Guild Wars 2

Energy balls come from other asc than rings

Whats bothering is that core specs r no more represented. I miss fighting old specs

Lose.

I am about to hit diamond, and it has been very, very painful. I once had the same mace/axe warrior on my team 3 times in a row, who would just suicide and die within a few seconds. AND HE WAS DIAMOND!

It doesnt take much insight to understand that he mostlikely got to diamond with a different class or build as such playstyle wouldnt get u there, unless he played tons of games which is less likely.
We have class achis for the ascension and if u put two n two together hes likely to be testing around, like many do after hitting diamond

This is kinda dodgy thing to do though (or lazy designing). Many have busy lives and commitments which is what made gw2 very accessible in the first place. Challenging is fun, but this is just dumbing it down, once again by rewarding it with time, just like in leagues, HoT meta map rotations, time is all you need to progress.

Did they up the rate you get them per ring you salvage? I salvaged like 40 rings at HoT launch feels like I got way less compared to the ring I just did now which gave me 15 SM.

If you are trying to pug your way into raids via lfg understand that you are a stranger to them. They dont owe you anything John Snow, and they cherry pick people off lfg based on their needs, what is best, what is safe. They do this because as you said raids have been out for months and theyve failed in the past, they dont want to spend more time in raids due to individuals being subpar. A guardian is nothing like that in the “meta”, at least thats what the majority thinks, and it is true to an extent.

If you relay on strangers and outsiders, you must accept that you have to cater to their needs. It’s like applying for a job that requires some CV. Make a Warrior, a herald, mesmer, druid, or a Tempest, and once you’ve proven yourself in one or a few pugs, ask them to add you or add them, so that next week you may have some to play with. Thats what I did, and Im no longer a benchwarmer cuz I stepped up my game. It’s a cold world out there, it aint for all son.

Yes – but this is hard. And people don’t want hard – they want it easy. They want to pick up raids whenever and have teams full of people 9/10 ready for them to go.
They don’t want to go through the trouble of finding a team, learning, putting in the time ( or making the time to put in) – they want to just roll over raids like it’s some open world event and they have a 40 man zerg on their side.

Then as you say they should stick with the other open content GW2 has to offer which caters to many golly gee.
I agree that it isnt easy to get into a pug as a random, some times during days theres no interest in the lfg. But raids will always be about understanding the mechanic and execute accordingly to succeed, something all other content dont have, which is the new type of thing part from fractals. New is good, it adds to the diversity GW2 needs.

Grats! Playing carry builds is def the way to go, like cele tempest for me, thats how im diamond now but i dont have the time nor will to push for leg. Qing at set hrs def works, esp when ur at the last tier, i even stopped for 2 3 hrs n it felt like the system reset itself so i got dif matchups n wouldnt lose.

My gut tells me by next tuesday we’ll have a visual slider.

sounds like u need to pick a classbuild ur gud at, like roll a cele Tempest or cele druid, then come bk for bragging rights.

A good condi reaper or viper rev can break through it

Decoration in guild hall is fun and all, but have there been requests by the community of adding something similiar in our home instance? It could give players more freedom to actually experience something that may not be as easily accessible for some.

because not enough players. first stuff must be fixed to create more fun and interest = more players = possibility of seperating soloq and teamq

I have an upload on my channel from last boss fight, while there most likely are many other druid vids/guides out there. For Spirit Vale it doesnt matter (in general) what you wear, you are there to provide heals and they will increase raid damage (Grace of the land trait). If there is a dedicated tank in the raid then try not to get above his toughness level as itll make the boss agro on you (not the last boss tho). Magi gear is cheap, while if you were tanking and healing gorseval (which druids often do) then get more clerics to up your toughness. Monk runes on gear and sigil of transference on staff. You sit mainly in staff as it ups your astral force gain, and the healing on AA aint so bad either.

For Vale guardian I would use glyph of empowerment, glyph of tides (to knockback red seekers), and frost spirit. I like Nature spirit for its aoe heal, tho not mandatory, the glyph utility works too.
For gorseval and sabetha I swap out glyph of tides for Sun spirit for more raid damage. We will never be there for our personal dps, if the raid members are good Our heals alone is enough to keep them topped, while you provide damage boosters for your raid through trait and utilites (use them at full benefit by poppin em when you know ppl have time to focus their damage).

U cant c mastery lvl in hotm, yet u can c pvp rank in pve. Why? Cuz anet desperately needs to advertise pvp, they need more mindless food for the grinder. Hence why u gain so much trans charges on tier lvls, an hence we have the stuck-on-you pvp leagues text in upper right corner.

Focus is too good to miss out on, especially when u compare it to oh dagger. U must also look at the cele aurashares role (assuming this is what u speak of) and to achieve it ull need the defensives n utility focus gives during teamfights. U will drop fast when group focused, esp in yoloq.

If u search for nemesis’s wraith necro build on utube ull find a good allround stronk ranged dmg build. Normally ranged weps do less dmg than melee, but this one hits a sweetspot. I think his utbue name is i am legion or something

So much attitude in here

Dh is a slow gimmick easily shut down by its own low mobilty and reflect

I reached diamond yday as solo, stop being so soar lol. All it mainly takes s being good at map awareness and decision taking. I wont attempt legendary tho as im done with the grind, time to finish off some of the other class specific achis.

Do we need him for a leg collection, or just mastery pt?

alright thanks alot guys. last question, does anyone know if we need 1 or 6 of them (1 for each armor piece)?

U get tons if trans charges by advancing a tier (just 5 pips) so def worth playing leagues for it

Can someone explain how one get this currency tho since wiki doesnt say

can u buy them already tho? i went to a vendor n didnt c one

Well the community manager couldve picked up on that and given an answer on anets behalf. Its just sad to see topics cherrypicked if its good PR, while we are continously left in the dark and frustrated of whats to most likely never come.

Im having a blast in PvP, i just sit in water and rotate my 7 auras while the team does the rest!

Check out the spirit vale in the upper right corner text
Play leagues in upper right corner text
Flashing yellow exp bar cuz missing mastery points
Check out twitch text in loading screen
PvP icons cluttered all over players showcasing time invested
Watered down spell effects (like ele fire AA staff) yet goldsink nevermore is a boost in the AA visual department

It would surely be nice to have slider options where one could customize the current online ad casino game gw2 (in the extreme) can feel like. We are not asking for mods to customize your beautiful artwork, just give us choice to not having to be reminded and annoyed by NPE-like stuff we already know of. Oh and a happy new year!

I see these on wiki, but no way to aquire them just yet? If so, how can one best prepare oneself for these? I hear they may require time gates up to 50 days to aquire, needed for leg armor.

Well with zerk u have like 50% crit n u can have acess to fury which is an extra 20%, and since that will make u crit alot id go with air as it also procs potentially every 3rd sec. Air is also used often as top choice for pve builds, aside with force

Edit: im actually a bit unsure when rethinking it :o my take is that ull get it by crossing legendary once during a season, since its 4 divisions gained by then (unless there r more tiers)

Thanks, but does anyone know which frac is less time consuming after swamp?

People give best tips you can get.

“I expect the real PvP begins in Diamond+”

Im in Diamond playing only necromancer solo q. Diamond is same like Ruby. Diamond have a lot of low skilled players that still don’t know what is teamplay, dont know how to dps and focus the same target and cc or they die in 2sec. It also have med-high and high skilled players but rare. I think something is wrong with pvp system as Diamond players should know already what to do and how to assist their teammates. Most of my games atm enemy team hard focus me. i try survive 1v2 or 1v3 enemy follow me till i die none cares about it. Teammates can’t get a point or kill anyone while i kite away 2-3 enemies and also very rare when i get matched with peoples trying to help me. I had 100% win streak when the system matched me with players that play it as a team game. That happend at 12/28/2015 only. I’ve won like 13-15 games in a row if i remember correct. They just dont care about i have to fight with 2-3 peoples zerging on me everytime. I die and then the whole our team die.

Well thats about the life of solo Necromancer in Diamond)

Thats cuz average joe will make it to diamond/legendary since u just need a winrate above 50%. Such a player can nolife their way to the top, all u need is time. Time does not equal skill, hence why yoloq will always be random regardless of tier as long as we have this system.

Thankfully due to this, average joe will not be unhappy as he can have a sense of progression in this system and be eventually rewarded with leg bkitem, which is beneficial to anet as average joe is the massplayerbase.

I basically wanna do fracs again to get some asc chests. What is the fastest way to do so with my limitations: im sitting on what was max available AR at pre revamp which was at rank 50. Should i o.ly go for the daily 3 51-100 fracs as droprate is higher here, and which ones? Can i do the 3 different swamp lvls ones with the AR i have or should the last one be something else?

Make sure u check the box for standard enemy models so u can actually see their animations. If u know key skills that class x has worth dodging, make a human one and try it in the mists. Once u r familiar with the animation u can easier notice it, while it also helps knowing when that skill may be used next if there is a rotation/obvious situation/count the cd after first use.

Know ur role with the build u have, potentially swap before game start to adjust to ur team comp, know ur teamclasses/enemies to be better prep of whats to come (u wont fully know till as the game evolves)

Other than that as others said just play, and know what could have been done differently if something goes wrong. Make the right calls during the match based on past exp during said match. For instance i was in a foefire match, our team was ahead 250 to 150, but it was a wierd score as our team kept losing onpts and stayed ahead by rotating. One enemy rev killed our lord and they were ahead by like 60 pts. We managed to hold 2 pts consistently but I saw that we needed to kill their lord as well to make it, it was even dodgy cuz based on our team n exp i had a feeling wed lost a pt+ppl dying. I wanted to go lord but they insisted in holding and we lost cuz we eventually lost a pt. This was in mid ruby.

There r many more factors to consider as a soloq, so id say in many cases it isnt solely ur fault cuz ur all pugs n not rly working fully together as an organized premade can.

Downstate matters in soloq

Guard has always been simplistic with few abilities, easy to understand and use, and DH is a slow moving gimmick by being shut down by reflects. Trapper runes on DH makes it a bit more fun, at least for me.

I have this problem when i run chrome in the background. Using IE browser fixed it

Rebound is everything if shout traited. Greatsword elite if u need mobility, tho it has a long cd.

I still stand firm that each wing will have a 3+ month period so that casuals gets to clear it, and bcuz anet needs the slack. Kind of bummed that legendary armor might be seen in 10+ months, meanwhile they wont tell us if we need 250+ legendary insights or can stop raiding once collections r done. Cheap way of sustaining content, but thats ‘cost efficiency’ for ya

In soloq conquest Im often playing as cele aurashare tempest, and often when we win opener mid i stay there solo, while enemy team focuses sidenodes, forcing outnumbered matches by at least +1 on a point. In general what would u do, considering the randomness of being amongst pugs.
I tend to aid the node that may need the most help/being most vital considering enemy could retake mid after clearing my teammates, at the same time i use map to make sure i can count 5 enemies onpts to prevent mid steal. At the same time this leaves mid open, and tempest is slow. Nor do i know if an enemy is close at dying either, being able to make his way for mid decap vs how useful ill be during those seconds on sidept.

Or why not just play ur role the best and see how the match evolves? Sometimes u win matches with strange class comps, sux to be u if u wanna miss out on pips

There r alot of UI issues that r left out, such as the constant reminder of raids n leagues in upper right corner. We’re playing an ad casino game

its really agrevating that we have to keep push for this farm cuz left in the darkm would love to hear any feedback from our community manager on this

For a little while ago I finished the first tier of collections for Spirit Vale. I understand it will most likely take some months still till the new raid wing is out so that all may progress in it, but wouldnt it be nice to know how many legendary insights we need for armor? It sucks cuz Im feeling a bit forced to do them as for what I know Anet would want us to have 250 of them.

I wouldve had this title if it wasnt for a kill bug on sab..

Good condi reapers can push tempests past the 90% hp through raw power, and then convert boons on shouts into condis. With proper cc on attunements, forcing ele out of his rotations, he wil drop to the prolonged condi pressure a condi reaper alone on point. Others have done it, so can u, dont come here to qq just cuz u cant understand how tempest works. Ofc itll vary in a teamsetting, but if nome peels for the tempest when subject to cc n condis, he’ll drop faster than a chronobunker n druid.

Most likely he had some dmg mitigation from teammates, with 40% prot, frost aura, while u also had weakness on u (maybe he had it traited on shouts). Otherwise nothing i can think of right now

Online u are truly an original! But no I like having options, its like a wiki, showcasing discussions and builds popular by the community.

All u need to do is to wait for the next season, the tickets u earn is permanent.
