Guild Wars 2

;_; so much mesmer hate

I will never get a team

I’m just hoping the donations will actually continue to come after the first tournament, so we can actually keep things going.

EDIT: I am currently not in a state to make any statements. An rT team will register for the invitational tournament, and rT will be supporting the project to its fullest once it moves to a more broad scale.

As I am currently on fieldwork and any other working officers from rT aren’t likely to respond to the forums, this is presumably the only official reply from rT until next week.

Why all the violence guys?

randomfightfan.4091:

CoE 2 was pretty easy to solo (need to get people to shut off the lazers though). A lot of fractals is easy too. I do suggest trying to solo Lupi first though since that’ll get you into a solid soloing mindset and clean up your timing quite a bit.

Go back to my memories! Where you belong ;__;

So does engi, ENGI MASTERRACE

Purple Miku.7032:

I feel so lost without my stacks. </3

Can’t even kill abom by the third tranquilizing gun anymore :’(

Moar cc please

The rabso tells killed me xD so stupid

While I see your point, I find this to be utterly ironic and kind of embarrassing.

Bombs weren’t exactly hard to begin with, just be glad clown cart is nerfed and ask for challenging content in some other topic.

Trialing now has some new faces due to my absence

.__. I was hoping you would’ve forgotten about that

Can someone please give me an ele crashcourse? I need to have this solo done before Saturday

Jeremlloyd.6837:

fotm is for casuals right?

Wat?

Iris Ng.9845:

Make an ele and solo him as new challenge then.

Sure gimme your ele

The more fixes I hear about the less excited I get :c

Purple Miku.7032:

I don’t really consider it cheating to just run away and back. Seems like a logical thing for someone to do when they’re low on health. I’ve also duod p2 before with Dub and she still teleported when we ran behind the bone wall and back btw…

It’s not the running away that’s cheating, I often use the wooden contraption as well, but it’s the doing so intentionally to make sure she doesn’t teleport away, as it really prevents her from using her usual mechanics.(honestly I don’t know how this works, I just saw goku do it this way, the fire ele probably had sonething to do with it)

@colesy, that’s not afking that’s just killing her with untraited wardens.

On mesmer I can tab out against Belka and browse the internet while she dies.

How does this work?

Fight her underwater.

It’s called untrained wardens. What kind of bad do you think I am?

But what about her teleports?

Other exploits which also answers his question (walk in an out of fight)

luv u colesy

Ok just tested!

The amount of dredges at the pressure plates officially scales with the level: on lvl 11 there were like 3 dredge, also they only respawn when you stand on the pressure plates.

The turret part is changed in the following way:

no more dredges in front of the turrets: including the big mob group,

There is a pile of lazer rifles on the left wall which anyone can pick up

the three turrets are no longer targettable, they have cooler circles and only do damage.

you must pick up the rifles and pass through the turrets untouched without dodging( you’ll have 0 endurance) to get to the door.

You need three people to simultaneously hit the wall with the rifles to damage it, it does about 1/5 the health I think, and the rifle is unusable afterwards, leaving you with 1 skill: explode.

While hitting the wall, dredge spawn appropriate to the level.

extra stuff:

Turret hitting patterns change through time, meaning you can predict it as easily

If you get hit by a turret while running with the rifle it will be unusable and have the explosion skill instead.

Blinking or portalling with the rifle in hand will make it disappear.

Clown cart:

Rabsovich will spawn alone, with less health and spawn dredge throughout the fight, once rabso is dead, cart disappears.

Not yet sure if the dredge spawn next to rabso or in front of the cart, people will likely just fgs him anyways.

Dredge fractal changes aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh! Clown car nerf aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! no more dredge QQ on forums aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
screams like a little girl more than he should

thinks back at warden fix naaaaaaahh

maha.7902:

Actually mesmer is easiest until you hit Brie.

Belka is a joke, abom is a joke, Lupi is Lupi, Alphard is a joke.

Brie is … an annoying DPS race.

Soloing Belka and Alpkitten warrior is just extremely tedious. On mesmer I can tab out against Belka and browse the internet while she dies.

Well its slower though, and if you’re gonna try alphy and abomination without proper strategy, you’re gonna have a bad time

Lame

/15charsjustmyopinion

Well yeah we all know the warrior is the most self sustaining class, which makes it good for soloing most of the time, but it’s simplicity also renders it incapable of doing more complicated solos which would mechanics different from hitting things(not trying to offend anyone). The prime example would be the grawl fractal we talked about before. I enjoy the mesmer for solos just because it has something of everything, meaning that while my damage may be low, with enough determination I can get pretty much anything done.

All classes have their own reasons for being good in a solo setting, but they’ll only come to light in the hands of a skilled user(some more easily than others). A skilled thief soloer won’t complain about his low health because he has figured out how to handle it, just like a skilled warrior soloer won’t complain about his inability to stealth himself. I find this to be true in group play as welll.
Those who are really determined and skilful enough to be the best with their respective class don’t focus on what they cannot do, but on what they can do to make up for or work around it.

Ryn.6459:

Ty guys.

I think I ll start with ac story it somehow makes sense. I hadnt thought about story modes, thanks!

Sandy, lets just say that if my goal is the Everst, Im just asking for some mountaind to get in shape first. About the sport shoes…yeah my call.

Understandable, though I find that due to different mechanics, mobs and other influences, dungeons are different enough from each other to the point that learning to do one perfectly solo does not actually grant you any better results in another, contrary to climbing different mountains first

If you want to practice global things like reaction time, specific mobs are a better idea.

But that’s just my view on the subject.

Honestly, I’d say we can all agree that soloing is all about challenging yourself. Therefore I find threads like these a bit controversial :P most paths are soloable, except for a couple of obviously group gated areas such as the shoggaroth in arah path one, but once you come across these you can just invite some people for just that.

As for classes, soloing is all about adapting to situations in my mind, for this you need to know your class inside out, so the best class to solo anything with would be the class you’re the most familiar with.
And again, if soloing is about challenging yourself, why would you take the class which makes it the easiest? That’s like wanting to climb mount Everest and taking a helicopter to the top.

If you choose to take the easiest class for anything you won’t die as much in-game, but you’ll die of boredom outside

If you choose the class you wish to play, you may die more in-game but you’ll enjoy yourself a lot more.

In the end solos(initial ones) usually end up with dying a lot and being able to pick yourself up again and trying new things. There’s no party members to judge you, so do what YOU think you can and want to do, and do it on the class you want to do it on. Instead of asking us about what we think you should or can do.

If you REALLY end up in a pinch, the people at the dungeon forums will always be around to give you advice.

Iris Ng.9845:

don’t want to come back there for a while, nor plan to bite any leech offer from Sandy.

In all seriousness, I doubt a guard can handle the Baron when the golems are up all at once.

Ill just give you an offer you can’t refuse

Yeah I did it 2 days ago actually, just gotta hoard a kitten ton of crystals and avoid the pull when refilling batteries. The final boss is a horrible pain with non working wardens, maybe a guard could do it.

I will be absent until the 24th of June! Any matters concerning me should be redirected to Jeremy.5063

Aint NOBODY got time fo that

Miku y u do dis? now I feel bad

Jeremlloyd.6837:

Meh Only saying you could use a duelist / swordman instead of the 3rd warden for a DPS increase

And I’m just saying it’s irrelevant to the point he’s trying to make and you seem to just be taking the opportunity to tell people you can do it with two considering this is colesy we are talking to and he obviously knows.

But maybe I’m just overworked

maxinion.8396:

Jeremlloyd.6837:

Nice guide max You should probably say something about how powerful untraited warden can be. I’ll try to make a video compilation of most of the boss where untraited warden shines

Thanks Jerem! I was thinking about this but hadn’t quite figured out how to work it in yet. I’ll post something about it shortly, and we can add your videos on this to the “advanced videos” section frifox proposed! I’m also super curious to see your list, since I only know a handful of places where this helps (Old Tom and Rabso come to mind) and I am sure there are more I am missing.

Rabso, shogoroth arah, ta worms or w/e, Mai trin unblockable projectiles, Hunter crushed arah, subject alpha, alphard, deadeyes in arah, subject 6 fractals, belka ofc, probably ice elemental source in snowblind, some other dudes anywhere you’d like to reflect but can’t.

Jeremlloyd.6837:

maha.7902:

I should make a belka solo recording where I set up triple warden and then afk :p

Why triple warden? you only need 2 for perma absorption with PH

Omg jerem so cool jerem only need a 2 wardens plz teach me jerem

what makes people get the urge to necro threads in the first place? ._.

I just came here to brag ._.

My build should explain my knowledge at that time >_>

We even have more bumps than snow crows!

Definitely, getting up plenty targets is surely possible, but it honestly doesn’t do a lot once you reach a certain amount. We’ve already attempted a 5 mesmer lupi feedback before to test out the so called cap, this was done with 5 mesmers whom all had 3 clones up as well as ogre whistles and fire elementals, making for 35 targets in total. total feedback reflection depended on RNG and stayed between 20 and 25 I believe.

It may have more to do with the maximum scaling of lupi’s projectile attack, more than a cap on feedback.

guanlongwucaii.3162:

Pyroathiest.4168:

Something Sanderinoa forgot to elaborate on. Lupi targets everyone in the area with projectiles. This is why you should have 3 clones out, but this applies to other classes as well. Rangers can take a hyena for the extra pet and spirits, elementalists can pop elementals, necros can take minions, and everyone can use ogre pet whistles and elemental powders to increase the number of reflected projectiles.

isn’t there some cap (~20?) for number of projectiles you can reflect?

yup, the cap is at approximately 24 reflects, but more targets will always make this easier to achieve

No offense, but daaaamn you’re late for the party, this has been happening ever since wardens became capable of moving, and does so in a large amount of areas. Oh and, don’t bother reporting it, the 15ths patch notes already included a fix for it, which ended up being just as effective as the implementation of fractal weapon boxes.

Deceptive evasion does not work when wielding conjured weapons though, be careful.

Righty oh, been a while since I posted here but whatever.

Making lupi skip phases is definitely still possible, but you’ll need to just be a bit more optimal than before to pull it off with ease.

The best build to use for this is 6/6/0/0/2 it gives you the largest amount of damage modifyers, as well as enough precision to keep a decent amount of crits. Assassin’s gear is, granted, better than zerker in this case, but only up untill the point where you reach 100% critical chance ofcourse(hoping for fury and banner of discipline).

Lupicus’ shot are divided in two groups: those for show and those for kills, the first variant spreads all over the place and the second one is aimed directly at targets. As feedback only reflects those projectiles which are aimed directly on the bubble, having everybody in melee range is a definite requirement for the maximum reflection.

The best nourishment aside from the undead slaying potions is a bowl of seaweed salad(in this situation). Make sure to move while your feedback is reflecting to get more damage out.

Two more tips: dont forget to have 3 clones during the reflection, you can attain this easily by using illusionary riposte, deceptive evasion and your illusionary leap skill(deceptive evasion and leap work during the invul transition). Wardens will absorb projectiles and swordsmen will lead them away from the feedback, both decreasing damage.

That aside, because you are runnig 30 in domination, I suggest taking the mantra of distraction as your secondary mantra(next to concentration). This way, if your party lacks vulnerability stacking, you can help out by adding 5-8 stacks with a simple mantra charge.

TW should not be used during feedback, I recommend this skill for phase one.

It means Snow Crows ! Amirite ?

Aetherpath seems to be that one dungeon nobody has been bothered to set a record for.

Yup don’t worry, it’s coming soon

If I had a fractal relic for each time I have seen a post like this come up… I would still not be able to buy a weapon with it, but I’m sure it would make me appreciate the account wallet more.

doing science in rT!

The guy they fired, whose list of contributions to the game all seemed to kinda suck?

Nooooo! No disrespecting hrouda on the dungeon forums! This is a sin beyond belief!

Oh and good job

Dub.1273:

Nicely said. Sadly, lately I see a steady decrease of said cells in the average pug. Have not been getting ‘good’ ones for quite a while now, been kicking more than rewarding.

Anyway, I almost had a full minute of lagless play around 6 pm, after that, my delay went so bad that I couldn’t even join guild missions, though.

Dubless guild missions, so sad ;(

Saint.5647:

Haha yes :P I thought I was PMing Iris with that but it was actually you! I’m sure it’s doable but, I just don’t know how haha.

Ive been there once so far, but after soloing the path in front, I didnt have a lot of time left, sadly. Ill see if I go on with it another time :P
