Marauder is trash on necro. I wish people would stop recommending this crap.

You lose power AND ferocity for precision, the only stat a single necro build doesn’t need. When you could take zerk/valk peices instead and have more power/fero/hp with less precision.

Marauder is suboptimal on necro. End of story.

Hell even WoodenPotatoes frost gun build was suboptimal because it was using rampager.

In PvE it’s trash (if “trash” means ~12% less damage than zerk).

In WvW roaming it’s the best power based stat we have.

In sPvP it’s still great even though demolisher and paladin might be better options in certain scenarios.

its 12% less damage on theif. It’s much more on necro.

For wvw roaming the best power stat is valk, hands down. Unless you are running dagger main hand, which i question why you would be running that in wvw anyway.

This isn’t true. A 12% damage loss on a thief means every other profession has a lower reduction since all of thief’s damage comes from multiplying damage values rather than raw stats.

The best options depends on weapons, traits, and sigils. Chill/Might CV reaper benefits a lot more from the precision versus DD reaper, up to 50%. A combination of all three is typically ideal for CV builds, for example due to the consistency it promotes, while the precision on a shroud-based DD build will be wasted stats, but the build less consistent.

Of course, this also depends are party/group/comp vs solo play, too. Someone generating constant Fury can negate a lot of the need for a substantial amount of precision.

Full marauder is largely a waste, but investing into 2/3 parts is quite viable and something I did on mine/optimized ones, which has around 26k hp, close to 3k power, and 210 crit damage at 50% crit chance exactly, upped to 100% from DP.

hi dude,can you share your build please?looks so good,i’m lost like OP about what use on my Power Reaper,my “endgame” is open world events and LS3 maps,i’m trying to find a balance between HP and DPS,i was thinking in something like this :

25% crit + 25% from DD = 50 % off shroud and 100% on reaper form
226 crit dmg and 27k hp

the downside is the might stack,and power is kinda low

Dragon hunter kinda has a lot of ways it can be played with.

the following build are all viable at different levels but viable

Medi trapper
Burn DH
Core Burn
Marauder symbolic
Symbolic Mender bunker
core medi guard
aegis retaliation

all of these builds are viable in solo queue. If other builds had as much build diversity as guardian then i’m sure no matter the low skill floor we’d see a more even representation. Guardian is simply very fun and fresh to play with.

Agree 100% man,Guardian is not OP at all,is just tons of fun play with,i feel that DH spec was made for pvp,i simple love that class to do any pvp content.

lmao is just more time to ppl get salty in chat

The axe has always been suited to work with hybrid damage stats, with the Might stacking of Ricochet combining with the bleeding from Splitblade and Winter’s Bite. The latter two skills have very low power coefficients, which prevented them from getting the maximum benefit from Might. We have significantly increased the power scaling of these two skills to grant them more synergy with the goal of the kit.

Splitblade: The damage per axe hit of this skill has been increased by 200% in PvP only.
Winter’s Bite: The damage of this skill has been increased by 150%.

Life isn’t fair,sadly:(

People are now mad because of the nerf at lake doric (for those who don’t know, trebuchets now shot even at the entrance gate) they’re saying they’re going to BFF now to continue AFK farm. It is comunity’s fault in first place that be got punished this way for abusing AGAIN in a farm Anet gave us the option to use.

It happened with Auric Basin it happened with Lake Doric and it WILL happen to Bitterfrost Frontier if “we” keep doing this. Because of one, we all have to pay, and it’s not fair.

At least I must admit that, having invisible trebuchets aiming at me while farming leather up the hill added some more mechanics where I’m forced to take the maximum playstyle of my elementalist. That’s why I like it more with trebs now.

What happened with Auric Basin?afaik is a empty map since the nerf,also how “afk” farmers ( not afk at all coz that 1 hour check) ruin your life?

These people who complain about every f… farm have 2k gold +,tons of ascen,legendary stuff . . .and is like "ah kitten new players,don’t care if they have 100g)

Guild Wars 2: The Massive Multiplayer Online Game that people want to play alone.

You know, there are a lot of great single-player games out there. Why does ArenaNet listen to these complaints?

I’m still waiting on a dedicated 1v1 game-type, but everyone insists that SoloQing with randoms in a TEAM game is better.

I see,but what i’m asking for is a 10 players playing in equal terms,not 5 “solo” players against a 5 man team going so tryhard that the other team can’t cap a single point,is that what i’m talking about ,something fair to both sides.

It’s Unranked… Why do you even care? It’s not like it’s even competitive. Ranked is, go there if you want this.

Unranked doesn’t have a reward track ?or i’m missing something? and everyone says “oh it’s unranked we don’t care” then team up 3 gold,plat and crush others all day . .anyway gw2 PVP and some players are looking even more to moba players,imo.

Hi,Anet casual players,or players that don’t have a good ms (180+) like me,or even new players enjoy to play unranked because is less stressful and don’t requires a tryhard gameplay,but every 10 games 5/6 are against a premade team (5 man) and the result is 500/100,500/200 . .ppl going afk in the first 2 min of the game,i know some ppl that don’t pvp anymore because of this,my question is,do you guys think this is healthy ? and Anet have any plan to create a Solo mode ,for solo players,not premades?

Sorry about my english,thank you.

yah i’d like to know that too,i’m saving my goodies just for those D

Hey guys,about AB “fix” does that means that we can’t loot on others maps anymore?all we can do now is run one map per event?

Yes thats exactly what it means.

Hm thanks,well that “simple fix” changes everything,AB is just worthless to do now.

Hey guys,about AB “fix” does that means that we can’t loot on others maps anymore?all we can do now is run one map per event?

ok got it guys,jutst bought for 23/100 . .thanks for the help!

hmm thank you guys,that was really helpful, so according to GW2TP site the “normal” or "expected conversion rate " nowadays is like 100 gem 23/25 gold right?

Greetings friends,i’m kinda new here and i would like to know better about the gold>gem ratios,i made some gold (600) doing events and such and i’m looking to trade some of these for gem .

But,idk when to buy because the price change every time,this morning 2k gem was 508g,now it is 474g,so my question is ,what ration should i looking for? 400/450g for 2k gems is a good one?just for example.

Hello guys i hit 80 a few days ago(my first char) and i have a question please,what is better for a new player to do with the insta 80 scroll from HOT exp,should i use it on my main for the gear,bags(15 slots),trinkets) or should i spent all my “money” gearing him, and save the scroll for a second char?what is the cheapest way to start my journey?

info: my main is a warrior,and i don’t have any goods on him just a exotic weapon and helm.

and that is all i got atm :

65 gold
155k karma
375 WvW coins
and citadel of flames coins ( 1 piece worth)
