Guild Wars 2

jebro.6370:

Pvp isnt dead.

Last weeks ESL weekly cup gave us 8 teams, the first time in a few months now tbh

Am I the only one who laughed a little at this?

Just because, it’s 8 teams. I know the weekly tourenys can be considered not a huge deal because they are ran so frequently but come on 8 teams? WOW! PvP must not be dead!

That’s 40 players out of everyone in EU, 40 people signed up.

To me personally, that just seems really laughable.

And as other people have said, top players getting put in games with low ranked people is a warning sign as to the tiny size of the community.

Builds are given ownership within the community, if you can even call it ownership to the person who popularized the build. It has absolutely nothing to do with being the first to make it or what ever.

Sure, you documented the build, and tried to spread it amongst thief players as a legit build, yeah great good for you!

But you are not the reason the build is currently as popular as it is. That is why almost no one credits the build to you.

Stop being so salty over this.

Gandara won by double teaming as they did with piken,and as they do with gh,if they didnt kept playing so cheap we would have beaten gandara again.But they like to hold hands with other servers…and then Still get steamrolled allover the place,like yesterday in EB…that was just an embarrassing display.Kinda funny actually.

This is funny, because if I was given 1 gold coin for each time I seen a Gandaran pug zerg, with the commander spamming map chat for people to get on TS (because most aren’t) wiping the floor with guild groups I’d have bought myself an eternity by now.

Why would Gandara need to double team when pug groups are slaughtering other servers guild groups? Lawl

NeverSmileWF.1684:

No. Anet hit the engineer class with nerf bats over and over again, killing the power crit dps builds ( cos apparently doing a 15k crit was too much for engineers while 27k+ crits for warriors was not enough lol) and also removing condi dmg from all turrets except one ( how dare that engineer counter that 10k hp glass canon build thiefs broken imba invis spam ). If they nerf condi builds even more then wtf do i play? Healing power lol?

Might want to google how Hundred Blades works.

I solo cm p1 devices often too, just to see someone run down stairs alone pull and die as I’m face palming.

It sometimes feels it would be faster to just take the long route around >_ <

Of course they should be fixed, it’s silly how people can be so ok with one rune set being so dominant.

Guardians are viable yes, they have been a top tier class in all of gw2 for as long as I can remember, fun is subjective; I think they are ok, but that’s me. Are they wanted? Yes of course they are, they are extremely useful, can do some high dps and massively pug friendly.

Ninjapotpie.6973:

I don’t see anything wrong with Warriors… they are one of my favorite targets to kill. I beat 95 % of the warriors I face one on one and I play a Engi :]

And Engineers being incredibly strong at 1v1ing in WvW has nothing to do with that? Nope!

After reading the OP I agree 100% agree. And I’m actually confused as to why this wasn’t done in the first place.

+1

What actually causes 4v5’s to run rampant in this game besides people forgetting they are in the que? Because I can’t see that really being the main reason, because how can so many people honestly kitten out and forget?

I don’t understand it really.

I think some of the larger gw2 streamers argued in their sub/partnership applications that gw2 just simply doesn’t have the base viewership for streamers to stay around 400 constant viewers.

So Twitch would have just given them some wiggle room. So like say gw2 averages 200-500 viewers a day, and streamer X consistently averages 100-200 viewers, yeh they aren’t getting 400 views, but they are holding the current majority of said viewers.

TL;DR – Gw2 doesn’t have enough viewers for people to stay around 400, so Twitch is giving the larger streamers some slack.

Someone I know is in the top 50 soloq, played 16 games total. And I believe they don’t touch PvP anymore and have not in quite some time.

Yet there he is, chilling in the top 50. xD

To be honest, I’m at the point where I believe this PvP reward system is going to be total garbage, and Anet knows that if they announce what it is, they will be basically feeding themselves to a pack of rabid wolves.

Like it’s been stated, the PvP rewards are being removed very, very soon yes? So that should surely indicate that the new system is also very close to launch.

So where is the information on it? There isn’t any because the system probably isn’t going to hold up to player expectation and they are aware of this. So really they went and shot themselves in the foot. They waited too long, expectations rise too high. : /

But ofcourse, the patch could turn out to be really good and well designed.

But the lack of any info and such is making me doubt it very much at this point.

Another swing and a miss by Anet. :/

Completely missing the point of what’s so broken on Spirit Watch.

I don’t understand how you can struggle to grasp what’s a problem and what isn’t in PvP, to be honest with you.

It’s soul crushing when I see a dev has posted in a Fix X thread, and it turns out to be something like this.

Really saddening. :/

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

Also because pugs seem to think warriors are automatically top DPS no matter what spec they run, despite the fact that that makes zero sense.

If you want some lulz, try putting up an LFG for “LFG AC P3 (or whatever easy dungeon) speedclear, meta DPS only, ping gear” and just watch the stuff you get from the warriors that join. Some stuff I’ve gotten:

- “[Green Cleric’s Greatsword of Life] it’s okay cleric has power stat so i can dps”
- “[Berserker’s Longbow of Grawl Slaying] im zerk war its fine”
- “[Berserker’s Axe of Force]” but then once the dungeon starts he switches to a rifle (probably PVT stat) and just sits in the back healshouting

All of those people probably genuinely think they’re running a meta DPS spec.

Also this.

The amount of misinformation in this forum is down right laughable.

It really is shocking that people actually legitimately BELIEVE that Warriors are overpowered, highest DPS class in dungeons. LOL

Go look at any guild/group that actually knows anything about PvE, they run 1 Warrior MAX, and that is almost purely for the banners, that’s it.

Pugs stack warriors because of the following reasons.

-Easy to do well with.

-They believe the false information that is spewed all over the place.

-Harder to fail with, wiping and so on is less likely with Warrior stacked pug groups.

They are so popular because of a large list. They just simply tick a lot of boxes on a casual players list.

-They have a very, very easy leveling.

-They have this illusion that they do massive earth shattering amounts of dps, which is proven as fact that they are actually on the lower end of the spectrum.

-Just all around new/and or bad player friendly, extremely forgiving to play.

-Access to multiple weapons, this was a big plus for me when starting, like OMG I can use ALL these weapons! zomg so kewl1!!

-The class reputation has become this warriors are kings of everything, EVERYTHING!!
This is because bad warriors out perform people playing other classes poorly, so these people assume warriors are PvE god mode, when in fact they are just lack any form of correct knowledge on their own class so on, so in the end everyone and their mothers main a warrior. ¬ . ¬

- Large build diversity.

-This is opinion, but almost everyone I’ve spoken to agree heavy armour looks the best. Play a warrior? Look cooler!

-DPS rotation. This is opinion, but if you play the meta pve builds, and see the different class rotations, I have to say that warrior has it far more fun, it’s fluid, more engaging so on. Staff ele? 5,2,1. Guardian? 1111. Ranger? 1111 (Probably not quite accurate, but most classes seem to use 2-3 skills for max dps, it’s boring.)

There is probably more I can list. But like I said at the start, warriors just tick so many boxes on a bad players list, or on a casual players list it’s insane.

I’ve been soloq’ing on my 2nd account alot lately. And I have to say I’m literally on the verge of just afking every single Skyhammer game that pops. I seriously can not take this utter load of crap for a map anymore, I just can’t.

It’s either that or I’ll end up just stop PvPing all together and WvW roam for my PvP fix.

How is this map even still in the game in it’s current state is beyond me, these forums are littered in Skyhammer rage posts it’s unbelievable, and justified, this map is single handedly pushing me away from PvP. And lets be honest, if one single map is capable of pushing people away from an entire game mode then how about, I don’t know Anet….FIXING IT?

And I think one of the worst things about this map, is losing to people who are clearly inferior skill wise, just because you tanked one single cc by accident it’s game over, gg for you. WP? No, F off.

I presume it’s D/D for bosses, and S/P for trash?

And shortbow, only use to premight stack and to get around quicker? Or is clusterbomb best for aoe spam?

Noob questions I know. XD

Not even the fact that LFG doesn’t show the whole adv is the real problem, people won’t read, they just won’t! You can as well go “P1 GUARD” and an everything-but-a-guardian will always be ready to join. Just to make an example.
As far as I saw, not even “gearcheck” will work..was in a party that required full zerk with gearcheck. Only God knows how many clerics/knight/people that won’t link gear were kicked on that day.

Some people would actually link zerker set that they prepared and wear ptv.

But you can see the skin on linked gear, can you not? Now unless they have 2 armour and weapon sets that are identical skin wise this shouldn’t happen. And I’ve never seen or heard of a player using 2 identical looking gear sets, so. D’x

You can never know, they become cunning as they fail to pass the gearchecks

To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if some people do this. Rofl

I thought I remembered the guild name. I think I played with you today Novo, you’re a human guardian, right? : P

This, just this. I pugged the lfg again tonight. Seen a need warrior/x/x – gearcheck or kick group. Joined it, things did go really, really well, some of the fastest dungeon clears I’ve done using the lfg tool.

……But, sometimes the amount of people we went through to get someone who match what our “leader” set as a descrip was disgusting.

Was waiting for a guard in se, I think it was, and the first line you could SEE said “lf 1 guard”, so a warrior joins. The party leader asked if they had a guard they intended to swap to, the reply? “no ;(” just go away, seriously. And that was after a gearlinking dodging guardian, who finally linked after several requests (the descrip said zerk guard) their gear? full blown soldiers and soldier runes.

So I feel your pain XD

I joined a pug group, with 3 spots left asking for warriors and a mesmer, so I thought eh why not and joined.

Then 2 engis joined, neither swapped to the classes that was requested, I point out they are not the classes, get told to stop crying.

So I replied I find it sad people can’t read, and I’m not crying. (Non description readers are REALLY annoying.)

So I just left, out of principle. And one had the nerve to whisp me "i can read, i just don’t care what you little (Homophobic comment) wants.

Don’t know why I felt the need to post this, buy it made me go “Errr what?”

I’m no saint, by any means with pugging, but being THAT rude? Like come on, seriously?

I actually have seen someone be kicked for their model.

Was many months ago. A couple people from the same guild was mocking someones char calling it ugly, and they removed him.

People really are this pathetic, but It’s few and far between thankfully.

Feeding the troll, but to be blunt I’d be tempted to have you kicked. Just based on that attitude.

Refusing to help out the party by swapping out 1 skill. Just lol.

mPascoal.4258:

Guardian can do some damage, but comparing to the OP God Mode Warrior in PvE about damage is kinda silly. No class in PvE can do as much damage as Warrior.
WvW and PvP, depends on spec, but Guardian in both of those modes usually go for bunker specs. Warrior in those can go either Bunker (Mace/Shield & GS builds) or damage and, if played well, manage to do pretty good.

In PvE dps guards out dps warriors.

Warriors being the kings of damage in PvE is a myth. People see the HB numbers and scream OP. It’s been proven time and time again warrior is not king of dps in a group that knows what It’s doing at least.

Hi! I’m really new to dungeons as a Guardian, and have come here for advice!

I’ve only recently hit 80, and I have a 10-30-0-10-20 trait spread, with a sword/focus – GS weapon combo. I’m wondering, if this is correct, as tonight I have recently joined a semi-hardcore dungeon guild, and want to potentially make this Guardian my ‘main’ over my Warrior.

Is taking these weapons at the same time bad, at all? Alot of guides I’ve read are either GS build, or sword/focus build, and never, ever mention weapon swapping, and such, have I done something wrong?

I’m not a bad player, but playing a Guardian, after a year of only Warrior, it’s abit alien to me, all this Guardian mumbo jumbo, and seeking a little help ^.^

Also, can anyone tell me where wall of reflect is required? I know of se1 golem, hotw 1, cof1 helps, ta spiders, and ac spiders and such, but anywhere else?

And I presume it’s zerkers with ruby/scholar still, yes? I’ve read a couple people saying assassins is better : o

Thanks for any help and tips!

Hi, a friend and I are looking for a semi hardcore dungeon guild located preferably on Gandara.

We’re not looking for super elite where everything is and needs to be min/maxed down to the last percent, but we do want a guild where some effort is put in.

Such things as using correct gear and traits also using dungeon specific potions and food.

We know most of the paths, but we’ve not done Arah, and the new TA path or Se2, hope that’s not a problem, we’re quick learners and will pick it up relatively easy.

If we sound like the sort of people you would like, leave a quick message on here or in game.

Thanks!

I main warrior and it gets boring being so strong : /

I would also like to have a race change feature, I’m so sick of being a Norn I’m at the point of considering of just making a 2nd Warrior, and leveling that up, but I would also have to do world complete again :/ (Can’t stand seeing for example 78% done!)

So Anet would rather me level up another char, which they get absolutely no profit from, than getting a quick £20 (Or what ever the cost will be) out of me.

Seems kinda silly imo that it hasn’t already been implemented, seeming name and total make over changes have been added.

I also think it’s odd that the class art shows a weapon that’s not even in the game >.>

Today also, me and my friend on skype began discussing what weapons can be added to classes, we both agreed on 2H axe for Warrior, but couldn’t think of any skills, other that the standard leap to X and deal X dps, or X attack to cripple etc :/

But I think if Warrior’s get 2H axe, (my main is Warrior) then Guardian should get a CROSSBOW!!

:D

Defektive, honestly, how are Warrior’s now?

Like for example, in my experience, in MMO’s a bad stigma tends to become permanent.
So if a bad class is bad for long enough (like us Warriors) then we are doomed to be generally viewed as bad by the community as a whole even when we aren’t, if you get what I mean.

Not saying that Warriors are bad right now, but after being weak for so long, I feel it’s going to be hard to shake off this bad vibe of the class.

Like right now, people must be losing matches, or 1v1’s and blame it on the class, rather than think what they could improve etc.

And kudos, watched your Thief 1v1 video, you make it look so easy man ^.^

Was more directed at Warrior PvP >.>

Warrior pve insanely good (why isn’t it nerfed???) lol

I have read VERY LITTLE on current ideas on how to “fix” Warrior’s. So the following is what I have thought of, some are no doubt common idea’s, so I will now say sorry for repeating any existing idea’s.

I will simply use a bullet point format, with a sentence to a couple lines on why I believe it to be a good fix also: DISCLAIMER: This is from a r16 PvPer. So please, forgive me for any “noob” suggestions, but at r16, I have already picked up on many things, such as what makes Warriors as weak as we are etc. (Rank isn’t everything, seen r50’s plus who are awful etc)

Rush – Terrible skill for actual combat. animation is poor, easy to dodge etc.
Make is faster, improve the reliability of the skill further, or just rework it completely, maybe something like WoW Warriors charge? ( The skill very briefly stuns the target just before "collision* to prevent silly dodges, silly terrain problems, you get the idea)

Rework mechanics that conflict with basic class mechains – Please, forgive me if other classes have this problem ( mechanics conflicting with CLASS mechanics, not necessarily this problem) For example, why does Warrior have a trait that increases damage based on current adrenaline? With a heal following the same mechanic?
Thought the mechanic of Warrior was to build this resourse, and spend it, not hold on to it. This defeats the point of the original design intent of the mechanic

PvP sustain – Condi removal is fine, the healing now might be fine (The heals might still be bad, but Warriors might just be used to such crappy heals that they now feel strong when they arent, haven’t played alot of pvp so not sure at the moment)

Am I the only one who thought, why not add a mechanic that heals you based on how much adrenaline you spent? Cleansing Ire is a great example of “warrior sustain” 1. It rewards offensive play 2. Rewards spending adrenaline (as I described earlier, the class seems to hate spending and love spending it at the same time….)

Improve weapon utility – Other class weapons can provided dps reductions, give cc, healing, regen, on weapon skills, the viable Warrior weapon skills provided like next to none of this lol. It will help raise the skill cap of the class of such stuff was added, like oh shall I swap to this weapon set to get X? or keep my current weapon for Y? I don’t know really, but after leveling an Elementalist to 12, I seen their bleeds, dps reductions, blinds, dashes, regen, direct healing I was like :OOOOOOOOOO???? LOL

Anyway, I’m tired, rambled like hell, half the stuff I said probably didn’t make sense, and the other half is common complaints, but I thought I’d add my 2 cents.

Cheers guys! Have fun!

Don’t give up! persevere! We have all had thought’s of giving up, I have, but I decided to stick with my beloved Warrior now through thick and thin!

Now that we are starting to emerge as a stronger class, the time is now to shake off the stigma of being worthless trash!

We are WARRIOR’S! stand proud! We may be common, we may be called trash, but they will never break our spirit!

Tonight I was looking at the character creation screen, pondering what to replace my Warrior with, but after a while, I thought you know what? I’m better that a FOTM reroller, people like defectivex (hope I spelled it right ) have shown we aren’t absolute rubbish, deserving nothing more that mockery!

Sorry for the random motivational speech, tonight I thought you know what, I’m a WARRIOR why try to hide that and shame myself by rerolling! Who’s with me ?

HUZAAAAAAAH

Guardians are hella common on my realm aswell, along with Warrior’s.

They are common and every where just because they are such a well made class, that is, as some people call them the “golden class”.

Good in pve? Check
Good in S/T pvp? Check
Good in large scale wvw? Check
Good in small scale wvw? Check
Can support/dps/tank viably? Check

To be honest, just change class. Anet said that they won’t really be doing big balance changes for a bit due to their upcoming tournament.

So, as a Warrior, you will continue to be in 8th place. I play a Warrior my self, and it’s painful and down right silly how weak of a class we are after so long. You would think any competent wanna-be Esports game would have fixed this rubbish AGES ago!

After coming back to the game (once again) and after reading/playing my Warrior, I’m convinced the class is for ever doomed to be horrific and bad.

The Warrior class in gw2, is going to be forever stuck in this weird power struggle, they are either going to be to strong, or just to weak. Because the way the class is designed, and for the longest time, they have to my memory been incredibly weak in PvP.

I’ve watched alot of the state of the game videos, and other videos that contain valid points made by some of the best PvP players, and they all say what’s wrong with the class and here we are, still like next to no improvements later.

Get’s really depressing knowing your main class is utter crap, and that the dev’s themselves don’t even know how to fix the class, pretty sad and disappointing to be honest.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Wildstar destroys Guild Wars 2, because let’s be honest, gw2 really isn’t a holy grail of an mmo that so many people make it out to be. As much as I like this game, and trust me, I do, it has so many problems it’s unreal.

A more enlightened thought would be that a casual-friendly do-your-own-thing game like GW2 would have its own place alongside a hardcore raid progression sandpark like Wildstar.

And I hope it does

But no one can deny this game has problems, and when I say destroy I don’t like mean it’s going to end gw2, just that in terms of popularity it’s going to do very well.

And in before ESO failing hardcore!! xD

So Wildstar is going to launch fully balanced with no bugs, and tons of content and six months down the road the forum won’t look exactly like this one. Gotcha.

EVERY official MMORPG forum looks exactly like this one. The complaints about not enough end game, bad balance, too much grind, etc. Every single one of them.

You think Wildstar is going to change that? What makes you think that the same thing won’t happen to Wildstar that happened to Guild Wars 2. People talked to me a few weeks ago about Neverwinter and now that it’s here, every one of the people who touted it to me have already stopped playing.

Wildstar will have some adherents, but I don’t believe most Guild Wars 2 players will make the jump. I consider ESO to be a much bigger threat, particularly because they’re copying so many of the Guild Wars 2 sensibilities. But I think that game will suffer from far too much hype (and Guild Wars 2 itself has) and as a result, I think it will end up falling hard.

A lot of people dislike this game because it doesn’t have stuff like raids. A lot of people like it for that very reason.

And we know from experience, any game with raids will be frustrating because they’ll end up being so much of the focus. It happened in Rift, it will happen there too.

I never said Wildstar was going to be perfect did I? I was just stating that this game WHICH I LIKE SO YOU KNOW, has done nothing but release next to nothing that I would consider proper content. The living story gets away with being so poorly made and cheap just because they churn it out so fast.

I’ll most likely play Wildstar AND gw2 when it’s out, so don’t think I’m hating on gw2 to promote WS, but I think most people who take off the rose tinted fan boy goggles and take a look at gw2 it needs a kick up the rear badly.

What YOU would consider proper content. On the other hand, other people do consider some of the content proper content. Maybe not permanent content, but I think the MF dungeon was proper content. Guild missions are certainly proper content (whether you like them or not).

You don’t like the direction the game is going and that’s fair enough. Yet every time there’s an update, the servers are swamped. Someone seems to like them, even if you don’t.

Why do people find it so hard to understand that just because they don’t like something, a large portion of the population might well feel differently?

From reading these forums over the last few updates, people only seem to log on for the rewards, not because each months content is any good. If you disagree then you disagree.

Mirta.5029:

Mjgander.1905:

Like I said, I like this game but they need to stop kitten around with this awful living story rubbish, and actually start releasing something solid. I’d take slower paced content that was actual content, than gimmick mini games and fixing signs.

And that is your opinion. This game is one of the few MMOs that’s attempting to implement a living, changing content. And I kind of like it.

Oh yeh the concept and the actual lore of the living story is fantastic imo, it’s just that it’s so badly executed I just can’t help but facepalm at it

There is more mmo’s to pull people from than just gw2, besides, Wildstar is looking to have more than enough content for non raiders.

Like for goodness sake they are going to have more than one PvP mode, 10 months in and all we got is a game balanced around a single game mode probably for the sake of esports when we all know deep down inside it’s probably never, ever going to happen.

Wildstar has more types of content at launch than gw2 in 10 months lol

EDIT: And I say “balanced” around conquest, and they can’t even do that >.<

I can see how they have far more content when you feel the need to mention the double jump
There are MMOs that I like and play besides GW2. They’re really good MMOs. They are not causing this one to die though. The same way that GW2 is not causing their death.

I just added that in because I thought it was cool :P

But let’s be honest, what does gw2 have to show for 10 months of work? Nothing, except a couple maps for PvP, which from the looks of it, seems, well dead compared to the PvE aspect of the game.

Like I said, I like this game but they need to stop kitten around with this awful living story rubbish, and actually start releasing something solid. I’d take slower paced content that was actual content, than gimmick mini games and fixing signs.

Wildstar’s got:

-Raids
-Battlegrounds
-Arena’s
-Player housing
-Path system
-Double jump and sprint!
-Warplots
-8 races
-Action combat
-6 classes
-Open world PvP

Most people that are in GW2 don’t really like raids and things like that. So I don’t think that a game that caters to a completely different audience could destroy GW2.

There is more mmo’s to pull people from than just gw2, besides, Wildstar is looking to have more than enough content for non raiders.

Not to mention NCsoft take in all the income from bought gems.. the money is spread out through their games. There will be an expansion, but when? NCsoft need to get their kitten in gear, and focus on their most successful MMO.. GUILD WARS.

Wildstar? Wow, player housing, that’s not been done before. Aion was a flop. Tabula Rasa lasted 2 years. How will Wildstar be any different? They need to pump all their cash into GW2 and Anet, so we start getting good, enjoyable, and lasting content.

To be honest neither of the living stories have caught my interest. Haven’t done anything for them, maybe spent 30 mins wandering around, got bored, and went back to doing my own thing..

I wouldn’t be surprised if Wildstar destroys Guild Wars 2, because let’s be honest, gw2 really isn’t a holy grail of an mmo that so many people make it out to be. As much as I like this game, and trust me, I do, it has so many problems it’s unreal.

And the living story stuff? How is this in gods name “content”?

Go fix some signs!! Deactivate mines and drag an immortal “boss” into them to kill him!
Here’s a silly gimmick of a mini game that only get’s played for the achieves and skins that you can win if you’re lucky! And the actual stuff that can be classed as “meaty content” like that flame dungeon? JK let’s remove it! I don’t know if the super adventure box has been removed, but if it has then just…/facepalm….

Wildstar’s got:

-Raids
-Battlegrounds
-Arena’s
-Player housing
-Path system
-Double jump and sprint!
-Warplots
-8 races
-Action combat
-6 classes
-Open world PvP

That is absolutely nothing to scoff at for a game to have at launch.

Not entirely sure why i went off on a rant, I guess it’s because each month Anet release these poorly made and quite honestly poor excuses for content that Wildstar has massively grabbed my attention I guess :/

Thanks for the help guys, does anyone also know how good Engineers and Rangers are in PvE? I’m looking for an alt also to level asap and play, what weapon/stat builds if the “meta” for these in dungeon gold clearing and farming?

Can someone help me with this? I’m coming back to the game after a long break and I’m not sure on what builds people expect you to be running for dungeons and CoF speed clearing for gold.

I got to level 80 and kind of stopped playing, so I didn’t get to experience first hand what was good or not etc.

So can anyone help me with this? I enjoy most weapons and play styles so it doesn’t bother me what the “meta” is for dungeon Warrior’s is

Thanks for any tips if anyone helps

What do you mean refine the tiers? I’m pretty new to this

And discovery?

So, I got to level 80 like 2 days ago, and I got armor and weapon smith on my Warrior, so I thought I’d get my proffs up, but I’m wondering how much gold is it going to cost me roughly? Any ideas?

Also, how good is the level 80 crafted gear anyway compared to dungeon and karma stuff, thanks

Also, is there any guides that are still relevant to crafting that can help me level them in the most gold and material efficient manner? Thanks again.
