Guild Wars 2

This is what I did, bought the mad king/witch costume and the minis and with the other half i bought keys for the chests.

In the end I learned a very valuable lesson, don’t waste my money on chests again, not touching that again no sir you’ve lost me there.

I have a solid Arah team that runs path 3 everyday after reset (8pm east time). We finish in around 1 hour or so we are looking for some experienced players to fill in some last spots, the main thing is knowing Lupicus fight to take him down in 1shot and know the routes specially to the 2nd boss and the last boss. Leave a reply if interested and I will add you later.

We run the other paths on weekends but because of time and the bugs at ends of dungeon not giving loot we don’t bother much until they are fixed.

Actually finished the story today just for this reward and quite content with it, the staff looks nice for necros we actually get something good, dont care if its rare or not could’ve been white it still would’ve been worth it so thanks for fixing this.

This is great news, I’ll enjoy dungeons even more now

Best feeling is when i kill mesmers with my 80 bugs necro even after they moa and shatter their clones, after they are dead i just lol and let their pm raging began

If you kill her like that will she come out of stealth at one point or ur just trying to outdps her healing?

He did give up pretty quick on simin and wouldnt follow instructions, he was party leader too and got us all into the trouble path 4 is then quit right as we got to simin. I was In that group

Please don’t complain about TA, that dungeon is cakewalk even with pug’s. I went from Arah (first dungeon to explore cause I just love the armor) to Twilight Arbor and what a drastical change that was.

They probably are not, but no official word on this from countless of threads that have been coming up regarding this fight during the last month.

Well good to see the pic mustve been a while

I’d actually like some official confirmation and a hint of an area hopefully. I know we have that quote but after reading through Lindseys history I did not find any message regarding Final Rest. So it could just be a made up quote by someone that may already have it, it may be true who knows.

I just find it weird that it can’t be crafted or discovered through the forge, having such a low chance to drop from a chest and not knowing which one could take a while figuring out what you’re supposed to be doing.

Also pointing out that I have yet to see Final Rest in the trading post, so this probably verifies that it can’t be forged, and if it can’t be crafted like Lindsay supposedly said then farming the worlds largest chests is all we have left until a noble soul comes and sheds some light on us.

It’s exotic (15 char)

Only about 5 I find sort of cool which is a shame because my main wields a staff most of the time. I don’t think any of those but 3 have any animations and they are very mild compared to mainly Greatswords.

Dissapointed by the look of staffs anyway, I’ve seen indie games do much better with the looks of them.

@ LordByron – It’s called Final Rest in PvE. Only clue we have is that it can’t be crafted, but it drops from a LARGE CHEST. No one has confirmed which chest and people that say they have it either pretend, or have given false information on it. At the moment it’s pretty rare. It’s cool looking I admit, but no where as cool as other weapons in the game. Either way this will be my main staff for my necro because nothing else fits him better.

@ aura – take a pic of it ;0

5 yellows, 4 ectos. Black lion salvage kit.

Nothing wrong with speedfarm since doing the dungeon killing all trash rewards nothing? Actually apply a decent reward system for clearing trash and all bosses and i guarantee you there will be less speedfarm.

Brought this up on another thread, should merge it together. Let your voice be heard guys! Dungeons should reward karma, some of us dont want to zerg in pve or wvw we like the strategic team play dungeons give, we should be rewarded with karma also.

To the guy that said we could only do dungeons and get everything if we got karma, we could... But it would actually be much slower than farming DEs where you get gold and items so fast with the horde of mobs they spawn.

Level 80 for over 3 weeks here and still sitting at 60k karma since i got to 80

It’s fine as it is, just Lupics resetting needs to be fixed, that can be pretty frustrating, and fix the party leader living messing up the whole dungeon for the rest of the party.

And I’m sure Simin needs some tweaking too, or make the sparks be more reliable.

Anybody have a link to view this staff in game?:)

If only some cool looking staves had recipes, I really want Final Rest but it sucks that we can’t find a secret recipe for it like these weapons. Devs said Final Rest is only a LARGE CHEST drop, god knows which. If only we could craft it

You can form a party as storymode again, though honestly id wait for the patch that fixes dungeon rewards because the new rewards vendor will be inside he dungeon probably storymode also.

Best 3 are…

1. Final Rest – The Gargolye looks like a Scythe, if the scythe animation still looks good with this is def top. You get this from a LARGE CHEST though it’s not confirmed which one, but it was confirmed by a dev, apparently you can’t forge/craft it either.

2. Pact Staff – From the storymode though it’s not yet available.

3. Deathwish – 2 or 3 skulls on the staff not sure, looks good and matches Arah set, you get this by putting 4 rares or exotics in the forge just like the precursor, of course this has a higher chance to drop and is usually around 9g, price is increasing though.

Other staves to mention are Nightmare Staff, Orrian Staff, Pirate, maybe Corrupted but that one’s blue so.

Bifrost if you like teddy bears and rainbows or you just want to troll.

Same here, it’s pretty random and never happened to me in other story parts but that one, but when it did it was quite frustrating. Worst bugs a game can have is kicking you out for no reason making you lose valuable progress.

Anyway you were going to face Lupicus soon with no close waypoint, Last time I had a good team, all experienced yet they followed this one-track minded person who thought the only way to beat was to pull to waypoint, 2-3 hours wasted afterwards pulling him back all the way to the 2nd unlocked waypoint to find out that he would not shadowstep over a certain part so after THAT happened the leader (which was the one-track minded person) gave up and left the group, at this point we could no longer bring more people in because of that. Very frustrating also.

Random disconnects and lag in this game are some of the worst frustrations for me in this game than any other bugs, and oh lord the anxiety when fighting that mesmer boss that occasionally crashes the party game in Twilight Arbor.

Getting disconnected two times in a 1-2 hour story part right at the end both times was the worst experience I had in this game so far.

Some clues that might help don’t take them for granted though.

- There’s a heart vendor that sells Gargoyle Fossils.
- Gargoyle lore tells that they mysteriously vanished a long time ago, so you don’t see them in GW2 at all since I’ve seen no reports of them.
- They used to be in Kryta, mainly in Ascalon, last seen by a Charr.
- Lore tells they were hunted mainly by Necros (Ironic) because of their skulls.

So I suggest start looking in the Charr Areas, Ascalon or any dungeons around it, shatterer’s chest might drop it but I’ve not seen it confirmed, has anyone seen a player with this weapon yet?

My search continues.

Anyone find more info on this? I believe the answer might be hidden somewhere in the world, most likely ascalon or around the orange part area of Kryta. I’m interested because I believe here lies the answer to finding Final Rest for my Necro. The other hint I have is the gargolye fossils but apparently the staff can’t be crafted?:/ which is weird because most weapons can be crafted.

Anyway any updated info would be nice.

Like the majority of us if you’re a necro you’ll probably go for Deathwish or Final Rest. Though these staves look better than the rest, they are by far not as awesome as some legendaries. Greatsword chars have it made, Twilight, Sunrise, Eternity, Foe’sfire essence, volcanus, ascalon blue swords, etc.

We have rainbows.

I don’t get it, I did all of my story mode with a condition specced necro and never died on any of the missions. I would’ve thought other professions would have had it easier.

Oh look, it’s another cool looking GREATSWORD….

Don’t see why people are against this, I mean 10man dungeons would open up plenty of possibilities and dungeon mechanics that were not available before. It will also boost guild interaction because large group of players will be needed for these dungeons, unlike the 5-man dungeons where most people PuG it, except Arah maybe.

You have to do it again if your story is not up there, I did it and didn’t receive the rewards people talk about, unless I completely missed something.

Our class is kittened up still, but no worries we should see a fix or two (literally) on the next patch.

GW1 Had these it was so useful. Don’t see why GW2 don’t.

When adding such a DPS focused boss as Simin, retraiting in dungeons is totally justified.

Dungeons should give Karma, reward me for doing what I like. The WvW people and the Dynamic Events people got it good because they are rewarded for doing what they like, while the dungeon people are stuck at 60K karma for 2-3 weeks and not getting rewarded Karma for it.

Let your voice be heard! Petition for Karma in dungeons and it just might be added, maybe we’ll get a response regarding this.

Come on you greedy kittens, I’ve seen your necromancer pictures on the sticky thread!

Yeah that’s it!

Where do you get it? I’ve seen plenty of Necros with it but no one will tell and I haven’t seen it in Trading Post, what’s its name? Can it be crafted? Tell me where I need this for my Arah Set to pimp it out.

I’ts the staff with skull heads on top. Also I need Final Rest if you could pm me where you got it.

Add me for any and all Arah Runs! I’m beast at kiting Lupicus and so should you!

The OPs ideas of aboss are underwhelming, but his art is superb.

Lithen I didn’t say I wanted to get a legendary by just farming dungeons, all I’m saying is if dungeons is the most appealing side for me in this game, then I should be rewarded with some Karma also instead of forcing me to find a party and zerg dynamic events/wvw with other players for Karma rewards. I prefer the strategic team play in dungeons much more than DE’s and WvW zerging and I don’t see why dungeons don’t reward Karma already.

Lvl 80 for about 3 weeks here and still stuck at 60k karma, Yes I have 100% World Completion.

Did it with my condition specced necro no problem. L2P.

@ Erasculio – You’re just talking out of your kitten right there. When the class is designed around darkness, black and green looking spells/marks and telling a person that he’s stereotyping the class and that he should step out of the box it makes you look like a fool.

IMO, the only foolishness is in claiming all necromancers should be wearing black and red, with goth hairstyles. I’m sure a lot of people like to be sheep, but we have been given options for a reason. If you do not enjoy an option because it does not fit your narrow stereotype… Your loss, your problem.

You’re still failing to see the point. Take a look at how the class was designed and how it works and what the skills do. The class was stereotyped by the developers themselves because it’s the core design of a necromancer. Sure some people like to be sheep but not the majority. However you still fail to see that the MAJORITY of necromancers here don’t want to wield a rainbowish looking staff

BTW this is brought up for the lack of options on legendary staffs, if there really were more options given this wouldn’t have been brought up. Point is if there are 3 options for Legendary Greatswords and only 1 option for the rest of the weapons I think that’s a little biased. Many staff-wielding necromancer mains like myself would prefer to put their legendary weapon on a multi because the legendary staff weapon for MOST necros is a joke.

Glad to know this is a tough fight, I have a guild with a couple of friends that play another game and moved to gw2. We finally got to do a dungeon this past weekend, specifically this one and did pretty well for the most part, we wiped at this boss a few times but fortunately we are very experienced with raiding and figuring out bosses in games.

After a couple of tries we figured it was best to stay apart from eachother for the most part and run around the boss with ranged attacks, roll away from the poison clouds and the poisons he throws at you will summon spiders, best advice is to bring ranged weapon, aoes for the spiders when they are on you and condition removing for that poison. We also had signet reviving skills, I had signet of undeath and our ele had a glyph that rezzed party members, this is to evade getting to another player and risk being taken down yourself. We rarely went down fighting this way though.

I’m a necromancer that without completely knowing it went Vigil, I made different choices but in the end for some reason I chose Vigil and was stuck with it until the end.

Now I can only get the Vigil light armor which is not that appealing, I’d rather have order or the other one.

Why not let us switch after we are done with the story or make the items account bound I mean we already completed it. I don’t mind if I don’t get the medal in the character selection screen for different routes, but at least let me switch it for the armor.

I made a Guardian and I love how the vigil armor will look on it, but this won’t grant me the other medals, so I have to make two other multis to get them and I’m not exactly an altaholic even though I’m an achiever. I would’ve picked order or the other one to get the medal but if I want to get Vigil for my guardian I have to do the same story path all over again.

Thoughts?

Anybody got some any good links to some cool looking staffs for necros, currently going for nightmare staff but I’m sure theres other better stuff, like that Final Rest could you post a link ;D

Sometimes I do dungeons all day with no pve, though I am getting tokens and some good silver, I’m falling behind on my karma requirement for the legendary weapons, so besides this I will have to PvE and to be honest, I’m not a big fan of doing dynamic events all day I’d rather do dungeons since they involve more strategy and teamwork.

Anet’s vision I believe was so you could do what you wanted and still gain rewards, for example pve/wvw both award karma and gold. I do agree glory should be sPvP only, but I believe dungeons should reward karma as well for players dedicated solely to it to give them a chance to play this way, not enough to make it the best viable option but something close compared to farming Dynamic Events.d

Thoughts?

Don’t think it’s working as intended, why a dps check and only on this boss anyway. How are new players say a closed friend guild going to know that they have to go all dps on this specific encounter? All dungeons before could be cleared without the need of pure dps, support was for the most part a better way to build and encourages teamwork throughout the whole game, then a sudden change of heart on this boss I don’t think so.

This along with the way you have to strategize on leaving one spark out, It just doesn’t seem right.

@ Erasculio – You’re just talking out of your kitten right there. When the class is designed around darkness, black and green looking spells/marks and telling a person that he’s stereotyping the class and that he should step out of the box it makes you look like a fool. The truth is that the minority here will want their necros with such a colorful staff, the reason a lot of the players pick a necro it’s because of the way the class was designed to be, which is a black magic caster, and rarely people will make it to be a colorful joy of a class.

And @ zbrkesbr – Most people that play the game hate Trahearne, so he’s not a good example to follow.

@ Drake – Yeah PUGs are a no-no, but if you don’t have a guild you’re out of luck and good luck finding a guild i’ve been trying to find a guild that does arah runs, it doesnt help that I come home from work close to day reset so everyones pretty much done with their runs, so I have no choice but to run something else.

Finding people to run Arah is very rare, and with PUGs your chance of success are slim, specially with crap DPS bosses like that priest of Dwayna having to respec as full dps to beat her fast because she’ll regen like a mofo.

I’m pretty much done with Arah except on weekends and even then it’s a pain. I run Twilight Arbor and it’s much better, 1 hr runs most of the time can easly get 180 tokens a day, and you can easily find people.
