you can fill out adrenaline in about 2-3 seconds and keeping the 20% fury is important at least for me, is not how hard you hit but how much critical damage you can do. I do about 12-14k eviscerate, about 5-6k arcing slice, 10-12k whirling, 34-40k 100b to a 80 MOB inside any dungeon. I hit hard DPS and I can survive and not been down 80% of the time like those zerker warriors.
2-3 seconds actually isn’t that fast, when there are many ways to max your adrenaline immediately and you don’t need to use relatively low dps attack for them. Eviscerate is good as a leap finisher, but being a leap it takes relatively long time to cast, so you do almost as much damage with auto attack and you don’t need to worry about rebuilding your adrenaline again.
Well, if this is a bug, this should be posted in game bug forum.

Problem is that it’s so easy to just stack dps in this game, even if you sacrifice seemingly insignificant amount of toughness and healing you’re suddenly seeing 2x/3x increase in damage, usually more, this game is designed in the way, that if something doesn’t burst you down, it probably can’t get you down at all, now toughness and healing are more targeted towards a long-term sustain, so even if you’re taking 1/2 damage it’s just not good enough, because you will still get downed if you won’t dodge properly and by leaving mobs alive longer with low dps, you’re exposing yourself for more opportunities to make mistakes.
Bind your auto loot to separate button, so you don’t miss loot by accidentally ressing someone or picking up a banner with F, and when you’re dead try to respawn as fast as possible.
When seasons are nearing their end, servers still competing for higher places on the leader board have much higher incentive to play, than those in the bottom of it, so we have situations like this :
When you ran SE tens (or even hundreds for some) of times, you generally gravitate to shorter paths as the novelty wears off pretty fast and you usually want to just be done with it and move on to other runs.
I personally don’t mind SE p2 and always do it, if someone needs it for dungeon master or smthng, unlike something like cof p3 fe, which I just find annoying and unrewarding.
Any thing not human is a beast. Except Sylvari. They’re just plants.
After reading the furries article on ED, I cannot play as char…
Unlike some other games, gw2 don’t really have any sexual undertones, so there’s no reason for you to think about your characters “in that way,” if you can’t distance yourself from those thoughts, maybe there’s some kind of a bigger issue there. Just saying.
I don’t think many people who buy runs do it for dungeon master title, most do it for the tokens. You’re asking for some drastic changes over a pretty minor thing. I personally don’t judge people by their title, I judge them by their attitude and gameplay, you can buy your way into most things in this game, just like you can buy your way into most thing in life.
Well, it costs about just as much to craft and this is if you’re using optimal crafting methods, as prices for materials rise via inflation, so does the prices of legendaries.
It’s 400 p/s, meaning 4k per 10s, if you’re running defensive warrior build you have 30k+ health, 4k means nothing, if he’s stacked in toughness/vitality, adrenaline heal, healing shouts he probably won’t be able to kill you 1 vs 1 anyways, so what’s the complaint? He can’t kill you, you can’t kill him, seems fair enough to me.
I personally see a bigger problem in your armor, stacking a lot of toughness on a warrior isn’t that useful in dungeons, as you’ll be getting most of the aggro, it may actually make it harder for you to survive. I recently switched from pvt to full zerker gear and my damage increased about 2-3 times, while only sacrificing about 300 toughness. I didn’t notice much difference in my survivability.
Secondly you have a huge problem in your tactics line. Inspiring battle standard trait is pretty much worthless with your healing power and you’re wasting your second slot with a first slot trait, when you could take something like quick breathing, which is absolutely amazing, for people who like to use warhorn, as of now those 30 points in tactics are a complete waste and could easily be all put somewhere else. (preferably strength, arms or discipline), without loosing much if anything.
Don’t be afraid of not being able to survive, just try it out, I think you’ll like the results
Well, at least people have something to do, while waiting for a WvW queue to pop, instead of afk’ing in LA. It’s not as rewarding as some are making it seem, if you don’t like it happening in open world, just bring back pavilion or something similar, so people can farm in peace.
Hello, I’m playing from the beginning, have dungeon master title and fotm personal level of 41. Have no trouble using ts/communicating etc. I currently have 3 chars at lv 80 (thief, guardian and warrior(main)). I usually play at 18-23 CET window. I’m currently in a guild, but when I want to do some dungeon/fractal runs I’m usually met with silence, so I would like to find a dungeon/fractal oriented guild, with people being more eager to participate in daily runs.
Well, you already got rewarded by doing those levels, however I feel for those with reward level of 80, as after lv 48 it’s not really that rewarding to get any further.
I really hope for that to NOT happen, as I have at this point 2 characters at lvl 49, one at 38 and a couple more at 30.. and I’m sure there’s people with even more characters at high levels, all the efforts of those people would be just wasted, and it happens quite often that I do a couple of fractals of the same level in a day.
IMO that’s a selfish point of view, vast majority of people do one fractals run every few days, once a day max. You already can do 28/38/48, that’s 4-6+ hours every day. That’s not enough?
As I don’t have a regular fractal group it took me half a year to get to 42, now possible reset to lv 30 is bad enough by itself, if they won’t make it account bound it will be like a slap in the face.
But it seems they will:
Your personal fractal difficulty and reward level is being made account-wide! Starting with the Fractured release, you can attempt high level fractals on a new character without needing to level up all over again.
Well, axe has the highest dps, not much control or mobility though, so it may not be the best 1 vs 1, but if you’re not being focused or your enemy doesn’t have much of those two himself you can bring quite the beating upon your enemies.
I personally like axe + warhorn combination in WvW.
Survivability is MUCH better, when you look at numbers you’re actually not sacrificing that much of it, relative to damage increase you gain.
However if you’re running with other zerkers, your toughness still may end up being the highest in the group, so you’ll be getting all the aggro and you’ll seem less survivable than thiefs/eles.
The only thing I really hope for is that they make fractal level account bound. There’s nothing to gain for me from fractals <28, why do I need to sacrifice 28+ hours for each new character I get to 80, to be able to enjoy fractals? It’s not like I need to relearn fractal mechanics all over again, just because I have new char.
30/0/0/10/30 won’t be as useful as 30/25/0/0/15 for pure PvE experience, especially if you’re getting those 10 points only because of banners, because you don’t really need banner to be up 100 % of the time and 600 range is usually good enough.
Many people in higher fractals are stuck with “heavies only” mentality, so elementalist and thief are often looked upon with caution, warrior and mesmer(because of utilities) would be the safer way to go, if you’re planning to run with pugs mainly.
Looking as you’re bored of warrior and thief, I would suggest to try out mesmer – getting through lower level fractals will be a good opportunity to learn the character better.
Everyone knows, that WvW and pve is a completely different ballgame, unless you are roaming you usually want to stack health and toughness as high as possible, accompanied with some defensive traits, which is almost a complete opposite, when compared to pve, now this is not a problem if you do WvW OR PvE on one character, but many people like to do both and re-trating every time you go in and out is just too much of a hassle. So separate tab for WvW traits and ideally for WvW gear would be perfect, even if we’d have to pay for it, imo as they decided to give WvW a little more attention this should be as one of the higher priority tasks.
I would never pay a sub-fee… I want the freedom of being able to log in once a month, if you have other stuff going on, without paying full monthly fee and feeling obligated to play more, because you paid money for it.
I won’t mind paying for expansion when they release it though.
So when Tequatl came out, everyone was saying it’s a perfect fight, nothing needs to change and all other bosses need to be redone this way, now people got bored of it and are saying they should revert it back…
Can’t please everyone, I guess. Imo it’s good for the game to have at least one boss like that, but maybe in the future move it to the instanced raid? Because even if you organize enough people, the biggest challenge then becomes actually getting them all to the same map and minimizing amount of randoms.
Starting at about 38+ fractals they die in 1-2 hits. At 50+ it doesn’t matter, because you die in 1-2 hits no matter what gear you have, but lower than that, it helps a lot…
Skip the shout healing build. Skip the full banner build. Unfortunately, these two end up being crutches that will eventually hold you back from progressing in the higher levels of fotm.
You don’t use healing shouts as an active heal replacement, you use them to keep your and your teammate health pool at max, you can think of it as a form of mass passive heal. In any case, the main value comes from the amount of condition removal you get with runes of the soldier, when combined with warhorn you can have 5 mass condi removals every ~20 seconds. Btw I have done many fotm 48+ runs and it works just fine.
The closer answer is running the meta dps build, substituting in Knights armor as needed. The best answer is running full dps with scholar runes and realizing that if you want to progress fractals and learn to mitigate damage.
I’m sorry, but unless by “progress” you mean “progress past lv 50” that’s a horrible advice. Sure, if you have a perfect group you do dungeons/fractals with every day you can easily transition to full dps, but most of us don’t have such a luxury and we’re left with pugs and in that situation you, more often than not, will need to carry or be carried, if you’re bad, and dps warrior build is horrible for both cases. There’s nothing worse than a newbie zerker warrior wannabe, who dies every 10 seconds, no matter how much condi removal and vigor you give to them. If op would chose to follow your advice that’s the situation he would be most likely to encounter:
joins pug -> keeps dying -> gets kicked and called names -> repeat -> quits doing dungeons/fotm or gw2 entirely
While I would never kick a newbie, as long as he’s willing to listen, many aren’t that nice to the newcomers. In pugs people don’t really see if you do 10k or 30k+ with your 100 blades, they just see that you’re laying on the ground all the time and they are quick to point fingers.
Just had black screen yesterday, seems that TdrLevel wasn’t the case after all ;(
The pattern still ensues – I usually get black screens in low population zones or while crafting in cities, I don’t believe I have gotten it even once during WvW zerg clashes or during big world boss fights, which doesn’t make any sense to me.
If you all love Aether path so much, how come almost no one wants to come back to it after the first time?
I personally spent 3 hours+ there and this was with a guild group, not some random pugs. Maybe that’s because we had three rangers and I was the only heavy with my war or maybe because I was the only one, who red the guide, before going into it, still, that was very painful, unsatisfying and unrewarding experience, I’d take fractals 48+ or Arah over this dungeon any day.
Kill shot is one of the most useless skills ever, I usually do as much if not more damage with triple shot and I don’t need to cast it for 10 hours.
take your lies somewhere else
Let’s say they done to you 7k with kill shot crit, now unless they go berserk people don’t usually have 100 % crit, so it may be something like 50-60 %. If you don’t crit you’ll be doing 3-3.5k, now with a single shot you can do something like ~1.5-2k on crit, with 50-60 % you’ll usually hit for 4-5k with max of 6k with triple shot and this comes without the need to waste your adrenaline, without rooting yourself and without being nullified by a single dodge, block or blind.
So you want to try again or you gonna continue trolling?
Warrior, just don’t use longbow/hammer set for roaming, you won’t have a very fun time with it.
ranger only good as roamer
Maybe I just didn’t encounter a lot of good rangers, but I don’t think they are that good at roaming either, they are usually the easiest target to take down.
Take a break, a month or so. It seems that you simply burned out.
Or you may try out WvW or PvP as from your post I assume that you don’t play them much?
Farming is fine, no one really gets rich from champ farming, Every single rich person in gw2 got rich from market manipulation/speculation, at least champ farming require you to do something active in PvE, no need of a nerf.
