#sylvarimasterrace
Mikus sylvari looks ill tho!

The whole point is to convey corruption and mordremoth putrifaction. You’re not artistic enough.

It’s an overused look and looks meh. Go for sylvari, can’t do wrong :>

ALL HAIL MORDREMOTH !!

Anyone finding Tazza in SE p1 resetting randomly since patch? :S

We had Kholer rest randomly after patch.

Every pre, once per account.

Need party EU for dungeon tour.

lets get this straight I have Never and will never play wow
im almost 52 years old and its a insult to anyone when you think they have ever played wow cant read I played Everquest,
if this game is not about leveling then why have it

So stupid people pidgeonholed into ‘Everquest’ standarts of ‘Levels’ aren’t lost in Guild Wars 2.

Colin Johanson: I think from a feature perspective, the core fundamental features that make up Heart of Thorns, we talked about today. We were maybe intentionally vague when we didn’t talk about what types of content you’re going to experience specifically in the jungle, but the most important messages we want people to take from today are that you’re going to be able to explore a new area, and we know that Guild Wars 2 needs more challenging encounters and more challenging group encounters, and it needs extremely challenging encounters for groups to build up to and defeat. We’re going to be providing all of that with our Heart of Thorns experience.

Can have tldr Sam?

nvm, watched…. sounds boring as hell

ps: bg

Today i realized this section is no longer free speech and is moderated more than ever before. Sad stuff.

So the hype is real now?

All 3 work, i think i’ll just mail back and forth.

-75% discount hype. More laurels for me !!

Mostlikely TP’d using coordinates for the boss location and finished the last 1%, i had a warrior do the same in my CM 2 sell, he was rather stupid because the boss was dead already. He had no clue what to do and went speedhacking over the place searching for a killsteal.

I’d love to see runes that complement defensive gear. For example:
Rune of the Nomad
Gain 100 Power if your Toughness is over 1200
Gain 100 Precision if your Vitality is over 1200
Gain 200 Power if your Toughness is over 1500
Gain 200 Precision if your Vitality is over 1500
Gain 300 Power if your Toughness is over 1800
Gain 300 Precision if your Vitality is over 1800
Gain 30% Boon Duration if your Healing Power is over 1000
Things like this would still leave you below someone with offensive gear, but at least the Zerkers using percentage buffs (i.e. 10% Damage from Scholar Runes) wouldn’t be so exponentially outmatching you in PvE. It would give the people with Cleric’s gear a much needed 600 Power and 30% Boon Duration, or people with Valkyrie gear a nice 600 Precision (28% Critical Chance). Granted, that’s not as big of a buff as Scholar Runes are for a Zerker, but straight offensive stats are worth more to defensive builds than percentage buffs.
Nomad’s Gear (full defensive) would get a decent bump too, although it would still be less powerful than Cleric’s or Valk’s (unless they had no runes).

REDDIT QUOTE

It’s my thread btw.

o/

In your first picture only the Moa makes any sense, rest is random.
The WvW thing on the other hand… ewww

Are classes clocked upon registering, or we’re allowed to swap classes for each path?

By the way, post-patch makes Full Zerk w/ Scholar do 1,62% more damage than Assassin w/ Ranger due to Might being nerfed to 30 power per stack (currently 1,46%). Feel the nerf ~

Ok, since nobody cares about PvE I’ll give you guys a breakdown of these buffs.

Deception: Whatever, might save you from an aoe after mob death. No use.

Phantasmal Mage: Slightly better against Mordem Husks (Tough skin) when playing SW condimesmer

Confusing Images: Better against Mordem Husks (Tough skin) when playing SW condimesmer.

Time Warp: Potentially huge buff for dungeons. 1 more Timewarp than pre-patch for 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17 and 18 minutes runs.

Illusion of Life: Whatever, better trolling in openworld? No use.

Phantasmal Defender: More Defenders in Fractals, great.

Confusion damage +33%: Semi-Good, you stack some confusion with Feedback procs in dungeons + On clone death Minor. Great for Mordem Husk-hunter condimesmer.

Out of 7 changes, in PvE :

• 2 are useless
• 3 are situational (SW)
• 2 are great changes

(in PvP : 1 great, 1 good, 4 useless and 1 not affecting PvP). It’s not so bad !

Too much love, expect nerfs.

Fix bugs

This gearcheck thread is so sad.

This thread is a living definition of ochlocracy.

Waiting for the sub 18 minutes now, with less random fgs pickups ( ;D ) and no risen aggro on lupi.
Lots of love ~

I crafted Kudzu and I’m hitting on Josephine as if there were no tomorrow.
Today was a good day.

My dad says that his character is a real sluoooot and is trying to romance everyone in the game. Romance option available? He takes it.
Should I get worried?

After Iron bull there’s not much to be seen. Too bad there’s no downscaling, first zones feel so easy on Nightmare :<

Iris Ng.9845:

Guys, you can stack aura of Bifrost to an obnoxious level with Musical Instruments. I used Harp on my elementalist.

Was looking for a workaround after they broke the on swap aura for bifrost.

Iris Ng.9845:

I tried it in pvp. It’s quite OP when you camp mid point and can monitor the whole map x . x

That’s the bad thing about this.

IvanTheGrey.2941:

Finally started playing it. What an amazing game. While the combat in GW2 seems to be a bit better (only 10 hours in), the story is exponentially better.

tbh, even though GW2 combat is good I honestly don’t really miss it that much. Some people find it hard to play other games after playing GW2 because the gameplay isn’t as good, but I don’t really find it that much of a deal breaker.

i’ll tell you what – considering the fact that half of the game is ferelden and half of it is orlais, I honestly didn’t find all of the pseudo-french voices that annoying.

Gives a nice touch imo. Combat would be 8/10 if it had a dodge and I would actually be able to move by pressing both L and R mouse buttons.

#Iron Bull romance

So i read somewhere here about DA:Inquisition. Its pretty good ._. Feeling involved in an RPG !

Then i remember GW2 removed the 3 “emotion” choices for your character. ;’(

Generosity is really good to return the burning.

And the extra 3k health ! <3

Ross Biddle.2367:

While I can’t change your personal experience, nor would i necessarily say I’ve put together the perfect set of options, I gotta say I’ve been playing this build in ranked matches and not having trouble with it. In terms of fights there’s not been anything I can’t beat down. I’ve been overwhelmed at times by outnumbered fights but that’s all been a part of knowing when to engage/disengage. Matches are won and lost, but in solo-q that’s not always up to you since you team can be all kinds of afk and/or just bad.

Also mystified by your being a total freekill vs lb ranger or thief. But again, can’t comment on your personal experience.

Anyway your suggestions/trial are welcomed.

Fair enough, I guess the issues of the build you are suggesting are hard to gasp when we’re on opposite sides of the MMR spectrum. It’s comparing your thief from your Kill montage who died without even moving and Collero that I had to fight in a match when testing your build.

Consider changing your sigil, runes and sigils however, they aren’t working at high level plays – Might gives more good to phantasms. Like, it’s vital you change that if EVER you want to play competitively with this build.

• What adelaide said on the ammulet
• What I suggested about Air runes being awful and Might being a better stat for phantasms (moreso when you swap to Berserker)

tl;dr : It’s a fun build to play, awful build to compete with (even power necro is a better 662 mesmer at this point).

It has several flaws (no remove boon, no portal, no aoe pressure) so I was really curious how you could make it work in today’s Cele AoE meta. The enemies were hotjoin level in your showcase so I was wondering how is the build performing in Ranked or on a higher level.
The assassin amulet and the only 2 getaways you have got my attention (and to some extend the Scepter) as you pick up the -glassiest- tools aviable and I find that rather scary.

YET

I’ll get that build going in a few ranked matches and will come back with feedback. Might take an hour or two. Might change runes.

Edit: Impressions as I keep playing your build. Every match is commented on its own, if a point is brought up each time, it is an issue

Match 1 : Lost on a 1+1+1+2 vs ? (enemy thief from Cheese Mode)

• Is a total freekill against a LB ranger or thief
• Absent mobility, too slow to be viable
• Hits hard
• Oppener not enough range

Match 2 : Won 1+1+1+1+1 vs 1+1+3 (the 3 afk’d, supposed to be pvers testing out new classes)

• Swapped Scepter out because it’s totally kittened, using GS + S/P. Range seems more effective, the burst is faster, faster opener, safe range, has one boon remove and might.
• Maybe change the ammulet/rune/sigil?

Match 3 : Lost 1+1+1+2 vs ? (necro+necro+guard+staff ele+war)

• The armor does not synergize with the build AT ALL.
• Picking Berserker amulet, Assassin is too much to handle pressure (was fearlocked 24/7 with 0 escapes after Decoy and Blink were used)
• Consider Traveler/Hoelbrak + Battle/Hydromancy/Paralyse/Energy sigils because
  1) Might is superior to Ferocity when speaking of phantasms
  2) You don’t have enough getaways and the dodges are always a good thing to have;
  3) You lack seriously speed (the Air runes are awful at that, you get no swiftness procs at all so half the rune is useless).
  4) You’re way too weak to conditions
• Swap if you wish for Mender’s Purity with Har. Mantras and Heal Mantra

Using from now on http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQNAsaRl0npRtlpxGNcrNiphcqqkOQiBlu0pFA-TZBCwAAOBAYOEAaeCA52fIcZAA

Match 4 : Lost, 1+1+1+1 (1 afk) vs 1+1+1+1+1

• Is more sustained
• Still deals a fair amount of damage
• Stun is ok and a lifesaver.
• Still no mobility but well, its good at what it is meant to do.

Conclusion : It is a hotjoin/unranked build/a build for funs and some quick bursts of rank1’s/zerk pvers.

Aren’t you a freekill with that 15k health, no IP for immediate Distortion and no staff/torch? I would like to have your word on Ranked arena plays.

evade spams while dealing damage

I want that build so bad, what game are you playing?

Can someone tell me why people LH cancel and how? Like Mesmer GS auto with straw weapon?

GinghamLion.3614:

Woah. That was wonderful. What is with that guy?

He’s an awful/new player/guardian that might also be upleveled?
Funny part is : it took whole 5 minutes for the condi mesmer to kill him.

Well he did play Invigoration when I was watching his stream this month.

Yet Helseth plays Invigoration, go figure… :o

DoomKnightMax.6592:

So it is possible to 1 shot someone even through downstate? Never happened in my life time. I must be doing something wrong. im 99% sure it isn’ t my gear.

His friend downed the guy and the mesmer burned the whole downstate with MW. It’s impossible now because you have an immunity time when you go down.
(Or i’m wrong and the immunity only happens in sPvP)

What the actual kitten?

2complex4me

Make him a warlock, some dark dyes and skulls/furr on the shoulders, rich clothes and a scarry mask…
Purple mind breaking magic and deadly psycho-spells.

tldr of the comments : “As long as it doesn’t share my opinion it is baised.”

SaintSnow.6593:

Update: Now you randomly spawn on the enemy team.

That is quiet funny tho.

Support comes from melee (because support is short range, PBAOE…) so you have to be with your group to support it.
If you played monk in gw1 try out guardian, it’s like a melee Prot. Monk with Spell Breaker, Aegis, Smite Conditions and Guardian. An other support class would be mesmer (same as a prot monk).

GrimmR.3541:

Don’t tell the dungeonforum gets overtaken by filthy casuals. :o
Oh wait, it already is..

Well since you started posting, yeh o/

Too long didn’t read. Wtf is going on srsly?

SHM.7628:

I guess its the torment buff they got.

Not even close, I hope.

Mesmer is support/utility class with CC. If you don’t like the playstyle don’t use it imo (I wouldn’t play a class I can’t enjoy).
They always were worth it for the utility and support, people just are too stupid to see beyond big numbers.

Lixerious.5763:

I play mostly in dungeons with thief and engineer and I have to say that in terms of group,
Thief: +single target dps -support buff (I use the pvp built 6/0/2/0/6 to give buffs)

That build is totally awful for PvE. But don’t mind the hates kicking you for not being heavy, they are most likely bad players/mean players.
