Guild Wars 2

Since yesterday’s patch it feels like we’re in beta already without access to beta content >_>

Here you go.

I liked, got me interested.

Only Ele would use Clerics, and then magi is slightly better. Maybe just pickup the skin you like and use the wardrobe? That’s my take for ascended boxes I have no interest in.

You want people to have difrent builds but conkitten Necro never being able to DPS.

5 banners warrior sounds like fun, but we don’t have enough hands to hold all of them (and we know nobody gonna pick them up for us).

When it comes to traits and sigils yes. (See my edits).

Magi’s staff/IB ele is the best healer in the game.

Why magi’s? Can you elaborate?

Healing power as main and precision as second for more oncrit procs. And vitality being superior to toughness. Clerics offers HP, Power and Toughness, so it is inferior.

Edit : and Because you’re going for a 02066 build (Air – Soothing Winds, Pecision is converted into Healing Power), thus no points in power anyways.

Edit 2 : I’d never think to make an optimal healing build.

I misspress my keybinds for utilities and randomly waste CDs when I swap utilities of place.

And if you buy Eternity you unlock all 5 skins used in crafting it.

Knowing people they will just kick tank mesmers and pick a tank guardian instead if it is more tanky/better. If the necro can’t be the DPS as you said, people will pick an elementalist instead, what if necro wants to play DPS? It will just pidgeonhole people into set Class/Build combos instead of an unique Gear set. (And anyways, necro is a whole problem on its own :‘( )
Kind people like you are already accepting everyone in their parties but I am speaking of everyone else who doesn’t.

In the current state of the game Risk is defined by use of mechanics (active defense/support), then by traits to boost said mechanics and then by passive defense (gear).

• Mechanics and Traits are self sufficient
• Gear plays a secondary part by boosting a side not covered by mechanics or traits
• Boosting furthermore an asset powered by Mechanics or Traits is overkill

Mechanics are active defense as reflects, boons, conditions, CC, block, invuln and dodge. They come from utility skills, traits and Dodge roll.

• A) There is enough active defense to complete content using fast damage
• B) There is not enough of active defense to complete content using medium damage gear
• C) There is too much active defense to complete content using no damage gear (pure defense gear)

A) is a small risk for reward, B is medium risk for reward and C) is no risk for reward. The problem is in the core of the game, in its mechanics. There’s just enough of them to achieve no risk at all.

I do use it eventually, but I make sure I pick builds and gear I desire for my parties. That won’t change if trinity is introduced (we both know that). I’m underlining the possible worse state of pickup groups and LFG parties after more defined roles are made requiered.

• Example of me using LFG today : Need War, Ele, Thief link berzerker gear. I filter by class, then by gear.

• Supposed me using LFG if a soft/hard/anything trinity is introduced : Need X build X class X gear, Y build Y class Y gear, Z build Z class Z gear. I filter by Class, Utility, Traits and Gear. Having the right gear is not enough now and class Z is not wanted if it uses gear X.

People secretly want Defense gear to reward as much as Damage gear.

Correct, I do want this to happen, not in all encounters but in some. We have this diversity and I’m not happy to one gear/build is defined as training gear.

Do you see the issue within my words? Reread please.

Hint : People secretly want 0 damage gear to reward as much as 100% damage gear.
People want that 0 = 100.

Interestingly, this is comparable to having the protection boon on you at all times. Or in other words, to a berserker protection is worth something like 1000 toughness. (To someone in toughness-primary gear, it’s worth more like 1400)

This is funny and makes you think. Should we buff Toughness ? When will it become better than Protection? How to balance Active defense (Protection) and passive (toughness)? If you can maintain Protection for ever, Toughness is obsolete… Will buffing Toughness make content faceroll (if Toughness is just so good it negates over 50…60…70% of damage)? Will Protection then be useless? Combine both for 100% damage mitigation?

Isn’t having 5 legendaries to show off in combat or standing in LA a showoff on its own? Even link them in /m .

People secretly want Defense gear to reward as much as Damage gear.

I can’t wait to see “GLF X role (DPS/Healer/Tank/CC/Suport) X class X mastery point link X gear stat or kick” and “GLFM X class (no X build or kick)”.
This is not sarcasm, wanna see every LFG user have a toxic behaviour regarding builds and trinity roles.

and what do u care? u already have your speedrun party…. leave it and try to join the ACTUAL lfg, “meta zerk build” “10k+ AP” “no necro” “ele war guard only” etc etc, then you will join it and then wipe because they dont know how to play it….
this is not sarcam, open the lfg try to pug instead play with your friends…. and after 3 years of this, tell me what is toxic regarding your full dps zerk corner meta roles

That’s why I’m happy, I have a speedrun party and will enjoy evey tear of those LFG users that wipe on every encounter.
As someone said, if Trinity will happen OR any “requiered build to complete X”, it will be much worse than just “equip zerk and finish dungeon”.

Inb4 “Sorry we need only one revenant kick this one”.

I can’t wait to see “GLF X role (DPS/Healer/Tank/CC/Suport) X class X mastery point link X gear stat or kick” and “GLFM X class (no X build or kick)”.
This is not sarcasm, wanna see every LFG user have a toxic behaviour regarding builds and trinity roles.

People fail to realise one simple thing IllegalChocolate mentioned : There will always be the most effective way.

I don’t care personnaly, have all classes and enough gold to rebuild their stat allocation for “new meta”.

After AC endgame, CM Story endgame. Should tell Seshi.

It’s out of control! Someone stop them ! :o

I wish people would put more work and finetuning into their records and not publish one per day.

Windsagio.1340:

If you’re not playing for fun, then why play?

Oh please don’t tell people how to play….

I’d rather call Nike’s beliefs common sense.

LFG isn’t bound to a server. You should take a read at gw2dungeons.net , it is truly awesome and has everything. Just by reading it you’ll easly fit in any party.

The potato is real.

Maleficent anyone?

are those just text boxes or is our character actually voiced?

Voiced, check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO1yFFeMU8s

We got a kittening winner :
http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/2xsd41/does_arenanet_punishes_people_who_scam_sellers/

You’ll be surprised to see that out of 4 PUGs that range the boss, 2 are at least condition or hybrid.

Call it “exploit”, makes things funnier.

If you’re on EU mail me in game.

That’s pretty hardcore.

Maybe he means they ruined the diversity of CC for bosses (some pull, others stun, third fears away) and made them all do one thing. Breaks immersion, just like reflects not working on Malrona and her bolts of poison while everywhere else they work I guess.

Point is, dungeons are easy to start and easy to master. People are just spoonfed kittens.

phys.7689:

The big problem as i see it, is that because people are mostly seeing these parties on lfg, they feel like they cant play dungeons, wont get groups, or will be kicked.

I’m looking for a job. I had that interview where I was so lost I didn’t understand half of what the recruter was saying. Why is he looking for someone so qualified? There is no need of a degree to get paid a wage. Instead of actually getting a degree I’ll just remain jobless and feed on living support the State can offer me.

You can also use this http://gw2legends.net/ to track your progress ! It helped me for my legendaries too.
This http://gw2dungeons.net/ has all the information to get you started in dungeons to make the gold (CoE) !

Good luck !

At least they answered !

deSade.9437:

Alright, the ending completely RUINED it. And I’m glad of it, because it was making me think too much. I no like thinking.

Same here, I was like " Ohgod why the kitten did you do this to the movie arghhhhh". :’(

@Weth, can’t tell times you might check the thread in bug section, DnT has a streamed tour with the bug happening.

I never managed to blink from platform to platform actually, are you sure you were trying the exact same move as you used to? By the look of Blink reliability that should’nt work at all.

Droggy.7863:

Humble when learn something new? Ok I´m done. I prefer thinking about my build then copy one build like thousands of sheeps. This is what makes GW so enjoyable for me. Thanks for everything guys

Running a 5 zerk warrior makes you by default a sheep (a bad one even).

NoTrigger.8396:

ODB.6891:

They also appear to be trying to seriously diminish casual play? "this new system is about players working together and coordinating. I don’t think the people calling for this have really thought out how much this will also negatively affect them. They are actually less organized in most cases than zerk players…as most of them will just try to do their own separate things in encounters…whereas zerk usually coordinates the exact same strategy.

this will force people to wake up and l2p. once you have to earn your rewards in this game instead of getting everything for running around in circles mindlessly, the player base will become much better at playing it.

Or they complain hard enough for it to get nerfed.

Mesmer would be the only class to switch builds for burst, i like (kinda).

Wethospu.6437:

I could probably deduce the rule with more information about your rotation and timings.

AC 1 3+2 → CM 123 → TA Up Fwd → Se 1 (2tokens) 3 (2tokens).

Happend to my group today, in Sorrow’s embrace we got 2 tokens intead of full reward, we haven’t done the path in the day.

Will do ye

We were doing a full dungeon tour. After ac cm and ta we hit DR in se. 2 tokens and 2 empy fragments.

kitten this kitten >>

Why this pickyness even if you do not look for a speed run?

Because 1) stigma 2) they don’t want to spend time with noobs 3) they just need their rewards fast.

Most of the time it’s all 3 of them.

phys.7689:

They extended this to blinds as well, good example might be shadowshot, which is primarily a movement skill, with a bonus to blind. Now in a CC fight, this skill may become a no no.

might not be as bad though, because as long as the bar isnt close to breaking, you can use it relatively wihout fear.

That was my point, if someone overextends in the oportunity window with a blind DF is screwed.
