I'm already running axe/warhorn - staff

Intended to support:

strip

cleanse

healing

But I wonder if this can be achieved while doing DPS

and that is why i intend to run a power necro

Any thoughts?

> map cap is around 70 people and you saying 50 sounds about right. Our server had the "pleasure" being linked with DB and from what we saw, ~20 DB siting in siege than being on tag, so your ~50 people on map might just be on tag and forgetting all the people sitting in empty towers and keeps. Also depends when you play, DB really only has one timezone when everyone is asleep

Thank you!

> The caps are around 70 per server. You have the same amount of people on your map, the other servers are just working more united than yours is.

may be the case.

Can anyone suggest a build with the patch in mind for Scourge?

I'm thinking about full magi/power?

And what about weapon?

axe-warhorn/Staff

scepter-dagger/staff

Not sure about sigil/runes?

power infusion?

maybe healing?

Thank you!

Why **DRAGONBRAND** is not allowed to have more than 50 people on map

without queue while others have 100+?! (Outnumbered all the time)

Why? Why? Why?

Can anyone care to explain the reasons?

I got some pieces ;)

lucky AF!

> Hell yes! Thank you Cal Cohen and team! Reeling in the power creep was more than necessary, I was kinda worried that you'd go too light on the original change, but what I see now gives me hope that things will improve! Thank you so much for your work and keep at it! People will be mad about their class getting nerfed, but your outlined vision is solid! Stay strong and keep delivering!

The complaining is mostly because they will be not able to one shot things anymore.

My concern is there will not be enough cleanse for the amount of condition stacking.

And they didn't touch DE infinite invis.

Dark Matter Skins

Shimmering Skins

Dark Matter Cape

Shimmering Aurora Cape

Those are the best skins in-game for me.

Thank you!

The best way seems to be a mix of minstrel and harrier.

but, there are so many variations of builds that i'm confused as well.

But at any case, I'm running this one atm: (running t4 atm)

I have ditch pulse as well ;)

To hell with DX12, I'm an AMD user,

all I want is VULKAN!

What is this 'pots' people keep talking about?!

I'm doing the weapons.

> Go cap a camp, cap a sentry, go kill the guards at the front of towers, then go sit at spawn for 10 minutes. Repeat. If you get ganked then respawn and go a different direction or a different borderland. With max reward track gain and max participation it should take you 4.5 hours to get your gift of battle. Most players can do that in a single evening or two. Map completion/ Expansion completion is a much bigger pain in the kitten.

> @"DeanBB.4268" said:

> If you are patient, you can do easy WvW dailies, which reward potions to advance a reward track. Big Spender, Veteran creature, kill 5 guards, kill a guard/claim land, monument, take 2 camps - all easy to do, depending on how active WvW is. There are times when I go there and there are just enemy players everywhere, so I skip it.

Thank you guys!

> You can get gift of battle in eotm as well. You dont need the mount by any means. Just keep your participation up (wvw or eotm) , get maximum participation for maximum reward track points per tick, use boosters (exp booster, celebration booster) and cap a camp every 10 minutes, or follow a zerg.

Thank you, this was better than any tutorial in the game.

You need to do WvW in order to get the the **Gift of Battle**

or Can I only kill mobs inside WvW zone?!

**Buy the Path of Fire expansion.

Spend at least 1 World Ability Points in the Warclaw Mastery section.

Complete the Warclaw Companion collection.

All objectives may be completed in default WvW maps

The camp capture objective cannot be completed in Edge of the Mists

Complete the associated Warclaw Reward Track (necessary to complete the collection).

Purchase from Elvie the Warclaw Tender for 8 Gold coin after using the Warclaw Certificate of Ownership.**

WHY we have to make quests for Gliding/Mount ALL OVER AGAIN?!

This is RIDICULOUS!

Doing all that just to participate in a mode to get a item for the legendary?

This is the kind of thing that turn people away from WvW. (if wasn't for the legendary, to hell with this mode)

Annoying!

AWESOME WORK!

thank you for the effort ^_^

These days i have only been running:

**Fractal, Strikes, TT and Teq**

At weekends i run HOT maps ;)

I'm willing to help ;)

This bug is so annoying and still plague the instance.

if somebody die at this phase you'll get zapped till the end of times.

And then you have to restart the instance cuz the bug is ETERNAL.
