Guild Wars 2

Holy kitten.. I didn’t actually read that.

Fastest : warrior and thief

Easiest : jk, who cares. everything is easy on open world.

AFAIK

yes, yes, I got 20 from amber to emerald.

Teutos.8620:

Snip

You’re talking like you worked for anet.

You play revenant, you deserve to lose

Helseth’s reaction is priceless.

true advice. Quit the game. League system and balance is utterly a joke.

As the title suggests

Collero.7963:

Sorry, I guess I should be happy about entering solo then going against 3 FULL PRO LEAGUES TEAMS.

Sum up my games…………

still SW?

thx guys for letting me know that OP is drunk so I dont need to read his post

Decimate defense is necro’s life.

because we don’t want this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0anv1XswfIc to be possible to defeat raid.

Surviving as zerker is always harder than nomad. “let raids be a test of my skill” so do you think dropping enrage time will make raid harder?

If you were good, you wouldn’t need to go to any website to get a good build, you can craft your build by yourself depending your role and situation in the team.

The last balance patch mostly change visual animation only. Is that what Anet calls balance patch to shake the meta?

This isn’t remotely accurate. DH sustained DPS is probably bottom tier. We have a huge burst with feel my wrath/spear/true shot/trap stacks, but after that we’re out of gas for 20-30 seconds. I can put out a level of DPS with Reaper that my DH could only dream about, I mean they’re not even in the same ballpark. Its made DH practically unplayable for me.

Please tell me this is a lie.

brb *grabbing popcorn.

For Zealot aggression dps buff, we need to keep F1 passive. But for Big game hunter dps buff, we need to use F1 which contradicts with zealot aggresion.

Could dev pls make these traits not contradict each other so it’s easier to maintain the dps buff from both traits especially when solo? *pve guard here

Liquid Swords.1740:

Meh I find people misuse the term salty way too often now for what is just normal or even funny comments in game chat. If only Kappa existed in game chat for me.lol

Some examples of just last night. I had 3 dh on my team and 2 on the opposing team. I say in map that this game could use some more guardians. Wow what a mistake that was the rage and hate and salt messages after that. Also running into premade teams in solo queue are fun when you ask if they are too scared to queue ranked. These comments all led to me being a super salty player when in fact I thought they were funny/troll comments.

Ranked is disabled … RIPP

yeah the vampiric one is hard.

Has anyone solo-ed Hero point champ with revenant with zerker gear?
If yes, Which champ have you solo-ed?

Wow…. this guy is so annoying.

Faoiltiarna.4271:

Too bad OP is actually partially right.

You actually understood what they’re trying to say? I’m still trying to figure out what they’re talking about …

+1

Please fix this.. We literally can’t access HoT with this.

I crashed during prologue mission and now I’cant finish it either get into maguuma. Please fix it quick beacuse I’m wasting time at the moment as I can’t get into that map.

Max-melee, hit from behind, and dodge for bosses.
Blind for trash mobs

wow reaper at the top ha3…. didn’t see it coming.

EcoRI.9273:

Well the thing is in Fractals Engineer shines even brighter than Thieves compared to dungeons because most of the content cant be skipped and boss fights tends to last longer so DPS becomes more important.

I mean for the triggering monologue in dungeons… it’s true that thief can move faster and cut the waiting time. but not so much in fractal, that’s why thief needs buff XD

Dungeon is dead anyway… Please buff Thief T.T

Wow the gameplay of staff sounds awful to me.. I like d/d fast hitting. I think I might give up thief for revenant

If you prefer D/D stick with D/D, the damage difference between standard D/D Trickery and Staff Daredevil from a DPS standpoint is around 5%. That’s utterly dwarfed by the handicap of bringing a thief at all over a revenant (which is around a 30% DPS loss).

In the immediate future, if you want to do power DPS stick with the revenant, it’s grossly overpowered and you might as well ride that out as long as possible. Play thief because you want to not because it’s a particularly effective DPS class.

30% dps loss??!!! I cry

Wow the gameplay of staff sounds awful to me.. I like d/d fast hitting. I think I might give up thief for revenant

Auesis.7301:

Yes, Staff > everything else for Power DPS in PvE now.

Remove Trickery for Daredevil – you swap out the 10-15% average damage modifier for a 7%, a 10% and another 10% that’s up a majority of the time (4s after a dodge roll). Keep Bound going periodically for that bonus damage (plus it hits as hard as Cloak and Dagger) and use all your initiative on Weakening Charge (that hits harder than a <25% Heartseeker) or Vault if you need another evade for some reason and even that hits harder than Backstab. Fill it out with an autoattack chain or two (that are faster than Dagger and hit about 10% harder than Sword, becoming our highest DPS autoattack) that applies a good amount of Vulnerability, allowing you to remove Sundering Strikes and take Practised Tolerance for even more Ferocity (moreso in raids than Fractals/Dungeons because 10 people is so easy to get 25 Vuln). And remember that this damage is all AoE on 3-5 targets, opposed to Dagger’s maximum of 2 during autos, 1 most of the time.

So overall, you lose the 3 extra base initiative, and a Steal Daze/initiative gain, plus some group Vigor. In exchange, you get an enormous DPS boost, a huge increase in self-survivability from all the endurance and evade frames, large amounts of Weakness uptime and steady Vulnerability application with good duration.

Need to switch revealed training for panic strike right?

Ha3… that’s why I wanna do it alone XD.

Taku.6352:

Just ask the ele in your party to drop fgs for you and it’s easy.

never thought of that one.

Wow.. of all weapons, I love dagger the most. It hits fast, feels like you deal a lot of damage.

Ok.. Fair enough

Hi, After reading the changes on minion in PvE, I’m interested in exploring this class for pve.

I know mesmer’s dps is tied on how many phantasm/illusions you can keep alive (that’s what fending me off until now). Where is mesmer position in dps rank in a good situation where you can keep most of your phantasm?

Wow I think this change my build. Probably Death magic is worth to be taken for extra power. Now I wanna try chronomancer instead ha3

Ehh, not too sure about it. Yeah, the damage reduction is pretty neat, but the second the boss aggros the minions (and that happens rather frequently, at least for me) they turn into pieces of nothing. Also you have to drop either a better death shroud or support via blood magic for it (though that would probably be acceptable, depending on the situation) + you still have to fight the biggest enemy of minions; their AI.
It surely does make the build more useful, though.

Yeah dropping blood magic for death magic for extra toughness and power. The bonus power is pretty good the last time I tried it. Flesh golem may get aggro but for bone minions and healing minion is not very likely I think.

About AI, It’s perfect for me. They can quickly change target now. In case you don’t know, they have updated the minion AI lately. It’s so good that I do well at high mmr solo queue pvp(esl level players) with MM necro. But I digress.

Aaa… didn’t pay attention. I did 50 ha3….. I’m not a norn T.T.

I still use zerker on necro since no decimate defense. So will it be helpful if I use nomad? ha3

Hi guys, I’m having a hard time to solo this part as necro. I found and follow the guide from Brazil and Subli but sometimes I still make mistake and fail.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZYSySTb4qM

Not sure if I use the correct build, I don’t change anything from the standard pve build
Is there any easier way to do this? via trait or gear maybe?
I’m thinking to make nomad gear for this part ha3.

Yeah it may be a problem if you can’t get 25 vuln at opponents. but i think it won’t be hard for a pug group to cap that if you use focus 4 and RS with rending shroud trait in DPS rotation. You can use sigil of frailty to help you further if that is not enough.

It’s more likely to be a problem if you wanna solo a boss.

Sigmoid answered your question.

Air sigil is just personal preference since it’s good in general situation.
Sigil of frailty will be useless if your group can maintain 25 vuln (with rev or engi, I guess it’s very easy). Sigil of night doesn’t always work. Sigil of strength will be useless if you capped out at 25 might. Anet may release better sigils later on though.

Warhorn 4 for thaumanova

AFAIK, dagger is almost the same as RS AA from BWE3, if not better.
This is the build that I prefer as for now : http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vRAQNAodRjk0QjN2SD20AHOWyFsphwSYKEXF7ijRoAQDYFA-TFSBAB6pPwS1fe4UAo0+DmpE8KlQYp8BgnAQAAEAH9oH9oH9odzbezbezbWKgI2ZB-w
If RS AA turns out to be better, than maybe drop the blood magic for soul reaping to get dhuumfire but I dunno whether it’s worth it.

That’s so weird ha3….

Zenith.7301:

Make sure your group also holds crystals when doing the trick by the ledge or the jade maw can wipe you with its revenge beam at 1% and reset the fight.

if necro has 100% ds and hp, he can facetank it xd

Thx for the tips and trick

How does sigil of energy work on necro? Does becoming DS or RS proc it? what about from DS/RS into normal necro?

Ooo OK.. I though It proc outside of combat. My bad

yeah I mean “kill all colossi” phase not the HP %. My bad ha3

What should I do as necro at jade maw? AA with staff 1 jade maw to death(proc with vamp aura)? or AA with dark field?

When should I hit jade maw with AA? after 50% health, I know it can be bugged if you hit with IB and SoR before 50% health.
