Guild Wars 2

Agony damage a % of your health each second. Normal agony last 3 second, but Jade Maw Agony last for 9 seconds. At 162% HP damage you can survive with good heal (you need to heal yourself for more than 62% while being attack so if you have kitten heal you will still down, but not die.

10-19 : 0 AR
20-29: 10 AR
30-39 : 25 AR
40-49 : 45 AR

If you had a +5AR on these number then Jade Maw agony will damage you for 108% of your HP. You will still need to heal you to stay alive, but any heal skill will do the job. If you add another +5AR, then Jade Maw will do 54% damage to your HP pool so don’t need to heal yourself or take a small beating from the mobs and still survive without any problem. My initial list should be the minimum AR you need to pug in fractal.

Back in the beginning of Fractal i used to play with 2 friends. I had my Guardian, with 1 other guardian and a thief. I still think that its the best base for anything fractal can throw at you. 2 Guardian with a bit of coordination almost 100% reflect uptime (with master of consecration its 100%). The thief stealth can save some situation and make things a lot easier (especially in the dredge fractal). After that i don’t really care. I like a mesmer and a ranger (for Grawl Fractal), but i play with all kind of group. Presently my main guild fractal group is 1 Guardian (me), 1 Thief, 1 Warrior, 1 Necromancer and 1 Mesmer. But, we also have a Warrior, 1 Guardian, 1 Thief and 1 Elementalist that join when they can.

If you find that the heavy condition content is kitten your thief but not on Guardian/Warrior then you don’t play Guardian. Guardian, Thief and Elementalist would be affected, while Necromancer and Warrior would be the less affected, so your point is wrong.

Anyway, I did the Tower of Nightmare with my guardian and 2 friends with their thiefs with no problem.

No you don’t have higher MF in higher fractal. They just change the roll table according to the fractal level. The result is the same for what the mobs drop, but if it was your MF that was changed then you would always have the same kind of reward in each chest level 1 like level 49. And its not the case.

For the precursors thing, there is nothing change about that in the new update. At least they didn’t talked about it anywhere officially. You should have the same chance to get precursors in fractal as you had before.

I hope they fix the Harpies. We keep getting invulnerable on them even if we are in melee and they still can burst us down of knock back us of the plates, this is annoying.

Fixing the Ascalon Fractal not turning you into a charr would also be nice even if its only for the look.

I play high fractal with all of my guildmate and they all have different class. Guardian, Warrior, Mesmer, Ranger, Thief, Elementalist and Necromancer. The only class with which i don’t do high fractal with is Engineer for no particular reason. I simply don’t have any friend that play with Engineer in PvE (I use mine only in WvW and sPvP).

I search in most of the Thread and saw this same question several times. But i didn’t found an official answer about it yet. So i start this thread hoping for a official answer from Anthony Ordon. If he already did, then can someone link me his answer.

I have my back item and 2 rings infused, so in the next update the natural +5 AR will be replace by a Agony Resistance infusion slot with a +5 AR infusion already inside. Now if i’m unlucky and only got +1 AF infusion each time i do a Fractal, after 16 fractal i will be able to craft another +5 AR infusion. Now can I use the +5 AR infusion that i already have in my Item to combine them and get a +6 AR infusion.

Or do I need to do 16 more fractal to craft another +5 AR infusion, combine it with the other one i crafted to get a +6 AR infusion and then replace the +5AR i have in my item by the new +6 AR, destroying my initial +5AR in the process.

Because if this is the case player will to choose between two bad choice. Either don’t use your AR infusion and simply stack them up until you can craft a really high AR infusion and then use this AR infusion on your item, or you upgrade your items as soon as you can, but then you gonna need A LOT LOT LOT LOT more AR infusion to get the same results.

I agree that offensive/defensive infusion slot while having 2 unique ring for each stats is complex for almost nothing. This restrict player to get too much boost in a particular stats. Meaning that you can’t stack all Fine Precise Infusion to get like 7 × 5 = 35 Precision. This may not seem a lot, but if you add up the future Armor, then you could get a +65 precision (which still don’t seem like a lot since its gonna cost A LOT OF MONEY). So this is rather complex to achieve a really small goal.

Anyway, the new AR slot don’t really add any complexity. Now people have some difficulty to understand the change because we only read a few sentence from Anet. But you can fill the blank with answer for Anthony Ordon in this very forum or wait for the actual update to better understand what is going with the new slot.

1. New traits : This would fit nicely with the 10th December update.
2. New skills : The first one was the heal we receive on the last update. Now its probably only the beginning and we’ll receive more over time. But don’t except to get a bunch of skill in one time.
3. Crafting to 500 for armor. I bet in the update after Fractured.
4. Ascended armor. Same as #3, probably in the update after Fractured.
5. Precursor crafting. They already stated that it was near but won’t be ready in 2013 so its gonna be in early 2014.
6. New legendary weapons. Same as the #5, in 2014.
7. New PvP game modes. I don’t recall that at all.
8. Legendary weapons in PvP. : No comment on that from GW2, but it probably gonna come in 2014 with the rest of the legendary/precusor crafting update.

You guys don’t understand.. starting out at square one with nothing… I have to get to level 30 this week or I’ll be behind my friends and we won’t be able to play together? I thought I could play how I want?

Your friend can join you.

But then they wouldn’t be advancing so it isn’t fair to them… I have no choice but to grind fractal levels.

Either this guys is trolling or he just doesn’t follow the update and information about fractal at all.

1) Your ’’fear’’ of doing something not legit only apply for not getting higher than level 49. But you didn’t do any level at all so that’s on you. You had 1 year to get to level 49.

2) If you have friend at level 30+ they will get back at level 30 next week. Then if you never went into fractal and you are level 1 you can still play with your friend. If you are with your friend in a party then you can start a level 30 and participate. At the end of the fractal they gonna be level 31 and you gonna be level 2. Now its a hard way to learn how to do fractal. But if they are really your friend, they gonna make a couple of level 10 and 26 before so you can learn how to play in fractal. At least that’s what i did with about 10 Guildmates of mine.

I’m sure there will be rare drops too. They’re there for ascended weapons, so most likely will be for armor too.

I play this game pretty much daily, and I have yet to see a SINGLE ascended drop. Super-low RNG is not a method for getting drops, it’s pure luck. Which leads back to my original point:

The only way to reliably get Ascended gear is Crafting which means that ANet is not sticking to it’s motto Play the game your way.

Lol are you saying : I didn’t had any drop of ascended weapons so this is bullkitten and i’m mad? Really mature. Personnally, i never had a ascended weapons drop neither, but 2 of my guildmate already have and I saw two people in the map chat linking a box of ascended weapons after world bosses (you can’t craft the box you can only get it in drops). Personnally, i find the Drop rates of Ascended Weapons just right as it is. Ya you can play as you want, Anet never said that you could have everything in the game by playing as you want. You can’t except to get legendary and ascended weapons by doing the Queensdale Zerg. (Joke, but you see my point).

I don’t agree with all the stuff said, but some of it yes. On my first legendary Badge of Honor was way harder to get (at least for me). I remember that after 6 months of playing I had like 200 of them. I had to farm them, and it was Legendary Farm. My guild and I when to the Eternal Battleground jumping puzzle, completed it then we protected the high ground against the two other server while we were all switching to alts and a mesmer was porting us on top of the JP. It took about 2 hours of combat to get everybody and all of theirs alts on the top of the JP and It was epic. We did that three time and the three time we had a really good time to fight our way up there. But later i had like 2k of badge of honor without knowing how and now that i play more WvW i have like 5k of them. This is the kind of stuff we need more in our journey to a legendary.

I won’t give them a rank because it depend on the build and the player that play it. Also and more importantly i don’t think nobody have enough knowledge of more than 1 or 2 professions. I have a level 80 of all profession, but except my Guardian and Engineer i don’t know all the build possible for all profession. Even for Guardian and Engineer i don’t so. I will only give you which class are particularly good at it. The rest of the profession are still good, just less.

WvW Zerg
Necromancer, Warrior

WvW Roaming
Thief, Engineer/Warrior

PvE
Warrior

sPvP
No answer here. My condition damage Engineer can blast through most of these profession, but i can also got kitten by them. It depend so much on the player skills and its build. All profession can be really good or really bad.

The suspicious Bush idea is amazing. And the unsuspicious rabbit too. Lol.

Too many thread already exist about that. Its a core basic design choice made by Anet. They want to make all race equal. You can do a Asura Warrior and its gonna be equal to a Norn Warrior because they want player to do what the hell they want with their character and not push player to create a specific race for each profession because it the best choice. Terra went the opposite way by giving short race more difficult to hit, but with short range in melee so small race make better caster and big race are better in melee. Those two choice are both good, just different. Gw2 went one way, and Terra went the other way. No chance at all that they change that once the game was release and they would be really stupid to change it now. I got a Asura Ranger, a Charr Guardian, a Sylvari Engineer, a Human Mesmer and Sylvary Necromancer. By your logic all of my character wouldn’t be the best choice for their profession. This would be one of the worst change they could do. I don’t say it’s a bad idea for a game (Terra did it really good), but it not good for Gw2.

I used to have Glided Infusion. But that was when you had several silver in loot from mini boss in dungeon. Now, you only get really low number of money from mobs drop and the Glided Infusion only affect those. It doesn’t affect money from Box, chest or bonus and these are the main way you earn gold in the game for now (i don’t count selling stuff and playing the TP, but only when the game actually give you money directly). For me glided infusion is pretty useless now. So i bought Magic Find infusion for my characters. Karmic Infusion bof. Its nice if you need karma since now its harder to get than before. But for me I had enough karma for all i wanted (including 2 legendary) and i still have 1 millions karma.

That is why you can create your own ’’gadget’’ Really? Never heard this term before. Its simply a freaking spreadsheet. At first at was like : wow that stuff i way over my head’’, but if you’re a little comfortable with Excel it super easy and you can create what tool you prefer. You can have access to TP price on gw2spidy.com and download the information on your excel and from then play with the information as you see fit. At this point the only limit is your imagination, since the rest is only basic excel formula. Visual Basic is nice too, but its totally optional.

For the weapons in a Phantasm build you gonna use Sword that’s for sure. After that its you choice.

Best DPS you gonna need Sword in main hand for both your primary and secondary weapons set. If you want a backup plan to go in range in dangerous situation you need the greatsword as your secondary weapons set. GS is less DPS but if you need to range sometime then its your best choice.

After that you all three next off hand weapons are good :
- Focus is less DPS overal (but better burst if used right). It give you swiftness, reflects (if traited for it) and a nice little pull.
- Pistol is probably the best for DPS.
- Sword is between Pistol and Focus for DPS and it have a nice block.

If you go for Greatsword. Then you should either go for Sword/Focus for the utilies (switfness and reflect) or Sword/Pistol for better DPS.
If you go for no Greastsword. Then you should always have Sword/Pistol for primary and then for secondary off hand either use Focus for utilies or Sword for DPS.

Choose your weapons and then you will be able to choose your traits.

knbBlackTemplar.3059:

switch to condition necro. You will need only 30 points in Curse to got all you need and 40 points absolutely free to use (but for nothing).

I just don’t like other gameplay than Well/Siphon on the Necromancer. Its a personnal feeling and say nothing bad about the class. I just don’t enjoy other gameplay. Anyway its not the place to talk about that and its my Necro is my 7th character so its really not a big deal. Have a lot of character that i love to play with.

Few exemple.
- Guardian (Low Hp, High Armor) : They have a HP regen with the Virtue, access to a lot of defensive boons (regen, protection, vigor, etc), have access to Aegis and to protective skill (Wall of Reflection, Sanctuary, etc)
- Elementalist (Low Hp, Low Armor) : They have huge access to defensive boons, the best mobility and the best defensive utility skills (mist form, arcane shield, etc)
- Necromancer (High Hp, Low Armor) : They have two bar of HP with Dearth Shroud
- Thief (Low Hp, Medium Armor) : If they are in trouble they can just disengage in stealth and get the hell out of there.
- Mesmer (Medium Hp, Low Armor) : They are illusion production machine, each time something hit their illusion it doesn’t hit them. They have access to distortion (their own personal invulnerability).

I have two main myself. My Guardian for PvE and my Engineer for WvW. Since my engineer use the grenade kit, i don’t care about a lengendary for him. So i focus all my attention on my Guardian. Personally, i would prefer to focus on 1 character, the character i like the most. Especially since you already have a good looking (and pricy weapons) for you Guardian. Also the Warrior is a profession easy to fill with Legendaries. Eternity, Frostfang, Predator, Prophecies, etc. They are all great looking lengendary.

This would had been a blast a couple of month before. But now, my two main character have all the stories. And because i helped a lot of new guildmates go trough dungeon, all of my characters have AC, CM, TA and CoF story done. So its been a while since the last time i didn’t had a story when i wanted to start a dungeon. Still this is a good idea to keep track of which path you already had done. You can sort of see it i your achievement panel but it only say 3/4 path completed. Which don’t help you in most of the situation.

Also this would be great if you could keep track of which path you completed during the day. This won’t come out often, but sometimes I play a dungeon with some guildmates just after the reset and then log off the game. The next day, some other guildmate want to do the same dungeon and kitten i don’t remember. Did I do this dungeon yesterday before or after the reset?

For master salvage kit you can create Mystic Salvage kit in the Mystic forge. This give you, for less money (because you have a lot of Mystic Stone from achiement chest), some Master Salvage kit in stack of 250. Still you can’t stack up two Mystic Salvage kit of low numbers.

The best advice is to find a good active guild with a voice chat. This is MMORPG not a single player RPG. If you play it like a single player RPG its gonna be a bad one (wait better option for that on the market). But MMORPG is about playing with other people. Everything is way better with some friends (even if it only gaming friend). WvW is better, sPvP is better, PvE is better. You can go for a Legendary and again in guild this is way better. You can max out your crafting profession and go for ascended weapons, ascended armor is coming soon, that a lot of stuff to complete.

I was talking about that to my guildmates. I always wanted to get into the minis, but since i needed a invisible bag they just stayed in my bank. When i finally crafted a invisible bag, the mini disappear after zoning and death. kitten Anet really don’t want us to give them money. I had the same idea about an account wide tab in your hero panel where you can select any of your mini so that mini is just always with your character until you deselect it in your panel.

In your link you miss two trait that you didn’t choose. Since you use signet for heal you should take Signet Mastery and Inscribed Removal. You should also look for other skill than signet in your utilities. Because right you probably only use them for their passive effect, which aint that great. Overall your build like most of then are good for solo (its not that hard). But in dungeon and other content you may need to switch your utilities depending on the situation, meaning that you can rely on the Signet of Judgment because you may not have it equip all the time. Personnally, i don’t know if a symbol build is good. Never tried it, never wanted too. Maybe its good, maybe not i can’t really give any fact on that.

Well the trait system is way better in my opinion that the Skill Trees of SWTOR or the WoW system (at least back in the days of Vanilla and the first expansion, after that i stopped to play so i don’t know the current system). But your right, so much place for improvement. The stats point should not be link to which trait line you want to invest on. This advantage some build over others with for no reason at all. But up until now the trait system was not so bad for me (at least for the build that i choose to play). But when i started to play my Necromancer the system kitten ed me off enough so that i didn’t play my necro for several month. I always wanted to play necro but no build interested me. It was not because of the Necro itself it was just me and what i prefer to play. The only build that i wanted to play with was Life Siphon/Wells with Dagger in main hand. The problem is the Siphon, Wells and Dagger’s trait are ALL in the same trait line. Meaning that off all the trait that i wanted to get, i could only have 3 of them, while i would have to pick 4 trait that for me were way less attractive.

If anet give us really Three new fractals, and add ascended armor that will be a good update. If they get us back our level 80 fractal that would be AMAZING.

No build are really bad in GW2. You can still go through most of the content with that and in the end if you like to play with this build then why not. That said, its not a good build at all. Mainly because you have neither synergy nor clear objective in your build. You seem to simply pick what trait you liked and made a build out of that. Which is fine, but don’t make that a good build. For exemple, you have Justice is blind, Renewed Justice, Inspired Virtues, but chose Inner Fury over Blind exposure (a trait that would bring huge synergy with the rest if you spam F1). You put 25 pts in Valor to get two really bad trait and you don’t put 30pts to get Altruist Healer? Why choosing to make your symbol more larger? You don’t use any other point to boost your symbol other than that. You go a little bit in every direction. This don’t make you build versatile, just weak in every aspect. You need to figure out what you want to achieve with your build. Do you want to DPS, be an Anchor, be able to take beating, support your group with powerful shout, powerful consecration? So many possibilities, you need to find what you prefer and focus your build to help you with that.

Precusors : You either play the Mystic Toilet or you Buy it my accumulating enough gold. For the precusor crafting it was suppose to be in the second half of 2013, but Anet announced that i was now in 2014 (not giving any quarter or specific month).

Ectos : Do dungeons of level 70+ (CoF, CoE and HotW). You can also do Arah, but personnally i prefer to keep those Tokens for skins. Otherwise keep doing a bit of World Events, champ train at Frostgorge Sound and Fractal (higher level). This way you gonna get your ectos while having fun and not doing the same thing over and over.

T6 materials : If you don’t use your laurel anymore you can use them on Heavy Crafting Bag that give you 3 Tier 6 for 1 laurels (only Fine T6 so its really good). Also check on a regular basis their prices on the TP. Sometime, their cost drop drastically during a short period of time. If you don’t want to check that often but have a couple of gold that you don’t use (exemple if you are saving for your precusor but aint quite there yet). You can put a order on some T6 at a low price. This way you could get them in a couple of week at this price if you guested right. Use gw2spidy to see what range of price in which T6 fluctuated so you can guest at which price you could hope to get your order fill eventually. For exemple two days ago my guildmates got its order of Elaborate Totems (100 or them) at the price of 14.5 silver each while now they are more at 17-18 silver each and they continue to go higher. At the end, when you get everything else, buy all the T6 you still need.

I have a better idea. Get us back our Fractal before they limit it to level 49. It the only truly hard PvE content and now if i want to help my guildmates to go in high level fractal we either stop at 49 or I need to bring them in odd number which give no daily reward. Other than that and some new fractals once in a while, let the fractal like it is.

Behellagh.1468:

Yes but from the Original Post it sounded like a new player who felt like they needed to farm for gold. Crafting a legendary or ascended weapon is a long term goal and Tier 3 cultural is pretty and all but it’s not something you need right away. Same is true with items at the Gem Shop, they’re entirely optional and ANet would prefer that you spend cash, which is also a quick way to get gold now (about 4g per $1 at the exchange now).

To me an RPG, single player or MMO, is all about the character’s journey and not a series of Skinner boxes of activity X leads to reward Y. It’s about immersing yourself in the story and not running down a check list or rewards received. Even if this character is your 10th alt, it’s this character’s journey.

This is why I have a tough time grasping why the rush for levels and rewards. It’s not like we are paying monthly.

Unlocking skills is optional, putting gear on is optional, killing stuff is optional, speaking to other people is optional, playing the game is optional. So i don’t see your point. Getting my cultural tier 3 for my first character was one of the first thing i did because i wanted that my Character look nice so i was in the very same situation when i just finished to level it up, had small amount of gold with me and was looking to get more or it. About the skinner box, his question was exactly that. Can i get gold, while not getting in a skinner box? Farming gold without having fun to get the item that i want and hoping this item get me the happiness i didn’t had when i was farming to get gold to get that item. Wow sound like most people live if you replace farming with working (joke, not really).

Your video really need some basic editing. 15min to show something that should had take you 2 to 5 minutes max. For exemple, show the map for path and concentration of tree on a level 80 character (so he have the complete map), after you start the run with you low level and speed through it so it take about 1-2min to show an 1 hour run. Then you get back in normal speed to show what you got and what profit you have.

I have weaponsmith, Huntsman and Artificer all at 500. This is how i did it. I crafted Vision of the Mist for my Mesmer before beginning so i have enough Orichalcum Ingot to craft so the three profession was already at 425 before i start. Anyway the principle stay the same. Refine Orichalcum and Ancient wood until you get to level 425 is a good way and really cheep since you gonna use them to level up your crafting after.

In theory you need to craft 24 exotic weapons (discovery 24 different recipe, don’t craft 24 of the same recipe). In practice with my crafting booster 21-22 Exotic was enough. With Artificer my first to reach 500, i refined my empyreal, bloodstone dust and dragonite ore. You need to refine those anyway so do it while it give you XP, but 1 problem. It work for the first profession and you can save 1 or 2 exotic, but after that you will have enough refined ascended material for all the weapons you want (except for the Dragonite) so do you really want to craft (and pay) for refined material that you could never use or use in about a year.

I did my own little guide to find what combination of weapons/inscription where the less costly and i take really a short time to do that by your own. In the end, if you by everythings it will cost you about 120-150 gold. But for me it cost me about 100 gold to get all three to 500, mainly because i had to buy all the ectos since i used all mine on my Vision of the Mist and 77 Clovers for my second legendary. The rest is pretty easy to get. About 15 of each fine crafting material and between 600 and 1500 ori ore/ancient log for each crafting profession. This is costly if you but it all, but myself i got 7 character and i can get 50 ori and wood in about 15-20min each day so it wasn’t a problem.

Behellagh.1468:

No because in the real world you need money for food and shelter. Someone who feels the need to earn lots of gold quickly in an MMO must have some motivation but there really isn’t a lot of things in game that need loads of gold. I’m simply inquiring why they need it because I don’t understand what players are using it for.

It’s like why do players want to level their characters to 80 ASAP? It’s not like there is loads of restricted level 80 content with this game.

Things i do with my gold. : Cultural Armor for looks, my legendary, crafting material to get to 400 and then to 500 (a lot of material just take a lot more to gather than getting gold and buying it on TP), transfer gold into gem to buy nice things on the Gem Store like the Cooper Fed Salvage machine, special armor skin, infinite gathering tools, minis, etc), buying material to crafting special weapons or buy them on the TP, and a lot more.

Why getting to level 80 ASAP? After my two first characters i didn’t want to take as much time on other character to get them to level 80. After you did the story for each race, vigil, priority and whisper order you don’t want to do the same freaking heart for the 4th time for about 1/10th of a level. Why having more character? To try a lot of combination and see if you love more a another character, to have different character you like for different things (got 1 main for PvE and 1 for WvW and 2 other that i play frequently), and finally you can get a lot of orichalcum and ancient wood for about 15min per day with a lot of character.

You can but you need to get all the professions to 400, which mean a lot of gold. And you will only be able to use 2 professions at the time except if you pay to return to older crafting professions. Its not a great idea to do that.

You should use all the material you harvest and not selling them. This probably won’t gonna get that far in your crafting by the time you get to level 80, but that normal. If you sell your stuff now, you will buy them latter to complete your crafting and you will lose gold by doing so. Also crafting is a good way to level up your character.

If you are a Heavy Armor using weaponsmith weapons, then you are propably don’t have enough. But if you only think about doing medium or light armor you maybe went a little bit too far since at most a ascended weapons will cost you 9 Deldrimor Steel Ingots. Meaning that you have enough of them to craft 5 ascended weapons.

I was in the same situation before. I had a big pile of Elder Wood and Mithril in my bank. And eventually just sold some of them. Now i regret that because I have nothing left. Finally, i had only enough of them to craft 2 ascended weapons and now i have to wait for more mithril and wood for my last ascended weapons for my main and more mithril in prevision for ascended armor. Just hoping that i have enough silk and leather tier 5 for my armor.

In our guild we created some special rank.

Non-Representor are people that usually don’t represent the guild, but that we still want to keep in the guild. Real life friends or in-game friend that have a guild of their own or are on another server. This way we don’t kick or ask them to represent when someone see them.

Inactive : Are guildmates that didn’t came online for a long time, but that we don’t want to kick, because they are friends or use to be a big part of our guild (ex guild master or officer usually).

When people didn’t earn any achievement point in a long time, we either kick them or place them as Inactive if we know them.

I’m from Crystal Desert. It a great server for PvE. Constant zerg train at Queensdale and Frostgorge Sound. In WvW we are in Silver league with average results.

Jade Quarry and Tarnished Coast are also two good server for PvE.

All you can do with the crafting (except ascended) you can also buy it on the trading post. But it gonna cost you more on the TP than if you craft it yourself. Still getting to 400 mean a huge initial investment (crafting material, gold and time). So is it worth it?

Depend on you. If you are a casual player with 1 or 2 character, that you still play with rare gear (because you can totally do that and still enjoy the game), don’t even want to hear about legendary and don’t need that much gold because you don’t buy much stuff. Then you don’t need to max crafting.

On the other hand. I use crafting to partially level up 5 of my alts so why not maxing all profession. I use some level 400 to craft corrupted and destroyer weapons, i crafted my legendary, some stuff cost less if you craft it and don’t buy it on the TP, and finally i want my ascended weapons and in the future my ascended armor. So for me it was a good thing to max my crafting profession.

pMay.5372:

What about The boxes I can loot Form Champions? Effected or not?

MF affect if you gonna have a white, blue, green, rare (not sure if rare box exist??), or exotic box. But after that each box gonna have its own loot table and won’t be affected by your MF. Its the same thing with all bags and box that you can pick up. Of course, if you are farming FGS you already have a really low risk of having a box other than exotic, but it can happen. Got some green champion bags myself.

Sarah which fractal level are you. I ask because i’m the last one of my former Guildmates Fractal team that is still playing. I’m helping two other friends to reach level 49 as well, but only 5 of us are experienced enough to go into level 36 (the level we are doing these days). Since we don’t really want to search for pugs at these level, and all my old buddies back in the days when we were doing level 49 don’t play anymore, it would be nice to have someone else able to take the 5th spot in higher level when we don’t have enough people.

Yes. If you infuse a ring or back item. The item you get back will be account bound and no longer soulbound.

The best way to get Rabid Armor is by doing dungeons : CM, TA, HotW and Arah all give you token that you can exchange for Rabid Armor and Weapons.

1) Sunrise
2) I have the gift of metal, my clovers and my precusor
3) Need 100 glob to get my gift of fortune, 80 badge of honor for my gift of mastery and 70 charged lodestone for my Gift of Light.

When you start the fractal you should be able to see the maximum level of each player. Not the level of the character but of the player. I would be kitten if someone kick me because my engineer is only level 12 while I’m doing level 20, since my guardian is level 67.

The cap is really not a problem in PvP (WvW and SPvP), but its true that this should be remove from PvE. Or at least everybody should have their own limitation. But Vulnerability should stay cap at 25 for the whole group, since you can’t obviously decrease the armor of your enemies by 125%.

I understand that dungeon are more oriented for team play, but I run dungeon with several of my character and my guild mate do the same. We can coordinate our build since we use different characters and we don’t play always with the same 5 people. Sometime someone is not online but another member is there to fill the place.

The rule is, you can’t wear two rings with the same unique name. For example you can wear two berserker rings if one have a defensive infusion slot and the second have a offensive slot.
