It’s 5 AM and I woke up like one hour ago with a terrible toothache. At this point I’m ready to make a sacrifice to some god in order for it to stop.

Thief’s role in fractals? Shadow refuge to revive allies

I’m really into Dragon Age lately, God, it’s so addicting.

Ping? And delay information in milliseconds displayed somewhere? I know the idea of the tool is completely different but it might be useful.

EcoRI.9273:

Reward is also subjective just saying.

Are you saying that someone prefers mob loot above the dungeon reward or champion bags? By the time you kill all mobs, you can farm a lot of champ bags at SW. The reward is much much better.

What if I tell you that some players enjoy the feeling of accomplishment of completely clearing a dungeon? Isn’t that a reward too? No one said that the term reward automatically means stuff that fills your inventory.

That’s why Eco said ‘subjective’.

One of the first things I’ve been taught when I joined GW almost an year ago was – you can melee everything. Period.

Dub & Frifox, do you think it’d be possible to implement delay to the server information within the tool? Lately I’m having huge issues with lag spikes which makes me get teared apart when trying to solo bosses like Lupi?

Because KING accepted my kazul application and now I get carried by them even though I suck kitten.

Jeez, look at the General Discussions and the outrage about the April’s Fool Joke. Whoa, some people really should grow up.

NumenorLord.6539:

On a side note, everytime you run a fractal with soldier gear, God kills a little bunny. With a sledgehammer. Hitting him in the head. With no mercy. Pounding him again and again. Until you can’t even tell that it used to be a rabbit there.

Thank God I only run Nomads, phew. Can’t tell how many bunnies I’ve saved.

EcoRI.9273:

anet watched the trio tourney and was like “no team wiped at lupi?! time for a stealth buff”

I actually laughed

I’m fine with that change, it’d be interesting to find a workaround for it BUT ONLY IF they actually make the kittening bolts follow some logical trajectory. Dodge here, dodge there, BANG one-shot from some invisible bolt…

Well, you could have fought him from … behind .. right …

Wait .. that sounded much better in my head ..

You’re welcome You might want to also look into staff builds and gameplay since different situations require different actions.

Nice, good job \o/

kitten , that crotch is … weird.

Iris Ng.9845:

Some little changes can be made (not all at once):

- Use a Dagger/Focus build
- Use an Energy sigil
- Switch to 66002 for more Vigor on Crit
- Add more block and/or stun break: Arcane Shield or Signet of Air for roaming
- Always stay at max melee range (300)
- So you can observe the enemy’s tell and dodge. Usually try to dodge the ones that have long winded animation
- Use Lightning Hammer or Sandstorm against a group of mob
- Use Glyph of Elemental in Earth as a temporarily tank
- Use a bigger heal skill. Either Glyph for extra boon or Ether Renewal for condi cleanse
- Use staff if you want to keep an extra distance from a group of mobs (and it gives an extra dodge too).
- Use steal-health food buff.

^ This is a great post and as an elementalist player who runs 6/6/2, I recommend that you follow those tips.

I’d just add that you can use Swirling Winds (Air 4) and Obsidian Flesh (Earth 5) – those two are life-savers, SW destroys any projectiles in a very big radius while Obsidian Flesh allows you to survive through any spike damage such as a large group of mobs engaging you and your party at the same time.

BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

That’s a great post, XTD!! Thank you so much :-)

rekt so hard

15 chars of FoTM having better execution than pugs

Aw, man, just had another newbies party in Arah. I bloody love when people are willing to listen and learn, it took around 40 minutes to complete p2 but it was totally worth it. Everyone was listening carefully of what they should do and were doing their best.

I really should become a better solo’er and learn dungeons in depth then I can apply as a mentor for NooB, teaching people is so fun.

Also, Ecori, thank you for the great videos on your Twitch channel, learned a thing or two about thief <3

kitten, that post was supposed to go in the General Chat LMAO

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Someone’s being a kitten?

Sam … I thought we had something special … srsly.

Goon for Hire.7150:

Only the dungeon community would exploit/glitch an encounter and pretend it’s skillful play.

Cough, what about all the people who solo Lupi off-wall and go through all his standard mechanics? I guess soloing is an exploit nowadays?

Of course not. Now that takes some actual skill, and I have great respect for players who manage to pull it off.

Master Spoj, can you carry me through Arah like the good old days when I was a PHIW scrub?

Sing a mantra to the RNG Gods every morning and it might work.

I used to do all dungeons per day in the past, 5k ap, almost 200% magic find. A friend of mine bought GW2 and dropped a pre as soon as he hit 80. So, yea.

The only OP thing I see about the new class is the armor skin. I watched a friend of mine playing the Beta and it seemed like a bad combo between Necro & Mesmer.

Must be male? Let me get my femikitten friends on here!

So, hey everyone!

I’m looking forward to getting into more WvW and maybe PvP. I want a heavy armor class so it’s either warr or guard. What’d your recommendations be? I’d like to move more with zergs and play a supportive role so I’m unsure if I should look towards healing shouts or some kind of tanky guard build.

Thanks!

Fixen’ teh bugz, lulz.

God kitten it, rT, get your kitten together, my fanboyism is hurt! :’c

Rainmaker.7594:

I’ve solo’d him several times, most often when the rest of the party wipes, but a few times entirely by myself, and he does indeed move to be able to use his rapid fire attack, unless he is stuck on the uneven terrain. You sort of have a point about the slower players though. But I’d still consider it exploiting because he can’t move the way he is programmed to when he is on the wall; stuck on uneven terrain is just glitchy design, unless you are intentionally getting him stuck on it. Disabling movement is only not an exploit if you are using mechanic intended to have just that effect (such as immob, deep freeze, etc).

When he uses lifesteal on you, try to dodge backwards and then forward into him. I usually end up inside of his hitbox and I can just afk until it’s time for the aoe lifesteal.

You can check out some of Miku’s videos where Lupi just decides to go “kitten it, get rekt”, moves a few steps away and drops dome out of the blue.

Don’t listen to all those elitists, they just don’t have the skill to kill the trash mobs, that’s why they’re skipping.

Believe me.

Swiiiiiiiftyyyy <3

Ain’t even mad you necro’d this

Ladies and gents,

Once upon a time there was a LFG for Arah p4, experienced players only. Once upon a time I joined that party. Once upon a time the party consisted of just me and another warrior that knew what was going on and 3 people who barely had any idea.

Good thing is that the guys actually listened and we managed to complete it after all ._.

Just a casual Mossman roaming Arah

Taku.6352:

Gotta love having +70 ar on every class. :>

Ssshhh, I’ll get there sooner or later!

pushes Taku back in the shrubbery <3

I know I’ve said that before but I luw this sub-forum <3

Ghost, I’m on EU. If you are too, feel free to add me and whisper me when you want to run some dungeon, I will happily let you watch all the cutscenes and answer any additional questions that you might have in case I know the answer.

I’d totally love to as well, Sarah & Jerus But yea, sadly I’m on EU

Plus I’m risking to ruin the elitist veil I’ve built up after you see how bad I’m actually performing.

Jerus, it’s what I’m currently doing but I have +5 infusions instead of +10 (hurrah for being cheap lmao). I can easily go into 30ish fractals with just swapping trinkets around my characters. I should really stop being a lazybutt, currently I can only take my ele to 50s because of her ascended gear LOL

spoj.9672:

AC p1, hodgins doesnt start the burrow event. No idea on the cause. And it seems quite rare.

I’ve noticed this usually happens if he dies on the stairs due to the fire. Even if you revive him there, he wont do anything. It seems that the trigger for the event is somewhere between the door where the waypoint opens after finishing the event and the table.

My workaround for this, usually, is telling the whole party to move into the secluded room where the second burrow spawns, this way Hodgins magically spawns at the table.

dlonie, thanks for the tips, buddy!

I hopped in a party for p3 yesterday, party wiped at Lupi halfway through p2. Eventually I managed to push him back into the wall and solo’d him, hurrah \o/ It felt like an eternity, though, either I was too nervous or warriors just do it faster.

Taku, that’s so cute <3

Sarah, glad to hear that I have to start ascending all my characters so they can all run higher level fractals but I’m just so lazy, lol.

Ouch, hope it all goes well, Rasi :/

Yea, I agree the game is just as enjoyable without soloing, I just want some extra challenge and the skill to carry my parties as nowadays I also like pugging with newbies.

Being able to solo Lupi on thief makes for relatively easy PUG carries of all paths.

I’m sorry, Jerus, my English fails me here and I can’t really comprehend what you’re trying to say. Could you please put it in a simple way? ^^

With Thief you can Stealth your team to make each skip easy. Then you can solo most bosses with relative ease. Just a great profession to have if you have inexperienced players. So once you can master the Lupi solo it’s the easiest profession to take people through with is all I’m saying

Exactly my thoughts, mate Soloing as guard or warr is rather easy but it’s hard to carry your party throught the skips. As thief, this becomes a piece of cake.
