Guild Wars 2

That was a joke. No one would wear crap like that.

DiogoSilva.7089:

What, seriously? What happened? I liked how he was pretty open in his posts, and I was interested to see wha he would do for his next content.

Perhaps too open!

I don’t see anything unusual on my chrome. Could you take a screenshot please so we can investigate and fix it?

I find it bit too long, especially when it’s on schedule. I really want to have control when I do stuff.
Hard to have fun when just trying to get those 5 invasions done.

Inquest shoulders and Flame Legion gloves.

It’s good to remember that 15% from Heightened Focus doesn’t show up hero screen. It equals 315 Precision which is more than you get from Arms.

Why everyone always complains that I look crap?? At least I’m not wearing bikinis.

Bismuth.3165:

I read that the agony from bosses doesn’t increase when you go to higher levels but it only increases when you do the maw, doing uneven level is a smart way of easy leveling, I also heard there is a high chance of getting an exo/precursor doing level 80, more than 2 people said they got precursors, is it true?

Normal agony gets capped at 40 (all normal agony from 40 to 80 is same). Agony from Jade Maw gets ridiculously high at 50 (on my guide’s settings page you can play around with agony resist and fractal level and see how it goes).

I guess I have to hurry up. I have completed like 2 invasions. Finding 45-60 minutes for some open PvE is actually quite difficult.

You can always solo dungeons if you want some challenge.

I think Hammer is weak for high-end PvE.

Most of the CC is really weak. The only really useful one is pulling enemies together which you can’t do with Hammer (knockback is counterproductive). Also one single-target skill. Bosses have Defiant which means little to no reason to use CC. Even if you interrupt something they will just repeat it within few seconds (which you can’t get interrupt again because of Defiant). There are some exceptions but then simple Tremor from Mace off-hand is sufficient.

Defensive options are also bit lackluster because Weakness is unreliable. Dangerous enemies are still dangerous because they will either hit like a truck or a like a half-truck. Evading/blocking allows to mitigate much more damage (Greatsword has built-in evade and Axe main-hand can get defensive off-hand).

And your damage will be lacking.

I have used it few times when soloing elite groups on dungeons to keep them CCed. But with a full group they aren’t that dangerous.

Next challenge: stop moving like a crazy!

Bit curious., did no UI give any problems or did you just know cooldowns by heart?

In my case they all were ranging it.

Bismuth.3165:

haviz.1340:

When pug wipes, it’s always the fault of the guy who was doing something different, like meleeing.

I remember when it was my fault when the pvt ranger with over 7k ap died at lupi because I was meleeing lupi…

One time everyone else in my team wiped at phase 1… because I was meleeing it. They told me it got really confusing because of me.

I’m bit reluctant about adding him for blatantly cheating at laser room but I guess it’s for greater good.

KazNaka.4718:

a great leveling trait is arms I (Deep Strike). It gives you precision for every signets you have. This means you’ll need to get signets: I recommend signet of might, fury, and dolyak (they give power, precision, and toughness respectively), and of course there’s the healing signet and your elite signet of rage.
—

It isn’t that good anymore. Effect now scales based on level so you won’t get ridiculous critical chance. Also the trait is quite buggy and doesn’t seem to work half of the time (not sure if fixed).

If you are split second too far away from her she may start casting it (or maybe even queue).

Nikaido.3457:

Blix.8021:

I’m pretty sure it’s working as intended. For example, the spider boss does in ac doesn’t use her poison aoe if everyone is in melee range. It’s not an exploit to utilize that fact and if they didn’t want people utilizing it then why put it in the game?

She doesn’t use poison on people that don’t move. If you’re in melee but still moving even a bit you’ll make her use it.
—

Nah, it’s just range based. Try solo her once and stay still at high range or keep moving at melee range (or just watch any solo video).

I know, and that’s why I understood it incorrectly on purpose.

Sorry, I’m at work.

Again last topic got full. Reserving also this post so hopefully I don’t have to redo it anymore.

Wethospu.6437:

Signet of Might could ignore Blind.

I hope you mean the active effect.

Could work, but I think it would have to come with a reduction to the amount of unblockable attacks.

Passive effect already works even when Blinded.

I think it would be cool if every event would have significant daily reward. To encourage doing different events instead of trains.

Signet of Might could ignore Blind.

At least you have prettier weapons.

Now I’m using 30-0-0-10-30 with Empower Allies. Weapons are usually Greatsword + Axe/Mace.
It’s the current meta build, no surprises there. Except when someone else uses Empower Allies. Then I go Desperate Power.

Yea, I was talking about doing it at some point. However it’s not really exciting fight so didn’t have any hurry. I guess I can do my version on this weekend.
But still nice!

Sooner or later they realize that you can get multiple chests and they “fix” it.

Mesket.5728:

Wethospu.6437:

If doubling the bosses sounds too easy for you then let’s triple them.

Yay smart. You should work for Blizzard. At least you share their logic.

Well I think it is my fault, maybe I expected too much of this game and gave them too much credit. I was expecting clever encounters and instead we got one shot red circles.

Actually it is. Facing multiple enemies would require more coordination and positional awareness. It would also mean more pressure so less need for one shot circles. While also being fast and easy to implement.
Try to be realistic, don’t demand miracles.

If doubling the bosses sounds too easy for you then let’s triple them.

If the new gear is going to be based on gold then it’s like a double slap in my face for not “exploiting” easy Deadeye farming.
And I’m a hero, not a crafter.

I guess the point was to get reward for doing something challenging, not the other way around.
You can easily find challenge pretty much in any game, that’s not the issue.

If you do Hundred Blades and Whirlwind Attack you get about 12 stacks of Might during 4? seconds. Pretty much immediately after swapping your Might starts dropping. And when you get back to Greatsword you have 13 stacks instead of 25.
This of course assumes that party can give 25 stacks of long Might.

I honestly wouldn’t mind if doing some high-end content would actually give good reward.
Instead of doing something trivial like CoF P1, Deadeye or zerg-farms.

Open Fractals level 50+, just double the bosses with reduced health and give good rewards.

I’m 13 and I never kick people.

CuRtoKy.8576:

Critical chance over 100% doesn’t nothing.

Crit damage max is: 118% (equipment) + 10% (food) + 10% (Arcane Lightning trait on Ele) + 10% (Banner of discipline) = 158% + additional damage modifiers like sigil of force, conjure lightning hammer, etc.

Did I miss something or how did you get 118% from equipment?
44% (Ascended trinkets) + 10% (Weapons) + 22% (Celestial Armor) + 15% (Rune of Rage) = 91%

Anyways then: 30% (traits) + 10% (various trait) + 15% (Banner of Discipline) + 10% (Food) + 5% (Lightning Hammer)= 60%

Total of 151%.

More damage doesn’t mean same thing as multiplier.

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

—
I suppose there are a few annoying Risen in the very last run (with Korga) but only one person needs to make that run to finish the dungeon.
—

I hope you don’t mean that you just start a tea party at Lupicus and let your team carry you…

I dunno how you came to that conclusion, but yeah, I usually AFK after Lupi. I figure I’ve carried the party enough up to that point so it’s time to let them actually contribute a bit.

Maybe I understood word “suppose” incorrectly but I think it is used when you are assuming something. Which makes me think you haven’t really done the last skip.

The real issue is that you can’t use both merchant and trader at the same time.

LastK.6158:

yeah, it’s brainless with low skill cap as well

Desperate Power begs to differ.

What did you use for Stability? How did you deal with grubs?
Anyways, do you have any kind of proof (video, picture)?

On topic: I prefer fights with some depth. Fights which are so hard that you are literally forced to make mistakes and then have to recover from them. Instead of executing a pattern flawlessly which is what we currently have.

So what was your initial tactic (before any attempts) and final tactic? If you already knew every mechanic and had counter for everything then you were using a premade tactic (either by you or someone else, not exactly same as going without any info).

What about Liadri? How often you changed your tactic?

And never watched a video about it?

Nikaido.3457:

I don’t think you can see how skips are from the eyes of the usual pugs. If p3 had the “hardest skip” then why is p3 pretty much the only path they run ? p1 boss fights are a lot less tedious in low dps groups than the Crusher+Hunter combination. You can’t really trust the pug to cycle enough reflection to prevent the immobilize from Hunter, and in a low dps group you don’t really want to stand in melee inside the poison field either. And sometimes you’ll get a really, really bad pug that will pull them and make the crusher revive the fabulous group of mob at the gate, because that’s exactly what all pug groups need. This fight is a lot harsher in pugs than any of the Path 1 boss.

You can always pull first group far enough and then separate Crusher and Hunter (pull them back, range Hunter and he resets when Crusher revives him).

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

Dub.1273:

For path 2 and 3 you can solo every boss legit and don’t need to carry via portals. Also the skips are “easier”.

P3 has the hardest skips IMO. P2 is mostly just Deadeyes and P1 is just Oozes. I’d much rather deal with those than Risen Illusionists.

Abom is also kind of a pain in the kitten to solo legit. Alphard too if you’re not a mesmer.

When was the last time you ran P1? It has Risen, Oozes, Drakes and Spiders, even some Gorillas.

And those 10 attempts also included making your tactic from scratch and without any previous experience?
Or did you just copy someone else’s tactic while having done it 100+ times with a group?

I don’t know about you but I found soloing Lupicus quite challenging.

Either that or fix the exploits.

They should ban people who exploit.
