AR = Agony Resist. You get them in a plethora of ways.
Fractal 10+ Daily tier bonus chests
Save up 10 Pristine Fractal Relics
Save up 30 Laurels
Save up 40 Luarels + 50 E.
Save up 12 commendation guild merits and 5G.
Craft a backpack that can be imbued with +5AR
There might even be more! But as you see there ways to get your AR before you step into fractals. And ways to just run 10x level 10 dailys, and get AR regarless of the RNG that drops during those runs.
For the record, if Whirling Defense hits 12 times and the final number is 9.9k then each hit was only 825.
You also better hope your opponent doesn’t decide to move two steps to the side or back since you really have no way to lock them down for the duration and you can’t move. (Entangle might work but that’s only maybe)
Do you believe and support that whirling defense, needs a buff, and if it did, would become EXTREMELY viable? Buff as in, moveable, channeled but not interuppted if hit, etc..
I’m interested in what and how you’re doing this JJ, not trying to be patronizing,.. I’d really like to try it out. I’m always hunting for a BBD Bigger Better Deal. Are you using sword main and axe off with shortbow for ranged? I just started Great swording and love it but if this is better heck sure! thanks
and I agree Florg,.. but our bows do subpar even with abilities compared to others,. soo,…
Im just trying stuff too. Yea shortbow after i take damage, but hopefully i can learn to play mostly melee one day.
Axe offhand seems to be rangers biggest DPS bursts but then the problem is, the main 1h weapons are bad!! 1h sword ugh, frustrating but decent damage, and axe is lower dps, but good abilities. I cant decide on what to use. or to just use GS consistently.
I just found how much DPS this did few days ago and seemed like i never saw anyone use this, so just saying.
yea it makes you die faster, but not any faster than a zerker warrior, or a zerker d/d thief (minor armor differences, medium is actually midground) If wars can zerk melee, why cant we? They have the same type “1 heal and your done” as us.
Gear: Full zerker, Ascended Gear, 30/30/x/x/x. Armor=Ruby Orb’s Zerker.
Shortbow = Hits 800-1.2k. With 25 bloodlust stacks, can go up to 1.4k maybe.
Greatsword = Hits 2k-3.6k(Top DPS on the Leap finisher and 1 other)
1H Sword= 1.5-2.3k DPS (Needs a revamp as the dodges are annoying)
AXE OFFHAND = THIS IS YOUR KING DPS. 12X Whirling Defense, my end burst was 9.9k, meaning hits leading up to it was 6k>>7k>>etc.. quite alot of DPS AND reflects.
So, your 1.5-2.5k Ele Fire Auto attack better than this how? Also, why do you guys use bow? Just because its a “Ranger”? I use bow like i use all my ranged weapons, sparingly. Only on epic boss fights where zerker is impossible etc, but for general PvE, and dungeons like CoF, CoE, SE, etc… this is wayyyyy more dps.
At first I was like, Not this thread again, and then i was like, OH, Deja Vu
No, orr isnt more challenging than Slave Driver. What in Orr takes 1/3-1/2 your hp or instakill squishers besides a temple? Ive had plenty teams wipe/fail on Slave Driver, only to die lots more on the Acolyte part.
Just because its easy for you, doesnt mean its easy for the community.
Also, Sucess at dungeon path completion DOES NOT equal easy. It means its possible. Doesnt mean during that 15 min run, there was no struggles.
During the Rescue the engineer part, theres way more safespots then the cave, again would be a temporary patch and would make players hide “In the other safespot” vs cave. Not worth the effort or time.
The gate controller mobs can 1 hit for all i care. I need about 5 seconds or so to burst it down on a Zerker Warrior. As long as they are downed and not fully dead, theres no way even 100000 damage will stop me from completing my gate before they die.
Why would you expect a response.
A. You posted in the wrong forum. There is a “Bugs” Section. Not “Dungeons”
B. Obviously, you are not the first to report this. Why would they reply to every duplicate thread.
C. Its not a game breaking bug. While reporting something unexpected, such as AC End boss not being able to be interrupted is potentially game changing, this doesn’t affect much.
D. You took jokes from the old thread and expected it to be a hit or people wouldnt realize these were old.
E. Posting hi devs, does not make your post more likely to be responded too.
Furthermore, your post seems to be a post just saying its funny in a way, by putting in jokes, and not asking for a response or declaring it a bug or anything, so it doesnt provoke a response in that sense because the poster did not ask for one
people complained they did “20” level 10 fractals with no rings, so they made pristine. now the same people complain they have too many. thats why there shouldnt be a use.
you realize saying hammer is good for fight with AH doesnt add up since ALL weapons basically make symbols (Few dont) and ALL of those symbols give a boon to allies hence ALL symbols trigger AH. Hammer is possibly worse for AH due to the cooldown on the symbol vs other weps spammable symbols.
Staff isnt meant to DPS. Spam empower, switch back to DPS weapon. This is what triggers AH the best btw, not symbols. Empower, is your best heal. Buff Team/Heal, then go back to dps weapon
Other than GS, your looking at more of a support role. GS is how guardians break from the trinity, and DPS. I dont think there is a next highest. Its all just standard. i.e. hammer after playing gs seems low, mace/shield is low, staff is low, etc…
Yes! This. Gap the bridge
If you were right, why are CoF P1 Speedruns using GS Warriors and not A/M Main warriors? Has that run not been tested 1,000’s of times?
JQ is the #1 WvW and PvP server there is, in the entire game. It could be he was just pro, or had help somehow you didnt see.
No, that is EXTREMELY low. My zerker hits for 3k about for just a regular axe swing. Something is very, very, low on your DPS.
No idea on runs. I must have at least 40-50+ Rings total
this was only a way to bridge the gap of broken mechanics
I dont even consider it a grind. Just long and boring. Doing my daily isnt a grind to me (Debateable) But even so, doing it for 40 days is just yawnface.
At first it was AC is too easy, people speedrun it, people just go to alts at last boss since its easy too AC is too hard. Pick what you want. Choose what you wish for carefully
Use swiftness? Stun him/Immobilize when hes under the faucet to gain distance too (ask team if you have none). Ive never had the boss “on my heels” even when he does chase you
Guys, Should we goto the armory?
Maybe its because they build their guardians around healing power which is fail but still is the common tactic. I gurantee a well built guardian could at least 2x outlast your warrior, since your warrior is well built, you cannot compare it to badly built guardians. You must compare it to an equally well built guardian, and id love to tank the same monster with you to see who can last longer as a little fun contest
I’ll state the obvious again: AH in and of itself, does NOT support your group.
Please try to argue this fact some more.
You’re just splitting hairs. Call it whatever you want. If you’re alive, your supporting your team. AH keeps you alive. If ANYONE in your team is staying alive, they are supporting the team.
You do realize AH heals the team at the end, Right?
A Tank Warrior, Is the same as a “Glass Cannon” guardian, pointless. Or how about them necro well support healers? just stupid…
I never used food to begin with and I turned out fine. Maybe this will encourage more skillful play.
It is sad that elementalist with daggers can survive better then warriors at melee range. You can only dodge 2 – 3 times and then it’s over. At melee range we attract more aggro. Skillful play, you say? Were you farming CoF p1 too much? For everything else dodging is not enough if you are in melee range.
A combinations with Vigorous Shouts, Adrenal Health, Healing Signet and Omnomberry Pie was keeping me alive as Berzerker Axe / Mace Warrior.
This post screams stupid.
The way you say that 2-3 dodges as your only option, tells me that you don’t know anything about the warrior at all. Let me tell you.
There are multiple ways to survive more than with 2-3 dodges.
- Use your teammates. Get your teammates to hold aggro while you regen whatever hp you have left. Dungeons are not solo-played, glass cannons are not tanks. When you have hp back again, you can take the burden of aggroing mobs again.
- Get a secondary ranged weapon. Using a ranged weapon will lower dps, yes. But some dps is better than no dps.
- Control skills- You play an axe/mace, use cripple to get away from the enemy. It also helps your teammate to hold aggro. Use mace 5 to knock them down. If you use a rifle as a secondary range weapon, use #2 and/or #5. If you use a longbow, use #5 to immoblize, use #4 to blind.
- Endure pain is a great skill to get away from huge pressures. I mainly use this to revive downed players under huge pressure or get away from certain death.
- Add more dodge per minute with Signet of Stamina.
- Wear knight armor instead. Clearly, you are not skilled enough to wear Berserker armor. Wear Berserker armor when you are skilled in mastering survivability in knight gear.
Get your teammates to aggro? So I should tell a 10k hp glass thief, or 13k hp zerker ele to “Tank while I regen bro” – I get 3/4 of my life stolen in 1 second, so tell them to tank for another 29?
Ranged weapon? So because I am not full defenseive, with full defense utilitys (Diablo3 anyone) I cant even melee now and forced to range? Why wouldnt you just bring a mesmer who has better ranged DPS. Melee, is how a warrior stays competitive.
Axe/mace – Ive used it. 1 block vs GS 0 blocks. That wont keep me alive. The CC on mace is 2 second knockdown for a 3+ minute fight. Where do these magic control abilitys that make things not hit you come from?
Endure pain is a JOKE. You dont know when burst damage will hit, suddenly, you just find your hp at 1/3. I cant PREDICT when a enemy lands a crit, only after. So hitting it AFTER the enemy bursts you does nothing.
Knight armor to kitten my DPS into oblivion and never crit? Id rather do 2x the damage even if it does mean dying 2x more. Its not a skill issue, your Mr. skills obviously, giving some of the worst tips alive, but yet you say Knights is good, when clearly you suggest ZEerker is better. So how do you plan on killing stuff in zerker, if its skill armor, that just pummels you in melee? Dance like a fairy? Not to dps as you dodge around the map like a Avenger from the movie? Kite so much you hit 1/100b per 30 secs? Ya…clearly your taking shots at people and you have NO IDEA how to play warrior. Your probaly an engineer.
Warrior is about DPS, not about damage reduction. You want to be tanky? Play guardian. Stop being a bunker warrior and you dont have to worry. On the other hand, if you use this signet for the Active Bonus, like me, you dont care about the passive.
me too. it wont auto cast FGJ. too many kitten people complained, sigh,,, another warrior nerf
Berserker. No one takes warriors for the support, they take them for the DPS. If people wanted tanky, they get guardians.
With the food nerf, they should make sigil of blood + crit food stackable. Previously, it was OP but now that there is a cooldown, both should work because if you really want to run a healing/tanky build, you use this. if you sacrifice damage for heals such as the food/sigils are, you should be rewarded.
CoF p1 survived everything! NO Changes! Great news
Warriors make better use of this than any thief. Warriors have anywhere from 75 ( Full zerker w/perma fury (easy)) to 100 (Traited etc..) Crit Chance.
All other classes dont come near this.
the res skills were ALREADY changed from being able to res dead players (some of them) and now all of them are only downed, cept ranger’s search and rescue, which imo rangers need to stay competitive with other classes
Comments about dungeon changes? Find any unanounced?
To me, AC is easier than CoF p1. Ive had countless bad teams wipe on Slave Driver, or unable to kill effigy. Very very few fail AC path1. If they do, they get a ele.
yup path1 used to be “Hard”, path 3 “impossible” and path 2 <3
That means one of his own friends voted to kick him? O.o
It’s 4 warriors and 1 mesmer.
Or as the pros do it 2 thieves 2 warriors 1 mesmer.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/10g-Hr-CoF-Farming-Beginners-Guide/firstIt’s the party make-up for dungeon farming, you find the easiest fastest dungeon, you go pure DPS and just pound the bosses as fast as possible with omnombars, you can make a buttload of money.
Interestingly enough if you look at the top dungeon players, it’s the same way high level DUNGEONS are run too, you just end the fight as quickly as possible.
High level fractals are similar, but you usually use a guardian for support instead of mesmer, and the DPS heroes are Enig (vuln) , Necro (condition), Thief (pure dps) Warrior (banners)
You have NO idea what your talking about throughout your entire post.
that made me smile ^
Make a guardian and you probaly wouldn’t of been kicked
-zerker.
30/30/x/x/x/
I bought 4 shields today:
TA, CoF, CoE, SE.
All came with Superior Sigils of xx (10% extra damage vs ) EXCEPT the CoF Shield! It came with a major sigil, that only granted 5% vs flame legion. Why is CoF gear undervalued?
I dont mind ressing someone if they deal 20k-30k 100b vs a ele who lives forever doing 2k dps
Because other classes have better skills that provide benefits greater than any combo field can possibly deal out
Where did you hear this? o.o
Me and some friends play dungeons together, and will use VoiP for some of them.
Ive noticed:
1. CoE – Beggining mobs in hallway. The SAME mob dropped a Corrupted Lodestone for ME AND MY FRIEND. We both run 0 MF. Coincidence Much?
2. CoE – Often times (Not always) when he gets a Charged Core from a chest, I will also get a charged core.
3. CoF – Often times when a chest gives me a yellow (Which is semi-rare), my friends will come up with a yellow.
4. Fractals – Often times when I get a yellow from a end chest (non-maw), my friend will get the EXACT same yellow from the endchest
Seems like when you enter, the loot is pre-determined or something… Am I onto something? Or am i crazy?
Are you guys going to kill me when i ping my level 5 “Aqua Breather” in level 10 underwater fractal
It was different like a week ago. Now its changed.
The only time I have been kicked from CoF p1 group on my ranger….was by an engineer. He claimed he “had a friend” even though I was second to join the group. Warriors arent the only ones. Also, try using a GS on your ranger. You will shock, wow, and awe the melee’ers once your mixing it up with them
I find that in most groups no one ends up running the lava rocks because people try to DPS the vets, to no avail, and then the vets still kill the captives before his bubble is whittled away
YUP! the first day of the new patch and new skin it showed i had 10 AR but i had 25 lololol. I had to put on my gear all over again, from stripping naked for it to re-update. And i do think that when it showed my low-AR , its what it calculated at, as i think i took big damage from agony. since then , never have had a problem
