Guild Wars 2

The Ogden’s Hammer guy is actually in the Priory, last I heard.

I hope I can sell my 562 Queen’s Gauntlet Tickets from my farming spree back in August.

I honestly couldn’t care less about the human children, charr cubs and norn kids. But I just adore asura progeny, and learning that the raisin face kid is missing makes me kinda sad.

Welp, more reason to NOT skip the AC troll now when he spawns, for the sake of practice on the spot.

Now RPers can make Kasmeer lookalikes.

Let the ERP begin. :>

I have 3 asura characters (ele, necro and warrior), all of which use the exact same body design. This is my ele, you can expect my necro to look exactly the same right down to armor and dye choice.

It took me 7 months to complete my Sunrise, 5 of which were spent being relatively unfruitful. My big break came in august when the Crown Pavilion came out, and within a week I had farmed about 400g. I then saved my way to buy ordering Dawn at 571g, and I consider myself quite lucky to have the order filled in the same day, as the lowest seller was selling at 620+g. In the few weeks that followed, I spent some additional cash to directly buy my T6 from the TP. My friends donated all the mats they had to further push me to Sunrise, and so I got it.

The end.

I got a shortbow from 14. Zaxares can verify this.

Thanks for the info guys, now I can stop wasting dodges trying to find out.

Is Mai’s shadowstep shot dodgeable? If so, when should I dodge?

In the past, I probably would not bother since I was mostly in it for the rewards. But now? I guess I would do them to hone my skill. As it is I don’t really do many dungeons anymore save for Arah and the occasional low level pug fractal.

The size of the red circle under a target indicates how big their hitbox is.

The hammer build is sweet, if a little boring since you do nothing but just spam 1 and occasionally press 2 to do damage. But it’s great!

Just got a fractal shortbow from level 14

Think this is more of a L2P issue than it is with the mobs hitting hard.

I found 3 shards just from killing all the dredge from the car in 49.

The stuff I’m reading on reddit, sigh

timezones are no excuse, i’ve stayed up till 6am doing dungeons :p

You don’t have Asian parents like I do :<

Don’t worry, I fully support your rainbow chainmail.

Uh oh… I’m 12 hours ahead… <_<

Brother, I’ve had to go through the leveling process seven times. What keeps me motivated and inspired is to be able to play the profession at its fullest, and the leveling process allows me ample time to get a good feel for the class. :)

What’s yer timezone? I’m SEA, you know…

Dub’s screenshots give it away.

Marjory and Kasmeer, if you know what I mean. :>

AnnieGYG.6842:

Level 29 pug fractal just nearly broke me – just one of many highlights after a warrior camped LB 100% of the time.

I got a staff guardian, shortbow thief and greatsword mesmer all in the same run… it was lv 49. Q_Q

Yay :D

T3 headgear should be placed on forehead rather then on head. This way it could still show choosed hair (like mask type headgear). Why it isn’t like that

You don’t think it would look strange with various hairstyles? I honestly can’t imagine having hair underneath it and still looking good. :/ maybe it’s just me though?

It’s not just you, there’s me too.

deSade.9437:

I want more dragons…

…you want feeling of Felankor?

The last time I wrote I needed a high level fractals mentor nobody answered me.
So I’m gonna write it again! I need someone to teach me the finer tactics in fractals so I can stop being a miserable failure in pugs and start carrying!

crickets

Okay, maybe not the carrying part…

I’d rather keep the helm as it is.

I wish I had my screen of both of us sitting together that day. We match <3

:3

I’d rather keep the helm as it is.

Alphard’s pull does in fact have a tell – very fast, but still avoidable. That being said, if your reflexes are bad (like mine), you probably will miss it, and it doesn’t help things that she can be difficult to see at times.

Except I ran out of MF rings to convert to zerkers ;-;

Lilith Ajit.6173:

Lol…. Pristines? For what?

I don’t do fractals much anymore, and I have 2 more 80s that need berserker rings. :/

I need those pristines very badly ;-;

Pugged 49 and just got out after like 3 hours inside, Swamp → Cliffside → DREDGE → Jade Maw. Thief camped shortbow because he had no sword/pistol, and seemed to think spamming stealth on us was a good idea to keep mobs blinded, “because my trait blinds mobs when i stealth”. Guardian camped staff (what more to say?) and mesmer camped greatsword at POINT BLANK RANGE.

Never again. Q_Q

Got a second Lovestruck Anlace (and with it another ascended dagger), and hiding the backpiece for this screenie!

Dungeonception O_O

PvE or WvW?

In high level fractals, that 170 toughness won’t do anything to help when a person in PVT gear with nearly double the armor rating gets two shot (if not one) with very little health left after the first hit.

Correct, but you are also forgetting that HB and the axe chain both take a good 3.5 seconds to fully execute. Thief rotations only include one auto chain (which itself takes about 1 second to complete while still doing respectable damage) between CnD and Backstabs, and when your target goes below 25% health you start spamming Heartseeker instead because it does nearly the same damage as a backstab at this point and as I said, spammable.

I currently don’t have access to my computer (typing this from an iPad) so I can’t conduct any testing to provide proof right now.

Addendum: While the 1 second auto chain seems too fast for Revealed to wear off, you need to account for the after-use delay of a Backstab and the auto chain’s last hit, along with the use time of Cloak and Dagger. These factors ensure that your CnD will hit just a split second after Revealed wears off, unless you are under the effects of Quickness, which borks your rotation.

EDIT: This is within a group setting, if it’s solo style a warrior will win due to his crazy self buffing power that a thief lacks.

You’re talking about just one rotation, friend. Against bosses like the golem in CoE, or the Arah P2 Abomination which are both damage sponges, you will be pulling off substantially more rotations. Also, in group settings where you have access to warrior banners (usually) and other buffs that gap will further widen.

Play.
How.
You.
Want.

“Elitists” actually follow this mantra better than those who chant it. :>

If I wanted a trinity game I would have joined my sister in FFXIV.

But I didn’t.

Wait, it took you over a month to come up with an argument to defend your leecher support build?

Xeres.3724:

I thought I’d post this just because maybe the devs will listen. There’s a lot to like about GW2. And I feel that trying the idea of no tank / healer / dps specific roles was worth a try. But, I’ve concluded it doesn’t work – at least the way it’s implemented here.

The problem now is on these larger bosses, without the traditional MMO roles, the gameplay is even more limiting than with the tank / healer / dps roles. Ultimately what ends up happening on just about all of these larger boss fights is the same thing – ranged DPS and a lot of kiting. Melee DPS is punished more severely in this game than any other I’ve played – and I’ve played an awful lot. Yeah, melee does a lot of DPS for the very limited time that melee DPS is actually alive.

But the problem isn’t the removal of roles though. The problem is the rest of the game is created as if those roles were in place. The first time I played GW2 I was ok with what AN tried to do. But I left and returned and the limitations of this game were more pronounced. Of course, all this is my opinion.

So my suggestion for whenever, a patch, GW3, I don’t know. You cannot simplify the roles, talents and abilities at the same time. Jack of all trades doesn’t work when the game forces you to try and be a master of one – ranged DPS.

Gotta love Spiderman.
