OK, ok, not to pick on Kain too much, but this cracks me up.

Every. Time. someone jumps in to defend necros they always end up pointing out how they do, in fact, suck by the end of their statement.

Well, they are good in WvW and sPvP, but they are no that good in PvE. Not that big of a deal.

Yep. Just like that

Haha, perhaps his time will come.

As for heroes, I was rooting for the guy who came in and said he was struggling with dungeons and LS content on his lvl 30 zerk ele after playing the game for a week, and was crying “NEEDS NERF” on every subforum.

God that was fun. ANet should have sent him a cape with IPHIW embroidered on the back.

Awww, I was gonna call the troll stupid but he deleted his posts.

Q_Q

Worst day ever.

Why does VGM keep coming back?

Does anyone know?

I just stay by the repair station in AC and let my party take out spider queen. My words of encouragement in party chat are contribution enough.

Easy-peasy.

I’d stay away from Ele/mes if you’re looking for a not-so-complex class. Ele has 20 skills per weapon set to learn, while mes requires almost constant retraiting and I usually end up swapping utilities around every encounter/skip/etc, so it can be a bit of work.

I’d recommend starting with guard. Not as boring as warrior since you have some handy defensive utilities (namely Wall of Reflection and the 50,000 sources of party-wide Aegis). As for aesthetics…grab some dyes and nice skins. My guard doesn’t have a bit of blue on him Utilities on guard are super easy — SYG (or save yourselves)/WoR/Retreat (or purging flames)/Renewed Focus will get you through most anything.

When all is said, my mes is by far the most fun for me in dungeons, but it takes a lot of practice to play one skillfully, and she’s super glassy.

Romo.3709:

It’s like teaching your dog to sit down at the show of a hand for a year, then expect him to lay down at the same command.

Nice analogy xD

(sorry about the evil smiley)

Kain Francois.4328:

4) Necros suck.
Yes and No…. They have some of the highest consistent DPS in the game using MH daggers. Watch a video of DnT’s Brazil running Necromancer, and you will see he is capable of doing 4k(x2)+8k+11k damage with his dagger autoattack. That is INSANE, even by berserker standards! The main problem is, Necromancer lacks cleave and consistent AoE, making them less than ideal for defeating trash mobs. Furthermore, Necromancers lack support options not outperformed by other classes. Necromancer is… flawed. ANET isn’t sure what they want them to do in PvE.

OK, ok, not to pick on Kain too much, but this cracks me up.

Swings and misses.

Please read and understand this link before attempting communications with humans again:

very important information

VideoGamermike.5813:

P.S. And jeesh pulse, “abominations”. Sure fall damage reducing is useless in virtually -every- game, but “abominations” is seriously too harsh. Learn what your words mean before you use them

I’m pretty sure he’s referring to some of the old Arah skips where you could jump straight to the risen Abominations and FDRs would make it easier to do without dying…

Oh kitten. I just broke my own rule.

Don’t feed the Mike

Necro is best for dungeons. With death shroud, you can tank for the longbow rangers ALL DAY

But seriously, it doesn’t really make too big of a difference. Either party is more than welcome in most groups. Warrs are really common, and they do DPS well. I see fewer guards, but they do decent DPS plus you have fun things like reflections and aegis.

I prefer guard (the utilities are more fun IMO), but it’s whatever you like.

Not sure if trolling, but I’ll bite.

First off, what level are you, OP?

Kaiser.8504:

Random question:

Would anyone like my compilation of fake totally legit patch notes? I have the deleted ones inside as well.

Yes please!

Preferably somewhere that can’t be wiped out by random and senseless Acts of Mod.

dlonie.6547:

It’s an open world zerg, mate. Dodging is an exploit.

Shhh, no heals, just AFK now. The zerg will ress you.

Bahahahaha, excellent point

cranked.3812:

Aphrodesiac.2913:

11) Gotta blame ANet.

Well, technically you can blame anet for 1-8, it is their game design after all.

The prophecy comes true! xD

This is a good laugh, and a more or less complete summary of the subforum, lol

NoTrigger.8396:

play wildstar guys!

You mean until they start ignoring it to make something else?

This is the most amazingly well done staff-guardian-ing I’ve ever seen O.o

Like Sublimatio said, orbs were fantastic, as was Lupi’s phase three.

Seriously. Phase three was just…wow. Clerics needs a nerf :-P

Also great, leaving the stack to pull random mobs for no reason (that I know of?) at crusher, and just seeing spirit hammer on your bar…

Lucas.9157:

dlonie.6547:

1 1 1 6 1 1 1

You’re doing it wrong.

It’s an open world zerg, mate. Dodging is an exploit.

DPS thief builds are ideal FGS holders, too.

That’s…just….

Wow. That sucks.

BTW, might wanna make another pass at cleaning the name/swears out of it, otherwise it’ll be gone when a mod gets back in here.

blasts fire field

“STRONK!”

Once you hear it…

Also, “Shake it oof!”

Flissy.4093:

Way to be an kitten.

Anytime

Meow.

Dalanor.5387:

Yeah i messed up the skip, just read the chat … /sigh

Blood Red Arachnid.2493:

Necros offer a few things. Massive bulk, good vulnerability, strong debuffs in general, and decent self buffing abilities. Problem is, most of these traits are useless in organized groups.

Blah blah blah, snarky response mocking above poster, listing standard reasons why necros suck in dungeon party.

Reading is an exploit.

Saint.5647:

Stand back. Watch me push a button. Oooh, maybe I’ll flip a lever.

We had juan guildy who was obsessed with the final boss of CoF p1 yelling “Control it!” at the start of the fight. Now I can’t not hear it, even with the sound off.

Saint.5647:

I bring gifts from the general discussion subforum. A dark land with many foul inhabitants.

That’s actually quite true for most open world content.

1) Check timer
2) WP to world boss
3) Get in stack
4) 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 6 1 1 1 1 1 1 …..
5) afk
6) Profit.
7) Go to 1.

I kittening hate grinding dragonite….IMO Golem is the only world boss that’s fun regardless of zerg size, but only if you melee it.

I. Don’t. Know…

Careful Fenrir, that sort of behavior could stigmatize you.

Lilith Ajit.6173:

@Jerus:

I haven’t found any math hard since my stat therm course

Don’t. Don’t. Don’t.

Just don’t.

Don’t speak those words when I’m playing my game. What kind of monster are you?

BBMouse.6510:

I have all 8 class sitting at each dungeon

That’s a lot of alts O.o

But yeah, that sucks that a no-description group kicked you. But you might want to stick with LFGs that are explicitly casual if you’re going to say “I play how I want” if they ask what weapon you use on your ranger.

lmao “Treat people like people? Sounds like smelly-hippy kitten to me.”

Priceless.

I’ve got one better — A long time back I pugged p4 with a buddy who thought it would be fun to just refer to everyone in the party by their AP.

“2194, you got a wall?”

“6230, stay in the stack”

“12316, pet”

etc etc. Simultaneously horrifying and hilarious xD

Guanglai Kangyi.4318:

“LFG one more for AC P2, on last boss”. It’s because those are the PHIW groups comprised of healer ele, staff guardian, bearbow, and condi GS mesmer with zero DPS not being able to kill the endboss

If they’re in p2, it sounds like one of those staff guards who refuses to run Wall of Reflection because, quote, “I’m a DPS build”.

Yes, I’ve had that happen. With a staff guard. -_-

And well put, Indigo.

The old method still works. Range for p1 with him stuck at his starting point (oh god…pls no), then scatter, range, and res for p2/p3. Slow as can be, but get the job done.

I wouldn’t want to do it everyday, but it’s nostalgic to fight him the old way sometimes ;-)

The hills to the east of tequatil give some nice views of the fight. I often camp out there and watch when I’m stuck on a crap overflow.

Drakent.9605:

according to anet the zerk build is receiving a 10% damage nerf which means having 5 group of zerker after the patch will be doing 50% less damage

I hate how all of my dungeon runs are taking twice as long now :-(

Dat 50% nerf.

Must be MM, will aggro everything…

tomato, tomatoe ;-)

That screenshot of the MM party in CoE at Alpha still cracks me up!

Azrael.4960:

“P1-3, will aggro everything”

Bahahaha, that’s brilliant xD

Good way to make sure you get a group that won’t be too serious and it doesn’t come off kitteny.

Nice! Gave me a chuckle.

Very cool! I’m always amazed by how people think of ways to get past grenth solo.

Purple Miku.7032:

NO LINKSVILLE PLEASE

Quick Lilith! Post something about fashion here so the mods know this post is relevant to dungeons! ;-)

+1 for centaur runes on mesmer. Trait harmonious mantras for an extra charge and you have tons of swiftness for those pesky Arah skips Just use temporal curtain first, since it’s swiftness doesn’t stack well if you already have some.

At least two of your warrs has nourishment/util buff.

Wait. Was it MF food?

Ah, that’s what I thought, just wanted to clear it up.

Anyway —

Good post :-)

Lilith Ajit.6173:

Adorable. I love the fan artists. Here’s the start of my gif I’m having made.

How’s the comic coming?

Wicked Rin.1972:

TA: thief for stealth, guardian for lawn mowing and aegis. Reflects make the wurm in the beginning easier to deal with.

I might be forgetting about a wurm, but do you mean the nightmare vines at the beginning of both paths? Just wanted to point out that their projectiles are, unfortunately, not reflectable :-( I’ve tried. I wish they were.

Alora.6841:

This is the Dungeon Subforum. Which means there is exactly one way to play your class. If you do something else you are a noob.

Not really…though there are good ways and bad ways to play a class, especially when it comes to team play.

I wish we could have these discussions without all the rage and over-defensive passive-aggression.

Glad I run with guildies xD

Not wp’ing out of the boulder puzzle is a whole new level of lazy…

Maybe there should be a “Virgin Eyes” option in the game, that goes all “nun-chaste” for every female outfits.

Or makes them extra-skimpy. It’d depend on player gender.

lol, what’s wrong with SW at Lupi? I’ve never brought my ele into Arah, but I’ve always fantasized about having SW during his p2 AoE…

Is it because the group is trying to reflect?
