3)This is false. A lot of times i make these sorts of posts and people do join up with the right classes.
If they don’t – you kick and move on.

Just because in your experience, something didn’t happen, that doesn’t mean it is false. I’m basing what I said on my observations, and I’ve often seen groups looking for specific classes filled with completely different classes to the ones they are looking for. That much is certainly true and I’m sure you’d also notice similar cases yourself if you just took a look through the LFG system.

So why not just kick them? How is it a problem?

I LFG for a Guardian. A mesmer joins. I kick him – no problem.

It’s rather: I lfg for a guardian. Several upleveled rangers join. A warrior with dolyak signet enters and spam me because I kick him. A guard enters with a staff and proceed to wipe at the first trash, then leave. I lfg again, get a few upleveled joining and quitting without a word. I get a few eles. Some random joins and asks for a taxi for the fgs farm. Necro joins. A guard come, ping condi gear. At this point, 2 of the pugs I had quitted because they kept dying. I lfg for “zerk, meta”, etc. I get full ptv guys not speaking english. At this point the dungeon is done and I don’t bother.

Hey guys, there’s an exploit, let’s post it on the forum so everyone can make use of it! Idea of the year.

Let this thread die?

>someone puts 12 superior arrowcarts on a t3 tower, making it untakable by any zerg no matter the size
>thief comes, kills the guy, cap the tower
>no balance problem at all

zerk means berserker. It usually implies running the usual support/dps meta builds, and it also means they expect level 80. As said above, start your own lfg if you can’t find any “all welcome”, or " all level".

What about 100% reduction and 50% chances on crit to kill anyone in 10k range, along with a perma superspeed boost and invulnerability? Sounds fair.

dominik.9721:

An elementalist can time his downstate skill as well. He can even uses his skill 0,1s before your stomp is completly casted.
So actually no.

you can =/= it happens all the time.

Since this thread is useless anyway, i’ m just coming to say you can stomp an ele at the first try if you have a teleport. It just requires a good timing.

for level 65+, I convert gold to ectos. Don’t know if it’s the best way, though, but since i had thousands of arah tokens, I made about 1k ectos.

Use it for the skin.

Sword aa is better than gs aa for dps, but gs has a lot of hard hitting abilities ( in fact, everything non aa is a dps gain). Sword 2 is useful only if you need the blind, and you probably don’t in open world. Gs+ sw/focus is the fastest.

That’s common sense, really.

I think that’s a disgusting and pathetic move.

Edited because I’m a nice guy.

Draknar.5748:

100% agree with OP. I’ve started and finished a CoF p1 run before a speedrunning group that demanded “xpert 10k AP zerk heavies only” even started.

What’s that saying? Cut your nose to spite your face? Something like that. That’s basically what they do for the sake of a “speedrun”.

If it asked for heavies, it wasn’t a speedrunning group.

Believe it or not but I ask for zerker gear check because they are far less toxic than other players. My runs are smooth and I make in game friends for further dungeoning, and I solo the dungeon while waiting for people anyway.

And it would destroy the point of retaliation.

They probably forgot to include lupicus in that, then.

Stealth resets mobs aggro in solo. You can’t stealth, even CnD+backstab may reset some bosses. In groups, sitting in stealth doing nothing is leeching a spot. Don’t rely on stealth in pve except for trash skipping.

Stacking kholer is a dps loss as well, though.

Better: Don’t use flamethrower in a zerg?

If it’s doable…

“You elitist have absolutely no idea about balance right? My condition necro deals a lot of damage with the nemesis hybrid build because epidemic allows him to cleave, but warrior is still the first dps class in the game and hundred blade hits for like 800k. We all know how good necro utilities are but I often get kicked from those zerker groups because my dps is lower than a warrior. This is unfair, and I think we should set our priorities on this.”

For your answer about rush, if it wasn’t bugged it would need to be dodged in pvp anyway, as it’s a hard hitting skill, I don’t think most people would have a problem if it’s not eviscerate level. Or they could split things, but who am I kidding.

What, the living story bosses are hard now?

2. Warrior. (My ascended assassin Warrior can hit 35k hundred blades, 15k Final Thrust, that’s right sword, Final Thrust is an AoE Eviscerate that doesn’t take Adrenaline)

Did I mention that is without 25 stacks of might, food, banners and ally traits backing it up?

People really underestimate assassins, it’s great for PuGs when your team lacks any sort of coordination, keeping your damage high when your team cannot help you keep it high.
The biggest downside is, World Bosses and structures like graveling mounds REALLY shows the lack of raw power and how reliable each hit landing a critical is.

I’m surprised how low thieves are landing on peoples lists, come now guys, a good thief can not only wreck face but help you skip half a dungeon.

Honest question: If this build is for pugging, shouldn’t berserker be better actually? As a warrior you already have great solo fury uptime and banner of discipline so you’re not reliant on pugs to up your crit chance.

K, hotw P2 duo incoming!

Evades. Withdraw, acro traitline, vigor on heal for timed dodges. Pistolwhip for long wind up attacks/ repeatable rotations/ trash mobs. Dagger 3 when you feel adventurous at lupi p1.

But blinds are a cool thing also.

I find arah the most interesting, and it’s really a good dungeon to duo, as you can have fun between encounters ( there’s a lot of afk spots, arah is designed for people wanting to afk). A couple I know duo cm daily and it seems to be easier than arah. As far as class goes, warrior/ele is fast and devastating, guardian is always nice to have especially when starting and in dungeons with lots of conditions and projectiles, and i find engi better suited than thief for the most part. ( access to offensive support, and thief really needs might stacks to reach its great dps). That’s really general advice, you can pm me for informations about paths/strats/ help. Duos are, for me, far better than solos. More fun, more stupid ideas, and it’s easier.

He’s refering to tome of wrath. Wich is stupid, because no one uses that.

Thieves have access to spammable evades, use them.

Did you know? Assassin isn’t more tanky than berserker.

Level 20-30 you mean. Level 2 to 20 doesn’t exist. Scrolls ftw.

Everything works in pve. Naked no traits builds are enough. But there’s still better options.

Earth dagger 5 doesn’t count, too much of a dps loss.

Having an open world scrub serious about me is seriously not my priority.

@miku: I agree with most of the ideas, especially adrenaline decay, but a 25% damage boost on the last hb hit seems like a lot. I’d rather see a bit of damage moved to rush when it’s fixed ( never, probably). That way the dps still goes up, but the cleave damage stays the same. I feel like warrior cleave is already strong enough.

Offensive support refers to might, fury, vuln and unique buffs to up the team dps. Staff has far less blasts than s/f, so it stacks less might and fury. The build you created isn’t for pve, because it’s strong in unimportant areas. In pve, elementalist is an offensive support class with strong defensive utilities ( blinds, swirling winds, lightning field).

Staff is full personal dps with low offensive support but 100% fire field uptime ( great coupled with another ele using s/f)
Scepter focus is the best offensive support set with access to all the party support focus gives, mainly projectile defense and a bit more blasts. Uses Lightning hammer for sustained dps.
Scepter dagger is the offensive version of s/f, less blasts and party support but better burst.
Dagger/focus is non reliant on conjures and has always access to focus defensive abilities, so it’s better used in high level content ( soloing, fractals).

That’s about it.

Posts after posts, I’m realizing how non sarcastic dominik’s sig is.

Dagger/dagger is suboptimal. Staff is the highest dps, but the lowest offensive support.
Build isn’t for pve.

Can I have all your stuff?

Oh wait, you don’t have it anymore.

caveman.5840:

pve will all ways be lame

pvp/wvw is end game shame they don’t focus on that

Do you plan to prove that by posting a speedrun video? ‘cause we’re waiting a few right now and they aren’t coming.

Between the two, corruption.

Ok, I’ll give it to you, people like the poster above are disgusting. But they are a minority.

luv u grimm
xx

You’re doing it right.

Tanky gearsets have an(Edit: kitten) use for inexperienced players. You can’t just delete it because it’s not used in speedruns.

celestial is a pvp gear. If you use it in pve, you already start with a bad build. Engis are good to have in fractals, just as having an elementalist is. Try to have both.

I do that pretty much everyday, and then I come to forum to see how much I get insulted for being an elitist.

They changed the stacking long ago because speedrunners used to carry two weaponsets with bloodlust and a damage modifier, so you now loose stacks when switching weapons. Also don’t stack on wolves, stack on players. Faster.
