Guild Wars 2

So, this is not a bragging thread, but i have seen quite alot of these threads recently and i guess its just pure hype!

I am so excited, because 1 hour ago Zommoros decided to give me a spark. I used around 70-80 gold on rare daggers (Quite lucky i guess) and i got it. To finish this took me 7 months! Almost.. (Extremely long for a legendary, i know but i wasnt in a hurry, i tried enjoying the game)

So yea… if you want to follow my journey or get inspiration, here is a little video i made with awesome music

Update! Just created my incinerator Hooray MF for giving me spark!

Well, the no brain build is KIND of true IMO.. Sucks to say it, but the 30/0/10/0/30 thing or something along that is kind of skilless…

You just fear down and auto attack in DS to do like 10k DPS…

Yes… I usally did all my world events everyday, maybe a few dungeons and then i went farming. I really did enjoy farming. Seriously. But now, i do my world events, log of… Nothing more to do in this game, except WvW but i really need some gold now so i wont bother with it yet

I love some new mechanics, BUT… the last fight is to hard for a pug

Spiuk.8421:

Sadly.

/15char

I will just stick to my old well build. I really need my 20 points in death magic and blood magic… I tried running without and no way.. i love my well CD ruduction and health siphoning to much. Feel to squishy without

Nemesis.8593:

You guys are missing the point…

Necromancers were easy pray for such a long time, now that we are equal no one knows how to fight us.

At the same time… because we had to fight harder for every victory we obtained, every single one of you necromancers has a higher skill level then their “equal” adversary…
We had to be more skilled then our opponents just to be able to stand our ground… We had to use skill to not get killed by a heart seeking spamming thief… or a faceroll bunker elementalist, or a “i do my combo you die” shatter mesmer…

Well, with the DS buffs etc. you can’t say necro requires skill?

Trait so we apply vulnerability and gain might on the DS1 skill and just AFK..:? We crit like every hit and are able to hit for 5-6k… No skill required at all.

Also, how the f. did you get killed by a heartseeking thief as a necro? necro has 20-30k hp (depending on the build) and heartseeker whenevr yuour HP is above 50% does less damage than autoattack… The only time thief should use heartseeker is whenever your health is under 25%. You clearly havent played thief much…

Tbh, i can’t see why necro got so much more OP now…? I am clearly missing something…

the only good thing that made us stronger with this patch is short CD on wells and torment…? What did i miss?

Rennoko.5731:

•Vampiric: This trait now scales up 6 additional points with power for its damage and healing for its healing per attack.

So, does healing power now affect the ammount of healing i get? i dont get this.. Im from norway, sorry

the puzzle isnt out before 2nd july i believe

Its 3 hours and 30 minutes since i got the messaged “New build coming in 1 or 2 hours” So i decided to log of, watch some streams, play some zelda and just relax… Still no signs to the patch, no patch notes even. Those usually come before the patch itself…

Note to Anet:
Please dont make a time for when the patch comes out unless you can hold it

I am so happy full zerk warrior only ruby orb gear check crap kick if not zerk warrior nooob!?! is getting nerfed… Seriously, stuff like that is what ruining games. When people limit content to certain classes and playstyles

If you want to do DPS, run dungeons etc. warrior will never go wrong. Warrior is like the most wanted class (Along with guardian and mesmer) and they can have some great damage.

Myself play necro, and are happy with it

If you waited for 5 years the game is not the problem here. its you. I know the feel, when you wait for it for that long you get so hyped up through the years and you will get dissapointed.

Back on topic. As the guy over me stated guardians and mesmer are a good choice. They are both really wanted in dungeons along with warriors.

Myself, play a necro and have done so for 750 hours. I love it so much since the “Tankyness” and AOE abilities, but they are not really wanted in dungeon (Heck, on 750 hours i have been rejected like… 2-3 times and thats because the leader thought i ran the basic condition build, but im not) so its not a big deal…

Necro are also getting buffed in the next patch (1-2 hours from now, so excited) SO we’ll see.

But a guardian will never go wrong, since they have great survivability and are wanted for pretty much everything

Why do people quit the game after reaching 80..? Its because they are only interessted in PvE and Anet keep making temporary content, so there is nothing for players to keep playing for…

Apparently, its already in the game files, so its coming soon!

Most people on dragonband are in World versus world… Dragonbrand is ranked number 5 in WvW, so its a WvW server, not PvE.

Sucks to say it, but thats where most people are

Necro! After played it for 800 hours i can say this is my class…

I have tried leveling alt. I ended up with a lvl 55 thief, 39 ele and a level 3 engie…

I can’t play without the amount of AOE a necro can give and the insane amount of HP (31k atm) and death shroud.. Everything else is to squishy for me

Ok, so… It seems like you don’t like necro at all…? You complain about every single aspect of it, so why don’t reroll?

Anyways, with the bleed and minion AI issue, why don’t you run a well build? They are great!

High burst damage is fine, BUT this game has kittened it up… Like hundred blades is fine, since people ca neasily move out of it. But the thing is… In this game, toughness doesnt even work. If you had full soldiers gear you should have quite high defence, and still get hit for 15k… Without armour you would probably get hit for 16k. So the toughness does barely work. Thats the problem in this game. Going full glass cannon should punish you

Sororita.3465:

done,done,done,done,done. finally.

Congrats! I need spark left for my one… How did you get yours?

Rookni.2469:

I think people should stop being surprised that RoF fights back. A difference in ranks do not mean a difference in player skill. I would rather say alot of them are better players than what we have faced in higher tiers. The only difference is coverage. Stop acting surprised that they fight back or that their guilds have the ability to farm our pugs. RoF. You will not win this week. It is just how WvW work atm unfortunatly. Hope however to clash with your groups and guilds during our eventnights this week. Looking forward to it since I never met RoF

Our problem is the night… We have no commanders on at night, so we lose alot points then…

7/10. I like that gadds sounds like “gods” but i didnt really like the “E” at the beginning

Mine is: Necromancer thats called “Zokeer”

Not sure… i know they fixed it for final rest, but im not sure about that one…

I have been tossing in 4 random rare weapons (As long as they are level 80) since march, and this happend 2 days ago

Best: Divinity’s reach

Worst: Black citadel… Horrible place

They should fix life siphon.. Seriously, with the trait making it 50% i still only siphon for like 30-40 hp

Anet has stated many times, they wont release patch notes until 1-2 hours before the patch release… that is because they never know what they get to finish, and what if something isnt ready for the patch. So this cant be real. They dont even make the patch notes before like 2 hours before the patch is released

I run a well and siphon build, IF this is true, im quite sad.. Jon Peters said necros should be happy, but the well CD aint to good actually. Sure, its good but if thats all, im not impressed. I hate how they focus most on condition builds and not siphoning….

Softspoken.2410:

Well…

To be honest? Death Shroud already has life blast and life transfer. It doesn’t really need much more for power builds.

That said, you mentioned wells. May I presume your biggest problem with wells is when people insist on walking out of them? Torment (and the implied control conditions that go with Tainted Shackles) may help you keep them in place.

That could be true.. also, i can place well behind them, and give them torment and fear them into my wells for some great dps.. But still, i fear that torment will be useless without tons of condition damage, because if its not, it will be to OP with alot of it.

Therefor, people will still move out of my wells with torment, since they would get killed alot faster if they stand inside it

Ok so… I was excited at first, with the new condition and all, but… Didnt Anet say this “new DS 5 skill” would have to be usefull for both condition and power builds?

This seems like a condition that hurts the enemy, and doesnt that mean it will only be viable by conidition builds? I HATE the condition build… it terrible in WvW, to much condition removals. Looks like another patch where my power/well build wont get any love.. I was hoping for a life spihon buff… Well, we dont know yet, but i doubt it

Ok, i have kind of changed my mind here… Didnt they say this new skill would have to work for every build?

How can this possible work for a power build? Just another patch for the boring, dull condition build.. Sigh

Lily.1935:

The necromancer is dead to me.

I see what you did there!

Im happy with this! The new condition seems great in combination with wells! Either stay in the wells and die, or move out of them to die. My only fear right now… the new condition will hit for like… 20 damage and people will just teleport around and it wont trigger

This will be fun!

1. Torment the enemy
2. Put down wells behind the enemy
3. Fear the enemy with terror trait
4. Laugh at the body of the enemy!

Great combo

Ok, so this is no QQ thread. Not at all.

I didnt plan on going for my precursor yet. I wanted to buy all my T6 mats first since then i would have all my gifts. But today something happend. I was doing my daily world boss route, and in the end i had 8 rares. I forged them all, and got the howl (Warhorn precursor). I sold it for 90 gold and therefor i bought all my T6 mats and got my gifts.

Now, the precursor is the only thing left. I know it is cheaper to craft my own rares to toss in.

i am going to the dagger. The precursor is 600 gold and no way im going to farm that. I know i might waste 600 gold in the MF without getting it, and i know its gambling. I wont rage or be upset if i waste it all, UNLESS i have actually spent 600 gold, which i doubt is going to happen anyways.

So, since i have to craft daggers to forge whats the cheapest way to craft them?

The cheapest 80 rare dagger on the TP is 29 silver, so… Should i buy tons of mithril ore and make ingots of, and then buy the insignia or should i buy the mats and then craft the insiginia?

For the insignia i need like 15 venom sacks etc. so if im going to make like… 100 daggers, that makes it 1500 venom sacks? Thats like way to many to buy in a bunch…

What are your advice to making daggers to toss in the forge?

After 997 hours, i just got Howl in the MF! i just randomly forged 4 rares i got from events (2 dagger, 1 warhorn and 1 spear) and got howl

This made me able to buy almost ALL the T6 mats i needed for my legendary.. precursor to go.

Well… When “A normal” necro patch is changing tooltips, a good one for necros is most likely name change for one of the skills… Or something

Druitt.7629:

The Necro forums are the most complaining of the forums, though.

^ This… If you want to enjoy the class, dont readu to much here

Ok, so i am by no means glass cannon, and i don’t like it. I build toughness and vitality myself, but something about it just feels so completletly broken.

It seems like toughness makes mobs aggro you. I always have the highest toughness in my group, and i ALWAYS tanks. Even if i run into the fight LAST the mobs stop attacking the other guys, and go on me.

Last night, while me and 5 others where doing the eye of zhaitan group event in orr, i got so kitten ed of because of this. I ran in, got aggroed and because toughness is no godly skill in this game because of “No tanks”, i died quite fast anyways. I respawned and ran back. When i went into the room where the eye was, he instantly started attacking me, and downed me fast.

This is stupid Anet… Seriously. Toughness doesnt even help that much because you dont want a holy trinity. Therefor its impossible to “tank”.

I have another character aswell, that dont have that much toughness, and i NEVER gets attacked in group fights on that one. Heck, i even used my main (a necro) and changed gear to test it out. Never attacked. I equipped my toughness gear and got instantly targeted.

They should find a new way for mobs to find targets or make toughness actually work

I dont hope they change much actually… I LOVE necro at the moment. Will marks, AOE life siphon.. Everything. Its perfect… I have spent over 700 hours on my necro and im close to getting my legendary on it. If they change it, im going to be SAD

Vol.5241:

hours played doesn’t mean much.

What means a lot more is what you did for those 3000 hours.

3000 hours farming shelt/pen? Yeah you’re unlucky
3000 hours playing wvw? You aren’t gonna get a precursor that way
3000 hours playing dungeons? Same as above.

kill rate per hour is more important than hours played. Of course there is no way to check that in game but everyone knows their playing habits.

You have a good point, but you do you realize precursors drop quite “often” in WvW? By often i mean, often for precursor

So, in the past few days this issue has started coming up for me. I press on an enemy, but nothing happens. The only way i can target someone is by pressing TAB. This is problematic, because when i do WvW or dungeons i do want to attack the one everyone else is attacking. But when its like 20 enemies and i have to tab through everyone its quite hard… Im also used to just pressing the enemy.

It usually goes away after like 20-30 minutes and fixes itself, but its surely annoying

Anyone else having this issue?

This week is awesome! When i saw we were facing RoS and Wsr i was like.. Oh kitten! Not RoS!

And the first thing i see is a bunch of RoS attacking our keep like 5 minutes after the reset and RoS taking the lead.

I have had some amazing fights this week, and alot of SM swapping. Thanks for the awesome fights lets enjoy these last 2 days!

Lichloved.3218:

I love casters, especially those that have great aoe, control, support, and sadistic trickery at their disposal. Damage less of a thing for me than mass buff/debuff/control

Thats the necromancer in a nutshell. We are GREAT with debuffs. Corrupt boon is a skill we have, it allow us to change ALL the buffs (Boons as they are called) on our enemies into conditions. We can also give ALOT of bleeding and vulnerability. This makes us one of the best, if not the best condition damage dealers in the game.

Also, AOE is amazing if you choose to go with wells (My personal favourite build). By using a staff all your skills will be AOE, aswell as the wells you can use in the utility slots. I will post a video here of my build and you can see how much AOE i got, aswell as condition damage by just using my AOE skills

WvW and legendary grind

I seem to never get tired of WvW

Fix incoming. I am sure they will fix it, because its a tooltip issue

There is a similar thread in the crafting forum, which is pretty populare
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/crafting/Post-YOUR-legendary-progress/page/8#post2226861

Anyways, i am aiming for incinerator.

I have everything i need expect for a few T6 mats and my precursor…

I didnt read it all, since its a wall of text. But i assume you are hating towards the thief, and therefor i have to say.

..AND the thief got found and 1 hitted by another guy
