Oh you’re right, gaining 300 units would make a class invincible. Absolutely impossible for an ele to lose a fight with it!
/s
How do you want to kill a d/d ele with 1200 blink? you can’t even immobilize him properly (really strong active + passive condi cleanse) and the massive amount of dodges, heal, tankiness and blind makes bursting him impossible (unless you’re outmanning him 3 vs 1 or he’s really low on CDs)
if ele has 1200 blink thief can’t even chase ele anymore (and if he does he has like 1 init, easy kill).
go in 2 vs 1. get to 20% after long time (spvp), teleport out (no class can hit you) heal 5 secs, 90% again. repeat.
hint: he’s not going to stay in your ice bow and meteor shower
Thief has way more mobility than ele does no matter what even with lightning flash getting a 300 range buff, so your example is just ridiculous. Thief has shortbow 5 that can be used multiple times in a row, has shadowstep utility, shadowsteps on steal, sword #2, and if on dagger can close gaps with heartseekers anyways. Complaining about not being able to catch anyone on thief is just ridiculous.
And if ele is tanky enough to cleanse all of the conditions you’re applying to it and has heals to sustain your burst, they’re not able to burst you down either so wtf are you complaining about? If they’re specifically geared so that they’re able to mitigate burst then they’re not equipped to deal high damage to you either, just to survive long enough for you to need to bail. If the ele is using lightning flash to run away from you then you’re obviously not losing, and your exaggeration with an increase of a measily 300 units of increase to the single cantrip teleport that they have on a bloody 40 second cooldown (32 with cantrip training) is irrational and there’s really nothing you can say to justify it.
Also meteor shower and ice bow have nothing to do with anything we’re talking about here so you’re just only helping me out here by making it clear you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Haha… alright I stand corrected. I made the mistake of commenting like I spoke for everyone or something. Clearly, Goku and Draglek and possibly many others find it funny.
Noobs. Hai o/
This just really needs to stop. Literally nothing good is coming from the drama-filled argument. It’s not even entertaining, just annoying and pointless.
No one’s entirely right and everyone is biased. I think now would be a pretty good time to admit that and just stop posting because at this point I’m pretty sure both of our guilds’ images aren’t improving in the least bit from it.
Oh you’re right, gaining 300 units would make a class invincible. Absolutely impossible for an ele to lose a fight with it!

Think it used to be called warbanner once upon a time. Could be wrong on that though.
Buffing the range on lightning flash from 900 to 1200 would not be a big deal. I completely agree with the logic behind increasing it, based off of the first post.
Well, it might not be a bug. I mean, it’s pretty natural for mobs to reset if you go too far away.
On the topic of imbued shaman the main two bugs I’d really like to be fixed would be the bull____ burning floor randomly applying even while you’re moving, and this weird occurence where he sometimes during a bubble phase will do that swooping animation to catch a villager that’s on the complete opposite end of the area. I have seen this happen only a handful of times but somebody posted a thread with it happening on vid, and I was actually duoing him with abe like 2 months ago and it happened to us on stream twice lol.
Edit again: SPEAKING OF THE DEVIL ^
Zui I actually remember a time where he healed to full hp at the second bubble phase before. Not sure to reproduce it, but it was when I was duoing him and was like last year.
My very best guess was because we ran really far out of range of him and because he was still chilled for like 20 seconds slowly approaching a villager, he may have lost line of sight and just reset as a result.
It could have been what happened to OP but I’m guessing not.
Editing also to note that while I remember having him targeted the whole time (you know, cause otherwise you don’t take shield stacks off), I was not paying attention to whether or not the full heal happened instantaneously or if his health bar was just gradually refilling like mobs normally do when they reset, because I was busy kiting elementals.

Changing the value when trying to buy/sell items is literally painful.
The elite is underwhelming? The whole specialization itself is underwhelming imo.
But yes, I agree with the OP.
Well one step at a time is the best way to approach this, as you will need to be able to do everything consequently in order to progress to the next part every time you decide to try soloing a path.
Abomination is actually the easiest boss in the whole path, so hopefully it goes well for you then. Feel free to ask for advice again should you get stuck again!
It looks like it’s going to be awful for PvE sadly. :x
Yeah like I said in the other thread… I knew it’d disappoint the moment I found out about it being warhorn. :<
It honestly would have a lot more uses though if it were like Abe said, where you could just make use of pre-casting it before an encounter… but having to switch to an entirely new traitline to use weaponskills? Pssh.
Well remember that on post 2, there’s some useful utilities that I’ve mentioned that you can take for when straight up damage isn’t quite enough. It’s possible to do Belka without, but should you need to you can run out of combat and run back quickly before she resets. You can take “Shake it off” for when you’re far enough distance that you know you’ll be out of combat, to remove the burning and run back in promptly afterwards.
Also remember that Belka’s attacks all can be dodged… and though it is “random” when she will use her knockback skill, you can count attacks for it and guess and it will normally work out in your favor. From my personal experience she usually does it after 5-7 burning arrow shots on average.
As for the traits… yeah see the problem is that there is nothing relevant in many cases. At the very least, you can pre-cast the healing skill at the start of an encounter for +100 precision from signet mastery. No other traits matter there, because you don’t use physical skills nor do you need fall damage reduction. This is the problem with the specialization update, as it makes it so that we are forced to take less substantial traits a lot of the time just to get ones we want. Fewer options means greater chance of this happening.

Looks like anet goes after “buguser” that use void jumping in OW. Thoughts?
Dunno, I know for a fact that multiple people at Anet have watched my stream on numerous occasions and have looked and seen I have videos/VODs of me goating before, as they have to see the sort of stuff I typically do, so it seems kind of unlikely that breaking out of the map itself is what the problem is, just using it to gain unfair advantages.
I have not been threatened with a ban (knock on wood) so it seems more likely that the person who got banned here probably did something more than they’re describing. .. but, no way we can really know unless they decide to post on that thread explaining it in detail.

Dont see why people have so few Ac tears dont you run those paths for gold people?
I could say the same thing about everybody not having 88k Arah tokens, but I think the reality is that I’m the crazy one for it. Same goes for you!
I knew the elementalist specialization would disappoint once I knew it wouldn’t be sword mainhand.
They are too out of touch, they don’t understand that out of all the things elementalist needed it was not another offhand but a better mainhand for better melee options.
Some of the skills look like they have potential to be decent, but as far as PvE is concerned I’m not feeling like this is gonna be anything other than just side stuff. We will have to try things out for ourselves and this is obviously just speculation but none of the elite specializations have stood out for me other than chronomancer.
There’s been a rumor that warrior’s will be titled “Berserker” and use torch, but I have no confirmation on anything and this is the only one left that I’m looking forward to at this point.
I have no faith in thief’s being interesting, not sure what to expect for engi, don’t really care about ranger, and still have a bitter taste in my mouth from the last beta test for revenant so I can’t help but expect to be disappointed for it :P
Yeah the portal not disappearing is caused from killing all the mobs before they actually appear. They are just like the champion rabsovich in the dredge fractal, where they are actually attackable before they spawn. If they die before they appear, which would happen from very high damage, then the fractal will bug.
Ehh… I’ve had horrible position snapping like this since forever. It gets worse the more packet loss that I have.
You really should run pingplotter to see what kind of packet loss you probably have. If you’re at 300ish ping, you’re likely going to see some pretty unsettling results.
I’m not saying that there’s no problems with the way these skills behave, I’m just saying that if you were to cast these skills with say, 40 ping instead of 230, you would see none of these problems.
I tested it on an NA account and surely enough I have no position snapping at all, unlike on EU. It is 100% definitely lag-related.
I play pve not pvp or wvw,
Would you accept “neither” as an answer?
Well the playstyle is basically the same as the pre-patch scepter max DPS build was, but without having to worry about scholar bonus.
This video almost makes me want to try guard again, after stubbornly staying away from it due to sword no longer being meta and mace taking its place… but at the same time, I would rather fall rear-first into a factory of thumbtacks than grind silverwastes for full sinister. :S
It is a nice time, not too far off of Notrigger’s/Dub’s best times from way long ago (can’t remember which of the two did it but I think that either one of them or both of them had ~4:20-4:30 solo records). I heard a rumor that burning’s gonna get nerfed though so I dunno how long this kind of DPS will last, if it does for long :P

“Unblockable is a property of attack skills which prevents the attack from being blocked, and in case of ranged attacks, reflected or otherwise destroyed by effects of skills. Unblockable is also an effect, currently only available from Signet of Might, making attacks for the duration unblockable. Skills that block will be ignored and effects that trigger on blocking will not trigger against unblockable attacks. Unblockable skills can be evaded by dodging or other effects, aside from the ones that cannot be evaded by any means.”
-wiki
Yeah this has been happening to me for years with both skills, and it’s because I am from America and play on EU servers so I constantly have 180ish or higher ping.
It’s lag-related, not a bug.
i got that bored that I decided to duo a dungeon with myself. was really fun actually swapping between the 2 accounts fast enough to be effective. (and failing most of the time until i got the hang of it)
Did this sometimes back during the days I used to play RS, was hard as kitten but extremely efficient. xD
Helped that the game’s screen size was pretty small so it was possible to have them side by side and see the game well on both screens.
Grats on full collection! Jelly
RNG Is a Cruel Mistress :S Oh shield and dagger.. where art thou..? Not alot of armor/weapon chests.. since.. I have 10+ Chars with 1-3 Full ascended sets each and full weapon sets @ 85+ AR. Also spent over 30-40k Fractal relics.
What the actual HELL.
Not only am I surprised to see someone with more fotm relics/pristines than Taku, but dear kittening lord at that karma and gold pile as well.
Nice stash lmao
Lmfao
Please let this be real and not a troll. I feel like it’s someone just trying as hard as they can to kitten with everyone, but I can have hope!
I had that problem long ago when I used the ingame screenshot options too, and no one knew how to fix it.
I still don’t know but maybe what I did to work around it will be of use to you.
You can switch to an external program for screenshots. I personally use http://puush.me/ but there are many other options: http://alternativeto.net/software/puush/
However one thing to mention is that with puush they won’t be bmp files but instead will be png by default.

Rage will be the go-to rune for Revenant i feel if you have access to permanent fury, which you should if you have a warrior in the group using FGJ on cooldown alongside the Revenants traits that proc fury and such.
Never been a fan of scholar runes, as soon as you dip below 90% hp (which happens quite often) the runes are just suddenly not being utilized at all, they’re effective in a premade group where you can coordinate better, but most people probably run in pugs, but thankfully (as you’ve stated yourself) Rage will pull ahead on damage over scholar runes for the Revenant (Hooray!)
Warriors shouldn’t be taking FGJ in fights anymore though. Warriors take double banners and signet of fury/might, as the fury is covered from other classes and the might can easily be maintained without it.
I have the same amount of ascended chests as all of the pictures posted, but with less fractal skins.
kittening arenanet.
Well first of all it’s nice to have an i7 because of hyperthreading, but to be honest the biggest factor in stream quality is your internet connection. You can get by perfectly fine with an i5 and won’t notice any difference in quality between the two at all. The real significance of the processor would be for offline recording more so than streaming.
Having enough RAM however is something to consider, as it is pretty demanding to stream. You should be fine with around 8 GB RAM, no more should be needed.
As for internet speed I have 50/5 and can stream from wireless with no issues most of the time, and I stream with a max bitrate of about 2000 kb/sec. You will want to make sure you don’t stream with too high of settings because you are limited to what your ISP provides you. Upload speed matters a lot for streaming, so take that into consideration. If you have any less of an upload speed than I do, you probably won’t be able to stream with too decent of quality settings because mine is kinda pushing it and a bit on the lower end of the spectrum (that’d be American ISPs for ya).

You actually end up with slightly less tokens than you would by doing all 3 paths separately because it only gives the path completion reward once. As a result of this, it can’t be abused for any purpose other than getting the daily rewards all in one path and for a little bit of side fun like what Quarktastic posted above.
You don’t actually gain anything from it other than not having to kill spider queen more than once.
When there is a PvE update and there is bugs they fix them immediately.
Lol excuse me?
We’re still waiting on bugs in PvE that haven’t been addressed for years.
Today is a Sunday, and in case you aren’t aware of it they normally don’t have a ton of maintenance going on during the weekend.
1) Don’t bother with skale venom, use slaying potions (outlaw/scarlet etc) and if none applicable, probably sharpening stones.
2) Depends what the group is doing but consider changing from strength/arms/tactics to strength/discipline/tactics so that you have fast hands and use GS + axe/sword. You won’t maintain 100% berserker’s power uptime due to the lack of the furious trait in arms, but you’ll still be able to generate might (assuming you’re using fried dumplings for food) and have a little more defensive utility without having to use a ranged weapon, which are really awful on warrior.
3) Normally groups will either stealth together for it, have a thief solo it, or sometimes a guard will kite em around for a bit while the others spam with torches in the middle. If it’s chaotic, just run around with a torch and hope for the best.
4) Avoid aggroing those elementals when they spawn. Try to make sure you don’t have too many stacks of frostbite before it phases (75%/50%/25%) so that when you get teleported, you can live by the time you regroup. If you get ported to the middle and end up aggroing mobs as a result, nothing you can do but try to get to safety.
5) Yeah, pretty much. This encounter is really annoying and it generally is the fastest for everyone to condense to one area so the golems come to you.
There has to be a reason for making such a stupid illogical date format, right?
I hate that we’re using imperial system for measurements…. temperature in fahrenheit, and different date formats… oh it sucks so much. It’s frustrating because if you live here you have no choice but to get used to them.
But at the same time, the UK uses some really stupid weight measurement system with “stones” so… they are weird too :P

I used to have problems with randoms in RS dungeoneering years and years ago too.. There were some setups that were just absolute garbage to use, like full primal tank gear, but lots of people liked to take their sweet time and build prayer altars and other stuff instead of just taking the bare necessities and going at a fast pace.
Speedrunning was prominent on there too and there also were a lot of people hating on it, but the difference is these people weren’t constantly posting on the forums begging for everybody’s damage to get nerfed and to make all mobs in dungeons required to kill. They just searched for their own groups and kittened off. I wonder why we can’t have that on here too?
Everything on this game is viable. Anybody who says otherwise is mistaken. You can complete all content even if you’re in the least efficient gear.
It’s all a matter of what’s fastest and most efficient, which healing builds are definitely not.
You are mistaking the terms “efficient” and “viable.”
It’s very good but one thing to mention is that I noticed ice bow, glyph and meteor shower definitely hit less when he is on spawn than if he’s out in the open, cause they land on part of the roof above him. However… at the same time fgs #3 will hit slightly more when he’s there.
All dungeons are going to be really easy to succeed on because it’s a lot different than it was during the first year of the game; people have for the most part figured out what to do for all dungeons so merely getting through a dungeon is nothing.
You won’t need to worry about getting through them, but if you try to do some of the higher level ones with first timers they might take some patience the first time around.
I usually play with my soldier gear in zerk runs. They don’t see the difference..
You don’t know that.
Just because they aren’t calling you out for it doesn’t mean they don’t notice something’s wrong. They probably just don’t know who’s at fault.
I doubt anyone would notice something is wrong.
100% guarantee you I would notice something wrong, I always do. This is why I don’t pug. You also have no idea if they notice or not, because they might just not want to hurt your feelings by outright calling you on it.
To me, there’s no point to pug when there’s such a high chance of getting burdened by having people using tank gear/traits expecting others to carry them.
If I’m ever in a pug, I just expect them to be clueless because even if somebody asks for good players there’s no way to guarantee they will get what they want.
It’s really unkind of you to disrespect people’s wishes on their LFG ads instead of just making your own groups with likeminded individuals.
Griefers gotta grief I guess…

Im just thinking is it really that funny necro posting? Once is enough. After that it just becomes stupid and annoying.
It’s cringeworthy tbh. It’s like they actually think they’re funny.
Yeah this is a troll thread.
Everybody knows that warrior’s DPS was buffed in the june 23rd patch to the brink of insanity… right?
Yep lol that is exactly what I had to do for mine too, I used scepter+torch and focus swap and walled him for phase 1 then baited out a teleport once phase 2 started.
If you wall him in phase 1 then it can help slightly for the locust RNG, since they have a chance to spawn in or behind it.
Really sucks that the zeal traitline is so garbage now, and that guards lost the 10% damage modifier on scepter power but oh well. :<
I really can’t believe that he thinks fiery rush was a glitch.
He also compared a coordinated record run done by a guild like a year ago… with pugs using terrible builds bugging mossman in the water.
I just… don’t even. -sighs and shakes head-
(edited by Purple Miku.7032)
I did a ~6:20ish one before the specializations update, but I know Austin was doing guard solos too before the update to try to get a sub-5. Can’t remember what time he ended up with.
I was using 46022 with superior aria and master of consecrations, full berserker with scholar, WoR + retreat + bane signet. Sub-5 before specializations update was definitely doable, not sure about now though
I really don’t think you should use flame legion runes if you want to go for a faster kill.
Also to be honest not sure if UC is worth it either since you lose it every time you reflect his big attacks anyways, the extra wall duration + lower cooldown is probably the better choice for solos
(edited by Purple Miku.7032)
So I actually try to run a dungeon again for once and… the game decides that it’s a good idea to make me use the NA-Lfg tool even though I’m on an EU server and I’m not set to invisible or whatever. Joy.
If you logged into invisible mode then your client will be bugged until you turn yourself on ‘online’ and restart the client.
I can’t even, I can’t odd anymore either.
Not entirely sure what’s worse, the highlighted LFG or the party chat.
Yeah I’d say the party chat is way more pathetic than the LFG ad.
Yeah I know Weth, but at the time you were not curating records and it was even before the last gwscr meeting. The choice at the time meant posting it on the forums most likely.
