Guild Wars 2

Guess i’ll be running this set for a while ^^

Herald maxed out after 2 days. Got Berserker a day later. Both 0 points at the moment. Updraft and mushrooms were the only masteries I needed. Some hero points required help, otherwise it was solo clearing it with just a few seconds left on the timer.

Edit: so I guess 600 points after 3 days. Warrior already had world complete.

Stuck in pvp match too! Can’t get out

who wants to play with someone who only spam 2 and 4 ?

This is not exclusive to rangers, I’ve had scepter guards and rifle warriors that AA max range on mossman, cultist leader, and harpy destroyer.

I don’t know where all this great pug fractal player you been seeing that should melee in fractal.

Because quite honestly 95% of the player are better of ranging. Because most of them spend more time laying on the ground than a ranger bear tanking the boss.

I think almost every pug I’ve been in so far has preferred melee, then again my luck tends to be on my side. I’ve also have been having some really good experience with necromancer players so I guess I’m in happy candy land or something.

I’m not sure which level you are doing.

For boss like Mossman or Archdiviner I see people melee at 50. And most of them die more than twice. I hope people come to their senses they are hurting the team more if they melee and keep dieing.

Some of my pug Archidiviner fight is terrible because I rezed people like 10 times in 1 fight. I hope people come to their senses, they should stay at max range for that unless they are good. And most of them don’t look good to me.

I mean if you are meleeing, dont’ die more than twice in a fight. And apparently a huge percentage of them do.

While I would agree on that a player should have a slight sense of being able to max melee before attempting melee on a fotm 50, I see much more times people ranging themselves or others to death during Archdiviner/Anomaly reflect phase.
Ranging in some cases is fine, but it is ludicrous to down team members with it.

It still baffles me those mechanics are not followed up or recognized in the higher tiers.

I feel the same as OP.

I myself really enjoy running high lvl fractals with in-game friends/pugs and run it daily.

Regular dungeons do not have any ‘ramp-up’ involved, you get the WP to the dungeon, run it and receive guaranteed currency to purchase dungeon specific armor/weapons. Do that a couple of times and you have your desired skin.

For fractals, to be eligible for ‘fotm lvl 50 rewards’, you at least must’ve done fractals 50 times. Also, you must invest into ascended armor/trinkets/weapon to survive unavoidable Agony. The amount of effort involved is different, but I’m fine with it since it is my choice to run fractals.

Now, what rewards are there at the end, considering the effort involved? Besides ridiculous RNG, there are the guaranteed Fractal Relics. It even has a spot in the wallet between all other account bound currencies.

What am I doing with relics? Nothing since the end of 2013.
Sitting at 35,000 relics, 3x stacks of pristine and a couple of fully upgraded backpieces (pre wardrobe)/ 40 fractal bags etc. If I know I could purchase i.e. fractal specific skins/tonics (just like in other 5 man content) with relics , EVEN after getting nothing at the RNG game, I would feel more satisfied and rewarded for the effort.

Grats on your lb drop!

Almost 2 years. Been on a bad rng streak lately. Missing the short bow, dagger and trident.
So 16/19 unlocked, no tonic. Multiple duplicates aswell.

First drop was the staff, the next skin was 4 months later…

You like fractals right? Run it a lot. If you have that many relics, I am actually surprised there was no single (zerker) armor/weapon box from the daily (11-49) chest to bump your AR higher.

Technically, you don’t have to craft anything to enjoy personal lvl fotm 50.
Have fun and work hard, you’ll run your 50 someday.

For someone like me who runs (and pugs) daily high lvl fractals, I really support this idea. It displays dedication just like those WvW titles
