I tried it in PvP and destroyed ppl (they probably were bad tho :( ) Sadly i dont have the SP for Weaver atm and tbh i'm kinda scared because I keep reading it's a really hard build to perform well with. And also that Weaver isn't that great atm (other classes do everything better) > Necro: necros can do everything (even tho they arent the best at any one thing), fantasy wise very very nice. But somehow I dislike how the weapons play, I can't put my finger on it > Mesmer: Aesthetic is amazing, Overall feel is also quite nice (love the GS and pistol playstyle , pew pew) , shattering also feels cool. And even though you can't really heal with this class it's still a strong contender for how cool the class is. > > TLDR: i still haven't decided and i'm a mess > > Just by readding you I can say the 3 cloth profession are what appel you the most. The good thing is, since they're cloth all of them, you can use the same ascended gear for all of them ;) That exactly the situation I was few week ago xD The exact same class was appealing me and only yesterday I finaly decide to go fully on my Mirage (mesmer). Harder to play than my necro, it's more dynamic and pretty unique, really love it. You're closer than you thing to find your way, now, the only thing that can help you is time, test and gold. Yes you'll need all those 3 to test as many build as possible with all of them and sooner you'll find which one is the ONE ^^ Have fun dude, take your time, nothing gonna go away ;)

1st : Their is many lag problem due to some map, that not in your side (pof and after mainly, not always and not for all, can varie). For other, it doesn't matter how good your conf' is if you don't optimize it. Don't underestimate how a mmo, especialy old one not optimized for the tech we got now. Here is a channel I use to optimize my PC, it's simple to follow even if you don't know anything and it work very well (I've earn +40fps in some place and all my pc is way more fast). => Don't stop at this video, look at his other and do all you can, you won't regret it :)

I've give up since many day on it. Even both E-spe was not fun enough to keep me in (but way better than core). In the end of all my test, Mesmer & Thief are what appeal me the most core and their spe are amazingly fun to play. @"yLoon.5289" "melting mob" is doable by anyone w/o effort and any build. Doing HoT HP alone is another thing. If you can solo balty avatar, Coztic, Chack in auric and so on, then go ahead and show me, I'm curious about it tbh. But so far I was struggling hard for the 1st time to made them. I've level up and farm e-spe ALONE, in any other class but rev (not up yet) and it's was sometime hard but doable. But engi ? Uuf.. @The boz.2038 Totally explained what's wrong with engi. Add to that the extreme lack of weapon diversity and it become boring and tedious.

Hello @"OrangeWaffle.4287" > Necro: haven't played it very much and the Warlock type is what I always play in other games, but as said i'd like to do everything and i've read that condi or heal Scourge isn't that good. Aesthetically and fantasy-wise this and Mesmer is my favourite. > Mesmer: Very cool fantasy wise and aesthetically but i keep reading it's very difficult. Also it's not able to heal and i do like doing that from time to time. I like the whole clone/pet thing though. Combat wise it is quitte fun. > I'm a casual, I tend to play, stop to go elsewhere and come back du to the same reason. This time I've back with a bunch of friend and 2 of you had the same problem. I'm a guy who like building on his own and theory-craft a lot. So here is my 1st tip : DO NOT ASK OTHER PLAYER WHAT TO PLAY. Why ? Because most player try to sell their favorite class or just swear by the meta word. And meta is not a thing that is fix in the long run. I also came across another problem from these player who share build like "able to solo open world", most of them (they're is exception) clearly don't solo any though champ/leg and their build are just about dps and can't do anything difficult alone. The moment when you give your taste and ask for advice is fine, but never ask people what you should play. So, now that is said, like you these 2 class are the one I really want to be in. 1st, all class can do all content efficiently, you just have to get the right build/gear for it, don't go like you'll never have to switch gear/skill, that not how this game work and so far, it's not a problem once you get used to it. I also like the condi style more, I'm a "mage" / "support" player in most of mmorpg I've played in the past. I've give up on the heal/support for now, cuz it's only useful on rare occasion, most of the time you'll just have pain when alone unlike you've already many other gear to change build. That not my case I've pretty much all weapon in ascend and 1 light armor in ascend + jewel, that all. And for now I enjoy open world while doing meta alone or with people and soloing though boss like blademaster, balthazar, hot mastery, bounty from pof etc.. I think the open world is amazing here. If you're interested I can share my Necro build that is capable of solo pretty much everything, do good damage to not be a pain to chain trash mob and are really easy to play. I'm currently working on a Mirage, I now staff/staff is a popular solo, but the damage are way to low to be enjoyable so I'm trying some variante, can't share it for now since I don't have end testing and can't guaranteed it work. Note : the Mesmer weakness (mirage at least) is that all your clone/phantasm will disappear if you kill a trash and it can be a problem against a large pack of mob or in meta. I've play Ele and both of his e-spe in power and condi, it's pretty fun, but I find the 2 other more my taste in animation and look, especially the Mesmer. Underwater skill's of Ele clearly have the best look ! Also it's not difficult at all like some player say, like any class, read your skill, and practice, don't be afraid by what you read, just go for it and try if you like it. Winter event is amazing to made money, if you can, farm a lot the puzzle in hard mode (not very hard in fact once used to it) and sell gift, I made ton of money (friends of mine too) and that how I crafted many ascended weapon and buying some expensive cool skin :) Go for it ! TLDR : Test everything, use metabattle and youtube build, and adapt them to fit your test or made something completely new. And when you'r not sur about how something work in your class (can eb tricky some time) ask in forum or in game chat, you'll get answer pretty much every time, the community of this game is amazing :) Gear wise (for condi) : Choose about what you do most : Solo open world : Rabid (for class that profit from crit / thoughness like mesmer or necro) or Dire for those who don't. Both are very cheap to get in exo. Also, expertise (condi duration), is useless in solo/open world, you'll give up to much on fast damage and will take age to kill trash, not fun at all, only very high hp boss are worth the investissement on expertise from my experience. Group content : Viper all the way. If you can't get it for now aim for Sinister until you can craft Viper. PVP / WvW, no idea, not tested yet, better to ask player who know ^^ Hope it help, have fun :)

I don't plan to do legendary since I only play 1 char now I don't see the benefice of it over ascended. So I keep all of them and when I need money (I've buy many gemme and cosmetics recently) I sell them for gold. If you plan to do some leg that need it, then just stack them.

Core minion, really. Anyone tried to sell is favorite class don't have read your message. Core minion is a lot about lay back, still good dmg, and very safe for people who can't react fast. Use axe+foce as main weapon. Dagger+warhorn to heal/fill. Staff for meta/farm train. Summon all minion, press skill on CD, use shroud as soon as you can, spam 1 (use 4 if close from mob). Don't forget minion skill, don't be afraid to blew up the 2 little one for more dmg. That it. Play it in Marauder so you've even more hp so you'll be even more safe and still do good dmg for 80% of the content. I've even kill Baltazar, chak in auric, vampire, etc, alone, easy. Here is an exemple, feel free to change anything that plz you, just keep at least 70% crit. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PSAFcsFaYZBMK2EriNij0T1qE-zRZYBxsFkvY4CCjoqqKVVHA-e Have fun.

Depend. Chronomancer is amazing to support in PvE instance. Ele have some good build with Cata to heal, especially in WvW. Chrono is harder to play than ele heal. Both are fun in their way, I like Ele more in general. Ele DDs can also be pretty good at stacking might but that all for support. Take them both, try them, and choose suit to your own taste.

Didn't take long to get all if you play the game. People should stop looking at anything like a grind and wanna everything fast and free. Skyscale is a fun adventure that bring you around the world, just enjoy the trip, skyscale won't disappear, take your time.

I find it creepy :x

> @"Ashantara.8731" said: > Is it possible that you have already discovered this recipe before? If so, it is no surprise that the combination is unavailable in the Discovery tab. No cuz I already checked before looking on the wiki to discover them. That said, material finally appear on the table, dunno why but hey, it work now, so that fine :> Thx everyone fort trying to help, still no clue what happen but, well.. ^^'

I'll try in another town, didn't think of this

Hello, 1st thx for answer, then : 1 - I'm 500, not my 1st job or craft 2 - No, not in invisible bag, I've try in bank, in material bank and in inventory, nothing worked. Don't have try yet since, but it was definitely not normal. I was seeing any other item with no problem.

Nah I won't give up ! xD I'm sur elite are worth it, but a buff on core would be nice in the futur ^^

Definitely yes, I've level up all class but thief/rev until now, and never add so much trouble and frustration with a core spec.

Yeah was thinking the same. Probably gonna need to buy a full set of dire or smth like this to help him go through

Chrono Assassin + Marauder with Privateer Runes GS + Scepter/Focus with Accuracy + Strength Heavy clone and shatter use, good condi cleanse and sustain Illu - Inspi - Chrono Very good at soloing thing and staying alive ^^

Thx for reply, I've opted for a full body Assassin and all the other part in marauder (mostly wooden potato's Cata gears, work very well). It give me pretty balanced stat and so far I'm soloing just well with it. I've take also some idea from @"LuRkEr.9462" build especially the part for condi cleanse with inspiration (honestly it changed my life in open), some in Metabattle and have change/add my own taste (more shatter's food) and it's amazing ^^ So, thank you :) Edit : for curious here is the result : http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PixAEt3lVwUYdMPWJmWXZNdA-zRRYbhJG17yIwUNiqy+B-e
