Guild Wars 2

Lazze.9870:

It’s been six months since we got to know that rangers will be druids, and people still haven’t looked up what druids are/were in the guild wars universe?

It’s not shapeshiftning. Seriously.

all the wiki says is that they were servants of melandru, went to live in the maguma jungle and they became spirits similar to the oakhearts

back to topic, i asume it has either something to do with shapeshifting as people says (though they have been wrong before; tempest/sword) or pet related since the trait icon shows an animal https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Ranger

i been using axe/torch- axe/ in pvp, starting with sun spirit, flame trap then weapon swap to abuse quick drawn with Bonfire, then just rotate flame trap, throw torch,splitblade as they come out of CD, always switching weapon before using bonfire to abuse the CD reduction. the highest i was able to stack (with extremely nice procs from sun spirit) been 20 burn stacks and 14 bleeds. that was plain insane, if you can trap someone with entangle or spider root venom before hand so they eat the full rotation you will have fun watching their hp bar literaly melt away

dude chill out, anet allready proved that they listen to their players opinions; they complained about revenants in their beta weekend and what happened? they got a major overhaul.

just gotta wait till tempest (and same goes to the other specs) are playable in a beta test, people will test them first hand and hand over their opinions at anet, then we will see some changes

correct me if im mistaken, but in the tempest PoI reveal video the character they used appear to be using this set, so maybe it will be available on HoT

my little female charr, first pic is her normal attire when doing pve/pvp stuff, and the second one is her pact commander outfit (for living story related content)

not that the news of the tempest are awesome, but us medium armor users are still crossing our fingers to see some of the specs coming to medium armor characters xD, for heavy armorers we allready got dragonhunters and practically allready know whats coming for revenants specialization. all light armor specs have been revealed allready (reaper,chronomancer,tempest). But for medium armor we still havent had a single reveal, all we know is that ranger´s is called druid and will use staff, and engis will have hammer

So jelly wow. Maybe bc you can do basilisk from stealth on an autopilot called stealth? Yes that f1 key. You can see when revenant is casting jade, but you cant see thief at all. Not to mention that you have to build up energy for it.

If you’re going to comment on thief gameplay, at least know enough about the class to know that Thief F is not Stealth.

i think he meant steal, casting basilisk venom then stealthing then using steal traited (mug) to trigger a totally unpredictablet basi

probably will be using hammer-s/s to have melee and range, i enjoy the gameplay on my power ranger (GS/LB) of being able to change from melee to range and feeling as powerfull with either wep.

might have to see glint signets and see how good are they, but ill most probably wont be using shield (cause they hide my white feathered wings backpack xD )

maybe they will allow to have 3 legends at the time instead of just 2, that seems like a nice core change, or being able to select/mix the utilities of the 2 legends you have active so you dont have to swap too often

well, anet just proved with the revenant changes that they do listen to feedbacks, guess we will just have to wait till next beta for testings and let them know the result

i noticed that as long as there is a green pointer on the UI (PS or LV) the pointer that helps with map completion wont appear. I finished personal story beliveing that i would be able to finally complete maps using the pointer since you can activate and deactivate LS chapters, but now the LS has replaced the green cursor and the moment i deactivate the living story chapter it reactivates inmediatly

is there a way to turn it off so the map completion pointer reapears? or im bound to finish LS2 first?

2spooky4me…

but srsly that’s actually pretty cool. Does it only show in the personal story mode?

no, it shows anywhere, and once its gone the only way for it to reappear is teleporting or reloging, moving away from the spot where it vanish doesnt make it reappear

doing my personal story missions i noticed this ghostly looking ship that didnt looked to be a bone ship but when i tried to get closer to take a look then it just poped from view, like that “pop” no ship.

anyone knows what it is? seems interesting. its located on the sea directly south of gavbeorn waypoint, right above Harrowed Sea

while i do recognize reven needs some tweaks, im in favor of no weapon swap as long as they can have 2 utilities set in battle wich dont share CD and free of CD on demand elites. would be too op

how my reve will look once i can chose his race as a charr

how im planing my reve to look hope they release glint and sword/sword soon to test the real dps spec

not too impresed with the reve skills atm, never been too fan of support and condition builds though, hope they release the zerker oriented spec weps (apparently sword/sword) and zerker oriented legend soon (one allready implied to be glint, and also shield weapons)

rewarding the class mechanic, is interesting though, the lack of weapon swap and only 2 F skills makes is noob friendly, way more than ele/engi (those 4-5F buttons) and the always on demand skills thanks to energy promise a tactical gameplay and able to easily adapt to any change in battle

while i agree that they should say that they will swap. i understand why they do it. since the game released dungeons where one of the prefered ways to fast lv, but now even the lowest dungeon (lv 35) as been turned into an unofficial lv 80 only dung by the community so i understand them doing this because is very hard to get their lowbie in anyway

i do not agree though with the “they arent helping and get all the benefits” comment since they “do” helped all the dungeon progress with their lv 80s, they are just swapping for the very last boss so their contribution to the party was 90%

now if they swap “during” the last boss i do totally agree with you, but if they swap “before it” and actually participate in the fight is another story, they are helping with it, and unless they are using extremely low quality gear for the dungeon lv (lv 10 or so gear on AC) they dmg difference vs a zerker geared 80 isnt that abysmal because of the scaling down.

long post short

1: they have the right to do it because nowadays is the only way to get the low lv dungeon exp for what it was made for; leveling. though i do agree that they should let know they are planing to do it

2: swap “before” the final boss and not “during” so they actually help in the fight and be atleast equally or higher geared than the dungeon lv

i wanted to show my brother a good view of the renewed lions arch since he doesnt play the game but remembers it when it was destroyed and how it looked before, what would you guys say is the best current lions arch vista point that shows the best overview of the rebuilt city?

soo from what i see, with all the crit related traits (fury, crit on OS) presicion doesnt worth gearing anymore in power builds?

For burst, you may as well use tanky stats and load up on ferocity (so Cavalier/Valk/Crusader stats) but for sustained damage, you need precision imo.

what would be for pve mostly? because im 70% pve, 30% wvw

soo from what i see, with all the crit related traits (fury, crit on OS) presicion doesnt worth gearing anymore in power builds?

hmm wow i gotta go check that O_o i been doing dungs all evening to lv my ranger and honestly i didnt noticed them any easier than before

what i wanna know is if these new wings will last for “more than 24hs”? i been waiting months for the return of the wings, and i really want to buy them but want to know if ill have enough time to farm for the gems since i dont wanna spend $ (saving for HoT)

ranger doesnt need any more nerf to their range weapons… they are supposed to be a “range” class and these kind of post is what had pushed LB into a pvp mostly wep and having them kicked from pve groups if they stay on it more than to cast the initial RP/barrage

you using a serk build, on the medium armored class with the less base hp pool agaisnt the highest (and only) spike of another class also geared on berserker gear (never seen a non serker ranger using LB) its obvius a full cast of rf is gonna take you that much if you cant learn how to counter it.

what does exactly ranger needs that can be buffed in exchange of a nerf without making its survavility op? they have dodges in altmost every weapon, tank pets, dmg inmunity utilities, massive movement/scape options (s 2# GS 3# traps, speed signet)

in exchange they only have 1 single spike skill on their whole weapon list, that can be countered even turned agaisnt the ranger and you want it nerfed?

in that case they should nerf stealth and backstab on thiefs and improve their survavility?, i find myself killed by perma stealth thieves with backstab more often than any other class (and if you come to me saying that can be countered then RP as proved allready can too so we´re done here)

i just wondering if there are any way to get them these days, or if anet revealed info about when (if ever) are they planing to re release them. cant belive such an awesome item was out fir just 24h

according to a reply i got in a previous post i did, shatter builds in pve dont seem to be very viable because they lack good sustained dps in comparisong to keeping phantasm up.

i tried going to phantasm, and tbh, or else im doing something wrong or the build gameplay is quite boring xD; summoning phantasm and just auto attacking, not being able to use more skills cause most summon the useless clones that could rewrite our phantasm. and the phantasm dissapearing when their target dies, making them quite anoying in battles with lot of enemies.

atleast with shatter you are active spaming them shatteers either for mind wrack or to apply confusion, and the shatter affects multyple enemies so its kinda an aoe build too

so just wondering if im doing something wrong and there is a more “fun” way to play phantasm mesmer, or if there is any notice about shatter mesmers getting somekind of buff in the future (appart from the new F5 shatter) to make them more viable dungeons/bossing content

i see, thats unfortunate :/ i hope they do something about it because today i was considering the posibility of doing a phantasm build, but after seeing my phantasm get destroyed in CoF it took me even further away from it…

thanks for the answer good to see that atleast is still worth for WvW.

what would be a good shatter build for general pve/dung/world bossing? i heard than phantasm are the way to go for it, but i like (and im too used to) the bursty feeling of shattering builds too much

wharever if is a new F skill (wich i doubt, most probably a new effect for each attunement ala dragonhunter)

a new weapon type is for sure coming though wich is minimal 12 new skills if a main hand, or 8 if a off hand only or a whooping 20 if a 2 handed

hello, i came back to the game after like a year absence. back then one of the popular mesmer builds was osicat shattercat build

when i left i had my esper with the build stats wich is http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fhAQNAsdWlknpVtlpxRNUrNSqxg6xCrNSmQAl8kuB-TxCGABDqiTSKJCUNAlUipwpAoIlCSpMAAlgFqaQBPBgU2fAA-e

this build was supposed to be multy purpose/might stacking build for both pve and pvp. i was wondering if is still viable 1 year after.

been getting to date with personal story with it currently and been killing stuff super fast. but havent tested yet with harder stuff like fractals or wvw/dungeon

my female charr warrior made in rp mood; she´s supposed to be a female charr that was tainted with dragon magic when she was a cub, causing her to grow wings (reason why she can´t wear full chest armor), fiery claws and glittering red eyes (or she will when i manage to get my hands on the glittering crimson mask )

now that i think so, this might get her in problem with dragon hunters according to the newly released information about them “Karl explained that dragonhunters are determined to wipe out the dragons’ threat entirely, including their minions and everything tainted by them”

9/10 i like the “elder paladin” like feeling he gives, and is a very nice set combination, he could very well be a general of some sort

my female charr, not for stylish but for roleplayish purposes xD, infected by the dragons magic before born, she grew up with dragon claws and wings on her back, wich made her unable to wear chest armor, but it doesnt stop her from serving the blood legion

orrian leggins, achivement gauntlets, pit chest piece, random boots xD

my female charr Kiara Razormane the idea for the armor seleccion was more for roleplaying purpose than stylish xD, as a cub she was touched by the dragons magic, wich made her grow up with wings (hence why she cant wear chest armor) and dragon claws

my female charr Kiara Razormane the idea for the armor seleccion was to be slighty roleplaysh xD, as a cub she was touched by the dragons magic, wich made her grow up with wings (hence why she cant wear chest armor) and dragon claws

hey osi sup, im leveling a mesmer after seeing all your vids, but i still feel kinda nobish with the class, from all your builds, wich one you would say that is the most “noob friendly” and ideal for all situation? (zerg fights, 1VS many, pve, group fight) ?

you probably were hit by either the phantasmal rogue, or a roamer build BS thief. i have that build on my thief and with food buff i crit even heavy armorers for 15k with backstab crits

hahaha yeah lol, every time i see my charr falling flat from a high distance i remember that Madagascar line: "Don`t worry cats always land on their- FACES? what kind of cat are you?

my charr thief, a combination of HotW, the silvary dung wich name i cant remember, flame citadel and cultural shoulders

Henge.3907:

Here’s my Charr warrior.
And my Ranger
And my Ele

is the third time i see ele/necro/mes charr toons without a visible chestpiece, is there actually a skin like that? a way to hide it without removeing it? or you just removed it for the SS?

hehe i know how u feel, i too like to give my charrs a uniquestyle. this is the one i made on my guardian by combining dungeon sets with cultural and lions store skins

hopefully it will be added in the future, alongside new fur colors. Korukhan the “blacksmith” that represents the order of whispers in the personal story has blue fur http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Korukhan_the_Blacksmith

my charr ele, a combination of the cultural armors and a different chest piece with flame legion shoulders

this is my try at a shaman look for my elementalist, it looks more “flame legion like” with the centaur camp karma vendor weapon skins

there you go http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff281/FlamedramonX/charrhuman_zps6bb0fc5c.jpg

on to next thread!

vizunah square is full :/ any other server unconquested?

hi there osi, i`m leveling a mesmer, and watching your guide noticed that even with the nerf they recived some time ago, your rune of air thunderstrike keeps doind over 5k damage.

this is something that impresed me because im using sigil of air on my roaming thief, and even though hes 100% berserker, the most i do with the thunderstrike is 1700-2k . how do you manage to get such a high number on your thunderstrike? or is the damage on sigil of air capped so only the rune does over 5k?

asking because until now, i though that only orr had high lv air elementals to drop charged lodestones.

but recently i found a place outside orr that continously spawns lv 72 air elementals and veteran air elementals, i was wondering if is posible to get lodestones from those

just like obsidian shards were added to fractal`s vendor for tokens, i think lodestones should also be added to fractal or dungeon vendors.

imo, they are the hardest item to obtain after a precursor for a legendary, and the best looking weapons like vulcanus or foefire escense ask for a incredible ammount of them. i been farming the last 5 days for 3 hours daily for charged lodestones, using a full magic find gear, with mf stacking in sigil, mf food and gem store mf boost and in those 5 days i have only got 1 single lodestone, and the requeriment for a gift is 100 minimal

there are 6 lodestones and 9 dungs, imo it would be good to add to the less played dungs like SE CoE and such lodestones on their dungeon vendors, that way we would not only have another way to get them, but also more people will start going again to those dungeons

Tengu seems to be the more likely next playable race, they have one of their city entrances inside a starter lv 1-15 zone and a trading post right on the entrance, just like the other races cities

both are incredibly hard to kill, thing is that bunker ele ahs more mobility that bunker guardian, i played once as a bunker ele in wvw, and i encountered a lonely bunker guardian, we fought like for 5 minutes lol, until my pt help and helped me kill him
