Greatsword/rifle warrior = Easy mode PvE, but not so much in PvP
PvP wise is sole dependent on personal preference, play style, and current meta.

Where do i get this medium armor?

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

Posted by: Recycle.5493

Recycle.5493

It’s the Citadel of Flame armor set, you can get them from the dungeon merchant in LA using flame legion carvings.

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Citadel_of_Flame_armor

As a side note, the chest piece of the medium set will hide any shoulder piece you have, the medium shoulder piece actually look a lot like the light one if equipped with other chest piece.

Recycle.5493

Because of the massive numbers the burrows now spawn, the stage will be very laggy and culling will often occur, elementalists are a must have.Your best bet would be having 1 person defend for the front burrow, the other 4 take care of the rest. 2 elementalists dropping ice bows, other 2 take them, and 2 at a time rain arrows onto the burrows. After the first 2 on the side and the corner, front guy can take care of the burrow and move on the the next one on the right, the rest of the team follow and drop fiery greatswords and destroy the remaining 2 and/or defend Hodgins.

Counter Attack Abilities

The ranger greatsword and mesmer scepter block are the only weird ones that don’t do much damage.

It’s not that Counterattack doesn’t do much damage, it’s just that ranger greatsword has low damage overall. Counter attack is actually the highest damaging skill out of GS (Swoop deals a lot less damage than what it’s shown on tool-tip). Mesmer’s blocks’ purpose is to create more clones, which in term could be shattered to deal decent damage with a shatter build.

There’s no realism with rangers……we should have to spend years training pets to follow us around and obey commands!

You’re right, pets should now drop dead and gets deleted from pet list whenever their health reach 0, and then rangers have to find and tame the same kinds of pets again.

My plan for Alts

Recycle.5493

To see every story path you need:

-3 lvl 80
-3 of each race (because the 1st and 2nd part has 3 choices each) (total = 15)

Thats all.

Some people just do the personal story up to 30 and then delete the character. I had a charr engineer around level 25 and then deleted them and made it an elementalist

Or you could just make them all warriors if you just want to rush through everything.

Recycle you might want to send in a ticket asking if this is legal according to the devs. Cant remember if they said this was permitted or not. Would hate for you to get banned cause you don’t want to carpel tunnel syndrome.

It doesn’t give me an unfair advantage over other players and it doesn’t automate my gameplay, I don’t see the point where this would get me banned.

Edit: Here’s a respond from Anet if you’re interested

From Gaile Gray (Support Liaison):

“As you are aware, we cannot approve or review or “vet” any third-party program; that is a given. However, our position is somewhat different than the one expressed in the GM response, so I’ve already contacted the team to be sure that everyone is on the same page.

Our general statement is that anything that gives advantage is forbidden. There are many utilities that help the player without taking a hit on others, without, for instance, being a detriment to the other players in a match. TexMod is one example of a program that doesn’t really give anyone an advantage over someone else. I’ve heard about certain programs that help disabled players, and those seem just fine, too. And of course there are others. We can’t say “Sure, use this and that and that other thing” because that’s tantamount to “approval,” but we do recognize the distinction between advantage-giving programs and those that simply make it easier to play the game under specific circumstances."

I’m guessing that a lot of people don’t know the numbers that pop up during Rapid Fire is actually the accumulating damage of the skill duration, meaning it just adds the damage from the previous shot(s) with the current shot and shows the total number, not per-hit damage. Greatsword auto + Maul come really close to the damage you deal with Rapid Fire (don’t forget bleed from Maul).

Edit: Of course, I maybe wrong. Further testing is required.

I was asking if someone could invite me to a dungeon.

Um… No you didn’t. And no, it’s a lvl 75 dungeon and no one will invite you to it because you’ll just be a burden to the team, who can’t do anything at all, and bring the team down or making the run a lot longer than it is intended for.
Even if you do find people who are stupidly kind and are willing to waste hours everyday for a week straight, you will not be able to wear the armors because they’re all lvl 80 gear. Even if you do transmute them, they will cost you tons of “fine transmutation stones,” not just normal ones, and judging from your post I’d guess you don’t even have 1 gold total in your account, so you’ll need to pay a lot of real life money if you want to transmute them.

QZ does not give you plus damage in direct meaning. It speeds up your skill uses, so you can do slighly more damage in that example of 10 seconds.

No QZ and ZS don’t give better damage stats wise, but as they speeds up skill casting and recharging speed, in term increase the overall dps. They are a must-have in a burst build and could be really useful for dungeoneering with speed rezzing or killing trash/boss in a limited time frame.

high burst and tanky build….

These 2 things contradict each other, there is no such thing as “high burst AND tanky build.” If you want damage, you have to sacrifice your survivability, if you want to be tanky, you will have less dps. You could have really high damage and burst down everything you see and die at a touch of an enemy, or you could be really tanky but takes considerably longer time to kill anything.

Also in the vid: They say that Longbow has nothing to protect itself with and they’re buffing utilities so it can protect the ranger to a certain extent. And then there’s the buff going to maul in both damage and condition duration.

inb4 more QQ about “thats not what i want!”

Yeah, they’re just fixing GS to its glorious pre-nerf BWE state, while doing nothing to other weapon sets. For example, spirits, which were nerfed along side GS after BWEs, shortbow, “graphic glitch” and “not fun auto attacking” nerf, off hand axe that you rarely see anyone using because it’s just bad, pets that no one wants in the fractals, etc. etc.

Idk, seems like the QQ is justified.

Benefit of grouping in PvE events?

in Players Helping Players

Posted by: Recycle.5493

Recycle.5493

People group together in events for easier mob tagging. As most of the players now know that you need to deal a certain percentage of a mob’s health to qualify for exp/loot, grouping makes it a lot easier because dealt damage for kill credit is shared in a group, so as long as you have hit the mob for once, you group’s damage will take care of the rest. It’s good for solo people to still kill mobs and get kill credit in events when they die almost instantly

Combat Mode(Verson 1.1) does not give you an advantage over other players and does not automate your game play, more over, it is an overlay program that does not alter the games files in any way, so technically it is not bannable. Combat Mode Ver 2.0 however, alters the game’s UI files, making it a bannable mod.

Generally people do that to trick clueless players into custom brawl and get easy champion. Mad King food table and pirate cannon are both like that.

Once a player touches it, he or she enters custom brawl. A player without a tonic cannot leave the brawl and cannot fight back, so he or she can only be slaughtered by the player who put it down. Your only option here is to waypoint out of there.

Please explain Superior Rune of Speed (Rank 6: +7% move speed while using swiftness)

It is also said on the same page, 2 lines down, in the “Notes” section that “the 6th bonus for the superior rune of speed (+7% movement speed while using swiftness), is currently bugged and does not function.”

As we can see from thief’s trait that speed cap isn’t at 33% only, so if this rune was to work properly, I would guess that it adds 7% right on top of the original 33% applied by swiftness, making it a 40% for whoever has the full set of runes of speed. But as we all know, Anet’s technicians and coders are bad and the number is few, so don’t expect it to be on the priority list of bug fixing.

These things always happen to me when the game starts to lag. My friends have witnessed countless times when I “teleport” around from one place to another, and when I get rezzed but stood up at a place far away from my originally downed location. Being a ranger, I could tell where the game made me going(usually a corner of a room or some wall or cliff side) because my pet will follows where my character is actually going, and where I actually am client-side wise(because I can still control my character, just that the game won’t respond). So your claim isn’t all believable for me.
