Guild Wars 2

Its not misplaced … It’s just the preview that bugs (noticed too on my human mesmer). Once you got it, it fits fine. Greez

Thats something I’ve gonna test “soon” too. Probably gonna undo my traits, pick my ascended weapon and shoot some dummies and take some notes. Then I’ll use a common white weapon and increase my power with traits and do the same. I should now deal less damage – I hope I will :s

I just can’t understand why you “waste” 30 points in illusions. You ain’t gonna shatter your phantasms anyway, are you?

As for me – to be honest – I don’t like the pistol much. I prefer to use the sword offhand since the phantasm deals about the same damage, but I’ve got a block to stay longer in melee. It depends on the situation tough.

Since I use all the weapons I like to have as much overall adventage as I can. So for me I go 20/20/0/30/0 because I don’t need the pistol trait (as I said, I often prefer sword). So I invest in more power and condition duration. The condition duration will grant longer vournability stacks and also increses the 20 in power – cribble if clones die. It synergizes very well with the staff, since you got longer conditions (more damage and debuffs), wich results into more damage for the iWarlock.

But if you like pistol – stay at 10/30/0/30/0, definitly worth it! As for pistol 5, its simly a good stun and cc. It reacts pretty fast and a interrupt is never wrong. Just sayin: Sword block can also be canceled early by pressing it again, shooting a projectile that stuns all enemies in a line.

The +3% damage per Illusion has the problematic point, that it does only count for your own damage and not for your Illusions. Bad description yes … Illusions deal damage based on your own main stats and weapon damage as far as i know. For example – Precision will increase their crit chance, but a sigill that increases your crit chance won’t increase theirs.

That’s why I like to give my Illusion full power with +32.25% damage (1.15*1.15).

10/30/0/30/0

• So you have +15% dmg on phantasms,

• Fury for phantasms,
• 20% CDR and buff for sword,
• aswell pistol

• aswell focus and reflection,
• another reflection buff
• and again +15% phantasm dmg
• and mooore reflection :P

I just mean if I have traited it, does it mean it cleanses everyone or jsut me :P

just wrote the numbers – normally I do 2 4 3 2 and fill gabs with 1 of course …

edit: not every party is perfect … but yes if the damage fits this is of course the better option!

thats pretty terrible – the skin is just green? :/ bad … better also write a ticket

does it also work for allies?

Dom IX is “torch skills remove cons” ?? If yes does the summon or the attack of the phantasm remove one condition?

Can’t confirm nor agree with that. I allways start with Sword 3, Focus 5, Sword 3 again, then 2 and switch to gs while rollback, 4, 3, 2, and 1 on the farest target to hit them all in a line. Its easy to outrange them and by that time they are pretty hard hit. I would never melee them since after BF you don’t have anymore to evade the brun. They rarely die fast enough to not damage you any further. Also additional Illusions of the GS will will take aggro maybe and protect the team a bit. This is one situation I’ll allways use sw/focus GS over sw/x sw/y.

Maybe it will after 15. Oct condition scale buff.

Use a transmutation stone on a white item.

It’s not that easy …

Actually it is that easy.
The whole bank thing… not necessary.

When have you done this the last time? When I did it the last time I had to do it twice because transmutating it in inventory made it soulbound… Or maybe I just made a mistake – was my first time back then.

Scepter 3 has the buggy GS sound aswell.

RNG? What does that mean? :o

If you don’t think dungeons are soloable then you’ve probably not heard of Wethospu. Youtube his videos.

Now this is a channel I like!

Without Phantasmal Haste:
Swordsman – 144
Berserker – 115
Duelist – 98
Warlock – 81
Warden – 81
Mage – 30

This was the DpS table from another thread. I remember the iMage hits up to 4 targets. The “problem” is just that he also is able to buff allies. So if he would hit 4 enemies he came up to 120 damage in this table. I guess ø its 2 hits wich results into 60 damage, maybe with a hybrid build + confusion a bit more. Also retalation’s up then. The damage isn’t that bad at all against multiple enemies. But single target – ye it sux xD. Sure he IS on the “bad phantasm list” but it’s not even that terrible as I’ve expected.

Then simply make you challenge. You say “open world is no challenge at all”. When what are you gonna do if you meet a harder champion? “Ugh, I’m not in a team so I’m not supposed to do this one” … just accept the challenge. “Group Event” just means “challenging Event” since they are doable – dungeons aren’t.

spoj.9672:

They are the only hard pve content. Theres nothing hard about open world.

Wanna see you solo any of the Krait-Witches and saying “easy” after it…

Hm – do you have maxxed all settings for best graphics? I do and I can’t see a difference :|

So what’s more fun? A pick up group or an organized easy way? :o It really depends I guess xD I mean I think it’s more fun to go an easy path with noobs than with “pros”. But on the ohter hand I’m begging for an organized team at high fractales.

Since october patch I often have the “problem” that if I summon a Phantasm or Illusion it sometimes will attack not what I have marked. It runs around kills some other stuff and after it has done that, goes to the next enemy and keeps killing what ever it sees.

Happened to me at the great jungle worm and at scarlets TA path against the elementals. My phantasm just killed the slime and went to the eles after that.

I don’t know if I should be happy that they don’t die or if I should be angry that they focus wrong. It just happens sometimes, they also spawn at my target but simply walk away Its hilarous to watch but kinda sux. Anyone has noticed the same?

I tought “what is this kittenty thread again …”
BUT IT WAS HILAROUS keep it up xD

Kinda – also look at the new TA path, it’s not too easy neither too hard. It’s perfect and requires some smart moves. It’s not one of those brain afk – walk in a circle – faceroll paths like CoF. I like the way it is and also I’m really in love with the dialogues. Best Quote ever:

Pirate: "Our work is simple – if scarlet says kill, we kill, if Scarlet says steal, we steal and if she says “I’m bored” … COVER!!!"

Btw. I really like GS in many situations at CoF p2. I mean you can’t really stay melee against the flamethrower guys in the beginning, and the trashmobs before the door are also pretty ok with GS (not that GS > others, just staying it doesnt suck there!). But also at the “final boss”. I really really can’t attack that kittening stone melee. Where do I have to stay!? It allways tells me “miss miss miss” so I went range with GS and dealt dmg :|

Yup, bombs are awesome for leveling and pretty fun!

Flamethrower in PvE is just a might kitten. For honest support go for grenades and elixier gun with many finishers.

Torch is bad in PvE but not unplayable. It brings up some nice utility especially if traited. Also it has the only combofinisher-explosion we have. And they are allways good.

95% coul have been 94.9% and then you still wouldn’t have had 100%. Just sayin. But I guess it doesn’t since Phantasms only copycat your main stats: Power, Presicion, …

why S/P if you are going melee? S/S is about the same damage but gives a block :o

Your option – I still agree with me that GS can be used very well in CoFp1 first room against those mobs. I mean I could do a record – but then even if I’m right, you probably are going to say “I would have done it better with sw/sw sw/focus”. To prevent this, tell me how you would engage them. So you say I pull them to the wall with focus, 3, 5, switch, 4/5 (sword or pistol??), 3, 2 and feedback somewhere between?

greez

Your post seems to be full of hate … but still – so to melee the end boss means to oneshot him?? o.O Colesy?

But if you melee the dredge final boss, when will you pull him under the next crucible? Or is it enough time to stay at the same spot? Has been a while since I went fractale :P

nonononono!!!
:D

colesy.8490:

What will happen with your post? “lol you’re funny, those stupid elitists just don’t get it” will probably be the average sentiment.

… I’m sorry Colesy >_>

My statement was “GS can be useful in Situation A when you use it like X”. What you answer is “GS sux in Situation B, better use Sw and use it like Y”. I told you read my sentence. You did the same thing a few times and NOW you come with “GS sux in Situation A B C D, better use Sw and use it like Y”. You blame me for things I haven’t even said and I guess you do this often. Otherwise ppl wouldn’t mock you around like that. Noone hates somone else without a reason. Just religions do so, but thats another theme :P

I know that you are not stupid since I think everyone who says “general: SW > GS” is smarter than one who says “general: GS > SW”. But it’s not smart to say “allways: SW > GS”. And this annoys me. You can’t even say “Yes I guess SetA used as X is as viable as SetB used as Y”. No you allways keep going and I know you won’t admit this, probably you’re not even gonna read this post exactly. So tell me Colesy: Why the elitism?

First of all – Mesmer isn’t a class to deal “as much damage as fast as possible”. This is the Warrior and Ele or maybe Thief for single target. Mesmer are supporter and need some time to get their damage up since it relies on their Illusions.

It’s what you allways do, just with other words, but the message is the same. Pathetic? It’s pathetic that you still didn’t read my post or/and that you keep arguing about a trashmobs discussion I’ve never talked about. Pathetic – yes – a perfect word for the whole situation. Done? Oh boy I wish I could be done, but I can’t resist the amusing moments I have in threads like this when you appear.

Carighan! NONO thus IS Not tRUe! Gs is allwaYSs bad aGainst STrok mobs. GO sw/sw and sw/pistol or focus – alLWays. Too STronk, I neveR swaP wEAPon – wOrks FIne

Oh … dear lord … why me T_T sigh
Thats what I meant. I said “Can you plz read my first post again? The one after “Nretep”?” But NOOOO let’s not read other posts. Better babbling all day long and repeat what I said what is actually not better. You just made yourselves look so ridiculous right now …

Since when are the mobs at the first room at cofp1 not silver?

Dude … what are you talking? Can you plz read my first post again? The one after “Nretep”?

You really don’t get it, do you? It seems just like you are simply too lazy to change your weapons. So blame other weapons even if they are obviously a better option in serval situations. And this is one of those situations! So against trashmobs you don’t switch your weapon to pistol? Well why don’t you start then with GS 4 and switch immediately and stay same as with the pistol – on your sw/focus?

“I’ve said many times” blergh – can’t even read it anymore – just accept the fact that “even you” can be wrong!

First room, pull 2 mobs to the wall. Now the Warden / GS deal damage to 3 enemies. I’m not a GS fanatic, but I defend weapons against haters if they are wrong. Focus and GS will outdamage the pistol and sword offhand by far. Sure you have now your “crappy” GS attacks for about 8 seconds now. But the phantasms will still outdamage you. GS 2 and 3 are pretty ok and compareable for sword AA. Now you can sit next to the other building and AA for 4-5 seconds 3 enemies in a line. Better cast a nullfield against brun in this time. Switch back to Sword and finish clear this room. Now my dear self-appointed elitists, do you think you would deal better with swsw swpi?

I want less steampunk – I love it but it sux all the time. Scarlet has to die already and bring some evil Norn Ele … it should look like Mr. Moustacho.

Some things should allways stay as they are and some things need to change all the time. The open world should change with the living story – dungeong shouldn’t. To ADD a path temporary – yes – to remove one – NO GO!!

Wait … did I miss something? I tought “an additional new path” is coming

It’s not that easy …

1. Creat a new Character – Necro (or any light Class ;D) with the Mask you desire.
2. Do the intro level
3. Buy a white light mask at the AH
4. Put light mask (from AH) and the Necro Mask into your bank
5. Use a transmutation stone while the items are both at the bank. Stats of the AH mask, appearance of the Necro Mask
6. Delete Char again.
7. Log in with your main, take the Mask wich is now account bound instead of soul bound because you transmutated at the bank.

You’re welcome

Madame Le Blanc at her finest!

Full Bersi set and boss set She’s my main <3

Xyonon.3987:

25 Stacks are just not enough for bleeding. In a team with 5 players where one is a necro and the other not, 25 stacks are allways on. If there would be no necro, there would be 20 stacks. If there would be only the necro – 20 stacks too.
Sure you can say “thats ok, the necro deals more bleeding and will override weaker bleedings” … WTF!? Even if he does 100 bleeding instead of 50 per tic, he REMOVES other stacks wich would be only an increase of 50 damage. It looks nice at your screen but … after all the necro deals weak condition bleeding right now if he isnt alone.

The bleeding stacks are a mayor issue …

And they said 15. October – today is just open world living story patch!
