Guild Wars 2

Contiguous.1345:

Not a problem to my Guardian.
Pop stability, pick up the gifts and run like kitten!

OTOH, it’s no fun at all on classes with no stability. Poor design IMO.

Only class without stability for that would be thief and they can just shadow refuge their way though.

Try necro.
Edit: the box rewards = crap.

maciora.9542:

Armor 3000-3100. Life 27k .

A lot of tanky tank face to face burning with protections traits (from amor and alchemy line).

Does it help you survive the hammer train / blob vs blob aoe?

Rhalas.4167:

Whats a net turret?

http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Net_Turret

I have been doing 2-3 dungeons / day for the past 2 weeks(99% pugs). I have been in party with an engineer once(p/s + nades).
In my guild(40-80 active people daily) we have 1 active engineer that mostly is afk or in WvW.

So there are no builds / setups that would work in a blob? Say p/p soldier or something like that?

Andele.1306:

b) Lich form does the highest DPS.

Is it? How does it compare to Dagger + locust?
The attack speed is good indeed, would love to see that speed for DS…

come on you pvp nightmares ;D

Self buff:

I disagree.
Full zerk necro dmg before was mediocre AT BEST compared to MANY other professions. Now it will be even less.
The added clueless “fixes” were the last drops. For me.

Andele.1306:

like 36-50k damage on usually a 10-15s cd

lol ok gl

Hello,
I am trying to find some video footage – Thief PoV – involving dungeons / general PvE.
Youtube’s filters and search selection is silly. If you guys have something helpful please reply here.
Thank you.

Banjal.7328:

It is telling me to move on to something else,I have lost all hope with the balance team.Each update is getting worse and we still have skills that have been broke from day one.

what he said.

a question from a non mesmer:
I watched a few youtube videos with phantasm mesmers in dungeons. Some were using the pistol duelist, some the axe warden guy.

In a boss fight, they don’t seam very good at dealing dmg: the pistol guy shoots very rarely and the warden (well both of them) tend to die pretty fast to aoe dmg.

So why would one spec this way?

Mario Lemieux.9107:

Gosh this game has come a long way…down.

Yes sadly it has.
Look on the bright side, not much time left until the 4’th of April.

Lexandro.1456:

For WvW? Tbh I wouldnt bother, and I main a ranger and play WvW most times. Better off with another class that a commander will ask for.

well in wvw 80% of zergz use hammers, with a healthy dose of meteor showers and veils.
=> you got 4 choices, and 3 if you want to make lots of bags.

boring and dull btw.

Hello,
What setup should one use in WvW if he is in a zerg? That is, how should one best:
– tag ppl
– have a few escape tools

Thx

you could start by reading the threads on the first page.

Is this kitten for kittening real!?

ADIOS kittening necromancer.

it was a joke.

Message Body length must at least be 15.

I do WvW and PvE (dungeons).

I feel that GW2 is a very unbalanced game, in regard to the professions DPS output and Utility.

Warr / Guard vs Eng / Necro ?

In WvW it’s just the size of the zerg.

Well either you spamm nades or elixirs…
It’s been an eternity since I saw an impressive eng in my daily dungeon runs (pugs).

note: my main in not eng, I just came to this sub-forum to check if there are viable(good dmg ) PvE builds that can help my group in a dungeon, and do not involve mindlessly spammin nades / elixirs.
So far I did not find anything decent, but I’ll keep looking.

Killian.1439:

What’s suppose to happen in April?

Ehehe good question. Will we still be here after the 4’th of April?
We will see.

Nike Porphyrogenita.8137:

Atse, if zerker doesn’t require skill perhaps you can post a video showing how brainless and easy it is to melee a few of the fractal bosses at 49, like Mossman or Archdiviner. Surely, since it’s so easy, you could do that in full zerker no problem.

There’s no point, seeing as he has trouble meleeing alphard, and can’t even solo lupi.

hm… elitism?… in gw2… k…

You should have read what atse talks about how easy Lupi can be done (with his autoway) but in fact cannot do it himself. It is not elitism. It’s a reminder that atse deliberately demean one the most challenging bosses in dungeons to make ridiculous his arguments sound.

yeah…. I’m kinda sorry I landed on this forum / section of forum anyway.
The last time I ran Arah was 1 year ago.

@Ghostextechnica you really should not compare the Warrior to the Necro… In any way.

Numu Boltar.6105:

“1-4 exotics per 2.5 hours” – is this just me – or is this just a liddle bit too high for a single player droprate ? If i remember correctly, my droprate would be 1 exotic per 5-8h.

uh… where / what do you guys kill to find exotics?…

weekly bump.

15 chars

1). join the other 80% of the GW2 population and roll a Warr or a Guard
2). bye GW2

Hello mesmers,
I have checked a few of the guides linked on the first page and some are pretty old (4-6 months since the last post / update).

I am looking for builds that would not use shatter or conditions. That would be the Phantasms builds right?

Any up to date analysis of this kind of builds?
Thank you.

Sauzo.6821:

Problem is even a “meh” guard or warrior will still bring enough utility to make up for subpar dps where as a “good” necro will only bring subpar warrior dps and no utility.

this.

Bhawb.7408:

snip
is very selfish
snip

This is my main gripe with the necro prof.

Lightsbane.9012:

i could be optimistic and hope we get a melee weapon with a leap.

You have to be realistic about this kind of things… more than 1 year has passed, check how we “evolved”.

Until we get “Leap” you can use the spectral walk / worm / different other tricks to try to evade the hammer train.

if they fix skipping (and I doubt they are able to, since we saw what their limits are) who will want to spend 1h in a dungeon for 1g and 60 tokens?

TheBlackLeech.9360:

HykCraft.4610:

Guild Wars 2 Dungeons = stacking in a corner to win the game.

Do you blame this on people doing maximum possible damage or poor enemy AI?

I blame it on AN.

True, the cone angle is dodgy. IMO.

Stand The Wall.6987:

As a necro its a given that 3-5 condis will be on your target at all times.

Very very very subjective statement.

Juba.8406:

Necro is in godly shape PvE, PvP and WvW.

You should post on the necro forums, people there seam to think that the necro is in a crappy state, but I guess you know something that they don’t.

ArrDee.2573:

the playstyle depends on the build, and there are really dozens of build to choose from; anything from glass cannon heavy burst, to sustained damage skirmisher, to hybrid power and conditions, to full on conditions, and even to unkillable bunkers.

The problem is 99% of those builds are just “Fun” to play, but Not Really effective at killing things.

very nice. what ability was doing the 5-8k hits?

spoj.9672:

in a group where buffs are equal necro will beat warrior for(at?) dps

I find that very hard to stomach. Can you please provide some video links?

mahariel.4981:

So I just did some quick testing

My greatsword chain did a total of 3,448 DPS
My axe chain did a total of 3,780 DPS.

I logged my guard and dealt the following:
2,916 DPS with sword autoattack chain
3,402 with greatsword autoattack chain.

Also, all weapons used are capable of cleave. So warrior DPS isn’t as overpowered as you think it is.

now do some tests with:
Ranger
Necro
Engineer

good luck.

Munster.3058:

How we doing in PvE

Uh after I got comfortable with my full zerk necro, I watched a bit of yuotube… If you are like me and invested all your laureals in zerk necro gear DO NOT watch how warrs / thiefs / guards do it (say CoF P1 since it’s easy and fast).

As Sand Dan Glokta said: “Why do I do it?”

I am still looking / hoping

okay thank you.

EU player here, currently on Blackgate. Looking for an US home that has a few EU players also.
Let me know, thx.

Same here, I’m on GMT time, currently on Blackgate, but looking for a guild that has a few EU players.
Let me know, thx.

As the title says, please let me know if you know of any Guild from an US server that is able to run Guild missions accessible for an EU player.

Thank you.

Really? rainbows?
Great thinking once again AN.

I use 3 sets of 2 runes that give more might duration.

MercyKilling.8519:

Meh. It has its moments.

For me, it’s mostly just a placeholder until 4/4/14 and Elder Scrolls Online comes out.

you are not alone

X + 0.1% * X > X. If you think that the 0.1 is something you don’t need, then that’s your business.

It would be a good news for me, it will make it easier to quit this buggy and awkward profession and reroll.
I hope it happens soon, cause I’m sick of AN’s “balancing” and “fixes” for us.
