After some research , I found that Salamander Drake and Lashhtail Devourer got the strongest skills in gw 2.
The Drake has a bad skill which is chomp that heals his enemies , but it also has great advantage which is AOE attacks. His Fire Breath misses often because of its casting.
The Devourer hits only one enemy and it’s rare to miss.
F2 skill damage according to wiki :
Fire Breath damage is > 5*(305) + (1640 ) = 3165
Rending Barbs damage is > 7*(343) + 7*(213) = 3892
First , are my calculations right ?
Second , I know that the breath hits in front of the caster while the barbs just hits one enemy, but the barbs has higher hitting chance. What are your opinions about both of them ?

I remember you from the necromancer forum, you were always defending the MM builds.
Now about your question, like others said it depends of your style.
Are you going to use your grenade to combo people like a 100 build? If yes kit refinement can be useful.
Otherwise, take speedy kit over kit refinement. With out the combo, the grenade refinement isn’t really useful. And the bomb kit refinement is rather weaks.
If you go for speedy kit, don’t take power shoes, as you will prolly have perma swiftness in combat so the 25% rune speed is useless as it doesn’t stack.
Good luck!
Yeah MM is the best in my opinion
About the movement speed, who said that swiftness and power shoes don’t stack together?

Hi guys , this is my build http://tinyurl.com/ap5uwkp , I have berserker armor .
I’m confused between speedy kit vs kit refinement as my other traits are very important and I can’t remove and of them.
Speedy kit is wonderful as it gives me perma swiftness specially with Stimulant which is good for escaping and even in combat.
Kit refinement gives me additional skills , which is more important in your opinion ?

I saw some players that using speed hack. It’s hard to report them as they move very fast.
Screenshot is useless as they will not be seen as hackers. I can’t get their name because of their speed. Will recording video help ? and what is the best ways to report them correctly ?

Thanks again for explaning.
There are 3 good sigils to pick , earth ( for bleed stacking ) , rage ( quickness ) and restoration ( healing > will get much speacily with big AOE damage ) . any advice ?

Energy. More dodge is NEVER a bad thing.
Battle/Strength. Might is always helpful since it also adds condition damage. But do you see yourself swapping weapons a lot? If so, Battle. If not, Strength.
Earth is another option. More bleed never hurts, and it’s a lot cheaper option too.
As for runes, I personally run Runes of the Thief. Cond/Prec, and that extra flanking damage.
There’s also a rune of the Undead which converts Toughness into Cond Dmg, which is nice. You use Rabid gear, so this is even more cond dmg on top.
http://tinyurl.com/ahry9et
But isn’t sigil of smoldering better than earth ( 10% burn will be good as most of my powerful conditions are burning ) ?
About the runes , I will get the undead ones as I don’t have conditon damage and toughness ( at my trait stats ).

I have changed my build a little >> http://tinyurl.com/a7r93kv
Check my sigils and rapid accessories , what runes will suits my build ?
I know it’s better for them to focus on condition damage , but what about their minor stats ?

The build you linked shows your heavy into traps (with trap targeting) so to me the obvious choice would be additional condition damage to make use of all the points spent on your traps.
I also noticed your using ‘Rampage as One’, while a good offensive trait I was surprised that you did not pick ‘Entangle’ as it is by far our best trap.
Thanks mate for you note , I have changed my build ( got Entangle ).
What weapon do you advise me to get ( that suits my build ) besides my sword/torch ?
Is it LB ( has much AOE damage from barage , DPS from rapid shot and vurnerability from hunter’s shot >> I just use them then switch to sword/torch as they are my main weapons ) or SB ( got small and quick condition damage )?
All 80es > MM necro is my best ,cleric

When choosing between power and condition, ask yourself this question:
Do you use traps?
If so, go condi damage. Focusing on condi damage will allow you to use traps, which do pretty nice AoE damage. And since you only need condition damage (instead of power/prec/crit dmg) you can also focus on more survavability stats. The downside, of course, is lack of flexibility in choosing utility skills.
If you don’t go traps, go Power. 100 Power will give you a lot more damage than 100 cond dmg will no matter what. Remember though, you’ll also have to invest in precision/crit dmg if you want to be effective. Of course, you free up utility slots that you aren’t using on traps.
Hope this answers your question.
If I use the 2 traps ( burn and poison ) , torch skills , LB barrage , LB rapid fire and sword attacks , I will need both of power and condition.
Do you advise me to be hybrid ?

Hi , I got this build http://tinyurl.com/ahry9et ( check skills , pets and traits. )
I don’t want to change neither the traits nor the skills ( weapons and utilities ).
I’m asking about the best stats that would suit my build.

Grenade kit has the most long-term damage compared to any other kit. This doesn’t mean you can’t run other kits – they slaughtered the grenade auto, but now it hits almost as hard as it did back in october through careful sigil usage.
I don’t think so !!
The strongest kit is bomb not grenade ( even when traited )
I got both + mine. http://tinyurl.com/ap5uwkp
I use grenade till I reach the melee range then switch to bomb.
Against melee zergs ( even 10000 foes ) , bomb is the best kit specially with speedy kits and power shoes traits .

My advice is to mix both knight and Berserker . You will still have power , precision and some toughness for your survivability. The most effected build from these will be demolisher >> http://tinyurl.com/ap5uwkp

As Manticore Five said , I advice you to try bomb kit too as it’s the strongest kit till you get the Grenadier trait ( will make bomb equal to grenade ). I use both + mine.

Not all dungeon sets have the beserker stats you are looking for, therefore you will need to collect tokens from those which do have those stats. Best suggestions I can give you is to go look at the various dungeon vendors and make a list of those that offer the stats you want. If you are just transmuting the skins anyway, it would be quicker having more choices of dungeons to do for tokens than limiting yourself to one specific dungeon.
I did as you said ( making a list )
I want to mix between Berserker and knight.
Berserker dungeons >> Arah , Citadel of Flame , Crucible of Eternity.
Knight dungeons >>Arah , Sorrow’s Embrace.
So the easiest for Berserker is CoF and the easiest for Knight is SE , right ?

I’m level 80 necro , I don’t like any dungeon skins so I will get any dungeon set and transform other skins to it. ( I want an armor with Berserker stats )
What is the easiest dungeon to get token from ?

First , we know that teleporting to the major cities ( which are 6 ) is free, but what about the others ?
At level 80 it will cost much . If you say that it encourages teamwork and explorations , I will say that it’s not.
For some players ( rich ) the fee is cheap so they are teleporting all the time , while the poor players ( or have plans to get expensive items ) will be forced to walk for too long just to reach somewhere. Why can’t you prevent the fees from scaling with levels so they will remain 10-12 coppers ( 1 silver at max ) ?
As for messaging , why do you suppress my messages just because I’m telling people about chain events or important things ?? Is not better if you give us the ability to block any spammer from our entire chat ?

Sorry you are right about the runs , but you will need 1380 tokens not 1200.
So 1380/80 = I will need 17 days ( in case I’m running it twice a day ).
And how can I get 180 per run ?? ( as each first run gives me just 60 according to wiki )
Do you mean that in each path I will get 60 or in each dungeon ?
I know indeed that it’s 1380. I was making the math for 1200, not for 1380, like the example provided.
Each path done for the 1st time gives you 60 tokens. Second path run after that gives you 20, and 10 afterwards i believe.
So:
Path 1, run 1 = 60
Path 2, run 1 = 60
Path 3, run 1 = 60
Path 1, run 2 = 20
Path 1, run 3 = 10
and so on!
Thanks alot !

guard ,nades eng ,Trap thief \ranger ,signet\shout warrior, zerk mes\ele & shiro rev.
The first completion of any given path each day will give 60 tokens; subsequent runs will give 20, 15, and 10, respectively. Completing the path again with a different character at least two hours after the last completion of the path will grant the full reward again. Completing one path does not affect the reward from other paths; as such, it is possible to acquire 180 tokens per day per character, from each dungeon without any penalty. >> Wiki.
Thanks bro
1380/180 = 7 days
