I want to play my ranger more, for some strange reason, and I think giving her a total makeover is the motivation I need; but, I am having trouble coming up with any inspiration for a new look. I like her in greens and browns and earth tones because it has a rangery feel, but armor-wise I am feeling uninspired, medium armor isn’t popping out at me.

Screenshot has bonus FPS due to bear.

Here’s something on thief that you could adapt to ranger most likely

Also +1 for trying to min-max your FPS

Tentonhammr.7849’s LFG picture with scumbag steve is making me crack up irl LMAO

Lol yeah it’s so accurate though, so is scumbag Stacey. These images will be engraved in my head now whenever I get pugs that fit these descriptions.

uhm.. did that cat’s name include fluffy?

I have met such a “Fluffy” and the run was amazing to say the least

Neko.9021:

If you’re really this concerned for optimization (especially in the context of “speed runs”), you really should just use a direct damage spec. It will do more damage.

If the man wants to use condition damage for speed runs then let him. It is a play how you want game as intended. This way he will receive the maximum Feels/sec ratio he seeks. This post is very =)

J Eberle.9312:

Now all we need is a room filled with 50 or so risen illusionists that cannot be pulled and chain agro each other.

Make them all respawn if they don’t die within 0.1s from each other. Otherwise people might cheat with weakness and clerics builds.

We just need a guard in full nomad running hammer, a necro for the weakness and three eles for the fgs spam.

Izaya.2906:

It would be awesome if the LS made Rytlock inadvertently cast another Foefire instead of lifting the curse and they add a path in AC with SSJ3 haired ghost charrs and SSJ3 ghost Rytlock as the final boss.

If they added any SSJ3 mobs to the game it would take AT LEAST a few hours of dialogue before they would even turn hostile..then once at half health another hour dialogue of them powering up.

All this would be unskippable by the way.

Optimizing for conditions do not work well in a team setting whether it be fractals or dungeons. I understand that the need to try something new and different is fine but when you are in a team things change as other people need to be contributing to the composition as well. If you ever get matched up with a condi necro, any of those builds you posted will lose the condition damage effect and you will only be left with the direct damage which you are not prioritizing in.

You mentioned bringing offhand axe for the reflects. If the reflect roll is falling on you then there will be issues due to the cool down of that skill.

I’m not saying your build is bad…it’s just not optimal for a team environment.

Also…if you are finding yourself dying a lot while on sword, it would be advisable to turn off the auto attack and practice without it. You could also use a greatsword even though that is a dps loss from sword.

Either way…hope you have fun.

Highest I managed so far was 70,927. Interesting that this group comp only maintains 12.62 stacks of might though.

The 70k dps is assuming 25 mights, the litle number below is the real dps.

Engi is OP and everyone mocked Guang for no reason while he was a foreseer.

To spoj, the numbers above 70k are actually not real, the highest realistic (not 25 might but true might of the group) is 68,581 DPS

• Ele Staff 6 4 2 0 2
• Ele S/F 6 6 2 0 0
• Warrior 6 6 0 2 0
• Ranger kitten 0 0
• Engineer 6 6 0 0 2
• Everything scholar.

Ps: The unrealistic 70.1k (25 might in vacuum) was actually double Staff ele instead of S/F + Staff.

http://tinyurl.com/okjkhqc

68,828 dps using
Ele 6/4/2/2/0 Staff
6/6/2/0/0 S/F Ham Conj
Warrior 6/5/0/0/3 GS Axe/Mace
Ranger 4/5/5/0/0 OHT
Engi 6/6/0/0/2 BD

Thanks for the info, I didn’t even notice the second number. I understand now.

But your comp doesn’t have a thief…I can’t accept this

Engis will be the downfall of thieves.

Jerus.4350:

Am I crazy or am I seeing engi actually being a good addition to a lot of group compositions? So If I’m reading this right, an engi might actually get some respect if it weren’t for conjures dominating the game?

You are correct. Engi provides a massive amount of vuln in a world without fgs.

Lmao our charrdians must have a feel down to see who comes out on top

A Nomad Charrdian running 00662 and mace/shield + hammer must have higher fps though! My fps is measured differently than yours.

Miku plays on EU so he wouldn’t know the NA guilds

I would’ve too…he was the opener though. Should’ve left at the beginning but one of the guys and I were like “meh, let’s see what happens”

I know exactly who you’re talking about then. I had him in Arah the other day where me and a couple others ended up carrying him throughout the dungeon. He ended up getting me bubbled at lupi and I was asking him to stop moving around so much and he was like “well (his name) is still alive and you’re dead so who’s the better player now”

He was on his charrdian at the time…which had about 23k health…………

Septaryeth.1970:

Wheatty.1892:

Was one guy from TS? I remember I ran with a guy like that that constantly called everyone “worthless”, pretended to be a zerk warrior when he was obviously a shout heal condi warrior and kicked me for not having a ranged weapon at lupi. Needless to say, he was blocked very promptly.

Yes, Shatterer Inc. I can’t remember what the other guy’s guild is though, it has a really long name.

Now that you mentioned it, he did constantly bragged how he’s healing everyone in the team and how high his healing power is, and nagging about “must range” when we got close to Lupi. Did that person in your team happen to be a charr warrior too?

I thought he’s kidding or just excited as being “the more experienced one” in the team(why carry the commander badge in dungeon?), because some kids do that. I was only slightly irritated towards his put down during the dungeon as I was naive enough to believe it’s too easy to misinterpret joking as malice on the internet, but I guess I’ll now take face value and see him and maybe his friend(s) as people who actually find self-esteem by abusing others on the internet.

Omg was the Charr warrior talking about himself in third person?

As always, amazing work by DEKeyz and Nike and a huge +1 to Queicherius.2563 for making it easier to visualize.

Azrael.4960:

I hope it’s not something like LOTR:Return of the King where Rytlock releases the AC ghosts from their curse and surge out of the catacombs to help the war effort. That would be just too derivative.

Or he might raise Rurik from the dead who then rallies the ghosts from Plains of Ashford, Diessa Plateau and the WvW borderlands.

Or the return of the sword opens up a path to another ley line.

Your third point actually sounds like it could be plausible.

Dredge Illusionists

What kind of cruel mastermind are you…
I hope they have as much HP as the Veteran in the pressure plate room in underground facility on 50 though, or it’s not fair enough.

I was thinking either that or instead of lupi have a Legendary Dredge Illusionist that is the same size as lupi and when it does it’s chaos storm the aoe covers the entire room.

And instead of it spawning locusts it spawns smaller illusionists. At p2 when it transitions it spawns a deadeye with the same amount of hp as the vet dredge.

And while he does the aoe blast horrik comes and starts the canon phase.

And when you harpy feather + order of whispers spykit + ash legion spykit to restart for better RNG, Varra Skylark runs in with her trusty rifle of belligerence and pulls them back to you.

She reminds me of Stuart from Mad TV. “Look what I can do!”

Ahh yes…good ole Stuart http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6q3ucw3pn1rtvc9ko1_500.gif

It’s all about RNGesus…I’ve gotten three precursors in 2 weeks before and I play daily. My magic find is over 200% with the MF infusion.

Ariete The Phoenix.8276:

What about a Legendary Dredge Illusionist that summons undead clown cars that can’t be destroyed and each one summons 5 elite undead dredge illusionist and a totem set(ret/prot/regen). They have the same hp as the spider from the open world in Mount Maelstrom and have a slight chance of reviving just like some mobs in gw1.

They corrected the open world spider’ health.

On another note…sad thing is I think ANet would approve if something like this.

I agree…however instead of Risen Illusionists I would have Dredge Illusionists that are immune to blind and other CC

If FW/UP hadn’t be a broken mess, I’m sure it would have stayed.

I don’t remember it being a broken mess, sure it wasn’t a desirable path but there are a lot of paths that aren’t. To me Aetherpath is just if not more annoying to do than Foreard/Up was. You needed to be organized and know that path already somewhat. The bee part was always fun to do and I don’t remember having much issues getting that done. The spiders at the endboss were annoying but that’s only because mostly everyone just wanted to safe spot it and not take the time to find the proper strategy to deal with the spiders efficiently.

Septaryeth.1970:

Makes you wonder how many of these self-proclaimed soloers actually “soloed” the dungeon, or they just used lfg to get people to do their works for them.

I know you’re pretty upset and you have the right to be but making a comment like that isn’t that “nice” since there are many people that work hard to refine their skill to be able to solo efficiently. The people that kick others for their benefit or the ones that don’t truly solo the dungeon will always get what coming to them, either through their reputation being spread or what not. I remember when the community was destroying instances out of spite or whatever it was, I’m glad that has died down and basically phased out for now, I do not want to have those days come back.

J Eberle.9312:

We need more dredge.

We need dredge that turn into ghosts once we kill them so we have to kill them twice.

maha.7902:

You mean “I find it more fun”. I don’t find killing everything fun.

Your PHIW is showing /Kappa

On a side note…we need smilies

I can only speak for the PvE side of things since that’s all I do:

Thief is a lot of fun! They take on more of the traditional damage dealer in a group/dungeon environment. Not many things can out DPS a thief. We are somewhat “squishy” but that makes up for it with our evades and dodges. When I play my thief I make sure that I know what is around me. Thieves can solo almost as much content as a warrior in my opinion, what stops us is our low Health pool. Combat on thief is very activate and you’re not always just standing there auto attacking unlike others like to stereotype about. It’s about positioning and rotation and making sure the timing is there.

There are several arguments against body blocking earlier in the thread.

For just a low sum of 99g a month I will teach you to read, and give you a set of beautiful steak knives.

Where do I sign up steak knives man/woman?

Mesket.5728:

body blocking in combat / body trespassing while out of combat.

Others game did it and it works perfect. It improves both PVE AND PVP.

That could be said about anything.

Other games did a trinity better, it improves both PVE and PVP.

Other games did mounts better, it improves both PVE and PVP.

Other games did jiggle physics better, it improves both PVE and PVP.

Other games did (insert latest BHB fix here) better, it improves both PVE and PVP.

Gw2 needs better jiggle physics…dem Charr ^.^

The later if by far more satisfying to me (and others, judging by the volume of threads on the subject). Cheesy-mode just isnt really my thing

Why is it more satisfying? And why is dodging against a wall cheesy? I dont see any difference.

And thats fine. Im not asking you to agree with me. You either do or you don`t. I`m sure not gonna spend the past 12 hours trolling and flaming you about it.

So why do you want it stopped if its a personal opinion? Seems rather selfish to me.

I would like to see an end to stacking because it would mean an improvement to the game. If that makes me selfish then so be it.

How is that an improvement? Did you make your Nomad set already and want to try it out and pew pew afk at range while you go make a sandwich or take a nap?

Recycled thread?!? I’ve never seen this topic being brought up therefore the OPs issue and opinions must be genuine and not just another PHIW post because they got kicked from a group for not contributing to the team. It’s not like this has ever been discussed before.

We could make it a game: spin the wheel and go back however many months it tells you to, pick the first stacking fix/exploit thread and quote yourself.
