Guild Wars 2

Hey.

First of all, I’ve been looking for this but almost every single I saw was from, at least, a few months ago, so it might be outdated.

I’ve been playing with my ranger mainly in WvW for zerging, and from time to time I used to roam by myself or with a friend, with a 50% PVT 50% zerker gear, using a LB and W/A. Actually I had a nice overall performance with that! xD

But anyway, now I’m looking for a condition damage build to roam by myself or with a friend. I saw in another post that I could go for a trap build and I’d get a lot of condition damage by losing just a bit of defense compared to a regen ranger (I’m not interested in being a regen ranger tho).

But basically I have no idea what gear to get, what skills, what traits, what pet… All I know is I probably need full Carrion gear and use a SB as one of my weapon sets.

So every tip will be welcome.
Thanks!

And again. 15 char.

Hi.

Well, the video explains everything. Waiting for an hour just to get this is… meh.

Greetings.

Well, we’d basically lose our pet for this seconds, so it’s a kinda big downside in my opinion.

Hey there.

So, am I the only one who thinks this skill should also block the damage you take from poison, retaliation, etc?

Basically because its description says: "Instead of attacking, your pet will protect you by absorbing all damage you would take. "

“All damage you would take”.

I’m trying Read the Winds in zerging and the difference is awesome. I actually hit all of my targets (unless they dodge/reflect/etc them, ofc), WOW!!! I had to lose Piercing Arrows tho, which really sucks. It forces me to be switching between PA to RtW when defending from walls, since it’s way harder to hit multiple targets from above.

But yeah, PLEASE Anet, PLEASE!!! Consider mixing RtW with some of these useful traits for WvW, or just give it to us by default

Holland.9351:

I think my “dps” skyrocketed compared to not having RtW. I like staying at max range with Eagle Eye and before many of my shots used to miss, but now none of them do. Except, of course, if they dodge/block/reflect/evade/etc, but that’s completely fair.

But then you lose a lot of AoE, since our only AoE with LB is #5 (it’s not like we have tons of AoE with other weapons anyway xD), but Piercing Arrows increase that AoE a tooooon. So you either lose that nice AoE with Piercing Arrows or lose the extra damage and range. It’s not like we have too many choices xD

I’ve never understood the way LB’s #1 works.
So, basically, you can deal a lot (which isnt that much really) of damage, but in order to do that, the target has to be at +1000 range. Seriously, what enemy is gonna stay at that range when there’s no need to? And, then, we have the issue with the slow flying arrows… I basically think Anet went full kitten there. Keeping the enemy at +1000 range is already hard enough as to having to be worried about your arrows missing.

I like most of the ideas from this thread (having it in a passive way, mixing it with another trait…). Sadly I’m not Anet, lol.

Yeah I’m forced to target with Tab a lot, sadly. Because most times I want my arrows to go where the guy I want is.

It happens in every kind of terrain. High, low, with walls, with no walls… no matter what.

Hey there.

So, my problem is that I have a problem when trying to select someone in a zerg. I have to click A LOT of times just to select someone.

Check this gif as an example: http://www.gfycat.com/IncompatibleIdleEastrussiancoursinghounds

See how long it takes me to get another target. I start clicking the left button as soon as the cursor is over an enemy. And I really clicked it. A lot. xD

My mouse is definately working properly since I only have this problem in this game; it works perfectly in the rest of games/programs.

Any ideas? Maybe it’s something common, lol

Thanks.

Hey there.

I’m a full WvW ranger, and I was wondering if this would be a good change. I usually do really well with the traits that give me bonus range and piercing power in WvW because it lets me hit a lot of people from a really good range, but sometimes it’s just really sad to see the arrows not even touching an enemy because he’s too far, even if he’s in range, since he can easily dodge them.

The idea might be selfish because some people might actually like having it in Marksmanship instead of Skirmishing, but, hey, that’s why I’m asking, since I’m a pretty newbie ranger :P

My human guardian :P

+Infinite trillion ups. We should be able to remove our own buffs or hide the buffs graphical effects on our own client.

Actually I thought about that and tried to lower the number of characters shown, but that didnt change anything for me… I guess there wasn’t enough people to check it or something.

Thanks!

Hi there.

I hoped to see some settins for culling, as happened with it on WvW (number of characters shown and their quality), but I haven’t been able to find anything about that. Am I just blind or they haven’t added an option for that?

In case it’s their fault, I really think they should add it because many people wont be able to play properly without culling when having so many people around them… even I notice it, and I have a fairly nice PC.

Thanks!

PS: They added an option to remove/lower the AoE gfx effects too a few updates ago, right? I can’t find it neither!!!

This is what I like the most from Anet, their awesomeness. How many out there would have said it’s been an error of them and they’re gonna try to fix it?

Oh, didn’t know you could change your main server by deleting all your chars!

Ok then guys, those replies seem quite logic, so yeah, I’ll tell him to try it this weekend and see how it goes.

Thanks!

Hello.

I have a friend from America who might start play GW2 soon. The problem is I’m from the EU, so I don’t know if in case he plays in a EU server from there, he’ll have way too much lag or what.

Could anyone help me with this, please? Would that lag be gamebreaking?

Too bad I can’t guest US servers

Thanks

Hi there.

I’m leveling a new character, a ranger, ofc. It’s kinda obvious that we dont have many Aoe skills, but I’ve seen I can hit lots of enemies just with Piercing Arrows.

Just imagine fighting a zerg in WvW (that’s the main use I’m gonna give it)… all you have to do is use Barrage and then just keep pewpewing them with every single attack you have… then just add some traps and there you go.

I’m not saying our AoE is “wow 1337 awzum”, but still.. I dont think our AoE is that bad.

What do you guys think?

Thanks a lot for your answers!

No idea about the traits tbhm I haven’t looked into them yet xD

I guess I’ll get PVT where it has the biggest effect and then I’ll use zerkers on the rest.

Hi guys.

Just a kinda quick questions:

Would there be a decent balance if I’d use full PVT armor with full berserker jewellery and runes? The idea I have in mind is to have a decent survability while dealing some decent damage. Would this be right?

Thanks!

Hi guys.

I’m a pretty new thief (lvl 12 right now), but I’m already starting to think about the gear I’ll have to get, focused on WvW.
People says PVT gear is the best one for WvW, but I’d hit too low with that gear in my opinion. I already have an engineer with a full PVT set and it hits quite low, tho it lasts long (as it should, of course). But I don’t want my thief to do the same.
My idea is having a intermedium set so I don’t hit like a truck but don’t last as a paper plane neither, but… is that worthy as a thief? Or should I just go full zerker?

I know thieves don’t have too much AoE, so I don’t really expect myself to be in the middle of the 234234 vs 983123 fights, but rather just spam some AoE (bow and that daggers elite skill maybe?) in the zerg and then focus “lonely” targets in the fight.

So what do you guys think?

Thanks!

Thanks!!

Hi dudes.

I saw this picture in a engineer’s thread in this forum and I was like “woah, that place is beautiful”.

https://dviw3bl0enbyw.cloudfront.net/uploads/forum_attachment/file/56081/Dameus_Geargrinder__Engineer_Extraordinaire.jpg

Can you tell me where is it, please?

Thanks!

By the way… am I the only one who thinks the engineer should have the same shooting animation with the rifle as warriors? I hate watching myself shooting from the hip at long range xD

Yeah, right now my fights are: elixir, elixir, pew pew, dead (me xD). I do have to improve a lot… know when to dodge, what skill use when I have to use it, etc.

I guess I’ll just try the PVT gear in the mist and check how it works.

Thank you all for your help

Hi guys!

Well, I’m basically a bit too noob in this game, I still have a lot to learn. That’s why I boughy myself a complete Power/Precision/Condition Damage gear. Yeah, I might hit hard with two pistols, specially with 955 condition damage and 81% crit chance, but still… I don’t like it for PvP/WvW, I’m sure a fart would last longer in a PvP than me xD
The main stupid thing of this is that I spent 210k karma on the gear, so… meh xD

So anyway, now I’m thinking about getting a complete Power/Toughness/Vitality gear (including jewellery and weapons). Is that viable? I don’t mind if I dont have an uber DPS, I just want to be able to last enough in combats to slowly kill my enemies or help my teammates.

I also guess I should forget about dual pistols with a PTV, but would a pistol/shield be viable too? I haven’t done almost any PvPs but from what I’ve seen, it seems pretty good, but meh, I must ask xD
The rifle would also be viable, right? At the end I guess both combos are viable, but, again, I MUST ask :P

I’m way too noob in this game so I’d like to make sure of these kind of things, since I don’t want to waste 210k more karma stupidly xD

Thanks!
