Guild Wars 2

for shatter in pvp, i find pack runes pretty nice, they give precision, power, might, fury, swiftness,

wow, a creative topic/way to give a link in dungeon forum and avoid landing in linksville xD

I once did almost solo. 1 person went to def lionguards. I killed captain, helped Caithe, used EMP grenades and then opened all chests xD if you are engi, you can probably solo whole thing by placing turrets at lionguards

But folks, its the brightness (aura) that makes these fiery swords so practical sometimes. Hint: Obsidian sanctum jumping puzzle and the dark room – you don’t need to carry a torch if you have two fiery sword skins equipped The aura is so useful in dark places that reducing its intensity would actually make the skin useless.

Are you even serious, skins are not made to be useful, but pretty. I believe with toned down aura it would still be good light in dark rooms, you probably don’t have a Jormag’s Breath so you didn’t experience it’s FAR stronger brightness than FDS provides, despite having a smaller aura.

Edit: adding some screens

I am also sick of any magitech/technology in the game. I want some magic, ancient magic, mysteries, sorcery. Asuras are FAR too influential in the game (basically we can give them credit for EVERYTHING, zhaitan defeat, ebonhawke survival, scarlet, aetherblades, mists travel etc etc)

Looks alright, I love the hair!
here is my most recent screenshot

At the end of last Prophecies mission, Scepter of Orr mysteriously vanishes, I heard it’s Glint who hid it. I assume she did the same with Sohothin, although it’s not confirmed

^ I made 2 xD

The icy dragon sword’s aura should be fixed to match the FDS flames IMO

dis lets make things more awesome instead of less.

For me, it would be less awesome if everything in the game would be too shiny X_X
I think Icy sword has a properly scaled aura. It’s not too big and looks like real blue flames. The FDS aura however… doesn’t resemble real flame. It’s a pillar of light instead of fire. Fused weapons are IMO the best to resemble real flames and they are properly scaled as well… only this sword is kinda bugged o.o

Yeah, I like to have some effects, but not too much, have some boundaries people :P
The recent bug with AC skinned legendaries makes me wonder… there are so many people that like the double skinned incinerators. Like being a glowing orange ball is classy? xD
Personally, more attention from me people get, when I see some real fashion, matched dyes with armor and weapons alongside with hair, skin colour etc
Glowing ball are less interesting xD That’s why I made this topic, because I’m changing my mesmer into more fiery with the balhazar backpack, and these swords are too shiny for me T_T

You guys would just like to be a bright shining ball x_x
Anyways, I’m just gonna craft Firebringer in the future, and use it until the FDS aura is toned down eventually. Firebringer aura has smaller flames, but it’s too red

It was perfect in GW1, now it’s just a big pillar of light :c

Don’t you agree the Fiery Dragon Sword aura should be toned down to the level of Jormag’s Breath aura? When Fiery sword is stowed, the flames are so big it seem’s unnatural and overwhelming. I hope some day it will be fixed.

Edit: reading the feedback, I suggest toning down the aura when it’s stowed, and being the same as it’s now when wielded.

zerk staff got a pretty boost in damage! just make sure to put sigil of fire and air inside glad ANet thought about mesmers
/sarcasm off

Lalocat.6793:

I did it once and haven’t been back. I’d like to go finish the achievements but a bunch of them have to be done after the dungeon is technically sort of ALREADY FINISHED. So people who are experienced aren’t going to want to bother doing those parts, just hanging out in there even longer for no extra reward. That is what happened the one time I did it actually. Got to the “end” and half the group left. Seems like more trouble than its worth.

actually for doing above and beyond you get reward chest + you can go open 5 hidden chests

Malediktus.9250:

I would say deal with it. I did 500+ fractal runs and only got 4 fractal skins, none of them I like.
Its part of their charm. If there would be a guranted way to get a fractal skin, let alone one of your choice, they would loose all prestige.

I don’t know if you are in the game for a long time, but let me inform you these skins have no prestige as before 2013 november update, fractal weapon skins vere pretty common and I dropped bunch of them as a casual fractal runner with ~30 personal level at that time. None of them I wanted (mostly staves, scepter and warhorn), but they dropped pretty often.

I think the game mode and the map IS AWESOME, just few things: it’s really not for big groups fighting together. I would like to see such maps with their own achievements etc

I don’t know about numbers for this map, but I’d love to have some 2v2 and the system like random arenas from gw1. No ressing. You win – you pass for the next fight.
it. would. be. awesome.

Finally PvP is getting interesting, and being about PvP and not running around to capture points <3 i’m so excited I can progress by doing some real pvp <3 (but the progress is still limited :c)

thanks for answer

Lord Kuru.3685:

Unskippable cutscenes? No thanks. Especially if you’re going to have so little new content that players are expected to run the same content over and over and over…

2 short unskippable cutscenes are not that bad

I just want one sword. One sword and I won’t get it by doing the dungeon, because the reward system regarding FotM is completely broken/bad. Okay hammer skin is alright as well but it’s optional for me. Besides, how can a full 24/7 PvP player obtain fractal skins without being forced to do pve stuff? :/

I am sick of doing 999 fractals and not getting my most desired skin in the game, I want to have a guaranteed reward

Yes, aetherpath is very fun, provided you have people using brain

short story – i have eye of rodgort, but lidless eye isn’t unlocked. i crafted it, didnt buy. so i should have lidless eye as i used it for some time. but it was over 1.5 year ago

Transmuted items draw name from stat item, not skin item, this result’s in my Heritage Boots being named as “Flame Legion Shoes”, my friend’s Lyss is now pearl handcannon (and btw. in the wardrobe the skin is named chaos gun, and he wanted the name Lyss above all…)

maxinion.8396:

Out of curiosity, what traits do people select when going for 6 in domination? III and XI are obvious, but the last one is so… lackluster. The best one seems to be V (cripple on clone death), but that’s a huge waste in a power phantasm build. I almost prefer going 2/0/0/4/4 just because I like all the traits I select there.

I usually take halting strike for extra dmg on interrupts. you could also take vulnerability on shatter. both traits are pretty weak though, but there is no better option >.> (except for GS trait if you have to range something)

edit: signet recharge is okay too if you use inspiration signet, when pug group doesn’t stack might

I think strength and scholar are on the same level now

you need if you want to unlock pvp reward track permanently, you dont need to do it again to open explo mode

For me, there is nothing to do, because I can’t jump in SAB. I can’t fight mobs in Queen’s Gaunlet. I can’t jump around in Labyrinthine Cliffs anymore. Soutsun Cove ‘cities’ are still swarmed with 324293487 monsters and the whole map is hostile. I can’t earn desired fractal skins because FOTM reward table is definitely broken.
Most of the problem is caused by the nature of living story. Looking back at release, nothing REALLY changed, and we all know playing over 1.5 year the same content can get boring.

I hope ANet wont be afraid of locking people in small map and areas now that the megaserver will exist.
They want us to be cluttered because they are afraid ppl will be too spread if too much content there will be in the game. But the thing is, this only causes loss of players

he doesnt use some of his attacks when you stay inside his red circle

It would be literally awesome, and it would satisfy all the people who hate skipping

Here it is

i’d rather have phantasms utilizing all % modifiers

i wonder if this orb is related somehow to the cataclysm

there is an event with inquests, if its failed, they will infuse a golem with the magic of this orb, and then the golem says “Must—protect—Orr.”

there is also an asura who we can speak with, he tells us about the orb:

What does this have to do with the Inquest?
“Everything! The Inquest are trying to exploit the orb’s power. But it’s magic is too volatile. Who knows what they’ll unleash?”

Just did 49 and I got bad infused ring…. and we had dredge fractal -.- i can’t describe this feeling. this reward system is the reason why i am playing GW2 so rarely

Yaaay!!!
And yes, 2 males

Oh I see :P

It’s beautiful, but I think photoshopped screenshots shouldn’t be considered as fair play

I guess now when ANet will kick off the wardrobe, it will be easier to make “Anise Outfit” so everyone could use it even in combat

thanks <3

HotW story, at the beginning
Sublimatio.6981 & Caro.2710
Spring – the time when ice melts under the heat of our love. <3

I’d rather see GW1 missions in fractals too…

i will never get my desired 2 fractal swords… i play fotm since its release and i can only dream about them

Maybe it’s Anise. (and Anise is Livia under illusion obviously)
E = Exemplar

back in the Opening Ceremony you could ask Anise: " You seem well-informed. What can you tell me about these thugs?"

And she is indeed well-informed:

“The Aetherblades were involved in the murder of a Ship’s Councilor in Lion’s Arch. They appear to have found their way here, better organized and funded than ever.”

Besides, E is said to have a deep voice…

Katastrofi.5816:

And yet… life goes on…

people carry on with their daily lives…

I am very happy Jory survived. She still needs to complete her investigation about Mendel

Not being able to change traits whenever I want, without additional loading screens was literally the biggest issue in running dungeons for me. I am so grateful.

thats sad the pact actually works in living story, after the personal one, but orr is still dead

if anet is not afraid of changing the maps, and let’s everyone do the old PS even if the map is ruined, then why?

15 in Illusions is USELESS as you already have shortened cd on phantasms by sword trait and focus trait!!! when will people realize?

When will you realize the cooldown reduction stacks? Try it. For realz.

Omg. You are right, the tooltip is bugged and it doesn’t show the real cooldown when both traits are active…

^ for this you need only 10 in illusions
