Guild Wars 2

It’s a large fan infront of your character and has a surprisingly long range. I expect scaling issues with asura and that no one will care because greatsword is still subpar in pvp.

Volrath.1473:

they waiting another nine months to reevaluate after new metas settle

Oh yes the upcoming changes will definitely shake up the meta for the next 6 months………………………. said no one ever.

They haven’t discussed Mesmer on Ready Up yet, maybe Based Grouch will deliver some good news about sw3 fixes. Also gs2 is unblockable so idk why people think making sw3 similar would be an issue.

Blu x Zoose fanfic confirmed.

Congratulations Blu, you definitely deserve this trip!

You can’t spell dishonorable without honorable!

3 @ tower
2 @ other cave that you cant enter
1 @ green star before going to cave
1 @ the small in between of the rock and mountain

so 7, just did it solo

I believe there is more than 7.

3 at the tower just outside the cave where the caravan leader is (one up in the tower)
2 in the cave west of fort
1 in water just north-west of the fort
2 south towards where the instance start is
1 miner on the eastern side
2 vigil soldiers higher up above the miner
1 asura with 3 golems
1 more asura to the far north on the eastern back
There may be others just north of the fort, but I never saw that area during out attempts

The # NPCs scales with how many people are in the instance. There’s 7 when you’re solo.

That second tiger picture.. o_o Poor kitty was tripping…

Now, we need to get a Bobblehead Laboratory and throw it into the machine.

I’ve tried bobblehead cutscene and it didn’t work. Apparently our character’s brain can only handle so many drugs.

CoOOOooOOOoo!

(Unfortunately Quaggan doesn’t own a Kitty or Mini Dolyak Calf Tonic T_T)

I’ve witnessed it comrades.

I just completed it solo, I’ll redo it now to get screenshots for you guys.

First three: http://i.imgur.com/byUuGiv.jpg & http://i.imgur.com/Lpj6uPK.jpg Immediately to the right outside of the cave; attacked by 1 Tendril and 2 Roots.

Fourth: http://i.imgur.com/fe5z9HR.jpg (Where the Thrasher is) Ahead and to the left of the first three; attacked by a Trasher, can interact with him before the Thrasher spawns if you’re fast enough.

Fifth + Sixth: http://i.imgur.com/HrOZOVq.jpg Due West of the fourth, up a slope near the watchtower; attacked by a leaf dog.

Seventh: http://i.imgur.com/l8QQA95.jpg In a narrow gap due north of Concordia; Attacked by a Husk and a Root.

You have to kill the mob attacking the NPC before you can interact with it (unless you’re able to interact before it spawns) and they cannot die or the achievement immediately ends (icon disappears). Number of NPCs scales up with the amount of players in the instance.

Here’s a professionally edited map of the pathway: http://i.imgur.com/IpH9PzH.jpg

Lord Hammer Hand.4815:

your really good shoutcaster blu, anet should invite you to every tourney free of expenses and let you shoutcast or even pay you for shoutcasting. but thats about what i think your really good at. you cant be 100% good at shoutcasting and 100% good at pvp just doesnt happen. dont take this as an insult. just cant be good in both shotcasting and pvp at the same time.

That’s untrue. Helseth is good at both of them.

Blu should’ve been sent out as a caster..

Cynz.9437:

i don’t think there ever will be successfull mmorpg that actually focuses on pvp

DAoC did pretty well….

Are you guys retahded? Top #25 MLG esports yolo only.

Tourette* Engi.

Turret Engi. You unbind everything except your utilities and elite. Just stand still you will win. 100% guarantee.

So glad I dropped Mesmer. Unnecessary nerf train full steam ahead.

You haven’t had to face the target since before dec 15 patch, when I used to run it.

Shamelessly plugging my video for those Engis still struggling to defeat Liadri.

I did this fight without armor, dodge rolls and only auto attacking, blocking and healing. It’s obviously much easier if you don’t handicap yourself in the same way; the tips will still be quite relevant.

The build I used: http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fdAQJAqOlUUpdr9ZxkLSYLoROmzAqJKysUlPGxAA-TBCEwAJUCSSPwUlCIVSI5BAAwkHVlBCViRKAYmDA-e

TL;DW version:
- Rifts spawn every 35 seconds and take 5 seconds to pull.
- You can hold Blazing Light for 5 seconds before it disappears.
- Strafe back and forth while facing boss to avoid projectiles in invul phase.
- You can safely Magnet pull Visions through pools of light to explode them quickly.
- Visions don’t explode until they’re basically hugging you; be a bit daring instead of wasting dodges.
- Kit swap often for Swiftness and Vigor; Tool Kit swap for super speed (Kit Refinement).
- Proccing burning on the boss allows downtime on attacks to reposition/kill Rifts.
- The leap is painful if you’re naked; her auto attack stacks cripple which is worse.
- Run behind pools of light as often as you can to remove the Visions!
- Pistol 1 is pbaoe and Liadri runs much faster than the Visions; don’t be worried about bodyblocking.

I’ll edit my post if I have more tips I forgot to add or if anyone else wants me to add something!

They’re strong in spvp and small scale wvw, but niche in zergs. They’re also good in pve with a coordinated group, but in pugs you’re kind of limited if the other players are bad.

Engineer is the way to go!

Auto attacks and no armor build!

Glad someone else noticed. I’ve been complaining about this for a while. Easy fix would be to make retal return a % of damage taken, scaling with power. An easier fix would be to give BF the invul back tho.

Crovax.7854:

Besides, we only have 2 qq threads; a clear indicator that it’s too easy.
Not sure about last year but reading all the complaints from people who couldn’t beat her gave me a warm and fuzzy feeling <3

They definitely made her easier beyond just removing the dome and making the telegraphs more visible. Last year the forum was flooded with Liadri complaint threads for the entire event. It personally took me over 50 gauntlet tickets just to barely beat her. This year I’ve beaten her 3 times with no armor on and damaging her with auto attacks only.

Rangerdeity.5847:

Elementalist … this allows dagger/dagger players to have an unlimited amount of sustainable aoe dps

Where can I find this unlimited sustained aoe dps tho?

musu.9205:

As a stunbreak skill shorter cd does have a huge advantage. I actually feel blink is better than shadowstep when i use staff.

Shadowstep is longer range, 2 stunbreaks and cleanses 3 conditions on the return. It’s way better than a 900 range blink..

Blackmoa.3186:

There is no priority on condition removal, it just removes last applied first, but with everyone spamming dmg conditions immobilized gets moved to the bottom of teh stacks rather fast

There is priority. This is well-established already.

dancingmonkey.4902:

Doubt it. The only time the food makes a difference is in 1v1 or 2v2 situations, which are rare, in fact, the very minority of situations in WvW. Any more then that and the group or AoE condition removal options, combined with the stack cap or the fact that many conditions only stack in duration, limiting their value extremely, with more then one player that applies them as part of their builds damage.

Condis are still extremely powerful in a 5v5 lol. You can have condi cleanse out the kitten , but a couple of a condi engis or necros with +40% food will still be able to stack loads of em.

Creld.8702:

TL;DR- Good idea, but not at 66%, because thieves are sometimes people too.

Elementalists are also people and 66% on our attunements affects our skill pool too. People seem to forget that though. :\

Better map rotation! Should’ve thrown some skyhammer and spirit watch in there to keep it interesting imo.

Bump.

4x lvl 80 exotic daggers yielded a lvl 75 dagger.

Am I the only one who thinks attunement swapping shouldn’t have a cooldown, but add ICDs to on-attunement swap traits? Right now chill fooks me more than any other class and engis do 20 skills better than the tetramage archetype.

Grevender.9235:

In WvW the situation didn’t change as much, our overall survivability in small skirmishing improved (again, you may prefer to stick with d/d) but hambow warriors and backstab thieves can still be a threat without putting much effort in it.

And p/d thief, any necro build, phantasm/PU mesmer, dps guard, engi (though not really power) and regen beastmaster rangers.

Thaia.5146:

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think that hammer shots are dodgeable if your timing is right. I did that yesterday but I don’t remember if it was in solo que… Hammer works the same in all modes?

You can’t dodge or block it.

SpellOfIniquity.1780:

BG has better coverage and off hours than TC or JQ. TC and JQ’s solution? Combine their strengths to eliminate their weaknesses… BG buy’s guilds, sends spies and pays off players to do their bidding, that’s their strategy, this is ours…

We think JQ is paying TC. You can make your baseless assumptions and I can make mine.

WINSON.3278:

Let us look at the last week of t1 (BG SOS) 2v1, JQ commander overtime two days open pin 24 hours to catch up with the PPT, JQ can, BG why not

Because SoS isn’t a t1 server. Their active population and coverage don’t come close to TC’s.

Don’t queue with 5 condi classes and a diamond skin ele won’t be able to solo your team.

Condis.

Are those arrow carts and mortars….

Thanks for the replies. It seems to only happen in WvW for me. I hopped into a random PvE map and was fine, same for PvP. I was really looking forward to roaming on Ele.

Change some of the minor traits to give +damage% when endurance isn’t full, 1% per boon, if target has x condition, target is below x% health. I have no kittening idea why Mesmer is the only class that does not have these.

Sinister.5792:

Elementalist
1. Diamond Skin
2. Written in stone
3. Stone heart
4. Signet of restoration

Lol’d hard. Seriously though. If you’re going to ask for people’s opinions at least explain why you think each of these are OP instead of just “x OP (needs nerf)”.

OP your suggestion makes too much sense. Better remove Capricorn first to see how people adjust before we do anything drastic to class balance.

ArmageddonAsh.6430:

Maybe they could make it so that Interrupts remove say 5 Initiative?

What happens when you interrupt them when they have 1 initiative? It’s only 1/5 effective because thief.

Lol is this even a question? Necro. Top mobility.

Can anyone explain why my Burning Speed only goes ~200 range instead of the full 600? The animation lands me at the right spot, but the flame trail and blast end way too early, as you can see in the attached screenshot. A friend suggested it was my camera angle, but I’ve used it from many different angle to no avail.
