Has anyone got to test Sigil of Agility yet (5 sec swiftness on weapon swap) ?

If you mean the one that also gives 1 second of quickness, I think that only procs in combat.

Exactly that one, Swiftness in combat and Traveler Runes for outside of combat is what I’m thinking of for my roamer(s)

^So, thief was and is for mediguard what mediguard was for d/d cele-ele, seems ok to me

Has anyone got to test Sigil of Agility yet (5 sec swiftness on weapon swap) ?

Everything besides blocks and leaps let you cross it unharmed

Here’s en example how normal ranged attacks now penetrate walls too, standing on the wall is suicide

At the moment I am running with 2 (3 if traited Fragment’s of Faith counts) traps; Purification and Test of Faith, for the two dazes, the blind, protection and possible crits from ppl crossing ToF. Due to lagg and work I haven’t been playing enough so I am still uncertain if I will keep using Purification or go back to Shelter

Revenants can literally AFK and spam me with neverending pulses of Fury, Swiftness and Might, wonder what their performance is when they actually push buttons

Well weekend is over, they are back at work and I have no doubt they will put some more cooldowns and cast-times on traps to satisfy people who are struggling with them. Balancing all game modes around Conquest mode just starts feeling sillier and sillier, the traps do shine there (but not in higher tier lol..)

Rewards were reduced there so most farmers left for a more profitable PvE map

Yes, some of them triggered too many times, that was made impossible now. Now it’s just people running in and out of them

Swagatron.8065:

Traps are unblockable

You are missinformed, only one of them is unblockable.

This deserves to be on first page

The new F1 pull combined with a Mighty Blow or #5 right after does feel really satisfying however :)

RE: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/10-things-I-dislike-about-guild-wars-2/first#post4644962

1. Somewhat less clicking, for example you can now consume the whole luck essence stack at once

2. -

3. New meta-events in the new maps require co-ordination and timing

4. Difficult is certainly higher in the new maps compared to old open world PvE and most enemies can kill you easily

5. Raids, legendary armour, precursor crafting

6. -

7. -

8. Personal story is different now

9. -

10. Guild Halls exist now

I don’t understand, that video is posted on October 25th/before that has footage of people literally jumping in and out of Test of Faith, and the overperforming trap bugfixes were done after that date?

That would lead to reducing/nerfing other abilities which I do not want

For what game mode?

Drekor.5217:

or just pull people onto your traps to trigger them.

I believe that is the sole reason why the pull was created.

Check out this video: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/Video-How-to-fight-Dragonhunter-by-Arken/first#post5679907

One basic thing is to learn the visuals of the traps which are very clear, especially Test of Faith; ring of swords that punish you for crossing them, uninformed players can kill themselves on that trap alone when they run in and out of it. Easiest is to dodge immediately when you see a trap go off

Very good video, thanks for taking the time of making it, hope it helps people who try to face trapper DH as a classic Guardian understand how to counter them properly

Thing is, I give up all of my sustain and condieclear for the damage spikes from Traps, if they will disappear and the damage from traps will be too low (talking about future toning down of them) to punish even squishy builds, not to mention still having them dodgeable/blockable/triggered by AI, I will just switch back to good ol’ reliable Shelter, Meditations and RF.
Maw anyways felt too unreliable to have as Elite, too many times I saw it doing nothing

It’s completely understandable if it was proccing several times, but I won’t be happy if they start toning down the damage on the traps simply because bad players will ignore them even after the big visuals and try to engage DH as a normal Guardian

Got rekt with your thief or something by a DH?

Wtf is this a troll or not

If you have old influence left, for 10k influence you can buy 50 favor. The vendor sells a limited amount of favor/week

For PvE missions go to the guild missions settings, click on the kog there and select it to prefer PvE missions for the next roll of missions

Merkin.8412:

Pretty much.

I have played about 26 hours since Friday at 4:30pm.

And, I want more.

It’s fine as long as your real life is not getting affected negatively by it. Games are supposed to be fun, if you are getting burned out (stress), your alarm bells should be ringing. Take breaks when you are not having fun anymore, simple afk in LA and alt+tab out of the game or even better, leave the computer completely

What you need to do is take a break, and even more breaks after that. You are playing in an unhealthy way

Would require full rework of all maps, either that or a parachute as a compromise for people that don’t like the falling damage

Casuals

It is supposed to block all attacks from the front. Tooltip is wrong.

“Useless” for DPS-builds you mean?

Just noticed it’s a Leap finisher now too

Happened with specialization update, wasn’t explained why so guess just gotta live with it

Karl McLain.5604:

There were zero damage reductions to true shot…

hngh my heart, don’t tell me this is true

It’s in a good spot now, but I wouldn’t complain if it would be in an even better spot… ;)

Dirame.8521 had some gameplay footage of Bunker DH, for those interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=govr0sit2zo

100% stealth uptime is brainless and carries bad players. Deal with it

Do keep in mind all of them can be interrupted negating effects

Just throwing out there, what about interrupts from possible trap dazes? :)

BrooksP.4318:

They prob speed read it and saw the first part, and figured it was criticizing the quoter. It happens.

They probably shouldn’t be moderating then.

lol do the moderators even understand english?

A lot of builds in GW2 look good on paper but won’t work out in the game so well

What am I reading..?

Low cooldown and 1200 range make up for it, I don’t wanna get nerfed

For those who missed the video, it’s shown on 44:50 forward: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5hvZkKlISA

(posted by another guy pre-specializations) Still works out fine, you can swap out sigils and foods to your liking if it’s then more precision, power or healing you want

Really wish they’d make Wings of Resolve proc instantly, interrupts like at 1:57 got me killed all the time

Guessing this food https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Omnomberry_Ghost ?
