Guild Wars 2

Burtnik.5218:

Fun fact is that shield was fine before but they nerfed the kitten out of it making it not so viable. Warrior shield is superior to the crap we have atm. That said your suggestions are out of this world, doesnt matter if pvp or pve

what is the changes?

Hi, I’m on my endeavor to craft astralaria. I stumbled upon old thread that says I need 50 charged quartz crystal. but I checked on the wiki https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Quartz_Vial and it says I only need 5. Which one is true?

Could someone tell me which time-gated material for astralaria? from what I notice is 12 days book collection, deldrimor, spiritwood, and charged quartz crystal. Is there anything else?

I actually wish sword offhand be superior in every game mode PvE and PvP ha3 because dual wielding sword looks so cool.. and I can show dual bolt in hands XD

honestly, that sounds so OP. even for PvE… I want it to be strong, but not OP ha3

at 50 energy exactly, does equilibrium proc heal or damage? or none XD?

Cruel Repercussion: When one of your attacks is negated, your next attack will deal bonus damage.

Could anyone tell me what it means by negated? what can be considered as negated? Block blind?

Jalis vengeful hammer is automatically deactivated when it hits a wall or other environment obstacle. I’m not sure whether it’s intended or not but it’s annoying and seems buggy to me. Pls fix it or change the behavior like AOE around user maybe

dang….. I’ve never got enough of spirit shards. 5000 hours of gameplay. Crafted so many legendaries to sell them. I wish I had collected a lot before the change from skill points

Hi, can anyone help me to understand why the meta build uses shield over sword offhand? sword doesn’t root you on place, it seems to me a better choice. because of the heal?

Dear Anet, I would like to suggest to make spirit shards sellable. I know many people have more than they can imagine what to do with them.

I’m willing to pay to get spirit shards. I didn’t farm enough spirit shards before it was changed from skill points and I’m tired of farming spirit shards. Or better, make leveling-up give players spirit shards.

Help me I’m not sure which one to get. Right now, I’m more inclined to frostfang because Astralaria doesn’t have draw animation on offhand.

Does Frostfang has animation on vengeful hammer?

axe3 should be definitely a blast finisher

It’s not even great for PvE.

Dear Anet, could you please give necro some ways to provide reliable blast Finisher(not like putrid mark that needs to be triggered by enemies) via weapon skill?

Maybe on Axe so that weapon can see some use. This will be useful for blasting might and stealth for PvE/

The only thing that I want is a specialization to make necro shines in PvE

Gosh after reading this, I feel so much depressed by the state of necro. Does anyone feel necro is the least polished class?

If only necro could bring something unique for pve like dps buff aura/skill instead of the stupid vampiric aura. Necro has been bad for pve for a long time. I wish I could trade the sustain of necro for dps buff.

Hi guys,

so rojan the penitent doesn’t want to sell icy runestones to me. Is it only available after the jormag?

Meanwhile, several fractal weapon don’t even have white trail. Maybe someone forgot to code the trail and just ignore it indefinately.

Hi, has anyone tested the dps output of these two runes? I’m not sure which one to use of DPS raid especially.

of course it’s an option, but then you may want to use other utility skills instead of being locked on arcane wave during the fight.

I do what I want!!!

People do solo dungeon-record with ele all the time. You can summon earth golem for tanking enemies. It’s not as good as necro’s minion to the degree that necro can solo hard hero points but earth golem is good enough to solo dungeons and fractals.

LOL you just started playing. One month for me is only for leveling when I first started. I came to the WvW and get one-shotted by a thief because I was running cluelessly with green equipments. To me, you just sound like ignorant and ungrateful whining person.

and “turret Engineer”, I thought they have gone extinct. Do you even play the game ? Of course you feel overwhelmed because you are literally a noob that just started or maybe I just don’t understand what your problem is.

The only thing I disagree is the inconsistency of the GMs. I wanna get my refund as well but I can also accept if they won’t refund mine. But I’m so mad now knowing some people can get refund and some can’t.

Honestly I think Car trash deserves a ban for life from the competitive gw2 scene, not only for this Season (I mean every members).

They’re habituals, it’s not the first time they do kitten like that.

These kids don’t deserve to have a chance to gain money with this game.

Wait a sec, are you telling they have done this infringement also before this?

Force>Accuracy, so substitute the accuracy with night.

Sigil of night only works at night time, the problem is several dungeons and fractals are at day time. D/WH uses force and air, Staff uses force and accuracy in general.

mysticsicness.7598:

Most players use renewal/x. Renewal is a guaranteed heal for you and allies in a small radius around you when you swap attunements. Leeching is a great heal and does equivalent damage, but remember it can miss and be wasted. Transference would be a solid choice over leeching, but I would not take out renewal.

Thx for the info. I thought it was leeching/x

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/ghastly-grinning-shield-skin/first

Hi, what sigil works the best for you as healbot pvp? I know leeching is good. what about the other? can’t decide between renewal vs transference. do they have huge difference?

are you joking? ha3

Oh …. thx

Hi what item is this? (SOLVED)

why not just use aura tempest build but with staff

Lalainnia.3598:

How is scepter in air and fire vs a non moving boss vs dagger and staff?

Scepter/WH → “Its comparable to d/wh with perma alacrity yes, but without you suffer a lot and d/wh becomes better. On big hitboxes d/wh and s/wh are equal but there you would play Staff anyway.” quote from fennec.

I have to agree. This is some mystical weird kitten ha3….

Probably RNG didn’t favor you during your test. Maybe try it again? Ping is reasonable reason too like Zenith said, altough I doubt that’s the case since you can reproduce the similar dps number with D/WH

Hello, What server is this? NA right?

kasmeer staff plss

Go back to your grinding games

Hi, So if I miss wintersday, Can I make winter presence now?

who is the creature in the gif? so scary

https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/4ft01q/qt_dps_benchmarkstests_for_all_classes/

I think staff still pulls ahead considering alacrity will give more lava font. I think D/WH will fall behind when we consider alacrity since most of the damage comes from AA.

my conclusion so far : Unless the enemy moves a lot, staff>D/WH
staff has easier rotation, on par with D/WH on medium hitbox but superior on large hitbox.

“Theoretically even our character stats you gain when having a level up should be affected by RNG”. – this is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read here.

Dinosaurs.8674:

It depends on the conditions you are looking at.

Most people asking this question assume basically a single stationary target where you can repeat your rotation perfectly. In this situation, D/W is better DPS than staff. In fact, it is the best DPS in the entire game.

However, staff is better under other conditions. Against large hitboxes, staff has better DPS because Meteor Shower goes insane and hits with all or most of its damage instances. At range staff is also obviously better. Finally, it is possible (and not even uncommon) that multiple enemies can be spread out in such a way that they can be easily hit by lava font and meteor shower but not burning speed and/or wildfire.

If I remember right from when I tested in the past, D/W Fresh Air is maybe 10-15% better than staff against “normal” hitboxes, and staff is 15-20% better than that against larger hitboxes. (These are just off the top of my head estimates, don’t take them as fact lol.)

thx for the thorough answer. thx all 2

So has anyone checked the dps difference?

wow… some of them costed like 1k gold

no they are dead

I have 10 accounts now. so 20g per day. 600 per month..

~Not bad at all
Now I wonder whether I should do dungeons or daily

I actually want dagger to be more meta for pve dps. Staff to me is a support weapon. But they were on par before patch, now there is more reason to use staff.

I wonder how much the fireball dps increase will contribute to the overall dps though. 17% alone on AA is really huge.
