Guild Wars 2

Stealth? Don’t even get me started..

Main idea was that thieves have spammable eviscerates which is somewhat unfair.

Unfortunately thieves have a spammable eviscerate (Heart Seeker) that’ll make any Warrior jealous.

Gear doesn’t matter? Gear makes a huge difference. I remember me as one of the first lvl 80 Warriors in WvW with exotic gear and doing 5 vs 1. The good ol’ days

Could work but youd be slowing your team down.

Doesn’t cost much for exotic set compared to Legendary Weapons. I’ve seen people aiming for Twilight before getting exotic..

Twilight costs 1000g while getting an exotic set (get berserker armor set from CoF tokens) won’t cost even over 30g.

Using the info provided by wiki:

Chop: 252
Double Chop: 538
Triple Chop: 858

Time to complete chain: 3.5 seconds
DPS = 470.857

vs.

Lightning Swing: 358
Static Swing: 358
Thunderclap: 586

Time to complete chain: 2.5 seconds
DPS = 500.7692307692307692

Conclusion: Lightning Hammer chain > Axe chain

Now Axe chain vs Hundred Blade

In 3.5 seconds, Axe chain deals 1648 damage.
In 3.5 seconds, Hundred Blade deals 2030 damage

However, Hundred Blade only happens around every 6.4 seconds.

First 3.5 second:
Axe -> 1648 damage
Hundred Blade -> 2030 damage

Next 9.9 (time to cast Hundred Blade again) second before Hundred Blade recharges:
Axe -> 1648*2 + 3013.486 damage = 6309.486
GS -> 2030*2=4060+ (259+259+333)*2.56 =6238.56

— Conclusion: Axe deals more damage even with Hundred Blade casted twice and me ending the calculations there. In fact, I even forgot to calculate the delay for Hundred blade which is probably around .37 seconds. That would happen twice so GS would lose around .74 seconds of attacking. I’m thinking Whirlwind attack would even out the damage. But then again, a warrior can do Hundred Blade -> Whirlwind Attack -> Axe chain.

Final Conclusion: Lightning Hammer > Axe > Great Sword

Under a CoF situation, Lightning Hammer would be outdamaging Warrior GS. GS is burst with its Hundred Blade but that’s only for 3.5/2=1.75s portion of TW.

In COF, consistent damage wins in overall damage. Ex: Axe Warrior just spamming 1 actually does more damage because it’s more consistent damage (axe chain does approx. 85% of Hundred Blade’s dmg in the same cast time). But elementalist can outdamage Axe Warriors with a consistent 1 spam and even offer the Lightning Hammer to the mesmer so that even the mesmer is outdmging the warrior.

Well I didn’t know my calculations were that accurate.

How can you not help refund the OP his Sunrise? It is the system that is at fault, not the player. I know many players are selling through mail just to avoid TP fee because it’s definitely not a “small” fee when selling for 1000g+. I’m sure there are many other players being scammed. What can you expect from the players? Just tell them to use TP when it was the TP fee system that caused this mess in the first place?

edit: Actually, I thought I’d be more elaborate on this. If an insurance company insures your car for $20,000, and your car is actually only worth $10,000, it would make sense to purposely destroy that car. AKA Moral hazard. Who is at fault? The person who destroyed the car? Or the bad deal set by the insurance company? Just like moral hazard where when a system is bad, it causes these problems, in gw2, it’s the TP fee insane tax that causes this kind of problem. It’s not the players fault. And you can ban players. The problems won’t stop until you stop the source of the problem: the bad design of TP fee.

Probably would work. We can kill slave driver within 6 seconds. I have no doubt Frenzy from 5 warriors would at least bring down slave drivers hp to 25% for another frenzy.

According to my mesmer who used the lightning hammer, he was hitting for about 7.5k crits each on slave driver. I’m pretty sure the elementalist was hitting for more since they have more +dmg% traits.

Axe warrior here would usually had 5.7k a hit. Great Sword would be even less.

Hehe imagine if we could choose all these voices as an option. I also would’ve preferred any of the female voices over the current gw2 human female voice. They all sound much more sexier imo

Really just need to hit 12 or 13 might. The mesmer uses Signet of Inspiration which doubles that and everyone hits 25 might.

Necromancers need better crit dmg traiting so that their not stereotyped as cond. dmgers.

Dual dagger isn’t very viable. There are no +dmg% for dagger nor is Death Shroud very viable as it is extremely slow and easy to dodge. They don’t even really have aoe except for 4 on DS.

I currently feel Necromancer as one of the most bland class because condition builds are just about the only thing that is effective for them. Add some better traits that boost pure dmg. and we may begin to see more options and more color/variety in this class.

We are also looking for Berserker Elementalist who would like to join us. It’s extremely difficult to pick up a Berserker Elementalist in gw2lfg.com. Send pm to any of the names above you see in the video.

Yeah that was my bad. The above info. that I posted is not up to date and isn’t our current set up anymore.

We used to think a Warrior swapping from Greatsword -> Dual axe was best dps, but we figured that there are better ways to do damage other than just having warriors. The only use we see in warrior is for support DPS – Banner of Strength/Discipline, Battle Standard, and Empower Ally.

This set up for that support build would use 25/25/0/10/10 and a Great Sword.

Our current set up is

1x Support DPS Warrior
1x Support DPS Guardian
1x Support DPS Ranger
1x Support DPS Elementalist
1x Support DPS Mesmer

So were all just buffing each other up which we figured is better than a support DPS warrior and a bunch of 100% DPS Warriors.

Here’s an update on my cof team.

We do slave driver in about 7 seconds and the last boss in about 25 seconds.

Here’s my team using an elementalist to kill slave driver in about 7 seconds and last boss in about 25 seconds (could’ve went faster. this wasn’t our best).

It’s easy. Go 30/30/10/0/0 and have trait in +weapon charge.

Summon Lightning Hammer for yourself and for your mesmer and spam 1.

Result: Mesmer and Elementalist will be hitting as hard as warrior.

Here’s with a guardian in CoF group killing slave driver in around 7 seconds and last boss in about 25 seconds:

Guardian is me. I do support guardian and buff everyone up.

8/10

Looks like my friends thief.

Here’s my guard..

Its based on a character from Hell Girl (attached picture). People say my character looks like the grudge..

I kill Slave Driver in 6 seconds with my team *using guard, maintaining 25 might on everyone, 25 vuln on enemy, etc…). Sounds like someone in your team just hit80 and probably is still wearing lvl 50ish mastercraft armor.

^ Forgot to add in delay. It’s 2.5 seconds. You can even count while doing the combo and see it clearly is over 2 seconds but not 3.

Depends on your power and crit. damage.

There is no magic static value for perfect crit. chance. It all depends on all your other stats.

Approximately 2.5 seconds to complete 1 combo.

Thanks for noticing this. Now I’m going to use makeover kit to make my human female super tall to get her cute baby feet.

7/10 Sounds like a dark monsters name that drops a named exotic wand that has an eyeball sticking out at the end of it.

I forgot to list my other chars name so here they are:

My female mesmer name is Phira.
Phi is the divine proportion or the golden ratio, 5^.5*.5+.5=1.618
Ra is comes from the Eye of Ra.

My female warriors name is Phiaerith.
Phi of course being the same meaning
Aerith is a name I heard from Final Fantasy. The character has one of the most pretty name I’ve heard: Aerith Gainsborough. So I just combined those 2 and got Phiaerith

My female necromancer is Phiaera.
I just couldn’t think of anything cool so I kept with the Phi pattern and managed to get Phiaera

A character name I wanted was Nia Fleur but the name was actually taken. I then thought of Arcueid Fleur but it bothered me that from a french perspective, Fleur Arcueid sounded more natural. Instead I used Arcueide Titania as the name for my female guardian. Arcueide comes from Tsukihime (moon princess) by Type-Moon. Titania is the name of the largest moon of Uranus and is a common name for fairy queens.

It is most certainly not young sounding. I am 21 and attend college. No girls around my age sounds like that. In fact, the voice sounds like a voice that would come from a really fat teacher that is 30-40 years of age. And I don’t know, it just sounds like a phat voice to me, kind of like how Fat Albert’s voice just sounds inherently phat but maybe that’s just me.

8/10

Sounds like a Magic the Gathering naming style.

My female guardians name is Arcueide Titania.

Originally, Arcueide comes from Arcueid from the anime Tsukihime (moon princess) by Type Moon. However, google translator detected that the name is closest to French. Thus, to make it sound more feminine, I added an ‘e’ to the end of it. Titania is a common name for fairy queens and is also the name of the largest moon of Uranus.

Question: Do they increase also condition duration?

I know it increases condition damage, but what about ^?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Triforge_Pendant_%28ascended%29

It shows condition damage twice. Maybe it meant condition duration?

I see why this is happening. They named the hammer hit and the symbol with the same name: Symbol of Protection. That’s why they couldn’t get them to hit separately and hammer loses out on 1 tick.

It seems that the hammer damage is converted into symbol damage (4 stacks of vulerability with the trait for symbol→vulnerability)

Also combat chat indicates that Symbol of Protection is hitting four times when it should be hitting five times (hammer hit, +4 ticks from symbol)

Wrong. There’s only 2 ticks after the hammer hits. You must be confusing burn damage as one of the ticks.

Is there anyone that likes the human female voice?

I personally hate it and just turn off audio because of it.

Took me two months to think of my 4th character name: Arcueide Titania.

What deters me from creating new characters the most is name creeation………..

That’s separate as it gives a number for the damage the hammer hit does and the damage symbol does which says it hits four times.

I’m guessing this is a bug, and a pretty big one since its dropping guardian’s overall 1 spam combo by 13.5% ish damage.

Hammer’s 3rd 1 spam combo says it drops a symbol that hits four times.

Well, it actually only hits three times which severely weakens its dmg.

Was this intentional? Did it actually hit 4x in the past but got nerfed or something and its just the text is wrong?

Twilight. The colour matches the purple beam better.

Sand Beagle.9867:

Yeah the sigil stacking rules are a bit complicated, check here
and scroll down to the “notes” section for more info. wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Sigil

Also, condition durations only go in whole numbers and round down, so 3.1 seconds = 3 seconds, and 3.99999 seconds = 3 seconds.

Is the whole rounding thing actually confirmed?

Such as having a precision to hit a whole number otherwise it rounds down and is wasted? I always just thought that it doesn’t show decimal but I wouldn’t think that it’d actually round it down.

I have but it doesn’t tell me anything about whether they stack with pots or not or if they work in PvE or not.

I’m nuts for CoF P1 farm where I hit for 20k eviscerate on my axe against slave driver with 15% vs flame legion (10% flame legion and +5% flame legion) and my hundred blade has hit for 47.5k on slave driver.

+5% dmg sigils doesn’t stack. I’ve confirmed multiple times on pvp steady weapons. However, +10% bleed duration sigils do stack. This means its all bananas. Maybe +10% dmg vs flame legions do stack.

What’s so great about the staff btw? I looked at a picture of it at wiki and looks kind of dull. Does it have an animation?

I was so excited to summon my army of flesh reavers 3 months ago only to find it died after coming back from a wiz in the WC

Can you sample targets to see if +10% flame legion sigils stack with +10% dmg vs. flame legion pot. Then test if +10% flame legion dmg sigils stack and if +10% flame legion dmg sigil and +5% flame legion dmg sigil stacks or not.

Don’t see what’s wrong with it.

Warrior bull charge HB can do it.

So can a shatter mesmer shattering during 2 on sword.

So can elementalist with earth.

I wouldn’t recommend it as it has one of the mathematically lowest dps output (not looking at the utility parts of it, such as +20% fury duration) among dps runes.

Realism is good, but I think too much realism isn’t good. After all, this is a fantasy game, which isn’t real. A bit of flashyness wouldn’t hurt. This reminds me of when my brother argued how hollywood fighting scenes seem so fake, but it is definitely more flashy, and thats what appeals to a wider audience.

The games animation is definitely lacking.

Look at females swinging a scepter. Looks like itstheir first time using the scepter.

And the elite skills don’t have a very elite animation.

It would be highly unlikely that players would all gather to one event in this system. Why? Because, say for example, Plinx is offering 20g for helping him. You’d think everyone would gather here. Put then about 20people already mark themselves as willing to go, then the HUD shows the reduction in money (1g per person reward); thus, most likely, more people will not come. Also, while Plinx is offering this 20g reward, there are events all over the world offering similar, the same, or even better rewards that would be viewable from the event HUD. So there is no reason for players to mass in one spot. The system encourages players to team up in sparse population, but not to mob up.

That’s definitely medium armor. Ranger GS? Lawl

I chose pale 13 (I think) and everyone says my character looks like the grudge.
