and remember kids. you are not allowed to move at lupi because bubble!

If only that was true.

Yep, hear that one a lot now that all pugs are lupi melee pro’s.

It’s funny because not moving would be worse as they keep pushing him

Moyeu.1729:

or the location (LOS) doesn’t allow the boss to drop AoE at all (see AC, CoE).

and remember kids. you are not allowed to move at lupi because bubble!

sPvP – hold points kill nothing if you want
WvW – hold stuff kill nothing if you want
Dungeons – kill some stuff kill more stuff if you want

thankfully you have the choice of playing the way you want so you can keep believing your preferred game mode is superior.

edit: if I misunderstood and you’re new to the entire game then feel free to apply the same kittenlogic to whatever game you do like and realise they are all pretty darn silly.

JJBigs.8456:

With this patch, those wont even be viable anymore and we all will be literally forced to run record run builds/classes for each dungeon.

>easymode faceroll comps
>not viable

viable for what? you said it was for casual snoozefest non record runs. literally nothing will change for those.

OldSomalia.6180:

“Why would I want to give my party an extra blind, F2 heal, or Aegis when I could PLAY WITH MY DOGS?” That’s how I see it.

That said, I wouldn’t kick or really even care, but I would think it was stupid if I saw it.

extra blind – lol
f2 heal – really?
aegis – sure

1 out of 3 ain’t bad.

With absolute resolution traited the f2 is very useful in condition heavy encounters.

I know. Shame somalia didn’t give examples of actual uses for them instead of the crap he did mention.

But neither of those things are even remotely close to the dye thing.

dlonie.6547:

There’s also a melee safespot for her that they show on gw2dungeons, but that makes for a really boring fight.

Isn’t that one fixed now with the multitude of invisible reset lines?

inb4 deleted don’t post about exploits yada yada.

NeoVaris.4806:

The Risen in Arah seem to be annoyed about exploits, so they do it themselves.

That Safe-Spot

We had that too on a recent run. Couldn’t even report him

edit: and a villager even dared to go outside map. they have no shame.

He picks up the lightning hammer right after putting portal down

Sanderinoa.8065:

he’s using a gun to jump over the cliff

are you sure?

Spoj The Second.7680:

cranos.5913:

CoE p3 the destroyer boss now has a knockback attack (was quite the surprise :P)

He always had that move. It was rare that it would trigger. Certain mesmer phantasms increased the likelyhood of triggering it for hilarious party wiping effects.

The dragon tooth is also a knockback and he uses that all the time…

cranos.5913:

I also noticed in HOTW p1 the first svanir boss on the stairs now reflects projectiles pretty much all the time (my sword auto attack nearly killed me). Never rly happened before either as far as I remember. Been a few months though.

Always there (sort of, pretty much). He also blocks regular attacks while it’s up. 20+ stacks or so?
Except way back when you could afk on the balcony.

edit: an old screen shows he starts out with 60 stacks of it. forgot what it’s called. probably shield of jormag or some such. gw2dungeons haven’t even a mention of it (that I could find). for shame

draconx.3102:

Saint.5647:

Everything (I’m quite sure) in PvE has some sort of ‘tell’ or ‘windup’ that can help you anticipate an attack.

Champion Icebrood Wolf says hi!

easily avoided leap on a huge cooldown

Thaddeus.4891:

You want a proof? People use to farm CoF path 1 in 4-5min and everybody was using 4 Warrior and 1 Mesmer back then. They nerf the timewrap by half and the runs were stil around 4-5min.

Claimed all-time record for CoF path 1.

5 minutes, 13 seconds.

Why do people still insist on giving bullkitten numbers?

You should have at least lied about your class comp.

Axelwarrior.9084:

The best example is the Mai Trin fight. You can’t stack to beat her, or gain the advantage in any way.

Can stack on her just fine. And you gain the advantage of not having to kite into the lightning fields.

edit:

Doing shaman on low levels is easy but on 49-50 its not with zerker builds.

sigh

If this was to be implemented the lvl 10 PS key would have to be removed.

Now people who want to sell things back to gems have no supply of crap to sell back.

Problem solved. Not gonna happen.

mooty.4560:

I don’t think the Slave Driver is really a fair comparison to the Clockheart.

Agreed. the Slave Driver is way harder.

if it’s ascended it might be cheaper to split though. think of the dragonite.

Stacking behind a pillar makes it harder to see the only thing that wipes a group.

dlonie.6547:

You have had fantastic luck with your PUGs then, lmao

People can obviously fail it anyway. It’s not a dps issue.

You
can’t
even
crit
them

It’s literally impossible to not have “enough dps”

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

But the burrows are still a DPS check. They are ridiculously easy if you spam icebows, and ridiculously hard without them.

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

The Patriarch snipsnipsnip and a fair amount of DPS is still required

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

Kholer is a terrible boss. His difficulty is disproportionate to every other boss in AC.

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

Colossus Rumblus. I don’t like this boss. Too much knockdown spam and overpowered trash spawning

Whatisthisidonteven

I’ll take things that aren’t bugs for 500 Alex.

Swagginator.3246:

so could some1 explain properly how a ranger would deal more or better sustained dps than a warrior or guardian or thief within a 10 seconds timeframe? that would be great.

I don’t think that’s how sustained works.

edit: and it doesn’t matter either way. you bring warrior for banner (and ea). you bring ranger for spotter/spirit.

Nage.1520:

And it would still be harder to melee it on my mesmer.

I know right? It’s so unfair they don’t have anything to make it safer.

Otokomae.9356:

Remember when Traveler’s Runes were 40 silver, and everyone thought that it was too much??? Again, look for Rune Sets that are ALMOST there, but just not quite good enough, and are therefore dirt-cheap atm.

Traveler runes are a very poor example for your second point as they went from utterly useless to divinity runes on crack.

The advice is still good though. If you got an adventurous spirit and a gambler’s heart.

Ensign.2189:

Neural.1824:

but I also had a streak of close to 100 forges in which I didn’t get any superiors at all

No, you didn’t. Unless you’re trying to tell us that you forged several million runes earlier.

Except amount of forges is not relevant. If a streak can happen it can happen immediately or never.

cranked.3812:

I haven’t done P3 in forever, but I thought it was longer by a good amount. I could be wrong, my memory grows hazy as time goes on.

No this seems about right. People only remember that one terrible pug run prenerf at launch.

And then conveniently miss out that the record is
P3 : 7:23
P2 : 9:43

Of course. P3 has slightly higher chance of being utterly pugwrecked and thus the circle of terribleness is complete.

cranos.5913:

and COF p3 are generally avoided because of difficulty/length

But cofp3 is neither long nor difficult.

edit: i’d say it’s avoided for the same reason ac2 is.

Obtena.7952:

Example: Mithril usually hovers at around 25-30c but has gone up to 80c.

75c during the absolute peak of the snowflake saga according to spidy.

Not exactly the thing to hope for.

Darkobra.6439:

Oh and stop bringing berserker to world bosses. You’re dead weight. Sometimes literally.

This only applies if you’re terrible though.

4/5 @belka

mesmer: oh, guard can’t make the run. let’s port him.
me: hurray, soon finished.
mesmer: hit console in the belief that the kick from area will port the guardian forward
everyone dies
me: you do know we got two mesmers and that you can use an actual portal?
mesmer: i’m showing them p2, this isn’t a rush or anything. our way or the highway
me: so why did you waste time exploiting belka’s teleport?
mesmer: that’s how everyone does it

Current colourscheme is mainly because of see screen (inf light inc) or Human T3 cultural weps that I used while leveling.

Is what she got to play with now but all suggestions that aren’t limited are welcome.

(That fits with Vigil/T3cult weapons.)

Lilith Ajit.6173:

RemiRome.8495:

Arah story so much fun.

Armor/weapon combo iffy

I know. New warrior sadly have to sacrifice some stylepoints for the sake of convenient minmaxing.

CoF for bloodlust
CoE for perception
Arah for Undead
HumanT3/Vigil for night/force (probably)

Old warrior just ran ebonhawke everything and it was annoying to browse through 2-5 identical icons just to find the right one

Sorry about toasterquality screenshots.

Arah story so much fun.

Wanze.8410:

exotic sentinel weapons and armor since Escape from LA, from which they are salvageable.

They are not salvageable though.

I suspected as much.

That’s Heathcliff.

He’s a cat.

Lilith Ajit.6173:

I’m so glad you caught the name. And yeah, oh god, the feels. X.x

They think they can catch me.

edit: I don’t know how to forum

That is some creepy eyes.

Wharrgarbl stop bringing up D2 as an example for a superior system.

There is no wiggleroom in D2 because you sacrifice literally nothing.

The only customization comes from how rich you are.

hendo.1940:

unavoidable damage

in aether? where?

CynC.4765:

wiki warrior nonsense

Except it isn’t.

“On probabilistic grounds, all strings, say of length 64, have the same randomness.”

Would be the relevant part of what you linked.

Anyway. If it was random. The latter string would be a possibility. It would look less random to us however.

CynC.4765:

Randomness does not care about your previous result. Streaks will occur. It won’t balance out just so it looks “random” and “balanced” to your eyes.

You even agree with me so I’m not really seeing the point.

Mystic.5934:

this is a random ecto return: 01100101011111101011000100000111010100000101001111
this is not a random ecto return: 101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101

But this isn’t true.

Wharrgarbl.9263:

Stuff about D2 that isn’t true.

Sure, sure. Sounds about right.

Braham broke his leg because of Taimi.

If their relationship didn’t exist he’d just stand there laughing at the puny blast.

A sword build is a dagger build is a short bow build is a pistol build.

25/30/0/0/15
30/30/0/0/10

edit: general advice. get all weapons. get all utilities. learn what they do.

The only one I don’t melee all the time out of those is the Legendary Imbued Shaman and that’s only because they ruined the zoom and I’m not running fractals often enough to get used to it.

Mouth guy is fun to melee and not falling asleep is a massive bonus in my eyes.

This is all based on if you are actually talking about CM and not some imaginary dungeon.

Tman.6349:

Me: This boss is anti-melee so use range here.

Don’t lie to your party. Not cool.

Tman.6349:

I might have to explain something to an inexperienced group when they should be using melee

Always

Tman.6349:

I might have to explain something to an inexperienced group when they should be using range

Never
