Guild Wars 2

This is why i rarely pug.

Scavengers hitting you from way outside of their melee range has always been the norm, its dumb do i just stay away from them if you don’t have stability, unless its the kind that removes boons.

Lol, outplayed

Its the worse weapon rangers have.

Puandro.3245:

And why not? Really the only hard part is do i have enough endurance and how do i live through the bubble or negate it. Food can cover endo if you lack it.

Food is just 40% of vigor, I’m more concerned about his AoE life drain where you would need to summon flesh wurm but its recharge is too long to be used reliably. General lack of swiftness (warhorn plus one utility) doesn’t help either. Necro was designed like that – his high basic health pool plus death shroud compenstates for lack of defensive skill but it might be not enough for lupi which generally requires more active aproach. I know it’s rather poor proof but usually when I pug, necros are the first ones to die.

Can run the speed signet. Spectral walk. Warhorn is a viable option because i sure as hell wouldnt be doing it as a condi necro.

Really top thing to worry about in each phase.
Phase 1 is bugs, as a glass cannon ele they hit for 4.5-5.5K each and if you dont move correctly in meled vs lupi so you can aoe them down they can 3 shot you. Necros get more health to buffer this.
Phase 2 is the auto attack nuke you have to avoid if you leave melee range to dodge the aoes, 1 shot as a glass cannon ele.
Phase 3 is the bubble which you counter with ports or stability.

You pretty much know this since you have soloed him on your guard but i dont see much of an issue on any class killing lupi. Its just slower on some than others.

haviz.1340:

Puandro.3245:

Considering lupi is a skill check and not a dps check every class can solo him even if you did 1 damage a hit.

I wouldn’t say he’s definitely soloable as necromancer.

And why not? Really the only hard part is do i have enough endurance and how do i live through the bubble or negate it. Food can cover endo if you lack it.

Ah it was before the good ole dodge trait nerfs. I got so close on the ele ever since i learned of the evasive arcana and now ifs all useless. Havent had time to go back again and try my new ideas.

Considering lupi is a skill check and not a dps check every class can solo him even if you did 1 damage a hit.

I see haviz he is using pretty tanky gear, makes sense since he was living through the kick. Im on my phone so i cant really tell.

Puandro.3245:

How are they inferior?

Lower DPS, lower support, lower survivability.

Lower dps than a guard? Really?
Lower support than a warrior?

Mesmer would have an easier time than guard.

Iehova.9518:

Puandro.3245:

Like what?

The other 5 classes who haven’t solo’d Lupus yet.

How are they inferior?

Should add strife solo lupi kill.

Iehova.9518:

Well, color me impressed.

Waiting on inferior classes to solo him now.

Like what?

6:50 to hit phase 2 kitten thats slow. My best is 2:30 on my D/D ele.

Rangers lack group support, their melee damage is fine though.

Every class can solo GL, all that is required is stability or ports to survive the bubble in phase 3.

Sure its not possible to match a warriors dps but a ranger gets kitten close, but people apparently cant play rangers and control their pet which easily does more dps than a ranger.

Drakes pets, only ones i know.

Traps are fine.

I Agree with you with the issue of 250 globs to get +5 AR infused in it, im okay with 250 to making ti glow but not to gain 5 resists, thats way too much.

The extra uptime was a nice change. The health reduction was overkill.

Knight/berserker.

sorry for your loss Vol.

The hawk under the table, haha.

0/10/30/30/0 Hammer Symbol Build.

Knight/Zerk armor mix.
Soldier Weapon.
Knight/Zerk trinket mix.

I feel really tanky and feel i do great dps.

Guardians are too good to pass up for dungeons.

1 Guard 3 war 1 mesmer or 2 guard 2 war 1 mesmer is the best mix for dungeons hands down.

Can always go P/D with Shadow Arts and cleanse his condis from you by using the pet to CnD. Fight would prob take too long before backup arrives though.

Wat……………………………

We need more WPs because sometimes ppl crash. Other than that the change is awesome.

Flamethrower is obviously lower temperature than lava so it hurts the lava elemental because its colder.

YAH!

Go to level 1 zones if you want to feel OP.

You had to remind me the HoTW underwater bosses exist didn’t you.

Emanuel.9781:

They share your CURRENT power, precision, condition damage, healing power, precision, toughness/vitality(not sure how those scale with phantasms).

Pretty sure it’s like that, because my Berserker hits for 6-7k consistently in my full damage build and only like 2000-2500 in a tank build.

Fully aware of that, but they don’t use your weapon damage as part of the calculation like your other attacks.

Since Phantasms don’t use your weapon damage for damage calculation im wondering whats the placeholder for it at level 80?

Ive heard kits use 925 (920 before 1/28 patch).

Also for utilities im also in the same dilemma.

Maybe a Dev can reply or send me a PM about this.

I hope they improve rewards AND difficulty next few patches for the dungeons.

1st, WW hits 7 times and 2 projectiles if the target is next to you, go test it if you don’t believe me.

2nd, 2 MB does 19% more damage than 1 WW.

If you pick up 2 hand mastery and use GS CD’s over 30 seconds then it will do 4-5% more damage, thats with the extra 1 might you get from the #1 chain. You can instead pick up Writh of Persistance for hammer.

So yes GS does 5% more damage woopdy doo. Ill take my Hammer and give more utility to the group then GS. GS #5 is the only good thing on it.

Ioflux.4369:

Get a guardian, spec knight gear, go 0/0/30/30/10, use hammer, pop omnomberry pie/ghost and face tank him all day while you tell rest of your party to do the rest of the dungeon while you solo auto attack him.

You’ll die.

Umm no, you can facetank him while spamming 1, AND eat the spin.

Scepter DPS is on par with other classes weapons i don’t know why people like to complain about it.

Well done sir, looks like pretty tanky hear.

AIMonster.8236:

The heal is too strong I think. Try QA testing it with 5 Rangers. Pretty much should be impossible then.

Maybe ranger’s should stop using ranged weapons.

Shinki.8045:

Puandro.3245:

Tested it back on Nov. they are bugged.

There’s been a lot of patches since then. Has any testing been done recently?

Simple to test them if you want in the mists.

Ele down state is still awesome in PvE, either to get out of AoE’s ppl can’t rez you in or to move towards your allies.

Good news.

Dev reply 30 mins ago.

The Corrupted Longbow = Old Corrupted Shortbow look. They kitten the Shortbow look and its not fair for the people who wasted 40-50 gold for it.

New one does not feel “corrupted”.

ZudetGambeous.9573:

I suspect they will plummet once we hit the 10 day mark and people can transmute lodestones with the new mystic binding agent. Of course this will suck for people who need glacial and crystal lodestones as the price for those is going to skyrocket, but the lodestone market will be more even across the board at least.

I doubt it will go that quick. There is better stuff to get than 10 mystic binding stuff. I for one wont spend any laurels on them for a long time.

I think that will depend entirely on the recipes that are discovered. If it is only a 1-1 conversion then no one will bother. If it is a 10-10 conversion that is 20g profit every 10 days, not great but not bad either. If there is a 100-100 conversion recipe then that is a 200g profit every 10 days based on current prices, and things will change quickly.

I’m taking a wait and see approach for the moment. someone will test the recipes on day 10.

Feb 1st.

Tested it back on Nov. they are bugged.

I heard it no longer resets your health back to 50%? If this is true then its a much needed change.

Back to taking Cantrips on my Ele, le sigh.

Agony Resists.

I don’t think they have more health, i feel they have more toughness i don’t hit stuff there very hard at all.

Maybe after a few months if i have to pug i won’t have to dread running with bad people.
