Jeknar.6184:

Just stomp SBI/TC and bring yer kitten up to T1 so we can fight again…

They be not goin anywhere any time soon. As it be standin now we be fightin ‘da scury laden dogs tooth ’n nail and we be not handin’ ’dem an easy victory.

If dey really be wantin’ ‘ta make it ’ta T1 ’dey be needin ’ta cover ’da night gap more effectively. Wit ’da SBI crew joinin’ in SoR be in fer a good keelhaulin’ come Friday.

Ahoy ye mangy muts and landlubbers!

It be a great o’ pillagin’ ‘n plunderin’ ‘da wares and booty o’ BG and SoR.

While ye be a great adversary, we be learnin’ yer tricks and be a’ watchin yer ways.

And ’ta da Icoa Commander I be killin on ’da BG BL last night at Northeast Supply.

Thank ye for ’da plundarrrr!

It really depends on your build which one in more useful.

For WvW, my guild has several guards, most running AH focused support builds.

This in turn allows me to focus less on group support and more on self support/dps.

I use Stand you ground and Save yourselves to help my regen and allow me to have stability/retaliation, which also gets passed to the group.

Save yourself gives me everything else that I need.

Hello,

I am writing in regards of having to complete 7 fractal runs every month. Now I know there are many players out there like me that begrudge fractals, and would like to see alternative challenges. There are players that live in WvW /sPvP who would like to see an alternative to having to complete these fractals.

I would like to see the monthly challenge swap PvE and PvP content (i.e. one month have fractals, another month kill X amount of invaders or capture X amount of points.)

Or in the very least, allow us to run 7 fractal runs or kill X amount of enemy’s or cap X amount of locations.

Not bad.

I feel like we need to make a sticky about this, because very few seem to do it, but post your build details!

What many of us I’m sure would like to know is…
1. What traits are you using?
2. What armor stats are you using?
3. What trinkets are you using (rings, amulet, acc.)?
4. What weapons and stats are you using?
5. What Runes/Orb’s and sigils are you using.

Give us the details!

Does this work on Cultural Armor/Weapons as well?

Looks good, tried this build last night. Does great 1v1 in WvW, but doesn’t seem to have any sort of great group synergy.

However, if the rest of the group has the ability to stay up on their own, then this is definetely a solid build.

I would agree Retreat should be on a 45 second cooldown. Currently I believe every other class has some sort of either traited or signet speed increase, yet we have to rely on staff/retreat to move across maps in WvW, otherwise we are sitting ducks to zergs going from one point to another.

We should have at least a 10% run speed increase added to one of out minor traits.

Sathrien.4695:

looks cool what did you mix the human T3 cultural with?

Looks like he used HotW gear for everything else.

Although I think those may be the CM boots. Can’t tell from the cropping.

Illumination – Gold
Starry Night – Blue Trim
Icing – White Trim

It is the Prime Evil piece you buy from the gem store.

Hello my fellow Guardians, I am currently looking for a more self centered, dps based build for my guardian. We currently have several support based guardians, so now I am wanting to try a damage based build, with some healing and decent mitigation.

I was currently looking at a build using meditations.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUEQJARWlYgaDnFSOEf4ERWhVi9QjZ8jXPgoDbIA

I am currently using knights armor w/ Berserker GS & trinkets.

I was wondering about what runes/sigils I should be using.

Please let me know of what you guys would use!

Now ya be listenin’ ye ‘lubbers!
Ye be seein’ me studder?
We be bestin’ yer men,
Ye be cryin’ like me wench.
Now just ‘cause we be pirates,
Don’t mean we just be quite!
We be stormin’ yer beach,
And takin yer keeps!
Now SoR and BG be listen’n,
Our points be ya not gettin.
Da Pirates be a’ fightin’!
And ‘ur lass’ be cryin!

So I now have a level 80 Guard and want to use him for the sole purpose of WvW. the only thing I have on him is knights armor.

Know I was wondering…

1. Whats a good dps/group support based build
2. What weapons should I be using? Hammer/GS?
3. What sigils/runes do you prefer to run?

Thanks everyone!

Just tried to log in this morning and was able to purchase gems!

Now I know there is a lockout timer XD

Hope everyone had a happy new year.

So yesterday I purchased gems for my character, trying to get some gold to gear him up.

After the conversion and buying some gear, I realized it was not enough and went to buy more gems.

I then received a message saying the card was blocked and to contact support.

I’m kind of frustrated that cards can be “blacked out” so easily.

I want to buy gems but can’t buy any! >.<

Yarr, BG be at it again ’wit ’der Asia time!

It be ok mateys, BG be givin us a chance ’ta gain more booty and wenches.

Be prepared ’fer me ’ta capture yer female norns fer me pleasure!

Not bad, I’ll look at the costs of them later.

It kind of sucks that theres hundreds of cooking guides and a few artificing, and almost none for any of the other crafting professions.

Hey guys, trying to level a character to 80 by a mix of leveling/crafting.

I have already leveled cooking and artificing, but can’t seem to find any good and easy guides doing anything else.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ahoy! I be askin’ if ye be thinkin if ’da unbreakable bell be a force ’fer good or ’fer evil.

I just be receivin ‘da bell from a random box, and currently be usin’ it ‘fer cruel intentions, bein’ a pirate and all.

What ye fellow scoundrels be doin ’wit yer bells?

Yarrrr mateys! Dis be a good week ’un fightin ’n brawlin we be havin.

It be best if ye be leavin yer hate ’wit ya when ye be loggin off and havin ’mer respect fer ye fellow man.

That be said, no matter if me crew be outnumbered, we be a pair ‘o salty dogs and be ready ’ta take ye booty no matta’ da cost.

Oh, and I be takin yer norn wenches too. I be havin a thing fer norn wenches.

Aye, can be speakin’ fer YB. I remembrin’ ‘da fight wit’ da YB lads. Ye be a great challenge and a dastardly crew o’ surly dogs at that.

Vanity.2506:

Most RP is done in /say. Though in the case of the Pirates, I’m not sure. I’m in EB mostly and I think they’re in one of the BLs.

Ahoy, ye be callin’ fer a pirate?

YARRRR!

This be a warnin’ ’ta all of SoR and BG. If ye be knockin on our doors tonight, me warrior be jumpin down ’ta say hello.

Look fer a hammer warrior stompin’ ’n a fearin all da scurvy dogs who be hittin me door.

I be not takin ‘ta kindly to ye disturbin’ me slumber!

fivekiller.1432:

TC doesn’t have near the coverage BG has yet they went FULL long before BG did.

Yarrr matey, dat be true fer many a TC’ers be of da RP kinda. Ye be findin many a’ TC in Queensdale.

I think it might be an undiscovered recipe, as I scour for new daggers to collect daily and have not seen this dagger.

And I’m sure there are many forge recipes to still be discovered.

Ahoy! Da current end game be gettin gear at 80 ’den joining us salty dogs in WvW.

Sword is slightly bigger on a norn.

I made a warrior for this reason.

I swing a big hammer and a big sword!

You don’t, that dagger fins you when it comes for your soul.

But really, I have not seen this dagger around, and I have crafted/bought many, many daggers.

Depends on what you like to do.

Are you a big numbers kind of person? I would say a warrior.

Are you a person that likes to do some damage, while healing/helping the group as a whole? I would say guardian.

Warrior do have some utility as well with banners or shouts, but coming from a guy who has a warrior, I would say the guardians are better utility class (heals, condition removal, and buffs).

Thank ye all kindly fer da help!

I don’t be liken havin ‘ta do da foolish FoTM, but it be required ’ta do the monthly. It be why I ain’t be doin ’da monthly fer several moons.

Yarr, it be a vicious battle ‘dis week ’wit da crews be war’in ’gainst each other.

BG be mighty in ’da numbers, SoR be worthy adversaries as well.

We in TC BL be havin some fun last night with grog and ale, and be pushin SoR back to their spawn where da scurvy dogs belong! We also be leavin a nice shame ram as present fer da Christmas night!

What sigils do you use on your weapons?

After using it in WvW I think it should have a slightly larger radius, so that I basically don’t have to hug the guy to have it land, and reduce the cast time.

I’m trying everything out at this point, had a frien tell me he was running a shout build with hammer and worked really well for him, but he didn’t give me any details. I’m running a hybrid buil now, it’s ok but lacks some major Cc

Can you link your exact build? I really want to give this a go. Also, how is your mobility?

Edit: never mind, just realized you linked the build in the video!

Bull charge, endure pain, hundred blades = win every time

Remember to get the frack away when you dun though, or pull out something with a shield/mace offhand. If they’re not dead, they’ll be hella mad

Ahoy mateys, any of ye salty dogs be havin o’ fare Hammer/Shout build or somethin’ hammer related ’wit da survivability?

Be lookin’ fer such o’ build but can be seemin ’ta find one.

Also be includin ’da runes/sigils ye be usin as well.

Ajaa.7283:

My guess: Power Precision Toughness, Power/Precision Vitality Condition

Power, Precision, Toughness / Power, Vitality, Crit Damage.

Ahoy matey’s and land lubbers, me lad Eli Arathean just be hittin his and now I be lookin ’fer direction.

I be seein ’da popularity of greatsword/rifle, but I be thinkin of wantin ’ta be doin something else lads.

I be seein a lot of builds but me noggin don’t be knowin’ which way ’ta be turnin!

Me current gear be mostly PPT, a piece of PVC, and berserker accessories.

Arg, arg, arg.

Da hate be ’n palpable among the servers. TSP be gone ’n found yer stream mateys, which be why we knew where ye where.

We be fare ‘n square and don’t be taking kindly to no bellyaching.

Arnuk.9786:

Level 80 Charr Warrior

What shoulder is this with the many spikes on one side and the regular plate on the other?

I expect a buff to scepter/staff, a fix in bugs, and maybe some trait changes.

Possibly making major and superior rune effects not stack.

If they mess with anything else in relation to the current bunker build, it will make our one one non-glasscannon build suck.

Basically, if they nerf D/D and not buff anything else, I’ll probably go back to my mesmer or finish leveling my warrior.

In regards to boons, guardians stack boons like crazy, if we get a nerf they definitely need a nerf, also quite a few class can get out of immobilized, stuns, etc. just as easy as we can. I would expect them to get a nerf as well.

We’ll see what happens. Hopefully Anet does something good for one instead of giving pulling a kneejerk reaction, but we’ll see.

Edit: Ether Renewal took a blow the last patch and is fine as is.

If you ever have any questions, feel free to message me in game. We can duel in sPvP as will if anyone needs some practice.

Currently the best way to take down an ele is to dodge our initial burst, make us use our cantrips (i.e. stun us, immobilize, etc.) and basically lock us down. The D/D bunker ele’s can be tough, but the worst thing you can do is run away. You don’t have stealth like a thief, we will catch you.

Also, I am working on leveling a warrior now, and with a hammer build you can quite easily take out a D/D Ele from what I’ve seen.

Did this last night with about 300 pebbles. I receieved 3 silver doubloons, 10 copper, a bunch of talismans, nuggets, and some more pebbles in return. Wasn’t profitable for me, but maybe others have better luck.

Oh, I did discover that talismans may have a chance at awarding doubloons, but I didn’t have a large enough sample size to figure out a rate of return.

Yarr, it be a good week.

Many o’ bags o’ plunder.

It seems like OP and several others don’t know how to combat a D/D Ele. The D/D setup is fine as is. The class already took a major blow, and would be completely useless if we took another major blow to our D/D traits & skills.

What we need is a buff on staff or scepter to make using them more appealing. The reason why you see so many D/D Ele’s is because the other weapons just don’t bring as much to the table.

Ele’s have one good pvp “build”. Any more hit’s would cause me to put up my Ele hat and make me either go back to my mesmer or lvl my necro or guardian.

So I just upgraded to a XFX 7870ghz from a EVGA GTX 470. Everything seemed a lot more darker on the base 1.0 setting for gamma, and it seems like every once in a while I’ll get a random screen tear or some sort of distortion when a skill is used in WvW or a high pop area in LA.

Does this seem like a driver or card issue?

I’m on catalyst 12.10

i have an i-5 2400 and have no issues.

Get a good quad core, and get a really good vid card.

The rest is up to the client >.>
