Guild Wars 2

lmao watch the announcement.. they explain why and it makes perfect sense, and honestly if the masteries and specializations are going to be like I think they are… it’s going to keep you busy anyways.

The one Toro linked is pretty good and has a decent burst.
I also use:

the main difference is you trade a little (like real small amnt) of damage for more dodges, but can get a decent amount back between might on dodge and the trickery 5 point minor

The post said 8 am PST so.. 10 CST and 11 EST

@OP
PM me ingame and i’d be glad to give tips or even 1v1 sparring duels.. been playing power necro a good bit in ranked and unranked and have even carried teams in both.

Also, don’t use staff as a power weapon. Swap it with axe/focus and make sure you keep that LF up so you can burst down anything in just a few seconds or even just to use DS as an oh kitten! Button

“My ranger and my necro have both taken down a champion solo. My thief, engineer, elementalist and guardian are hopelessly outmatched by all champs they have attempted solo. They’re almost certain to die without even getting a chance to run away from most champs.”
reads this… and then realises this is an extreme L2p issue and you just want to QQ on the forums… seriously how can you not solo a champ on guardian, ele, thief or engi -.-’ this is either l2p or you are just trolling

Warrior, Guardian, Elementalist, Engineer, Thief, Mesmer, Ranger, Necro…. yup if played well every profession can do well in each aspect of the game. However, War, Guard, and Ele are probably the most saught after for high lvl fracts… but thats usually just for speed clears, if you dont care how long it takes you can do w/e as long as you don’t make the group wipe.

“Deposit All Collectibles no longer deposits miniatures. However, they can still be individually deposited by right-clicking on them.”

woot.. lol thanks Anet xD

Somewhat all, she wants some build to use that no matter what game mode. But tends to do open world and WvW more.

Her exact words. “Porting back to LA to respec is just wasted time that me and my pet can use to cause more murder and meyhem!”

Yes, i know it is useful to min/max for each game type (i do most of the time, respeccing at least 5 times per day) but just want a sort of all around build.

Aight thanks… will tell her.. and is the trait/gear set-up ok?

Okay, so my GF(XiaoMai.3245) started a ranger and really likes the
class and is thinking about switching as her main( from necro). She
likes being the support dps with atouch of healing while I go
headfirst in the fight (as a new thief I made recently and like) to
take stuff out quickly. And I have already told her that she isn’t
allowed to go bearbow.

What I have told her to try(just from looking at a build calc):
Valk armor, zerk weaps
Longbow/shortbow, or shortbow/ axe&wh

and the build : http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fMAQJATVjEVB2VWaWoWCili9s/WBOxUYIG9UEL2XxcNA-jADBYLBigAg2AK9pIaslhFRjVNLyqFYKXCp2bC1mcQ2cIeDYA-e

and this is just a quickly made build, haven’t really taken long to fully look at each and every trait.

Any suggestions/comments? (Constructive only please)

0/0/30/30/10

Mace/shield || Sword/WH

Defense: dogged march, clensing ire, and spiked armor, mace mastery, or the reflecting missiles while blocking(cant remember name)

Tactics: lung capacity, quick breathing, shouts heal (can swap the shout traits for banner if you prefer but personally i prefer shouts)

Discipline: Shouts give adrenaline, or warriors sprint.

Full P/V/T armor with soldier’s runes
Cleric or zerker weapons .. I personally prefer the zerker for the damage but cleric is good if u want to just stand there and let people get mad because you wont die(or very hard to kill)

:( someone else can’t dodge and use condi remove…

Both metas are pretty much an l2adapt issue…. especially as an elementalist (according to sig)

Wish they’d just bring bwe (minus bugs) ele back lol i can just imagine the forums just crashing from QQ
Think about it… it would stop people from whining about warrior lol

Seriously though, I agree on thr RTL revert would make ele more fun to play.

Yes, it has been nerfed since then, you can’t hit 25k+ any more without going zerk sniper and being extremely lucky with crits. But, if you don’t mind being squishy and can stand behind a few people. Go right ahead and go sniper, i have done a few times and it is pretty fun.. but like i said you are incredibly squishy and if someone can target you, you are pretty much screwed.

Basically get the mindset of looking for low enemy health and drop them.

The build I use for sniping is the typical pve zerker 30/25/0/0/15 but with crackshot instead of the greatsword mightspam trait (can’t remember the name right now)

HS whine threads like this make me laugh every time … Why? Because it just means the Op doesn’t do more than 400(ish) dps to out damage HS. No, I am not defending HS, personally I have always used healing surge bc I like waiting till my hp is somewhat low and pressing 6 for a full (or almost) heal and then proceed to return stabbing the enemy to death.

Good God dude .. please tell me you are just trolling at this point… this is the second (there may be more idk) "this is a joke! " thread I have seen within the past five minutes of being on the forums….

Just a few tips (in case you haven’t played LB warrior for more that an hour)
1. Don’t use combustive shot at lv1, unless it’s an extremely desperate need for a burn aoe, or might stack

2. IF you absolutely have to use comb shot at lv1 pin the target down with 5skill

And another thing… Engi bomb (2 is the only thing comparable) has a 10sec cooldown so cannot be spammed plus can only be dropped below the engi so is pretty much a melee attack, where as combustive shot is a 1200 ranged attack

skullmount.1758:

Even if they add more weapons like they did last year (chainsword(s)/scythes/etc), they’ll be obtainable probably only two ways:
1) (most likely) in the kitten RNG cash boxes
2) legendary like requirements (like the moon shield, crossing staff, or spider bow)

The crossing was also a drop.. got it with my ele on the second time going through last years Halloween dungeon. Maybe the new will be like that.

All explorable dungeons have 3 paths. Twilight arbor’s(TA) are just done differently from the rest of the dungeons where you choose your explorable path right at the beginning. Fw/fw is forward, forward. One of the path combos. When you enter the dungeon you will go through the typical cutscene and then an npc will ask what direction you wish to go. If the group says fw,fw tell them forward for the first time, and forward again when they ask the second time.

As far as the profession lfg’ing … zerk is short for berserker, or an all out damage build

Hope this helped, if you have any more questions feel free to ask.

disclaimer this build is squishy and dodges are needed when you get close. I am not saying it is the best build ever (there IS NOT A “BEST” BUILD) but it is very fun (IMO) to drain some ones health at a distance, then if they do get close you can smack them with rifle 5 or swap to your dual swords and stack hella bleeds and torment.

http://www.intothemists.com/calc/index.php?build=-s;4RK-C-S4BL-60;9;4TT-9-47A267;11;9;9-kr0-g2vL

I personally like using this for pve pvp and wvw.
Full zerk armor/weps
Not for someone that just wants to kitten around, dodging is needed, due to zerker armor/weps.

So if you find sniping people and tossing a sword to quickly draining health and aren’t afraid of getting downed (can typically rally from the condi damage) try this out. Once again .. you are squishy so make sure you know how to dodge.

Please no forum trolling this post is simply to give someone a build to try

Whoopin.2943:

After all these posts and no one tells him Lightning Hammer… youre all fired.

Nothing whoops mobs like a Hammer Time build.

20 Fire
VI: Internal Fire = Deal 10% more damage while attuned to Fire
VIII: Conjurer = Conjured weapons have 10 more charges

10 Air
VI: Bolt to the Heart = Deal 20% more damage to foes with less than 25% health

20 Water
V: Cleansing Wave = Remove a condition from you and your allies when attuning to Water.
VII: Stop Drop and Roll = Dodge rolling removes burning and chilled

20 Arcane
III: Arcane Retribution = Gain Arcane Power at 75% health
IV: Final Shielding = Create an Arcane Shield when health reaches 25%

This is a VERY effective build for just about anything, been using one similar for a while. But just a tip … for the .5 secs you don’t have a conj. weapon, use a stun/cc type skill then pop your weapon back up. It also gives a little variety from the usual D/D, S/D, or whatever you like.

My layout (with naga)
Tab:fire
Q:Water
E: Air
R: Earth
Click wheel: swap target
-/M11 : Dodge
=/M12 : about face( turn 180)
E and D : strafe left/right
