how many times does gs2 hit if everything hits? shouldn’t it be 14?
I get 12 without quickness and 14 with quickness, tested on large golem in training area. Is it different to each gender and races? I tested on female norn, female human, and male asura. I sometimes get 13 hits without quickness.
It’s so random. My friend sometimes get 15/16 hits on female norn LUL.
Yeah it’s for raiding. Like at cairn, there isnt any reason to bring wyvern. Lynx is default.
atm i guess jungle stalker is pretty good, for might and still have good condi damage. I can swap to it while using heal as one. I just wanna squish more damage LOL, not sure if it’s a good way.
1. Have a good eating mushroom strat (eat close to the center so druid can put spirits easily in the middle, adds pulling is easier also, moving sloth is faster also). Usually each slubling only need to eat 3-4 mushrooms.
2. Have chrono and druid, guard pulls adds from time to time.
3. Chrono distort during shake, this mechanic is the most dangerous that can wipe your group in a split second. Guard can block, Rev can block or glint heal, Ele can use focus invuln or mist form (but this is like the last last resort coz d/f and mistform sucks).
4. DPS hard. I feel if you you cant kill after around 6 mushrooms, you will most likely fail coz of the adds pressure.
I heard there’s a chance of roughly 15% for something ascended to drop from each encounter? Don’t quote me on that though, pretty sure I heard that around wing 1 release.
Life Steal food can add up to 0.7 extra average gotl but seaweed is better in fights like KC where it’s just short burst phases but at Sabetha for example, life steal should be better.
So for SC xera speed kill, what food did the druid use? I guess it’s truffle steak?
So I feel lifesteal food like omnomberry pies helps a lot in generating astral force. I wonder whether it’s better than truffle steak the recommended food.
Has anyone tried to min max power druid dps with seaweed salad also? Maybe it gives better dps which results in better astral force/heal also.
I know this thing is hard to test. So I just wanna get some discussion if you guys have tried to min max power druid build.
Let’s be honest here. Is it possible to reach top 25 by solo queue alone – and maintain it?
By all means, I don’t want anet to delete duo queue but something needs to be done on the skill scoring. When someone at the top is afraid to queue coz there is no one to duo with or when someone needs an alt to enjoy pvp without worrying, do you guys think those are some healthy situations for the game?
The ascended armor that can be obtained in pvp cannot currently be stat swapped. I’m not sure if this is intended or not, but I spent 30g on commander insignias yesterday before realizing that this was the case. Good times.
Oh didnt know about this. My bad then. But you can just buy another one and choose commander. can’t you?
The fact that your previous MMR is factored into the soft reset, which we know to be:
(Previous MMR + 1200) * 0.5 = New MMR. From there on you do your placement matches and then you get to see it.
You have to have amazing MMR before hand.
You have to win every one of your 10 placement matches.
If you’re doing this with another pro player (and since you had pro-level mmr before) you’ll likely be placed in matchups against other pro-level players which means it’ll be much harder.
This is why just do the placement matches at dead NA time to make sure most of esl players are sleeping. Duo q with some of the top pro level players, it will be a breeze.
So placement matches are so important. If you havent done it and you think you are good. Just do placement matches like at the latest day of the season.
To get a better result, do it by q-ing with a good player at dead time like sea or ocx prime time coz most of pro players are sleeping.
I wish I could play at EU. EU has bigger playerbase so you have more options.
Pug is always.. pug. It’s a dice roll. Sometimes you get bad pugs, sometimes you get good pugs. For guild, just go to https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/community/lookingfor. You can notice there are more guild recruitment at EU than NA.
So if there is a druid and a condi ranger in 1 squad: who should bring the sun spirit?
AFAIK, ranger should swap sharpening edge for sun spirit so the druid can bring another glyph. Is this setup better than bringing sun spirit on the druid instead?
Hmmm.. if I remember correctly, with no updraft, usually you can only cast glyph of storm once before the spirit phase. The 12s cd reduction wont make any difference because you won’t use the glyph during the spirit phase (save it to dps gorseval instead).
So it doesn’t really matter whether you take the cd reduction of not, but at least tempest defense will give you dps boost for like 2s at least.
Hi sometimes I clear shards too fast at xera that it spawns again at the spot people tanking her. So is there any tips how to clear it not so fast?
I reckon you need to figure the orb phase timing. It’s twice substitution of platform covering area and then orbs phase, isnt it? or maybe via timer?
Edit: we use the three tanking spots (facing island 1, between island 3 and 4, between island 5 and 6), I think it’s a pretty common strat among pug, at NA at least. we already know which shards to clear and where the tank will go next. The problem is we burst shards to fast sometimes, the tank moves, we are fine for a while but the shards start to respawn covering our tanking spot and we need to burst the shards again. I think we often get this problem at the third tanking spot when our dps is low. Normally when we go back to center, it’s safe to start burst shards at first and second stacking spot.
Sorry for the lack of clarity of the tanking strat we use, I hope the explanation is clear enough.
Did I say “Rev dps is in same boat as DH”? Another triggered forum warrior appeared out of the blue. Sigh.. I’m out, Too much effort to argue with a random person on internet.
You can just ask your ele friend to do dps rotation against you on medium golem. On medium golem, the reported dps difference is 2k in real raid situation. but rev bring boon (precious protection), great cc, and assassin presence that can make up for that 2k dps.
On large hitbox, ele still wins by far though.
IMO, rev is in the same position as guard. Still a good alternative of ele, contributing in boons and great cc. Rev protection is easier to apply compared to guard and can cover more I think.
The comp I would do is 1 mesmer 1 druid 1 warrior 1 ele 1ele/rev/guard in each mirror comp
. I feel I get more ascended from fractals.
