Guild Wars 2

Seems like a typical warrior. Basically add together all the stats of the other 7 classes multiply by 10 and there is the base stats of warrior.

You know what’s cool, all classes have exactly the same base stats and access to exactly the same gear.

Not hp, iirc

:P

Agreed! This game gives me hours and hours, days and days, of entertainment.

I was really broken up about the whole, telling his wife thing. As an Asura main, it made a lot of the Asura culture very up front and interesting.

I did cry, yeah.

In Jade Maw, when you throw the charged crystals at Cthulhu, is the damage you do based on gear, or is it the same no matter what?

Example: does a soldier guard do as much damage to the Jade Maw (not the tentacles or the mobs) with the crystals as a full zerk guard?

Thank yoooou.

Soldier has primary stat power, so basically soldier hits as hard as a zerk against anything that can’t be crit.

I understand that, but that wasn’t really my question. I was simply wondering if the crystals dealt a static amount of damage to the Jade Maw.

Basically, I played for a year + and then my Legend dropped. Next day I finished, because i had friends who donated mats. If I hadn’t spent that year playing the game, I might not have had the gift of mastery done, and it would have taken more playing of the game to finish, because you can’t buy map completion or skill points or obsidian shards.

Moral of the story: I didn’t grind

I wouldn’t say the effort is the same. TP barons can make 2k gold with very little effort. To make the legendary takes a bit of mastery in all parts of the game, aside from pvp. You actually have to play, ya know.

Well, I’m happy with the differences in t3 cultural. Also I love TA and Arah gear on my female Asura. I think it just depends on the gear set, I just know how disappointed I was when leveling with my husband that both our gear sets always looked identical.

As for female Asura models, I agree, and so does everyone. But we can make it work, see below

I disagree :p . Actually I find the “male” clothes on my female Asura pretty cute.^^

Edit: Sry for rather offtopic.

Okay okay I’ll edit my comment “several Players who have female Asura agree” obviously not all ;P

There are a few topics on it in the Asura forum, usually folks want different models, but you’re right, not always.

Yeah, a lot of the armor has excellent textures. There is a lot of attention to detail, without it being flashy flashy. I think they reserve flashiness to the weapon skins, which works, obviously!

There are excellent combos for all races and armor types, except for maybe Charr, I know a lot of Charr players who are disappointed in clipping and other such things. But there are always ways, I’m sure!

Very soon, actually, the axe should be released, since the other 2 tools were released in such quick succession.

I think they’d be more viable if they worked more like engi kits…. But that is just my opinion. I personally like a lot of the conjures. As with all utilities, they are situational. That’s why I love eles so much. Every encounter, I have a different utility set up.

Beautiful. Had an amazing Coe run yesterday. I swear it only took 20 minutes, which may not be amazing to the people here, but was a personal best!

I’d say, join a wvw guild temporarily and try to small team capture those poi’s. Usually a good guild will be willing to help.

Broadicea.8294:

No class forums are worth reading for PvE purposes. Just come here, we’re the best players in GW2.

I like this forum. Sometimes responses make me sad, but I’m a sensitive care bear.

Then I just go to the Asura forum and smile.

Good to hear. I love my ele, and no patch has ever broken it, for me anyway. Hated a couple changes, but darn I like Fresh air! (I’m sure that isn’t the best meta anymore, but I like it). Also surprised about the fire great sword not being nerfed. Very very nice!

I was wondering if the dungeon forum gods would answer this:

I read the patch notes, and saw nothing really spectacularly terrible for the elementalist. However, the elementalist forum and the discussion forum is just imploding with how ele is forever destroyed and blah blah….

All I really want to know is, from the dungeon forum gods, are you fine with the ele changes and will you still allow eles in your elite runs? Guess all I care about is whether or not I’ll be kicked from pugs because everyone thinks eles are done. Lol

Thanks!

If you want heals, then can’t you just drop a water field and then use the final attack of the lightning hammer chain to blast it for a burst heal?

Unless I’m using staff I won’t have a water field to drop (though teammates could drop one of course). But that’s not so much my point, the point is that specializing in team support and healing via traits and gear isn’t really rewarded.

Staff is apparently meant to have DPS on par with lightning hammer, so…

Not in water attunement

Tbh if hitting enemies with water hurt them more than fire, I’d be a little concerned.

My problem with this game is What if they are MADE of fire?

Checkmate.

Why can I burn a fire ele?

Mmmmmm….

IMO heritage. Just told you this in game, but meh. Hehe.

I used cleansing fire all the time when it was a stun breaker…. But no, I don’t think I’d use it again unless it got its stun break back…
Though I do not find it at all surprising that the ele skill < e guardian skill. Look at our new line of warding. Lol

While I agree they are super profitable, I’m still trying to wrap my head around the end dungeon gold differences. I don’t really care at the end of the day, though I’d like to see the logic behind the allotments.

Honestly, I think it’s a mix of difficulty and what Anet wants you to run.

Why is AC 1.5g and COE 1g? Because they wanted to give incentives for people to run their awesome new AC design. That way when it comes time for a raise, the “dungeon team” (heavy quotes intended) can say “Look! People run AC even more, yay us”

That makes sense I guess. Also sorry about not responding much earlier! Was having an excellent Coe run and didn’t want to be the only one to die because I was chit chatting.

Run moar dungeons!

I don’t know, honestly. I like to glitch the dance book and chase people around LA when I’m all out of dungeons.

Absolutely! It is one of the best medium armory for Asura, IMO

Also, hi! o"/"

That’s a fair point. I try to be optimistic, though, that there is some unknown reasoning.

Stop being nice to each other and agreeing.

Where’d Floryn go?

PVT = new meta. Silly zerks, go home BHBs.

Hehehe. Let’s dungeon again mmmmk?

Hammerheart.1426:

In all honesty, if they were to give us a new weapon, it’d either be the sword or the greatsword.

Why greatsword when we have an elite conjure? Where’s your logic?

Runes of divinity and other high priced runes didn’t get special treatment, so I guess, why would traveler runes?

They’re only priced high because they can’t be crafted, whats the purpose in having them unable to be crafted?

My point wasn’t that they shouldn’t be able to be crafted, but that anet doesn’t seem to care if they get high priced or not, based on the prices of other uncraftable runes.

I was lucky and had 6 of these from my magic find armor set. Way back when, I think they were less than a gold. Honestly, if anet was going to release recipes for existing runes, I feel like they would have done so already… Runes of divinity and other high priced runes didn’t get special treatment, so I guess, why would traveler runes?

Ele should be able to wield 2 greatswords.

. . .

+1

Hehehe

Wow. Cooooo coooooo

I try to make uses for staff, I made the bifrost because I like rainbows. Generally in dungeons I struggle to find reasons to use it instead of scepter or dagger….

Haha. I can’t remember anything that encourages the use of cleric gear. I feel like its anet’s stepchild gear or something.

I like staff water in certain situations, but usually another attunement can do the job better, unless you’re at grawl and he pops his bubble. Then frozen ground is nice.

I find it’s easier to quickly stack might/fury w/ scepter/dagger, though I thousand times prefer straight D/D playstyle. I’d rather lightning hammer it up than play staff. Just don’t enjoy pewpewing from the back.

I got a sad chuckle over the supposed improvement to heal scaling on water 1 for staff (next patch), incidentally.

EDIT:

Tbh if hitting enemies with water hurt them more than fire, I’d be a little concerned.

Yes, but how massive would the healing have to be to be able to justify sitting there in water attunement autoattacking? If I’m spamming a staff auto that’s not for damage, I’d just spam earth for weakness, which prevents more damage than water will ever heal.

I agree, i wasnt saying that it was useful, I was just pointing out that I get the logic behind the water attunement staff auto-attack being so low damage.

I’m excited for the change to unsteady ground. I can see myself using it at the beginning of the Grawl fractal to knock the vets back. I like things that make my poor ele more useful.

Scepter/dagger is by far my favorite. I like how versatile it is in dungeons… but I’m no pro so… yeah.

Not to mention the upcoming buffs to staff and conjured weapons…. Or at least that’s the rumor. I like staff, but I agree that with scepter and dagger main hand the best combos to make are fire field combos, and there’s very little to do with water/healing.

I would honestly prefer a bow. I think it could be epically done. Plus then I’d have a reason to make the Dreamer or Kudzu

Edit

Also, we have a greatsword that has melee and range options, I sort of like the hybrid.

I also really love the Asura Magitech look

I also like quip and moot, I just don’t see many of them around.

In Jade Maw, when you throw the charged crystals at Cthulhu, is the damage you do based on gear, or is it the same no matter what?

Example: does a soldier guard do as much damage to the Jade Maw (not the tentacles or the mobs) with the crystals as a full zerk guard?

Thank yoooou.

I only know that the 4 holo risen knights will grant you a random mini. I do not know if it is pack specific. You don’t get a risen knight back, though.

I don’t have any help for you. However, I just wanted to note that your Asura looks absolutely amazing. I personally love the color combo you have.

The weaker attack, sure, but with a quarter hp in zerks it can hurt.

My mistake!

Hahaha

Aberrant.6749:

Not many people want to really spend like 1.5-2k gold on a joke >.>

Well, the Pony bow is sort of a joke legendary too. A lot of people like the joke. Maybe quip and the moot are bad jokes.

Third!!!!

So often does this happen……

I don’t know about the greatswords, but my bifrost footprints are definitely the same size as a humans, or Norns. So I’m sure it is the same for the greatswords.

Seems this thread derailed fairly quick.

Anyway, I’d like extra loot for not wiping too! +1

When I was leveling my guardian, I basically went on hour long moa killing sprees in Queensdale. Was fun, but I killed them the second they spawned. Guess I should have waited hahaha.

I stand corrected.
