Guild Wars 2

with a full spirit weapon build there is no stun breaks or stability which can cause some problems in certain encounters.

edit: no swiftness either

still not as bad as my 2 hr lvl 10 fractal run with 2 thieves and 2 necros

guardian 0/10/30/30/0 in hindsight I should have 10 in virtues for vengeful instead of blind exposuer. I had full berserker gear and just used a blackberry pie for lifesteal.

P1 As soon as I entered I use SYG so I don’t get instantly pulled, the retaliation kills the orb as well. I used my staff to keep hitting the shadows or liandri herself to give myself vigor and AH procs. Using symbol of swiftness whenever I remember.

P2 is just kiting with scepter and focus and staying away from shadows and aoe, retaliation did a lot of damage for me. PoV is really helpful for converting cripple into more swiftness or weakness into might. Other skill I had was retreat. Took a couple of tries after I figured out the patterns. I used shelter and renewed focus when I was out of dodge and about to get hit by aoes.

I guess we can test if boss crit with something like this

OT: is it just me or is the inventions line really bad?

well we saw how much thought they put into the last dungeon change

One thing I hate about AH is that I got into a nasty habit of spamming shouts when I get low instead of saving them when the team actually needs them. Since I switched into a dps build that habit slowly went away.

most of the time that is caused by npc dying, stupid risen malrona

Not soloable simply because the laser traps need people at different spots to hit the buttons at the same time. It is a bit rough for new players for a variety of reasons. First there is the recent patch where people stop running dungeon paths multiple times a day. Then there is P1 if someone screws up the 1-4 then the 3 clusters of silver golem is really hard to handle for the average pug. And in P2 P3 you just need practice to be able to dodge. All I can recommend is to find people, friends guilds etc, willing to teach.

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

I guess you mean P1? Yea, there should be a closer WP, idk why there isn’t.

Because Anet programmers. Isn’t it something like the waypoint that should be in P1 is actually in P2 or P3?

yup, that is why you get an extra completely irrelevant WP in P3, and I think there is a path where you get 2 wp’s with the exact same name like 1 metre from one another.

The Mexican Cookie.3690:

Mad Queen Malafide.7512:

colesy.8490:

So you get a grub spawned on you and then know for the next time to dodge when he lifts his arm. Clear visual cue.

Yeah, you’re totally not understanding my point clearly. Never mind, I’m not going to bother argue proper boss design with you.

Let’s not start that again

But every boss should put a big sign above your head before they hit you like Jade Maw!!!

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

You could reverse engineer boss power stats by letting yourself get hit a few times, then reflecting a boss projectile and seeing how much damage that does on your end. Reflected projectiles use your own stats to calculate damage, so if your reflected projectile deals 2x to the boss as the boss deals to you, you have 2x the boss’s attack stat.

wait, don’t most abilities have a flat component as well as a component that scales with power/condi? Some abilities are inaccessible to players as well.

Bismuth.3165:

full set = 1380 tokens
1380/180=7.67, so, 8 days and you can get a full exotic set, actually less if you do the path every 30 minutes, you get 20 tokens, so you can get upto 240 tokens per day easily, and it’s a good thing tokens are time gated, not for the globs of ectoplasm, but to show that you can get exotic sets either long and cheap way, or short and expensive way

This makes 100% sense, I fully understand why anet time gate everything now. Thanks

Anelyn.4593:

The whole idea is to be able to do each dungeon path with various group compositions.

While this looks like an amazing idea, can you imagine every path doable by 5 MF-gear wearers with 0 functioning brain cells? (Yes, I’m exaggerating)

yeah I used to go 10/25/0/20/10, I used blind exposure and burning last long for my major traits in radiance. The sustained damage is really nice along with the vul stacking. a little weak on condition removal though

I don’t even mind if they make them the lowest rarity mini as long as I can swap 4 of them for something I don’t have already

engi has superspeed that is meant to be +100% movement speed, but it is bugged and is barely faster than swiftness (actually I haven’t tested my engi for a while could have been fixed)

Isn’t the meditation build popular in PvP? They use the heal on meditation trait instead of AH (The ones I’ve seen anyway)

I just want to point out that some dps groups used to run PoV on their dps guardians because the condi removal helps the team to maintain 90%+ health for scholar rune procs

In order to defeat the last boss of TA F/U, the best way to solo carry a horrible pug is to use a guardian and use this OP build, you will literally be able to roll your face on the keyboard and the boss will die along with all spiders.

It is sad that we have to use a broken ridiculously overbuffed set up to deal with this equally broken encounter but until anet fixes it it is the only way for us get the rewards we deserve.

niiiiice.

btw, if mesmer used feedback when it is spewing out bombs wouldn’t that prevented you guys from dying? WoR still reflect bombs last time I killed powersuit (doesn’t do damage but still protects people from getting bombed)

Dolan.3071:

Three to four Ele’s could juggle any projectile skills required with Focus.

but by using focus it means the ele can’t use FGS or LH where as guardians and mesmers don’t really have to give up anything to provide reflects

colesy.8490:

I heard fractal 48 is a pretty good farm for tedium tokens.

colesy.8490:

fractal 48

colesy.8490:

pretty good farm

wut

maybe when I get real bored some time I will start doing SE P2 daily for masochist lolz

colesy.8490:

And why are you using your rifle?

While I would melee any day of the week, I don’t think it is reasonable to expect EVERYONE to melee lupicus comfortably.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

I don’t know how to test this because there is no way for me to see if a certain npc uses a particular skill as soon as it is off cd.

10 in virtues is always good, consecrations are just godly, WoR makes most ranged attacks lols and purging flames is a really good aoe condition wipe

I don’t think there is much point discussing this unless we know what exactly OP said that got him suspended o_O

I have a feeling this is going to be the next TA F/U, except this one has a better reason to complain about

Vayne.8563:

The question is what percentage of players want to farm. It seems like a whole lot of people, because they’re all in one place at the same time. But I don’t think it’s as big a percentage of the entire player base as most people think.

Seriously, we should make some sort of poll. I am really interested to know what proportion of the players like to do what.

I think you are fine unless the people issuing bans have gone completely out of their minds. More like these people will be warned about abusing the report feature.

chainskull.2691:

First off, i know there isn’t a 100% tank build but i would like to take punishment for the team (face tank)

there is a problem with this: too much aoes in this game

I can make one as well but are we all gonna make one and fill the front page? There is no way everyone can agree with each other in some ideas

Tanky stats are like training wheels for people who are not comfortable with squishiness. Otherwise go full dps to be more useful.

That is all there is to it.

LordByron.8369:

As many poor players when you can t just prove your point you recur to the usual QQ or Fnboysm accusations depending on wich is useful to your lack of knowledge.

But i deleted the long list i just say 2 things

The proof of your elementalist being carried is quite easy:

I can play fotm (high lvl start at 40 to 80 when AR is not enough to save you from oneshot) with pugs, you said more than one times you wont…….that alone is qute enough.

Other thing is i m sure every elementalist player choose to play a caster to swing a HAMMER with 5 attacking skills and nothing other….

The part about mesmer and fractal EXPECIALLY dredge is so wrong that is quite clear you don t have any point other than trying to discuss the posters themselves….

wow
-do you even know what QQ and fanboyism mean?
-anyone can join a party LF1M for FotM 79 and go into the instance, point?
-there are no “caster” classes in this game
-ele damage is pathetic without the hammer. Hammer also has aoe blind and blast finish in the auto chain and eles also have a trait giving aoe fury when blasting firefields,
-everything mesmers can do in dredge can be done much better with guardians, unless you are talking about the blink portal exploits.
-at least make an attempt to make your engrish understandable

Dolan.3071:

Get all 5 people to range attack in melee range, hope for the best.

…. The best being a massive AoE knock back that will one hit KO most of your team and send them into the lava, why do we even want to know how this works xD

we tried having everyone standing on the rim of the platform ranging a couple of times, didn’t work

Magnetron.5823:

Remove Bright’s post.

Magnetron.5823:

CLose thread.

lol mods do this mods do that

Ashym would be really difficult I think, with all these fat charr npc around people can easily miss the AOE agony animation. The meteor shower has no red circles and is most likely one shot. If he takes out his FGS, a split second late WoR or if he decides to WW straight away before anyone has the chance to dodge then it’s a wipe

I have seen lot’s of other threads like this and I don’t think 3 vote kicks will solve the problem. And to be honest, I really don’t know how they are going to solve this problem, except for your suggestion that people can’t be kicked past a certain stage. Even then the problem will still exist but won’t be as bad.

mesmer GS5 works iirc

Xhyros.1340:

When I used Entangle on my Ranger, the entire party was (cough filter cough) hit by a crazy aoe pushback into the lava. I didn’t think anything of it. On third round that run, I used it again, and incidentally bore witness to that attack again. I never used entangle on that boss since. I have never seen that attack since.

very interesting, I don’t see any common factors between entangle and iDuelist but it is more food for thought

As much as I hate this change I don’t think much will be done about it. NCSoft/Anet has found that time gating gives them something they really like and it looks like time gating everything is the ultimate direction of this game.

From what I know guang jumped into that troll ranger dps thread started by obal (the one with banner dps tests) and called everyone stupid and that is what started the kittenstorm. In other words, this is all an emotional problem and what the claims of each class people say won’t do much until everyone calms down.

Dub.1273:

I’m not sure who made claims about eles doing less damage than rangers or whatever else.

prolly those staff camping eles who only knows about water attunement

Waar Kijk Je Naar.8713:

Why are people so focussed on beating Liadri anyway? All you get is a few AP and a mini. Most people seem to dump mini’s into their bank and forget about them.

It is the realization that I’m not the best player in the game that hurts.

okay you can stop laughing now, I’m actually serious.

Dolan.3071:

What can an Engi bring that an Ele and Warrior can’t?

High damage at 1500 range. Too bad we don’t need that often.

True, having to res and run back every single time is much more annoying than the fight itself.

auto shield of wrath doesn’t affect the auto chain at all, whereas the torch you need stop attacking to throw your thing

I’m a bit depressed how I simply don’t see myself killing liadra while others find it a walk in the park.

But do I demand they nerf it so I can complete it? no.

Having said that, I do find that place pretty laggy for me, but then I know people who got every single achievement there while dealing with worse lag then me.

dolan, go to sleep.
