Both are in higher level zones. Owls are in Snowden Drifts in the SE corner, and for the salamander drake (the fire one I assume) are in Blazeridge Steppes, there’s a little canyon full of them south of a river if I remember correctly. Owls may be easier to get, as for the drakes, you’ll probably die before you get to them.
You just need to leave from Plain of Ashford and stay on the road to avoid mobs to get there. The drakes attack are very slow so it shouldn’t be hard to dodge them.
Looking for the Good Tier builds which are not in the meta. The good tier build doesn’t have to be more powerful than the meta build. Just builds that can handle itself well with almost equally skilled players with meta builds. These builds can fulfill a role well but other professions can do it better.
Meaning, if GW2 added a gw2pvx , these builds will make it into the good section.
Edge of Destiny spoilers: 5 years before the start of GW2, Ebon Vanguard used Crossbow to defend themselves against the Invaders.
If ANet added crossbows, it shouldn’t be a new weapon type. It would be much easier to just replace rifles with crossbow skins. Just like the slingshot for the shortbow.
When a player interrupts a boss with defiance stack, the boss takes extra damage. If a player interrupts a boss that no longer has any defiance stack, the boss takes a huge hit. 10%, 20%, 50%, 99% hp damage or whatever the devs feel is balanced. Notice: It must have an interrupt message to take extra damage.
Why?
It probably will never hurt FGS 4 spam, It probably will never hurt the meta DPS build. But, It will give useless weapons a purpose, worth, and the skill to use.
This suggestion would be the easiest to balance as it doesn’t really change from a gameplay standpoint, and that it only involves number changing.
I would replace Vital striking for Tempest defense.
Tempest Defense helps protects me from random thieves with basilisk venom coming in to gank me. With good positioning, the real danger is only these thieves that can go over the obstacles with ease through shadowstepping.
What I always tend to do is place Lava font right on top of downed players. Lava font hits like a truck. It is basically a ranged Hundred blades. Ressers will try to res their allies. But instead, they die trying because of the massive damage. Lava font outdps the player’s heals so it is incredibly hard for players to get their team up. Even if there is no one around to res the downed player, lava font will melt the downed player very quickly. Additionally, most Downed players can’t move. Lava font has very low cooldown. The point is: There is low risk and high reward just by putting lava font directly on the downed player, even randomly.
Wow. WOW! You dare to mock me when you have no idea what you are talking about?
Warriors/Rangers/Guardians/Necromancer/Mesmer/thieves have to go to their inventory and take their mobility weapon out too if they want to switch it out from their fighting weapon set.
Wow. WOW! You do know that not everyone has them in the inventry. Most actually run with them. The amount of times i have been fighting Warriors and them use GS to run away shows that people do use “mobility” weapons for combat as well.
A few warriors with a GS means most warrior/rangers/mesmers/necromancers/guardians runs with a mobility weapon. So smart! And that is why D/D ele and triple kit engies should get a out of combat weapon set instead of Axe and board warriors/GS mesmers/Longbow ranger/Scepter and dagger necro/pistol and dagger thieves.
They don’t deserve to get out of combat switch. They should be clicking on the inventory like a plebian while Ele and engies should be able to click on a button to instantly switch because they are the special snowflake.
Why can’t Warriors/Rangers/Guardians/Necromancer/Mesmers/Thieves get a out of combat weapon slot too? Why should engineers and Elementalist be the special snowflake?
>_>… cause you already can do that with any other class…

GW1 Paragon; its definitely the most unique class I have ever played in a mmorpg. Even Dervish and Ritualist and are not as unique IMO because they simply feel like scout and pet classes in other games.
What we lack:
- an ‘evil’ heavy class: Executioner? Punisher? Blackguard?
- technology/magic mix: Tinker? Alchemist?
- non-heavy melee class: Brawler? This is partly filled by warrior.
- heavy ranged class: Paragon-like,
Dye the warrior/guardian’s armor black and you have an evil heavy class.
Elementalist if you want technology mage. Just get the Adamant weapon set + mechanical backpiece + Fused guantlets + Sorrow Embrace armor. If you want alchemy/tinkering stuff, there is engineer.
Ranger/thieves
Warrior with Longbow or Rifle/Guardian with Scepter.
Why can’t Warriors/Rangers/Guardians/Necromancer/Mesmers/Thieves get a out of combat weapon slot too? Why should engineers and Elementalist be the special snowflake?
They have a weapon swap feature that works in combat and out of combat???
Elementalist has four set of weapon slots to switch to IN and OUT of combat.
Engineer has the capacity to swap between 4 weapon slots IN and OUT of combat. They have the ability to swap instantly too.
Warriors/Mesmer/Guardian/Thieves/Ranger has only two weapon slots and Necromancers have only 3.
Now, why should Elementalist/Engineer be the special snowflake again?

I love the dungeon/regional reward track. It gave me something to work for. Now, that I have everything, I want something more to pursue. Please add Living Story Reward track.
They just need to give necros are couple of leap options and be done with it then they will be like every other class. Right now they are expected to be this super tanking class with no mobility. They got the no mobility part right but the amount they tank doesn’t not make up for the lack of mobility.
The fact that you have to trigger the moves during the channeling of a stomp is proof enough that these skills are not intended to be used like that. And though there are counter for it seems like the chances of a perfect counter are not only going to be found. And the suggestion of “don’t die play better” is a stupid suggestion.
ok better suggestion.
Go play more, get better, and die less..
Or.
Go play league of legends and complain about dying there…
OORRrr..
Go play an Ele and come back and tell us how easy they were for you to play,
I disagree with everything about Map voting. I don’t want to bother with this trash. I don’t want to fill a survey. I don’t want pop ups on my gameplay. I just want to get on and play.
Just fix the maps that players dislike and everyone will forget about this issue.
I think the first big step is just making life siphoning work period. Then we can do things like introducing traits that allow it to work through DS, or maybe making specific healing mechanics (mainly self-traited ones) work through DS.
I think that healing mechanics work through DS will balance out the abysmal healing. Unholy sacrifice is a good trait. It just needs some little help.
My sister can not log in because it requires a two way mobile authentication.
Someone placed that authentication on her account without our knowledge. I suspect a hacker did it because last month someone changed her password and took all her stuff and gold so we quickly changed the password when we realized it. She did not know about the existence of the two way mobile authentication. But the hacker did and placed a two way mobile authentication. Now she can’t log on.
I would like to give more of my sister’s account information to account support to prove it. I just want a way to remove the two mobile authentication so we can put it ourselves.
edit: all other avenues have zero risk. You don’t lose gold doing dungeons or champ trains
I never heard anyone having a “net loss” investing the TP.
Sure I took a beating from zealot recipe. But I’m sure almost everyone gain more than they loss.
It’s not like it is hard to speculate. Oh buy leather, ships coming back again. Oh this item going to discontinue after event is over. So hard to guess if the item price will go up. I only hope the real life stock market is that easy.
Beside even the developer trying to help the investors make money. “oh we want people to do long turn investment, because it is fun”… so not likely we’ll make people loss money from it.
I bought hundreds of sigil of force. Then some kitten gave the secret for cheap sigil of force and I lost a lot of money.
If playing how you want infringes on someone else playing how they want, nothing will ever be solved. Inspect someone and see they have their own build and aren’t zerker, kick right away without even saying anything. Am I doing it right?
Also DPS meters? Really? In a game that basically just consists of 5 man groups of all DPS, I don’t think DPS meters are needed in the least other than to stroke Berserker’s kitten and the need to see the big numbers. And yes, I understand you said nothing about Berserker, but that is honestly how your post comes off.
1. The other way around works too. If someone else plays how they want which I don’t approve, it will infringe on how I play how I want if I let them in my party. In this case, if you don’t want to take the time to equip for the right equipment in my party, then create your own party that accepts anybody even with lower gear levels.
2. There are people that wants to find the highest DPS ever and then there are people like me. I will need DPS meters to know how much DPS I have for this build. I can choose to sacrifice DPS for utility if I need to. Let say that I want to use Ranger Axe/Axe build. First I look for the highest dps possible, then I shave off the dps for utility/survivability if I choose to. There are builds for highest DPS for warriors; however, they all use Greatsword or axe/mace, yet there are no builds for highest mace DPS build. As a mace guy, I assure that it will reinforce on playing how I want.
And this is exactly why it doesn’t exist. Those people who don’t like a person’s build so they just kick them? Yeah, that’s you. The elitism just drips from your post. Sorry that you feel the need to approve of other player’s builds. The “right equipment” isn’t decided by anybody other than the player.
You missed the part where using whatever gear that will hurt the party dps will infringe on my playstyle. It is my party, I created the LFG with the title: “Zerker and experienced only!” I do not want to invite any players that will waste unnecessary time in the dungeon run with DPS so low, it will take for hours to complete.
If you don’t like the way how I play, make your own party. You don’t need to join my party. It cost 0 gold 0 silver 0 copper to make your own lfg. I do create and join parties that accept anyone. These parties do exist and there are players willing to join these parties.
I didn’t miss it though. If you made the party and said “zerker only etc” and that person doesn’t meet that criteria and joined party anyway, then certainly kick them. If the group said Ping gear and they don’t, then kick them. My points are for groups that don’t specifically state what criteria they want in a group, but simply inspect their gear and automatically assume they’re bad. For groups with specifically stated criteria that some scrub joins anyway, by all means kick their butt out.
…versus players looking at their achievement points and automatically assume that they are bad?
Mesmers Eles and Warriors are hard-countered by thieves. Unfortunately, there are lots of hard-counters in this game (on average: Necro > Engi, Warrior > Necro, Thief > Warrior, Engi > Thief, etc.).
This is, of course, assuming an equal skill level of the players.
Warrior hard countered by thieves ? lol ? In what world ? I’m a trash warrior and I kill thieves with no effort at all.
Then all you did was fight trash thieves.
A good thief would never let you damage them at all with evade/blind/shadowstep/stealth spam. Their DPS can outdamage your healing signet and kill you.
So its logical to instead bring everything else up to the match the
disproportional element. Well. That mindset certainly worked out well for Guild Wars pvp back in the day.
The new player bit can be argued many different ways. Catacombs is the Queensdale of dungeons, and it pretty much suffers similar issues when you bring up new players. Perhaps even more so, considering no other dungeon compares in reward/time/difficulty ratio.
Crying nerf is also fairly meaningless. Was HotW1 nerfed by adding the AC troll? Was SE nerfed by making the blockades unavoidable? TA-Foward, with the silly wall-climb? Most dungeons have similar things these days. All of which decrease the challenge, speed up the run, and further that reward gap.
Right now, a number of dungeon bosses do not use their most devastating abilities if a group stacks. That is silly, and the very definition of exploiting a weak AI. Why exactly would you want this to continue, let alone be the most rewarding venue of play? “Stack in corner, collect gold” is a fairly crappy game.
Ignoring the poorly worded insults. ANet has the data. They can and will do what they will with the rates. What I’m telling them is that as a player, this too easy and too good to pass up. And that raises some pretty severe concerns about the lifespan of the game.
You can rant, pout and insult all you like. But most dungeons do take less time and skill than about any other aspect in the game , yet pay out considerably more. That hardly seems a good thing.
But I am sorry if that upsets your tinfoil hats, or “I hate this game/company yet continue to play!” sensibilities.
Do AC p1/p3, SE p1/p3, TA FFkitten HotW p1 dungeon, those “easy” dungeons, with only a group of players that has less than 1000 ap and is doing the dungeon for the first time. I want to know how long it takes till you realize you are wrong. Oh, and bonus round: No instructing the players on how to play.
I’d rather see a special weapon added for each class. Something they and only they can use, with special things to do in order to craft and/or upgrade it.
And remember, you are completely free to build a guild or group of like minded friends who also wish to minmax their dungeon runs and you can play with the same group of people day to day. And that way you can always be sure people are geared properly without having to check

Oh good, so you agree with my reasoning that the current system is sufficient to accommodate players of all play styles and that we don’t need gear inspection or dps meters in order to do so!
Everyone pack everything up! The debate has been solved!
Yes, I agree. Which means you can play dungeons even with gear inspection and dps meters implemented. Just find your own group.
Yeah, Im 99.9% sure Id never get a group if someone saw my stats like that. I use my shortbow the vast majority of the time in dungeons because its the only weapon i feel I can use for most situations, but its not overly strong. As a thief Ive set up using mostly power, precision and toughness. Its not right for someone to kick me from a group just because they don’t like how I set up to play.
So make your own group. Only you get to care how you want your group to play or they get kicked.
It cost 0 gold 0 silver 0 copper to create your own lfg.
99% of the time, I never see the zerker/exp/level 80 parties. Should I put up and join the casual parties? No. I create my own lfg and watch how fast it fills up.
But you are effectively forcing the community into 2 groups.
I can understand why you would want such a feature, but a simple DPS meter doesn’t truly relate to skill or effectiveness. Maybe I am good at staying alive and can quickly res people? You don’t know that. Maybe I just cant afford the best gear? I’m not rich, and only have about 6-7 gold consistently. I may be wearing all exotic armor, but my accessories are mostly rares, because the exotic versions are stupidly expensive. I do have 2 ascended accessories, and am working on an ascended weapon, but you are proposing to castrate me from 50% of the groups because I’m not a power player with tons of money to buy all the best equipment. I know how to play PvE content, and I’m fairly good at staying alive, but you and your proposed DPS meter wouldn’t even allow me to prove my worth simply because a number wasn’t high enough for your standards.
You: “I’m sorry, you are X class, so you should be using Y armor and have Z stats. I don’t want you.”
Well kitten you too. I don’t want to play with a judgmental prick anyway.
Me: "I put up a message with high dps only. Please read. I don’t want you. " /kicks
You: “Well, I don’t have high dps, I guess I should make my OWN group.” /create lfg. “Wow, this group fills up very fast! I knew that making my own group is the best idea.”
And remember, you are completely free to build a guild or group of like minded friends who also wish to minmax their dungeon runs and you can play with the same group of people day to day. And that way you can always be sure people are geared properly without having to check

How come no one ever says – find or create a guild. Seriously, if you are in a group of like minded people you surely don’t have to inspect their gear, right? Elite Dungeoneers code of honour, I shall not do less than one gazillion DPS (pm me, I am selling the copyright to that slogan).
There is nothing wrong with that! Get together and finally play with other maximum efficiency oriented people, there are bound to be enough to warrant a 24/7 coverage?!
For the record, I’m all for it btw, best thing that could ever happen, because it would save my time and your time. No hard feelings from my side.
However, deep down inside you know the potential for drama and negative emotions.

I would like to see these two things in game. By allowing players like me use these tools, you are making it possible for us to “play how we want”. What’s wrong with being able to control the quality of player that I let into my party?
I would also like to see more instanced content.
Yes, play how YOU want by forcing others to play how YOU want. Right. I’m sorry, but gear inspection is unnecessary, and damage meters are just as useless.
Quality of player is not dictated by wearing zerker, and dealing 92384756932476234987562349875639487562349875 damage. You want to find a quality player? Run the dungeon. The player fails miserably and dies to easy stuff? Bad quality. Player stays alive through stuff that you die to? Better quality.

Quality of player is not dictated by wearing zerker, and dealing 92384756932476234987562349875639487562349875 damage, but it will shorten the time from 2 hour run to a 10 minute run if the player is good with the zerker. A good player in cleric will deal almost no damage. Bad quality. Player stays alive and does HUGE damage? Better quality.
