Guild Wars 2

Does anyone else think it is a bit small?

This is especially annoying if you have a friend just ahead of you while you are running, and you want to give them the swiftness, but can’t quite catch up with them

If your cantrips grant regen, and you cleanse a condition when you grant regen, then mist form is gonna clear up immobilise, and when you change traits it might seem that mist form/lightning flash have stopped working properly!

On another note being immobilised just before going into mist form SUCKS!

Healing power also affects the passive signet of restoration to keep you nice and topped off, healing power is great for staying alive, because after your vitality is used up (after you take damage) you don’t have it any more! Whereas healing power, especially with ele who has a fair amount of healing spells healing power can help both you and the team. I would recommend using all of your attunements, with points in arcana so you can get back onto earth quickly, because the extra blind, chills, healing and CC you gain from the others are a great bonus and probably shouldn’t be ignored!

well I have been playing around with the idea of a D/D damage build, rather than the tried and tested survivability build:

The one thing I miss is the healing ripple effect (water 15 trait) so maybe take off 1`0 from air and fire, and add 5 to arcana and water? And maybe a better rune set?

Oh and make sure you use your arcane abilities in ring of fire!

Have you considered conjuring up the earth shield for that part? So you and partner can get a few second of invulnerability?

But yeah much better job than I usually do xD

Oh and i’d like to add that it looks like you have a nice, orderly line waiting outside, which is good to see!

So every time I open with RTL in combat, my sigil is wasted for 9 seconds >:(

I guess it is the same cause as the old RTL bug that gave you all that fury!

The picture illustrates the problem nicely, and oddly this does not happen when you use mist form (because I think it would be quite good for that to happen).

I wish i’d known about DD before playing past level 80 with a staff! They are great because their play is always active, and not just button mashing, oh and ride the lightning is the best thing ever! AND it feels great getting out of jail free every time I use a cantrip!

I tried them out on my ori run in karka country, on the small ones, they both functioned fine, on the scary veterans, magnetic grasp still made me stand around like a lemon on a rock for a bit, and rtl made me go towards them, and when I got there, again I was stood about like a sloth on segway!

Come to think of it I have been playing staff all day! I’ll have a look now!

I’ve not noticed a change in RTL, and it still works fine for me, are you sure you haven’t accidentally switched auto-targeting on?

Magnetic grasp, I find to still be problematic if I grasp a really big enemy, or an enemy who is on a raised surface, like above the keep in sPvP!

Need a slow mo!

So I really like the range of the staff, and its many combo fields + AoE’s, so wanted to create a decent build around it, I tried something similar to this (though with dolyak runes instead of water runes) in level 4 fractals today, and it was great!

Any thoughts and changes would be appreciated! (especially if anyone has any clever ideas to mix ‘n’ match runes and armours to do something sneaky!)

Thanks, (and sorry for adding in an Asura only skill)

I’m both aware that they are part of the event, and that you can dodge them…

It does not stop 3 * 12k hits being a bit… mean if they can sort of sneak up behind you.

So I was doing an event in the new area, and these Burrowed Worms struck me as a bit OP if they sneak up behind you in 3’s…

Maybe the 12k damage is OK, so long as you can only get hit by one at once.

I stopped playing so much since the lost shores came out, and couldn’t download the patches

…I still can’t!

Still can’t download the patches, am I missing anything good?

Hi all

Since Friday (when the new map was released) I have been unable to download the new patches. When I open the client, the kb/s rate just drops down to 0.00, and I disconnect from the internet. I decided to de-install GW2 then re-install it (poor move) as now I have 15GB of data that I can’t download instead of the most recent patches.

Attached is a picture of this happening! I started the command, opened my client, then a galaxy of *’s pop up .

I have my AV un-installed, turned windows firewall off, all my ports are open and have tried a lotta things, but am open to suggestions! Thanks for any replies.

TL;DR Open gw2 client, (all of) the internet breaks. HALP!

EDIT: Oh no! I have just noticed another thread with a similar problem!

Sorry for late response,

if you are on team speak 3, then you can find the option under “Settings>Options”, then select capture on the left pane. Then in the centre pane of the window you should see a check box called “Push-To-Talk”, click this, then the button to choose the Hotkey. (The button should say “No Hotkey Assigned”)

Then just choose which button you want by pressing it on your keyboard!

Enjoy your team speak!

You could always set up team speak so you press a button to transmit your voice, instead of transmitting continuously?

Bump because no-one has replied yet :c

Hi all,

When I open my client, the initial screen says "Downloading 0kb (0kb/sec), then the screen where the news updates are, and where I get logged on (automatically). I usually can log in fine, and get a nice “Welcome, Puff Pure!”

At the bottom of the client where the DL details are (speed, files remaining etc), they initially start at “0% Downloading: 16kb (6.05KB/sec) Files remaining 1”

Then the DL speed drops from 6.05kb to 0.00kb/sec, and nothing much happens after that.

Anyone else having the same issue? (And should I be sad to have missed out on the weekend’s events?)

Thanks for taking the time to help!

EDIT: I have tried disabling windows firewall, have uninstalled AVAST (so go ahead and send me some viruses!) and don’t think that any ports are blocked.

Thanks so MUCH!

I have been staff-bashing all the way up to level 80, and 100% map completion. I really like the AoE on staff, but i was having trouble with 1v1, even found PvE hard!

This is so much more fun that staff ele, Ride the lightning and burning speed are so addictive!

What do you feel about a sigil of the hydromancer? (I can’t really afford the one that stacks power :c)
