Guild Wars 2

Have you learned Balance Stance itself? Not sure if that’s a requirement for it to work or not. I never really used the trait, with the fact it triggers from the first cc ability to hit you and that massive cooldown… I’d rather just hotbar Balance Stance and use it when I need it, not take a gamble for it to trigger at the right time.

The damage trait is also rather iffy.

You’re really not hitting disabled targets that often.

Spinebreaker, for example, hardly knocks the enemy down long enough for you to even get one hit in on them as they are disabled.

I assume it is intended; it is how it works if you transmute a green and yellow item and keep the stats of the green….

First you get Knocked down as normal, which activates Stability preventing any further Knockdowns as per the ability. Then the ability goes on a 90 seconds “hidden” cooldown before it can trigger again.

It just gives you Stability, basically.

first check if those are not souldbound

They are, but there are ways around that.

P.S How do I make it an imbedded video with the funky coding on these forums?

RNG per say is not gambling.

It can be used for gambling though.

Rising Dusk.2408:

It works, it just doesn’t update the tooltip in your hero profile. This is a known graphical bug, and affects many sigils / runes.

and Traits.

Haste.8610:

So the question being. Can you purchase all of your Orders armor as soon as you join them?

Yup. Only problem might be getting to the Whisper’s HQ as it is in a 50 or even 60 zone.

If I remember correctly.

As much as I dislike Asura, Zojja would win. She is an Elementalist. In lore, Elementalists would wreck almost every opponent, of course not in-game because of balance and game mechanics. The only other magic user in Destiny’s Edge is Logan, and he still wouldn’t stand a chance against an Elementalist. An Elementalist vs a non-magic user is like a super hero vs a normal person.

Magic powers or not – A sword in the gut is still a sword in the gut.

But to get the sword in the gut, you would have to close the distance. And by that time a elementalist would have… Well you know.

That’s why Rytlock is the only Warrior that can use a Pistol.

To discourage Zojja from having any funyn ideas.

Charr are good at what they do, but that’s the only thing they do so it limits the race severely.

Asura on the other hand are generalist who tinker with all manners of things and while this leads to a lesser success-rate, they are in my opinion far “smarter” than Charr because they aren’t as simple-minded and are highly inquisitive.

I play a Knight’s build with Omnomberry Pies.

Dungeons are rather special.

They seem impossible at first, but once you learn the encounters you can do them blind-folded.

If I see that effing bear one more time…

yawn

That’s supposed to be scary? I’ll take that doll over Mr Fisty the Norn any day of the week.

I think this screenshot speaks louder than a thousand words. Same as my above post, it concernes T1 heavy cultural Norn shoulderpads.

B-but they’re Norn Cultural shoulder pads…

Are you suggesting that Asura have infiltrated Norn society and applied their technology on Norn equipment?!

The only white-haired character I have is my Norn Necromancer.

Why?

Because Diablo II, that’s why!

I would eat them all to gain their power.

How do they work?

Juvenile female Quaggans are pink.

Adult female Quaggans are not.

Many sleepless nights Quaggan has spent on this conundrum, ooOOOOoooo….

I find it sad how you can change your gender, but not the name. Not really a total make over then, is it…?

ThiBash.5634:

Also, it could just be me, but it feels like, when the player gets knocked down, it takes a lot longer to get up then when the NPC gets knocked down. Worst of all, many npcs are immune to our CCs yet happily spam their own..

Nah, it isn’t just you. Even the longest of player-based Knockdowns don’t get anywhere near the duration of the shortest of mob Knockdowns.

I find it more fun to level up doing them, but I guess you don’t “have” to.

..window is open. I never had this before, it is really weird. I haven’t changed software nor hardware and this just started happening out of the blue.

Really? I found that CM is the worst, period. All the Bleeding/Poison stacking before you’re high enough level to have reliable Condition removal…

The horror!

AC story really only has one hard part; the Lovers.

But they can be defeated relatively easily regardless of levels – all you need to do is read up on what you need to do there – spam them with Boulders. AC story is really, really easy because Boulders ignores Defiant stacks so you can just have to people chuck rocks at the boss and it can’t do anything. Also, you can’t expect it to be as easy as exploring the world. L2P should apply to dungeons.

P.S – Have you done HotW recently? Fimbul has been buffed, significantly and the “bug” with Aldus spawning infinite Elite adds that teleport all over happens almost every single run.

Thord.2017:

I have the Toy Soldier and the Infinirarium (maybe what you call Golem?).

The toy soldier is excellent, I love the animation so I doubt I will find anything better.
The Infinirarium just floats and follows as far as I can tell, can’t get anything more boring than that so vendor trash.
I have looked at that floating Rubik’s Cube from the Asuran Instance, looks pretty weird to me so it is more of a PS on my letter to Santa and only there at all so I can have the full set.

Infinarium is not technically one of the Toys, as are the Snowman and Festive Golem (and Foostivoo).

I don’t get your point…?

AC story mode is easier than HotW exploration, naturally.

They call him Mr. Fisty

My List:

Plush Griffon
Toy Soldier
Princess Doll
Toy Ventari
Toy Golem

The Toy Golem was a real letdown. What does it even do? Doesn’t seem anywhere near as fun as the others.

DuhGeneral.8940:

This would be amazing right here i never undetstood why it did the wrong animation…

Just fix the tooltip instead, problem solved.

The current animation is lame anyway…

To make a long story short; the Charr discovered that horses were incredibly tasty… unfortunately.

They are balanced for their proper level, not 80.

AC is a walk in the park at level 80, and a proper challenge at levels 30-35.

Your problem is being a Thief; Thieves get insta-gibbed in most dungeons of they attempt to melee, sad to say.

I do HotW a lot and it is even worse since all the Svanir/Icebrood enemies seem to only have ONE sound effect for when they get hit. So it is not

“Uhh, ohh, argh!”

It is

“Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!”

Maddening to say the least.

Stability skills have enormous cooldowns, hardly suitable for farming.

I swear, no human was involved in the recording of that sound.

It is a very small dog of some sort that they tazed repeatedly.

… I’m guessing the original poster hasn’t been to Orr yet.

Yeah one of my biggest gripe with GW2 is the “CC-spam equals challenge”-mentality the programmers apparently have adopted. Look at the three Orr maps for an extreme example. You can’t go anywhere without being Crippled, Chilled and Pulled all over the place! Get off me you freaks!

It is a challenge, sure, but it is a cheap way to add artificial difficulty and in no way a fun challenge for your players. It is anti-fun to the extreme.

Anyone else getting a “Horde” vibe? Y’know, survival against waves of enemies?

The removal of Trahearne-or-what’s-his-name and making it truly our personal story would do wonders, I reckon.

Won’t ever happen though.

But still…

Read the disclaimer on the chestpiece.

It is intended.

How do you survive? Coming from a Warrior main, I just keep getting smushed. Not by grabbing aggro, no, but because my Thief alt gets killed if an enemy as much as farts at her.

Like AC, where most of the Gravelings have sweeping auto-attacks; even if I try my best to stay behind them, at one point they will inevitable turn (even if they don’t intend to attack me) and down me, perhaps kill me even if there’s more than one…

Anymras.5729:

I like ‘em anyway, though they could use some more differentiation, yeah – although, the Charr are also generally masculine-looking, only showing that the female are not-male by the females generally having more graceful head shapes (lionesses as opposed to fugly lionmen). Male Ogres apparently also have spines sticking out of their backs, but not females, so that’s…uh…something. Just not much at all.

I don’t mean just “looking the same”; it is the same model but with different voice!

Raebfle.5914:

The others would have to as well

No, they would not.

The Rare set for the lower level dungeons make sense.

The Rare set for Arah makes no sense at all since there is no reason to pick it over the exotic other than you being stupid.

By the time you do Storymode for Arah, you probably have way better gear anyway – I bet 100% of those helmets go straight to the bin/salvage.

Even if giving out the Exotic helm may, may, be too much, a one-time deal of 60 Shards of Zaithan would not.

Re-read what I wrote.

Over and over until you get it.

It could be worse.

It could’ve been a Quick Time Event!

Kikyo.6438:

Dont talk me about MF because i am full stuff MF with approximately 150% MF.

MF is offically broken. I think there’s an official statement somewhere.

Farmed for days with MF, not a single Lodestone.

Killed a Corrupted Quaggan on my way to HotW dungeon in my regular, non-MF equipment an lo’ behold, a Corrupted Lodestone.

When you are turned into a ghost in AC path 3 as a Light armour profession you get an awesome bucket/helm on your head.

Anyone know if it is obtainable under normal circumstances?
