Guild Wars 2

the stopping when you walk into a rabbit is an option to help with melee in the settings, if you turn it off you can run through rabbits etc. no idea about the banner though

what about the ones that alt-f4 when I’m running towards them?

AC exp is rough at 42, a lot of 80’s still die a lot. helps to have a support tank or ele etc in the group. I tend to suck at traps (more so the balls in cof and lasers in coe etc) , so I use the trait for longer manipulation skills, i can blink right up that trap hallway and up those stairs with the flames

from the known bugs list

““Null Field” is still not lasting its intended duration and most certainly is not “ripping ALL boons from foes” as indicated on tooltip. Post Patch it doesn’t even remove all conditions on the caster. It may remove 3 or so and then stops working.”

I think arcane thievery has the same issue

arcane thievery is known to be bugged iirc

I run leg specialist, enter the fray with the F1 on hammer to stun then cripple, which immobilizes everyone because of the trait, at which point you can backbreaker.

I look at no4 as more of a defensive ability

Different mobs and bosses and have different aggro mechanics, but the majority of them will target the person in the dungeon with the highest toughness. The second thing that aggro is based off is proximity, the closer you are the more aggro you generate. Damage also causes aggro

The highest aggro mechanic in the game is rezzing someone.

it is possible for a glass zerker ranger etc to pull aggro off a tank but rarely happens.

Hope that helps

edit: yes healing too, ive done a shout heal in CoF brazier room and had every mob in there run to me instantly

I played healers in other games too, in here I play a warrior that removes conditions and stuns from my party has healing banners or shout heals depending on my mood all while crowd controlling mobs with my mace or hammer and doing pretty good damage and tanking too.

For you though an Ele sounds about right, I think instead of picking 1 of the trinity like in other games, you should be all of the trinity here.

IF everyone Did some damage, had survivability and group utility it would be nice.

Thief videos can sometimes be entertaining it’s just your attitude that rubs people the wrong way.

My friend wants to get the Arah set, but it’s just so much harder to find a group, people would always rather do do CoF in 15 mins then spend hours in Arah for the same reward.

I’d like to see either the time it takes to complete each path/dungeon more in line with each other, or have the amount of tokens you get for doing more difficult paths increased.

Path 3 in CoF should give more tokens than Path 1 for example.

ive been noticing small changes about the place, they made me wonder if I was imagining things, the ac spider knockbacks quite a bit now, I dont recall that happening before. Someone in my party said they were taking far more damage on Aldus in hotw. At the time I thought it was because I changed form shout heals to banner heals.

for me whatever they did to fix endless loading screen, now freezes the game as the little spinning thing on the loading screens stops spinning and the game goes non responding

I dont have all vit gear, but by the end of the week I have around 29k thanks to wvw buffs, if I go stand near a upgraded keep it’s well over 30k throw in some food, you get the idea

I only my had my pet black bear for a short time, but we bonded. I miss you blacky

roll an alt, one that dies a lot at low levels and enjoy

Yes, good to see how passionate blackgate are also

I do cof 1&2 and hotw 1 each day and salavage the rares I buy with tokens, also at the very least get the rich ori node in lost shore

fixed now it seems

I agree, and to me this month is the true litmus test, if they release winter content patch before fixing bugs introduced in lost shores, we will know it’s only going to get worse.

I can see it now, toymakers golem airships caused an issue that made mesmers only able to conjure one clone.

It’s a sad day when illusions are more useful than phantasms

more options will open up as you get more traits and better gear, since you like the shouts check out superior runes of the soldier when you hit 80

Going to take more than a monthly to get me in that broken dungeon

+1 to the reef drakes, even with 3 condition removers you have constant confusion, far more annoying than karka or reef riders

I honestly thought they would have limited portals to 5 people, if they do end up doing it that way they need to revert the cooldown back to 60 seconds from the last useless yet annoying for mesmers nerf.

auto loot badges, no looking for bags, better rewards please.

I dont know happened here I havn’t played today, but people are kidding themselves if they think they sweep well all the time. As a mesmer you don’t need to be there when the enemy sweep, Ive seen JQ run straight past my portal inside.

just ported back in after sweep and hid

So you can fix farming opportunities quick smart, but still can’t fix the mesmers you broke last patch

the servers did reset, I remember because I was taking a garrison in wvw

if you cant tank the majority of mobs and bosses in this game your doing it wrong, I do it with a 10/0/20/30/10 build, while constantly healing my party and removing conditions with shouts, and still managing up to 15k crits if I choose to use a greatsword. Most mobs aggro is based on toughness damage and range.

Don’t just pick one part of the trinity

and even if warbanner was a racial skill the cooldown is too long

Can’t they hire a mesmer lead, like other games have to communicate with us.

I have most my t3 set now, it’s something I’m proud of. I don’t think the price should be lowered. It’s not meant for everyone to have.

I do however think they should be exotics, I know we just buy them for the skins but .. it’s a bit cheap on anets behalf

is that the pit of death in the new zone

it’s not just about hitting 80, by the time you have every sigil & rune and perfect exo’s and hundreds of hours of practice all in your favourite set of skins you should be feeling like a boss

I just need a pic of someone eating a turkey leg while fighting jade maw and i’m sold.

not only having to wait 30% longer to port people that fall off something, you want me to invite people to my party as well

I find that most mesmers are easy now, however once in a while I run into a masmer who’s shatter deals a good 8-10k dmg to me while I wear full exotics with power/tough/vit stats. Its not often and I assume they’re so fragile if I ever sneezed on them they’d die though.

8-10k per shattered illusion or total damage? Per illusion it is impossible as i am full exotic berserker with orbs with best food and full bloodlust, and my shatter does 3k per illusion if crited.

If tottal shatter then 10 K is achievable, but you need 3 summoned clones first and all the setup takes longer than any thief burst combo or warrior combo :P

dodge to clone and click mirror images, self shatter trait and have potentially 4 × 3k crits with confusion, but yeah far more can go wrong than a 10k backstab

Yeah been seeing this a lot in T1, amuses me every time.

the shattercat and other shatter builds are popular now after anet broke most the phantasms.

felt like we had about 10 people in EB last night (10 hours ago) had the outmanned buff and no commanders, still fun though

you dont even have to dodge, just stand with a ledge infront of you and you cant get pulled. Still a pointless and unfun boss

kudos to anyone doing a mantra heal build, the heals are big compared to my shout warrior but the whole way mantras works is so clunky an unenjoyable to me, throw in a broken phantasmal healing trait and it’s a whole lot of not fun

karmas only purpose is to be spent, either on your legendary or your karma exotic set if you don’t want a legendary

Shifu.4321:

Glass cannon warriors can survive any dungeon as long as they:
a) know the fights
b) can dodge most large damage in a reasonable way
c) have a reliable way of removing conditions
d) have good enough regen, healing and health leech to mitigate the regular enemy attacks (not the big ones) – this includes healing shouts/food/sigils/traits
e) know when to disengage

I feel that C and D are especially underlooked

that would be a healing tank spec

sunrise and twilight do look great, seen 2 mesmers with one of each attacking the dummys in LA, pretty cool seeing 8 legendaries from all the clones

mesmers not only got nerfed in the last patch they got broken, bezerker does less dmg than autoattack, clones and phantams fail to cast, portal entry is no longer synchronised with the skills cool down.

some other bugs you might find are, clones dont have a 100% completion star, clones dont have titles, clones dont have offhand weapons

I’m in an oceanic guild and 75% of fractal runs result in someone disconnecting, oddly enough we find disconnects far less common in other dungeons.

This isn’t a kid in their basement developing the game, it’s a whole team of experienced professionals that could have fixed this in a few hours.

I have a shout heal warrior with soldier runes, my best friend runs a 100% clerics shout guardian with dwayna runes. The guardian has more sustain and he can stay in the fight when I can’t.

Guardians are better tanks from our experience. Plus I seen him get stay in the kite room in path 2 COF from 1% to 100%, impressive.

you dc. you enter the portal, it ports you to the last retry checkpoint your party is in.

that’s all they need to do for the fix.

It’s not about being min/max or if you can finish a dungeon in MF gear or not.

Your getting extra loot by burdening your team no matter how you try and spin it.

you should be able to get into a position where you only have to kill 3 mobs per try on torches. These mobs are linked so you can kill 2 and they wont respawn, get the 3rd one low on HP then everyone kills together and lights the torch.

Those fire imps do hit hard though
