Guild Wars 2

a necro can also easily surpass 1200 toughness with enough minions too

is it not to make you the mesmer feel more safe is to make you even more self sufficient and lift off some stress from your healer since alot of healing to the group will be happening thnx to the mesmer and he can focus on his own dps

icy.9250:

why not just go minstrel druid tank and utility/dps Mesmer? Then each kinda does what it was meant to do. But just out of curiosity, what runes/sigils would you have on mez now?

icy`

its harder to do all these as a drid tank healer since the healig druids do isnt as passive as the mesmer one and power/druid does more dms than power /utility mesmer
so by sacrificing 5k dps you can all remove the secont off druid and add some condi class or power class depending on the encouner while the off power druid deals more dmg than you and has the burst for tricky spots

Plazar.8946:

You have 2 druids so the whole party gets its buffs and I never want to see any drood other than zerk or condi in my team so yeah, noty, we have enough heals and there is no need to have 2k tougness, I easily do every raid boss w/ 1250 toughness

depends on the encounter not all the bosses run 2 off druids and tbh condo off druid is just weak at both fronts

Xcorpdog.2840:

While the principle works out for it, not many people like it.
Many people will call it dumb, and depending on the set up it is dumb.
As it is there are groups that find trying to do the mesmer rotation and tanking hard.
That said, the gaps for dps work out something like:
Berserker/Assassin: ~12k
Commanders: ~9k
Minstrels: ~4k
I will say if your group can suddenly bring 2 dps focused druids because of you running minstrels then sure go ahead, otherwise I generally wouldn’t outside of crappy pug healers.
As for the toughness and necromancers, commanders is more than enough toughness for them to not have to care, unless they for some reason have some other toughness. That said most groups don’t bother much with necros outside of wing 2 where it doesn’t matter.
There are other things like the 5k/10s healing from running the matra heal if you are going that far into the whole support side of the gear but it’s pretty meek and you lose quickness, alacrity and dps to do so.

i think you underestimate the healing this build might do i mean why even have 2 off healer druids when 1 off healer and this build is enough to keep the party healthy? doing quickness while tanking isnt that hard (excluding xera coz i haventkilled her) you can deal with the attacks and dish out the quickness needed for you group while you also afk healing them so your druid can go off healer and bring more dps in your group

As the title suggest i find it hard to understand why isnt minstrel mesmer the goto choice ?Since it makes dying non relevant the perma healing it provides with the illusion’s regen is kinda neat the 2k> toughness means if you have necros they can go nuts with the minions and you ge the added boon duration from it as well.

I understand that youu give up alot (for the mesmer) dmg but not only you become self sufficient but you provide your group with more survivability through the regen while you can freelly take some hits and be able to recover on your own pretty fast relieving your healer from the stress of healing you. Yes i understand your dmg will be helltrash but lets face it the mesmer dmg in raids is trash anyways, one could argue that if their guild is doing record runs or low mans such as gorse where the dps checks are more harsh there the added dmg is more usefull but if you are not in that % of the raiding player base i dont find a reason not to run minstrels chrono (f you want to see big numbers mesmer is not the class anyways).Also on other low mans such as vg or mattias where the time limit is more forgiving you could use this build as well :/ ,your thoughts?

melee might be hard to play if you cannot walk out of the bad things in the ground but power is far from not viable its been the first time since hot that both power and condi are almost equally viable (diff combs work better in diff fractals)

i like intabilities you can play around unlike boon thievery and lethargic flux bomb is interesting the fractal merging thingy is just LMFAO the trail might need some tweaking and the new social awk is not bad it will take some time to learn but it more controlable. Overall the new instabilities in t4 reward skillful play and fractals just get better and better more polished wat the game actually needs.

even tho i would ask for an internal cd on afliction xD

If feel that the combination of3 instbilities on some fractals is wierd to play against i mean the poison trail in cliff side and the flux bomb even tho its really nice i like it the 1 shotting from the enraged mobs while you rrun away from the group might wreck you.
Im just wondering why 3 instabilities in the t4 now?

The tablets and the cami notes even tho they give nice lore i think anet missed the mark. They could make it so much better by making it like the diaries from bf where i can review them every time i want from my inentory, that would be so much better. The tablets notes because i dont want to run everytime around the whole map to get the story of the mursaat if i missed some lore in my hurry for either an event or something and as far as i know once you read all the cami notes you cant reread them and i really want to read them again

dont get me worng the story ed everything was dope and the last instance with your kitten talking to lazarus was dope, but i was still kittened at how they introdused “new” mobs get the whole nature of magic and everything death = manipulating the dead and ressing them but the new death and vine touched destroyers dont show any of that only diff auras around them (als whats the vine touched supposed to mean are they able to mind control or what was mordy area of expertise

dont forget we infuenced these events greatly (elder dragon killing that is) and we are the champion of a wonna be elder dragon.Also he seems if you see his model in a pretty messed up state he does no have that golden tint and his body seems quite tired and what not he overall seems… decaying even tho the flame effects and everything when he started helping was dope

Randulf.7614:

I don’t think a single player in this game would disagree that we have way too many currencies right now. A lot of MMO’s streamlined their currency system, whilst GW2 seems to have gone in the opposite direction. The one currency system (karma) was a recognised failure, but 35 is too much to manage, especially when so many are inventory based.

Its a system to keep maps relevant :/ and unlike other mmos the lvl cap doesnt rise so we get more and more maps for end game its only logical that some might not see play without these currencies keeping the relevant, take wow for example every past expac get forgoten after the new one comes out and now they took the gw2 idea of zone scaling to keep all the maps in the new expac relevant

as quite a few have said by now—→ WOW :legion:guildwars2 xD

I might be alone on this one but hot was an amazing expansion it was just god awful short in terms of story. The mastery story even tho its abit uninteresting yes its no longer a grind you can go to BF and be done with it as fast as all hell and if you consider it a grind well the new map is also a great source of gold so you dont do it for nothing. You could argue that pvp got abit messed up by the power lvl of elite specs (elite specs not condi meta that has nothing to do with hot ) but the pvp scene was always skill>everything and still we saw non hot players getting top spots.The legendaries were always OPTIONAL since they are only for the skin the crafting system might be a golddfest but that because if they were that would ruin the economy and let me tell you i just finished The chosen —> going for The flameseeker and let me tell you im so glad theres a type of quest and immersion to it now instead of just farming gold to buy it off the tp. The ls ep 2 is supposed to bring Free content for you to experience i dont really get whats your issue with that it brings a (hopefully) big map a jp (Yasss) and more story and events to do it also come with a pvp map class balancing and prob more quality of life changes. the last patches did nothing else but made the game much better .

the problem is not the hot maps being impossible to do with out a zerg the problem is the flaws the lvling process has. Most events in low lvl(startng) maps are soloable and thats a good thing if they were a bit more challenging that would also be good it would teach ppl core mechanics and their own classes better, making them better at the game. The game also tries to appeal with the format that you should feel good to see more ppl and that you should tag along to overcome challenges. Big meta maps are a great place for that (considering that the ps and the lvlng zones would be challenging enough to teach you the basics of your class)as long as they introduce the idea of forming big groups to take down even tougher foes(and as long as everyone is doing their job and not kittening up it should go smoothly).Now the metas could be more challenging but not i terms of dmg that mobs deal or hp bars but in simple mechanics every player should know aka cc/interupt dodge but since the lvling in this game is so braindead easy we can all see how well this is going in hot maps.

too many ppl are kittened for no reason ls2 wasnt made after an expansion so it wasnt following p2p only content so you cant compare it with lw3. Lw3 its ok since it follows a gatted storyline for ppl who do not qualify to play i would rather comment anet for unlocking lw3 in the files for ppl who dont either have hot but still logged in the game so when or if they buy it they will get the lw3 as well this is all to wierd coz this thread is in a wierd timing since when mo said that it would be locked ppl did not complain and since theres 10 days still to unlock it i find this thread kind of early to be made.Now i would argue that anet could make a gate on the north for the ppl that have the expac to go in fen that would connect the map to the world but oh well that would be kind of immersio breaking

Guild halls im ok with since they are supposed to in the open world as for fractals as you mentioned they are fractals of the mists so it would be wierd if they were in the actual world but might a just a way for the game to generate the wp.
Its still wierd tho xD all the waypoints being around there and not anywhere else around the world map

sounds solid :/

The last couple of days i started noticing that when i place a personal waypoint inside a fractal map when i go outside i find that my waypoint is relocated somewhere around the north part of the world map(nw of woodland cascades).That makes me wonder if the fractal maps are placed there and we just cant see them and if thats the case will these areas up in the north be able to become exporable maps in the future i mean does arena net have the capabilities to relocate the fractal maps.

That’s very interesting. AFAIK, Fractals are “Fractals of the Mists” so I’m not sure why a Fractal map should exist in the actual game map. Maybe your WP showing there is a glitch of some kind.

Happened every time i tried to recreate it :/

multiple necros with a druid tent to simplefy every and all encounters and the multiple epidemics can destroy the trash packs quickly so you can move faster to the boss also many of the bosses have 1 or more add with them perfect for the epidemic if despite that bother you that much that the reaper fest is happening dont worry they will get the ely treatment soon™

Unlikely. Anet barely cares about pve balance outside of raids and in raids reaper is not even close to top.

was confirmed that they are looking into toning down the skill dont give all that kitten or the devs :/

im possitive there are still order for all these >+12 in the tp since many ppl from that time might not play this game for the “unfortunate” who dont have enough of these infusions to make a +16 or multiple you could sell it to someone that has ordered them

ppl can go a long way to protect and support those they love, also lets not forget that there was an elder dragon infuencing her the whole time.

theres also the fact that you can simply get the mats needed and just w8 for the collection to pop up so you can view the reward and if you then realise you dont want it sell the mats and maybe make so profit out of it

in fact it is stupid yes but can you blame human nature? they just want to experience the new thing when its out thats the thing with mmos so ofc ppl would w8 for its continuation so they can be a step closer to the reward

It is bad for the players.This lack of clearance if causing many ppl to just waste hours w8ing for an event just because it isnt clear to the so they can go and do something else more prodictive instead of w8ing.

Hello iv noticed today that sometimes when i multysalvage some gear for example various fine and masterwork items it doesnt salvage them all.Now thats not an issue of me not having enough gold (chopper salvage-omatic) or stacks of the salvage kit and when i click again to multisalvage it appears as i dont have any more salvageable items in my bags and i have to do it manually. is this a bug or a problem on my end?

This might be wrong but i remember reading in the patch notes that every t4 (and even t3) chest drops an asc salvage kit.I’ve been doing fractals daily so far and havent got any from the chests. Did i mistaken the notes or is there a bug with the rewards, any other rewards beeing possible bugged too?

i found miltyple files gw2cache numpers and letters what do i do do i delete them all?

i cant find it
