Guild Wars 2

Norn male using sword #3 has new voice now, very important to notice this

Sorry, It was a badly formulated joke, not to be taken seriously

e: My apologies to those people I managed to get upset with this

I wouldn’t want to be a pessimist but I don’t have my hopes on the game remembering my drops or unlocks except for the ones I have now on a character or a skin/item in the warderobe/bank

wow havent you heard of dodging? why should i use up my utilities to reflect and protect you when i can use them for more dps? sounds like a l2p issue in your case

Camarell.5648:

Only reason to use shield as guardian is because it looks way cooler then focus. I have shield when im in a town. I use Focus 100% of the time i fight over shield.

Haha I do this too, wish it would be viable in the field

AH is still very viable, the +25 movement speed in zerg builds is however not

ilginsara.8752:

I’m not running with travelers only I couldn’t write them all cause of the limit in topic I’m running with Traveler/Monk/Water 2 each.

Yeah mixing runes is pretty much dead now after the feature patch, Anet wanted people to run full sets of runes and they got what they wanted…

Playerbase is decreasing?

If you go Meditation in WvW you will need to choose either Traveler/Speed Runes, Moa Feathers or a Scepter…
Don’t want Traveler/Speed Runes? Use Moa feathers or wield a Scepter. Don’t want to wield A scepter? Use Moa feathers or Traveler/Speed Runes etc etc, it’s a vicious circle. Otherwise you’ll end up in situation where you’re just walking after a guy kiting you eating his attacks watching your own heals and meditations go on cooldowns while he will barely be using anything beside his autoattack

Melandru Runes combined with Lemongrass food just works wonders against all these condition builds, but just don’t forget to dig out that mobility from somewhere

Yeah I got infracted already and my post deleted when I participated in said subject, I’m just gonna ignore them now

Well imagine a bunch of berserker guardians running around hitting 6k crits with their staffs autoattack… I think there is a reason it is made weak

Strength in Numbers don’t work well in PVE, usually not needed but I don’t diss it completely, so not much big of a deal if it’s missing. But the part about not popping their virtues I assume they are players who have mained Warrior and decided to play Guardian and focus on selfish play

Make sure to check Obals guide between the stickies in this forums, it has got it all covered: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Guide-DPS-Guardian-for-PVE/first

Bring GS/S+F 90% times, Hammer for fights that you know the protection is actually needed. Try 2/5/0/0/5, Virtue of Justice will bring might, blind and vulnerability, Resolve will bring Regen and Courage will bring protection and you’ll have all your consecration skills last longer and cool down faster

Knowing your encounter will help you a lot, you’ll want to keep changing your selected consecrations and shouts to suit what is needed, bringing stability will be your job and everyone will notice when you forgot to bring it, same thing with reflections (the spirit shield is also a very important tool in some encounters)
You don’t have a lot of Aegis to spam out just like that, so try to time it for big attacks so it doesn’t get procced by some lame small attack.
The bad guard concentrates only on himself, he’ll ignore the party members health and condition bars while focusing on himself with stuff like signets and meditations in PVE – but you can’t be suicidal either, since you’ll be running around with ~12k hp in berserker armour you’ll die easily yourself if you time dodges and blocks wrong (personally it feels a bit embarassing when I lie dead and I have light armoured ppl running around finishing the boss)
From shouts you’ll want to use Stand your Ground or Retreat, Hold the Line doesn’t work that well
When a typical stack starts in a dungeon, you can put down a fire field (assuming an Ele didn’t put one down already) from either Purging Flames or Hallowed Ground and blast it with your Focus #5. You can also quickly snatch a Warriors banner and use its skill 5 to blast another 3 mights for your party

Shortly: bring dps, stability, blinds, condi removal, reflections, some might and then use magic and don’t die

Now I need a calculator to actually see how much money I will get in my hand when selling items?
This specific feature doesn’t sound like an update, more like a downdate. Other things with the Trading Post update are actually updates

They have less dye options, but the answer is somewhat yes – they have 4 dyable slots in the whole outfit instead of you being able to dye each part separately like normal armour.
You can preview an outfit with different dyes in the preview window, here’s even the chatcode for it: [&AgHgBQEA]

You obviously had too little toughness

Have you checked out WP’s video about it? If not: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xslnnsNAUPA

Thanks for the info, wasn’t aware. I don’t know what to say about that trait either

Might be a stupid question, but what keeps proccing the 4 confusion stacks on the guard?

4/5/0/0/5, perhaps?

Nope, if no surprises happen. It’s probably in a good spot

I wish #4 would be replaced with something like Warriors blocking skill.. One can dream

What sort of gameplay are you actually thinking of? Being in zerg? Small group roaming? Solo roam?

The HUGE BUFF the meditation guardian is getting is having a slightly smaller cooldown on the elite skill ‘Renewed Focus’ and having it heal like other meditations. The fury from it will almost be nullified by the skills own casting time
Merciful intervention doesn’t work without an ally within the small casting area near it. And that’s it.

6 VI IV XI

Shelter, Purging Flames, Stand Your Ground, Hold The Line & Renewed Focus

Adds stability and protection to your group. Gear and trinkets whatever tanky ones you want – soldier and celestial work. Melandru runes are awesome combined with Lemongrass poultry soup as consumable

Correct me if I’m wrong but what I understood

Merciful Intervention:
- No stun break
- No heal without an ally within 180 radius to trigger (?)
- No blink without an ally within 180 radius to trigger (?)

Leaving only the traited source for heal and fury (?)

vespers.1759:

seems legit

Your problem being..?

vespers.1759:

Guess we’re playing two different games because i was under the impression that leaders could be kicked anyway. You just don’t want people to profit when they kick you. If they want to kick you, they’ve always been able to don’t make BS up about being immune to it right now

I don’t care the slightest of the profit – what I care about is people joining my group, kick my friend or some other poor player to make room for their guildie/whoever at the end. With this system I am able to tell them to invite the guy back in or else I’ll disband the instance. It has worked every time. I feel pretty immune.
With your bad new system you will be removing this from my hands and give the kickers total power, to even get rid of me.

Shame on you for trying to help bad players and making this community take steps backwards

No Pulse.2967:

Tbh, I don’t think it’s gonna be much of a change for sellers. People selling atm are exposed to the same danger if they don’t have enough fillers. You could argue that there’s gonna be more incentive for griefers to sell the path they take over, but they are gonna experience the same in return.

wot

Currently: seller gets booted → instance shuts down = Griefing not encouraged
Improved version by Anet: seller gets booted → instance does not shut down → griefers finish dungeon → griefers are rewarded with loot, gold and tokens = Griefing is encouraged

vespers.1759:

Like I said, no system will ever be perfect, but the vast majority of people don’t solo or sell paths. For all those people, this change is a really really good one.

Speak for yourself, I’m a freaking casual with dungeons and this will reduce my will to ever run them with random people to zero. I can no longer protect my friends or myself. This is change is a really bad one.

I don’t pay for my transmutation charges, when leveling my toon I map easy areas and get 1 charge per area I complete while getting XP for him.

What stopped you from hosting earlier when it was raining at your house? A DC that does not dissolve the party?
People who wanted to get rid of the last bit of moderation in dungeon instances, seems to be people who have no idea how the dissolving of instances work. I’ll send curses in your general direction.

Rasalhague.8270:

Apolo.5942:

My advice, stick with the necro.

This guy knows what hes talking about.

Stay out of Guardian.

I think that is the same guy who said in another thread he runs meditations in PvE groupcontent

Also noticed pets carrying the buff, I’m hoping it only shows as a buff and doesn’t actually buff them

Make own lfg, make sure the description attracts like-minded people. Don’t play in “speeclear” or any other groups described like that if you’re looking for more laid back people

Shinji.8320:

seriously, why is she there? i tried interacting with her and she just vanishes. is Anet going to make it so that she gives us the Delaqua Family Blade that a friend of mine found while data mining?

she is there because she is dead and she is a ghost

full berserker set is only one of the sets i carry with me all the time and im far from being pro, dont try to put words in my mouth

i had issues with the weird lagg in that room myself and i agree, that can really destroy your attempt to survive there

ugh, now that LS shadow dragon seems to be way too hard to defeat for the average player wtf is wrong with players nowadays, 10 years back complains like these did not exist

learn to play your class. blink, use illusions/phantasms, take advantage of the tendril AI and use stealth

so you might die once at the freaking end boss, so what, that’s when you retrait and learn what u did wrong instead of complaining on forums

let’s remove bosses and replace them with normal easy minions instead, no point in having bosses if you just want to autoattack them a few times to death without dodging

Hayashi.3416:

This unfortunately happens far more often than one might hope.

Been there, done that, myself. :/

I really recommend you to actually level up the hard way in PvE, learning your class mechanics. Following a train hitting autoattack will end up in you becoming a level 80 with a class you don’t know how to play

It’s sad to read this happening, even when the games’ own developers have stated that selling dungeon paths is okay. I have problems trying to understand the motivation of these people…

Anyways, one way to not get yourself kicked would be having a friend jump in his own instance of the same dungeon, have his own party and stand in entrance without completing anything, make the LFG and redirect trustable people to /join your name with the real instance. They would not need to pay anything before they are in the real instance with you, the real seller. This way, if griefers join your friends party and kick him, nothing is lost.
Yeah, seems like a lot of trouble and some buyers might have problems trusting this system but I can’t come up with any other way

The game assumes you participated in Living Story season 1 and the story builds up from there. You can not play it anymore unfortunately, so if you reroll now it will go from Personal Story (ends with you defeating Zhaitan) → directly to Living Story season 2.

The way Living Story season 1 was built just makes it impossible to be replayable, unlike Living Story season 2 that is built so you can unlock/play each episode as many times as you want.

The only thing there is to do now for you about season one I can think of is simply reading up about its storyline

Your personal and the living story are both the main story, your personal story just happens before anything in the living story. It goes in the following order:

Personal story -> Living Story season 1 (ended with you beating Scarlet) -> Living Story season 2 (currently going on)

On the Wiki you can find the Timeline that shows you how big things have proceeded in the lore

scary lady, she seems to like to make people owe her. she’s planting a spy in the pact at fort trinity and now she’s gonna plant another spy in your party, kasmeer

rate me theory

always remember to compare what it would cost you to make any other ascended back item with selectable stats,
spinals were the only relatively cheap one, wish i would’ve saved more of those blade shards

NEOCROM.8957:

Look at his face, waiting to take our glory, again

seriously in what part does this happen or do you all just copy that sentence and repeat it?
freaking irrational behaviour

mPascoal.4258:

Unless you ar with some good Ele in the party to stack might, your only source will be what? GS AA and Virtue of Justice for 3 stacks?

wtf dude

Ignore the haters, do whatever you were doing, continue life

The shield. Currently I’m walking around in the noncombat-zones wielding it, hoping it would someday be good :/

No, it’s part of any MMORPG

Consider joining a guild, it will make your gaming experience even better
