Odd Race/Profession Combinations

I made a charr mesmer for that reason, love it. Charr elementalists could currently be frowned upon, lore-wise, considering the Flame Legion history.

Another odd combo I quite like is a sylvari engineer. Nothing beats a plant wielding a flamethrower!

Did both too
But Charr Mesmer fits well with Ash Legion I think

Dungeon Scaling Used for Evil

i have absolutely no problem finding a group with my 35+ chars, you still should have gear on your level, because downleveling makes lowlevel gear useless( level 35 gear is crap if your char is level 60 even though he is downleveled to 35)

Can you defeat zhaitan solo?

in Personal Story

Posted by: Njordfinn.4921

Njordfinn.4921

It’s a dungeon, so it’s not soloable,

This may be true for Arah Story, but there are several dungeons soloable.
Just check this playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCU1Y-AORphhLRqXkbuUGfit11BYmpBCr
Spiky.8403 also soloed all 3 paths of TA so dungeons are indeed soloable, just not all of them

Final Rest - Current Theories

Just a quick note—I said the odds of it dropping was closer to .005 than the 1 in a million or so that was tossed out. Those aren’t the exact odds, but if my math is correct, 10 players running the event every day might expect one staff to drop after about 7 months. (And we haven’t been out that long.)

Now that is demotivating

Ranger update

i mained the ranger, but right after i finished my guard i just didn’t think of him viable of doing anything as well as the guard, you only have 2 working group support skills, being the healing spring and the stone spirit, every other skill is just not usefull enough for the group, the traps are not spammable enough to provide combofields in a useable way and their duration is to short, either reduce total damage and make it spammable or reduce dps and increase the length of the traps so you can actually use the combo fields for more then one finisher!
please add an option to store your pet while in combat, so u can better loose aggro if needed.
there is way more that needs to be changed or buffed so the ranger can be usefull to the group and not only be a freeloading dps class without huge dps(as the pet is mostly dead in harder dungeons)

That is a HORRIBLE idea, and it gimps the trap ranger builds, which is one of the only good builds we have as Rangers. If they gimped the traps like that I’d probably quit maining ranger, because then I wouldn’t be doing enough damage to help out the party in dungeons.

well the damage per minute of the traps would still stay the same, but the combo field would be way more usable

Beginners guide to dungeons?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Njordfinn.4921

Njordfinn.4921

rangers right now aren’t a good class in pve, they need several mechanics buffed, so they are actually able to compete with the other classes in dungeons(ranger is lacking support with the only support coming from the spirit of stone and the water combo field; ranger is lacking dps or needs to go full condition which has the problem, that the conditions still need to tick off, while other skills do the damage instantly; ranger can go melee, but bugged skill 1 on 1hsword also sucks)
so all in all i’d say, just don’t play a ranger in addition to the stuff posted above

I want to play effective and that i can only do after i reach level 80.

Warriors < Everything Else

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Njordfinn.4921

Njordfinn.4921

warrior has imo the biggest burst damage in the game
either you have the wrong gear or wrong traits or wrong weapons
mace in main hand e.g.
and u also have at least 3 viable options
berserker gear(glass cannon), knight gear(bruiser) and soldier gear(tank)
as well as a mix of them
for viable traiting just look in the warrior forum or look at that video by strife015

i don’t have a problem with people not knowing what to do if they say so.
i’d gladly explain it to them.
now what i don’t like at all are people looking for speedrun groups and such who don’t know what they are doing.
so i wouldn’t have a problem with doing dungeons with you as you exclaimed that it’s your first time

So with zerg reviving getting the boot....

Njordfinn.4921

I was hoping it would be a surprise, but sure. I rebuilt the “Defend Magg while he plants the bomb” event in CoF (path 2). It now involves a special flame legion assassin who must be killed before he reaches Magg, while dealing with never-ending spawns of (non veteran…) flame legion out to distract the players and add pressure.

Sounds like an interesting encounter, i love the way the dungeons are heading already

cofp1 is not doable because of the 4 torches place, if you could glitch through the door behind that switch you could do so, but i think thats not possible

Why CritDmg scales so badly in low dungeons?

in Fractals, Dungeons & Raids

Posted by: Njordfinn.4921

Njordfinn.4921

i think it is because in the early levels your armor only has 2 stats, so you don’t really have the possibility to get crit damage before level 55( when armors start to have 3 stats)

Dungeon Tokens - Add Lodestones to Vendors

Posted by: Njordfinn.4921

Njordfinn.4921

The problem right now is, it is way to much RNG.
I am doing multiple runs of CoE path 1 on a daily basis and sometimes i don’t even get 1 core while others get 5…
I really liked the DoA reward approach in GW1 where you would always get your 1/2/3/4 gems in nm and 2/4/6/8 gems in hm and sometimes as a random drop from a mob, but none cried if no mob dropped you a gem, as you were assured your gem at the chest.
Still they were quite pricey as the Area was not just brain afk button mashing as many other aspects of the game( still talking about GW1), but it still was PUGable.

@ Naii
1: agree
2: path 2 the event is overtuned
path 3 at the flames kill everything but 1 mob at every torch, then hit the mob to low health(below 10 percent) and finish all 5 mobs at the same time, by writing 1,2,3 in the chat or so
then just do the 1,2,3 thing at the torch as you have at least 10 seconds until the mobs respawn again
the harder thing at path 3 is the defense of the area that comes a bit later, as some of the silver mobs hit very hard here and the way you need to walk is pretty long
