Guild Wars 2

I wonder: Is something like this possible with a guardian?
I ask because guardians get a lot of retaliation too...

When studying Mesmer builds I often read about PU builds.
But what does “PU” mean?

Okay, so I never played a Mesmer and do not really have an idea what I’m doing.
But I thought it would be cool if you could play this class in a way that enemies don’t reach you.
So I came up with this build.
The weapons and armour are exotic only because I don’t know if I will be able to afford the ascended stuff.
What do you say, is my build any good?

I tried to make a build for this but I’m not sure how good it is.
What do you say?

I want to give a little attention to wvw and wonder if a death shroud build would be a good idea for running in zergs.
Any advice?

How much toughness do I need?

I play my warrior with a hammer and really like her that way.
I want to spec her defensive, with healing shouts.
But I’m not sure how much healing power I need to be a good group healer.
Someone an advice?

Specific Game Mode:
PvE

Proposal Overview:
Give us the possibility to have a real relationship with our pets.

Goal of Proposal:
Having a pet does feel as if you were an engineer who summons a tower: there is no personal relationship at all between you and your pets.
You cannot tame them, you cannot train them, you cannot feed them.
Also all the pets of a kind look the same, there is no individuality.
In Wow I had lots of fun with my ranger, taming a beast, training it up and searching for pets with a different look.
I miss that a lot in GW 2 which is why I started a ranger 3 times but always ended up with deleting my characters – I found playing a ranger did not really feel like being a ranger.

Proposal Functionality:
The designers and programmers would have quite some work to do….

Associated Risks:
I do not think that giving us the possibility to craft collars for pets with small boni or feed them would make the ranger overpowered.

Do you consider Assassin’s Reward worth taking?
If you use it, which build do you have and what weapons do you use?

Would be great if you could combine classes, but I think that won’t happen…

I was lucky enough to find the recipe for Vallog’s Demise some time ago – but what do I gain from it?
Nothing, nobody ever buys that thing.
I think that finding a special recipe (and crafting in general) should have some value.
It takes a lot of fun out of the game when you find a special crafting recipe and it is worth nothing…

nagrim.5634:

What about you can reset all our hearts only when u achieved world completion ,

That is exactly what I mean.
It would be a bonus feature for those who complete the world.

I have 6 level 8 characters and do not want to create a new character.
But I like the feeling of exploring and I would love to do the heart quests again, so this is my idea:

When you enter a map you can choose to reset the heart quests there.
The yellow hearts on this map than become blue.
You can do the quests again and earn adventure points (AP).
Adventure points can be exchanged into gems, obsidian shards, laurels or Karma.

Leeching Venoms: Shadow Arts, master
Steal health when triggering a venom. This can only occur once per strike.
What exactly is meant with per strike?

I use dagger for main hand, and the auto-attack is a 3 strikes chain where the 3rd attack is Lotus Strike which applies poison.

When I use the trait, does that mean my thief is healed every time she uses Lotus Strike?

I imagine that you can buy kits for earrings/tattoos/scars for gems.

I would love to have the opportunity to buy more hairstyles, visible jewellery, tattoos and scars for gems.
As an Asura lover, I would like to give my little thief a set of earrings and perhaps a scar on the cheek (as I role-played a fight between her and a peacemaker, which she lost).

Some new hairstyle would also be great for her….

I’m not quite sure how mimic works but I read it reflects all damage, not only projectiles.
Provided that is so – is it viable to create a build with the focus on reflecting damage instead of doing damage yourself?

Doesn’t it do good damage any more?
Personally I find survival very difficult with my thief when she got confusion.

Will we ever get a + 25% running speed seal like other classes have?
Currently you are forced to use the focus – or be slow….

What do you think about this build for WvWvW?
It’s for roaming around alone as well as for running with a group.

I think about making a Mesmer for PvE & WvWvW.
Does someone have experience with a condition (confusion) build with staff/sceptre & focus?
Focus is a must for me, because of the speed buff.
Can a Mesmer build based on condition damage work at all?

This is my build, it’s for PvE and dungeons.
Would be great when I could get some feedback & tipps. :-)

With this weapons, would you create a build based on condition damage or on critical hits?

Thanks for info.
So: How much toughness should I give my thief on level 80?
I would like to be able to quest alone without dying too often, but I do not want to be an aggro magnet in dungeons or the fractals…

I often here from friends that as soon as their thieves have more than 1 400 toughness they have aggro problems.
Is this just subjective or does the system really target you more often when you have more toughness?
My little thief is level 20 only, so I could not test her in a dungeon so far.

I often have it that my thief is in stealth but NPCs attack her nevertheless.
Since A-Net is separating PvE and PvP now – could we thieves please get back our stealth mechanics?
I mean because you can separate now the ways stealth works in PvE and PvP.

Wiser with Age.3714:

PvE, PvP, or WvW? That can really change the answer.

PvE & dungeons.
I never go sPvP nor WvWvW, I always forget they exist.

I just cannot decide, I like Shadow Shotbut I also like Pistol Whip.
What is your opinion?
Somehow I got the impression that with Pistol Whip my character auto-evades, making her unhittable….

I play a dagger/pistol + short bow thief and wonder how much toughness should I give her when she will be level 80?

Does one know a good build for this weapon combination?
I have created this build, don’t know if it’s god…

Is it affected by healing-power?
I mean when it is passive, not upon activation.

I would love to buy for my cute little Asura lady a summer dress, sandals and a sun umbrella.
Can you please put some such cloth into the shop?

Does it make sense to build a Mesmer around condition damage?
Can a condition (staff) build be a good shatter build?

I would love to play an ele, but I know that I’m not the fastest player so I fear that I might be too slow to have fun with the class.
Does someone know a good build that isn’t exactly bunker but can take some damage without to die?

Justine.6351:

Anything traited around condition DMG and using the trait shapper images makes clones deal DMG, certainly so with staff clones.

Problem is that condition Mesmer only has bleeding (can conflict with other condition spammers when in a group) and burning (very short duration, doesn’t stack).
I wished we could randomly create [B]every[/B] condition & boon the game knows.

Ansau.7326:

Your build is a phantasm build. It does quite a good job in sPvP an PvE, specially if you manage shatters after phantasms attacks, so you get benefits of both.

Ansau.7326:

PD: I suggest you to change decoy for mirror images. You will take more advantage from shatters with 1 more clone than 3s of stealth.

This build is [B]not[/B] about shattering the clones, this build is about [B]keeping them alive as long as possible[/B] and let them have the aggro.

Does someone know if clones profit from Mesmer stats?
When I equip +toughness gear, will my clones get more armour?

[Edit]: Why does [B][/B] not work here?

Is it possible to use clones like minions?
I have created a build for this: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fgAQNAR8dlwzaonUzoGaNJxZGRf5oUgdvTqgqLfA3A-e
Do you think it would work?

I would like to change my e-mail address too, but the process seems complicated.
I wrote a question to the German support asking to change my address, but they answered they could only to so if I could not log in or had been hacked.

I would love to Play my Little Asura mesmer as a Kind of [I]Arcane Trickster[/I] with 2 daggers.
But Mesmer cannot use daggers and I ask myself why not.
Elementalist and Necromant can use daggers, why not the Mesmer?
Dagger would be a perfectly suitable weapon for the class.

Iruwen.3164:

poison 284 but reduces heal effectiveness).

Mesmer staff attack does no poison, regrettably.
Would like to see that.
If you ask me, Mesmer class needs a rework.

I consider playing my ranger with shortbow/longbow, without a melee weapon set, but I’m not sure how effective that would be.
Anyone here who plays that style?

Thank’s for your advice everyone. :-)
I would prefer to play with a staff, but condition Memser has the problem that the staff auto-attack only inflects bleeding and burning: bleeding is good, but burning doesn’t stack in intensity.
Would be great if A-Net would change that and allow the other conditions& boons too.

With the greatsword you have the same problem as longbow ranger: the range.
And the auto-attack hits 1 target only but often you are surrounded by a bulk of enemies.

I created 2 Mesmers, but deleted both.
Reason was that I have no idea how to play a Memser in PvE.
Can someone give me some hints?
Greatsword or staff, illusions as minions or shatter?

I would like to have the possibility to make someone I like a present.
Could you please
- add gift boxes to the gem store
- allow to fill a gift box with gems and/or stuff from the gem store
- make it possible to send gift boxes via ingame post

Would it perhaps be possible to allow gifting of dungeon marks?

I would love to see some more fractal scenarios & I would love to see some of Tyria’s past.
How did the Asura live before they came to the surface?
How did the Charr get rid of their false gods?
Fractals could tell, hope we see some of these stories some day.

When the game was new, I often got them from compleating maps.
But nowadays they seem to be available via gem shop only.
Ist there a patch note about this anywhere?

I think that porting to the capital city of one’s race should be free of costs.
That way ther would be more live in alle the cities, currently everyone travels toLion’s Arch only.

Please, can we get some more female asura faces?
Cute faces?

I would love to see more armor skins in gem store, especially robes that look like robes.
Currently when you want to roleplay a female mage you just don’t find the right outfit.

Could the hairystyling kit from the gem store be adjusted so that you can give the hair accessories of you character any of the colors you have unlocked with that char?

As it is now, collecting materials and selling them earns you money – with crafting you loose money.
Especially the higher recipes for which you need ectos are a losing game.
Could you please do something to make crafting profitable?

I’m even unable to got to desktop, I have to restart my pc completely.
I use Win 7/64, my graficcard is a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 Ti Windforce, 2GB.
Under system control > administration I get the message:

Ereignisfilter mit Abfrage "SELECT * FROM InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" konnte im Namespace “//./root/CIMV2” nicht reaktiviert werden aufgrund des Fehlers 0×80041003. Ereignisse können nicht durch diesen Filter geschickt werden, bis dieses Problem gelöst ist.

Kan someone tell me what’s the problem?
