if the trash is not to be farmed and thus drops no loot then why is it even there?
Good point. The dungeon should be 3 bosses, back to back. It would be just one room that poops out bosses. You solved it Yami! You beautiful Son of bitc….
Actually, there has been (still is?) a dungeon in RoM where you just had 1 room pooping out bosses XD.
To be honest, everyone has already figured out what kind of people join groups labelled as “exp only”. Any decent player avoids using “exp” in their LFG description. Same for AP requirements, by the way.
Thanks for the links, it gave me some insight on what I already try to do in the game i.e “p 1 no stacking/no skipping”. It also just made my head hurt with all of the justification of stacking, it is clearly an exploit when players outright make bosses unable to use abilities and attacks. I honestly don’t know what Anet is doing allowing players to simplify their game down to such low levels.
How does positioning on top of eachother (=stacking) make bosses unable to use their attacks?
I was looking through my post history, and I dug up this very old thread from my early history.
It’s pretty relevant to this. History repeats itself, folks.
It would be a nice feature, especially for small population servers. BUT – they would have to make it turned off by default and a costy item (megaphone?) needed to use it.
AC p1+p3, CM p3, TA up, SE p1, CoF p1+p2, HotW p1, CoE p1. Those are the easiest/shortest dungeon paths for non-berserker keyboard turners. Of course you are free to learn the other dungeon paths aswell.
Warriors are the 2nd highest personal dps behind the LH 25 might ele, but because of the limited nature of buffing max damage in a party is not from 5 zerkwars, though that is high. If talking support the guard offers much more support from AoE blinds, aegis and Wall of Reflection, but only does about 70% max damage potential from a warr. Lastly, the max dmg build for a warr is not 30-25-0-0-15, but 30-10-0-0-30 on 4 signets and 1 banner – which also has condition clear or stunbreak unavailable on the 30-25-0-0-15.
Guard only overtakes warr’s dps with 5 targets, necros can only hit one target in their maxed direct build making it inferior for dungs, ranger never gets close and thief does less damage, but can boonstrip and interrupt very frequently in its max dps build. Do your own calcs, at present all meta builds are suboptimal, metabusers still insist they’re optimal, and I’ve grown tired of presenting maths to people who can’t understand it.
Pick thief, perma dodges, one of the best self-heals, blind and weakness spam, a 60s cd revive skill and able to carry people through dredge. Hard to learn, but very rewarding. Downside: most pugs are running “heavies only”. So maybe just pick warrior?
I am looking for a way to play it easily on other PCs, so an external drive would be a no-go since that would require me to unscrew other PCs/notebooks.
Hello Cotser!
All you need to do is to start being more social. Add good people after dungeon runs to your friend list and ask them for runs regularly. Make more friends.
I would tell you to pm me ingame, but my PC is in repairs for 2 weeks :S.
While I do not sympathize with OP’s idea of running dungeons, I think it’s impolite to look down on him because of it. The game benefits from different communties, playing with like-minded people is what creates fun. In this sense I wish the OP the best of luck with his community.
The short answer is: 25/30/15/0/0 for CM and Arah (and TA if you use stealth method instead of a guard) when you need the extra stealth, and 25/30/0/0/15 for the other dungeons (although you shouldnt play thief in those other dungeons anyway, since you’d help your group more by relogging to another class). Both builds use d/d for single target and s/p for trash, and sb for stacking stealth.
Tbh you don’t need points in shadow arts, not even in dungeons with longer skips (CM p1, Arah p2), it’s too much of an overkill (my personal experience). The average smoke+SR+smoke combo is more than enough for everything (untraited).
25/30/0/0/15 is the meta build – in high lvl fractals and other harder content you could also run 25/30/0/15/0 (just take the trait with might/dodge to make up for the dps loss).
Always have a shortbow with you (blast finishers) and either sword/pistol (for multiple targets) or dagger/dagger (single target) as your secondary set – swap when needed.
Be aware that you receive more damage when you use them.
It says -8% damage. Are the potions bugged?
Yes. The thread is posted above.
Ahh thanks! Did not see that earlier. Seems like such a simple thing to fix, but I guess 6 weeks between updates and there still is no time to fix even the smallest of bugs.
