Hey Hizen, its nice to see that you are doing videos again :) i remember that condi revenant you made before you took a break from the game.

Seeing as you are updating your build videos, and you seem to be having trouble with reve, you might want to check the Battle Scars trait line. it seems to be doing quite well with power builds. I been using this build for a week and it feels to me altmost as powerful and tanky as your one man army warrior build (when it came out). you might get some ideas from it for when the time to revisit revenant comes

Before HoT, Rytlock was officicially considered a warrior class, however he used sword main hand and pistol off hand. Did warriors ever got pistol off hand? nope, and after he became revenant those animations were forgotten

Item: Draconic Wings Backpack and Glider combo gem store item

lider Combo gem store item

Race: Charr

Gender: female

Class: elementalist/ranger

Description: The glider it's ok, but the backpack is too disconected from the Charr back, this looks specialy bad when you unsheath your weapon.



each of the Charr legions actually could say to specialize in a different proffesion

Blood: Warriors

Iron: Engineers

Ash: Thieves

Flame: Elementalist

the problem with the meta, is that it changes... about a year ago there was a power/knight guardian build that was incredibly tanky and bursty thanks to the trait that increased crit % by 50% if had a certain buff (forgot wich one). and now that trait was nerfed.

D/D Condi daredevil was pretty much unkillable when HoT came out, since then both its condition dmg and endurance regen has been nerfed.

right now, trailblazer/dire weaver is incredibly tanky and does insane burn and bleed dmg. but who knows how long will that last before they get hit with the nerf hammer

It's been 4 months since these wings came out, but this bug still persist nowadays. This otherwise perfect dragon looking wings backpack/glider suffer from a visual bug where on some races, most noticable Charrs with their weapons unsheathed or Asuras when gliding, the wings are too separated from the character's back.


personally i would love gs or offhand sword thief with a laijutsu style of gameplay similar to FFXIV's samurai class where you acumulate resources, and then use the laijutsu button to release a skill that is completely different depending of the amount of class resources you had when you used it ( in ffxiv it was either a dot, a frontal cone aoe, or a very hard hitting single target spike)

as much as i would love this however, considering thief allready got 2 elite specs centered about doing damage, most probably what they will get is a support spec with some weird weapon choice like focus or torch

i use Lord Hizen's spellbreaker build wich was made to be able to solo events and even some champions like the avatar of Balthazar, the build still works and it had massive sustain trough 3.5k armor, might makes right/healing signet/rousing resilence, full counter. and still do pretty decent damage http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PKwAEdflZwOYYMLWJOWP7vcA-z1gYhgA3RNYCX0JInyIzUIiKwtDQookzyoiWA-w

there seems to be several bugs with the wings, i made a post showing one where they appear too separated from Charr´s characters back, they float behind them, and the same thing happens to Asura players when gliding

there is a similar bug with Charrs, however theirs is not when gliding, but while standing normally and mostly when they have their weapons unsheathed. i made a forum thread about it too https://en-forum.guildwars2.com/discussion/104232/draconic-wing-backpack-wings-too-separated-from-charr-s-bodies#latest

Hello, first let me thank you Anet for the amazing design of the draconic wings backpack/glider combo :) . and thanks for fixing with these what was the only problem with their precessor, the scaled wings; being unable to dye the backpack.

However there is one small visual bug with the wings. I dont know if this happens to all races, but is very noticiable on Charrs, specially when you unsheath your weapon, i hope this can be fixed because otherwise these wings are perfect.

Here i´m attaching a image showing this bug, the first image shows with my charr weapons unsheathed were you can clearly see the wings flying away from his back, the middle image is less noticiable but you can still see the wings floating a bit away from my charr back, and the right image is just a comparison with the Scaled Wings Backpack where you can see that these ones dont have this problem and are perfectly attached to his back

EDIT: This bug is not present when gliding with the wings by the way, when gliding the wings are perfectly attached to your back on Charr characters


This started to happen to me too some time ago, and unfortunally it seems to be because of Digital River Inc having some issues with my country (venezuela). I used to be able to buy without any problems before, but then i started to get this error each time i tried to enter the buy gems tab.

I had my suspictions so i loged into the game using a VPN and this time i was able to enter the buy gems tab without problems, and then found out that Venezuela has been removed from the list of billing countries and appears to be blocked by Digital River Inc.

So right now the only way for me to buy gems is either by the gold exchange, or by purchasing the now rares 2000 gems codes and enter them with a VPN (even if i try to buy gems normally with a vpn i get an error message after the final confirmation)

im just gonna leave this here, old video by Lord Hizen but no really major changes has been made and can personally confirm that still is viable

hard choice; Samurais were a diciplined military force in the past, they were experts in many weapons. Based on this, conceptually the warrior the closest thing thematically to a Samurai

On the other side, now talking about gw2's version of that concept, the whole of Shiro and the story behind him is thematically inspired on orient and japanese/samurai culture, however some of their methods (magic) have never afaik been part of Samurai culture anyway.

so basically.

closest to traditional samurai: Warrior.

GW2 version of what would be a Samurai: shiro

as a side note, there is actually a GS skin that looks like a Katana (Belinda's), since revenants can't use (yet) GS, then warrior is easier to mog into a samurai looking guy

more or less, im the kind of person that usually only chose a main and stick with it. However having been a tank character since forever i always look for the most bulky yet not so low in dps class, and during the first years of game i literally been hoping between characters over and over until now im sitting with all 8 classes but one, necro (i know is tanky but i dont like the class thematic)

thanks to Lord Hizen unkillable pve builds i have narrowed my choices to spellbreaker and weaver, however im remain 90% of the time as SB because while i like the dmg and gameplay of the unkillable weaver build, i never really liked spellcasters

Hello there, i used to play using the build Lord Hizen made for open world wich was made as a meta event soloer build

, unfortunally the build as he made it is no longer viable thanks to the nerfs to concentration sigil and Righteous Instincts.

I been trying to come up with an alternative build that allows me to reach similar stats to Hizen´s, but recovering some of the lost crit % and i came up with this alternative wich i was hoping i could get some suggestions or opinions about

This is the original build by Lord Hizen: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVEQNArdRnsAD97gFBDuCBEEhl4BzqEkviU7v0baPtKA0AqXA-jBCGQBLS9HAeGAqiSQA8IAUiyP0t/wZ0EYH9AAA-e

This is the alternative version i made using valk and knight stats wich while it loses about 700 toughness and 30% ferocity, it gains a bit more power, higher health, and 35% crit wich raises up to 90% crit chance with fury, righteous instincts and Radiant power: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vVEQNArdRnsAD97gFBDuCBEEhl4BrKA0AqXWlg8Vka/leT7pA-jxBBQB8b/BA8EA2j+gLp+TkUCSxTBQXU+BA-e

there are some spellbreaker builds that allow you to solo meta events, here is one by Lord Hizen wich still works today

> There is no king of the Open World PvE. Survivability depends on build and your skill. Some people can say "elementalist is a thrash because bla bla bla dies in one hit". Do you know that group event in Crystal Oasis a'ka Balthazar's Army? I did it solo as an auramancer tempest. This build provides a lot of protection, evades, healing, reflects... later I did it as a POWER scourge.

This pretty much, it seems that with the ideal build any class can become king of PVE, just search for Lord Hizen videos, he has quite the gift to come out with these kind of builds, currently he has 3 (scourge, weaver, spellbreaker) in his videos that still work and are quite able to solo champions and meta events with quite ease

lets be honest, the real reason why are we still doing this is because its a mdfriggin dragon mount. if it was, dunno, a giant eagle, a magic carpet, a magic carpet drived by Will Smith, we wouldn´t bother

got a reply yesterday asking me to provide screenshots of the errors i was getting, i did, now im still waiting for a new responce, i hope this is fixed soon, i was planing to use some of those gems to exchange to gold to help me with the skyscale collection and a new armor set for my elementalist

same here :/ allready a day and no answer to my ticket :c

i have bought gems in the past no problem, but recently i been unable to even see the Buy Gems tab, each time i try i get an error that says "Unfortunally an error has occurred. Please try again later!". i try redeeming a 2k gems code i bought but the Select Language tab doesnt show any language and the Redeem button stays grayed out

I had a hunch and tried loging in with a VPN and aparently my suspictions were right, Venezuela seems to have been removed from the list of billing countries and banned from making gem purchases. if i select another country trough a VPN i do get payment options but im not sure if buying this way will get me banned. and if i try to redeem the code with a vpn im able to select language but after hitting Redeem i get an error message saying that something is wrong with the code (but it isnt i bought it from amazon )

I´ve sent a ticket to see if i can have some dev help, its not my fault i live in this piece of work country, its enought with the quality of life we have to go trough daily but why it must also affect me on my favorite game?

there seems to be a rumor though that Dulfy isnt updating anymore, the last time she updated was when the video teaser was released a couple of weeks ago, and since then she hasnt updated anything else not only in his gw2 thread but neither in the other games she covers

i honestly cant understand whats the hurry, we are used to farming for months for the good stuff (ascended/legendaries, etc) so whats a few days for a mount?. me personally im gonna wait for someone to release a guide (because aparently Dulfy isnt doing guides anymore) before starting to farm it because im not fan of treasure hunting

tbh knew she had to come back, and im glad she´s back, but im dissapointed in the way she came back. i feel that it was too fast, we grasped the shock of the moment because of the cliffhanger ending of the previous episode and the 4 months wait for this one. But imagine you are a new player that is just starting to complete the story, they will be like "oh daaaaang she die- oh wait now shes back"
