Guild Wars 2

DPS check isn’t a problem, the players should not have problems or practice to not have problems using only DPS gear.(without some survival gear/traits)

Berserk Meta is dead, Glass Canon isn’t, arenaNet achieved get condition in the meta.

Jiggawattz.2697:

It is not that, nothing is better on condi’s

Cond is required on Vale Guardian, Cond is better on Abomination on Arah P2, Cond has more overall DPS on fights over 30 seconds, and more.

NovaanVerdiano.6174:

Also allowing conditions on other structures like the Thermal Core would be really nice.

True

Juanpierre.8913:

But my fellow guildees who run fractals are telling me zerker builds are out in HoT

He is 100% wrong

Berserker/Assassins is still completely fine, everyone who’s telling you otherwise just… well, sucks.

True

Some classes are currently better on Sinister/Viper, Some classes are currently better on Berserker/Assassins, Some classes are currently good on both.

Before FoTm fix Patch on Fractals 50+ “Meta” was condition only, after the fix wtver, feel free to choose.

Juanpierre.8913:

This is based on survivability and the crit-to-boon mechanics in 41+. They are also telling me that condi is better than crit in general.

For crit-to-boon mechanics you can just ignore, or get one mesmer with Phantasmal Disenchanter.

And NO, you dont need Carrion, Rabid or Carrion for any Content (only maybe tanking on the raid), they dont have more DPS than Sinister/Viper, for fractals and almost any content look for Sinister/Viper builds.

Some stuff will be better on cond, some stuff will be better on power, thats ok

Not sure if after winter patch this got worst/did change, but this used to happen when people tryed to get the hammer too fast after the boss drops.

(A.K.A. Spamming F where the boss is before it drops the hammer)

well IF thats true, time to farm FoTm 99, but i believe they increased the daily ones

“Chests that spawn from completing Fractal Dungeons have had their chances to drop containers of ascended gear increased, with major improvements at higher tiers of difficulty.”

The only chests that spawn from completing Fractal Dungeons currently are the dailys.

Gunsnroll.2657:

Had it in different runs.

me too

THE HYPE IS REAL

Cond Engi perfect rotation is almost impossible, Pratical Cond Engi having your high damage skills on cooldown and auto-atacking with grenade kit meanwhile is really easy after getting used with the cooldowns, after lightning go near boss Grenade 2 and 3, blowtorch and napalm and go to next lightning.

I don’t know cond Necro Enough, but i believe Cond Engi has more party-utility than necro overall on seekers, Healing and etc

How cond Warriors take care of seekers management? o.o

I require ascended from pugs, i don’t require all people on ascended with guildies, 99% of people will do that.

If i am getting a pug (which i learned to always expect the worst, and i believe everybody does that) i will at least look 4 the best available gear.

Yes you are not be moving the boss fast enough.

The BreakBar happens every 2 group lits on every phase.

3rd phase:
Ground stay lit for 15 seconds, all the ground unlit for 5 seconds than repeat.

Pull him always after 12 seconds after the ground get lit (YES i keep looking the clock on the screen corner the full fight)

5rd phase:
Ground stay lit for 10 seconds, all the ground unlit for 5 seconds than repeat.

Pull him after 7 seconds after the ground get lit than 5 seconds alternately (because of the BreakBar)

Juclesia Elcritian.8410:

No, an infused backpack has 2 slots. Not 3. The only thing with 3 slots is an Attuned Infused Ring.

+1

Lets fix the bugs? na, lets just forget dungeons.

Not sure ArenaNet knows, but if they don’t remove dungeons from the game, they still need/should fix the bugs……

Did you start with the NPC on the FoTM lobby to start the collection?

They don’t care about dungeons anymore, they will not spend even 1 minute of a developer on dungeons anymore, unless is breaking something else on the game.

Farm SilverWastes

People need to use constructive criticism instead of trashTalk someone, thats something i learned from a old guild leader that did trashtalk me all the time.

Everybody in the game can do anything, even solo lupi with one finger, the difference from “Elite/Hardcore” players to casual players usually is time available for practicing, and how easy/fast they learn something, something that is easy for someone may take more practice for other people.

Instead of

1# – “YOU DID PULL TOO LATE SCRUB”

2# – “YOU DID NOT HEAL ME ENOUGH”

3# “LEARN TO DODGE” “ITS YOUR FAULT”

Try to:
1# -
Don’t you think you pulled too late?
What you think you can do for this not happening again?
Any better ideias team?
2# -
What did damage you?
There is something you can do to avoid some of this damage?
When how i can heal you?
3# -
Lets practice more and we will beat it.

talk with everybody and try to figure out a way to solve the problem, example:
Maybe if i position myself this way i can get more heals.
Maybe if i use this skill earlier i can heal better.
maybe if i watch a clock i can kite the boss better.
Sorry, my fault, missed this dodge, i will focus more next time.
If they just ignore constructive criticism and refuse to talk about, kick them from the party, they have nothing to offer to the group as a whole.

Work out as a team to improve, everybody helping everybody to improve, be open minded for critics and ideias, listen and think about, try new stuff out

Mesmer Distortion and Thief

Dredge fractal without guns variant can be duo’d.

How i believe it shoould be/ i believe it is/ 99.999% sure/we should test (but i am lazy)

“MAXIMUM TARGETS” = SKILL MAXIMUM TARGETS
1-> The skills determine all people in range(skills like Signet of inspiration)/in the target Range(skills like TimeWarp)
(lets name those as “APPLICABLE”)

2-> IF there are more “APPLICABLE” than the “MAXIMUM TARGETS” THAN
go to 3
IF NOT, APPLY TO ALL THEM END

3 -> IF subgroup “APPLICABLE” number people is bigger or equal to “MAXIMUM TARGETS” THAN
apply to “MAXIMUM TARGETS” random people between those people END
IF NOT Apply to those "subgroup "APPLICABLE"", subtract the number from the “MAXIMUM TARGETS” and go to 4

4-> Randomly apply “MAXIMUM TARGETS” left on the “APPLICABLE” left players, IF there are still targets left, apply to clones/phantasms/pets/spirits ETC if targets left, you just lose some potential on the skill.

Can any Dev tell if my statement is right or wrong please?

Please Dev put a Rift near Sabetha checkpoint so we don’t need to relog for repairing gear? <3

I would love you forever.

Btw awesome raids! Hope next wings/Raids are exactly as this first wing but with new mechanics!!!!

Revenant, PS Berserker for POWER

Engineer for CONDITION

Are other classes viable? yes! exactly as power Ranger was viable before the new trait system, viable but you will be discriminated on LFG.

on every game, raid is hard content because any mistake equals failure, raids use human mistake to be difficult/challenging.

They restrict your gear options to have some challenge on surviving, or 10 Nomad party would be the way to go, 100% sure success after 4 hours of AFK auto attacking.

Try logging in your GW1 account and get inside the HoM, than logging in GW2 again.

Atharian.7092:

But it is falsely difficult. Vale Guardian lightning circle can spawn even outside the zone he is in, and it can spawn on the other side of the map where no one can reach it in time. I’ve killed the guy and the only “difficult” part of it was the green circle RNG.

It is not RNG, green circle appears with specific time interval, and the platforms change from lit→non-lit in a specific period.

On phase 3 →
The ground stay lit by 15 seconds, 5 seconds all ground is non-lit
There is one CC every 2 lit grounds.

SO on phase 3, ask your tank alternately pull him to the next section after 13 seconds with ground lit, than after 10 seconds with ground lit and GG (Yes i tank VG and i keep eye on the time the full fight)

On phase 5 →
The ground stay lit by 10 seconds, 5 seconds all ground is non-lit
There is one CC every 2 lit grounds.

SO on phase 5, ask your tank alternately pull him to the next section after 7 seconds with ground lit, than after 5 seconds with ground lit and GG

This is how your tank do perfectly the job to the green lightning appear on the right section always, if the party don’t CCs than you need better comp/players

yes, but repeated account bound mini is 100% useless

True, you should never get repeated minis, i hope ArenaNet change this.

yes, but for example, if i remember right:

SpreadSheet cond Engineer DPS is 30k?
Cond Berserker is 20K?
Cond Ranger is 20K?

In practice the diference is lower, but we can expect that usually Engineer will have more DPS. (with exceptions because of the CondBerserker fire fields “glitch” overlap)

If Cond Ele SpreadSheet DPS is +- 20k it will probably be viable, but if spreadsheet DPS is 10k it will not be viable for sure.

Spreadsheets are really questionable, but when looking for the viability of a role/class it is awesome

What everybody always told me was that Condition Ele had HUGE burst, but NO sustained damage, would be nice some math/spreadsheet so we can actually compare condition damage classes without gameplay variables for theorycrafting its actual viability.

Nieguen.6235:

Thanks for the answers. I know that there is damage to be done. And mostly the tanks are kind of hybrid between power and thoughness.

Never saw the ValeGuardian boss lose aggro on the highest raid toughness (even with full nomads, even without atacking ever)(i killed it more than 15 times already (i like the fight)), the blue/red/green guys aggro is based to the [nearest target/first to hit].

Eternal title or kick hahaha

So fun needing stuff from dungeons and i cant get it because no one is doing dungeons, ArenaNet please do something, or give me a alternate way to get dungeon tokens on PVE.

RSLongK.8961:

the higher the level the less the bosses are hitting.

Thats not true, is almost the same damage, but not less.

I just don’t believe 70 in any status will be required/lifeChanger/Required or have any REAL impact on anything(except speed records maybe), so moneyWise(you should do this if you are poor), get one ascended set with agony resist only, because agony resist is REQUIRED on fractals, 70 toughness (specially toughness) is not required in anything.

504 gold for +70 toughness and Thaddeus.4891 is the rich guy?

Solomon Darkfury.3729:

This was actually to join a RAIDING guild that was being advertised on LFG.

Did stop reading.

Zui.9245:

For example, the Guild Banner Tonic (and many others) can be used as a stun break, even breaking the user out of unbreakable stuns.

Thanks by the information.

Zui.9245:

As far as crafting stations in raids, Swagger, you’re in luck. There’s a cooking station in Spirit Vale!

Where?

spoj.9672:

The problem is it caps magnetide shards on successful boss kills as well.

If they did not, i would just get my team and kill VG 4 times per hour and get rich and never need to do craft ascended stuff again.

Maybe (number here) Shards cap on failed attempts, and (indepent number here) cap for successful boss kills.

Riku.4821:

Timer. I feel adding a timer is a clutch for the developers saying" the content might not be hard enough so lets add a timer to everything".

Without a timer i would just get 10 nomads gear party and kill everything in the first try leaving my character on auto attack while i watch TV.

The timer makes people need DPS gear, and that means you need to dodge/survive, absolutely NOTHING can kill you in nomads gear on this first wing, i don’t doubt you can easily kill any enraged boss with 10 Nomads gear party.

I really agree about the CD-Reset after wipe for people that don’t have Adrenal Mushroom mastery.

And i would add something else, Just make gears not get damaged inside the raid, there is no reason for the raids damage the gear.

Iris Ng.9845:

Suggestion: Adrenaline Mushroom outside the boss arena :<

Teleport with the rift to vale guardian, there is Adrenaline Mushrooms in the first trash mobs camp after VG.

cranos.5913:

How about a repair anvil too? :P

Teleport with the rift to the beginning.

I really like the raid difficult, its easy compared with other games, but i think its hard enough for GW2, in my opinion perfect.

Thief is not bad, its just not optimal.

I believe it will be really hard, i believe they get everything ready the moment you get inside on the Lobby, and than you just get teleported to the right location when interacting with the middle portal.

AWACS.6537:

yet we have a bandit with a flamethrower

This is the boss of the first wing of the first raid, the real boss will be on the third wing.

All content will eventually get on farm status, the question is how frequently they will release new raids so we do not lack challenging content.

We will find a new one, the way to go isn’t nerfing farms, but buffing events experience, when events give enough experience people will stop doing those farms.

DrEckers.2039:

5) A Black Colored Agony that deals percentage damage to near by allies but none to the affected player.

HowTo troll everybody.

It will take 2 months, than it will drop IN EVERY FRACTAL RUN

There will be always fractals specific classes are bad, specific instabilities some classes sucks, specific raids some classes are bad, some raids some classes sucks.

BUT there will be always fractals specific classes are awesome, specific instabilities some classes are awesome, specific raids some classes are awesome, some raids some classes awesome.

Guardian sucks for this instability, so or you change everything to work around or you change class,

New mechanics/instabilities will require new strategies/compositions.

If you do/done enough fractals, you will be able to do the fractal backpiece for almost no cost, if you don’t you will expend lots of gold on it, looks like intended for the >FRACTAL LEGENDAY BACKPIECE<
