Eff that. Symbol majors are fine in valor. It synergises so well with altruistic healing.

Joriel.1530:

this is only my second kill, but for what i heard on TS this must be a time kill record, we went straight from 2nd phase to 3rd while he was vulnerable/stunned, and than he died straight from the 25% without leaving that stunned phase as well

So basicly you did an exploit. Posting proof that you exploited.

lol wow

they want you to get out of dungeons and do those spam F 50 times achivements

• prestigious skins with no stat differences
• build template
• being able to capture unique skills from bosses

when my guildie uses his on his war I get sharks all over my screen all the time -_-

That would be a good thing I think, but a bit too good for that to happen

what do I do when the team insists that there is little use kiting the ooze into the pools?

PraetorMortis.8610:

I agree the condition removal is a bit weak at the moment but the Oct. 15 update should help with that. 15 Zeal with a Hammer is pretty amazing. I consistently put 5-8 stacks of vulnerability on targets. Paired with the GS warriors, it’s another 10% damage for the whole group all the time.

As for my health pool, I think it was partly to help buffer those conditions. I do think 18k might be a bit high though. I’m not awesome enough to roll full zerker and do dungeons with 10k health. Suggestions on a good health pool size? 16k? 17k?

whatever you are comfortable with tbh, I thought I needed 15k and then I got used to it and kept chipping it down, now I sit comfortably at 12k, can go lower but I love my superior aria

With Clerics gear most of my damage is coming (and I do mean most in a team) from perma-retaliation on me and almost perma on my teammates. Runes I run on it are 2 Monk 2 Water and 2 Travelers. Lets me keep my buffs up for crazy long times…and one of those buffs also happens to be regen too :p

what if I tell you retaliation damage scales with your power?

I’d say Might stacks then take off the kid gloves and tell you Ozzy and Coley—and anyone else—that I roll up and smoke zerkers like a cheap blunt. bring your PvE junk into WvW and anyone who plays more than once a week knows just how long you’ll last against a havoc or a zerg. Frak: in a havoc or a zerg you’re glass cannon crud gets you dead at the gate cuz you’re over-reliant on dodges and no one’s going to waste time ressing a guardian that explodes in 15 seconds. Someone hits you and realizes just how soft you are, their mission in life becomes making sure you down ASAP if you don’t drop from AoE in the first place which you probably did because you are zerker thus you are leet.

So yes, please bring your zerk on in. I love farming you scrubs. You guys make me skill points and loot bags snaps fingers all day long and I laugh when you roll in here on a BnW about skill balance.

Just like all the other PvE scrubs we’ve been rolling over the last couple months. One of the best Commanders in our server is an AH guardian. He’s a hardass but he knows how to drop the hammer. And he also knows why high HP is important.

Do you? Sorry, redundant question. Actually, not sorry. Stopped being sorry halfway through reading page two. And as for redundant: You folk really need to think about why high HP is important and strong healing from a guardian is useful. But you guys don’t seem to understand that dirty word “think”. You just know how to spike AI and troll forums until you kitten others off.

8/10, you are getting there but you need to get more emotions in to pack a full punch.

wow awesome job!

OP what timezone do you play in?

Yeah I used to run 15/25/0/20/10 on my guardian but the condi removal was too weak for the stuff I was doing so I jumped on the Sw/F bandwagon >_>

Wukunlin.8461:

too hard

Not too casual?

my head explodes every time I realize there is an actual human controlling the toon I’m trying to kill.

yes but you will be surprised how squishy you are if you jump right into it with that build. Might be easier to use something like 10/30/0/30/0, get used to using your active defensive skills then switch to brazil’s build or any other optimum dps builds

AntiGw.9367:

ArmoredVehicle.2849:

The hassle here that most people don’t take into consideration is the loading times between areas just to do something so small such as this.

Then don’t do something small such as this. Plan your builds to be versatile, and don’t expect that a free respec in the middle of nowhere is going to cover your mistakes and faulty builds.

hilarious

I’m going to be ignorantly optimistic and hope that snafu is getting the permanent spiders fixed while it’s unavailable. Then will be returned as the fourth path/Scarlet’s replacement.

maybe tafu will become a fractal

Not enough dredge.

instead of spawning spiders the boss now spawns clown cars

spirit weapon guardian LOL

so how do guardians deal with condi spamfest these days?

with regards to PVE builds, the survivability you get is typically trivial comparing to the damage boost you get so sacrificing a lot of your damage to be tankier or hard to kill is just a bad trade in general. There are exceptions like TA end bosses (dunno about scarlet path) and teq where you can’t crit anyway so might as well be in PVT but generally if you want to do a dungeon path quickly, you would want to be in berserker gear (condition damage is extremely under powered for group content atm) with damage boosting traits.

As for switching at the end to lvl up your alt, well, some people just find that unacceptable. Personally I’m fine with it if the person asks me before hand, I will even hold the cutscene for them.

btw, the people you described sound very familiar XD

You can also get them with your badges of honor if you got some lying around.

can someone teach me how to play GW1?

I put my DM title on right after I got it because I was so happy that I have done every dungeon path in the game. I just forgot about it afterwards. I don’t even believe anyone actually look at my title anyway.

even before the symbol buff I have never seen my teammates not getting the protection symbol buff. Only time that happens is when someone is running around like headless chickens.

about pulse heal.. I don’t find the amount to be significant enough

Wukunlin.8461:

once in wvw I didn’t realize I had the wrong kit on my bar and used flamethrower on a zerg buffed by SYG…..

That’s why you should play real pvp.

too hard

Wukunlin.8461:

Retaliation is a nightmare for me. I used fiery rush on risen illusionist.

New retal meta in 2014, after everyone decent quits because anet cannot design anything remotely kitten

ce in wvw I didn’t realize I had the wrong kit on my bar and used flamethrower on a zerg buffed by SYG…..

rfdarko.4639:

There’s a difference between non-optimal and just plain stupid. The level of stupid a condi spec mesmer with scepter in a dungeon is equivalent to trying to hard carry a team in LoL with a philo stone and 5 warmogs. It’s not creative, it just bad. You have to either be trolling or not understand the mechanics of the game on any level to play a build like that. I don’t expect the devs to be perfect, but I expect them to have a basic understanding of their own game.

you still expect that after they added in the gold values for the end dungeon rewards?

LordByron.8369:

RNG is the only reqson to play fotm 48….

if a piece of content needs to rely on RNG to keep players playing them then it’s bad

LordByron.8369:

Unless we make boxes dropped only at 48 with a % comparable to ascended boxes….

that would be good

LordByron.8369:

Remove RNG from fotm…afterremoving rng from precursors and ascended while adopting same philosophy…

precursor rng is stupid as well

I would stick with berserkers even with hammers. I agree with oxxy that in pve there is no need for larger symbols, I still use superior aria because shouts are simply too useful

we just managed to burn down vevina before the dude died. Nothing different, won’t even talk to us >_>

I don’t believe keeping him alive till the end of the fight would change anything. It is extremely difficult to do though because he would have full aggro while he is still alive.

The Stain.4169:

Someone earlier in this thread said that there is not a single legitimate complaint in this forum. Seriously? That comment is ridiculous…

I was hoping it sounded ridiculous enough to tell it was sarcasm. It was a reference to certain posters in this forum jumping on every single negative opinion posted.

AntiGw.9367:

Entitled, is the word I’d choose.

see what I mean?

gear – full berserkers. Traits and skills: grab whatever utility you need: aegis, reflects, condi cleanse, maybe protection, go full damage with the remaining slots/points

Protect the hard work of players who spent months in fractal for skinsets…. (with low AR also…having to work twice than today)

If you Give fractal boxes is the final middle finger to old time fractal players……

So just because players had to do it a different way when it first came out means that they shouldn’t change it at all? Where’s the logic in that?

“I got mine, screw everyone else”

Quite the opposite..

I worked to get X
Another player worked to get Y

Second player now wants X for free without giving Y for free….

I just said…if X will become easier i want Y easier too.
Expecially since X is aesthetic and Y is a BiS equipment.

There is nothing free about doing fotm to get fotm weapon boxes.

if I can get my engi into a lvl 10 fractal I can test it XD. It’s the same deal as the turret part in CM P3, you need to get the timing right. If you are good at that then it can work… until you get multiple orbs hitting you then you probably will need proper projectile protection lol

I don’t see why not, but it may miss often due to angles of elevation

tbh GS has at least one use: when we need piercing, like hitting the melandru boss in arah through those green wriggly things. Beyond that however….

what’s up with all these thread telling people to stop moaning? are they professional trolls hired by anet?

I think I have enough bloodstone dusts to make a whole bloodstone

complete garbage

scaling of healing power is just bad. Zerker for damage, PVT for survivability.

fun fact: The most powerful burst heal guardians have is the tome heal (full health to 5 ppl). For that to be effective you need…. 0 healing power.

It’s like every two weeks we get a different type of garbage in our loot table

I have to admit I got tired of updating them, besides, I mentioned my pro guardian build alongside my list which is very outdated as MF gear is no longer available

majority of the spiders use projectile attacks so maintain projectile blocking skills under the tree and burn it down

“I got mine, screw everyone else”

the amount of spiders do appear to be a little overtuned and they don’t reset with a wipe. But it doesn’t require much to deal with all the spider attacks.

colesy.8490:

I thought bloodgruve crunched numbers showing that mace DPS actually isn’t that far off GS or sword?

It’s in some thread where he’s arguing with spazpanel

I hate that guy

I was talking about this one
the guy said I am wrong about zeal tree having bad synergy with hammer cos I should be swapping to mace for TONS OF REGEN

or the templates in gw1
