couldnt e be evon gnashblade of bltc. serious he has stock in what happens in la and anything happening with the consortium should he take an interest in. so im thinking the myterious e is evon

except;
-what does minister pointy beard have to do with consortium
-what did the lighting ceremony have to do with the consortium
-he was in LA
-marjory wouldve probably taken note if the hand that grabbed her had been furry and clawed

shimmerless.4560:

Eles have always been able to give out consistent group Fury.

but (if they arent fake) this would give the player an option to go 30 into fire to give out fury; as opposed to 10 in air and 30 in water

I got one from a harpy in fractals

much less impressive sounding xD

It was good for a while. But then they nerfed the damage and no one used it after that.

i meant;
‘im gonna toment this enemy’
‘im going to… weaken the knees of this enemy’

yes; vigor on crit alone will outweigh the survivability you gain from soldier

… also; youd be best stating what area of the game this is for; as accurate answers will vary depending on that variable

i dont believe so; though ret procs on each hit
… if it does then afaik its a bug in the coding of certain skills (as the leaked -possible fake- patch notes indicate); like tornado (confuse a tornado and they go poop in seconds)

lvling to 80 can be done quickly (although expensively) through levelling in a day
map completion; depends on how dedicated you are to it; ive been playing (wayy to much) since headstart and my highest char is 60%; could probably knock out a zone a day pretty easily though (maybe two for the bigger zones – lornars pass); more if you’re a bit more hardcore

mesmer scepter needed it.

though i think it could be nice if worked into a guard weapon or trait (maybe the torch?)

… or faren and E stand for something ridiculous that he used for his alias; like enigmatic

I don’t think Faren can be so enigmatic, and he certainly isn’t the kind of guy that would hide his identity. He likes to boast about what he did (and about what his best buddy did, too). Faren is a really nice guy and a wonderful friend, but that’s just not his style.

i wouldnt have thought so either; but i think hed be someone who would describe themselves as it if he acted the least bit sneaky
… hence my fail of a joke

mesmers can change their voice right?… theres that risen mesmer quest; so i assume they can
… DR is home to a lot of powerful mesmers (anise/jennah); so i wouldnt rule those out as both know about the ministry

Challenge: Shaman FOTM 48. No guardians.

Who’s up for it?

where is the challenge? we did it with 3 ele (1 D/D + 2 D/F) 1 mesmer (S/F) cause we didn’t find a last one.
This fractal is not as difficult as many people think… actually it’s really easy if you know what your profession can do and if you have 100% reflect uptime

dont even need reflection (/deflection); smoke bomb/well of darkness serve nearly as well for blotting out groups of elem dps
- though im only frac29; not sure how much harder it gets;

Yeah it’s possible: the problem is, there are more ele at higher levels and your AoE has a cap of 5 targets. If you get hit from only 1 ele and have no condition remove or some other options to get out of the way you can be dead in no time b/c the agony hits very hard and the meteors are not very friendly as well.
Its even more difficult to down the shamans shield, while taking care of the ele with blinding.

hadnt even considered the aoe cap
my noob is showing

DigitalKirin.9714:

Interesting, Outlaw = Ascalon? Would Inquest = golems for uncategorized?

^ this would be useful to know too; enemies should have tags indicating what they are classified as "/

Player Character.9467:

Something that used to be fairly popular but I seem to be one of the few people I still see using them, Ash Legion Spy Kits for easy button pushing in dredge. They were nerfed, but this is still a 10s stealth for any class.

i used to love them before they got nerfed; havent used them since; i suppose i should get a couple for each char though

outlaw/dredge/svanir/elemental slaying potions

ty for concise and fast reply

endurance food for volcanic’s final boss, the new dragon’s breath bun for dredge clown car/imbued shaman if your class has easy access to vigor/endurance regen.

endurance food = http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Bowl_of_Orrian_Truffle_and_Meat_Stew ?
all three of my current classes have vigor on crit and 45-55% (raw) crit rates; so if i dont need vigor; and dont have a lot of mobs to boost dragon bun off (like uncatagorised); what would you suggest?

so elemental potion>grawl potion at shaman? (now that i type that out it seems a bit stupid to ask… so… feel free to ignore)

i agree… i think its more because arrogant asura are also arrogant to other asura… kodan are like a collective arrogance

hi; im a fractal… well… not a newb… but not… good
im looking for a shopping list of consumables; was wondering what people found useful? potions/those other wrench ones mainly (which to use; and where); though advice on the food icon ones would be useful too

I’d be more impressed with a fotm 48 dredge fractal with the bomb room with no Guardians, no Shadow Refuge and no down states. Mesmers can easily handle the Shaman but the bomb room is a very different challenge altogether.

- shard of mist essence
- master salvage kit
- journeyman salavge kit
- fine salvage kit
= Mistical salvage kit (or… something a little less easily confusable with mystic salvage kits…)

usable on ascended gear only
5 uses
ascended salvages drop a core (either completely random; or determined by the items prefix) with a chance at a lodestone (similar to the chance to get 3 ecto from a rare compared to 0+1+2 ecto/s)

solves two problems
-uselessness of mist components after a while
-too many rings
(and; if you consider lodestone prices to be a problem; deflation in them… drop rates could be balanced around the TP prices; so the -currently- more expensive lodestones/cores drop more often)

Personally my answer would be no. The main reason is that in my personal opinion the rewards for doing fractals compared with how difficult it is isnt right and there is allready too much attention to fractals due to the rewards there compared with other aspects of the game.

I would say to make these craftable with
- master salvage kit
- journeyman salavge kit
- black lion salvage kit
- any kind of lodestone

25 usages
can be used for salvaging ascended, exotic and legendary gear (not that the last will happen often, but if you want to salvage yours then go ahead). all level 75 or above

Besides acting as a BL-kit it also has a change of 1/10 to salvage a core. Besides that it has a change of 1/25 to salvage into a lodestone. Last off all when used on ascended items it has a change of 1/25 of dropping a shard of crystallized mists essence.

Besides getting it out of the FOTM-setting so it makes all of the game more interesting, you still get a bonus for FOTM-setting. I hitted a problem though cause it would cause a drop of sales of BL-kits, something Anet will never do, so i made them better BL-kits with a BL-kit needed for the recipte.

Last of all,
In my proposal I would change the name to either Mystical Black Lion Salvage kit or even better ’Gnashblade’s Salvage kit’ (named after the leader of the black lion trading company).

i like that it would help normalise lodestone prices (because obviously people would use the cheapest; causing higher demand and higher price), and considered black lion salvage kit in the recipe but it seemed… weird (though the recipe i proposed does seem a kitteneap)
… but something really needs to be done about mist components; they become useless after a while

Except that if we all go by that patch note the ele will give out group fury like there’s no tomorrow in addition of the might stacking just from hammer chain.

its written ambiguously…
but i read the patch notes as; blast finishers in fire fields grant fury
… though even that would leave doubt as to whether it applid to:
- your blast finishers in your fire fields
- your blast finishers in other players fire fields
- other players blast finishers in your fire fields

Up until now whoever was the origin of said field never mattered in this game so unless they dramatically changed field mechanics the only reasonable way to interpret this is that it would grant fury on any fire field blasted by the elementalist himself.

For the record, when a water field is cast, it’s the healing power stats of whoever blasts said water field that will determine the amount of healing, for example. Or the boon duration of whoever blasts a fire field as to how long the might stack will last. Etc.

What actually happens when you blast a field depends solely on WHO blasted it, not who cast the field.

blast finisher owner is what i assumed too; as (afaik) its what happens with ice+blast and aurafury

Weakness is good in the Dredge fractal because you can’t blind them!

Hardly. They do insane damage either way.

but they never seem to crit so it’s basically a flat -50% damage.

Weakness duration has been universally nerfed across all professions. Now stacks intensity instead of duration. I’d imagine that this condi will find a new home with confusion/retaliation.

I can’t even keep a straight face; weakness was already useless in pve.

technically; weakness is now a 12.5% damage reduction by inlficted mob
… that seems like it could now be useful in pve… though only in certain areas (most of the time its about not getting hit)…

… im curious as to how it stacks intensity though… does 4 stacks mean 100% chance at glancing blow (50% damage)?

i can almost understand the into the void nerf for pvp…
but its a massive nerf in dungeons (where instantly pulling foes into a wall/back into your warden/ally aoes is massive) and wvw (where only idiots get pulled off walls; because they stand up on the ridge; now they will see the effect as well as hearing it; both of whcih are very obvious)

You know it’s bad when you explain to them how to do it, and they ignore you or tell you to kitten off, and continue for the entirety of the run doing the same thing. That’s usually not persevering at that point.

no; most of them seemed to listen (atleast; they reacted), they just didnt seem to get it

also; i really hate rage quitting a dungeon once we’re inside, ive only done it three times
- once because 3 guild (not my guild) members kicked a non guild member halfway through a run to invite another guild member… i didnt feel so bad about that
- once in fractals (low level; was progressing my guard) and the whole team went and pulled all the ice elementals… which wasnt a big deal; id just had a really horrible day and though ‘kitten it’… it sounds stupid but that haunts me whenever i play my guard
- once in coe; the team did listen (because they talked)… but just didnt act on what i was telling them (one pulled the risen abomb; so we ran up to top – where you only have to fight the wraith; i was capsing all over chat at the mesmer to stop backpedalling else theyd pull alpha… but they still did… they all wiped (one died on stairs from abomb or zerkers or something… idk) so i ran off and reset fight (on my warr that timecant really deal with crystals solo)… then someone else repulled abomb… ran to top… mesmer pulled alpha again… this was my third character to run through coe that day, i just said ‘sry, patience run out’ and left… i then had two of the team member whisper me apologising; the mesmer even empathised with how stressful it can be telling newbies how to play… which made me feel very bad… then i remembered i also opened the instance… so… worse… still not as bad as the guard rq though… that wasnt justified at all

hmm… i keep buying mine in 5g/10g(150-400 coffer) batches; but im not sure how many batches ive actually bought; quite a few… i kept telling myself id stop if i got a ticked… but i got one early… and then i just wanted moar (i got a second ticket recently; but i want 4or 5 of the skins now)

i actually like this rng; the… sample size? you can obtain is massive; which makes it more fun imo

lol; i used to pug farm coe alot; if i noticed he was targetting me on either my mesmer or ele (who both could easily survive solo if crystallised; and if the team werent… good) id pull off so the rest of the team could full on dps and ignore dodges (although if you run with all warrs WWing into a wall; it wouldnt matter; you clearly dont play very pug friendly)

Why in the nine hell would you kitten your own dps because people can’t dodge ? if they can’t dodge don’t group with them.

You call that “farming”..

because often if i hadent done that the team wouldve wiped and it would just be me (or often me and another; i often had to solo/duo/trio alpha the last 50% health or so of fights)
- and my ele was d/d… which can play as a mid range fighter (get in after he does aoe with burning speed>fire grab(whilst backing up)>ring of fire>switch to earth>EA dodge>earthquake>start churning earth>arcane shield>swap attunements whilst channeling and pop an aura for fury>churning earth kabooms

If ur off kiting him around ur lowing the dps of the team too because it’s likely he’ll be off running around chasing and not standing still. Dodging Alpha is so easy you dont even need to pay attention, if a pug can’t count 1,2 dodge, then they aren’t worth grouping with o_o. Hell even if you do wanna carry them, guardian + aegis chain for the bads that cant figure out a simple mechanic would be better.

^ as mentioned; get in; get out for the aoe
i got my guardian to 80 just before i stopped ‘farming’ coe; and did all three paths reguarly with multiple chars (200 tokens per char, easy zerker gear for my newer alts… i dont like CoF much)

For a lot of boss fight like Alpha in CoE there is NO such a thing as getting more focused than anyone else. If you go down it’s because you missed a dodge, not because you tanked and took the hit for the group. sorry.

technically… alpha only properly targets one person with teeth of jormag (which is really the only dangerous thing about him), all the other rings are psuedo aoes; you can stand in the middle of them in safety

That’s if you are a ranged kitten.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAzExrIyZzU
Would hit everyone if they didn’t dodge.

As for you riss.. I take it you never have a full melee group, never LoS to group mobs and forget about the fact that mob can also do cleave damage and AoE. And also keep forgetting that a lot of boss mechanics in melee range will just hit everyone. But keep telling yourself how useful you are for taking so much damage.

There are a few very dangerous things that are mostly focused, like some golem attack in CoE that looks like a laser that quickly downs people in a single target but overall if you melee most stuff is pretty much aoe/cleave prone.

lol; i used to pug farm coe alot; if i noticed he was targetting me on either my mesmer or ele (who both could easily survive solo if crystallised; and if the team werent… good) id pull off so the rest of the team could full on dps and ignore dodges (although if you run with all warrs WWing into a wall; it wouldnt matter; you clearly dont play very pug friendly)

Pretty sure his ice AOE hits the center only so you still have to dodge/pay attention to which AOE he uses

nope; all the aoes have 2 circles; only one of the planted aoes does damage in the center ring (the outer ring is safe), all the others do damage in the outer ring (the inner circle is safe); you can tell if the damage is going to hit the center because theres a diamond dust like mist in the aoe; as nikaido pointed out; if you stack then the damage hits all over the aoe; but experienced puggers may use the knowledge to safely res a downed ‘baddie’/‘newbie’; or keep them safe

This is entirely bullkitten in my opinion. Anyone can grind achievements. It takes no skill, it takes time. Getting DM isn’t hard, you can get carried if you want. There are plenty of 7000+ achievement players that are total kittenters, whereas there are plenty of <5000 players who’ll wipe the floor with you when it comes to dungeons.

Anyone that thinks high achievements = probably good player needs to get their head out of their behind. All I get from achievements is <1500: risky, probably bad, kick if needed. But that goes for any PUG. I never check achievements. If they’re bad, they’ll get booted. If they’re good, I don’t care if they got 9.2k achievements or 400.

high achievement points definitely imply a player is experienced; no one is saying its an exact science, but more experience with something tend to improve their ‘skill’ (‘practice makes perfect’); i too have met some amazing<3k achi point players (yet i havent met a bad 7k+ player yet… until i get there >=D); i was just sharing the impression i get when i join a group

-high heels starts with 10 cm (fetish heels starts with 14 cm – master class of heels)

- the form of heels are diffrent. for exampel typical high heels = pencil

i always wear in the winter boots with a 5 cm heel. and i dont fall/slide with them on ice. because they have a wide heel.

You’re…. you…. what? Huh?

This game FAVORS melee. D/D ele destorys most content. People prefer GS warrior over longgow/rifle. People prefer D/D ele over staff ele, people prefer D/D thief over sbow thief, people prefer sword/anything mesmer over GS mesmer.

You play one class and one weapon set and that’s how you determine this game doesn’t favor melee? Here’s a hint, if you want to go melee, don’t pick a ‘magical’ based class.

+1. I play staff Elementalist, longbow Ranger, and greatsword Mesmer and I get destroyed in PvE a lot. I’m forced to build Berserker gear, and I can do nothing but slow the enemy down until they get to me and 2 hit me. This game favors Melee characters, not ranged.

i can kind of understand where you’re coming from with staff ele (i find it horrible to use without a party member); but mesmer and ranger both have weapon swaps and very viable melee weapon/s (and in pve; ranger pets get the brunt of aggro… or did when i levelled mine… which was my first 80… so a while ago); so i dont understand why mobs destroy you once they reach you (and then theres kiting… efficient kiting means only ranged mobs would hit you anyway – hard to do with staff ele though; because you end up kiting them out of aoes)
