Actually without tactics CoE is one of the most difficult dungeons. Players can still die easily here from bad play (and bad group play) but good players can get through it quickly and safely. It has turned out to be one of the best dungeons in that respect.
Tactics? The “tactics” are the same as CoF. Stack up and burst.
lmao, how is condition warrior broken? It’s called condition removal.
For lots of classes that’s
-you get 12 stacks of confusino put on you
-you hit condition removal (which triggers those confusion stacks)
-those confusion stacks get reapplied in the next few seconds :P
I like what I’m experiencing from dragonbrand and maguma during the na period. You guys are making it hard for my tc troops to maintain land. It’s something our server needs, a good fight. Please keep the pressure up, and I’m sure you might surprise yourself and get a high rating.
We need this. Ty guys.
Oh god I hope not. I want nothing more than a solid T2/T3 rating. I don’t want anything to do with another PPT obsessed boring as kittin T1 server.
Screw that, we’ll cut our allowed population on a map by 50% if it means we can get some t3/4nonblobwars2 fights.
But you usually don’t stay on axe longer than 5 seconds.
Ah but dub from your first swing with the greatsword there’s 5 seconds until you swap to axe and 5 seconds until you swap back to greatsword. That’s a 10 second rotation and those are 5 second might stacks. Unless you’re running 100% boon duration they drop off in axe.
Let’s say you have 25 stacks of might with durations over 15s each, you engage with greatsword and apply 10-12 5.5 second stacks. The first stack the greatsword applies drops off before you even finish applying your vuln stacks with axe/mace and even more are gone before you reach the last part of the auto chain. When you get weapon swap off cooldown you’re now down several might stacks not just 1.
I find there to be significantly less lag in these events than what WvW can do. Haven’t seen any skill lag even when taking down scarlet. Have you tried adjusting your settings with the new culling changes?
Looks like you found some people that still didn’t get the memo that quitting the game still gives the other person loot/exp and gives you a death penalty.
Dont forget those that also jump to their deaths to evade you
Would be nice if we could switch the hold and release to being able to pick the power on a slider, keep the charging itself the same just let the player set where to release so they’re not stuck typing as Urrid showed above. Letting it auto fire wouldn’t really be in the spirit of the game.

I’ll withold judgement on this build till warriors start making it into the top tier tPvP team comps with this build. If they’re not there yet, that means the counters to it are still stronger and it’s not OP.
/wave
Nice, how’s it playing out up there? Changing the meta? OP? I spend most of my time in WvW so am not fully tuned into the tPvP scene, but consider it the benchmark for all things PvP.
I could be wrong but I think that’s only because defektive has some1 that he runs with for boon strip and coordinates stripping stability.
I wouldn’t call somebody who makes sure they do every single daily every day hardcore (this doesn’t take skill or effort, only directing your play for 2 hours to various unrelated corners of the map). I would question whether or not they have some sort of completion addiction.
So you want anet to construct a large middle finger to everybody who preordered and has played the game enough to have their characters to 80 and tossed that useless little trinket?
Have you asked anyone with over 10.000 AP what have they done to get that much when most of the 1 year casual players are around 6500 or even less?
Is that a serious question? The main factor in being far ahead of most people in AP is how many of the dailies/monthlies/living stories you completed. Any1 can run around and grab explorer, hero, jp’s, dungeon master, etc whenever they want but daily alone is 16 AP/day that you can never get if you missed.
Okay…let me break it down. The 30/0/0/10/30 has to use both weapon spots in a rotation in order to perform the same damage as the 30/25/0/0/15 does. However…the latter build only uses the greatsword to get roughly the same numbers.
The choice is the first spec is better in groups (as said before, due to might stacks), but has a more difficult rotation that takes up both your weapon slots to utilize to full effect. The second spec is better in solo since you can just stay in greatsword and use the second weapon slot for a Longbow or rifle since swapping out means you lose might stacks.
I’d still choose the second since the DPS is going to be in the very, very low percentile in terms of difference. But then again…the first could also be used for an axe based build instead…so…pick your poison.
Let me further breakdown the breakdown for you.
even if you preferred a “pure greatsword” set up, your dps would be higher with a 30/0/0/10/30 build so long as you had two greatswords one of which had a sigil of battle and you swapped back and forth on cool down.
I just blew your mind.
Oh wait.
I just realized that people who want “pure greatsword” builds are usually bads who want a longbow on their swap so they can ranged boss that are tew hardz. Why someone is going to spend so much time min/maxing their build decision only to throw away any gain from the min/max by ranging bosses, I’ll never know.
What i find more funny is that warriors made that build to adapt to the condition meta. Still other classes refuse to adapt to warrior changes. Its better for them to nerf warriors instead of nerfing the food that make that build to much strong than it is in reality.
And again that build can be countered.
spvp has no foods and wvw will never be balanced around what 1v1 roamers are doing
Thats why i said “the food that make that build to much strong than it is in reality.” with reality i was refering to spvp/tpvp. In WvWvW that build is much better because of the food.
Nerf the food and it is all right.
Besides not only warrior can use that food, that trait and that runes in WvWvW.
If you’re going to nerf -condi you have to nerf +condi too… they’re already built in as counters.
“Hey man, if I don’t take +condi duration, your -condi duration is totally eating up my condi duration.”
Okay…let me break it down. The 30/0/0/10/30 has to use both weapon spots in a rotation in order to perform the same damage as the 30/25/0/0/15 does. However…the latter build only uses the greatsword to get roughly the same numbers.

No, let me break it down for you.
Why would you auto gsword during your 100b and WA cd’s?

Guild is dead. Why be in a dungeon guild, when there is no reason to run a dungeon more than once a day? Another social killer. Run with PuGs or play something else.
I’m pretty sure if you’re a dungeon guild you
-aren’t playing it for the tokens (seriously? you like playing only dungeons because of tokens not actually playing the game?)
-already have thousands of each token available when you decide you want some skins on some alts
No. :/
I want to be rewarded for my time spent in the content I enjoy. I have various goals/skins im going for so I need money/mats… Tokens help by converting into ecto’s. I dont mind DR on repeating runs, but getting 20 tokens on the same path on a different character seems a bit much to me. Doesnt matter how much people enjoy dungeons, they wont repeat them unless the reward is worth it. Which is why selling slots on arah has recently become so popular.
Oh it used to be way more popular, pre-nerf it was the only way lots of people could get their DM title.

I did some Indestructible Golem testing last night. 30/0/0/10/30 does around the same kind of damage, at much lower might stacks. But…it also has a 2 weapon slot rotation where the latter you only focus on one weapon…so you have a slot free.
No LOGIC or visual clue to the grub mechanic…..(how people is supposed to understand its avoidable?)
The attack itself has a visual cue and when you have been tagged with it there is another obvious visual cue. It also says summons insects right under his name.
AoE red circles totally non coeherent: they are horizxontal projectiles…aoe are just useless because you get hit in the trajectory between lupicus and the circle.
So put the circle between you and lupi if you can’t pop a defensive skill.
As usual totally frustrating first time boring from 2nd forever…..
Only in the way that everything else takes forever and is boring with a slow pug party. If it’s soloable in under 10 minutes then why does it take a party of 5 15?
Welcome to the forums, solo vids are on the left, naked runs on your right, and straight ahead behind that locked door lie the secrets of the staff guardian mf build.
blind doesn’t last that long but when you are missing two or three skills on a moving target it feels like forever. But the blindness is probably wearing off before ire can cleanse it and getting buried by longer conditions on you. Did you test it with someone only casting blind on you then using ire? Also try some -condition duration food or runes of melandru on your wvw armor.
1 blind = 1 miss… missing breaks blind… also ire would never cleanse blind because you’re blind so you can’t really… hit things…
It is true.
When you’re at 25 might which last for 30 seconds in theory, your gs crits now grant you 1 stack of might for 5 seconds. One stack might will become overwritten and after 5 seconds you’ll be at 24 might. Though, since you’re never on axe for more than 5 seconds you’ll still maintain 25 might. No difference at all.
Ideally, sorta, but for an attack to replace one of those 5s might stacks, it has to occur after that might stack ended and there’s rng on the number of crits you’re gonna do per rotation.
ofc it doesnt. but since i solo/duo 90% of the time i run the 30/25 build. if it was different i’d probably switch to 30 0 0 10 30
Oh i’m just saying that you should definitely take 30/25 over 30/0 when you’re solo, also pugging or just not putting in the effort to run super optimal. The pugs that take 30/0 because it shaves off 5 seconds in some cof p1 video aren’t getting any might stacks outside of FGJ/SoR.
The 30/0/0/10/30 build assumes a party that can might stack, in such a setup the gsword might stacks are actually a bad thing to have because they’re low duration and they will overwrite higher duration stacks. You don’t have anybody with you to provide reliable blast finished 20s might lol.
what you said about gs might overwriting higher duration might stacks is not true, unless i’ve misunderstood this completely
Unless they patched it and i missed it completely, when you hit 25 stacks of might the same thing happens as when you hit 25 stacks of bleed. Any additional stacks will bump off whoever is in position 1, forceful greatsword provides 5 second might stacks, blast finishing is 20s, FGJ is 25s, etc. When you cap might, gain more from forceful, pretty soon after you’ll be lower.
It’s the same mechanic as why having a warrior with 5 in arms ruins the dps of a condi build.
Ty guys.
