You know how there’s a tab that you can check/uncheck to summon/dismiss a mini? what if at lvl 80 you get two tabs? One mini on your left side, and the other one on the right side! Maaaaaaayyyybe 4th birthday gift? you get an “extra miniature slot, ability to summon an extra mini” as a present
Anyone second this? Imagine someone with a mini kasmeer and mini marjory, an Asura with a mini Professor Mew and a mini PK 632Z or a charr with mini frostbite and mini devourer:)
It’s on Tuesday bro! be ready!
What is your stat layout? It depends entirely on that. If you’re running Viper’s for instance I would suggest you stick with berserker. If you’re intentionally limiting yourself to poison for some reason then Rune of Thorns (but that probably is not BiS) and if you’re running a cheaper high crit (Rampager? Sinister?) build then Krait where you can’t sustain high amounts of burning then Krait simply because bleed applications with the rotation are pretty simple to get and stacking high is very easy.
But it really depends on your condition duration without those runes. Keep in mind that poison, unlike bleeding and burning, gets no trait help so while you get +33% to both bleeding and burning by just taking a trait and actually just choosing the Firearms trait line automatically gives you the bleeding. If you’re choosing Thorns AND Viper’s you’re gimping yourself.
I have mostly the Morbach armor set which uses the Dire prefix (Condition damage, precision and toughness)
I thought Dire was Condition / Toughness / Vitality. I believe you just described Rabid. Doesn’t matter, it’s just a name, so setting that aside because you are not running Viper’s (expertise) your best bet would definitely be to take Rune of Thorns off the table. For long engagements rune of the Krait, if you are going the bleed route, would do you well. 4 Nightmare + 2 Trapper would do fine too as it will boost all of your condition durations. If you were taking shorter engagements, say open world, you should stick to what you currently have which is rune of the Berserker.
So to sum up don’t bother with Thorns, you can play with Krait if you want, and Berserker will help end things the fastest versus Krait which is best for longer engagements. Because of the cost though it’s not really feasible to switch between Krait and Berserker so I’d recommend you stick with Berserker since the 7% increase in condition damage works for all of your conditions giving you a stronger base to work from if you want to incorporate all of them into your rotation.
Thank you, I’ll stick with berserker then
What about pocket raptors? they can be fun to kill……until you realize that if you try to outrun they are probably the only enemy that can kill you XD

I am building my engie to be condition damage. I have berserker , while checking conditions runes on the wiki I came across two possible “substitutes”. i am unsure if I should change the runes or keep the berserker ones. Which one would you guys recommend?
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Superior_Rune_of_the_Berserker
The one I have, good condition buff all around imo.
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Superior_Rune_of_Thorns
I find this one interesting due to poison dart valley, fumigate, poison gas shell and poison grenade

Curious about the bleeding duration and how much it would benefit me
Sorry Penguin, but with the most recent sale I am seriously thinking that Evon could be a white mantle supporter
NOTE: this is technically from the in-universe/in character perspective, no real hate here. Also my knowledge on the white mantle is limited, so I’m actually asking people to enlighten me if im missing any details
I can see why people voted for Ellen Kiel. In the past weeks Evon has made some really questionable decisions. First he sells a weapon set with no refund…..and now he promotes the white mantle? why? as far as I can tell the white mantle have caused nothing but trouble and merchandising them seems like a terrible idea for a business man…charr. Also why would we want to infiltrate the white mantle (that’ the outfit’s selling tag) when we storm their fortress and defeat their bandits?
Yay! Glide-r-Tron confirmed! http://imgur.com/a/FTada

Thank you Anet! Now I shall wait for the mini
It is what it is. McLeod is apparently, not considered a boss by raid standards. My guess? Honestly the very first part (as many have pointed out and since the OP was having trouble with the other bosses) is designed for people who don’t raid/are afraid of raiding. The guy doesn’t even have a timer.
I just received my very first 3rd birthday gift from my ranger and……I appreciate it, but it reminded that I carelessly erased my very engie all those years ago. I can wait and dont mind getting duplicate gifts (so far I just toss out the minis queen jennah)……but I also think that it would be nice if our birthday was by account and not by character, I am technically almost (in-game duh) 4 years old now :/
This shows how much respect and maturity Anet has towards their customers. You dun good Anet, you dun good.
no no NO! I’m sorry but I guess I COULD understand your other makeXgreat2016 threads, but this one? You are literally demanding to change minis, minis have always been purely cosmetic and nothing more, so the “again” is redundant. Do I want more? All I wish Anet could is fix the bug where minis sometimes uncheck (this bug has been generous with me btw) and make minis almost as fast as a ranger pet/minion.
And you idea of pokemon would be the same as WoW, really dumb but in a way entertaining. Also if Anet were to implement the idea, that would make gemstore minis pay2win. “Ricky has a mini angry gift! no fair! I want it!”
I tried to make my Asura as chubby as he can XD
Here’s the latest Dev post (from this week) about the issue:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/Dev-quotes-from-Reddit/page/6#post6217693
Good luck.
that post about the recap…..it genuinely saddens me
I am sad. This is something that personally made me ponder for a bit, and just accept it, even if I don’t want to. LW S1 was special to me, granted I did not get to play it all and really hope to see it return.
My sadness is not when S1 will return (if ever), but that Bobby Stein confirmed on Reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/4palmf/living_world_season_2/) that they have no plans to extend the recap even though its incomplete…….why? I know that they want to cover the Scarlet/Mordy arc, but didnt a certain Captain’s Council member and former Consortium golem helped us defeat Scarlet? How will new players know who they, the Consortium and Canach are? The voting of Ellen Kiel vs. Evon Gnashblade was (and still is) unique because we the players directly participated, isnt that important?
It just baffles me why Aet would not want to recap more of the important stories that happened in S1 and only focus on one.
No no, patron system will not work, if you want to support anet buy gems, why would a company that’s been active for 10 years suddenly get a patreon/Kickstarter/whatever other money donation account?, and finally you as the 10th guy to suggest this and the answers will always be “no no no no no!”
Also he could work as a Merc or “Hero”. Add him to the party to supply buffs or CC, healing even. It would be real handy. He could take the moniker of "kitten-o-Tron.
I was actually gonna put in the extremely unlikely items an infinite revive orb "replica heal-o-tron that says “Dont-worry. I-am-a-certified-medic” or “replica-heal-o-tron-to-the-rescue!” buuuuuut if Anet were to do that then that item would essentially be pay2win, then that category is a joke (hence the name extremely unlikely…….would be surprise if we get something though XD)
And as silly as your idea is, I would love to have a regular golem assistant/o-tron model following me and aiding in battle
yeah…..but it would’ve been nice to at least get 3 rings like I always do, I think this is my worst RNG ever XD
You WANT rings? Why?
No no, I could care less about rings, I already have all the rings I need, the extra ones are always salvaged. But every time I open 12-15 fractal chest I get 3 rings, this time I only got one XD
Something tells me you are not enjoying the game in 2016…..what could it be?
yeah…..but it would’ve been nice to at least get 3 rings like I always do, I think this is my worst RNG ever XD
I do my daily fractals every day, 4 days ago I opened a black lion chest and got a permanent bank access (felt like a super dummy for not selling it but now I find it really useful) I was happy, I felt lucky, I opened my 12 fractal chests and got around 30 junk items, 1 asc weapon chest, and 2 armor chests. Fast forward to today………..I only got 6 junk item, 1 asc ring, and 4 potions. Is fractal loot that inconsistent?
With the summer update coming in the future I thought that its the perfect time to talk about one of GW2 popular character Job-o-tron/hobo-tron/ho-ho-tron/heal-o-tron/hero-tron (hopefully this will be his last name).
Hero-tron was originally supposed to be a minor character but because of his popularity he gained an arc of its own throughout Season 1 of the living story, I would say he is as popular as Canach (now that I think about it their stories share many similarities).
Sadly Hobo-tron was not featured in Season 2 (though he had small scene in destroyed LA at the release of the last chapter) but was instead shown through merchandising (replica job-o-tron backpack and job-r-tron gathering tools). Who knows where we might see this golem end up in the future. Personally he is one of my fav characters (I genuinely could argue why he is one of the “best” characters) and really hope to see him return.
While talking to a friend about merchandising Heal-o-tron as a joke he told me “that would be a pretty neat idea”. Obviously Hero-tron’s uniqueness in his items is that they talk or make sounds (backpack and gathering tools talk and mini Ho-ho-tron has his bell sound) I personally dont mind the chatter, but I can see the annoyance.
So if Anet plans on merchandising job-tron….welp here some ideas/suggestions that I came up with:
items that are extremely likely to be sold
*Mini, mini job-o-tron/hero-tron (no quotes, I dont there is a single mini that utters actual dialogue…..and honestly dont want to, if anything let the mini o-tron do typing animation from time to time)
*Glider, Gilde-r-tron. (already suggested on other threads and people have a pretty good idea on quotes, post them if you want)
items that could be sold
*Helm skin, Hat-r-tron. (thought of this and “easy” route would be a fuzzy hat, but “my vision” saw the upper part of o-Tron’s body with his “arms” included OR just the body fully covering the players face XD)
*Mail Carrier, Mail-r-tron. (the one quote I can think is “Mail-delivered”)
finally unlikely items
*job-o-tron weapon set. (Yuri Lowenthai makes the weapon sound effect XD)
*Travel toy, ride-r-tron. (plz Anet?)
(edited by eduardo.1436)
I honestly understand how you feel, but think about it. Let’s say they make the harvesting tools account bound. Many people would be happy and there would be no reason to buy more. Anet needs to make money. Then again people can also buy shared inventory slots and use them on the harvesting tools
Actually….what you all are saying makes a lot of sense now. I can imagine Evon one day saying things like “thanks to a loyal informant I was to gather {insert information here} and go one step ahead and sell it to you, for a limited offer you ca now get your very own {insert new item here}”
I’ve been thinking and what if we got it all wrong? what if these current events have no tie to the LS at all? Sure the first event ties heavily to Mordy’s death…….but the white mantle/bandits/posted messages are tied heavily to the raid……..whom has its on separate story from the Living world. As for the priory/consortium/inquest what if that is it own little thing?
Note: im 99% sure these events HAVE to be tied to the LS S3 and will be a huge disappointment if this post turns out to be true
no thank you. Dont craft at all so there is little chance for me to get a legendary, being doing fractals every day since the newest patch and always always hope to get asc weapon. Would be disheartening to know legendary have extra power
In this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoElPeNJwhc) Evon Gnashblade uses Hero-Tron to spy on the Captain’s Council…..but what could Evon learn from the Council that could benefit him? All I know is that he lost an election fair and square. Am I missing something?
Interview from E3:
- No Living Story till the end of Summer (maybe).
- 2-3 months between Chapters.
- PvP content interrupts Living World content.
S. Also only one new fractal this year.
1….b-but MO said LW S3 was going to start on the Summer update
2…..no….
3 no no NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
S. We kinda knew this already, still pretty disappointing
I am frustrated, angry, disappointed. How in the blue blazes does PVP CONTENT interrupt PVE?! All of this was revealed a few minutes ago through french website. I was like “Dont worry ed, its probably a mis-translation or something” but noooooooooooe, I’m a dummy for believing that apparently. Anet you better prove me wrong that LW S3 wont be a disappointment. MMOinks kept saying that they will release episodes every 2-3 months I made a post about it, everyone was like “dont worry he is wrong or confusing it with something” well APPARENTLY he was right all along eh?! I want quality and QUANTITY. I’m sorry but you had what? more than 6 months to work on this and a team of 5 people deliver more content in LESS TIME that only 10% of the playerbase plays?! The cancellation of legendary weapons meant nothing. We still gonna have a content drought. I am very very very angry and dissapointed.
(edited by eduardo.1436)
I’m sorry but if the translations are true………..i am VERY wary. Basically we’ll get a new episode every quarterly update? Remember they said quality not quantity. How long is the season? 4 episodes? And not to dish out on pvp players (as I don’t pvp) but I don’t care about pvp and esports.
I am sorry Penguin. As much as I would like to see Evon and Kiel (and Hero-Tron) again I dont think an election would be a good idea (at least for now) specifically because of three reasons:
1. The last time these two did anything was in S1 and had a small scene at the end of Season 2 and when LA was rebuilt.
2. If the current events and blogpost from the begginings of 2016 are a hint then the LS will deal with the egg, taimi and her findings in rata novus, rytlock’s return, canach and the shining blade, Zojja and Logan’s status, the new ley line energy, and potential white mantle . There’s no mention of the recurring characters from S1, however, Evon is aware of the ley line magic (another reason why he’s the best) and his hidden asura gate has tons of it, and in the most recent current events LA is mentioned AND if there is a war on kryta we can all bet LA will be involved.
3. With point 2 being said, if these characters are to be involved I dont think there would be time for an election. If the white mantle returns, LA needs to be ready. We need everyone’s favorite merchant to supply every soldier and hero with the best weaponry. We need a certain secret organization to make a surprise aid, we need the lionguard ready (now with a brave little golem who has defensive abilities), and we need to see the newest member of the Captain’s Council be competent, if she screws up then…yeah we can go for a re-election in S4 :p
Edit:also….no way I would pay gems to show my support, that will enrage all of us.

We need a bow tie shoulder armor, bow ties are cool.
+1 I would like that, besides it wont harm anyone
With all the posts, I’m sure we will get a “easy raid mode”
im no raider but even i thought “uh-oh” when there was no mention of it. Seriously these guys have been doing this hardcore content and anet doesnt say anything? Tsk tsk bad move
A lackluster story with lackluster choices, just like HoT.
The story is not lackluster at all, the problem of HoT story is not about quality, the problem of HoT story is that it lacks quantity leading to rushed plot on later parts. Quality wise HoT story exceed with flying colors with amazing mechanics, soundtrack and voice acting. All they need to do is increase quantity.
Maybe lackluster was a wrong choice of word (haha choice )
but in all seriousness Anet said there were going to be choices that had impact just like PS…….and we only got 2 that didnt affect the story in any way and let’s be honest: I am not the only one that despised the whole dream deus ex machina (the concept is fine…..but the execution? we go from “we need to find its weakness” to “let’s enter his mind” thing)
We all know that we are getting LW S3 (and with that new locations) on this update. But is that all we are getting? Do you guys think/hope we might get something else? Some ideas: the new fractal, a new summer festival, a miniature quest, new Mastery track.
A lackluster story with lackluster choices, just like HoT.
With the very 1st gw2 raid practically done…..what’s the team gonna do now? will they help the fractal team? the living world team?………………make new dungeons?
edit: obviously we all know they will work on raid 2…..but isn’t that a bit….soonish?
(edited by eduardo.1436)
Just make it a travel toy, travel toy=closest thing will ever get to mounts
I dont see how they would work as 10 man raids. Marionette, Breachmaker, and the 3 bosses in lion arch would be 25 man raid content tbh.
To be completely honest my original post was gonna be “how about 50 man instanced content?”…..but I(and thought others would think the same) thought that was too silly or that Anet will never do that :/
What if ArenaNet releases the big events from Season 1 raids? events like the battle for LA or the breachmaker come to mind
OMG reading this I was like “hmmmm this is VERY similar to gaming with GS” and here you are XD
guys guys! Bobby simply stated some tidbits about raid lore. No need to start an uproar about who plays raids and who doesn’t. Geez
Raid wing 3 just further confirms that the white mantle are going to be one of the main focuses for living story 3; the old enemies that were present in gw1. And since this is the last wing to the entire raid we should be seeing legendary armor finally being introduced into the game soon, as well as living story 3. Maybe in july.
I got all that, just from this small teaser. And the fact that most of you don’t know that just means that whether you hate it or not; you are all missing out.
How do you know all that from an 8 second clip? As far as I know the raid and LS are completely separate. And believe me I wish I could raid. But sadly I don’t. My only source to get Asc armor is fractals and right now im working up my AR lvl so I can tier 4.
Bunch of people demanded these items and now most of us have them. Bunny ears, wizard’kitten, and aviator’s sunglasses. But….there is ONE item Anet needs to release. Anet……Boxing gloves please please PLEASE!
regards Eduardo.1436
This is my honest opinion: Are you guys ok? I know the next raid wing is in a week but…….why release it in 3 different languages and not a single word is said? even worst its literally 8 seconds of…….teaser? I’m no raider but now I am seriously worried about the new trailer for LW S3 when it comes out. A trailer is to get you hyped, that guy exploding tells me nothing.
It’s been answered a hundred times – The game engine won’t allow it.
Not being rude, this an honest question. What do you mean the game engine won’t allow it? the guy is basically asking that instead of another inanimate travel toy we get an animal of some sorts. Heck why not release a beetle travel toy? The frogs seem to enjoy it. Just need some new sitting positions or why not re-use some from other existing toys such as the broom and the asura, that one would fit.
I believe this a small test to see if Anet will make more travel toys. I personally would be glad to have more. I was just wondering how many ppl have bought the travel toy to get an idea of how it was received by the community. Did you buy it? was it worth it?
My obvious answers are yes and totally worth it.
