Guild Wars 2

Hum .. Looks like I have to get a P/V/T set no matter what. I don’t want to farm AC and HotW people only do 1 path

Bredin.5368:

I run either of two updated versions of the Evasion Tank.
An Offensive version and Offensive version of this build. They use LB and S/D and rely on Nature’s Voice to keep near perma-regen up.

It is highly survivable, has good mobility, and does very good sustained damage. It is NOT the best duelist build for the ranger, but it is very fun and very effective to play. You can 1vX effectively, solo roam and contribute to small groups with this build. I can post more info, including a video of the build in action, if there’s interest.

Yes I am
A Longbow Roaming build is kinda what I want to try first before Shortbow. Beside all Shortbow Builds posted here, sounds pretty good but they have really expensive Items. It will get me more than a month to farm for all those items, so for first build I think it wouldn’t be great

Hey guys
It’s being 2 weeks since I got the biggest debate in my head for each I should main. Like I’ve had some but none as bad as this one.
3 Character ate 80 and I keep jumping between them, and this slows my progress. Like I could have map completion and I don’t in any of the character

But from these 3 there are 2 that I’ve lost interest or I don’t played them often. Guardian and Elementalist, and I also have a Thief.
My Elementalist is rarely played now but as it is still between my character I always think of getting back to it but I never do. Recently tryed and I think that it is not a class for me anymore. Do you guys think I should delete it, and maybe making this decision easier for my with only 2 characters? Guardian I’ve lost some interest but I still want to try a make my own build (I’ve allways played other guys builds)
Thief is the one I get some fun, but … I think I still need to try in deph at least more 2 classes (Warrior and Ranger)

Now guys, being this said, do you think I should just get rid of my Elementalist? What are your though of deleting lvl 80 character, since it’s fairly easy to lvl up in this game? Is that big of a deal, as it is in other games that you have to grind?

Hey guys
Well recently I started to look in what I really like to do in this game, I like to do WvW Roaming and Farm dgn’s most of the times. I don’t care much about world bosses and recently only have done them to get the Tequalt Wings. After thinking about this I got this in my head “Why the hell do I not have a Warrior? It can be good in WvW (It’s there some builds I would like to try also) Roaming, and Zerg and it’s pretty much awesome ate dgn’s”

So I’m thinking in making a Warrior, but since I don’t really like to be all Zerker in most of my classes (Idk why but I’m fine with my Thief and it’s mostly Zerker) I was wondering if is still there some way to be viable for all this stuff I want to do without being a glass cannon. My favourite weapons are GS and Sword/x~

Hope you can help

So I have 77% crit damage with valkyrie an you want me to take to 61% and have 2600 armor
Foes the damage loss compensates the armor gain (Idk but the settence is problably really bad, but I don’t want to use google translate)

I though of something new
This is my current set up, I will eventually upgrade the exotic trinket for ascended

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYEQNAoaVlYmiO3eS5E/JFxWhdy9wpGtpaFoZnCsaVA-j0yAYLioRCCERBgIkRqAS6rIasVxioxqWwUlwK3ho6NysQA62CA-w

After a while playing Thief I notice that I needed condition removal, and since thief doesn’t have condition removal (almost) I though that Lyssa Runes with the venom (shortest Elite coldown) and Shadow’s Embrace could do a good job for condition removal and that way I’m able to switch my Heal for Withdraw, that has a short coldown and removes almost all CC

Hey guys
Okay so I need a PVT armor, and since I’ve spend almost all my karma and karma is hard to get now I want to know from these 2 dgn, which is easier to farm and which paths from each dgn

Ascalon Catacombs or Honor of the Waves?

Ghostwolf.9863:

Yes, S/D and S/P are both playable with very low or no stealth at all.
You will rely on dodging and teleporting, shortbow or even P/P as offset.

(x for wherever you wanna place the last 10 points)
x/30/x/x/30
x/30/x/30/x
0/30/0/25/15

If you aren’t a damage enthusiast
10/0/0/30/30
10/10/0/20/30
0/20/0/20/30

Runes: Runes of Lyssa.
Armor: Full Zerker, Zerker PvT mix or Zerker Valkyrie mix

Thanks
Well then I’ll try with my current set up, Valkyrie Armor and Zerker Trinket’s

Hey guys
Quick question, do you think there is possible to build a Stealthless Thief to use a S/x?
I know it is possible if it uses P/P but there are both very diferent weapon sets so that why I’m asking this because I like Swords, but I think Swords don’t fit well in the stealth style

Well I already have a Guardian, I like both sword there, but I know the class can be drtonger with other Weapon set’s
I think this leaves to Ranger and Warrior then

Hey guys
So I a bit tired of getting to choose a main since all the 3 current classes I have aren’t the one after all. So right now I want to have a surprise. I want the strongest class that uses !h Swords and that can main that weapon in PvE and WvW Roaming. I don’t care which one is it I just want to use that weapon as a main weapon set. This request might sound odd but right now I’m up for anything really.

And about GS? That one is the Warrior right? (i mean melee, I don’t want to have a GS to shoot lasers)

Hey guys
So after thinking in maybe getting S/P for PvE content I was thinking if a S/P build could also work for WvW Roaming? Since I don’t know much about possible trait lines with this weapon set I was asking this my self. S/D I know that work, but I prefer D/D or D/P to S/D, but S/P is another think IMO.

How do you think a build of S/P for WvW roaming would work? Do you have any suggestion of one that works?

So do you guys think that a S/P and SB with trait lines like 25/30/0/15/0 might be a good build for fractals? Equipment I would see after, if I would need Soldier (let’s farm AC ) or if with my current set of Valkyrie armor and Zerker Trinket I would be fine

You sure like expensive stuff, Apothecary isn’t one of the most expensive stats?
I was thinking in plaing the Ranger with Shortbow and S/W, isn’t this a good weapon set for roaming? (Since most of the build here are A/W and S/T)

Okay, but how do I know when use this or that utility?
Wich utilitys do you guys recomend for each fractal?

For example the Dredge one, or the Grawl (this is just examples, I would like to know for all)

Hey guys
So I’m thinking in getting into Fractals son with my Thief, the thing is I think that my Backstab build that I use for General PvE and WvW Roaming might not be great for Fractals. Idk why is just a felling

Being said, and as I think I still need to play more time with the Thief to think of a build myself, do you recomend any build for Fractals as a Thief?

Hey guy
Well, meanwhile I have a fight inside my head to choose a main between Elementalist and Thief I decided to do my next lvl 80 character (I want to have 5, 1 of each race), the Ranger.
The thing is, and Idk how it is now, but like 3-2 months ago, when I asked about Ranger people said that it isn’t all that great and that it was the weakest class in the game. How it is right now? I really don’t care much about that, I like a good chalenge sometimes so I will try Ranger anyway.

Now the fun part, Idk anything about the class, so I would like to know first if it is possible for Ranger to do WvW Roaming? And if so, is there any build that I can guide now at the beggining for Ranger?

I hope someone here can help, and who knows maybe the Ranger is the class I am looking for in this game

Uff… there are more pro than cons with the Thief than there is with Elementalist
I like both characters but when I play one I think I miss the other and vise-versa, maybe I should delete one of them …

I don’t like Glass Cannon builds, but thanks for the suggestion
Okay I almost have the buidl how it is, still miss the exotic backpack, using Soldier in the meanwhile
So far so good, haven’t played a whole lot of Elementalist yet but I’m liking what I’ve done so far
Thanks for the susggestions guys

hey guys
This might be just me because I’m kinda new with the Thief but my favourite style to play Thief is with Stealth, and my favourite weapon set by far is D/D. The thing is with D/D I often can’t fight other thief’s, specially D/P ones, I can’t stealth and can’t do the burst I need too. With other classes most of the time I’m fine but running D/D vs D/P is a lose to me.

Is D/D a weapon set still viable for WvW Roaming? Is just me and I need to train more?

Okay … I think

messiah.1908:

you ment d/p not p/d

ok changes as long you can save you initiatives and again be careful with conditions as you got no removal (like when stealth)

Yeah sorry about that, title and texted changed
Yeah beside stealth I also have shadowstep which removes 3 condition when I get back, but I usually end up using it to run away so I don’t use the return all that often

Hum Traveler because of the 25% movement speed? Since I need to mantain range would be nice to run faster than most characters. The thing is beside that, and the boon duration, IMO the rest of the bonuses off the Runes aren’t that great. But I will note the suggestion and maybe try them even before the gems.

Well them I will follow this build, thanks for the suggestions, any more suggestions anyone wanna make are welcome

Angela Fowler.5461:

I think this looks good. I prefer earth signet over armor of earth for the passive effect of having increased toughness and the control of the 4 second stun. You get to lay a lava font, stun, use your burning staff skill 3, and instead of glyph of storms I use arcane wave as a blast finisher while the lava font is still down. Hit 4 and burning retreat away and they burn in a fire field while you projectile fire ball them while they walk to you.

Not a bad idea, thanks for that suggestion, although in PvE I think Armor of Earth might be better, but for WvW Signet is not a bad choise either, at least until I get in a Zerg, (not that I like Zergs all that much but I don’t see how can staff work for roaming solo since the attack speed is kinda low)
Arcane Wave is problably a better choise over the glyph yeah, I’ll switch that

Hey guys
Could you help my getting the setup that I’m currently using getting better or is it fine?
This is the build:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fYEQNAoaVlUmiO3eS5E9JFxWhey9woItpeFIbnioaVA-j0yAYLioRCCERBgIkRqAS6rIas9hioxqWwUlwK3ho6NysQA62CA-w

So I got this based from Yishis D/P build, but I changed it because I thingk steal is a really good opener to combat and I wanted to get advantage from that. Btw the original build is 0/20/30/20/0

What do you think of the changes
The build if for small group/solo roaming. I also use it in PvE because I’m lazy but is general and easy PvE (mostly CoF runs once a day and that’s it)

Hi guys
So today I wanted to change my staff build, and I though of this:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEQQFAWhImSbwR5gjEAkHn4CLhCEIKYRRxM7A-jUyAotgQQCS2rIasthioxqWwUlRWDLk6NisLBTKgLmAA-w

Okay what I pretend is to have a good balance between support and survivability while doing some damage. Whith this I think I can get some nice numbers in damage without forgeting some of the strenghs of the Staff, which is support, through combo fields and condition removal. Also with 500 healing power I can get some nice heals.

What do you think of it? The main porpurse will be PvE [dgn’s/fractals (I will upgrade all Exotic to Ascended in time so) and maybe world bosses, even though I don’t do them all that much) and WvW Zerg (if I feel like doing WvW)

Please rate and do some changes if you think this could be better for what I pretend

PS: This is the build with full Ascended Trinket’s

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEQQFAWhImSbwR5gjEAkHn4CLhCEIKYRRxM7A-jEyAotgQQCS2jIaMLi2GKiGruGT5GZNsQqUAXMBA-w

Hi guys (for those who don’t want to read all this, I have the problem in small topic at the end, but if you really want to help, please read everything)
Once again this, I swear, someday i just get rid of 2 of my 3 characters and focus on the one thats left, I’m kinda done with this indecition on my main. The thing is I really need to have 1 main, because if I don’t, I can’t save money since I’ll be allways buying new gear for each character, and I will allways be switching specific materials from certain patchs. For example, with SAP I’m constantly swiching Boubles from one to other to be able to buy the upgrades for each character (Yes I’ve spend the hole month in SAP)

So I have to promise this will be my last call on this, and I will call the 2 classes that I love the most (my third character will stay neutral on this as I have lost interest in the class, and only play it because I can use GS and S, it’s a Guardian) Elementalist and Thief

From these 2, thief is my newest, just made it couple of months ago, or a bit less, and it is now by far the most complete character that I have. I have 1 crafting profession at maximum, i have all the 8 Story dgn’s done with him and I only have 2 Exotic Trinkets (back and 1 ring) and I haven’t done any Fractals. Also have the gemstore pick and the gemstore axe, which I kinda regret of buying, because they are great but if I end up with not getting the Thief as main I will feel like I waste my money. My problem with the class is that i’m having a really hard time matering the class. in WvW I almost lose every match in 1vs1 and 2vs1 (this, if they are both at 80 I don’t even try) and in PvE, most of the times I run CoF so, no problem with that dgn, but i’m afraid of how it will be when I want to try other dgn’s or Fractals.

With Elementalist I have some other problems, my favourite weapons are D/D and Staff, I’ve tryed Scepter, but I can’t like it, but right now I only have build for Staff, but even with Staff I have some problems. Before I was using a set that I have though my self and was already getting some ascended items for it, but recently I’ve changed my build for a Support/Zerg Role and now I’m full Exotic only, I have 3 Ascended items that are useless unless I found or think of a new build where I can use them (It’s 1 Amulet and 2 Acessories Ascended, Knight Status). With Elementalist I never have to much strugle with it, since most of the time I’ve used Staff which is the easiest weapon that Elementalits have but it’s also my favourite, but with D/D I also haven’t find any problem, at least in PvE. I also have the Phoenix armor set, so with Elementalist i kinda have the same feel with the Thief, If I don’t go with it i feel like I’ve wasted money (because, since I can’t gather to much gold, all the Gems that I ever had where bought with real money), but with the Thief is wordt because the infinite gathering tools are just so good. I just don’t like why they have to be soulbound and not accountbound as all the gathering tools. Also with my Elementalist i have some Fractals done, but I don’t have any of the crafting profession mastered and I also have HotW Story to do.

I think I can have a bit more fun when playing with my Elementalist but I think my Thief is going so perfectly that i allways feel sorry for leaving the character.

I really need help

Resumed:

-> Can’t decide between Thief and Elementalist
-> Can’t master Thief, but is the most complete character in Gear and progression. I think I can master Elementalist but haven’t played in quite a while and have a lot to do compared to the Thief
-> Both have gemstore Items, but the Thief ones are the most “important”
-> I have fun with both, but I don’t want to ruin others experience so I think mastering a class is really important

Well I’m quite recent with the Thief but until now I have never had a problem in PvE
I’m using mostly D/P or D/D, and both build from Yishis videos, so WvW builds but that really work in general PvE at the same time (Idk how it works for Fractals yet), I asked Yishis himselft and he also told me that those build could work

I think I’m right now an average Thief player, because PvE it’s easy, but when it comes to WvW roaming (my main source of PvP right now) I tend to do way better with my Guardian than with my Thief
I really hope with pratice I get along with the class otherwise I just lost 1600 gems in it (I have the gemstore gathering tools in my Thief :$)

So … the builds aren’t good?

Hi guys
First of, sorry if the text is confusing, some days the english flows better than others.

Well Guardian is the class I’ve played the most, I don’t play it since lauch but my “main” is a Guardian (not sure yet, still, the class I play better and know better).
Said this I want to start to think on my own build. By my own I mean though entirely be myself even if theres similiar build or not, I can asure this build that I will show results of my thinking, and the knowledge I have about the class so far. All the build that I’ve tested with the Guardian so far are either Support or Bunker so I wanted a more Damage build, but I don’t want to go full Zerker, I want to be able to still survive for quite a while.
I got 2 builds for this, in both build I get more critical damage and chance, as obvious to be a Damage build, but i think I made it without sacrifice all my survivability. But beside that I try to get more damage by other ways
Both build are intended to be used in PvE and WvW (Roaming)

This is the first build:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQNAR7dlUgSDHHyKEgIFSuA7DAEmCCMjueARUUDB-j0yAoNioZKCM9JQUhkl8KiGblrIasqZA1CmqMyqzk6PY0qlCgiFAA-w

In this build the other way is trying to get as many Might as I can, since Might is problably one of if not the boon that we Guardian get the most, at least with GS the weapon that I want to use

This is the second build:
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fUAQNAR7dlUgSDHHyKEgIFi9BAqqQ8gfgAveoQUUDB-jkyAoNioZKCM9JQJvioxW8KiGraGQtgpKjs6Mp+DGtapAoYBA-w

In this build the other way is trying to do more damage while the target is on fire, and since burning is the only condition Guardians can get without the affect of Sigils or Runes I’m trying to get the max of it

From both I think that the second is capable of more damage since it focus on a condition and not a boon, but the other one as a bit more of survivability, but I’m not sure if it is enough to compensate the the amount of extra damage that I get in the second option.

I choosed GS and S/F because, GS I think is the best weapon Guardian can get for a Damage role, S/F because Scepter is the best option for range combat, and when I focus in Damage with classes I always like to have a ranged weapon, we never know when it might be useful and Focus because is a really nice off-hand IMO if you look for a bit more survivability, and as I said I want to have a bit while able to do some damage. If I get in group I will switch to S/S
Now this isn’t a 100% focused on damage build as you have already seen, and I think that 50% Crit Damage is enough if I still want the survivability that I have here, because to get more crit now I would have to take out Healing Power, and I still have plenty of Regeneration and heals (heal on dodge, and more dodges because of Vigorous Precision, and Sigil of Energy) so it is nice to have at least 500 Healing Power IMO if I want to at least notice the diference.

I think this pretty much all I have to say, please tell me what do you think of it and if could work or not. I will only used one of these builds so tell me which would be better for what I want and change it if you think that the build would be better with different set of stats/trait/etc…

Btw I’ve heard that we will get a trait that gice us Fury when we use a Meditation, so that also one of the reasons that I want to use them

Yes sorry I meant WXP, I called it skills because is what my guild mates call it usually, so I though that was the “comunity” name for it

Okay, thanks for teh advice, as I was going to be a Thief Roamer I started with the one that gives you more defence angaist Guards and more damage, but when they reset this I might start with Supply Master then

Hi
Question, do WvW skill really matter? I used to do a lot of WvW before this feature and now that I want to get back with it I don’t know which skills I should spend points and I started wondering if they really matter. Right now I’m trying romaing with my 3 characters, only have the Elementalist left to try out, but before I would play Ele most of the times with Zergs, and I have a build for Zerg’s, and because of this (wanting to play Zerg and Roaming sometimes) I wanted also to know, if they do matter if they alos use some specific builds, or if there are some “universal” way to spend them and not getting that feeling of “this is distribution is more for zerg so I can’t roam now”

Hope you can help
Thanks

Did the test
Thank you now I know my main
Well i kinda already knew, i have 3 characters at 80 (Elementalist, Guardian and Thief) but I am/was allways jumping between them because never knew what fits more my personality. Some of you probalbly think this is stupid but I do have a really hard time finding my classes in MMORPG’s and I have done suveral test like this one to “find” the one but none of them more complete and as good as this one, since you could guess in which class you woul be in the previus test I did, I also tried to do with this one and I must tell when I was at half I though this would tell my I would be a Ranger and I ended up with only 1% in that class.

Congratz in your great job, this will definitely help people like me choosing their class

Strever.8764:

This the build I run for anything roaming and it works really nice for me.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fEAQJAoYhMmmbwR5gjDAkHnYSJiCPUekzM2A-jkzAYLEMWApII0HAqAY6TZNBKIWBLiGr2GT7iqhBUxKy27hoZzTtMALjB-w

Good survivability with the 1.8k toughness, and at 1.4k vitality I have enough health to get condis off without melting and to also survive long enough with my heals. With 2k power, 3k attack, and 40% crit change (make sure you have 25 stacks)/51% crit damage I am able to put really good damage on a target while surviving in most outnumbered situations. D/D ele can be really amazing if played with the right skill, however it’s not for everyone.

I liked that build, and I can still use one of my ascended items
Does the build work in PvE with Scepter? And in WvW does it work with Scepter too? i’ve been curious about a S/D combination also beside D/D but idk how viable it is in WvW, being in roaming or zerg

Hi
Well recently I’ve been playing quite a bit of WvW with all of my classes, Guardian and Thief, the last one I want to try is my Elementalist

The thing is, Elementalist for WvW Roming has to be with D/D Bunker build right? Staff for roaming doesn’t even come to my mind (how would that even work) and S/D I don’t even know, because I’ver never used this weapons together.
Well then my main problem now are these 2: I’ve never seen any of this bunker builds, since I’ve allways played with Staff, and I have some Ascended Gear, an Amulet and 2 Acessories with Knight stats, because I used those with my previous Staff build (that I have now changed and no longer use Knights) and I didn’t want to get rid of them, unless I really know that I’ll not use them ever again.
Since I’ve never seen any bunker build, do you guys know any of these build that would work with at least 3 pieces with Knight stats?

Thanks guys, I have really good replys here, I think I have enough to continue with getting better with this style and try to get something more “unique” for me.
I really like this play style of P/P, it feels really like a Gunslinger, a class that I never played much in MMO but would like to see it more in MMo, and since Engi isn’t all that great with P/P I decided to try Thief. I still like combos with Dagger, I just want to try something new and effective in my play styles (PvE mainly and WvW Roaming for PvP, sPvP will be later)

About PvP, Thief in sPvP is the P/P style effective? Not with this builds

Hi guys
I wanted to know what do you think about this build that I have come up with for WvW Roaming and PvE

http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?fYEQNAqaVlYmiO3dS5E95Ex2je+Te6p4ritTBXtKA-jkyAYLioRCCERAkSAk9KiGbfoIasqFMVpisyNoejFNLEguxA-w

The build doesn’t use Stealth, yet, I’m still testing this in WvW and if I see that is needed, i’ll take Quick Recovery and add 5 points in Shadow Arts for the minor trait and use Hide in Shadows for heal. I prever Withdraw right now because with this build I need to maintain movement and criple my foes as much times as I can to maintain distance. In PvE I’m almost 100% sure that will work even without testing it.

Hope you guys can help with suggestions to get the build better

1) D/D or D/P and SB
2)0/30/30/10/0 (D/D) 0/20/30/20/0 (D/P)
3)WvW and PvE

Hey guys
Quick topic: Do you think that for PvE, Condition Damage based Thief’s would be better than crit damage? The weapons would problably be D/D and Shortbow. The build would be for PvE in General (Roaming, Dgn’s and Fractals high lvl ones since I would not be low lvl fractals forever)

Thanks and hope you can help

So S/P. Does it work in WvW? I know it does in PvE, but alsmost anything works in PvE so this is not the problem

Hi everyone
How can a sword be viable in a Thief, in PvE and WvW?
What role do you recomend with this weapon? Damage?, “Bunker” (hybrid Damage and survivanility).

And between Dagger and Pistol wich is the best off-hand? I don’t have any preference between those two.

I woul try my-self but right now I don’t have my main computer (is getting fixed) so I can’t play GW2, but knowing the answer to this would acelerate the pocess of knowing what I want with my Thief as soon as I have my computer back. I like D/D but I want to try other stuff beside the D/D

For PvE that set of weapons works just fine? Or would you recomend a Hammer or Mace with this build? Since in the video you only refer scepter as weapon we should carry with us. I really like this weapon set up, I’ve been looking for a good 1h Sword build since I got to lvl 80

Does the build work with Soldier Armor?

Seras.5702:

Tell us exactly what you’re after, we can help you figure out some professions and even builds to cater to that.

Hum
Well I like damage, but I don’t like being a Glass Cannon so I end up almost everytime getting something that is more of an hybrid than a damage character.
Idk how good I am at Support in this game because nobody ever told me but as Cleric in other MMO’s I did quite good (but I also know that is a really different support than the support of GW2). Saying this you may think Thief isn’t for me but I also like to be a sneaky guy sometimes.
I have no preference between close and range combat although I think range is more easy.

I’ve only looked more for 2 classes, Guardian and Elementalist because those two is the ones that I have at 80.
Knowing what I’ve told you, wich of the 8 class do you recomend since most of you know more about the other 6 than I do.

Grok Krog.9581:

@Arkham. Guardian’s can use 1 handed Swords, however it’s not considered very good and that’s why he doesn’t want it to be his main due to the weapon set he likes without feeling lesser when using other weapon sets.

@mPascoal. Didn’t have to go after Jordo like that. He thought you were looking for a class that would be effective with a 1 handed sword

Now, for my reply. To be honest I don’t think you mentioned what style of play you’re looking for. Both Thief and Elementalist require alot of evasion and skillful play to stay alive. Thief has a bit more damage I’d say but Elementalist has more support. They’re both fun but I like Thief just a little bit better

You are right I shoundn’t gone to Jordo like that, but this problem keep’s poping up in my head and I wated to solve it as soon as I can so I can enjoy GW2 and other MMO’s. I still play with the Guardian occasionally with a Hammer Suport build but I don’t like it that much because it’s not how I would like to play it.
Anyway I’m not really asking for a class to pick I’m asking is in what did you based your choise when you picked your “main” character? Have you ever played with that style of character in MMO’s? Please share you experiences I think it will help me because I know the classes I want now I don’t know which one I should focus more time and effort (I mean I will get Ascended to all character problably but I will get Ascended to my main first, and I will try more than one build with my main and do the event with my main that kinda of stuff you see)

Well if i’m not wrong, the razer game booster tell’s me that my CPU is aroud 79 to 94ºC and my GPU is around 71ºC. I’m playing for maybe half-hour.
So how do I solve my problem of overheat?

Jordo.5913:

so you won’t play guardian because you can’t play with a 1h sword…but i didn’t think ele’s could use 1h swords

anyways…if you really like 1h swords, the mesmer has a pretty good build around 1h sword/pistol i believe

No kitten Sherlock, Ele’s can’t really use 1h sword?
AS far as I know I’ve said 1h sword in the Guardian, so I wanted them in the kitteng Guardian not in Mesmers, beside I don’t even want to be a Mesmer.

Hi
Well this is about classes. A month or so I said here that I was looking for a main character and that I had some option. After I’ve tried some of those option I keep coming back to the same, Elementalist or Guardian. Guardian is already off the table because I can’t play with the weapons I want for being week with the class (1h-sword) so this one is not in the option as the “Main” anymore.
Now you may think that the option was easy because I’ve only the Elementalist but there is a problem. I’ve a thief now and I got to say, I like it so far but as it isn’t at 80 yet I can’t judge it properly compared to the Thief.

To be more precise I think I’m not looking for a class but more for a Style of playing MMO’s because the classes I have more difficult with to choose are the one that are present in most MMO’s (Thief as the Rougue/Assassin, Elementalist as the Mage and Guardian as the Tank). I know GW2 is different, I’ve been playing this since lauch but the problem maintains and I got to say this problem made me quit other MMO’s before, I just don’t want that to happen again because I really love GW2.

So Elementalist or Thief? What are your advices in what I should focus from both classes/styles to decide what suit best for me? In what have you based when you picked your class?

Hi
Since the recent patch (not the one that brought the JP, the Aetherblade Retreat patch) I have this problem, wherever I go, if I see someone (even really small grupos) my FPS drop from 30/40+ to 7 or less. Idk wh this is appening, I’ve tried cleaning old junk I have, run the game in Best performance graphics and nothing works. i’m not a expert with computer so I really need help here. Just before I posted this I’ve tried to do the Aetherblade Retreat dgn and this happened every 10 seconds or even less

If someone can help me please do it

Please provide a system spec or a game advisor log along with your CPU & GPU temps under load (atleast after 15mins of game play and 15mins of idle )

You might be suffering from overheating issues… Fps drops in specific intervals sounds to me like thermal throttling.

Okay, let me log in and then I’ll provide that info. Idk but at what temp is the “normal” temp of CPU & GPU when playing GW2?
My computer has Intel Core i5-2410M CPU @ 2.30GHz, 6,0 GB RAM and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 525 M (not much but is what I can aford, I can play with almost Medium Graphics and have a 40+ FPS, except in WvW when 2 large zergs fight, then FPS drop but those drops where normal, I’ve them since the beggining)

Oh so it’s happening to more people
I’ve asked in my guild if anyone knew how to fix it and nobody was having this problem, and people I’ve group up with the same thing so I though that was the only one having FPS drops so frequently
