Guild Wars 2

I am wondering if the devs will have the same queue length we got yesterday night on reset. I do not really find the way to describe it ! (discourage to play WvW as guild, because it was not possible with a lot of guildies crashing and going back to queue was so frustrating !!!)
Anyway, have fun all devs and players for this new WvW season

hmmm … and i was always thinking that this game was free of hackers … and all those teleporting thing were due to server lag ….

good job …. hope ANET will do something about it

google.3709:

nah he doesn’t seem like that type of person… on the other hand, I could very well be the person to blame for the 100nades nerf … i had couple more of those, idk what happened to them tho

and what you did ?
I am missing something in the screenshot …

Well I am running with 4GB RAM and a dedicated NVidia 1.5GB graphic card.
I don’t think it’s just skill lag, it’s more like lag in general. It’s just when I cross a zerg

Full HP —→ dead = not fun at all

Hi all,
Well I looked a little bit on forum to see if I can find stuffs that can be done on my computer to have less lag in WvW, and more specifically when zerg is approaching.

I don’t know, was thinking about stuffs like reducing resolution, running error scan or defrag, virus scanning and malwares, playing in window mode or full screen ?

I even noticed that most of the time I freeze (for couple of seconds up to 10s) when I swap weapon and a zerg is near

Thank you in advance

P.S: Stuffs other than buying a new computer, already have an allienware.

I completed the new monthly achievement on April 2nd at 10:44 pm MST. Here’s a screenshot. I think the Monthlies should take longer to get. I wasn’t even tring to complete it, I was just playing.

You completed it with 3 out of 150 audio recordings collected? Amazing! How did you complete it without completing it???

because you need to complete only 4 of the different task to get monthly achievement

Hi all,
I am new to necromancer. I read a lot of old and new posts on forum (specially nemesis one).
I am interested by Cond/prec/though build, with staff and scepter + dagger (not sure about the dagger as offhand).

After all the recent patches, I want to know which condition builds are still good for PVE and/or WvW.

thanks in advance

I have the feeling that boon duration and might duration on superior runes are bugged.

anyone else notice that ?

P.S: maybe I was drunk yesterday night :p

a bunker mesmer is a low damage mesmer … and if u have any guardian/warrior in party.
I think they will get all the agro on them.

And I am interested to know how can you control the mobs ? r u using focus a offhand ?

well how often a mesmer gets hit in PVE/dungeons ?
as EsLafiel said at the end … retalation will be more important for mesmer in PVP

Hi all,
I’ve been playing for a couple of months now a mesmer and engineer.
I am interested by starting a necro to change a little.

what’s your feedback about this class.
I read a little bit about it on forum but would like to get news about the latest updates concerning this class.

I suppose this is a pure condition build class ?
what do u recommend as build, armors stats, trinkets, etc …

thank you in advance for your replies.

P.S: don’t use a lot of necro jargo because I will probably not understand much

I think if we use a lot of elixirs, we can grant a lot of boons and conditions removals to allies

awesome Amadeus
that helps,
But if the enemy is smart and saw the confusion on him and just kited (using no skills) while waiting for it to be over.
Will he take any damage ?

Oh ROFL …
sorry I missed the sarcastic sense of humor.

to admit it … didn’t read the full post

I present to you the link that doesn’t work

well something is confusing me with the confusion definition
it said on the wiki

Confusion is a condition that deals damage each time a foe uses a skill.

I always though that the damage dealt, won’t depend on your own condition damage

thanks all for ur quick reply,
I still have a general question, the confusion build is more a condition damage build ?
no need to get more % crit damage ?

Anyone would like to share with us his confusion build for eng

I am interested by trying this type of build.
Please specify what stats u r using on armors, accessories, sigils, runes, and food

thanks in advance

thanks for your quick reply Caino

and and and … If i want to use this build for PVE ?

Hi all,
I am wondering what stats r u using with this build on ur armors and accessories ?
what about the food also ?

thanks in advance

Hello all,
I would like to know if Scope trait works correctly
“gain 10% critical chance while standing still”

is it only a display problem in hero panel ?
does the 10% extra critical chance shows only when u r in combat ?

thanks in advance.

Hi all,
I noticed that yesterday night on my engineer while trying some build in heart of the mist.

when I equip a kit (grenade or flamethrower), my PVP weapons disappear and I see the normal weapon I use in PVE or WvW !!!

my sigils didn’t work at all … wasn’t even able to test my builds.
Anyone else noticed that ?

Ostricheggs ?
can you share with us please what type of food u use with your first build plz ?

thanks in advance

Hi all
I am wondering how this trait works exactly.
description says: Deal 1% extra damage for each boon on you.

So if I have 25 stack of might ? will that be 25% more dmg ? or it is 1% for each TYPE of boon?

thanks in advance for ur reply

nice list of builds and explanations,
Will try the first build tonight … well at least at the Mist … bcoz don’t know really how much those runes costs

Hey guys,
thanks for your quick feedback.
do u know if those sigils/runes are still working correctly after last patch ?

and one more question concerning sigil of fire …. how much damage the AOE fire does ?

Hi engineer fellows,
I was wondering if any of you tried FT build with 2 sigils of strength?
If yes, can u share with us your experience on how good it works ?

If u have any other any other suggestions on other types of sigils that are good to use with this build … as well as runes for armors.

thanks in advance

hmm … well the idea behind my question is mainly for FT kit to keep as much stack of might as possible.
is there any cooldown for sigil of battle ?

thanks again guys.

well I will try to be as objective as possible answering this question.
(made an eng as 2nd class and since then, I am always playing it)

Engineer is a versatile class with all the kits it can use.
so all depends on your traits, stats, skills and kits, eng can be really good in PVE as well as in PVP.

BUT, as we are a versatile class, we can’t be the TOP in each section, but we can be good in all of them.

Hi all,
I am wondering if, as engineer, I can use sigil of battle and sigil of strength at the same time.
thank u in advance

I should have something around 5K (if my memory is not failing me) in fractal level 10+
all depends on how much you crit also BTW.

Will try to post a screenie later tonight.

Very nice build,
I will try it tonight. But I just don’t like (it’s personal) the sword part of it. I just don’t like being close to mobs on mesmer
Will probably try it with scepter to see how it works.
and nice combination of armors too

thanks for sharing

Rozbuska.5263:

Actualy static discharge build in PvE is much better than 100b war imo

didn’t understand your 100b war ?
I am not a big user of static discharge trait, but may reconsider it.

well If u want to be the top dpser in your party, then don’t play engineer (not saying that engineer can’t keep us with others)
When I play eng as grenadier, other than being good in AOE damage, I mainly look at the number of stack of vulnerability that I can put on boss … which is useful for all party

and as we are a versatile class, you can’t be very good in one thing, but at least we can be good in all

Well … engineer is one the class … if not the class that you can play in different ways.
that’s why I always keep an eye on the different build threads.

Really interesting tanking build, and nice video and music !

Yesterday i was in WvW when I crossed a Zerg of enemies (more than 20 of them), it took them a while to take me down.
I was running with 3.35K armor and 23K HP (with no food). It was really fun having all a zerg attention on you while your friendly zerg is attacking elsewhere.

Thanks shouzama for ur reply and link,
51% is still nice to try (if I can afford paying 2 more sigils of strength).

if i understood right, P/P works only with a condition damage build ?

what about pow/prec/crit dmg build with P/P ?
anyone tried it ?

I am then a little bit confused about the stat u see on hero panel.
If u use sigil of accuracy on main hand, u will see an increase of 5% in ur crit chance. But if u use sigil of accuracy on offhand, nothing changed. Not sure if it’s a display problem though.

does 5% accuracy and 5% damage stack together ? or only one sigil will be in use at once ?

thanks in advance

Hi all,
I was wondering if superior sigil of force works correctly on pistol offhand on engineer class.
can someone confirm that for me please ?

and do sigils on offhand weapons in general have different working/activation mechanism ?

thanks in advance

that’s one nice video … Really enjoyed it.
I can really say that this guy knows very well how to play the class

Hi all,
my question is about using the same sigil twice on weapons P/P (in my case sigil of strength).
Will I get 2×30 = 60% chance to get a stack of might on crit ?

thanks in advance

Hey all,
I tried yesterday FT build with HGH trait and It was so easy for me to reach 20+ average stack of might.
my attack reached many time 3850 and with a good tank who succeed to pull all mobs to it … FT skill 1 is just nice. If it crits well, I was doing frontal AOE damage up to 5K on each mob. So I kinda enjoy it.

From another side, indeed there is a small problem (maybe I have to get used better to the range) with misses, which are higher on static objects.

but I enjoy it if u ask me

thanks Maullus for the clarification
and grrrr Anet for session timeout !!! I was typing my reply and now I have to write it again and I don’t remember exactly what I wrote there !

I was saying that I use mainly sigil on str on rifle when running FT build with juggernaut (gain might for 15 seconds every 3 seconds, as long as you remain in this weapon kit.) and HGH trait, and while using skill 1 in FT and having many mobs in front, it will be easy to reach 20+ stacks of mights.

from the other side, I didn’t know that those 2 sigils (bloodlust and strength) work together if put on P/P or P/S. This something worth trying.

and did anyone try 2 sigils of strength on P/S or P/P ? will u get 60% chance on crit to gain might ?

I think if you are a FT engineer, as I am testing this build recently, I am almost 99% sure that the best is to go for sigil of Strength specially if you take the HGH trait from alchemy.

I was testing my new build yesterday in heart of the mist and depends on how many mobs you have, it can be really quick (was testing it on dummies, maybe will be dead if testing it on real mobs), to reach 20+ stack of might, which is by far more power than 25 stack of bloodlust sigil.

P.S: still need to test it on real mobs or in instance. probably tonight

Hi again,
Sorry I wasn’t clear in my first post about the purpose of trying another build.
I am more PVE oriented.
So i was more thinking about FT as alternative PVE build for might stacking.
yesterday I did my tests in heart of the mist and it seems easy to maintain a 20 stacks of might during combat.
I still need to try it in some high level instance and see how it goes

Thanks a lot for your replies so far.
I will try to combine my both set and see what my damage/viability ratio will be

Hi all,
I am currently running a grenadier build with power/precision/critical damage stats.

I would like to know if my damage with Flamethrower will be good and acceptable with the same combination of stats.

I am kinda tired (fingers hurt) from spamming grenades and would like to try another build without the needs to change set.
I have also another set with armors (pow, vit, tough) and accessories (knight set, pow, prec, though)

I would like to know if Flamethrower build will work with any of those 2 sets, please say which one if better.
and if not, what combination of stats you would suggest.

and what other build i can play with my current armors and accessories set (something not grenades )

thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions.

well I did myself some tests yesterday by looking at the power changes when equipping a kit.
with Rifle as weapon: I am loosing around 240 attack when I equip a kit (tested it only on grenades)
if I used pistol only: only a slight decrease in power when I equip grenades.
pistol + shield : no changes in power

no weapon : my attack INCREASED when I equip grenade kit.
didn’t test it with 2 pistols.

I tried to find a logical explanation … by looking the different weapon damage, etc … but tbh … didn’t find any

what I meant by viable is: does it still make good damage compared to other damage made by other classes or other kits ?

and wow coglin … no need to make such a dissertation about what you consider about using “viable”.
