SE path 3 bugged?

this happened to me once, we didnt fail or anything but when we got to the final room the general wasnt there, we backtracked to the bridge and he was stood there instead, really odd only ever happened once.

get rid of the Berserker rings for Knight rings, you dont need Crit Damage all that much because you can get 30% from Valor traits which is one of our best trait tree’s.

Creating Legendary items needs to be changed

I’m going for Bolt and it’s gotta be one of the worst to obtain.

Just for the Gift of Lightning you need 100x Charged Lodestones… You know how rare these things are? It’s ridiculous… I’m not about to fork out 350g to purchase them all on the TP either.

Loving the no grind MMO ANet!

you should try for Mjolnir
it costs 350 Charged Lodestones
it’s actually worth more than any Legendary, same could be said for Infinite Light which requires 250 Lodestones.

Jormag?

Jormag lives further north and you can bet we will be fighting Drakkar before Jormag himself.

it’s most likely Jormag is the 2nd Elder Dragon we will fight against.

Would H/T/V be overpowered?

looks more like a worthless combination to me, could be OP in SPvP where bunker builds are designed for staying alive, not killing, but PvE wise these stats would be useless to min-max, maybe for jewelry only if people really need it but Healing Power for the most part is one if not the weakest stat ingame.

the might you give is irellevant a warrior can buff his own might to 25 stacks very easily and he can keep it there almost indefinately so long as he can hit an opponent.

you do however bring other things to the table, but damage compared to a warrior is not one of them.

Sword is terrible for warrior atm, Shield is something you can rely on when you need it because of the 5 skill.

i’d suggest sticking to the shield

Twilight preview code?

in Crafting

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

the handle much like the blade is a particle effect which is why when previewing it they look exactly the same because it’s the exact same base model for all 3 swords, only the particle effects you cannot preview differ.

Some questions about DR.

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

a timer will start when you complete a dungeon (get the reward at the end), this timer will last for 2 hours, if you complete a 5th dungeon in this time you will hit DR and recieve nerfed rewards. DR affects all dungeon paths.

i’d like a clear dps meter for a testing zone i.e what the mists are supposed to be, but the whole mentality that comes with a DPS meter means it’s something that shouldnt be added to the game because you know exactly what it leads to.

Rank each profession from best to worst!

Lorana.2468

you cant go wrong playing a Guardian atm, they excel in every field.

Not exactly. Their mobility really isn’t that great and their best ranged weapon(damage-wise) is only really reliable at a range of around 600 or so. (Despite the max range being 1200.)

With that said, I wouldn’t really wouldn’t put any profession on a list from best to worst. Each profession has their ups and downs.

our mobility is fine, and generally isnt a requirement for the majority of the game.

Sword is a handy weapon in pvp because of it’s low cooldown instant teleport, you really dont need such mobility in other area’s of the game other than Swiftness, which we have.

yes the ranged weapons are bad, but you should only be using them if your forced to, you excel in melee and should be building as such.

[PvE] How can I make a 1h Sword viable?

Lorana.2468

Empower Allies is a warrior trait in the Tactics line, our version is Strength in Numbers in the Valor tree, it gives Toughness.

also whilst in the mists your gear is not only nerfed but you cannot consume food buffs like the Omnomberry Cream.

sadly this game lacks any real damage testing area for such theorycrafting.

Access to bank for crafting? - 600 gems

Lorana.2468

the locks are there for you to unlock additional bank tabs it is completely unrelated to the crafting bank tab, you seem to have confused the two.

buying additional Bank tabs gives you another 30 slots of bank space you can store items in.

Creating Legendary items needs to be changed

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

Legendaries were messed up right from the start and it’s pretty much too little to late to change anything but the precursor issue.

what needs to be changed is the ability to earn gold from playing the game and not the TP, the difference is huge.

only thing they could probably do is make the current legendaries a stepping stone to a real legendary and add things onto the top end, like removing all the legendary special effects until you achieve a worthy goal thats actually worth the name Legendary.

not just spend 1000g and calling it legendary.

Jade Maw 40+

Lorana.2468

this is one of those things where Anet didnt expect people to level up so quickly.

you can either just leave fractals at level 40 or revive orb your way through jade maw and take advantage of a somewhat early lead over other people when more AR is added to the game and specific rewards for higher levels are added.

CoF path 2 - kiting bit

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

i’ve killed everything in that room around the 91% mark.
the best possible thing you can bring without doubt for this encounter, is a Guardian with a Greatsword.
Binding Blade is one of the strongest abilities ingame, use it.

this event was changed a long time ago when CoF2 was overfarmed because of how insanely easy it was.
the issue at hand is that this particular event is much harder than most events in any other dungeon excluding Arah and when SE1 got changed.
the balance of difficulty is out of place, but it’s by no means impossible to kill them all.

my group always focus the casters down first.

Smokelord is always no.1 priority, he spawns with 2 Shadowblades, these are also very hard hitters, binding blade is great for gathering them up and nuking them all down, they should all be killed asap.

next focus on the fanatic, the Archers are not so much of an issue because they will spend most of their time attempting to run away from nearby players and stay at range, things like Ring of Warding cause them to just stand there hitting the ring for a good few seconds.

Hellstorms (flamethrower enemies) are killed very easily with Retaliation.
Flame Callers have innate stability, you cannot pull or push them so when he spawns try and drag the Fanatic who spawns with him together to aoe them both down.
the Blademasters do very little to cause for concern and because they are melee spend most of their timing just dying to any cleaves/aoe whilst you focus other targets.

Only Warrs and Guards? Heavy armor thread

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

it’s not so much the heavy armour thats the issue, it’s that these 2 proffesions are far better at the current pve metagame than any other proffesion.

there is no reason to bring other proffesions if you can bring another Warrior or Guardian.

rarer the better, it’s just a skin though the option to buy them with ALOT of pristine relics would be handy to remove the complete RNG of the task, same deal with the rings, altho since these are just skins the price should be much higher.

just run path 3 it’s an absolute minimum of 60 tokens per day, more if you get the bags or run it later on with a different character.

path 3 is incredibly easy all you need to know is how to handle lupus.

shame the Cultist hammer isnt a real hammer skin, im sure alot of people would aim for that.

Anet hate healing...

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

you should never have any more than 500 healing power, because the stat scales badly on almost every ability that can heal and suffers dimishing returns after 500.

and you should never be using Merciful Intervention, it’s easily the worst ability Guardians get, massive cooldown, terrible effect.

Dungeon diminishing return question

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

should be fine.
important to note that:
there is daily bonus per character for running x path once a day, this is a bonus 40 tokens meaning you normally recieve 20 for a total of 60.

running more than 4 dungeons per 2 hours (the timer starts as soon as you complete the first path) gives you DR and will reward you with 45 tokens rather than 60.

when you run a path, lets say AC 1 there is also probably a 2h cooldown on running that path again on a 2nd character that will give you DR if you dont wait.

Max Distance Ranged Attacking

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

because not every skill on their bar is at the same range as their weapon, and more often than not they may be waiting for an opportunity to switch weapons and melee.

depends on class ofc, also consider that with abilities that pierce enemies postioning is key and is more often than not more useful the closer you are to your enemy because it’s easier to change your projectile trajectory and hit more enemies at once.

each of them have a role to play.

but the Hammer is what most consider to be your “best” weapon at max level for PvE, because of it’s amazing auto-attack and Blast Combo.
you should be using Greatsword to level with.

What is the point of glass cannon?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

Glass cannons kill stuff quicker
you get rewarded sooner rather than later

if your going down constantly it’s not because of the gear, it’s your skill.
regardless of what gear you are wearing Dodgeroll still makes you invincible when timed to avoid attacks correctly.
do not blame the gear, blame the player.

Skipping getting out of hand

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

the trash mobs should be like the Jade enemies in the Jade Sea Fractal.

you can skip all that trash up to Maw easily, perfectly an option.
but my group never does, because those Jade drop Onyx Lodestones, and i’ve also had my fair share of named Exotics from these mobs aswell.

all in all, you want Trash worth killing, dredge is another good example, pretty much everyone hates them but the loot they drop is more than worth it as Miner Bags are very rewarding for the most part with Gossamer and Destroyer Core/Lodestones.

how long does arah exp mode take?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

Arah is generally very unforgiving to new players, be prepared to sink hours into the paths, but this is a learning curve.

you can bring path 1 down to a somewhat nice 40 minutes quite easily once you know the route, you can also skip Korga.
same can be said for path 2, easy just has a bit of length to it.
path 3 is the farmable route, despite the recent door-blocking change it’s still a very quick route to run and is worth your time to learn if you plan on farming the arah gear.
path 4 for the most part should be avoided, spend enough time on the forums and you’ll see all the threads on path 4 and Simin who is most likely going to block your progress from completing the path.

they explained this in a recent interview, the idea is that each holiday event needs something unique to it so that you look forward to it when it comes around next time.

they may or may not adapt certain things like the pvp map to the base game you can play forever/anytime but they want holidays to always have that special flair that wants you to come back and play them.
