Guild Wars 2

Seriously, this seems like an oversight. Why is Rabid the ONLY stat set that can’t be found on craftable gear???

Seriously, the reward for beating the elder dragon is 5 low level blues that are so worthless you just have to vendor them?

Something is wrong.

The rewards for dungeons are the tokens. It’s basically just for prestige gear.

Explorable dungeons are actually incredibly easy if you’re willing to learn. The first time I did Kholer in AC explorable, I thought he was impossible. Now I’m farming the dungeon, and I never get hit even once during that fight.

Right now, to get exp, gold, and loot from an enemy, you have to do a certain amount of damage to it to “tag” it. Even if you’ve hit it, if you haven’t done enough damage it won’t count as tagged. This damage seems to be a percentage of the enemy’s HP.

That means that no everyone can get credit for a mob kill. You have to fight over exp and loot by seeing who can do damage the fastest. If you try to use supportive skills, then you will be rewarded with 0 exp, gold, or loot. This encourages everyone to go full damage build and spam AoEs.

It also means that some professions have a MUCH easier time getting loot and gold. Elementalists can just stand back and spam huge AoEs to tag all the mobs, whereas Mesmer, the class with the worse AoE in the game, will struggle to get 50% of the. They’ll have to run into groups and risk dying to try to shatter with illusionary persona, because that’s their only reliable AoE damage. Mobs die so quickly that Chaos Storm won’t do enough damage to tag in Orr.

Tagging changes DEs from a cooperative experience into a competitive experience. Everyone is fighting to do damage to mobs before the others kill it. It’s back to the same old MMO style, where you cringe whenever an Elementalist joins the DE because you know it will be harder to get loot and money now.

I sold two items for 5 gold 45 silver, and I only got 3 gold 37 silver trade profit. That’s way more than 10%. Seems like the trading post is bugging out.

Happened to me too. Tried to buy several times, it took my gold, but didn’t give me the item. Lost 3 gold, which was all my money.
