Legendaries: worth getting?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Lorana.2468

Can’t you just buy the lodestones?

Depends on the Legendary

for example any Legendary that requires Charged Lodestones prepare to empty your wallet as they are 3G each, and you need 100 of them.

that’s 300g from the Lodestones alone.
add in 100g for the Icy Runestones, 20g for the Gift Recipes, the cost of your precursor ~300g.

i just wish they were Account Bound when used (Currently they are Soulbound on Use, so you could even trade it) so i can could use it and then swap it between my characters.

Bubbles' name is Mordramoth!

this is actually more relevant to being the 6th Elder Dragons name as the Attack in question is an Earth one, not a water one.

Well hell…….seems weird that they would release the 6th dragon’s name before bubbles’ name, simply because they haven’t even officially confirmed that there’s a 6th dragon at all, it’s all speculation, whereas bubbles’ existence is confirmed.

Although, I can also see them keeping bubbles’ name away from us as long as possible, simply because we’ve made such a big deal out of it lol.

i feel they want the Underwater Dragon to remain a mystery, much like here on Earth the Deep Sea is very mysterious and unknown, im gettin the feeling they will leave that Dragon out of the game to always have an Elder Dragon threat looming over us, and the 6th Elder Dragon is related to the Sylvari and right now the Sylvari really need a lore-bomb as it were as atm they are very Mary-sue which doesnt do them justice as a fictional race.

it’s a string of hits, 9 in total, some will crit others wont the final hit also deals bonus dmg compared to the other 8 so it helps alot when your final strike crits.

in Full Berserker your looking at +70% crit chance then you can factor in other things like 12% crit from traits at full adrenaline and possible Fury boon for another 20%.

actually it is consistent, i dont rely on anything like cooldowns or special combo fields it’s just the damage output from One Hundred Blades that has a 6 1/2s cooldown.

could probably go even higher if i used Ruby Orbs over Runes of Strength, im just providing proof as to why warriors are wanted over other proffesions, but feel free to share screenshots of consistent damage from other proffesions.

see attachment for why you bring Warriors, it’s simply because no other class can come even close to the damage output, the faster you kill stuff, the faster you get your reward, the less time you have to spend.

the same rule applies to Guardians in that through their supportive buffs/role such as Aegis, Protection from a Hammer, healing etc you spend almost no time with anyone going down or dying i should also mention that Binding Blade is the only AoE pull skill ingame that allows you to group up enemies very easily and barrage them with combo fields and aoe, which makes quick work of enemies and is an excellent way of using abilities as a team.

this is’nt so much an elitist thing as it is simply taking advantage of the current metagame, why spend 1hour in a dungeon if you could get the same reward in 30 minutes.

Legendary Spear/Speargun?

type [&AgHjdwAA] for the spear and [&AgHpdwAA] for the Speargun into gw2 chat.

note that you will only be able to preview part of the skin, all the Legendaries have a special effect you cannot see in the preview, this will just give you a base idea of what they look like.

and yes the Trident, Kraitkin has already been crafted.

only time DE was remotely useful was Logan in CoF story.

“Watch out for the Fireball!”
and towards the end his massive Sanctuary bubble.

if Anet keep having us working with an npc in each dungeon path i strongly suggest they make them useful like Logan was in CoF, either give them a unique ability for a boss fight or simply give Audio Cue’s for boss attacks albeit please dont make that ability have a short cooldown for the sake of having to put up with a screaming npc.

Hobby Dungeon Explorer

5 points for every 5 dungeon’s you clear, though it works a little oddly, i think it counts individual dungeons rather than each explorable path, so if you do AC explorable 123 it’ll give you 1 point towards your 5.

i’ve never cared enough to find out exactly what counts towards it, but it’s definately not every explorable path be that design or bug.

Armoured Scales come from Krait/Drakes in WvW, best place to farm it if you can take the risk of being in a pvp zone.

otherwise your stuck transforming T5 scales into T6 with the forge.

also Heavy Moldy Bags drop all t6 materials, albeit at a low drop rate.

Mystic Clovers craft info

Lorana.2468

Both recipe’s have the same 1/3 chance but because you can gamble more often with the x1 recipe than you can with the x10 recipe averages show that you are most likely to reach your goal quicker with the x1 recipe.

out of the 5 times i did the x10 recipe it worked once, i’ve had a 9clover streak with the x1 recipe, it’s just all averages and luck so either go for a big gamble or play it safe.

I’m currently working on crafting a legendary as well (The Dreamer) and the precursor costs more than the rest of the components all together.

While Venom is only at 15 gold. And I can’t really understand why. Is Kraitkin less attractive? Different droprates?

Anyway, I’m not gonna open 531599 chests in Orr, I’m not gonna throw 5135 exotics shortbows in the Mystic Forge and I am not going to buy The Lover for 300 gold. Looks like I’ll have to wait…

because it’s an underwater weapon

Underwater Combat is mostly terrible and a very little part of the actual game.

no your not alone i dont want new races either, i would rather time spent making new races and everything that comes with it (starter area, personal story, making the armour fit because Charr already have enough clipping issues, etc) be spent on the races already ingame.

Race Languages:D?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

Each race has a language but because they had to make sure they could all communicate from a lore pov they wrote in about a new language they call New Krytan that all of the races have since learnt and now naturally speak, similar to English in the real world.

Crystal Caverns - Why the foes??!?!?!?!?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Lorana.2468

Mobs become invulnerable to your attacks if they cannot reach you with their auto-attack.

it is designed this way to prevent exploits of pulling mobs, jumping up a cliff, remember mobs cant jump, and then just sitting there whacking it without it having any chance of fighting back.

if your having trouble with this particular puzzle i would suggest using a Guardian, Stand your Ground is a very short cooldown that grants stability which will prevent any knockbacks.

Aegis will also block the occasional skill thrown at you.

When Did TA Blossoms Change? Opinions

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

hasnt changed much for me since Blossoms were always a 1hit kill-no miss with the Guardian Minesweeping Staff.

i dont so much as mind if they make the current explorables easier, i mean considering many of the dungeons were aimed at lower levels rather than level 80’s despite the downleveling there is still a big difference in power between say a lvl 55 and a lvl 80.

but if they are going for that route, i would very much like a level 80 hard mode for each dungeon, perhaps the new dungeon coming soon may shed light on the direction they are taking towards Dungeon Difficulty.

Dungeons and lodestones

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

1 Lodestone per 100 tokens, 1 core per 40 or 45.

2 cores can be transformed into 1 lodestone with a mandatory purchase of Crystals & the Elonian Wine from Miyani which costs ~25s along with t6 dust which is why i’d say make the cost of 2 cores slightly cheaper than 1 complete lodestone.

Rifles Viable at all?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

Engineer Rifle deals really good damage actually, you have to understand that not every weapon has it’s 2-5 skills built for dealing more damage than it’s auto-attack.

it shares this trait with a Guardian’s Hammer in that skills 2-4 are mostly situational.

Are Runes useless compared to Orbs/Crests?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

comes down to personal flavour i feel, some Runes are worth it if your after the special effect mainly from the 6/6 bonus.

for example rune of Strength is 5% damage under the effects of might, thats the same as a Sigil of Force and if you were using such a runeset you are most likely a class/build that is always under the effect of Might in combat.

you can also consider some of the really good 2/2 bonus’ Water & Monk both give 15% Boon Duration, add that to your Boon Duration trait tree for another 30% and throw in some Omnomberry Cream and you can get a whopping 80% bonus to your Boon Duration.

Tokens for a legendary? What now?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

for me it makes more sense to just throw in 4 offhand items that cost 210 tokens and chance at getting 1 of the Offhand precursors, which u can then sell and put the gold towards the precursor you want.

you may also want to consider gambling for more than 1 precursor, if your using random weapons you have a chance at ANY precursor, if only greatswords you only have a chance at 2 although your chances for either will be significantly higher.

Dark Asuran weapon effects?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Lorana.2468

Lorana.2468

just a reskin, similar to how CoE weapons are red versions of Mystic Weapons.

only weapons that have effects are the AC weapons and Arah weapons, Arah torch is one of my favourites as it’s light radius around your character is Blue rather than red.

Dungeons encourage players to run them naked

Lorana.2468

it’s not just dungeons, you can apply this to anywhere but SPvP, i can absolutely 100% say that WvW would be more fun without repair bills, because you wouldnt have to worry about not running around with the zerg.

sadly Repair bills are a goldsink and are an important part of the game in removing gold from players much like many other gold sinks in this game.

when your finally good at dungeons, you wont need to worry about repair bills.
