Guild Wars 2

I don’t understand either.

My dagger build is getting buffed in dec. So makes a nice change.

Yeah I think the biggest issue is no armour rules just draw out fights for too long and it becomes rather boring. The other rules you set were fine imo.

Its already a very boring fight solo with no gimping.

Difference is mesmer has very situational dps. Due to clones dieing. So if you dont need the utility they are a really bad choice to take. Whereas other classes can atleast provide decent dps at all times.

Silentstorm.7531:

With all that said numbers wise. Wouldn’t it take more resources to go a crit damage build. Then using a raw damage build? I’m just looking at this in a passer by sense.

Not sure what you mean by that. But damage modifiers > crit damage which is why most dps builds dont bother with points in valor. The damage modifiers are in other trait lines and are more important. This is because the base damage is multiplied by the damage modifiers and then that is multiplied by the crit modifier.

You need to use it as early as possible once the tell starts. It lasts long enough pretty easily so just get use to the start of the tell and cast as fast as possible.

Theres no hope for colesy. He probably has over 9000 infractions by now. 90% probably from the mesmer forums. Amirite?

I bet they didnt expect that use while teaching it though haha.

Thats my favourite audio phrase. Leave it how it is!

Making axe 3 a blast finisher would be a massive step forward for necros in pve. Heck making warhorn 4/5 a blast finisher should also be considered.

It makes me thankful that mines only 300 seconds. Hoping it will go away by the time i post up my guide though. :P

@ProtoGunner

What are you smoking? Can i have some?

Best mobs for knockdowns are risen gorillas in arah. 6 second knockdowns. So much fun being stuck with no stunbreak just hoping you can dodge after getting up just before they do the knockdown again.

Im guessing you were bored Bright?

They dont use blowout if you are in melee. The projectile defense prevents the ones you arent attacking from hitting you with blowout and crippling arrows. There is no excuse not to stack melee. Even if you all get knocked off its better to be grouped and prevent them going invuln than taking 20mins longer because you cant kill them.

Warrior is a good safe choice, and so is ele if you can get use to how squishy they are. You can then swap to thief for stealthing on dredge if your group needs it. Also mesmer can be used as mimic bot. All 4 classes you listed can be useful so you may aswell just pick one you prefer on jade maw and use that most of the time. And swap to whatever you need.

If you want to use dagger and play melee dont use the DS build. Use mine.

Facepalmed.

Im not sure how those were nasty replies. They were simply the hard truth.

Staff is a really good utility/skipping weapon. I dont ever use gs anymore as its pointless. Also with staff you can troll teammates in arah. People carefulling avoiding risen illusionists? Pop chaos storm on their heads. Watch them panic dodge and almost die of shock.

I just shout YOLO and run. Works everytime.

Holy bear is watching you.

Im still waiting for you to severely discipline your bear!

Yeah id consider taking it more if it auto healed when killed. The fact that we cant even get some ui to display minion hp bars is incredibly annoying.

My biggest issue is I cant decide what class to get ascended on first. And once i decide I also have to decide what skins I want. Bah why do we have to have ascended. :P

I just shout YOLO and run. Works everytime.

For necro use plague and spectral walk. If plagues on cd your pretty kittened if you get stunlocked though. If its just one inquest stunlocking you can ds fear to interrupt though. Well of darkness also works. I just prefer to plague blind because of stability and perma blind.

Thats a myth. Most of the sellers solo or duo the paths and sell. The problem is atm 90% of path 2 sellers skip lupi.

Meh can still do it.

Dolan.3071:

RIP in peace Mesmer.

NOOOO!! Actually, after spoj or hybrid (can’t remember) linked me the rt run, already switching from mes to thief. So…. whatever.

Dw mesmer still good for mimic bot.

Dagger is higher dps than both. Its just not piercing. You cant say they beat dagger just because if they hit 2 mobs they do more damage. Thats a completely invalid arguement. Life blast is so slow even with 100% crit chance it doesnt beat dagger dps at a respectable 70% crit chance. Were talking single target because thats the only thing worth considering.

Or dagger deals more. Which it does.

Drarnor Kunoram.5180:

Never heard of Malfactryn?

Yeah it looks crap.

Marjorys dagger looks awesome however:

Because I only use dagger and the only time Lich form is remotely useful to me is on ice elemental/dredge powersuit.

When they explained what we were voting for. I believe it was casually mentioned on the forums by devs multiple times that it would be developed later in the year and released along with molten facility and aetherblade retreat. Was months back so ill be kitten ed if i can find the actual posts though.

Xar.6185:

Hmmm….

Am I the only one who thinks it will only be just 1 more fractal for the rotation?
The thaumanova reactor fractal being the one and that it will just be a regular fractal to bring the total to 10 plus Jade Maw?

I really, really don’t see them adding molten facility, aetherblade retreat and thaumanova reactor at the same time. I also don’t see them messing with the 4th fractal for even levels.

Meh… maybe I’m wrong, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

They said they would add all 3 at the same time. Theres no reason why they cant. Molten and aetherblade only need minor reworks to make them fractals. Thaumanova is new and will be the majority of the workload. But for a single LS release 2 altered instances and a brand new 1 isnt any more work than the nightmare tower stuff tbh.

You wont get banned for sending gold via mail. You may get flagged if it happens a lot and too often, which can result in a ban. If its completely legit and you do get a ban you can submit a ticket and get it resolved. :P

The more people taking defensive gear in zergs the worse it gets. Scaling is screwed up and with 90% of people hitting like a wet noodle its no wonder they take so long to kill anything. Also being glassy in a zerg is completely safe. You have 100s of meatshields and 100s of people ready to revive you in an instant. Use healing signet, i believe that counters toxin pretty well.

Pinkey Flowery.7018:

I’m curious as to whether the jumping puzzle that let’s you skip Balthazar and Melandru is fixed.

Its not.

My favourites are pics 1 and 4. Is 4 drawn from the tablet? If so you should definately have more confidence in yourself because it looks really good.

If you were to take commissions/requests what would you need to start? Just a screenshot or multiple with different angles?

Im not entirely sure but isnt one of the reasons Lich form is bad is because it butchers your crit damage. Also dagger is way better unless you use some pvt spec.

butchering crit damage? do you mean a change in crit damage calculation? because the actual crit damage value (in the char screen) stays the same (minus the weapon stats, i think).

I swear it use to reduce the crit damage. But maybe that was just when downscaled. Downscaling already completely butchers crit damage without transformations.

Im not entirely sure but isnt one of the reasons Lich form is bad is because it butchers your crit damage. Also dagger is way better unless you use some pvt spec.

And according to wiki base power is tripled and base precision doubled.

:/
Replacing life blast is something id like to turn off. It looks stupid on legendaries and it looks stupid on these. Normal life blast looks way better.

Dagger is awesome. Originally it was corrupted shard or nothing else for decent dagger skins. Now we have a nice new skin with some cool effects.

With a low crit chance power food will better because even with boosted precision you arent going to crit often enough to make it overtake the increase in dps from power. Using effective power is the best way to find whats best. Its very slightly different when comparing beserker builds with dps traitlines. Almost neglible in some cases.

Jeremlloyd.6837:

Or you can use some magic stealth cough skrit’s magic cough

Shhhhh!

XacTactX.6709:

Could you explain how the glitch was done, and how it made the fight easier? PRL 39 and never heard of this.

You use to be able to stand behind maws head and use life steal to kill him really fast. Dark fields + ice bow killed him in seconds. Caused bugs if you got him right down to zero or killed him before killing the colossi though.

Yeah you should have your skills off cd by the end. Its going to be slightly more involved now as you cant lose aggro on the boat.

No more necro op :<

Yeah ill post it in this subforum and link it in my sig. I have it pretty much done but theres no point posting it until the patch actually arrives. Patch isnt for a month so will be a while. Ill put the current build back in my sig for now.

Lich isnt better than dagger so its kind of pointless.

:O never seen that before. But it looks like it misses people even when they dont dodge or move and it looks like an uncommon attack even for a full ranged group. So I think its safe to say its still easier to range effigy because you dont have to dodge the burn and you have more time to react to the other attacks.
