Guild Wars 2

I wish the paths were more equal, SE path 3 takes 15 minutes or something, I did path 1 recently out of curiosity but have no desire to do path 1 again.

The might stacking was not meant to make it to public release apparently, though after a mind wrack thieves tend to kill what’s left of them selves on confusion anyway. Mesmers used to be the one class thieves feared.

if you want to join a group that already has 4 in it, just wait for a lf1m

Well I did a few runs with the OP and his friends today, good people. I think like others have said you just got to find like minded people and when you find players you like add them to your friends list and keep in touch with them and you’ll soon always have people you enjoy being around to do dungeons with.

Did i read somewhere a while ago that SBI had alot of Anet players on it?

I had heard the same thing, but who knows all I do know is when sbi had their orbs hacked it got insta fixed, up until then anet didn’t seem to care about it

yeah the bow is bugged, has been for long time.

AC 1,2,3, COF1,2, SE3, TA up are all pretty quick, hotw1 used to be good till last patch

I loathed Resilience stat also, it just wasn’t a fun mechanic

I don’t know how to kill a thief, but survive the burst of the glass thief (pretty simple if youre tanky) they pretty much always refuge at this point, earthshaker the refuge or backbreaker and they run away.

pistol dagger condition thieves though, even with soldier runes they are very troublesome for me.

Hammer could use a buff for sure, I guess the devs are aware of it since they gave it a little tweak last month. in PVE it’s just worse than GS in most encounters

I’d be happy if I could use my pve gear in spvp

Even when you play a build that can’t be instakilled they still try and then just run away. Thats what annoys me, if they cant kill you before they render they just leave.

well 20 in def for hammer, 10/0/20/30/10 , the 10 point ones are to pick up the adreniline based crit and dmg traits. runes of the soldier, force sigil in my hammer, leg specialist thats how I roll anyway.

run whatever gear you want, I use a mix of valk knights and zerker

The mythical glass warrior that never dies.

nice video, looks like you have fun. briny deep is an exotic hammer with that anchor skin also. my fave hammers are priory, magmaton and corrupted, if your rich mjolnir

My warrior is a giant norn, she is meant to get your attention and draw fire and inspire confidence in a charge.

Something my adorable little asura guardian in a polar bear hat fails to do.

Ultimately it’s up to the devs to decide if trash drops aggro or not. If you run dungeons enough you don’t care less about the tokens, I just do them for fun

I’m just starting on an Ele because Ive yet to come across a full healing one, I’ll be impressed if they outdo the guardian

Seems like not many people care about HOTW, bump for the love of polar bears

there is one, a long escort quest through a cave full of risen, cant recall if it was blood tide coast or sparkfly, a giant ooze boss spawns in that cave too. Anyway that escort quest did not seem doable solo.

At your level everyone is glass dps build, hardly anyone uses helpful utilities. When they say there is no tanking in this game they mean there is no spell to force targets onto you.

If you have a tank thats taking the majority of damage laying down CC and healing the party things go much smoother. Or just be godly like that zerker warrior that solos lupicus

Make dungeons story mode account bound as well as fractal difficulty setting. The way it is now just punishes those who enjoy having more than one character.

I did this again last night, I used to enjoy this dungeon. The butcher had a few to many hit points otherwise it was a fun path that I would happily do every day or so.

Aldus was fine, some people use to have trouble on him, but he was a good boss.

I’d really like to hear a dev post about why they did this and what they intend to do about it. I don’t think this boss needed a change but if the adds must stay at least cap them to 3 or make them veterans. Ima sad polar bear

we did hotw path1 (thanks for ruining it btw) Ac path 1&2, SE path3, then hopped to CoF and did path 1 and then on path 2 we got 45 tokens

Don’t know why we are punished, I just got my alt to 80 today and wanted to gear her up and enjoy playing the dungeons on a new character.

I took a screen cap the other day of a bunch of trebs outside jq’s spawn, they got trashed so hard the breakout commander came out. I dont play wvw as much as I should anymore but we are fighting jq everytime I do. Which makes sense to me as they proved last week they are a real threat

yet to see a frostfang in person, but I see six twilights as I run from the bank to the tp

shouldn’t post on migraine pills, 4.9k :p

I use a hammer most the time since I’m a support build, but it really is kind of pointless against bosses. Going to be frustrating when I get juggernaut finished to have to swap it out for a great sword on a lot of encounters.

great in wvw though.

as far as damage goes, my biggest crit was 4900k with earth shaker on hammer (which im specced for) and up to 14k on hundred blades over and over.

hammer could use more buffs imo

Legionius.3641:

’Detha bugging if you skip jellies is common knowledge, for weeks now."

I had this happen a few days ago. The way we got around i was to lure a mob or two to Detha and let her die. When she respawned it reset and we went on with no issues.

Seems like she gets stuck in combat mode with the mobs so close to the event.

same thing worked for us tonight, dragged the big scavenger onto her, then it strutted off lol

wow this boss is so unfun now, I used to enjoy tanking him. Now you to stand up on the balcony to avoid the mobs and shoot through 50 stacks of reflect. Alcohol and programming do not mix!

I had been just avoiding the dolls, but I seen an engineer set up the turrets and kill them. Who said engi’s were useless!

all the money you get now from killing people that cant alt-f4 should well and truly make up for the occasional DC you get.

Nice now you can all enjoy my gold t3!

you wont look like no butterfly prince in the Arah set

my warrior is pretty great at dungeons, im in process of leveling a guardian as they are just the best at tanking/support. I have mantra healing on my mes at moment but aside from portal fun and time warp I don’t feel like Im contributing much.

All I ever seem to fight is ranger pets, it’s like a zoo riot

Tanking 101:

Stack as much toughness as you can, stay in melee range.
Should do the job for most mobs.

End result, get very very familiar with down state.

The closest to melee tanking in this game is a in melee circle strafe. Meaning that you can just as well do it using a ranged weapon to buy yourself some reaction time. Toughness means jack compared to your ability to stay out of the front arc.

you can face tank most mobs and bosses, guardians are the best at it.

I dont even equip ranged weaps on my warrior 99% of the time, except for something like butcher in hotw

my guildies send them to someone when they are whining, it’s fun

From the information available to me, seems having the programmers work on spectator mode for tpvp was a higher priority than fixing fractals

seen my guildy guardian do 100% kiting

Server physical locations is an issue, do you propose screwing over America or Europe for latency (I’m an Aussie I’m used to bad ping, but maybe others aren’t)

I spent a week using banner healing in dungeons and wvw, I normally shout heal.

I found the banners add more fun to dungeons and if you have other sources of healing in your party the banners work great to keep everyone topped up. In wvw I always end up out of range of it or someone steals it.

back to shout heals & soldier runes for me. Though if we have a guardian or another shout heal warrior in party I will still switch to banners

would be nice to not have to run centaur runes

ive done path 3 twice, it’s certainly not something you’d want to do a lot considering how easy path 1 & 2 are.

but I found it far more fun than any coe path.

full clerics guardian, and 2 healing warriors and 2 glass dps. both times did the waves without any deaths. I know people in my guild had issues with the waves when they tried it with 5 glass

Have not played fractals since the first few days, still waiting for it to be fixed

or do what we did , run it after you own everything in EB

the mantra heals are very strong compared to warrior shouts (over 2k with no healing gear), but the fact they only work when recharging a mantra makes them difficult to use at the right moments. I’d love to see 1300 healing power in action though. might have to try it in the mists.

I have the 30 points in power and 20 in inspiration at the moment and just using mantra heal and condition removal, I treat the heals I give my party as random luck more than something I can control like on my warrior

sure is a lack of good looking hammers, I went from lion guard, to magmaton, now I have my corrupted hammer while I work on juggernaut.

mjolnir is over 1250 gold just for the lodestones

special mention to the hammer that requires gw1 and the priory hammer

yeah I had 1300 toughness on my mesmer, after first dungeon run had to go swap it out for mostly zerker gear to stop getting aggro when a real tank wasn’t around

my best friend plays a full clerics/dwayna support guardian, he got his warrior to 80 had always intended to be a bruiser kind of hammer/rifle build, had to go 30 tactics just to have some survivability.

my build is 10/0/20/30/10 21% with a mix of zerker, valk and ptv gear.

Im not as tough as guardian but I can still do 14k 100 blades while face tanking a boss. Thats something your guardian cannot do
