Would someone be so kind as to suggest a class and build that will have very high survivability, something that will be very forgiving if I miss dodges? The simpler the description, the better. I bought the game years ago but never played much, and I don't understand the complexities of builds yet. > > Thanks for any help! Hello, Here is a scourge build, it's almost impossible to die with it, and no, it's not an exageration. I build it for a friend who is 60+ yo and who was struggling since she discoverd HoT. Now she roll on content and can beat most champ. And if you'r younger, you won't beat most champ, you'll beat ALL leg/bounty and champ you will encounter. Rotation ? => Always 3 shades up (15% dmg reduction) => don't use F2 you don't need it, keep Life force for F3 - F5. F4 when CC is needed for breakbar + elite skill. Don't made the 2 minion explode, use the shadow fiend skill on CD. For weapon skill, spam all on CD, use Torch 5 the least to gain more might. It's not a raid or fractal or even dg build, that a pur solo build. Can be use in meta-event, shade are great for tagging, add a Staff + epidemic for more cleave (only in meta-event). Hope it help you as much as it helped my friend. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PSABs+tjlFwmYgsK2IWKPlvTA-zxIY84fMylqdqK9zivTbA-e (Exo work too, just a bit less stat)

Bangar had a genuine reason for wanting a dragon. I still don’t know why Ryland became Jormag’s champion and I don’t think the game knows why either. It skirts around the issue in the DRM with Caithe but it doesn’t tell us much. All Ryland does is make some angry noises and snarky comments. Just end the story and I really agree. Bangar was imho a very good character, like an old patriotic guy stuck on the past, all his doing his (in his head) for the best of his people and I really loved this side of him. The face design, actor voice and so are very good for him. That because of this char, for the 1st time I was in the story and wanted to know more. Until now, all story of this game was pretty meh to me (don't judge me, I played teso for a long term and I'm now used to more when it come to story in mmorpg). And tbh, the middle/end of this story-arc was extremely disapointing so far.. I mean, I see what they've tryed to do, but it was so badly introduce that it killed all the good about this story for me. (Hope everything is readable, my english is not that good so dunno if I've succed to explain how I feel about it)

I killed the demolisher yesterday with a friend, so, not bugged. Dunno about spawn rate or so though, just came accross randomly.

Luck / Random is like this. Got the same thing at wintersday even, open 77 gift and got the infusion, selled for 330g~ Don't expect something when you play with luck and you'll never be disapointed.

~~Yeah that it, was not sur about the translation since I play in French ^^~~ Edit : @"Aharex.9528" Nvm, it's Shader, I mess up. Here is a screen of the same mount with shader off : >!  >!

That because the post-traitement on this game is bad, remove it and you'll not have these reflexion who always have the same pink to red shade whatever color you put on them. But w/o it, it's also less beautiful imho, so you've to made a choice :/ Got almost the same color choice as yours ^^ >! 

still not fixed... Edit : Wordcobbler message helped me, thx. Nvm animation play but frost wall still close...

But it still a bug and should be fixed. Player shouldn't have to try many time a day in the hope the instance will work :/

Hello, I feel you, I used to love Chrono and GS, but for open world it's just not good enough. I finaly switched to Mirage after testing way to much chrono build, and I never come back, Mirage is amazing, kill trash and boss fast, ton of evasion, utility and pretty easy to play. The only downside : torment rune are very expensive. But you need them to made the build that effective, however, you won't regret it I promise. It a fast and dynamic playstyle and yet very fogiving if you do error. Here is the build I run on it : http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PiABc+drlRwSYQMEmJWyP6vOA-zRRYcxHHZQjlRXVVmpq3zivTbA-e (you only need 1 axe) If you want to stick on chrono cuz you love it I don't really have solution, it's a good class but for solo open, lot of thing will be unbeatable with it. S/S are good in raid/fractal or some meta where you can stand close with not to many risk, but most of the time for solo open world it's just bad as soon as you try something harder by yourself. The problem with chrono is : the burst and especialy aoe is a fantasm on GS, and against a pack of mob like raptor, if the main target die, then the skill end too which let you with no defense. TLDR : for easy open world content chrono is fine, for harder solo, forget it, majority of other class will do way better. Like I said at start, Mirage is one of the king of open world. But please, don't use staff build. It's can be good for lazy people, but it's just bad. Damage are abysmal compared to axe/torch. Once you get used to axe you'll never come back, it's stupidly strong, I still don't have find any encounter I can't solo with it.

EDIT : Nvm I was just a noob ! The 2 sigil I've change help me a lot (leeching+energy) and now than I'm finaly familiar with all the new spell I noticed the 2 evasion, that help me a lot too now than I don't wast them. All test-champ done easily now :) Thx for the build, very funny to play. Last question I guess : Why the weakness trait in weaver instead of hp ? For now I use the hp one since I lack some dire part to reach 20k, but I'm curious about yuor choice :)

> @"Raubtiercheen.8925" said: > Hello there. > I played GW2 a few years ago, before the Expansios came out. I played only for a few weeks and wanna give it a try now again. Got all expansions now, But I really can‘t decide which class to play. > I‘m more a noob here, so I guess a simple class would be better for the start. To figure out how this all works =) But it should also be a class, that I can play in every game mode (is there such an Allrounder class?) I would like to join WvW then and be able to survive solo there. > Maybe necro or ranger. Or also engineer, but I guess engi is too difficult. But I like the idea with an hammer wielding charr :3 > What do you guys think would be nice choice ? > Thank you very much for your help. <3 There is nothing difficult about any class, it's just about personal feeling. Many people will said warrior is easy, yet I struggle with him in many encounter. Was afraid to play Ele or Engi because of what ppl said about them, well, It took me 1 day to understand and play Ele well enough to solo champ and leggy.. Engi is "hard" but not because of his playstyle but because he's really lacking of good spell and have to compensate with kit spam, which get resolved when you get elite spec who are more efficient and fun to play. So, don't be afraid about "difficulty", just read, look video, try them (go lv1, do tuto, tp in PvP, here you'll be 80 with all skill and elite spe, so just try them). Once you find 2-3 you like start leveling and by playing them you'll find what you really love. Every class have build for every content. Some are better in some aspect of the game than other but that all, nothing it's unplayable. So, really, try a bnit and pick what look fun to you :)

Thank, I'll definitly try it :)

Oh didn't see this thread ! Some of mine ^^         And finaly, my lil'boy :) 

Does this last version is the best balance between dmg and resistance ? I would love to try weaver to see, so far, like expected, most build I see from some website or youtuber was very bad for soloing a bit more difficult thing than trash mob.. Maybe I'll try a Dire version 1st to save some money ^^ You was the one who answered me about Ele on a thread I made long time ago and give me the faith to go with it. And I would like to thank you for that it's now my main. I play mostly fresh/air tempest but not the usual, I've made my personal and I've solo every champ you did + more and even some leggy. I recently killed the bandit "the quick" and the leggy who came after ^^ I've try condi tempest for a while, it's not bad but find the air one better and more convenient for the rest of the content while condi tempest is only good on boss (lack good aoe, can't reset overload and really need this + signet to get the most dmg), that why I'm curious about condi weaver. My build have less burst/resistance than yours but many recover option and distraction with both elemental glyph pet (earth one are so tanky, even the little, it's easy to end-up with 4-5 pet at the end and can swap the big one for a water to get even more heal). I'll let it here if some people want to try a fresh/air that is not in paper (perma protection + 2+ pet + many aoe + mid-range). Cast glyph in earth when you need more protection, heal glyph in water only if you take a very big it, otherwise, earth. Very easy to use, 3 heal in water with water field and explosion combo + water overload for even more (most of these skill while also heal your pet) Overload are stun-break so I don't need more of them since I overlad very often and can easily delay it a bit when I know a stun is coming. Break-bar from elite water/earth, 4 from air, 4 from water, 3+5 from earth, less ele glyph in water if need more, earth overload.. yeah, that plenty) Staff is for meta farm only. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PGwEsEmpMBWDbhVxIxS55rtD-zRJYiRX/p0kIoMhQEKiKkIGdW+dZD-e Happy new year and thanks for sharing your experience with other :)
