Hard to decide

in Players Helping Players

LithePanther.5027

This is not a game where you can play as a DPS. If you want to be effective you need to spec offensively and defensively. 20 in tactics can be extremely beneficial to almost any spec for a warrior. That extra vitality is important.

I would prefer going he toughness line but I don’t like the toughness traits.

Also, you need to gear more defensively as well. Don’t turn away a piece of gear with toughness or vitality just because it’s not max dps.

Make sure you can dodge.

Can I lead a guild and represent another guild?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: LithePanther.5027

LithePanther.5027

If my guild leader or any other officers in my guild decided they to be in another guild along with our guild, I would leave.

If you’re in a position of authority in a guild you should not be spending your time in another guild (that isn;t your own personal one for the bank).

[Guild Leaders] Since there is no way to tell....

LithePanther.5027

Two ways.

One is a server reset causes everyone to show up as “offline” or in an “unknown location” until they log back on.

Also, one of our officers keeps track of people not representing/on another server/hasn’t logged on by writing their names down. Then we compare to what we’ve noticed and boot if we agree that they haven’t been on/representing/on our server.

The most efficient farming path doesn’t even involve Plinxx.

You do the top, then the bottom, and then either Fia or Dolyaks until North pops again. Rinse + Repeat. Missing the tunnel b/c of doing plinxx events causes a drop in loot.

They don’t sell in every heart vendor for sure, but the only thing that DOES is one or two kind of armor and/or jewelry.

Adding 2nd Account for Bank and Character Slots?

That’s why you save the bank for those items and the rest go to mules.

You just need to find a good guild. I’m in an amazing guild that is constantly active. It makes the game SO much more fun.

Some members stay just because of the guild!

Perhaps running a guild is not the way you should be playing. Try finding an active pre-established guild.

EU and NA players cant play together?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: LithePanther.5027

LithePanther.5027

To clarify…

To play with someone, you must be on the same server or overflow as them, with one exception.

That exception is dungeons – currently, you are allowed to do cross-server dungeons.

However, NA and EU players are independent; EU cannot do a dungeon cross-server with NA, and vice versa

As the title suggests, I’m looking for any way to hide the refinement of dowels.

I use my artificer to refine stuff so I can stack more before selling. And i always screw up and make dowels by accident, wasting planks all the time.

Is tgere any way to hide that stuff, or is there a way to “favorite” things like you can with dyes?

Trait line JUST for stat bonus?

LithePanther.5027

The best rifle build atm is 10/30/0/0/30, so it’s not a surprise you can’t find any traits in the power line that are good for rifle.

At 80 the points are not as big a deal as they are at low levels so spec for traits, not stats

Well unfortunately there isn’t anything yo can do about it.

If it bothers you so much, you should probably either wear some form of helmet or reroll. I would re-roll personally – my character’s hair is extremely important and it has to be perfect.

They won’t. Someone else posted a week or so ago about how he deleted his witch’s outfit. They don’t restore items, even if you bought them from the gem shop.

You can open a ticket and try but you won’t get another outfit unless you buy one.

Better Questing Area: Charr or Norn?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: LithePanther.5027

LithePanther.5027

Keep in mind that if you’re a zone completionist, you will spend FAR more time (at least twice as much) fully exploring Norn areas as you would in the Charr areas.

This can both be good and bad, but if you want to move on quickly the Norn area is bad for that

Thief Or Mesmer for a Main?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: LithePanther.5027

LithePanther.5027

Mesmer is amazing at PvP but is really hard to do event-grinding since they have issues tagging. I don’t know how they fare in dungeons.

Thief is also very good at PvP but the render fix coming up will make them less effective for sure. They’re really good at doing everything though: solo farming, event farming, and dungeons.

leveling to 80 only via crafting?

LithePanther.5027

Artificer is the cheapest – potion making costs about 3g. Google a guide.

If you use a booster, each 1-400 will give you 12 levels. So you can do 7 instead of 8. I recommend skipping cooking since it’s the most complicated, time-consuming, and mat-intensive.

I'm terrible at this game...

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: LithePanther.5027

LithePanther.5027

Keep it so your always activating a power (not including you’re weapn’s primary #1 attack), if your weapon’s 2-5 attacks are on Cool Down, switch weapons and/or use your #7-10 powers.
And yes movement is vital.

Be careful with that advice, because it’s not always true.

On my warrior, I would never use any attack other then auto-attack, except on bosses. My auto attack does so much damage it’s not worth it to use anything else.

Other classes have weapons like this too.

Where is the source?

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/pvp/pvp/Please-fix-this-sooner-rather-than-later-Vid-attached

From what he said it looks like it’s just a fix for Thief rendering and not the rendering issue altogether. I guess we’ll see tho.

Thief rendering problems are caused by the rendering bug. When they fix the rendering bug, it will fix thief rendering.
