Guild Wars 2

I have 2 theory :
1) By killing Zhaitan, we killed the body but his mind and magic were transfered somewhere so he could recover for another round some millenia later.

2) The Dragons work like the Highlanders if you kill one, his power is shared to the others making them more powerful, that would explain why they just don’t care about each other. That could make sure that they won’t band together if have to take them out one by one, each of them getting stronger than the previous one, making it more and more challenging.

Or he is dead dead and the canons were shooting anti-zhaitan magic stuff and sucked out all his magic by transforming it into fireworks.

lol… with 3 war zerk, a guard and a necro heal, most of the tactics are pointless, alpha is you standing and killing him in all three path (all 3 together can be done under 50 min, our guild record is 43min for CoE p1-2-3 in a row, timed with a 1h potion taken before the first pack, though i’m sure you can do way better time somehow… that’s a little slower than chain CoF p1 but it’s 180 tokken and charged core/lode drop.) The same for TA p1 2 3, just that in p3 2 war for spiders and going back to tree when no more spider.

Well, they look normal but 10000000 times harder to kill because of …… magic !
If he found a kitteng amazing spell that makes his skin 437 times harder than diamond ?
Zaithan makes abomination using more or less magic depending on his mission.
Think of it like that : the higher the zone lvl is, the higher is the amount of magic infused in the soil making things tougher, and some rare mob found a condensed magic source and ate/used it.

So, now on, if something illogical happens in gw2 just say to yourself : Ow, well, it’s because it’s magic.

Craft, it cost less than 50g, 30k karma and 8h if you sell everything for all 8 jobs.
Which is less than a week of dungeon farming for your 80.

nb : honestly, i just said 30k karma because i’m too lazy to count so it might be way more or way less.

tl;dr

We just did it with 3 war and 2 necro, you go behind the big guy and then 2 necro overheal the spider damage and cure poison while the 2 war kills spider and occasionally chop the tree and one war stays on the tree, it was not that slow.
We are doing it every day now to increase speed as we did to arah p4 BS simin dps check. Because if it’s long and not rewarding, we farm it with only necro and war until it’s fast, then we go sPvP.

You don’t have to do dailies or grind a lengendary to have the BIS, and they made ascended gear quite easy to get for casual, no need for grinding, just wander through its beautiful landscape and look at the cute little crabs on the beach, and you can get all 6 ascended items. No, you just have to play and, well sometimes you only need 1 more thing to end your daily, just do it, let’s say you do one daily a week, you still will get your ascended gear, nice and slow. Grind if you want to rush things like a 10yo, or just have fun with your friends and do some RPevent with the major RP guild or just watch them. You still will get your ascended, and even your legendary, with no grind of any kind.

Tl;dr
Find yourself a server that has mainly people with 10+h time difference with low population and have fun failing at Jormag by your own.
They said it’s for both type of player, those who grind and those who don’t. You don’t have to grind to enjoy the first 9 lvl of fractal, it’s like the lvl 80 but easier. And you can get the Best In Slot quite easily compared to any other MMO, tell me one MMO where you can get the BIS in barely a month where you play around 10h a week NOT farming, just walking by event, doing a different dungeon once a day, tanning on the LA’s beach while looking at a RP event.

Well I agree with the first one but why the others ? I don’t know any item that is hard to get and out power all the others, you might be thinking of the ascended back piece ? It’s actually quite easy to get one since the price of the ecto dropped that much, if you spared since the beginning you should be around 20-30gold when you hit 80 and have quite enought of karma to buy 3 trinket. 20-30 gold was enought to have : full exotic armor, 2 sets of land exotic weapon and 2 aquatic exotic weapon and 3 trinket. The ascended gear is now quite trivial to get trough daily/monthly/achievement laurels. While playing for fun and discovering all the dungeon and getting slowly but EASILY, you should have enought to buy the back piece component. You don’t need to infuse it, it won’t make you more powerful, just for those who wants to go in HL fractal, and by doing fractal one by one you will get way more than enough tokken to infuse it. (by infuse i mean the base +5 without infusion).
I think the VI for casual is the living story, because it’s quite trivial and yet challenging enough for casual (2h-7h a week casual).
And gw2 is different, I raised my second character to lvl 80 and full exoticed him (back when there was no fractal) in barely 3 days for the cheap price of 60g. Wich is worth a week of sloth-mode farming. (barely 3h a day)

I don’t know much about mesmer and engi, but i’m quite a necro lover, necro played as tank/heal is my main playstyle, in pve you can over heal a lot of dungeon bosses making “hard” fight quite trivial (ie : crucible p3 is just you healing your mate standing still hitting alpha, or TA p2 is just you cycling blind and heal until it dies), most of the time you are a better choice than a guardian or elem tank/heal. And you are the god of jumping puzzle, spectral sprint is a life and time savior with it’s teleport back that work even through a gap or while falling whereas most of the others, you have passive and active speed buff, F1 cancels fall damage (if you use F1, you take 0 fall damage no matter how high you fall from, it only consume the life force which recharge if your buddies dies from falling around you.)
In WvW your fear and your toughness makes you very hard to be killed and the F1 is just exquisite, but arguably mesmer and engi might be better. And you can use F1 or spectral sprint to trick groups of bad guys to suicide while you laugh upon their falls.
In sPvP, you are an excellent holder, even better than most guardian/war. I know that engi as holder works quite well, but only saw it once so it’s hard for me to compare.

nb : by “hard” I meant when you do it in pick up with not very experienced player.

I frequently do 40+ fractal, so i need to keep the AR. Since the skill balancing update, I noticed that my full berserk warrior new build (30 20 0 0 20) did less critical hit than before, so I was considering taking those extra 30 precision.
But my main question is, will they add new tier of infusion such as masterwork, rare, exotic maybe even ascended tier ?
And secondly, will the cost of making the fine infusion be cheaper as they said soon enough to worth the wait ?

I was wandering on gw2db and found +7 stat +7AR green tier infusion, so I was wondering if they would add new tier of infusion in the future and should i wait before throwing my money to craft those +5 stat +5AR blue tier infusion, which are insanely expensive for only +30 stat, while the AR only infusion, which I currently use, is almost free (75 fractal’s tokken).

Why don’t you try to appreciate the game ? and by support necro i mean i would take a hell of a time i do with some might 500 crit tops. If the guy have regen, then we are stuck on a perpetual fight. You want thrilling sensation? get yourself into PvP, I agre that for now the pvp is quite poor, but fighting humains is very thrilling specialy when you meet a team that match yours. I see in the futur much more PvP content such as GvG, 5v5 no spawn point, matched tournament because for now you can get a group of full 80 or 1 . You can try your luck to make the legendary pvp armor, THAT can’t be bought. Get yourself in a good WvW server in a WvW dedicated guild and try to get your ennemies down in sitution that you put your self in, challenge your friend to take BP with only 10 men under an hour when it’s still full of people.

Do things not by yourself. I did over 100 times Arah, still I find it fun because we try things new, like, hey let’s do Arah 1234 all necro under 4 h or trash 100g in buying guild point. Let’s do it without any trait point nor skill, only weapon skill. Or we did it once with only the mouse.

It’s a MMO, soloing is stupid and boring. Don’t stop at what you can earn, do what is fun for you, it’s a game, you don’t like farm, then don’t. Is the legendary mandatory to have fun with friends ? no, you get money while having fun. It takes time but you won’t care, you are having fun. You will get your legendary even before you notice in a year or two.

Unless you don’t have friend, then make some, friends who are way behind you? help them, friends who are far ahead, ask for help it won’t kill you. Friends with no initiative? be the one who starts things. Friends who are too busy farming ? Have pity on them and make new ones.

Ok, i see 3 ways of thinking when you say buy the end game :

• Any morron with enought gold got in any way can get a legendary. Well, even if the legendary wasn’t sellable you could buy it but the gift of exploration which can be done under a week for half casual(4h a day). And if you complain about the fact that you can buy the precursor, it’s like complaining why work when you can play lottery. You want it as a reward of a very hard solo quest ? how about my support necro ? I make most dungeons way easier, play as a team even if they are just pick up, I try to dispell, buff and heal allies, tank, debuff and put max stack of vulnerability to the boss. But if you ask me to solo anything, just no, i like to play with other people, that’s what MMO are for. Elite mission ? why not, rewarding precursor ? absolutly not. I could just pay a group to rush me, no honor, diminishing even more the value of it.

• Only gold farming/flipping/gold buying can make you a lengendary. Well, I don’t farm but i get a nice 10g a day by playing the game, some dungeon for fun like arah, Cof Coe Ta, not all path just some i like, arah 1 cof 2&3 coe all ta 1 (not all in one day, I play only around 4h or less a day). I do some fractal either to help or to try my luck on a fractal weapon once or twice every now and then, a bit of WvW for fun, PvP to get some glory to move to rank 80 nice and slow. I can buy it in a year, so what ? I play to play. You don’t need to farm or else, just play and you will have some money no matter how few it’s a step closer.

• Legendary weapons are the unique end game content. I am actually trying to get to fractal 80, getting rank 80 in PvP and having all the acheivement which make me do 15 rerolls to do most of all the story quest line, train my PvP skill in all classes, do WvW, play a lot of fun content that i woulnd’t have found out otherwise, still nice and slow, at my pace. It can take me years, so be it. I also need legendaries to get the achievement, and i’m quite happy that you can buy it without using luck. End game is not really defined, may be after that i would want to get every single skin of every thing, know all the dynamic event, get to fight and kill a mini bus of at least 20 people with less than 3 allies at least once with all my character… This is my end game, define your own.

You complains about gold based items because you see them as items that you want asap, Anet see them as item you get when you can, by playing without any farm like I do. Some days i just take one of my character and wonder around just to take time to see the beauty of the world. No rush.

there is the MF from WvW which becomes 0 when you are not playing in your home server.

one of the patch note said that transmuting keeps the highest rarity now, if i were you i would test with green/blue first.

I’ve found the upgraded version on gw2db so i’m quite confident about it existence, maybe it’s in the next update… I only get my amulet tomorrow :/

If you check in gw2db you can see (infused) version of all ascended amulet but triforge… 4 More days and we will know for sure.
