Guild Wars 2

Where do lvl 84 mobs spawn in Arah?

Yeah just tried, it is indeed instant. Guess I used corners then.

Being an idiot in a dungeon and trying to get most loot with least effort in the open world are different things though.

Subjective. The less platforming there is in dungeons the better they are for me. Especially if it involves multiple people acting at the same time. Physically impossible to do alone things annoy me.

And it’s not the easiest task to design a trap/puzzle that doesn’t get repetetive. Since we run same dungeon paths many times same puzzle with same solution will become a rudiment, while a puzzle with changing solutions or a puzzle requiring reaction is way too much of an abstract thing to judge.

I’d personally have another boss.

How come Sandy mentioned Eagle runes in the guide at Dulfe’s but not 5x Infiltration. Doesn’t that make more sense as a budget cut?

spoj.9672:

You do realise the illusionists channel auto attack hits for a lot? Even a warrior gets rekt if they dont have CC or an invuln. Its not an issue in a group. But solo its erggghhh.

It’s not on an instant cooldown I believe. Also line of sight-able though not as sure there. And if you absolutely must kill one of them you sure can prepare at least 2 control skills.

I just remember that I had to 1v1 those few times and didn’t have much problems, but yeah, I play a warrior. Classes with lower hp pools and less self-buffs would have more problems I guess.

Using weapons with frequent wide aoe attacks is good for you and your group when killing waves of risen. When large amounts of people are present that is.

Actually even using less damage output and aoe buffs is somewhat good since the mobs die very fast anyway there and doing slightly less damage to them leaves more room for tagging to other people. But I doubt anyone acts out of this reasoning and/or switches for boss events. Still, has some sense in it.

Kinda puzzled with all the risen illusionist entries myself but I’m looking from a 1v1 perspective.

Otherwise yeah, when fight is stationary and against multiple targets chaos storm will screw you unless illusionists are controlled or you extremely outdps.

Ariete The Phoenix.8276:

Back in the LA attack the Elite blademaster was able to FGS RUSH. If you immobilized it and he rushed, it was a FGS rush. Insta kill…

I believe risen jesters do that. But they’re a rare sight so not sure. I remember guys dying to one in similar way but since it was a champion they could be dead to bombs as well.

Nightmare knights can live up to their name if you can’t permablind them.

Does anyone send invites atm though? Since I didn’t get one.

To throw some favourites in.
Risen high wizard (using Twilight skillset)
Nighmare knight
Champion risen jester

Would love seeing first and third used somewhere outside of open world. Such cuties.

Yeah, okay, we all learned from this thread that 10% damage is a minor thing.

God bless the playerbase.

Taku.6352:

Well if they would for some weird reason turn on collision models FGS rushing would be even easier because you could just go up to the bosses tummy and rush away against it.

Well this sure cracked me up.

10/10 ANet give collision please.

Give people collision and they will complain about collision \:D/

I am bloody stupid forgetting north America exists.

I’d like an invite to the EU guild.

Risen High Wizard :D

And I died to Brie. Twice.

Does anyone want to finish Arah p2 on EU? Cause I am very done.

Lupicus is not supposed to drain me through dodge animation.

Rostelecom please stop.

An invite please. I can solo Arah paths but I don’t know kitten about many other things.

Can’t be sure those fully share triggers with slaying potions/sigils.

Almost reported armor clipping to the fashion thread.

On a completely different note, I am so doing a full ranged run of Arah when I finish Kudzu. Full ranged warrior the dream.

Good day.

Sylvari, female.

[&C3kFAAA=] Vigil’s Honor Leggings (light)

[&AgEtDgAA] Dryad Coat (Sylvari cultural tier 1)

Mismatching hip size.

Screenshots with ingame AA on/off.

Difficulty is very subjective. Estimated time is a harsh, strict but just way of measurement.

NovaanVerdiano.6174:

God I loved that fight and the music that went with it. I always wished that to be redesigned as boss fractal. Wasn’t the hardest encounter, but I had quite a lot fun with it.

Can see Ultraviolet phase nets of rays scaling through the levels. From LS level to Touhou.

Marionette and Scarlet’s holohrams fights could actually be cool redesigned for 5.

And obligatory

obal.3218:

Fall of Abaddon

kitten dirty Kiel supporters.

Wethospu.6437:

Screenshot can be easily faked if anyone wants to have a malicious intent. And it kind of adds unnecessary extra work.

Well, you’re the captain here.

Hayman.7301:

“Verify that undead slaying works against oozes (vile, P1 boss)”

Undead slaying works against oozes (Veterans and fist P1 boss)

No offence, but a screenshot of your combat log would help. Or a series of screenshots. Or a video. But at least one could be cool.

Weth, you should edit OP to remind people to take screenshots as well I believe.

Fun is subjective. I find warrior fun to play but obviously many people don’t.

What you could do is look up dungeon meta builds/rotations and try them out a dozen of times in the mists. Like elementalist pre-cast into lightning hammer or, I dunno, thief backstab spam with correct amount of actions in between, all that jazz.

Dungeons aren’t exactly limited to standard rotations and obviously changes happen once in a while but this should give you an idea of what you’re gonna be doing majority of time. Then pick whatever seems fun.

Until he becomes invulnerable to immobilize \:D/

Rising Dusk.2408:

have your slayer achievements determine your percent damage bonus/reduction, and then you get those bonuses passively all of the time. So if you maxed out “Undead Slayer” you would get +10% damage to undead and -10% damage taken from undead, etc.

This actually sounds cool and makes sense. Although that leaves the slot for stones/oils.

Grimezy.5679:

5 people in a party.
Each person uses slaying potion for 10% damage.
5 × 10% = 50% extra damage.

It…

It doesn’t work like that.

That’s quite precise.

I’m just happy I can get Scarlet’s hairdo.

Not to mention most of the 8/9/10% cost coppers as well.

So regular krait and Nightmare are inculded in the Toxic Alliance? Or how does this work?

And what about the Molten Allience part then?

Mage crusher is pretty easy with projectile destruction/reflection. If everything fails just take him to the statue and kite around it, much more breathing room here.

But yeah, can’t really eat his autoattacks on thief.

Chilli.2976:

if I fail to dodge or evade her shot, I’m instantly dead, and the same goes for most classes

I fail to understand why is this bad.

I’m under an impression that you consider warrior a class with the highest dps value.

HELLruler.4820:

Cmon, I came here to know which class is the best so I can get TVH gear, let it using #1 and alt+tab until monsters are dead and I’m still alive and shining

Sounds like healing bombs.

It’s amazing that you put a joke I had in my head together, Guang, and with numbers, no less. Great minds think alike.

Thiagugu.9682:

If it’s anything like the concept art, I want it. Why Arenanet, WHY???

Looks like a mix of CoE armors across the classes. With shinies.

Well, I don’t go phalanx unless I join something like 2 thieves, necro and a mesmer and people look competent.

I carry a force + battle greatsword for those cases. Otherwise I just don’t go for these traits.

Though I generally prefer the selfish 6 5 0 0 3. If all goes terrible and wipes occur I’d rather have my own dps values for backup and if it doesn’t in a pug environment it’s usually a very minor slowdown compared to EA builds or the like.

But I’m very lax with group requirements, perhaps I’d run more group oriented builds otherwise.

I believe you don’t have permanent group 25 might without strength after signet and the double might from FGJ end.

Ranged players during Lupicus screw up the boss encounter for everyone. At the very least by making it longer due to shadowstep invulnerability.

And Lupicus not as hard as people make him seem. I had first timers from my guild melee him without wiping. Grubs, misused reflects/stability/aegises but noone died.

I had a dream where conjurable weapons became karma consumables.

Woke up confused.

Vox Hollow.2736:

I wanted to interject the idea this thread might be getting the posts it does, because it’s a hard topic to generate a conversation around. If composition is one of your concerns, there’s not much to say because you assimilate and move on. If composition isn’t one of your concerns, there’s not much to say because you don’t have a vested interest at all.

It’s like you’re taking the words right out of my mind and shaping them nicer with these posts.

I’d disagree with TA being hard and would actually recommend it. Nightmare paths, that is. There’s fun to be had, and some skill to apply while bosses have room for mistakes.

best way

Look at these filthy exploiters having no fun.

They way you spoke suggested that you think it should be considered an exploit.

You never outright said that though, that’s true.

Mac.3872:

because it SHOULD BE impossible to solo group content

Mind enlightening everyone why?

Get more guilds.
