i know its ‘ok’ why would you care : warrior and guardian no worries even without gear.

One kick, swipe, or phase 2 aoe shot is instant down on my guardian at full health.

I would rather poke my own eyes out than run a build that couldn’t eat one frenzied blast in phase 2 you masochist. But from what I’m gathering, OP is saying that warriors are such an easy class and everyone is a noob for running them instead of thieves because thieves take more skill? So why run a class that is harder to run and brings less to the party?

Why is it the teacher’s job to go out of their way and try to force feed people information that they have no interest in learning? How about the inexperienced player goes out and learns on his own (yes, it’s possible, that’s how people originally learned) then just joins groups once he is experienced. OP is an idiot.

This is a classic case of “someone else is getting what they want when I am not”. You sir are the one who ruins dungeons.

You really can’t go wrong with ranger runes, but never use eagle. The 5% damage bonus on rangers is unconditional on all professions so eagles couldn’t possibly do anything but lose dps.

It seems logical that they purposely made the lfg tool the way it is to make it more difficult for people to be picky about who they pick up in their team. Once the people start to flow in it becomes increasingly difficult to kick.

Scholar is definitely the superior option as long as you can stay above 90 a solid portion of the time. A base 10% damage multiplier is exceptionally better than crit damage since crit damage scales so poorly.

These two people aren’t doing things my way in their group I joined? That is worthy of a kick..

GG man very nice video, I hate how often he resets with backstab too :P

Lol, endless entertainment.

Well that just makes everything all better now don’kitten Shucks I’m sorry fellas. I didn’t realize ya’ll was on the short bus.

WvW is the short bus of PvP.

People keep saying this, but somehow I think that a game mode with 0 build diversity whose entire goal is to sit on a point longer than someone else and has a mediocre following can’t really claim supremacy. Then there’s that whole eSport thing that imploded spectacularly and still has ANet feebly trying to promote it. ANet has finally decided to throw sPvP a bone by creating more match types. I guess over a year late is better than never?

WvW GvGs were pulling in 1k-2k viewers fairly consistently for the top guilds and 200-1k for the smaller guilds. That’s not a small number of viewers by any means, and they were happening almost every day of every week. I do agree that the vast majority of it is unskilled pugs who probably wouldn’t know what the terms synergy or optimization mean. However, I think people are remiss to ignore that entire side of the game because they drink the ANet kool-aid a little too heavily.

Anyways, back on topic: full cleric’s is bad in PvE and also very bad in WvW. In terms of PvE, you should be running full Berserker and learning how to dodge. As for WvW, you have zero vitality, low power, zero crit chance, and zero crit damage. You could easily drop down to 500 – 800 Healing Power and sit safely at 3.1k Armor, 1.9k-2k power, 20-30% crit chance, 60% crit damage, and 20k or so health. Healing power is a very good stat, but people tend to over-invest at the detriment of other stats.

Edit: I’d also like to know which server this Melody person is on. Judging by the use of the term Havoc, I’d guess one of the T1 blobfests.

Melody smokes you like a blunt, son.

Or just don’t skip anything, I don’t even know where the jumps are and I seem to do fine.

That isn’t a solution. In every dungeon team there will always be one person who was able to create the instance and 4 others who are at his mercy.

What profession? Generally just takes alot of practice.

GG man very nice to see you doing lupi without having easy mode on!

I wouldn’t bring a Warrior to CM over an ele or guardian.

Of the all possible content you could mention, you name the DG where Projectile Reflection/Disruption are everything that matter…Grats.

Arah is much more projectile-heavy than CM. A single mesmer can totally neutralize something like half of the bosses in that dungeon.

I didn’t say it was the only one.

Reflects are probably one of the most OP things in Gw2 PvE atm, that’s a fact.

If its one of the most op things then why is it not needed?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKy67S6uvNU watch this NO protections skills all the way dps and he beat arah solo. Keep in mind that arah is one of the hardest dungeon so the same goes to other dungeons as well.

Reflections are undoubtedly the most overpowered mechanic in PvE, if you don’t know that by now then you must be playing the wrong game or something.. I’m not sure when the word “overpowered” began to mean “impossible to play without” but your logic is horribly flawed.

spoj.9672:

The main thing that slowed your time down was your build. Just saying.

Pretty much this… I could likewise say that using flesh wurm was “easy mode”. It didn’t speed up your time and was only there as a safety measure. And the fact that he was able to beat your time by a substantial margin with an “easy mode” build just goes to show that you did something wrong… right? Easier + faster > Harder + slower

Charr Necro 15 sec cd dodge skill is ez mode, yes im hating

Easy mode? lol…

Warrior lollloloolol faceroll easy. But really grats very nice run

I used 20 30 10 10 0.. I’m not sure I’d be able to drop the energy sigil since I don’t have the vigor. I am also not sure how much more lupicus I’ll be doing, haven’t done any in a week and I have no intentions of doing more in the near future unless something changes.

Cool, let me know. I’d be interested to see how much time you actually lose.

That’s why I did it.

I don’t buy into grub’s slowing you down, sorry. I let him eat grubs on all classes now and haven’t noticed a difference in my damage/time. I lost time in the fact that he used aoe in phase 2 right before my fiery rush everytime.

Ele Solo 4:07

:P

I usually just burn 3 dodges on thief. You’re still gonna die a good portion of the time, but there’s not much you can do about that. Also, don’t trust pistol whip it’s very ineffective at lupicus for the evade, it takes way too long to trigger and will get you killed more than it will save you.

With or without feline grace? I just spent another 2 hours getting killed even though i’m spamming the hell out of dodges. Don’t have a problem running out of them, i just get hit through supposed evade frames. kitten es me off to no end.

Yeah I used feline grace when I did thief, that allowed me to be able to burn 3 dodges for aoe and still have one incase he swipes right after. You can also do double dodge forward, withdraw backward, dodge forward again. But again, I died in phase 2 way more one my thief than anything else. You just have to wade through the bad rng.

Force/force does stack, two force on two weapons will give 10%. Before you criticize me, it is a very easy test in heart of the mists.

It is posts like this that make me keep coming back to this forum.

a t s e.9614:

in PvE you pretty much only need 3 things ( might,fury, stability, vulnerability)

lol

Lupicus is the only boss in this game that is well designed actually. Stop complaining about the only fun part of this entire game, there is so much to truly complain about. How about instead of posting on here about how hard it is, go back in and keep trying until you’re better at it. If it can be soloed with relative ease by a good portion of the community, you shouldn’t have too many issues with a 5 man team.

Bunnehboo.6025:

I like how some of the comments in the thread and shaming the OP for being in cleric’s gear, and completely ignoring the topic of the thread just because they want to troll.
~Bravo

Well he came on this forum (which is full of kittens) and started ranting about inexperienced players joining his dungeon runs, when he is the one that is complained about constantly by everyone on this forum for being useless. Maybe all his inexperienced pugs were dying because their team didn’t have any damage.

Do you really think the healing power from your gear is helping you keep pugs alive? If it was, then this post wouldn’t exist. So you might as well switch to useful gear since clearly the cleric’s thing isn’t cutting it. You even get to keep most of your support options.

I’m still not sure why a less optimized team would be more interesting to watch.. but what do I know, right?

So now the community is against “faceroll team compositions”? I don’t get it.. is the implication that every speedrun team should intentionally gimmp themselves to provide more entertainment? I mean the, ENTIRE POINT of speedruns is to say “Hey, I know this thing is very easy but to prove to you that I’m good, I’m going to do it faster than you can”. It makes no sense to me at all to say that a high dps oriented team composition makes things “uninteresting” or “too easy”. Why in the name of kitten would I (or anyone else for that matter) want to watch a kittenty team composition do anything when you know that 5 idiots with a good team composition could do it faster.. is everyone seriously THAT bored of this garbage game that we now must go this far to be entertained?

Yeah i’ve had this issue for at least a few weeks. In the ~5 cof1 runs I’ve done recently it’s happened everytime but once.

It’s not about exclusion. He gave an incorrect answer that was horribly counterproductive. “How do I stop lupi from resetting on doors?” “He doesn’t reset on doors.”. Not very helpful.. But really your best bet is to keep him off the doors and stay outside of his model to avoid moving him. Don’t stand too far away though, or risk eating single target projectiles and domes.

Truthfully it is statements like those that make me want to power through the rng game and get better times, lol.

The rng aspect of mesmer is quite frustrating so I’m not sure if I’ll put forth that much effort :p I am also getting a bit sick of lupicus xD

Chuckdatass.6312:

If he resets its because you have gotten out of combat. I have pulled lupi out of those doors when testing some things, so the doors are not the issue. The issue seems to be all party members are either all dead/out of combat. Stay in there at throws some dps his way.

No

Blood Red Arachnid.2493:

With the way you guys are all describing, I wouldn’t blame others for zerk hate on those grounds as well. If their experience with berserkers is someone who rushes ahead, face plants over and over, then QQs at the group for not doing it right, then what are they supposed to think?

Maybe its just because I PUG a lot, but the most important thing I’ve learned running berserker is how to survive regardless of circumstance. Sure, it is annoying when I charge ahead on my zerker thief only to find everyone is pole positioning and max range, but my death is my fault for not gauging the group properly and not withdrawing fast enough to realize that fact. It is a lesson I learned a long time ago: never build under the assumption that someone else is going to carry you.

I think you are mistaking being carried for a player carrying their weight.

Well it’s probably because people down alot in berserker gear. Of course the reasonable explanation for that is because eventually any class (even guardians) simply run out of survival skills/dodges and if the dps of your party is too low, the guy in berserker gear doing the most damage will be the first to down and deemed a “noob zerk”. It’s debatable if it’s worth it to be down so much but doing so much damage while you’re up, but I don’t pug alot so I’ll leave that discussion to the rest of you.

Good game man! I look forward to going back on mesmer

Speedclears are all about making things easier and faster.

Well lazy marc never updates his thread :p

Lol, thanks man.

So you and your friend go on my video, you both insult my run and tell me that I’m “dishonorable” and my run didn’t require any skill and yet I am the bad person? It’s funny, I just told someone that I was glad I was right about you being a more humble person. Maybe since english isn’t your first language you don’t understand that it was you who provoked me, not the other way around..

The wall is semi reliable for locusts but you still get some. Also I try to keep track of how many locusts there are and how many bites I can take during a 100b before I whirlwind, but generally speaking on a warrior if you get overwhelmed you can just camp axe for an extra few seconds and they die quite quickly.

You’re the king of RNGville btw…

I suppose that is one of the things that I am king of

Usually changes day to day.. lol

5:08 Warrior Solo

Yeah sometimes, but usually if you have teleports (sword 2 on guard/thief) and you find a sweet spot, you can ride it out until he’s dead. Of course it is not beneficial on a guardian, but still. I was actually able to hold one down for all of phase 3 in my most recent warrior run.
