Guild Wars 2

The wiki is wrong, as it shows the damage at 0% LF^^.
Life Blast does great damage, mine on average are 3k, but it can get to 4-6k if you stack might and vuln >~<. (Or more if you take 20% damage trait under 50%hp) The only bad thing about it, is it has bad aim, and can fail alot if you aim at something diagonallllly ; ;.

Its an easy way to get the 300,000 damage achievement tho^^.

Skale Venom is kinda usless in PvE, and getting banned from WuvWuv (Thank Grenth~!) Most Champions are immune to it, and NPC’s don’t dodge roll. Only time you ever get to get use out of it is fighting lots mobs of things when it actually applys, an there is only nice for the glancing

I do appreciate you pointing out fun consumables, especially Necro-centric ones My first 20 slots of inventory is all consumables, toys >~<

First time i’ve been able to get on the forums

But i’d just like to thank the Mags for the awesome battles, beginning of the night was painful with all the people around but we still managed to have some fun

Brought it back to CD BL for some awesome duels and group Battles. Good Fights all night

Shout outs to [OG], [PYRO], [SM], [CAMP], [WAR], and a sry to those i forgot :P

EDIT: lol we’re we not up to your expectations Mike xD? We dont claim invincibility and we still have a kitten-ton we can learn and improve on. Plus tonight was a tad crazy

Had some really fun duels^^

Jasmine Salina.3609:

I don’t suppose you could remove the Pirate Peg Leg consumable as well from WvW?

Done! Thanks for letting us know.

Please remove Plank too, it is sold literally 2ft away from the Gears vendor and also has a knockback with no cooldown^^. Also TYVM for removing gears an scale form wuv wuv~

Both those videos were amazing<3~

The problem with a death shroud boon build is you should only go into death shroud for a second to chill/fear and get your boons. Every second extra you spend in deathshroud is boon downtime ~

You can get 100% fury and 66% retaliation uptime(more with boon duration =) with the Near to Death trait, but only if you never stay in deathshroud~ (This works well with Shrouded removal, but honestly the only time I tried this build I got really tired of button mashing >~< F1 F1, wait 4 seconds, F1 F1, lala~ .(_ _ ).

Wizardauz.3761:

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

http://mos.millenium.org/matchups#NA

WE’RE GOING HOOOOOME~! yayyyy!

“This forum is a place for everybody to show off the cool Guild Wars 2 related websites, tools, videos and other resources around the internet.”

This video isn’t cool, its showcasing what’s broken about the game. Why would you move this to Linksville. Come, come see how cool an broken WvW is for theifs~

(You did do a good job at soloing the keep lord tho Budchgon^^. I honestly feel like 90% of the tower lords are bugged and never fight back for more then a second~)

NitrousIgnition.7862:

A quick little video from our side (FA) when we got wiped by mag after ninja-ing bay earlier this evening. We went out valiantly. It was hilarious. Good fights tonight from both DB and Mag.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg7mXXKqRI8

lol, that push was hilarious^^ “That’s 3 down~!” Fun vidi~

Papish.5806:

but what about my rainbows….no1 ever suspects the necro full of rainbows to be a mass murderer

Necro Rainbow Scythe Bifrost > All other Bifrost

Dredlord.8076:

you shouldn’t play the necro

sorry you just don’t sound like you are cut out for it…

The Necro is not ammused~!
Nothing is more rewarding then putting a Well of Corruption down on an oncoming zerg and watching that 25 might go poof, or leading a charge as a Blind/Chill plague an shutting disabling everything you come across~^ ^. Necro has amazing zerg synergy

If you want to roam around in WvW and duel people and win 90% of the time with the least amount of effort, go roll a theif, and dont’ make silly threads like this where you complain about beating a necro, or loosing as a necro 1v1. ~

MarMaster.6241:

It’s broken in PvE, but the foes, being simple AI, don’t know how to post in the official forums. I’ll request that AI gets rights to point out the injustice, too.

<3

Why would you want to empower they other server with free siege and badges to take your towers, keeps, and family’s by being friendly in the JP? O _ O. You’re doing your server a dis-service by not killing the red player next to you near the top. Even more so if its a Mesmer. Enemy mesmers are worth 20 points.

That, and I enjoy reading the semi-montly QQpost in the WvW section about some poor pve person who is to afraid to actually fight to get there Gift of BATTLE. ^.~!

You can heal yourself pretty well with Vampiric traits while in Plauge. Add a sigil of blood on your weapon and omnomberrys and you’re set unless you get überfocused

Blindfreeze plauge is amazing at shutting down enemy zergs for your own group to kill them. Perma blind/chill/poison(lesshea) on 7 people, they arn’t going anywhere, healing for much at all, or hurting anyone^^

Edit: Don’t forget to drop your wells infront of you on your desired target, works well with their long cooldowns

I’ve been tempted to try that trait out so many times, especially with Close to death. I always get distraced ty staff cooldowns and marks thow whenever I go into death magick >~<

That and shroud stomping guardians/rangers/warriors/necros with stability makes my day every time I get to<3

Zyfram Tyrjala.4561:

Well Lich form would only be used twice: Boss 1 and Boss 2. The cooldown would be irrelevant, as enough time passes in between the two.

Blood is power gives us 10 might, and honestly most of these groups don’t keep up a reliable 25 stacks of might, the bosses go down too fast. 4 warriors with 4 great justices is 12 stacks, with your signet of rage is about 15. Blood is power is an instant 10, only a 5 stack difference.

That damage is more than made up for by our builds. A greatsword warrior damage build does NOT have full trait points in the critical damage line. Ours would, it’s optimal for a berserker necro to go full down that tree. the extra 15-25% critical damage would more than make up for the difference in might stacks.

Full GS build is 20-20-0-0-30. (there’s others) So yes, they can get 30% increased crit damage. They also get perma fury, and have at a minimum, of 15might 24/7. The Greatsword trait also gives them might for EVERY CRIT they do, no cooldown, so after your first whirl or HB you’re at 25might till the end of the fight, and the target is at 25 vuln they entire time due to GS 1 spam, mesmer, and On My Mark. Necros can’t keep might up, and would loose any perma fury they have instantly if the went into death shroud to blast, or lich form. They doo have plenty of vulnerability tho between focus and wells^^

I’ve taken, and gone as my Necro to CoF farms plenty of times, its really fun, jus warriors have alot more group beneficial stuff that works really well for everyone

Someone mentioned this earlier, buuht I <3 using fleshgolems charge on anything aginst a wall or structure~ Its hillarious the amount of damage it does ^ O ^)/!

I really dislike that Skull Fear is 3x as long as any of our fears.
i.e. Doom and Reaper’s Mark if you have staff.
4x longer if they have condition duration.
to which i go .(_ _ ).

Its really annoying in a fight if I’m not carrying the Stability trait, an my stunbreak is on cool down >~<. (And it often will be if you use it for swiftness, or they Basilisk Venomed you before mugging you)

3s is a long time for them to run behind you and backstab + 11111111111111111111

There are some really good tips in this thread tho, ty for sharing^^. I’ve been meaning to practice 1v1’s with an experienced theif friend in sPvP to get better at countering them for wuv wuv, message me if you ever want to~

Pendragon.8735:

If anything this disruptive slipped into sPVP, Anet would pull the servers down immediately for an emergency patch once it came to their attention. WvW is always on the backburner, it takes months to fix the most obvious and simplest issues.

Its broken for PvE too, just the PvE people don’t catch on to stuff like this, this quick apparently :>

I’m not sure why they thought an item with a Stun and NO cooldown, was a good idea. They’re OP in PvE too, get a group of 5 ppl an you can kill any boss easy as they rip right thru anythign with less then 5-10 stacks of defiant

Can you edit the title? I like consumables in WvW, they’re fun, especially quaggan tonics. Really only need to remove Gears, Skale Venom, an Planks. (Couple other items with silly effects that arn’t as popular I don’t care to look up atm>~<).

tl;dr Anet remove gears, these are horribly designed and un-fun.; ;.

If anyone wants to run Catacombs on NA servers, let me kno^^. I got tired of soloing it back before guesting sense it takes a while an no one else ever does it ; ;.~ (Or any other DE you might suspect)~

I think i’ve killed the grub maybe two times in the entirety that i’ve played, and those were really silly days in wuv wuv O _ O. Pretty sure he only drops badges an siege tho^^

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

I don’t have an ETA for when the fix will go live, but we do have one in the works that’s running through testing right now. As mentioned earlier in the thread, if you have purchased a makeover kit and been hit by this bug, please open a ticket with support and they will work with you to refund your gems. Thanks for your patience!

TY * – *

TMK, getting fixed, yay!

And what about all of us who now have broken characters we can’t fix?
Edit: Looks like GM’s are taking care of that, n/m~

Majik.8521:

IMO reveal debuff should be applied every time a thief comes out of stealth, not only when he damages from stealth.

Problem solved

CnD an Smoke Field Combos can stay the same. This is the only thing that needs to be done^^

https://www.guildwars2.com/en/the-game/releases/february-2013/

Going off of this looks like there isn’t a WvW update, at all^^;.wwwww

That’s intended, and how the fight works^^. Simin will often stealth around the 45% and 5% marks, regardless of time, you jus have to be quick on sparks repeatedly and great dps~

FA from Primordial Dragons[Drgn] was downed in inner of our west keep in BL then Mistformed underground and kept hiding down there ;3.

I’m not sure if this helps, but you can create a shortcut with your login information that completly bypasses the patcher~
You right click on your Gw2.exe, Create Short Cut.
Then on your new shortcut, you right click, select properties, and edit the Target to read as follows:

“C:\Program Files (x86)\Guild Wars 2\Gw2.exe” -email youremailhere -password yourpasswordhere -nopatchui

IT might read differently if you have a different operating system or version of windows^^ This bypasses the patcher and login, and goes straight to character selection, it will not work if the game updates tho. In which case you’d have to go back to normal startup to let it patch~

Softspoken.2410:

It’s definitely a confusingly worded mechanic, but people are telling it to you straight. A lot of numbers regarding Life Force are percentage based, so the % booster from Soul Reaping mostly applies to the amount of outside damage you can block with Life Force.

Basically, points in Soul Reaping let you take more damage while in Death Shroud, but they don’t make your Death Shroud take longer to fill up or drain by the base degeneration.

You’re saying all that adding +30% Life Force Pool does is add 30% of my base hp to my death shroud hp? T.T I don’t want 30% hp increase, I want more lifeforce, that’s terrible >~<.

I’ll try and find someone to stabbity me in sPvP to see if my hp in deathshroud is different with or without 30 points in soul reaping =/

Spectral grasp gives 10% life force. After using it with 30 points in Soul Reaping, I have 11%. 10% from the Grasp, and an extra 1% from the Gluttony trait.

If it was actually out of 130%, but “It will still say 100%”, it would be 8.4%. Cause 11/130 is 8.4.

Clearly something is wrong with it, cause there is no actual gain from the “+30%”. =/

And haay braaaaaaaaaaah, I have no bubble to burst ;3 Jus trying to debugggg nerrco +30%~~ TY for the Bug compilation link^^

Vodka.3958:

Very unprofessional of Anet to fall back on their publicly announced decision

Very wise of them to listen to the Majority of their community<3. TY Anet for not reseting ratings^^

Tyrados.1435:

DB fly hacker at Cragtop, FA BL. Screen shot attached. This is him fleeing the scene. Also, lolflying.

They’re Ninjaing Mag towers atm in Eternal T.T.

Needs more BiP! Turn thos 130’s into 150’s ;3.
Nice vidi’s~^^

MrLT.6028:

Magzergma living up to their name…sending 30 people to take a supply camp. Great job, you rolled three people defending.

If you stay up long enough your 3 can zerg maguuma.

loool, this this this~

I made this post in the Game Bugs forum:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Death-Shroud-LifeForcePool-Capped-100/

I tried to point out all the bugs I know about, so please check it for me to make sure i’m correct and didn’t miss anything. Also please support the thread so it gets noticed, these bugs are a really, really big issue with the latest patch(?) and I want to make sure they get fixed >~<.

I am Death!<3

I did some extra testing to make sure Life Force gains were working properly from near by deaths, and then again to make sure the Gluttony trait from the Soul Reaping tree was also working. They’re both fine^^

Other Bugs:

Spinal Shivers, the focus Weapon Skill has an incorrect description in case no one saw~
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Spinal-Shivers-description-incorrect-28th/

Leaving Death Shroud in combat causes a 1-2 second delay on Heal, Utility, and Elite skills.
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Leaving-DS-Healing-Utilities-Elite-Gone

Hii,

I decided to test the Death Shroud Life Force Pool sense I didn’t believe it was working properly. With 0 points invested in Soul Reaping it will display 100% when full. With 30 points invested in Soul Reaping, it will display 100% when full.
(It should display 130% to reflect the increased Life Froce from Soul Reaping tree)

To make sure this wasn’t just a graphics problem I decided to test it by getting full life force then using a timer to see how long it takes to deplete^^.

With 0 Points in Soul Reaping:
Death Shroud takes ~25 seconds to deplete without taking damage.

With 30 points in Soul Reaping:
Death Shroud takes ~25 seconds to deplete without taking damage.
***I made sure to gain well over 100% life force just in case it wasn’t displaying it

Points in Soul Reaping only give you 1%Critical Damage per point and do not benefit Death Shroud’s Life Force Pool at all.
————————————————————————————————

I’m not very good at recording video or using YouTube so I can’t show a video of the timing, but please feel free to double check my work or correct me if I’m mistaken^^. The attached screenshots show 30 points Soul Reaping, while life force remains at 100%~

nerva.7940:

whats the point of this build? wouldnt a power necro with knight’s gear do way more dps and still have decent survivability?

Vitality > Toughness for necro, as it effects your lifeforce pool^^. An this build is amazingly fun if you like beeing tanky, and beeing able to lead charges/groups into zergs in WvW and not get insta downed ;3. Also you can beat anyone 1v1 with this build in lich form as you get a free 64% chance to crit and with 3800 power your lichform 1 hits for 5k+ ~

Also Sheobix I love your builds * o *

This thread made me laugh alot<3 Its really tru tho >~<. I have better mobility and condition removal(. . .) on my warrior then my necro. Wars have easy perma swift like necro with a warhorn, buuht 2 rush’s/movment skills on GS, 1 on sword, 1 on hammer, 1 on Axe, and they also have alot more Stability/invuln/block options ; ;.

Think the only good way to roam as a necro is to know when to start running before you get attacked/zerged or fight to the death~ (Or jus roam with a thief/mes friend ;3)

I would love an ETA on a fix for this, when you have one >~<.

There was a dev post about it beeing a glitch and that they would extend the DE timer a bit longer so they overlapped and it was never contested. It should have been in this patch, buuht they either forgot or decided against it^^. I don’t have a link to the dev post atm >~<

Spinal Shivers, the necro focus/trait ability’s description got incorrectly changed in the last patch. The notes say nothing about it being changed other then a bug with the timer and the direction you were facing.

Old >correct< description:

“Chill your foe and remove three boons. "

New >incorrect< description

“Inflict chill and vulnerability on your foe.”
————————————————————————-

Its still working properly, I tested it on some dredge and it removed boons and then again on a random doe jus to make sure it didn’t inflict vulnerability^^.

You can get more healing out of an Omnomberry Pie then any necro healing trait(vampiric)/build^^.

Jason King.2647:

Thank you for the reports, everyone; the designers are working on a fix for this issue. In the meantime, if you’re planning on buying the laurel box, we’d recommend that you wait for now. Sorry for the bug!

Thank you for responding^^

Mine are, all my utilities take a second to show up after coming out of DS, they didn’t use to do this. TY for the link Gnome~

Do I have to make a separate account jus to file a support ticket? ; ;
My character is perma bugged now with no glow, a gem refund wont fix this . _ .

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Total-Make-over-Kit/first#post1335398

Here is An-Other thread with the same issue, with more Dev response~
Still no ETA on it ever beeing fixed . _ .;

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/No-Glow-for-Sylvari-using-makeover-kit/first#post1335835

Jus so aall you kno, there is a dev response about it, tho they’re not exactly right.

Jeffrey Vaughn.1793:

The bug appears to be isolated to female sylvari with 0 glow at creation. We’re working on the bug now, but I don’t have an ETA for a fix right now, sorry.

Its not, I’m 100% glow and my glow jus went away after I used a kit. only changed its colour =/

They’re too round… Whoever runs the plastic surgery gambit in GW2 must be a richer than the Charr that owns the Trading Post.

Humans in general look bad, especially when 90% of them wear that same ugly top. . _ .; Human T2 and T3 heavy looks like very dashing armor tho, wish I could wear it^^
