Guild Wars 2

SyZ.7920:

80 a week, no idea what to do

Well seeing you only finished your “intro” so to say, I guess you ignored the advice to check dungeons, wvw crafting and so on. It clearly didn’t make you wiser, The NPE (new player editorial) seems to have completely missed you or vice versa.

SyZ.7920:

People say farm for a legendary … so my two options as a ranger are a bow that shoots flowers or a different bow that shoots unicorns … really?

Well I have the flower shooting bow for my plantling, eh sylvari. And TBH, you could get 2 GS’s, dagger, axe, sword, warhorn, torch as well…. It is about the skin, not about stats, as they are equal to ascended gear. No gear grind. Oh and I forgot: a harpoon gun and spear…

SyZ.7920:

I’m really into collectibles, and it seems like there are just miniatures or skins. I haven’t seen one miniature in 2 months of playing this game and don’t even know where to get them,

Miniatures you buy on the trading post or get then from events, skins can be found anywhere from basic to extravagant. In achievements there is a collections list whcih can be added on by random drops, forgetting the collections, there is also dyes, gear, just plain money (200 gold will earn you a title) world completion and on and on.

SyZ.7920:

I’ve spent none of my karma or laurels, because the gear I bought for 3g the moment I hit 80 is better

Doubt so. depending on gear, you could buy very nice exotics for karma, or dungeon tokens. but you still need runes, decent weapon sigils and unlock your build. I do not think you have an ascended zerk armor, with full offensive and omni power agony infusions accompanied by 3 or 4 dungeon longbows. dunegon sowrds and duengon axes, with full sigils, full infused ascended rings and backpack and ascended accesoires
with either strength or scholar runes. If you do make another ascneded sinister with runes of the krait for your condi trapper/pet build, with corresponding weapons and jewelry.

SyZ.7920:

I’ve done a few fractals, they’re fun but don’t seem to have any story or rhyme or reason to them

Well fractals are shards of the past. and you can do them and they are glimpses into events… most of them quite a while back. there ar e quite afew and they’ll get more and more dificult starting with rank 10 upwards to 50. 1-9 is the training, the intro so to say.

SyZ.7920:

Done a few dungeons, they’re fun as well but I don’t think I want to grind them 75 times farming materials

75 times? I ran AC about 2500 times now (counting paths combined) if not more, it is a source of income. It has generated me about 4000 gold… not considering drops. (99% of that cash is gone and vanished into 2 legendaries, and my skins/dyes and vanity items)

SyZ.7920:

My gear sucks for PvP, I don’t understand the point of WvW, and as far as I can tell there are no raids or anything to work towards

Gear in PvP is free and can be changed to anything based on exotic stats, it’s only exotics and it will stay exotics, due to balancing. you will not have stats on you gear but just on 1 big jewel. in effect you only change sigils and runes and the jewel if you want to make another build

SyZ.7920:

Should I just quit?

If you cannot do anything with the information 40+ ppl tried to give you I think I’d advise you to take a breather, retry once more and if you still fail to see what could be fun, I gues you should pass to the next game… Like I said you just started.

afk… yes well I’m human, I need to go to the bathroom as well, sometimes i need assist my wife with diapers or make sure something else (doesn’t) happen(s) , I generally use the waiting time for the choppers for it if it’s something small and the labyrinth and/or reset for something big…

I wonder… Things to do? You could learn the game.

PvP has completely different gear sets then PvE, and you can select them for free (PvP window). Goal is to get dragon rank in the future.. GL with that my friend.. ~maybe 1-2 yrs?

PvE is a pass-time. You can try to earn some gold or work toward dungeon skins. Or do whatever makes you feel you are having fun, if you cannot seem to have fun, well… then this game which should eat away at your time while having fun is maybe not your thing. Main goals in PvE tends to be to get full exotics/ascended, get exotic/ascended weapons. Do achievements, go and find all jumping puzles, diving googles, mini dungeons, focus on some collections… Unlock all your traits. If you played DPS (which is so for 90% of the people) go and try some hybrid build and familiarze yourself with conditions, or combo’s.
You could farm Silverwastes for a while, do all boss achievements, get lvl 49/50 fractals, become dungeonmaster and later on dungeoneer. it’s up to uyou, not to me. I played 6000 hours now in 3 yrs. And still there is stuff to do. I do have 8 times world completion myself, and 15 characters. Get emperor title, or collect all dyes for all I care.

WvW has a set goal, due to the fact is sets a common goal for the people on your server, IF your sevrer is a WvW server. The goal is to reach as high amount of points in Borderlands, EBG combined. in an open PvP world where all PvE gear/materials/gears/foods/buffs are used, You could learn to play condi here in roaming groups (2-5 man groups) instead of zerging. If you do not want to feel obigated to get tick for your server you can always go EoTM after reaching rank 1300 or so I guess you should have most WVW traits unlocked as it is now, whcih should take you ~a year

Or you can roll alts and do your story once more. get world completion, craft all legendaries (well you will need 10 characters with full map completion to do so… have fun)

Or you can just hange around the forum waiting for the expansion of course

Like most MMO’s this game is a dress up game, as we have no gear progression, the only things whci aree worth playing for is skins and dyes. Which happens to include legenadries and many skins parked at vendors, karma, or otherwise.
In WvW, there is a starter collection at vendors in WvW and lastly you could get some otherwise not available stuff from PvP

Builds:
Longbow/Shortbow for ranger is a bit strange, as it shows you do not understand why you (should) use certain weapons yet. Shortbow is a condition based weapon, which tends to couple well with axe/torch and axe/dagger, longbow is a DPS weapons whcih tend to couple with Greatsword and Sword/axe. Of course feel free to use a warhorn, it can be of use while running for map completion and so on. Axe tends to work well for pet buffing as well as does Sword.

Zerk armor is the reason I guess why you would camp bows in the first place, zerk for bows is nice, but doesn’t show skill. Just another (Bear)bow. try to get yourself immersed in the versatility of your character. Tweaked builds on other sites seem nice but often are not to my taste due to the fact I play different, and slower/faster or more or less glass and otherways not fitting/becomming a build.

If you want to run glass make a sinister set as well and experiment (PvE/WvW Zerg) or when you want to try condition get a rabid set and try it out for fun (roaming WvW, not for or very niche pve)

And aside from Dungeon -nobody- cares how much dmg you do
You do enough to stay alive or fail. whic h is no problem in PvE but in faster runs in dungeons it is.

Dungeons:

Noobz, Newbz and Casuals run
all level accepted dungeon runs requiring:
no builds, no gear, and no, maybe a basic familiartity of mechanics

l80 dungeon runs requiring
a decent build, lvl 80 exotic gear and a basic familiarity of mechanics
Wiping is normal, leavers as well, but most press on.

Veterans run:
l80 exp dungeon runs requiring
a decent build, lvl 80 exotic gear and a good to intricate familiarity of mechanics
rarely disband, sometimes wipe

1337(leets) and Wannabees run:
l80 zerk (-meta-) dungeon runs requiring
a full dps (-meta-) build, lvl 80 zerk exotic gear and familiarity of mechanics

l80 (zerk meta) speedrun require you know all, have maxed out gear for tier of dungeon, know what you should do, and if it goes awry your can improvise and stay alive preventing wipes and clearing dungeons is as little time as humanly possible.

last 2:Often requiring gearchecks, will kick noobs, and disband after wipes. mostly warrior, eles, guards, thieves, sometimes a mesmer (seldomly rangers, mesmers and engineers though speedrun tier seem to care less.)

You still are a bit obsessed with the AP’s and your exclusivity, Malediktus.

I also played since headstart, and am at 17kAP now. never had much with PvP,
My AP’s come from PvE and some casual WvW (Roaming and PPT in BL’s)

I’m not an AP hunter though…

If HoT is released I Expect to earn another 8-10k AP in a year maybe 2, in Pve, and this should be enough for 1 Full set of armor.

If not who cares?… It’s not like it’s the only 2 armor sets available..

Oh and yes I got most if not all AP for all LS1 and missed some on some events. I have some problems ingame due to the fact I have epilepsy and cannot stay fully focussed at all times. (Making the aetherblade JP generally a 1 hour nightmare, and sometimes I finish it in 5, maybe 7 minutes), all timed content is a pain. I tried liadri 102 times the first time before I killed her, second Time I gave up after 87 tickets.

Not all people play with ease. Some seem somewhat more obsessed: AP is not a score it’s a checkoff list.

“Who cares? I’ll get there eventually!” said the turtle PaxTheGreatOne to the hare Malediktus.

You must have your thoughts flying all over the place…

Winged quotes like this fly high above the rest…..

@ IrishPotato: Pay to WING

Let’s see how much updraft this quote causes….

This thread could reach higher amounts of hot air then most though..

I’m out of strange floating thoughts…Guess my thoughts crash here…
Maybe only airheads like me like this thread…

Well META seems shifted a lot

2 ele, 1 S/* LH, 1 staff DPS, (2 staffs will work as well)
1 warrior for banners/might upkeep, Phalanx Strength GS and whatever.
1 or 2 guards to make sure the ele’s are safe. S/F GS
0 or 1 other proffesion often thief for invisibility, or sometimes mesmer for portal… feedback. even necro engineer and ranger have a place.

For 25 might, fury , +320 power +170 precision, added ferocityand a resbanner, 1 or 2 walls of reflection 2 or 4 stability

Also the dmg has shifted.
MOST: ele/thief/ranger/engineer/guard/warrior/necro/mesmer: LEAST

IMHO energy as such was implemented in thieves as initiative and in the revenant as we are led to beleive…. even though the concept is not fully used in all builds I still some of it made it into gw2.

If you want to stretch the concept even adrenaline is comaprable, though only for 1 skill

Well I’m using gem store armor with ingame armor mixes on a big part of my chracters.
And I sometimes see people wearing something partly the same, but I remain UNIQUE, and I get head gear I want.

I do not wear generic outfits with no customisation options like all people levelling alts which is carried by a big part of the community due to the fact they do NOT have to use transmutation charges. I just couldn’t care.

I have 2 outfits now, There was a halloween outfit I got it, and I never use it as it is more ugly then lvl 0 basic armor, and I have the "vampire’s dress which was hyped to the level of a -1 euro store- item due to the fact eerybody and their neighbour bought one.

The dye channels are FUBARRED, colors seem to be modified again and again leading to frustrations: I have all dyes, why can’t they look the same in all channels…(I understand the difference between leather, metallic and cloth, but even within cloth there are color shifts. hue changes and color flips…)
This completely destroys the “ease” of the dye system well let’s see which one of the 304 dyes will I need to complement the other part of my outfit in the same shade of Fill in color here." Not to mention the gem store dyes…. I have at least a legendary’s worth of gold spend on dyes…. I cannot seem to use a part as colors are modded and modded, so gray is black in one channel, silver in the next, matte grey in a third….

In the end I bought some armor sets on the trading post and even though I haven’t used some of them , I do use single armor skin parts for mix and matches, I found I didn’t mind only using 2 ,3 or 4 pieces and leaving the rest unused in a bank tab, while I find the gems paid for the outfits the most useless purchase I made, except maybe for the bag slots which were on my 2 deleted characters.

Giving the impression the outfits are for people with no ingame cash, no real life cash and no interest of working on something Unique, In a game where looks are the true endgame.

No More Outfits would be a start, converting all outfits to armor would be a great addition. Reintroducing the town cloting as ARMOR would be a 3rd!! Then you should have things abit more on track IMO (yes: No IMHO).

The only thing standing in the way of personal stacks is EPIDEMIC.

/2 cents.

playing highest highest, and my dc’s always follow a pattern in whgatever game moment: laggy gameplay, followed by some huge lagspikes, and then a DC due to lost connection… it’s not my PC, it’s general connectivety. Be It my connection in the game, my modem/router box thingy, mY ISP fubar-ing stuff or A-Net having a server patch moment/too many people, a DOS or whatever other BS…

If you can get back in the map you’ll get the boxes you and others earned…
When you get into an overflow though you lost it all. unlessthey killedf teqw as well…

Make sure you have a party….

Find a guild, get 1 or 2 lvl 80’s

Do dungeons for cash, world bosses for fun and world completion for the show

Get skins dress up, enjoy yourself

Enjoy WvW, PvP and PvE if you do not like something pls remove it from this list, if you have none of 3 left retry or move on.

Major changes: wardrobe, dye list, transmutation stones, introduction of outfits (800 gems), change in daily, addition of southsun cove, Silverwastes, dry top, fractals, aetherblade jumping puzzle, aetherblade path in TA. Introduction of Edge of the Mists as additional wvw map. Perma tools, salvage-o-matics…..Finishers, mail carriers, Former Magic Find armors/weapons/trinkets have been replaced by selectable stat gear. Introduction of luck, Ascended tier of gear (very timegated, very expensive), Guild Missions. Replayable Living Story Season 2 (1600 gems/ all 8 episodes)

You should try to find something you like. Zerk meta is rampant in PvE.

Maybe you have that understanding but I see people in bottom afk-ing aftyer they ’ve slain the boss, so it always seems a BOT lane to me… NOT meaning bottom. (Even to a point I was defendikng it from an arrow cart and had 2 active defenders while all others were eaten by 2 champions. Trust me, I res without hesitation, except that time. I guess some 30 ppl lay down there and were screaming bloody murder.)

Well…

Regarding stats I think everything has been said now… The classic battle between “zerk = meta” and “anything is viable in PvE” has been here and chewed to a pulp and been spat out just to be rechewed again… a few dozen times.

Problem is though some organized play makes zerk preferable. But people forget we also have solo play, and while you can probably do anything solo with your zerk ele I must say I had some rough times using my ele solo in LS s2 with it’s full zerk build. Okay if you cast your MS and do not get interrupted you melt everything…. But… Some things just do not work well on a staff ele. So I used D/D for some.

Changing from staff to D/D is a change of builds. Even adding a ranged weapon to a warrior is a change of builds.. As all meta builds are melee only, even to an eextent where a ranger carries a LB with 1200 or even 1500 potential range into melee for vulnerability stack.

While Meta is nice I sometimes change builds, 6/5/0/0/3 for basic warrior dps can be replaced by 6/4/0/0/4 if you have more focus on axe… or 4/4/0/6/0 or 0/5/0/6/3 for Phalanx builds, but I play shout heal hammer sometimes in EXP dungeons just for fun which is a 0/0/5/6/3 or other hammer variants (4/0/6/0/4) hammer&axe/mace just because it’s possible.

Elementalist is also more ten just 6/2/2/2/2 or 6/2/0/2/4 for DPS or 0/2/0/6/6 support.

Stats are a choice for a build:
weapons, with certain weapons come certain stats.

S/S warrior could run 6/5/0/0/3 np. It can also run 2/6/0/4/2 (bit more utility) or 0/6/5/0/3(bit tanky adrenal health, cleansing ire) it’s all completely non meta, and it honestly doesn’t matter. If you’ve done AC 600+ full runs you will know good ol’ zerk is fastest, I run dungeon build zerk-meta 95% of the time, but I have ran it with all my characters with so many different builds, with condition setups in zerk groups with healing builds

(Yes, full glass healing is possible….now with even more healing to allies, (+25% from aquatic benevolence, sigil of benevolenceo or life (well if you’re mad enough, i still prefer bloodlust), runes of the monk and rice balls…. for a 1.25*1.1*1.1*1.125 max addition to your “healing build zealot monk 0/2/0/6/6 staff ele” for a whopping 70% added to your staff healing or nomads/cleric’s “commnader” guard mace shield build (0/0/6/6/2) with a nice 1.1*1.1*1.125 for 36% healing gain….) Well trust me your friends will not die on you…. And no it’s no max dmg build, not by far, but it allows others to do whatever the -bleep- they think of…. as long as they do not fan out.) I do not think you will come close to the contents speed record (nomads/clericsmace shield does about 15% of the dps of a zerk meta guard and staff healer ele will be about 40% of a full zerk ele, but they are nice to faceroll EVERYthing with a beer and some laughs… As long as you’re not in a hurry)

We had a evening in one of my former guilds where we rolled old armors and builds (1st year) and we had clerics warriors, knights builds, cavalier/zerk builds and so on. This was nice, showing all builds are perfectly viable, just when you enter a zerk party just make sure you are glass (which means no TOUGHNESS!)

Well I liked certain parts of the story line, but even though i’m fond of sylvari, I really got fed up with Trahearne about the 1st replay (have 15 lvl 80’s and finished story 15 or 16 times now (deleted 2 lvl80 chars))trahearne was a unneccesary person in the storyline, and a frustrating one at that. Any commander could have been way more charismatic then trahearne would ever become… even if he lived to be as old as ancient sequoia’s

I loved gw1’s story though and was captivated untill I stopped playing a couple of days after i saw Gwen marry Thackeray… and gw2 started (3 yrs later.) I bought gw1 from a sale costing 7,99 euro I haggled and I payed 4,99 euro in the end which was the best price/game hour played ever in my life….

Gw1 only had 2 or 3 minor deviations form the major story line. even though all stories depended on which place you started your game (either ascalon/shing jea isle or kamadan…) but they all intertwined if you wanted and all chars could travel everywhere and do all lvl10+ missions

I love celestial with divinity for my ele (also have additional celestial trinkets and celestial asc. staff), and some Dragon’s Revelry Starcakes/ Birthday booster… Utility will stay sharpening stone…

I use it when a pug group turns out to be not what I’d expected and I stay completely unbuffed and unsupoprted in my zerk/scholar.. or when i need to solo where zerk is a true liability, and I do not manage it with food.

Well, I normally run 6/2/2/2/2 or 6/2/0/2/4 with zerk, when the party is trule green and in dire need of support I can change to 0/2/0/6/6.

Bloodstealer.5978:

PaxTheGreatOne.9472:

depending on your goal, much more might be possible then you think

Power is only 1 of the ways you can use to buff your damage potential, and a lot of people ignore conditional (when target has condition/below x health) or weapons based bonusses, +5%, +10%…. even though they stack multiplicatively, also might is often forgotten as an efficient way to boost dmg for solo play.

Most builds are very viable, but most people just want 1, 2 maybe 3 main builds for pure DPS, if you look at WvW you’ll notice the variety of builds is much higher, people actually use condition builds for solo or small group play.

Not so though in PvE as the majority of people has been led to beleive zerk -meta- is the only way to play. This makes healing builds, boon/buff builds an unwanted stain on the set of people who are led to believe conditions have no function (while they depend on vulnerability, blinds, chill, stuns, dazes and weakness to stay alive.)

The difference between a zerk- meta and a speedrun group is the actual knowledge of conditions and applying them. DPS is partly gained by your build, but most is gained by efficiently supporting eachother.

OK lets tell the other 150+ players beating down on a boss to please work their conditions efficiently.
Sorry but I disagree with you.. the build diversity in GW2 is amongst the worst I have ever come across in an MMO in over 10+ yrs.
There simply is no need for Ferocity, Precision is more than enough. Healing Power sucks donkey and conditions builds are completely inefficient in PvE when Jo Bloggs the zerk warrior can make my necro conditions count for nowt.
Every class has the ability to push out a number of conditions whilst performing the tasks their actual build is meant for thus creating ineffective condi builds – simply put GW2 has inherently awful game mechanics when it comes to conditions.
The game is centred around zerk build 99% of the time, even much of the content is eered to this safe thinking to the point that bosses now have large condition invulnerability modes built into them (kicking condi builds in the face that little bit harder).
So yes I actually agree with the OP and others here.. the whole build diversity in GW2 (PvE) is a pile of Quaggan poop and needs a thorough rework by people that actually have a clue on what diversity does for an MMO…

I do want to say:

You do not seem to have read what I posted now did you. You saw conditions and are completely focussed on DOT not being usable. I never said It was. I just said people do not think about conditions. You proved my point.

The conditions I mentioned were chill, weakness, vulknerability, blinds,and CC’s, and poison as a healing inhibitor.

Where in my whole post did you read bleeding , burning, torment, or poison for the DOT?

Just for the simple explanation, weakness destroys the ability to do crits, 50% of all other hits will fumble, meaning 50% of dmg, effectively cutting enemy dps in half , blinds cause misses iwhich deal no dmg, vulnerability causes additional dmg, 25 stacks of vulnerability will cause more dmg to target 25% to be precise, CC’s will interupt and make enemy not able to perform their skills (as long as defiant isn’t a problem) and poison will reduce healing by 33%, chill will add 66% to cooldowns…

This is what I tried to explain. I didn’t say you should go rabid or dire in PvE…. builds are more then DPS or CONDI….

And just to really say it once:
EVEN THOUGH CONDITION DMG SUCKS AT ZERG EVENTS, IT IS VIABLE FOR ALL SOLO AND SMALL GROUP PLAY. (Sinister can be very interesting if you are bored with zerker, zerker, zerker.) A sinister mesmer AND (warrior or) necro can be an asset for a dungeon run… as long as you do not have people in group who trigger bleeds on crit (engineers, rangers, warriors) and you can get your bleeds up and do a sustained 4k bleed/tick with 1 warrior, excluding burning and torment, a classic terror necro build can do even more DOT as well as impeding heals… and the torment/confusion based mesmer will NOT overwrite your warrior’s or necro’s conditions or other way round. A fully buffed condition mesmer can run as much as 2800+ condition dmg or 10+k dmg on skill use when he gets up 17 stacks of confusion or burning for 1.1k/tick, torment will do ~4000 dmg /tick as well… Only interference will come from guardians who will (in the end) benefit from 100% burning uptime and it will be seen in dps in the end, also the fact most guards will be able to spam F1 directlky when possible will add good might to the party as well. Flame away.

But I do know a lot of people couldn’t care. Zerk is very nice… but far from the only option. And builds are FAR more then gear choice alone.

depending on your goal, much more might be possible then you think

Power is only 1 of the ways you can use to buff your damage potential, and a lot of people ignore conditional (when target has conditionm/below x health) or weapons based bonusses, +5%, +10%…. even though they stack multiplicatively, also might is oftyen forgotten as an efficinet way to boost dmg for solo play.

The difference between a zerk- meta and a speedrun group is the actual knowledge of conditions and applying them. DPS is partly gained by your build, but most is gained by efficiently supporting eachother.

So to abbreviate,
GW1 players play as group together being lvl 20 in instances with max 4-8 ppl
Gw2 players play alone together being lvl 80 in open maps with max 125 ppl

the amount of skills in gw1 was tremendous, there were also special skills tied to factions or races which could be very intersting…. the one calling your spirits from kurzick/luxon did make ritualist/* instant OP for normal mode… Signet of spirits…

yes… yes… a time gone by. Sometimes I log in to visit proffessor yakkington in pre searing… loved the area. with little Gwen…

I saw Gwen marry Logan.. it was in my last week before gw2 started the prestart,.

It felt like some kind of achievement. I got icegloves, firegloves, chaos gloves and all.. I had good builds with decent weapons. But the story was nicer, more detailed and I sometimes miss the lore in gw2.

Gw2 looks nicer you can jump, swim, and the AI has less problems with height difference (trying to kill people with bows in gw1 could be tiresome, but realistic, the arrow dropped with distance travelled. so people on hills were having range advantages on people below… )

I am missing 34 dyes in total…

I was biuying them slowly, but now this created a big rush.. All the ones I’m missing are BLTP dyes from special duye kits, luckily I already have the 20 most expensive ones… they seem to have gone up quiet a bit as well..

Guess I need a precursor drop to buy the remaining dyes now..

I do love the fact I can preview everything now.

the math adds up.

And lastly if you have someone who thinks of it, it can outheal most guardians as well.
but it will lower dps a bit. Only thing it cannot provide is aegis and stability.

And less dps
And no reflection
And far less blinds
And no cleaves
And no party might
And no protection

But otherwise its the same

Well I honestly do not care for guardian staff.,.. or ppl should be very used to switching, as I expect most if not all guards to tun S/* and GS… except in wvw.

In dungeons I hope most might comes from ele’s before combat and from warrior during combat. But is someone is quick to swap rhe additional 12 might can be useefull on top of the 14 might from the warrior (if double banner or #5 banner) and the 9 from staff ele or 15 from scepter ele. (or if 2 ele’s why would you swap? as you fail to provide fury….)

And yes for the protection 4 times on wells…. not extremely long but enough to be annoying,

problem everybody always says necro bad.. necro’s main weapons will never be dagger, it is a good weapon yes, and it will be your main weapon but it is only part of your attack capability…

It is deathshroud 1 and 4, and 3 or 4 wells, and even 4 maybe 5 marks, if you know howand where to place them .
The fact it can run zerk and leech enough health to stay alive and with full dps stuff they will do quite some dmg… a lot of which aoe. dagger = 2 or 1 target(s), all wells and marks are 5, life transfer/transfusion is 5, they can all be targetted…

And lastly if you have someone who thinks of it, it can outheal most guardians as well.
but it will lower dps a bit. Only thing it cannot provide is aegis and stability.

What ele is for pve is necro for wvw.

Elementalist

guaranteed highest DPS on AOE’s…

When fully buffed with dungeon gear you just ask the rest of your dungeon party to look out for you so you can wipe everything….

1 problem…..: very squishy when glass….

I think this game has one of the easiest ways of getting experience, no matter what kind

Be it :
XP (from almosty everything) foor and utility will add 21% for a few copper, guild tends to add, banners will add..
Karma (from all events, and drops), run the eotm train to nowhere
Laurels (all ascended jewel stuff, but mostly amulets )well logging in is enough, it’s a shame there is no other way to earn one or some laurels a day anymore. but you’ll get more then before
WvW tokens (cheaper ascneded jewels with laurels): run the eotm train to nowhere/ or go WVW
Guild commedations (ascended trinkets): well do guild missions
Skillpoints, scrolls are abundant in champion boxes
Dungeon tokens (exotic armor/insignias). well from level 35 you can start gaining dungeon tokens.
pristine fractal relics (ascended rings): from l80 you can earn them

You could even get lvl 80 without fighting by just ressing people, crafting, harvesting and exploring… quite alot of hearts have alternative stuff so you do not een have to fight.

Oh and the NPE as such isn’t that bad, the removal of the old trait system was… It was a major mistake, levelling when you know what to do (dungeons/ EotM/and running around the map opening waypoints and poi’s and the vistas AND HARVESTING/crafting) willlevel you a character in 20-35 hrs to 80. If you are playing for a while you can level even faster as you could stock up some ToK (now with the max 16 ToK you can get a 28 days, you should be able to level quite quick already depending on how much time you have, and when you do get your celebration booster and know it will stack with food and normal xp boosters you should figure out you could be able to earn 170% of normal XP just by stacking them and going into EotM, just make sure you can salvage all stuff you do not not need to wear.

I have been in wvw since I noticed I needed it for map completion.

Yes it can be a problem… BUT I learned so I took my alts to wvw much earlier. To a point where I sometimes unlocked the whole wvw before I was halfway done with the PvE side.

Prblem arising can be you are always the same border… (borders change weekly, based on server performance… If you are allways spot 1 you will always have green…)

It happens for the bottom ranked and the top ranked I guess, though I generally am able to cap almost everything EXCEPT enemy garrisons (well a.k.a. their main keep)… the rest is flipped quite often, or I just tried to sneak in behind an enemy zerg (works well on thief and mesmer) with stonemist and towers you only need a poi in this can be timesaving… )Those garrson keeps are generally only available on (color) switch, or on server with a lot of potential…

I used build wit a high amount of swiftness, and stunbreaks & condition removal. getting cripple or chillled… well tends to be fatal. In case of no swiftness use invulnerability (aegis/stealth or invisibility)

And where you canot hope to beat enemy zergs, you can alweays try to sneak by. You need 2 ppl to capture enemy camps, but if you only need the PoI you can just run through it.

I learned quicly that defeat in wvw isn’t as bad as dying in PvE. Most builds are build to last and with most pve builds you are way out of wvw leagues… As all builds are based on a lot of power AND a lot of toughness.. leaving a PVE Full DPS (often glass) build at a disadvantage. For roaming condition builds work… for co-operating in the zerg use some added toughness, glass will fail not only yourself but will be a big problem for the people who you are running with. You’ll need at least 2300-2400 armor to have some survivability. (unless you are a thief I guess)

The skillpoints are easily captured and the waypoints are given freely, leaving you only with the vistas… which tend to be problematic. during mornings you can be quite succesfull capping vista’s running ssmall roaming parties with guild cata’s… (expensive though, and a bit frustrating on fail)

Now have 8 times world completion on 15 chars

And last: fighting 1vs 1 can be ok, but as an enemy you tend to be points, and loot, so enemies will flock to fights and sometimes hunt you (especially if you are not fast), and there is no shame dying to the enemy zerg, 1 vs * …. well GG… You will not avoid your death, die honorably, fighting and enjoy and laugh if you manage to get one down… as it shows you are more powerfull then * of them.

I woul repeat thing said before but.

On character you can get 100 slots after a while withoiut paying.
In your bank well 30 slots
4 alts 60 slots if you go really cheap
guild bank 50 slots…
——————-+
Total 420 slots

And when you get at where I am today 3 yrs on
On character I can have 160 slots *15
In my bank 12 times 30 slots
no alts anymore
guil bank with 250 slots…
—————————+
for 3010 slots…

Unfortunately I also have a lot to store so I have left
~85 slot per character
~10 slots in my bank for swapping
~125 guild bank
——————+
for 1410 available slots….

So I have 1600 slots filled on my charaters in total with mostly useless souvenirs and tokens from content long gone., useless fractal rings, unused skins……. foods, 2nd, 3rd armors, alt weapon sets/trinkets, WvW siege and salvage stuff…

Thats 100 slots /character… or about the base storage per character… After 3 yrs of playing and hoarding like a madman…. I could easily throw away the contents of 4 oi 5 bank tabs without losing someting actally worth cash ingame…. like I said it’s memorabilia…

The more storage: the more junk.

Just so you know why. They just sold you the outfit and forgot to add the back -.- now they can earn an additional 300-500 gems… 1000-1200 gems for a nice outifit I wish we could just get armor skins … I would love it if it would come with a free “white” edition
though.

Also Having 1.5 M angels with halo’s and 1.5 ppl running the black wings will not improve your experience…

ANGELS & DEMONS 2 ?

To be honest I actually like the raiment of the lich and the black feathered wings as separate items. This way I don’t have to wear wings with my outfit, and I can wear those wings with any other look I’m going for. It’s a win-win when you think about it, cause outfits DO limit your uniqueness a little bit.

I wholeheartely agree with the fact outfits are no very customizable…. (I do not like them) And thus I like the wings as a seperate backitem, but IMHO they should have been part of the raiment of the lich outfit package in the first place… As a seperate backpiece…

Even though there might not be more content, I’m not on the airship to certain doom yet.

I like to go and sit down for a moment, DEAD-END BAR? (with kas, marjory, braham, rox and taimi) and share memories of living stories, (say 2 seasons worth like chapterized and all) so I can relive it ingame.

Instead having to point people to youtube to show them why things are as they are ingame, oh… Stories unlocked should be those of season 1 and all locked or completed season 2….. not unlocked uncompleted. Oh and I’d like somthing more then just some outfits and refurbished old content parts.

I want to play the game. These 1 hour shows saying stuff that can be summarized in a post less length off an ingame message are not content. They are ads.. And I stopped watching TV due to ads… So be mindfull in saying your shows are something

I watch dvd boxes now, no more annoyance or tv on demand…. or digital video. I will see it 1 day later but I save myself a lot of time, For your shows I use the dulfy backup… Thank you dulfy, and that_shaman precognition; thank you as well…

And BTW, I do not mind the bartender having the best selection of brews and firewater in the whole of Tyria and it’s allied regions…

ehm, a condi necro?

Yeah the thing that spams fear, poison, a million stacks of bleed, freezes you and basically everything that hinders you and hits like a truck especially at 25 corruption stacks.

Yes and good counter = a condi necro…. now you again. or stay away from it max range an pew pew it to death…

ehm, a condi necro or a 1500 range LB ranger??

Condi necro so you can regift the conditions with offhand dagger, utilities and staff 4, sigil of generosity

ranger so you can shoot it from far far away.

And in the end you cannot see your own combat due to the wings flapping around everywhere… Be happy with this set.

Foresight:

“Forget melee and just go range else you will not be able to see the telegraphes of the bos anymore behind the party’s wings…
-Oh my Another wipe, why won’t they listen…”

/Oh and even my necro’s are amazed about what you puled from the grave: You could be the next Zhaithan

Angels and Demons 2…..

Well in this case It should probably be other way around:

Demons and some Angels maybe 2….

http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Raiment_of_the_Lich

Just so you know why. They just sold you the outfit and forgot to add the back -.- now they can earn an additional 300-500 gems… 1000-1200 gems for a nice outifit I wish we could just get armor skins … I would love it if it would come with a free “white” edition

ANGELS & DEMONS 2 ?

Well I understand guilds get influence based on completed activities (read world bosses, events in pve/wvw, battles in pvp) and therefore it shouldn’t matter. Unless you have a guild filled only with people who log in and spam chat in LA the whole day and log off again. (flippers?)

I guess noone told you, that the TP is easy and convenient, though taxed it doen’t have a way to bypass you…

I just hope you didn’t think you could get a precursor easy, and lost 300-900 gold… or sell a precursor easy.. and lost the equivalent of said gold, And if so I hope you learn from it.

Maybe the other guy will get banned (for a while or permanent) and I don’t hope it has to do with RL money, as it will get you permabanned. In all cases it wou;dn;t have been a problem if you would have sold it on the tp.
And as for fees to post it: if you played for awhile there is aften enough of value in your storage to make almost ANY sale possible….

When I sell my bank and sell my dunegon tokens (monthly) I often gain 50-100 gold in one swoop…That would allow me to sell something for 500-1000 gold. and in the end I would get less then the full amount But I would still get a LOT of money, safely.

I just made a quick calculation based om my luck I have 204% base.

204% is about ~1.4M luck
300% is about ~4.3M luck
difference ~2.9M luck

when salvageing ecto’s you’ll need ~29k ecto (116stacks to be precise)
which cost 80 gold a stack which will cost ~9.3k gold (~2-3 legendaries)
Gems cost 1366 gold per 9999, so you could but 68k gems for this price.

68k gems is 812 Black lion keys…. or 85 salvage o matics/armor skins/perma tools/character slots… If you actually did this you either have no life, are a above average flipper

I do not mind you rushing it, just to show you cannot think of any use for your time ingame (maybe other then leeching the communicty to ingame bankrupsy by flipping on the TP)??

Oh And I do not mind if Anet uncapped it at:
(“normal uncapped value for 301 and on”) times 10
, so you could enjoy getting your 301 for 2 million base…

Enjoy your HoT time flipping till 400. Oh and why rush it. It will not actually give you much benefits.. you could wait a few days and get a celebration booster to see it’\s mostly -mèh- anyways.

Well To get back at an interesting point

I play in multiple guilds. I have explained my guild leaders I’m not going to represent them unless playing with the guild

Why?

- I have 5 dungeon characters, meta zerk (W,N,R,G,E)
- I have 5 WvW characters, meta WVW (W,N,R,G,M
- I have 5 characters with “personal builds”, They do not fit any meta (W,N,R,T,E)

I represent the PvE guild with the 5 dungeoncharacters, mand most of the time with the 5 “personal builds”. I represent a WVW guild (depending on which day for whcih of the 2 is raiding) with the other 5.

If I would play both types of game the same amount I would rep the PvE guild 60-66% time and the WvW 30-33 , the other 1-10% is my guild bank mostly…

So whatever the case I will not promise people I can rep 100%. I also find moist guilds can say they are true PvX and WvW and I know they are jacks of all trades, being everywhere and mediocre in most areas. I do consider me a versatile player, not leet or something but quite often online. I know most dungeons I like by heart and head. I know most tactics in Wvw, though i sometimes queue up with the worng character /-.-
If people say they need 100% rep to stay alive I honestly wonder: Why?

Verata, Shiro, Rotscale, yes saw ’m already

DHUUM… well him too, but:

Kilroy StoneKin?

-I’m Male, 40 yrs old, Dutch
-I’m no longer able to work, due to a minor stroke @ 23yrs old. I have tried though.
-I used to be an Oracle/ArcGis specialist. I had problems remembering variable names,,
-I didn’t finish university , I failed when I was 23
-I used to row at national and international level, I had to retire when I was 23,
-I’ve got a very bad memory de to the stoke, and I have epilepsy since I was 23, not operable, non repsonsive o medication, medication free for the past 4 years, suffering numerous attacks (absence/petit mal, daily 4-12), partial attacks mostly cramping of hands and feet (once every few days), partial complexattacks once evey 2-3 weeks, luckily no more tonic-clonic seizures for the last 4 years now, I often suffered series of TC attacks and have been in hospital dozens of times, and been given up more then once…

-I also have a personality disorder not otherwise specified, but containing parts of PostTraumaticStressDisorder, due to suffering bullying, including physical violence for several years, mostly by a select group of people, leaving me afraid to go outside, even now 25+ yrs later
AutismSpectrumDisorder, which is probably a misdiagnosis due to the fact i fear people so much, and going out, and talking to strangers.
HypoManicDepression (MDD), which causes mood swings very bad ones…

-I have played computergames from the age of 5, maybe 6. on z80,8080,x86 for the past 35 yrs….
-I have coached rowers, both students and veterans (40+) for 15+ years, even though I find the personal bond difficult I enjoy coaching the rower(s)/team
-I am married, I have 2 daughters, 4 yrs and 6 mnths
-I am 2m04 tall. 6ft7 if i’m correct
-I weigh about 125kg, thats 25kg more then when I was in my WC team.
-I love anime, comics (european), movies (sci-fi, fantasy, war)
-I’m not allowed to drive cause of the epilepsy, I ride bycicle (I have a HUGE city bike, with a trailer for my kids or another for cargo or go by public transport (which I hate, due to the fact I am forced to join into te crowd)
-I own a German Pointer (short haired) He’s white/brown, 6yrs old and warns me for epilepsy attacks (no training, way to accurate to be coincidental) and he is the main reason why I go outside, other reasons are groceries at a local market, and bringing my daughter to and from school.
-I loved to read in my past but cannot remember enough to fully enjoy books anymore…. I sometimes try though. Favorites are Dune and Hitchiker’s guide to the galaxy and it’s sequels, on TV the series I love: Mash and Dr. Who, I do not care for many other shows…. unless Anime, I’m watching anime when not busy with wife and kids, walking/entertaining my dog or playing gw2.
-I love a wide range of music….. classical, jazz,folk, alternative, light metal, electronica, house, I have listened to a lot. No clear favorites though, It seems to shift with my moods, and having MDD it tends to vary, I can listen to Sol`ey and move on to beastie boys or marilyn manson then switch to radiohead and spice it with some prodigy before some miles davis and topping it of with vivaldi… all perfectly normal.
-I play PvE and WvW… mostly to do something….

I will see. I own the Kudzu, plant bow which tend to fit well on my sylvari and have the meteorologicus which I find beautiful as well

I do not care for the present GS’s nor the moot, quip, the ugly unicorn shooting thing.

I do like the hammer, though it’s not my personal preference,I like the predator, the bolt and the shield….. others well…

I will see what will show up now. I do not have any influence on the skin, even if I was to provide the drawing myself… It would still leave artistic freedom to the skin programmer/ designer.

Well if a-net is predicting a very big q3:
It will be here ,either end q2 or start q3, most likely...

I hope their financial consultants are intelligent enough to consider the fact ppl enjoy holidays (between end of june being end q2, and mid to end of august middle q3) and putting it into shelves in september will make making huge profit in q3 difficult so I expect HoT (maybe end of May but) probably the middle of June: just before the actual holiday season...

It would lessen the pressure on the servers if a part of the community is enjoying a nice holiday.... (which would be a misconception probably IMHO)

You’ll find weak minds everywhere… Maybe they were nightmare court sympathizers.

Well make it plated armor SKINS please. So I can still be different from all others, instead of JUST another lookalike…

you might reply: "But hey you can dye it… "

And it’ll still be a different colored lookalike….It’s just an opinion…

Outfits are Meeeehhh……. sigh.. Yes they are a free way to look nice while levelling… true,…

But I have 15 l80’s and am saving up tomes for a posibe new profession (yes…) doubt I’ll need a outfit when I take 3 minutes to level my new l80. I do need a decent armor so I can stand out with my proffesion, which (almost) everybody wants…

I’m not going to worry untill I’ve seen the other proffessions’ specialisations.

I expect some auto’s/skills/utilities to be reworked and traits added… I hope we will see less condi on hit for mandatory (minor) traits and more conditions added to traits for condition builds… Also having 3 million revenants instantly will cause some interesting poblems.

If A-Net would make revenant so OP all other profs would be useless they would have destroyed their PvP aspirations instantly, nobody wants to watch revenant vs revenant for an entire tournament..

^ Well you are right for the most part, earth elementals tend to have above average armor pools as well… so with your dps/condi hybrid there are already 2 types of enemy you’re actually more effective against

SLOW if implemented will make condition builds a bit more viable, due to the fact zerks are slowed down ( a bit), while applied conditions continue to tick.

RESISTANCE might seem a countermeasure, but as long conditions are put on hold so not ticking and additional stacks can be applied it could turn out to be a serious double edged sword… (imagine 25 stacks of bleeds, 25 vulnerabiliy, 15 torment, 10 confusion, and burning weakness, poison burning blinds cripple and chills (oh fear/terror?) to be applied at the same time whie you have the illusion you’re safe… You’ll be able to attack, have no penalty and on and then… your boon runs out and: you suffer a 7000+ dmg/tick, 9k hen moving, 6000 dmg on skill use, you cannot hit someone to remove conditions, cannot use heal, cannot run away (fast) though you’re forced due to , have longer skill recharge… keep in mind confusion will likely spread to other proffessions as well…. leaving conditions no longer a stack of bleeds and 5-7 torment with a poison or occasional burning…

TAUNT can be countered by putting an interupt/ CC skill on the autoattack (staff 5 for necro (enjoy, fear or terror?), hammer 4 or 5 for warrior (Oh I was pulled… now I knocked you back), evasive shot for ranger (Hi! Bye!), or just a powerfull auto (sword warrior), (sceper necro), (scepter or staff for mesmer)….. to give some nice condi’s in return

Oh and I doubt implementations of new conditions will autodestroy the present zerker preference ingame but it could change the meta, though the only change might be the need for a (decent?) (AOE) condition removal…

I’m an active member in 4 guilds, in 1 I am coleader in 1 I used to be officer, now member, in 1 I’m guild leader and in the last I’m officer.

I notified all guilds: I’m happy to perform tasks for the guild mwhen i’m representing.
I am in 2 WvW guilds (1 casual (co leader) 1 more hardcore (pending officer atm),
I lead another guild but it’s a bank guild grown out of proportion (used to be 9 members at max, now 2 remain maaybe some will return at expansion),

The one I was officer in I left for another guild, I where I was officer in a bit later as well, but it died, mostly due to the leader who was playing multiple MMO’s and took part of the guild with him on his quest to quest in other mmo’s, and I returned to the former one, being coleader and offi already in another guild I denied the offer to get my position back.

All have 1 rule: When playing with guildies or join with ppl of the guild : Represent.
No 100%, the pve guild does not wvw and vice versa. I do prefer 18+ guilds, but It’s maybe because I’m old… (40) of course in PvE I rep the pve guild and in wvw on of the 2 wvw guilds, I only rep my bank guild when i need a guild cata… or need my bank.

It’s good that way. If you think 100% rep is needed to keep your guild seemingly alive then you are already on the wrong track. trust me.

I’ve been leader, coleader, 3 times offi at the same time… Guess ppl trust me…

I do not care and will not enforce 100%, I will also not be botheredby guilkd who say it’s the only way. PPl should tag up with the guilds I’m in because they want to play with the people. If not: something is wrong,

Sometimes people want a guild due to the same gameplay (wvw,pve,pvp, dungeons, bosses, rp) sometimes it’s a social thing (same language, same country, same interests) but there should be a bond. Else there is no reason to group up. The Tag can be so nice but if you’re not getiing any pleasant feels move on.

Well… Even though I do not care for the trinity system I DO think there is gain in conditions, healing and booning/buffing people…

I read to many people stating: well I cannot go anything but zerk cause I need my DPS …..
I’ll be honest if you never lookied beyond zerk you are either very uninterested in this game or to brainwashed to think there are alternatives.

Interestingly enough conditions are a main part of the meta. Damaging Conditions not as much, but they still prove to be interesting…. And I do not consider poison a damaging condition but a utility. Same for confusion, and torment…
Other gear specs can be very interesting…. provided your party is able to think instead of spamming their sequences & rotations like macro scripts.
I run zerk meta builds as well but also DPS EXP (as opposed to ZERK META) builds. Most of these builds are build around Zealots, Sinister and build to be more supportive and build for team play…

I will lose a couple of seconds each boss but we still 1 trap the ghosteater, we kill kohler in a couple of seconds longer but we survive without problems even with 2, 3 or more whirls, we can carry lvl 38’s trough AC and still 1 trap the ghosteater…. Why?

Cause the builds allow non exp to make mistakes. A LOT of wannabees carrying zerk are people who do not have a clue about decent running. I seldom see buff stacking, shielding, heals, walls, movement impedes… TBH I only see invisibility from thieves mostly, seldomly from engi’s. I see people nagging about going down and too low party dps while not even running food and utilities…..

When running ded food and weapons in night dungeons you’ll have a boost of 33% dmg, BUT force and bloodlust without food gets ONLY 11%, force and ded will net 26.5%

Yes 15% down the drain or more 5 ppl with ded weapons can function like 6 without preparations… (Of course this is fully applicable to zerk as well. Just to shake your minds up)

Some suggestions:

Zealot(/zerk)(monk) staff support ele 0/2/0/6/6
(access to SUPERIOR AOE healing, might buffing, protection/AOE condiclears, vulnerability, Icebow,blinds and so on)

Zealot(/zerk) (dwayna or pack) d/f staff Transfusion well/mark mancer 3/0/5/6/0
(also usable as clerics for a really durable support character in wvw)
(access to SUPERIOR AOE healing, protection, condiclears, boonstripping, vulnerability, Interupts, AOE blinds and so on)

Zealot(/zerk) (your choice (monk?)) Staff/SF Guard 2/5/0/6/1 (4/5/0/1/4 for SF GS version= inferior)
(access to SUPERIOR AOE healing, protection, (condiclears), vulnerability, Aegis, AOE blinds, reflects,stability and so on)

Sinister Hybrid (strength/hoelbrak) necro (3/0/5/4/2)(axe/staff well) or (0/6/5/3/0) hybrid terrormancer
(poison/bleeds/torment/vulnerability/(blinds/terror))

Sinister Hybrid (strength/hoelbrak) Warrior (2/6/0/4/2 (dungeons/support))
(burning/ bleeds/torment/ immobilize/cripple/ perma small banner(s), might stacking (12minimally (f1 LB, bow #3, bannerdrop, banner #5, FGJ), fury….

Of course these hybrids are semi condi builds, BUT a boss will not reset untill conditions time out….Necro epidemic an have a 1 MINUTE Duration….. So if you might wipe you can run back to the boss and reengage without having to start again…. without speed (doubt you’ll need to rerun though) Max 1 condi/hybrid/group Oh and mesmers using confusion and torment are not yet overwritten….

Oh and trust me if the resistance only put conditions on hold….. conditions can prove to be way more powerfull, as ticks are not affected by SLOW…

+25 condition dmg
+10% condition duration
+50 condition dmg
+15% condition duration, +1 second slow duration
+100 condition dmg
+125 power, all movement impeding conditions cause (cripples, chill, immobilize) cause slow for 2 seconds

Might be nice… really wondering what this would cause on necro’s, rangers and warriors

Also
“Fanatic armor”: Power/toughness/condition dmg….
“Warped Armor”: Condition dmg, condition duration, healing
