Why dont Condi builds work?

Posted by: Wukunlin.8461

Adding to what people have already said, a lot of bosses cleanse conditions, subject alpha, CoF P3 boss, and Simins on top of my head. Whereas I have never seen a boss use endure pain or something like that.

Stop complaining about dungeon rewards

Posted by: Wukunlin.8461

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:
Seriously.

1g for a dungeon run is WAY too much for ANY of the dungeons given their level of difficulty. The rewards you get from them currently are vastly out of proportion with the time and effort you put into them. 3g from Arah P1, which is literally the easiest dungeon in the game? Really?

Stop whining about not being able to farm COF and actually get good at the game. I’m making way more dosh since the last patch and all I’ve been doing is akitteng in various instances. And I was already making enough before to fund multiple legendaries.

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.

Help with Tanky supportive dungeon build

Posted by: Wukunlin.8461

cookie cutter AH build with hammer and staff:
0/0/30/30/10
Honor: retributive armor, strength in numbers, altruistic healing
Valor: superior aria, and then any two of: empowering might, resolute healer, symbol last longer, pure of voice
Virtues: master of consecrations

Knights armor with soldier runes, berserker trinkets

healing skill: shelter, signet, and human heal are all pretty good, take whatever you find suitable.
utilities: 2 shouts, I use retreat and SYG the most but others can be useful as well. And 1 consecration, most likely wall of reflection or purging flames, sometimes hallowed ground. There are some encounters where you will find 2 consecrations very useful so don’t hesitate to use them if it makes your gw2 life easier.
elite: renewed focus, solid panic button, recharge virtues if your team needs an urgent aegis when retreat is on cd or something like that.

gameplay: basically you stick with hammer auto attacks for group protection uptime, hammer 2 for some more dps at the end of your chains if you like, hammer 3 and 5 are good CC’s, hammer 4 is an okay interrupt but most cases you want to use it against the wall. staff is mainly for the empower at the beginning of fights, very useful when your team needs periodic burst damage like simins, snow fractal boss etc.

Use it as a starting point and tweak it to fit your own playstyle

i just wanted to add another attack that can be reflected and doesnt seem like it should be

in path 3 of HotW one of the mini bosses has a water attack that travels along the ground and knocks you down.

reflected it also hits him for around 4k damage on all three parts of the attack.

do you also know the poison pool attack (combat log says “regurgitate”) by the alpha drake can be reflected?

It has nothing to do with rushing. I play with zerker gear because it’s better, but I still “sit back and enjoy it”.

There’s a large difference between people who want to “sit back and enjoy it”, and people who want to pick weak stats. I know, I know: people enjoy build diversity. So do I, especially as a big GW1 fan. But this game’s design does not treats all builds equally. So don’t blame the players for “rushing in”, blame the systems. It’s the systems and the mechanics in place that discriminate most non-zerker builds.

But the system isn’t flawed, the player’s logic is. I never run with zerker parties and I’ve done every dungeon just fine. Nothing in PvE requires zerker gear(or any other stat combo for that matter), the players do. I just hope that when they release the LFG tool that they make it as easy to see who I don’t want to play with as it is now.

Yes, it is possible to contribute nothing to a group, get carried, and still finish a dungeon. Not all of us want to play that way, however.

What about if you’re all rangers and none of you are zerker. Then how are you being carried?

This is where people take hours and hours on a single path (and then probably never finish) and then complain about contents being too hard

You really are underestimating great Ranger gameplay. As much as the Profession could be improved, they can do great things for a Dungeon run.

On the contrary, I think such a run could be pretty fun, and am 100% sure it won’t take “hours” at all; especially if the players are experienced with the Dungeon path in question.

I know what rangers are capable of. The thing is most people that actually knows how to play a ranger in PVE would be wearing berserkers.

OK, this is all about arrogance. My way is the right way to play. Can you read it in your own words?

Why not let people play their way without insulting them or their gameplay?

whoa, who did I just insulted?

Really? Read it again. “people that know how to play a ranger in PvE would be wearing Berserker’s” Otherwise, “they don’t know how to play.” Not only intolerant and insulting, but simply wrong for many players.

You are clearly twisting my words to insult yourself so have fun with that

he’s not talking about coming back dead, the whole thing with dungeon reward system in this game is if you don’t have a character in the instance in that certain points on time where the reward pop up screen shows up you get nothing. So when you DC at those crucial moments then you get absolutely nothing

reread what he said

and? He’s talking about re entering the instance after dc puts you in defeated states, which adds salt to the fact that you miss out on the daily chest.
