Well then all pugs are bads :P

^
You’re so right there. Now you get the point.

I don’t mind doing P2, and I guess story if you really need it but I only enjoy the endboss there. I’m Eu though.

You get one as a personal story reward, not by leveling to 10. But you need to be level 10 to unlock said personal story.

I’d say 30 sec revealed would be more balanced. Also, the aoe should be 10k radius( a shadow trap range) because no one wants a thief to avoid the skill and run.

Haha, kitten pugs even more.

2,5.. Like, it requires 2 guys and a sentinel guardian to kick? I’m lost.

What does that kick thresold even mean?

Ascended armor is worth it only for fractals. Use exotics for strange builds, and craft a berserker/assassin mix for fractals. The stat gain is far too low to consider it.

Oh, poor P/d condi thieves, they are so barely viable in the only game mode where P/D is a thing.

Moa is only annoying when running from a zerg in WwW because you can’t see every mesmer ( especially if they are stealthed), but let’s be honest, taking a supply crate or any long lasting cc for that matter will kill you anyway. It’s not a fun elite to fight against that’s fore sure, it’s infuriating and kind of bad manners, but no, it’s far from overpowered.

No, keep full berserker. Your crit chance is already high enough with Side strike and signet of agility.

That cof P1 warrior is the reason I hate pugs.
Also, that’s some nice story telling going on there.

Painbow.6059:

2 ele
1 warrior
1 guard
1 engi/thief (thief for longer stealth but engi is overall more utility and aoe damage with enough blinds)

This is the best fractal composition in my opinion

Let me explain for those who don’t know about ooze:

Ooze has 2 attacks, one at 50-400ish range ( the six bounces) and one at about 400 or 500 to 900 range ( the 3 bounces while moving, immediately followed by a melee attack if possible) ( numbers are totally guessed but that’s the point, one ranged attack and one close range attack), so if you go far enough, he has no set up attacks for your range, and since all his movment is paired with an attack, you can afk range it pretty much everywhere. Try it, just aggro the ooze, move a bit far, and facepalm.

Acting like a frustrated child won’t help you, and being agressive in general will just get you more troubles. People here aren’t responsable for your lag, trust it or not. I however blame the guys playing with you when you had those lags, did you pass your anger on them as well?

Then force every inexperienced player to learn the game as a full berserker ele. Your problem is solved, we have hammers and nails. Though we loose half the population.

What I’m saying is you’re being pretty agressive for someone seeking help on a forum about how the poor you disconected.

Yeah those party wide lags happen to everyone, especially in an instance ( had a few in open world and WwW but nothing like those 10 sec freezes).

meanwhile:

Omg are you reading what I wrote or just judging LOL. I am not in PVT gear. MG so many ignorant ppl.

And I dont care what you think of my build or anything. I’m just saying, too many stupid zerkers around thinking they are good.

I broke it

mcgriddles.2416:

Here’s a tip: if you don’t have anything useful to say, then don’t say anything at all.

Here’s a tip: If you know you’re lagging, don’t go into pvp.

Breaking news: Wearing valkyrie lowers your dps and makes you tankier. That’s the point of the gear. You just said: " But if you are a full zerker and you die even with my perma protection plus my heals than its YOUR issue not mine." You’re a bad tank/healer/ whatever you think you are, because your build is made for support and you can’t support them.

My build isnt made for support, it was made to make dmg + survival. Your assumptions are just bad.

You are from those “selling p3 10g 80lv 7k AP zerkers no other” lfg type of a player?

Then read what you type again and realize your build is useless in a team setting, and since you don’t bring proper support to a dungeon, there’s no reason to play with you at all over a supportive player. I didn’t make false assumption, I wanted you to say out loud how selfish you were, and how you expect people to carry you with your non supportive build. You accused some pugs of dying, but since you did nothing to help them and work as a team you have absolutely no right to judge them, and they were probably better players than you.

:)

No.

Its just like what, 3% of total world completion? Don’t save this as last bit but hop in every now and then to check if you can reach the missing pois/vistas etc.

All well and good, except there are a lot of people that just don’t like pvp. So they avoid it. It’s not their mode, their play style, and there is nothing wrong with that. People, including Anet, need to respect that everyone plays differently.

Yeah because everyone looooves doing map completion.

/sarcasm

Maybe he was only referring to non crittable bosses?

(I wish)

So I did a se P2 yesterday, we 3 manned it with two newcomers, and it was actually really fun. I’m puzzled. Like, It was easy minus the last boss, we wiped twice I think ( never did this path in about a year and a half), it wasn’t THAT long, bosses were not surprising at all but hey, they were mechanics about reflect, stability and stuff, the escort npc turned around only 3 times… seriously, it’s fun !

I aprove only zerker warriors, 2 in a team is a good thing. but 4 zerkers is too much and dps lose.

Feel free to check out the link in my signature. You can see the dungeon speed run records where everyone in the group is full dps. You can also watch the replays of the last dungeon tournament where everyone in the group is full dps.

The fact that you think everyone in dps gear dies alot and is a waste says more about you and your playskill than some universal truth.

LOL for U man, I dont care if I kill a boss in 3 or 4 minutes. 1 minute don’t mean nothing to me. But if you are a full zerker and you die even with my perma protection plus my heals than its YOUR issue not mine. There are lot of good zerker groups but also there are bad ones. Zerker dont mean a thing if you dont have any skill to back up it with. Being a zerker and being a kitteny one makes you dead in no time and your party frustrated.

Beint terrible at the game makes people frustrated too.

I’m so frustrated right now.

I use it in solo when D/F before landing a fire 3 at the start of the fight/ whenever burning isn’t up to make sure i’ve my 10% modifier up. It’s also useful for tar if you lack burning.

1v1 not balanced? Enlighten me.

The game is balanced around pvp, wich is a team capture type of player versus player gamemode. Specs relying on reseting fights and extra mobility, wich are king of roaming in general, are usually the worst spec possible for pvp ( condi mesmers/thieves for instance), thus they aren’t under the nerfbat. However, in a WwW environment where people can move freely without anything to defend ( at least in duels/roamings) specs with high mobility, stealth uptime, and regen are obviously far stronger.

Some specs are also far more powerful in 1v1 than in group settings. Meditation guards for exemple aren’t welcomed in high level pvp, but it’s a really strong 1v1 spec, countering all melee dps players. GW2 is based on those counters, making most duels a matter of anti-specs. For instance, any warrior will get countered by a med guard, a med guard will get countered by a condi mes, a condi mes will get countered by a terrormancer necro, will…. etc. 1v1 aren’t about position awareness for the most part, making ranged dps specs less effective as well, as gap closers are easy to get and you can’t hide in your teammates. A gs/staff mesmer in WwW is still powerful, but not as much as in a group setting.

Thirdly, the stat imbalance in WwW makes some “meh” builds really powerful. IT allows for tankish and bursty specs at the same time due to more stat spread. Burst dps players are also far more punishing, as an average backstab in WwW from a top geared thief has nothing to do with a spvp one. Guard leechs are also a free 2.5k health, wich is 1 quarter of my health when I roam with my thief. The best 1v1 builds don’t work in team pvp or medium scale WwW either, so it gives an advantage to people speccing for duels whereas a meta player, who can be overall a better player, will loose because he relies on his teammates. I myself play mostly D/P trickery thief in WwW, and I’m far too squishy for duels, and my dps isn’t as over the top as most SA thieves because I sacrifice my dps for team utility and focus ( boonhate, interrupt, group stealth for safe stomping and ressing)

Finally, a duel also has a fair part of luck in it, and seeing a tied duel ending by a dual air/Fire sigil proc isn’t entertaining to watch. There’s also all the environment play, and even if using the terrain is an intelligent move, it can inbalance classes without access to easy ways of “exploiting” ( read it in a sarcastic way) the mobs and heights around.

Even though I love duels, and will get involved in some for fun, winning a duel and winning an actual fight are two different things, and anet tend to support the later for balance.

Disclaimer: it’s probably full of typos but I hate reading myself, sorry in advance.

But.. If you’re a tank, you should be taking aggro and no squishy dps should die, because you’re here to protect them right? Would that mean… horrified stance your extra toughness is useless for your teammates? * screams, cries, lots of people dying in the background*

2 zerker warriors? Come on, 4 war 1 mes is the meta. Absolute best dps in the game, especially if there’s one shout heal for that op regen and everyone is running ruby orbs ( more crit chance). Mesmer should be healing mantra, prismatic understanding staff/ scepter torch condi: 1 condi user is mandatory to boost the team dps, don’t listen to those zerker elitists. Everyone plays gs/ rifle but I feel like a melee weapon is kinda exploitive so I run longbow/ rifle.

I don’t know how to feel about that thread. That guy is either a master troll or just an idiot ( or both?).

“Wow that’s really different”

And it sucks

cya

4/6/2/0/2 for maximum scepter dps with UC. 4/6/2/0/2 is usable with a gs s/f spec as well. My average ww in solo are 12-16k on abom and 20k on light armor, I’m ascended berserker everywhere . However, guardians are not so good at might stacking and fury stacking. IF you can’t reliably maintain your aegis and you don’t need MoC, move the 2 virtues points in either zeal or valor. If your plan is to really focus on solo, get a bunch of assassin gear.

Only IV members can hug sesshi, sorry.

Everyone hates running arah, even soloers. It’s a love hate relationship, you basically spend hours raging at the rng and then you restart because it felt good. Learn to like it and balance yourself between love an hate, young padawan.

It fits what I like more than the others I guess ( wow I’m such on topic)

Make an EU account and level to 80 then

I can’t think of a reason to not implement that ( excluding the time taken to do it, obviously). Nice and simple idea, and since it’s an option it wouldn’t hurt anyone. Good stuff.

Hi, I’m not NA so I can’t help you, but there’s the noob guild:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/dungeons/Dungeon-Mentors-Noob/first

I highly recommend those people, they are the perfect teachers for anyone willing to learn.

Tokens mainly. And it’s different buyers everytime. But I wouldn’t advice selling those days, kickers are even more agressive than before, and it takes time to fill a group. Even at the best hours, it’s about 5-10 min average if you’re lucky. The absolute max gold per hour is playing the trading post, but that’s not something you’ll learn in a day.

Good music for once :>

So, you hate this game, you find it too hard ( leeeeeel), but since you spent 35$ on it, you have to suffer the playing. Nah. The game has flaws, a lot of flaws, and the toughness isn’t one of those. The combat system is actually one of the best out there and the main reason for many players to still be around. You’re just a bad player and you refuse to learn, then accuse the game. A dozen of people offered advices for you and you just keep hitting your head against the game.

Mainly because stacking might outside of combat is a time loss.

You’re loosing about 35% dps ( loss of a 10% sigil, 10% multiplier, about 5% overall from virtues 25, strenght runes instead of scholar and less power and precision from both traits and runes) for offensive support, wich isn’t the guardian role. This build would work in pugs obviously, but retrait if you plan to play with good players.

Also, since you rely on precision, assassin instead of berserker is the way to go. Especially since this is a pug build and you can lack fury. You’re sitting at 86% crit chance with banner of discipline and fury, that’s low.

Don’t worry, the new system will avoid confusion for new players, by stealing their mechanics and time gating things you should learn at level 1.

For ascended armor, go berserker/ assassin. Ascended armor is only useful for the agony gain, the stat you get are ridiculously low. Trinkets, depend on your playstyle, berserker for pve, knight/valkyrie for www.

Laulajatar.4253:

Have any of you ever heard of Zhaitan bugging out at the end fight?
I was trying to buy story earlier (well, it IS boring!) and when the party filled the seller could not finish the path. I got suspicious after he “went to google how to finish” and ported to the Glory of Tyria wp. Zhaitan was there, but the cannons could not be activated.
Was he just really unlucky?

Didn’t get my gold back, either and the guy lied in lfg about the “last spot” which made me waste half an hour, too, waiting for buyers. So much for trusting sellers >>

I never heard of any bypass in arah story, but I obviously don’t spend my time loosing half an hour to check those. However, as you lost an arah story path, I can give you one back for free to make sure you don’t think all sellers are bad individuals, provided you’re EU.

PVP isn’t about duels at all. Who told you that?

There’s no worthless classes, only worthless players. Some have more difficulties than others, and engi isn’t one of those. They are top tier in pvp, good/great in pve, and a good addition to 5-15 man roaming. For the animation part, I don’t know, I feel like they are fine.

Empowering might is more of a pvp trait. Traiting into honor is a high dps loss if you’re not hammer with WoPersistence. Shortly put, you’re loosing too much dps for not enough support.
