Guild Wars 2

A +10 will take 512 +1’s and 512 Thermo’s

I’m just going to leave this here.

Soon™

I didn’t.

dat #15 charr

I would rather see cloaks and capes, go figure >>

It has come to my attention, and my group that if you place the bombs near each other on the door at this part of the dredge fractal, when one dredge picks up a bomb, all 5 will get picked up at the same time, resulting in no bombs being left to go off,

We tested this a total of 5 time, and each time, if even one dredge got to the bombs to pick it up, all 5 would be picked up at the same time by that single dredge.

When the bombs were separated across the face of the door, this possible bug did not occur.

I do not know how long this has been around for, however I have never seen it happen before today, thus the conclusion of a possible bug.

I find maybe 1-2 Shards every 4-5 Fractal 50’s

Been playing since beta’s, didn’t notice these until this thread, shows how much attention I pay, haha.

I loved the Crystal sale, I really did need a few more of those =p

Here’s to still waiting for them bank tabs, lord knows I could use a few more

100-200g in crafting + 80-100g each piece sounds about right as you need all that damask.

All is vain.

#15Charr

Its already been nerfed, how about no.

I have gotten 9 since the Fractured Update.

Sword, Greatsword, Torch, Axe, Hammer, Warhorn, Spear, Staff, Hammer.

I have also gotten 13 Ascended Armour/Weapon chests (6 armour, 7 weapon)

2x berserker weapons
1x assassin weapon
1x celestial weapon
1x knights weapon
1x carrion weapon
1x dire weapon

1x assassin armour
3x soldier armour
1x settler armour
1x rampager armour

That’s 22/90ish Fractal 50’s that have given a skin or ascended chest for me personally, 1 skin every 10 fractals, 1 ascended every 7 fractals. The other fractals have either given nothing or a useless ring with bad stats.

I have maybe 700g floating around which I use to flip around and make a bit more money, I don’t really make much, but I don’t really need much either, but its handy if they release some sales I need or some new gemstore jazz I want.

Around 1k gold in investments, mostly long-term stuff ill sell in a few months to double my money, hopefully, hehe.

That’s about it, but if you want to add up all the soul bound stuff, ascended, crafting, money spent ect ect, I really would have no idea, but probably around 2-3k since release at the very least from these aspects.

I would like to sell back my 130 mystic forge stones >> even at a 50% return, that would be a nice 2.5k gems ^^

Capes and Cloaks. That is all.

Don’t forget that Dungeoneering and Summoning!

But yes, I would like to see some form of duelling somewhere, and give us some bloody team-death-match like modes in PvP already, conquest is so boring ^^

Heya there folks, I got bored earlier today and decided to give forging rare runes a go just to see if there really was any profit to be had, these are my results.

816 Rare Runes to start with, 204 Forges baseline. (I estimate around 250 forges total given that the majority of the time, a rare rune was returned giving me another to forge) for a total of approx. 32.7g spent given approx. 4s per rune, and 16s per forge attempt.

Returned 45 Superior runes, 5 being soul bound, for an approximate 1x Superior rune every 5.55 Forges, with an average cost of 88.8s per superior rune forged.

Of these 45 superior runes, 4 were of value, 1 divinity/traveller/melandru/scholar, a total of Approx 24g. The rest were worth between 3s-30s, the average leaning to the 3s mark.

Tl:DR; 32.7g spent, 26g returned, a 6.7g loss for 20 minutes of clicking.

Conclusion: My fingers hurt.

Well, I really wouldn’t want to use either of those, not from the information provided in the adds. The first one would probably struggle to run guild wars 2 on its lowest settings, not to mention it looks old and beat to hell, who knows if its been maintained and cared for properly, could be any number of problems.

While the second has “Apparently” better specs, however “Quad Core” gives us nothing and “2 GB video card” also gives us nothing, you would do well to find out exactly what the graphics card/processor and all of the other intricate details are, some pictures would also have helped.

Really though, if you are wanting to play at max settings, you would be spending 4k+ and building a sexy beast yourself.

You really should see what else is around, However, between the two of them, the second one would “Apparently” handle running Guild Wars 2 better.

Sorry, its very late and I’m half a sleep, but this should be pretty close eh?

I recommend you keep going balls deep with maximum DPS and not even thing about more survivability, even if you have trouble at first, you will quickly (More like be forced to) learn the mechanics and the gameplay, and once you do, you should have no trouble at all doing anything PvE with a Min-Max Build.

Alternatively, you could still grab a nice hammer build, which will have less damage but enhanced survivability, it will be more forgiving, and in higher level fractals, the protection can be nice.

Bam linksville, now we don’t have to worry about anyone actually using this trash.

Re-Roll a hammer warrior, seriously, we are pretty bad in a zerg situation and and the topic comes up every now and then but nothing ever sticks around, what I can think of is some kinda Greatsword+Glamour+Knights/Valk-ish kinda build doing some kinda damage from afar using something like 10/20/30/10/0 or whatever ^^

Then again, you could just run whatever and be pro Veilbot, Portalbot(For Da Golemz) and Timewarpbot(For Da Golemz Moar)

Nope, it was me, I bought them all to hand out to the poor needy children of Lions Arch who lost their homes when Scarlet attacked.

Still as viable as ever, conditions are still pretty much the Meta in WvW when roaming, looses effectiveness in correlation with how many people you have with you/fighting.

Just more people to kick from my groups, shrug, builds like these are half the reason I dislike casuals and pugs in general.

I really hope the people who watch this video realise how useless the spec is in PvE and go read Obal’s DPS guide.

My Guardian, Arista Skyfall.

Abyss/Ruby dyes being used, with the Orrian Heavy Dungeon armour skins.

I love threads like these, its always nice to see what other people are creating.

I have to disagree with you about loosing to bunker guardians and warriors, not once have I lost to a warrior or guardian, like ever, while running my Blackwater spec. A couple of fights have been draws against a few really good warriors, but I can honestly say I can’t remember loosing to a warrior or guardian in the last 8 months ^^

Personal preference, with rabid armour/weapons, you could take either rabid or dire, the question is, do you want some more health, more precision, or do you want a bit of both?

If you decide to give the condition variant a go, the link in my Sig for the “Blackwater Build” has essentially everything you need to know in there.

If you are looking for a Power based PU build, check out Osi’s thread for the Hidden Cat.

There are also a few hybrid builds around, have a look at Biddle’s builds and Blackdevil’s if you wanted to give a hybrid a go.

Heh, its lovely, thanks! =p

Alrighty guys, thanks for all the advice, I now have my own little power build that’s been working quite well!

That being said, I am greatly interested in trying out some condition builds, do you guys have any advice and/or recommendations for Condition necromancer builds?

As always, Thanks for any help!

You could transfer the contents of your external FAT32 drive, reformat it to NTFS, then transfer everything back. Although, it may take a kitten long time especially if you have a lot of stuff on there. I suppose you could just reformat the drive anyway if you don’t really care about what’s on there.

I get a chest every 4-5 Fractal 50’s I do, on average. I have not seen any ascended chests from WvW yet.

Just note, most of the chests will have rubbish stats :’(

Heya there guys, after much thought, I decided it was about time for me to make a Necromancer. I will be primarily playing PvP, mostly Tpvp/Soloq, and I am really interested in trying out some power builds, and some time afterwards I will give condition and other builds a run and find something that suits me best.

I have gone through all your advice and played around with some power builds, and for some reason settles on an axe/warhorn+staff 30/10/0/0/30 build, seems to work quite well most of the time until I get focused the hell down, haha. Lich form is best magnet ever.

Now my question is, What should I be looking for in a Conditionmancer build for TPvP? yet again I am completely clueless as to what would be good for a condition build, and am very interested in trying some, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yeah, I have been using 10/5/30/5/20 for a while now in spvp with meds/gs-sf/berserkers jewel, whilst I do alrighty-ish damage the survivability is pretty shoddy, especially when compared to warriors, who have almost twice our base health and better survivability, more often then not, more damage, more control, I also hate when they use all stances at once for like 8 seconds of godmode :’(

I just use it as a blast finisher for some more might most of the time, It is also very useful for ressing people, especially in fractal boss fights where those 3 blocks keep my kitten alive while I res.

Zerging, roaming, small teams? shouts, concentrations, meds? need a bit more to start recommending traits.

I really don’t have a problem at all doing frac 50s and pretty much everything else PvE related with 11k health.

Its just not as bad as you may think. Most of your survivability will come from dodges/blocks/reflects/blind <- Blind is key here in PvE, spam that justice yo~, so once you can play a guardian well, you wont even notice having a lower health pool. (Especially since everything in fractals 50 that matters will 1 shot you regardless, (Well, if you have protection up, you may survive) having more health would just end up being pointless)

Everything you need to know is Here

In WvW zerging/roaming, you will want some more health for sure, as 11k health in WvW is pretty much a death sentence, as there will always be that one glass thief 1-shot backstabbing you :’(

Yeah, that sounds about right, however I don’t mind, it stops me from spending it on makeover kits and other gemstore jaz ^^

I think I like the Pistol/Shield/Dagger the most out of them, then again, that’s just speculation on my part, I really have no idea how things will turn out, or what other people may find appealing.

What I did was take a look at all of the skins, and basically just picked out 10 which I think look the best and brought a couple of each. I didn’t really put too much thought into it, they will all make money in the end, some more then others, but I would rather have a few skins that I actually find appealing, in case I ever actually feel like using them before selling later on.

The skins I picked were;

Greatsword
Sword
Pistol
Dagger
Shield
Hammer
Staff
Longbow
Mace
Axe

Yeah, I am also almost out of crystals, so many things to buy, so little gold to buy it with :’(

I would very much like to see some bank tabs on sale, I could use a few of them *Hint**Hint*

I have been doing frac 50s for months now, and I usually see a few blues/greens, the rewards from fractals are really bad ^^

Just choose which class you enjoy playing more.

That being said,

Guardian will do more damage in meta.

Guardian is defensive support.

Warrior is offensive support.

It is easier to play a warrior and achieve reasonable success, however, a well played guardian will always be better in PvE.

Well, there is another 80k wall at 39s now, someone really has too many ecto’s.

I think it may settle around 37-39s each for the time being

Gah, I really don’t see the problem with people using 2/2/2 combinations of runes, and I really don’t see why Anet would have a problem with this.

Also, I would probably just wait and see what happens in the end, then look at your options and go from there.

Well, there will be 31 individual sales, there is a chance they may be re-released, along side many other others. (Anyone else looking forward to kasmeer’s staff being available?) but it could still be very unlikely, since it has not been too long since they were already re-released.

Hmm, I, myself am right handed, so that’s not much of a help, however I do have a friend who is left handed and also plays this game, however, he plays like a right handed person, using the keyboard with his left hand and mouse with the other. Perhaps it may be worth trying to get used to doing something similar.

Yeah, Personally, my Mesmer is a human.

Heh, I love it, great job!
