Guild Wars 2

Ele will be fine. The tempest is a noobtrap, and for the first few months of HoT release dungeons are going to be hell. But the class itself is going to be fine. We have so much utility, and so many options. We can just as well pretend the spec doesn’t even exist and all will be good.

However, the elite spec did push me over the edge to the point of maining my warrior instead. I have more fun on my elementalist but, I decided to craft ascended heavy instead of light purely due to me strongly suspecting the warrior specs going to make the warrior a blast to play whereas the Ele, my build will remain the same.

GW1 system was better, where you’re locked into your team. I’ve been kicked before by a guild, and I’m just glad I can outfarm all group content with SW, or even gathering with a mobile warrior build. HoT is going to be a disaster with this where you finally complete their ‘challenging group content’ only for trolls to try to kick at the end, or for guilds to kick all their puggers so they can sell the slots…

In my opinion dungeons are inefficient if you know how to SW well. I can tag every event, and the guaranteed rares from breaches and more, trivialize the 1g+ you receive from dungeon completion. The sheer amount of champ bags allows you a much greater chance at getting lucky with a dusk etc. to really strike it rich. A lot of people don’t realize but the non-event creatures in the SW also have a rather high chance at dropping rare mats…This is further amplified by the mf % increase you receive in the SW.

There is also zero downtime in looking for a group, or getting your guild organized to perform the dungeon tours. Point being, until SW is nerfed, or something better comes out, SW is going to dominate the economy, and essentially, the game itself. With that said, I have fun in the SW for some reason, so despite knowing the zone is ‘OP’ so to speak, I don’t want it nerfed either, but I feel it will be so that variety in Pve is established again instead of a one farm to rule them all scenario.

Wb to GW2. Necro has received a pretty long stream of nerfs. You’ll find if you used Lich Form as your elite in the past that, now you’re only able to get a few autos off before it dies down. Nobody knows how many more series of nerfs the Necro is in for so you may be in for a rough ride. Make sure you truly love the class or you may end up very frustrated.

I ended up rerolling another character and love it because no longer am I kicked from dungeons and I also feel like I’m really able to support my team, and also do comparable, if not more damage than I was doing as my Necro… but games are about fun so if open world and world bosses is all you think you may want to get serious on, Necro may be ok.

Although disappointed, I understand the reason they had to make Tempest so weak. It’s similar to racial skills where they don’t want people to feel like they -have- to be a Charr warrior because charrzooka is too strong… For the very same reason they likely made the specializations fun to mess around with, but not something viable in a dungeon setting. This is so that core gw2 players are not barred from dungeon groups. I don’t know if I’m buying HoT or not, but I’m not concerned about being viable if I do not either, which is a good feeling.

I don’t see a problem with Ice Bow. It allows the elementalist a way of gifting another profession who may not have the best of aoe the usage of ice storm and a few other abilities. I think it’s a unique way of supporting your party, and nerfing it because it is effective is just silly. It’s not OP, this is the elementalist we are talking about, that has the lowest base hp in the game. It’s designed to be able to nuke targets.

Dungeons are extremely easy in GW2 because they’re not punishing at all. You wipe, you merely waypoint, repair armor, and do another do over. So, with so many attempts its easy to learn the tricks of each dungeon. Back in GW1 however the stakes were very high, and a wipe meant you were done, even if you spent an hour or more in the elite mission…

However if you want an easy dungeon Sorrows Embrace Path 1 and Citadel of Flame Path 1 are as straightforward as it can get, and also very fast. Best of luck.

If your guild is not strong enough in numbers to maintain their territory, then it makes sense for them to be wanderers. You can join a populated guild if you want a guild hall.

Wasn’t Phalanx Strength nerfed, or am I reading it wrong? If you apply signet of rage, should give lots of might stacks to allies, but now they get only one stack. Also empowered allies range nerf forces everyone to stack even more. So, nerf to open world warriors, nothing changed for dungeon stacking.

I’m talking pve, in pugs or open world primarily. I really like the elementalist and find the playstyle more engaging than most professions. However now that I’ve gotten into dungeons and fractals with her, if my team is lacking at all, I’m screwed. If we don’t kill fast enough, I get one-shotted by something, and so on.

Meanwhile my warrior shrugs things off that nearly kill my elementalist, and can carry teams in some situations. I really want to play my elementalist and make some good gold while I do it. What can I do short of joining a dungeon SC guild?(not ideal as I’m still not experienced enough.)

Elementalist is no doubt extremely useful and brings great utility to a team but as far as pug friendly goes I’m just not having much luck.

Hey, Draskarr here from NA Darkhaven. I’ve been working hard to learn dungeons but almost every group is looking for experienced so, any help on any dungeon would be great!

I am a warrior with zerk equipment and will appreciate help from anyone, but even better if you’re an expert warrior who likes to go into detail

I seem to have made it past by positioning myself better prior to hitting ‘enter instance’.

Hello so I’m trying to progress through my story and I’ve seem to hit a wall…literally. I attached a screenshot to my post. There is floating rubble, with an invisible wall. It may look like I can pass through, but I’ve tried everything. Whirlwinding through, rolling through, leaping through, no luck whatsoever. Any help would be most appreciated.

Hello, I don’t usually go on forums for these types of things and usually just wait for a fix to come out. However, it has been several months and every 20 or 30 minutes I am kicked out of the game by a ‘serious error’. It’s nearly unplayable but I still play because its fun but I’m about to give up so I hope I can get help. Here are the error logs:
