Tried to get as close to this as I could with what I had in PvP
What chest, legs and boots are that? :o
Trickster legs/chest, Kodan boots
kodan boots, best light boots in game. I wanted to make exact same armor, actually. But i found 0 light skull shoulders on TP (and last ones cost hundreds of gold) and i need save money for new Ascended armor and can’t afford trickster armor now.
Stop using cultural armor, we are brand new race, how can we claim trust from other species when we look like bushes and trees?
Men will never trust someone who didn’t look like them. We are very young and Pale Tree will never let us forget about our roots, so cut yourself down from forest and enter the City in the way of style.
Suit Up.
With a face like that I don’t think it’s your armor that would be the problem :P
I goes even further, now i look like one of their gods
I don’t understand your logic templar. You are saying that because mmo’s have always been boring and grindy, this one should be too? Why is it that the most enjoyable game modes are the least rewarding? Why is everything based on daily play, when many people can’t play every day? It’s not like I’m asking for things for free. I’ve put just as many hours into this game as others, but have way less to show for it. I just don’t think thats right.
Resource runs are boring. PvE is boring. That’s work. Why the hell do I want to work in a video game? I work 50 hours a week in the real world. So I can come home and work another 20 hours in a video game?
No. Sorry. Most people who are broke, like myself, are broke specifically because we play the game for enjoyment, not to make gold. And by enjoyment, I mean wvw/spvp. I recently got a attraction to CoE armor for my necro. One CoE run and I’m 5+ gold richer. I’d have to wvw for hours to get 5 gold. For a entire day if I roam or do havok groups, or scout or play defense for my team rather then follow the karma train.
The only way I could afford getting my commander tag is by buying gems and converting to gold. I’ve never had more then 50g on me that I made myself. nevermind I love gearing and trying out new builds and splurging on alts and buying dyes and reskinning armor over and over…all of that and a limited income source too…
It’s too bad the most enjoyable parts of this game are also the least rewarding.
It’s mmorpg, it’s impossible without grind. If you want pure gameplay – play action FPS. Even singleplayer RPG’s have sort of grind.
“It is not remotely hard to make money in this game.”
Must have been playing wrong for more than a year I guess.
Without grinding dungeons / champ farming / Orr Event farming how do you make money?
TP flipping?
I don’t think the general populace is nearly as rich as you think they are. Simply playing the game and gearing out leaves you generally broke until you do the methods above. By broke I am talking about Sub 50g.
I realize that’s not “broke” but it leaves you in a spot where it’s tough to buy or obtain some of the better looking items in the game, or get crafting to 500, etc.
The problem is that very few non-light armors look good AND work with our proportions. The cultural armors are some of the only armors that properly fit us.
unless you have the biggest male body type……then oversized shoulderpads and overblown buttcapes (see the skirt effect thread) will be your dearest friends. Hell this is the reason i forgone buttcapes completely for my mesmer and got the AC light pants instead (i had only 2 options for buttcapeless pants anyways)
I’m actually want real robes in game, wizards must wear robes and pointy hats.

Grenth is one of humans favorite gods (i investigate this), so skull facepaint should help with communicate those apes, cats and gremlins.

Ahahaha…. ahahahahaha… i am streaming WvW for 3 days now…
I am using a power build because i am zerging for fast achievements, but sometimes… it just so happens that i was on my way to meet up with the zerg, and i see two elementalists…
Confident they charged me while i was turning into my Lich Form… first elementalist’s knockdown didn’t effect me… and i did 7000 damage + 7000 damage, elementalist died…
Second elementalist panicked went into mist form to revive the first one… i just blasted through the first one’s corpse and the second one… once mist form was done, i hit the second elementalist 7000 damage and another 7000 damage…
4 hits… 2 KOs… you should have seen the stream go wield… it was so… beautiful…
This fractal really separates the bads from the skilled people….Seems like every time I run this fractal at least half the team goes down at the cannon stage. I don’t understand how this stage is so hard? You avoid the red circles that show up on the ground. Don’t stop and try to rez people as you will most likely go down too.
Seems like after every cannon stage I end up having to pick people up and it shouldn’t be this hard to run around.
I have had to leave countless groups because of this stage because it ends up taking hours and the reward is not worth it.
It’s not easy, when you’re necro with just 2 dodges without any vigors or higher endurance regen, when you don’t have blocks and invulnerabilities and even full DS goes down instantly.
I find it wonderful to yank people off walls in WvW or do silly things. People always forget about this skill in WvW, so they don’t know what to do when they are suddenly yanked into the enemy zerg and chilled (answer is usually die). I’ve even managed to yank people off of cliffs a couple times and let them fall to their deaths.
Structured “instability” is actually “stability”. Why do not make them completely random? And not for whole level (so players can roll for easier) but for every single fractal.
Mostly i’m pve-condi necro (yeah, nobody likes me, powerbuilds ftw) and love skin on my Rabid armor, ascended weapons and trinkets all rabid, so switching to Dire could be very costly and long. Does it worth it? Or i can just run with rabid?
Why not? If your worried about min/maxing DPS, you mine as well say “for group pve you shouldn’t even use necro :/”. Not trying to come off as rude, but MM aren’t about having warrior tier damage. They provide sustained damage while being inheritly tanky through traits. And as bhawb has stated in other MM forum topics, using berserker gear while running minions can provide very good damage output.
As for the topic of the main post, I prefer to run a power setup mainly because minions lack the condition output to keep condition pressure up. My view is biased because I mostly PvP with a MM spec tho. If you have no problems running 40+ fracts with your current build, then I think you should stick with conditions and just optimize your build through small tweaks here and there.
Minions are far unfinished. They’re dying too fast, they’re react too slow, they’re “use-skills” in pve completely useless, they’re don’t help party at all (if compare to ranger spirits). MM in PVE is not effective.
And if you need to be “tanky” in current PVE – you’re doing something wrong.
I don’t like how Zhaitan was presented in game personally. We saw him just once, for a few min. We don’t even was able to talk to him, he was an just another flying animal.
Aw, ew. Why you want to look like a plant? Go with time, be a modern Sylvari. Get a well-tailored suit, be a noble-looking. People will never trust someone who put leaves on them. It’s like Charr covered human-skin as coat.
That just means whatever story you went through with your friends doesn’t actually apply to you since it isn’t your own personal story. Hence, “It was all jsut a dream”.
Well, 80% of the personal story isn’t actually your own personal story, so there’s that.
He is great in spvp.. i can’t even use any other necro build on spvp – dagger/wh, minions, pvt and you’re fat tank with insane regen and great damage with a lot of CC
But mesmer elite can instantly win fight with you.
She was like “Oh snap, I need someone to see how i f***ing did everything that has ever happened or will happen in Tyria.
Right, i got it, ill make another dimension with my memories so everyone can see how i was there when every F***ing thing happened and i was of course the cause.”
And the Fractals were created.
I hope not.. like, why Scarlet? We have 5 more Dragons and Gods always can be returned.
Human population in Tyria is reducing, between civil wars and foreign wars (charrs, centaurs, dragon minions) they aren’t expanding much.
Charrs expanded to Ascalon, Norns moved southern in Shiverpeaks and expanded their numbers and places compared to 250 years ago, Asuras expanded Rata Sum and their labs across the world (CoE, Thaumanova …), Sylvari is tricky to say since they only have 25 years of existence, humans lost Ascalon, had to rebuild Lions Arch, lost Orr long time ago, they only made Divinity’s Reach and moved there.
But humans are cowards. And this isn’t insult, it’s a gift. Charr and Norn better die in fight, covered in blood. Asura will never betray his inventions and science and give his life to protect, sylvaris are just plants, they’re don’t even have own mind.
But humans.. experts of survival, humans too afraid of death – look at Ascalon, how many Charr-ghost do you see? 0. Humans will hold on life as hard as no one can.
Often times, the ability to always win in various fantasy universes is an illusion created by focusing on their one last chance to pull off a win.
Yes! Last Chance! All humans need! Survive enough to wait possiblity of this BRITLLIANT Last Chance, stike back as hard as you can and pray it works.. and if it is not – survive, hide from death, wait for another last chance
Now the question is whether Dessa in fractal is just a copy of her made by the mist or is she the real Dessa that was traped in fractal and if so then what happened that caused it.
Well, she can’t think outside of loop, so it’s the same probably.
It was bugged in story, it is bugged even more in normal mode. Thumanova reactor need a LOT of work. Stuck twice in different places without way to complete
