes you an hour to do dredge you’re doing it wrong. Practice, you don’t even need a thief. Shouldn’t take an hour at all. It is my least favorite fractal hands down, but it never takes an hour unless the group doesn’t know what they are doing.

Ignoring the OP’s blatant exaggeration, it is still the longest fractal by a wide margin regardless if you’re the most skilled / efficient group or the least skilled / efficient group. The disparity of length for the individual fractals is really bad for the gameplay at large because you can never accurately predict how much time you’ll have to commit. Asura / Dredge / Cliffside compared to Swamp / Water / Ascalon is massive in terms of the time differential.

In a non fractal context. The difference between
4 Zerker Warriors 1 Guard is also masive time difference between the same team of 2—3 rangers, thief, necro.

Also add the gear multiplier and the tactics multiplyer.

The stages help, but honestly, its your team, tactics, and DPS they bring to the floor

False reporting on purpose is grounds for being banned yourself.

Example. : I dont like player A. Hes fixing walls, not following commander, I can see he has non exotic gear and is being a general badkid in wvw. Running naked bowing trying to get people not to kill him.

I see players B,C,D, kill him. Wait for him to respawn, kill him again. Wait, and kill him a 3rd time. Player A Doesnt fight back.

I /report all players. A For being bad/leeching. BCD for griefing.

The player who will most likely be banned is : ME. YOU. This is a false report. They broke no rules. Your the offender by wasting Anets time and you will get the infraction. Not them. Good day mate

where there any secret coe changes? LA map chat is talking about it and idk what they mean? I just ran a casual pug path1, it seemed the same/not broken. If there really problems because I dont want to waste my time doing instance and having it break at end. Did they change anything?

Vayra.3290:

Kain Francois.4328:

Thank you. Now I know who to blacklist.

Also, stop being a jerk who insists on joining teams where people want to run a specific build. Call themselves elitists all you like, but by doing things like this, you’re just forcing yourself on people.

Also, magic find has no use in dungeons, so it’s also quite stupid, to be honest.

MF has a nice place in dungeons, I’ve gotten more rares/exotics off general population/boss drops than from chests.

That said, I’m currently running a zerker ele build that is a fair bit above warrior in dps with the right setup.

No. Your not running a ele build that can out DPS warrior. Theres been several threads on forums, searchable, which prove otherwise

I can tell when the whole team isnt zerk. I can find a newb quickly. Serious farmers wouldnt do this. And if you do this all to grief a team, congrats, youll be kicked once they figure it out by the low DPS. Hope ya have fun griefing other human players because they dont do everything like you say they should.

No. Ascended gear + Fractal unique skins vs guanteed bad drops in dungeons too, just alot more silver.

No one makes you farm fotm for gold. It would be OP if they dropped silver. EVERYTHING, Skins, money, exotics, ascended gear, lets throw precursors chance upped too while were at this wish list for all your farm needs in 1

THIS IS THE BEST :

all 4 of the closest WP’ing become contested on Jormag’s landing. anyone in the area of those 4 wps or closer will be de-buffed by “Jormag’s Ice Breath:” Players receive damage if they dont move closer to confront this icy source. The way to get around it is to WP farther away from Jormag; or kill him yourself.

That awkward moment about 2 hours ago when Blackgate logged into a JQ Controlled, BG Keep.

make it require ele with swirling wind or something unique that a big group should have anyway

I just dont understand why ele got vapor form BUFFED early on, they got #2/3 swapped on downed bar, same with another class that i forget, yet warriors are left in the dust. I RARELY get to activate vengence and i play warrior alot

Seems nowadays everyones support. Its become too commonplace.

Definition of support? Anything and Everything that isnt damage.

Support Ranger LFG! (What does that mean, Healing Power + Healing Spring, Search and Rescue?")

Support Warrior Healing Shouts LFG!

Support Engi Heal bombs LFG!

Support Ele, boon sharing LFG!

Support ele, healer LFG!

Support Guard, AH (Which heals yourself, not team) LFG!

Support Necro, Condition>Boon converter LFG

How many more must I list… Its too general a term. Support can mean anything! I find it ridiculous when people say “Support X Class LFG” It means nothing to me. It can mean anything from they are healing, to they are support utlities, to they are tanky and hold aggro, to they drop combo fields… I mean when does the line of support get crossed into another term? Might as well just classify every non zerk build as support because people call everything support.

Honestly I dont even notice EM healing me with AH. The sole reason I run AH is for staff heal on empower. Also if your not running knights/zerk EM makes no sense.

On a side note: I do run both traits, AH and EM. I surely dont run EM for the heals though.

Me too. Seconded!

Hi! I have changed the way I instruct my team in dungeons as I have custom molded it to the general population.

Things To Do:
Keep it simple.
DO NOT Explain why. This makes it longer and more confusing. “We need to goto this area, because itll trigger end boss, if not, we have to fight 30 mobs etc..” Way too much information. The general pug is just looking for how to do it, not a book.
-Once group is in position, then further explaining can be done if asked/necessary.
“Goto this area, we will fight end boss” <<<Way better

Use easy terms like “Follow team, skip with team, stack on team” These are things people understand, remember English isnt everyones first language. Also saying “team” helps the PUG adjust and not have to ad-lib tactics you taught him in one second, he can just copy.

-If its a long/complex skip (i.e. TA some parts) DO say please bring stability/defense skills and let them know they can re roll back to their main build after the skip is complete, and the fight is ready to commence.

-Dont be afraid to spam simple terms, if they are not in bad taste/rude. "Come, Come, Come, Stack, Stack, Stack, <Player X> Stack please are good things to say assuming your not being consdesending, and let the players know its OK that they messed up, and its not a big deal (Your leading them remember so NOTHING should stop your tactics)

Things Not to do:
Get Complex, Explain many steps at once, use vague terms like “We will see a rock and jump above it on cliff to range this boss who shoots lasers out”

type in all caps “SKIP” with nothing else said

Spam “Wt_” or things that will make them nervous, and more prone to error.

Judge them early on and tailor things based on how newb they are. If its a EXP team that your trying to push new tactics/skip on, there might be less to say. If you see its clearly total newbs, change your words.

Nah, id rather debate because any guardian can stack defense and hold aggro. Doesnt mean hes the best player by a longshot.

1. People would complain it encourages DPS heavy builds, which leads to nerf (i.e. Simian)

2. Class Favoritism – GLF2M THIEFS ONLY TO HELP SKIP. If the mobs dont see you, they cant leash can they?

This wouldnt fix anything. Definatly NOT seconded. OP is looking to further break the warrior, clearly another class in disguise posting on warrior forums having never played one

Not even going to list all the reasons, as the community can for me.

All I am saying is, Treb’s are OP, they need a nerf on several levels to even them out.

Thoughts/Comments/Suggestions?

See, the paths they are suggesting are actually hard is my problem. The thing about this game is the high level dungeons are actually easier. It conflicts me to recommend “CM/TA” When in reality hotw/cof are easier but ofc, all levels cannot participate. The easiest path for lowbie dungeons has got to be SE P3, but the Armored Carrier will be very difficult if the correct tactics are not employed. Youd best go with Story Mode’s, or TA U/U, or have the 80’s pug a SE p3 to see tactics, then run it with your guild.

Anyone who recommends CM non p3 to a new group is insane. Even p3 is still very challenging

**EDIT: This opinion is written upon based your guild will NOT be skipping, exploiting etc..

bwahahaha when I read 100 man SoR vs 40 man JQ/BG zergs?? wtf??? Maybe at like SOR Prime time vs BG/JQ downtime but this doesnt happen too often. If anything its BG/JQ #’s vs SoR low numbers, although they have quite the amount of players and/or coordination at times and have run the whole EB map several times. I am from JQ

Even though BG is “new” (theyve been here before) to t1, I still consider SoR the underdogs

Wow honestly, congrats to you. No CoF/CoE. No CS. Thats crazy, and 1000G. Amazing story.
