Guild Wars 2

“go backstab their face” -awge.3852

Been a sword dagger fan for quite some time now. (Crafted Bolt w/AC dagger)

I just wanted to point out two things

1. Nike openly admits to exploiting
2. He is in an elite PvE guild, but complains about a patch that makes you play CoE as intended. (for the shame of all DnT)

Nike Porphyrogenita.8137:

HELLruler.4820:

Oh, thank god they fixed that

I agree, having a halfway decent alternative to CoF was terrible.

Tough times when you can’t exploit eh?

I have a jetpack and I can say that they do not have any noticable particles as of yet. I did notice particles on the gloves thought. (Drippy)

-Beep Beep-

OK so it turns out they updated my new legendary again!

Bolt now shocks things to death! woot

A: S/D Flanking Strike

Unblockable and removes boons

There is a patch coming up that is changing this skill not sure how much of this will still be valid, but as for today you can hit Guardians my friend.

loads flamethrower
What we have here is a fine example of OP’ness

This + Executioner + Exposed Weakness + First Strikes (30-30-x-x-x)
50 + 20 + 10 + 10 = 90% That damage seems like it would be too much, even with it being conditional in my opinion.

I am curious what all is being used for the calculation.
Traits, Food, ETC. I wonder because I want to double check and make sure nothing is missed.

Does this include WvW bonuses?
Does this include All Ascended Gear with Proper Infusions?

Any extra info would be appreciated

Source for the info pls

Hi,
Since you are going for magic find I will suggest an Opal Orb in your other weapon.
(not sure how much you are dedicated to MF, but there are weapons with built in MF as well.)

I use the spider bow which has 3% mf on the weapon and superior Sigil of Luck. When the luck stacks are at 25 I swap to another weapon with MF on each weapon and Opal orbs in them as well. (I don’t wear this set anywhere but in CS

If you want condition damage from the sigil I would suggest looking at the givers weapons (they have 10% condition duration built in) & one of the following

-Sigil that procs a condition on weapon swap
-Sigil that has a bonus to your conditions
-Sigil that on swap give you back endurance (more dodge caltrops)

All of these options fit your criteria GL

I would suggest if you want to use MF and clear a dungeon you try some fractals. This will certainly put you to the test depending on the difficulty and the rewards scale up to a point (somewhere around 40-50).

Loot
-T6 Mats
-Upgrade components for ascended items

Mastruq.2463:

I hope they come up with a new batch of legendaries before the end of the year. Truth is while we have one for each weapon type each of the weapons is fairly distinct, and with the huge effort involved I’m not going to make one I dont find appealing. So I want to put in the effort but the selection currently available just doesnt fit my the style of my characters mostly.

I know how you feel, I got the Dreamer, and Bolt because I think they look really nice. I personally don’t like the way the incinerator looks, so I am hoping for new Legendary Daggers, & while I wait I am working on Quip.

Nachtz.4930:

My GM got 10 clovers on 20 tries (recipe for 10 clovers). So basically, 1/20 success rate.

I have a guildie who used the 10 clover method and got clovers 80% of the time! She so lucky (she has Dreamer, Incinerator, and Quip) – Lin I’m so Jelly

OP- Try the single method to be safe. (You will feel more rewarded – I know I do even if I am just stashing a few clovers a day)

I am thinking that we will be able to get it from the new dungeon this month.
(They mentioned having some limited time rewards)

Also OP I would suggest if you like the new skin better use a transmutation stone GL

Not sure who Phira is but I recognize Shadow Espada in there (dat gate killer)

Let me know if you need one Phira Shadow knows me I have this feeling that if I would have accepted his tell the other night I would be in that video instead of the warrior

I first made the Dreamer with the old effect and I loved it!
Then they updated the Dreamer and I went bonkers loved it even more!
Now I have finished Bolt and I could not be happier with it.
(Lightning Aura FTW! <3 whoever made that aura so much!)
Next up Quip! (30% done)

Long time investment, but when I think about how I will have this for the rest of the game and it will auto upgrade I am satisfied. (also keeps me busy)

Tip if you are hard core farming for a legend and start to burn out like I have teaching new people how to run a dungeon or an aspect of the game can be fun, and productive. (You get to laugh at them and help them become better players)

I spent a while teaching people how to run CoE for Lodestones and occassionally they would give me a core or lodestone for my patience. (never asked for it – gladly took it) I would always make sure at the beginning and throughout the run to mention I will buy any cores or lodestones on the grey market so we both get a better deal.

I was working with guildies and teaching them so there was no concern about a bad trade on the gray market.

My theory is that we will keep the legends we have now, and when they introduce new weaponsets they will have “New Legendary Skins”.

“Do you know if there are currently any plans to add new weapon types to the game in the future, be it in a distant update or even a later expansion, or is this something that you plan to avoid?

Jonathan: This is something that we definitely want to do. As a lot of people on the forums have picked up, the system is pretty much designed to do exactly this. For instance, you can just give one of the classes a new weapon and all of a sudden they have a complete new way to play the class that interacts with the utilities, the heals, the elites, and the profession abilities. But it’s one of those things that we want to wait on until the time is right. We still feel like there’s some work to be done on the traits for all of the classes and getting those up to par. And again, going back to what we talked about in the first question about making sure that everybody has a lot of viable builds – we want to make sure that that’s the case. Once we feel like that has settled down and everything’s got a really good feel to it, then we can start talking about adding new weapons. "

Hope this helps
Beep! Beep!

+1
Anet has arealdy said it the game was designed to allow adding more weapons.

I can’t wait until there are new legendary weapons! <3

I echo the OP’s concerns about transmuting a legendary.

I am colorblind and I can attest that the above statement is off topic.

I use ambush trap when farming.

The mystic forge stone counts as a random item.
When used in forge you get the average rarity (E+E+R+Stone = Exotic)
I hope this helps

“An alternative is to have two amulets; a non-infused version with your expensive infusion for pve/dungeon farming, and an infused version for fotm. That’s my plan, anyway. One day…”

I have a Triforge with the Gilded Infusion & a Beserker Amulet with +5 AR/ +5 Power

Legendary Armor
Makes you look like a Care Bear & when you shoot The Dreamer it comes from your stomach.

Click for Example

Rising Dusk.2408:

Seriously, just make the bridge event mandatory in the short term before a full revamp and that will patch up a major part of the farming that goes on until the whole of the dungeon sees the revamp it was promised. I think that’d be a good compromise.

I wonder if the footprints being short are intentional. I feel the footprints I leave with my bolt are gone sooner than the ones left by the greatswords. I wonder if we are meat to have less footfalls since the legendary weapon’s we have are one-handed vs two-handed.

Armor Repair is the real hard penalty

*Note If you are in a BL and a Queue Pops for another BL you will not have damaged armor even if you leave mid-fight.

I would love to see the damage brought back up on PW as well.

Burst to strong – Nerf PW 15%
Burst to strong – Nerf Quickness 50%
Buff PW – +50% Damage? (ok we all had a laugh now, but really buff PW pls)

I have been wondering if Sigil of night stacked with Sigil of Smoldering. Is this confirmed?

Hi , I will try to address your concerns.

“The dmg is low and stealth debuff need to get reverted to 3 sec again. "
Thief Damage is actually high if you specialize for it.

“The 4 sec debuff screws our rotation. "
True this will take practice to re-learn to play

“Thief got no support thats good/better then other professions. "

Stealth is good support, Our Stealth is better than Mesmer Stealth
Vulnerability is good support, not better than other classes
Poison + Weakness is good support
And our dmg is now lower then most professions by a large margien,

“on top of that we are one of the harder pve professions to play and can easily get 1 shotted in some exp mode dungs. "

This is just a QQ I have an easier time on my thief than I do on an engineer
*Note I have not tried engineer since the patch

“Why bring a theif instead of a warr?”

Your group wants to skip some content – Stealth
You want higher DPS (Conditional)
You need a wall which a warrior can not bring
Access to Dark/ Smoke fields , but I will stop here as I feel I have backed up my statement.

“Sadly if u wanna be able to play this game in non noob grps its time to reroll warr or mesm…..”

This is also QQ It is certainly possible to play this game in non noob groups, this really comes down to who you know.

OP I hope this helps give some perspective. If there is anything inparticular I could do to offer help let me know I would be glad to. GL on your Journey in Tyria!

There will be a lot of complaining, however that is primarily what you will see in forums. If you want useful forums I suggest joining a guild who has their own forums for tactics and strategy. I echo several of your statements, however I also realize that when someone reads this they are going to be insulted. You are bashing the whole of thief forums essentially, and that just rude on your part. Now to address your issue.

I would suggest for a low level thief to try using the shortbow until you have learned how to handle kiting multiple mobs. Circle kiting seems to be the most effective since the mobs take extra time usually to turn and move forward.

SB3 will give you an evade when you need on and are out of dodges
Pistol Whip also offers a very nice evasion while doing DPS

Give these two a try and let me know how it goes. I know personally leveling up I used the shortbow often until I could get adequate gear since it gives you so much more survivability through evasion and positioning. The Shortbow Combined with the Sword/ Pistol for PW makes you considerable more survivable.

GL

twoscoops,

Good News!

Anet has not "completely nerfed our dungeon viability ". I did at least 5 dungeons yesterday and I was more than viable, I was optimal!

I agree the guardian should get some quickness love as well.

We get access to quickness though an elite & I think that this should be considered and buffed.

So if I want to hit a target with BV who has stability I have to use Flanking Strike.

• noted

Have it your way.

Hi Toast!

I am going to quote posts you have made in this thread and give you my perspective. I mean to do this in a calm professional matter and I hope we can have a good discussion.

“So, as a whole, legendary weapons show your mastery of: Doing the same events repeatedly, buying things off the TP, using the forge, and farming. If that’s supposed to be mastery of the game, something seems off about that.”

“my main point that the very method of obtaining legendary weapons goes against their description and the philosophy of a “grindless game” still stands.”

“It’s a grind, there’s nothing legendary about it.”

“The main point is no matter how you go about getting your legendary, what it boils down to right now is doing the same things, over, and over, and over. There is nothing even remotely “legendary” about this.”

“You could do something different every week instead of zerg in orr, zerg in WvW, play the TP, run CoF P1, etc.”

“Personal story is honestly too easy for that, legendaries would be everywhere if they did that.”

Summary

To get a legendary weapon you have to grind the same things over and over and they should not be so easy to get that everyone has one.

As far as doing the same things over and over. It is possible to do this however the primary way of getting a legendary is:

Gift of Mastery –
Gain XP, Gain Karma, Explore the World, Jump/Defeat Enemies in WvW

Gift of Fortune-
Spend Money

Legendary Weapon Gift-
Mastery of a Dungeon, Mastery of to crafting professions, Spend Money

Precursor-
Luck/ Save for it

How you go about doing all this is up to the player and how they decide to play.

I think the way it is currently limited to keeping everyone from having one is the high cost associated with a legendary weapon/precursor. There are other way it could be done I suppose , but I find the current method is working well. I do not see everyone with a legendary weapon.

What do you think could be done to make it so everyone is able to get one, but prevent the majority of players from having one?

I look forward to your reply

Paralyzation & Air/Night

1. 3 second disable
2. DPS (Air-Very High Crit to trigger it)
3. Flavor (I am working on Bolt and I just love hearing the Sigil of Air “Zap” them)
4. DPS (Night- For the Night Cycle)

I could also see a good case for

Sigil of Rage
Sigil of Fire
Sigil of Impact

No! – Unless I got hit by a buggy Guild missions (which is totally possible)

Last night I did the following

1. Logged on
2. Represented a Guild I wanted to do guild missions with
3. Guested to that guilds Server (Main Server is JQ, guested to another server to meet)
4. Participated in Event
5. Got rewards for a Dynamic Event, did not get the “Good” Rewards

Good Rewards
50 Silver
Chance at precursor / Rares

6. Logged off with a sad face.

MY experience

1. Represented guild and bought influence until we could do the Guild missions
2. Guested on that Guilds server (My home is JQ, and I guested to this guild’s server which is not JQ)
3. Participated in Event
4. Only got credit for a Dynamic Event (relating to the guild mission)

Is this working correctly? Do I need to rep the guild & have the same home server?
or
Is this a bug that got fixed and I just missed out since I was an early adopter?

o/ Hello I just wanted to report a bug I encountered.

The game crashes when putting equipped armor into bank.

-The setup-
Bank Tab open
Hero Panel open

Click & drag armor that is currently equipped on your hero and place it in a bank slot.

This will cause your client to crash.

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I manage to get 10 rares on average in a farming stretch on Cursed Shore.
The best places for me are the Spider at the south camp, and the plinx event right before and right after the roflcopter. GL

That vendor is back btw

Hey Anet for a laggy crashy event that I didn’t get the end reward for can I get some love? like a 20 slot and karka exotic? I did kill a bunch of Karka and all

This is terrible news for me. I participated in the event for a while then lagged really hard. I read about this with the excitement of possibly getting a cool exotic! I no longer have a chance to get it Anet pls bring vendor back at least long enough where someone could farm 1k shells.

Now how about getting a story armor back piece back?

When Defeated Armor Breaks… that is all

<3 ArenaNet <3 Linsey <3

I am wondering about the Triforge Pendant though. Currently it has the most stats for an amulet. Will it be outclassed or scaled up?

I am curious how much Karma you can get from a “Jug of Karma” with the outmanned buff
