Guild Wars 2

Hello there fellow rockstars, lovers and friends!

I have a question regarding the making of my Ascended Wup Wup (Celestial) armor.
I Love my Elementalist, i really do. However, i love my Engineer equally much.
Not sure who deserves the armor the most. You know, who deserves to be most complete. I know the stat difference is minumum, its still bothers me though. Feeling complete is awsome.

Ill go straight on and give you my opinion.

My Elementalist looks flashy, is a Sylvari male which makes most armor look awsome, and the ascended will look even mroe awsome than he already does. However, for anything except roaming in WvW ill be using Zerker, to my despair. I got my Ley Line daggers which i will pair with the ascended look which would make me feel awsome.

However, my engineer is actually ALOT more fun in short periods of time, gets very exhausting and sore fingers after playing it for longer times at a time. Also he is a Charr, which makes alot of armor, including the ascended skin look lousy and.. just worse than other skins. AND, on top of that i really need a new rifle, currently using the charrzooka for Lore reasons, which just recently started bother me. However i feel better using Celestial engineer if i go with the WvW blobs than on my elementalist for unknown reasons.

Outside of the bothers and love of the professions ill also mention that ill be roaming with a guardian or ranger friend.

Also, kitten those Crystal quartz.

Thanks for any potential help!

Ah yeah, just found it in the Gem Store haha.
Well played Anet for the awsum then

Just saw this dude standing there.. havent seen an entire set of that armor before.
Had to post it, had to share the adoration.
And still i have no clue how you possibly attain that armor, do you?

Well played to the dude for lookinbg perfect.

people don’t need support in dungeons… they need might and big numbers on the screen appearing every second..

However.
Engineers can fit all roles decently good, while being superior at some roles. Dungeons are not one of our greatest strengths though I’m afraid, but neither our weakest.

You can be more efficient than a Berzerker warrior or elem but you need to put thrice the effort into it when it comes to dungeons. Now talking about a decently good warrior or elementalist and yourself being on a higher brain standard.

Bad Warrior > avrage Engineer
Pro engineer > bad warrior
in terms of PvE.

Lifestealer.4910:

Seriously it was a mistake to buff turrets. Why would they buff turrets, anything that uses AI to do all the work for you should be weak or else it totally ruins any sort of skill encounters in this game.

The engineers turrets do not scale.
I repeat, they do not scale.

Engi is just as predictable…
And not even a bunker decap engi is as easy to play as an hambow and do well with.
If engi werent the least played profession i swear they wouldnt be a problem cuz ppl would know how they work…

mrauls.6519:

You make it sound so easy Noha, but it isn’t that simple. Engies have too many gimicks

Many, most gimicks. But thw worst stunbreakers and conditional removal out there.
Just like how thieves have a hard time surviving in dungeons, or mesmers having bad travel time(strong in combat though). All classes ans specs have weaknesses.

If you wanna complain about it.. Complain about the oh so common hambow… Press 4buttons and win games (on an avrage level). You can even complain about how necros are so unwanted in dungeons. Everything have weaknesses.

Engis are acording to plenty of polls the least played profession. Ofcoarse people find them op if they dont know how they work.
Stun and dump conditions on an engineer and see em die.
Is it a turreteer? Kill the turrets.
Bomb bunker ? Snipe them.
If you chase an engi on his node you make it simple for him.
Ever played LoL? Think of em like a Singed withsome non scaling turrets.

thats sad.. Thx for answer anyways.

Hello fellas, i did some googling and scrolling the forums about if you are able to use just certain parts of “complete outfit skins”.
For example, Can i ONLY use the Mad Kings boots skin on a character?
Or am i simply restricted to hide/show Gloves, Shoulders & head?

Would love an answer, and if you CAN use any part you want any way you want, please tell me how ^^

oZii.2864:

It has to be a full set of 1 type? Soldiers

how would you have it if you got to mix them yourself then?

Hello fellas!

If you could pick ONE armor set for an efficient D/D elementalist in WvW, which would it be of the following:

Soldiers (pow, vit, tou)
Knights (pow, pre, tou)
Cavalier (pow, tou, fer)
Berzerker (pow, pre, fer)

Im taking it for granted that the armor is equipped with Strength/hoelbrak/Scholar.

Focus roaming, small scale battles, not leaving you a complete lackluster in zergs!

Cheers and joy to all of ya!

vinceftw.5086:

Hey, would you care to elaborate on how to power level? I need 7 levels on my guardian

Engineer currently is the stronger of the 2 because they can apply intense condition pressure. Eles are mostly power based and require more skill to play since you have to manually aim some skills (Burning Speed and Fire Grab).

They are both a ton of fun and the main difference is that an ele goes through certain rotation, depicted by his attunement cooldown and the engi has more freedom. He can use skills that best fit his situation.

What the ele offers is a amazingly fun playstyle with D/D although still underpowered. I’d go engi.

Thanks for the comment
Yeah ofcourse, about the powerleveling!
A birthday booster will greatly help you out in edge of the mist.
Run with the zerg at all times, try to tag as many bosses/sentrys as you can and just..
keep with the zerg You cap so much all the time that you will just skyrocket in exp and karma AND badges!

Personally i got almost 800 badges, 60k karma and almost 20 levels in 3hours

1. Booster if possible!
2. Stay with the zerg!

Its really easy

Edit:
And its better the earlier in the game you join i.e. Every game last 3hours, so try to join when it says 3hours remaining time Cuz ppl cap like crazy at the start!

Hi there fellas

Im a decently experienced fella, no impressive AP or ascendeds/legendaries for that matter though.

I´m sitting on an 80 mesm, war & engi.
Currently im powerleveling an elementalist in EOTM (its just.. wow guys. Try it out if you want to powerlevel! possibly 20levels in 3 hours!!)

The questions are the following:
Is the elems flowing movement and skills worth the loss in CC, condition dmg and versitality (locked range)?

I know elem and engi discussion never ends.
I somehow feel that the elementalist piano playstyle is easier than the engineer aswell, which probably invests in the “flowing” feeling.

What does the elementalist have that the engineer doesnt?
(except 50k crits with hammerbuild and fully buffed)
(… and lack of Condition builds)

Pyroathiest.4168:

Shatters do not proc clone death traits. It is never worth shattering them for raw offense, only to interrupt your opponent or for distortion.

Wow have i missed out alot! You made me a mile wiser. Thx for the quick reply!

Hi there again fellas
I got my somewhat geared trollzerk mesm working in about any scenario, kittenter, PU and with phantasms.
What i dont get working right is my condition build.
Ive read about all worthy guides out there etc. And thanks community for helping me get there btw!
But about the conditionbuild and the shatters ; is it like ever worth shattering as condition without traiting into illusions? (That probably came out wrong.)
Cry of frustration seems weak compared to the other shatters even with a rabid focused gear + staff, scepter/torch with same stats.
Is it better to actually let those staff illusions do their thing or are they worth shattering with the upon-destroyed-apply-cripple+godknowswhatcondition traits?

Tl;dr
20.20.30 / 10.20.30.10
Cry of frustration worth using with condigear n traits benefitting illusion destruction? (NO POINTS IN ILLUSIONS)
Or better let those staff illusions apply their conditions from aa?

/noha

Hi there fellas.
Im sorry if this question have been repeated before.

Will the on hit(crit) trigger at your character or at the enemy struck?

i.e. Imagine a mesmers attacking from range with a GS with one of these sigils, will the aoe from fire or strike from air be centered around the mesmer (and in other word miss the enemy, or will the on-hit effect be straight up on the target (fire aoe spreading around hit target, lightning strike directly hitting the target)

Love and joy bros and brohinas.

Ait, thanks all for the quick replies

If all you’re after are stats, then CoF gear is fine. Also, you can buy it from the TP for a few gold a piece.

What else is there to it than stats?
Looks?
Im nub 80 sry.

Yep just looks. And ascended eventualy (if you want it)

Here’s every armor in the game so you can start planning a look for yourself. Be aware you can mix and match pieces from different sets which often looks better imo than a full set

Thanks for the quick replies
One final question for anyone who bothers,
its the same question but about trinkets, rings backpieces etc.
Where do i get pow,prec,crit trinkets for endgame?
Thanks for clearing up some stuff for me

Hello there fellow mesmers!
Ill keep this short but to the point for all our sake

Ive been 80 for a some days (game time), I have some tokens from almost every dungeon, with CoF tokens taking the lead with a few hundred.
I made a mistake to buy the full set of Karma armor but whatever.

I want to deal damage, so im aiming for CoF zerker set and i know which runes and traits weapons to utilize.
But the questions is:
How do i proceed to gear up? Keep farming CoF and buy the entire set?
Fetch some runes from the Traders and farm dragons/dungeons for money?

tl:dr
I dont know how to be 80.
Where and how gear up and get cash?
ps.
I know what stats im after (power, prec, crit dmg)

they cant. the carts are on the top top of the globe – over 2k (the term we messure distance in).
its literally impossible to reach them unless you get UP on top of the arena, which wont happen because constant fire from an unreachable arrowcart or 2 will kill you before your mobility spells are off CD enough of times to even get you halfway up the puzzle.

comeon guys, bump pls
/sad player

Hey there, i just dont find a reason for why the arrowcarts in the puzzle that are built on top – way up on the roof still manage to shoot through every piece of rock in the room.
I have no problem with the ones that you build on the ramp etc.
But you know, its unrealistic and unfair to put it simple – that once you get an arrowcart up on the “roof” (you know the arena is like a globe or something with some cracks in it every here and there) no one else, ever, never gets by because you can literally hit the ones that still are in the border between the dark room and the arena/spiral room, and from there almost every spot in the entire room.
And i mean, sure id be ok with it if you could just by ANY chance manage to pass through the room and get up there, because 1 single fella shoulnt manage to be a lone duck sitting on top of the globe and shooting arrows that magically move through the roof and any rock in the room (and almost the room you just came from).
Thats alot of crying from my point of view.
Sorry for sounding like an angered kinder, but i just havent been able to complete the puzzle for a week because of 1 single fella found a safespot with his arrowcart in the arena and have been camping there ever since.
