thats a nice setup :) i took it and modified a bit though, since dagger/warhorn with concentration rune is quite necesary to keep the massive boom stacking of the boom combo, also swapped the star sigil on GS for accuracy and replaced the agility rune in dagger to accuracy too (You are switching back to dg/wh to re cast the boom combo anyway so having agility sigil on dagger to trigger the Essence of speed trait with it at this point is irrelevant) this is order to fix the missing critical %.

 

and the result is this one http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNBhQD7kSFokFshXwjXgrFsgJYOHuG3jrZZNACA5v2bbvtEzXE-jlCBQBeRph+eAA9R3gGVGUSlg8b/BAcFAo4BBoLKxUo6PrDIAmSAw37FTJDpUKlSpUKJFwoCtA-w

Hello, im trying to make a solo champ/1vs army build for my ranger, im currently using a modified version of the Boon Berserker build from metabattle but using marauder stats instead of berserker http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNBhQD7kQFojXskFwhXglXsgJY5v2bbv15w14ecNLrBQAokFNH-jVCXAByq+joPBQXg8XAgHUCKsSCAUuFiGBePIAku/QAAEgAdGczbezbezbGpAoSZE-w

 

taking a leaf out of Lord Hizen i threw myself agaisnt the forged army event to see if i could solo it like he did here (

) and to my surprise, i was able to do it

 

however it took a lot of effort and it was no easy, the perma 25 might stacks and other booms make you extremely durable but still, having 10+ enemies on top of you, moving/dodging and all i still had to play very defensively to not die.

 

so i tried to modified the build a bit to add more toughness and i came with this knight version http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNBhQD7kQFojXskFwhXglXsgJYOHuG3jrZZNACA5v2bbvtEzXE-jVCXAB8eQAk/CAEk6Pku/wDKBF9JAIsSiS0NAgytAAIAB6M4m38m38m3MSBQlyI-w

 

considering this build its always at perma 25 might and fury the lost of 120 power, 20% crit dmg and 5% crit rate seems to me like a good trade off for an extra altmost 900 toughness, however what worries me the most is the lost of nearly 3k health, i really dont know how the mat behind stats work so i dont know if this last one is a good trade off, what do you guys think?

hi, i played quite normally this morning, however when i tried to log in tonigh the client is stuck on the message above, i have allready tried to flush my dns, restart my pc, restart my conection and nothing fixs the issue, and it only happens with GW2 because i have other 2 mmos installed in my pc and i can enter them normally.

 

anyone know why is this happening? like i said, i was playing normally just this morning, and i havent done anything at all on the pc since that moment so i dont know why all of the blue my pc cannot make conection with the gw2 servers

 

EDIT: i was able to log in using a VPN, but why all of the sudden do i need a vpn to play? i have never needed it before to play gw2

Hi, im trying to find a viable build for either d/d tempest or sw/d weaver that allows me to, if well played, be able to either solo a great number of enemies or even solo some champs.

 

i tried metabattle but the builds there seem to be quite squishy, after watching a couple of Lord Hizen videos where he soloed the lake doric centaur camp with a guardian (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqageOLpgio) and even solo the forged army in pof with a spellbreaker (

) using for both, custom builds that are not in metabattle, i was thinking if there might be a chance that someone has made up a viable custom d/d tempest or sw/d weaver that allows him to solo armies?

the new scaled dragon wings backpack/glider combo looks amazing Anet, thanks a lot for it, i specially like how they flap both while gliding and jumping

 

however its a bit sad that while we can dye the glider any color, the backpack is just black, i would suggest atleast a white and brown versions for the future too, just like the feathered wings.

 

since the glider can allready be dyed the models are there, it shouldnt be too complicated to implement a couple more versions with different dye

i havent had too much issue with IP change on DD tbh, for solo pve content trickery/crit/DD is enough to have a good fury update and be unkillable while still having very strong dps, for any kind of group content you will probably have extra fury from someone else so you can just swap trickery for deadly arts for the extra damage

maybe if/when she dies, everyone is mourning at her deathbed, then someone starts saying "i can still hear her voice", then several people starts saying the same thing, then realize her voice its coming from Scruffy, having "done a Blish" making everyone had a near heart attack, turning a sad moment to a funny one in half a sec because Taimi refrained from telling them because she herself didnt knew if it was gonna work and didnt wanted to raise their hopes.

 

dark i know, but not un-gw2-ish

What came to a blow to the head was that in some cutscenes she even walks normally, so i though "hey, she must be getting better!", then pop goes the bubble. I know they said that her condition is terminal, but i really hope they find a way to save her somehow. Dragon Watch its the succesor of Destiny´s Edge and they have barely started to shine, if would look horrible if one of their members died so fast. Besides Taimi has been the whole brains behind the team since, well, since she appeared basically, i don´t imagine the team finding a way to deal with the remaining Elder Dragons without her brains.

 

Maybe she does die but takes a leaf out of blish and transfer her mind to Scruffy?

those who have allready defeated bosses in the new raid and gotten the one currency must have noticed, for those than dont; in the description of the new currency (Legendary Divination) it has written that they are used as one of the ingredients for the legendary ring Coalescense, since this is a item that drops from all bosses, i asume you would need a certain amount to use for the ring (otherwise it would be too easy). anyone that has obtained both the precursor ring and a legendary divination from the new raid could test this out? just go to the forge and put both items on 2 of the mystic forge slots, the forge should recognize the ring recipe and point out how many are needed for the legendary

my little death angel

 


 

same design on my ranger but with different gloves, just to see it from another angle

Imo, a charr that uses a bow would have to either be older than firearms, not wanting to relearn marksmanship on a rifle. Or they grew up far away from charr civilization.

Remember though that the race Arenanet themselves chose for a ranger hero npc was charr (Rox)

havent gone to raid recently on my thief, last time Thief were looked at with resentment in raids for their only contribution being dps and nothing else. do you guys consider this new steal skills will eventually earn thieves a solid spot on a raid team or at the very least allowed them to take a dps slot without the raid leader asking them to switch to another class?

the new bundles are very welcomed, i believe though that thief should be able to support its raid/group a bit more between steal CDs, my suggestion is that Arenanet make the Grandmaster buffs on the daredevil dodge to apply not only to the daredevil, but to atleast 5 more other people around the daredevil. a good Daredevil is able to esily keep these buffs on at all time, and it would be easy to apply to the raid since they are usually stacked togueter

its an exchange of being able to use skills without CD, imagine if skills like hundreed blades or whirling wrath could be spamed as long as there is available resources.

 

however yes, i do agree to because of this they should be able to bring something else to the table, thats why i mentioned that atleast they should make daredevil dodges grant their damage buffs not only to the daredevil, but to the ppl on their party too, good daredevils can keep their buff on at all times, so a permanent 10% in power/condi damage to the whole group would make them an welcome addition to any group content

imo thief needs something to bring to group content, lacking CDs is understandable why their overall dps has to be lowest than CD based professions, however they should bring something to group content so that people would actually like to have them on a group, most dps classes bring something unique to the overall party utility; SBs stances/druid healing, mesmer alacry, war banners, guardians on demand shield, engineer pin point, etc...

 

i allready made earlier today a post voicing my opinion that the daredevil Grandmaster dodges should also grant their respective buffs to the daredevil party, that way they would no longer be a selfish class and could actually contribute with a unique boost to the group.

> A nice idea, apart from the unhindered combatant trait... i can allready see the trolls using it to cripple the party.

 

If you mean because of the Exhaustion debuff, it wouldnt necesarily has to; the Dash from unhindered has 2 effects, granting the buff, and removing impairing conditions, granting exhaustion if it does. Anet could make it as it only grants the buff to the party, but only removes impairing conditions from de daredevil

I dunno if this has been suggested before, if it has, sorry for repeating it.

 

One of the main reasons Thief arent desired as much in party or raid content is because unless playing venomshare, they dont contribute nothing but damage to the group, and not even a high tier one. I know they try to make thieves more party friendly with Deadeye might sharing and stolen skill sharing changes, however the buffs they bring are buffs that you usually allready get from better sources in a group content.

 

So my suggestion would be to make so that the buffs from bounding, unhindered and lotus affect at least 5 ppl in the daredevil party, since a good daredevil can keeps these buffs on all the time i think it would be a good addition to the group and would make them wanted more since they would be bringing a unique buff to improve the group that no one else can give. What do you guys think?

if i were to chose a change for thief, it would be to make the grandmaster tiers of the Daredevil traitline to affect up to 5 people in your party, atleast that would give thiefs a couple of raid slots to help boost the raid dps

might be because of rotation, d/t requries you to time well your swaps and rotation in order to make the best use of quick draw, so its more complicated. sb alternative however is basically just pressing buttons as they come out of CD so its easy to play it optimal

most probably yeah, specially if the new elites bring something cool to the table (wishlist: GS revenant/thief, sword offhand thief, hammer/rideable pets ranger)

> Except taunt doesn't work on champions. It only deals damage to their defiance bar. Taunt also doesn't immediately make enemies in pve switch targets like it does players. The monster will often just finish whatever attack it was doing when your pet taunted it, even if "interrupted" pops up over the enemy's head.

 

my point is, that it lets you keep your tanking pet for when you need it

The thing is that you arent thinking outside of beast mode. Some times you will have to face a champion or extremely dangerous enemy that can one shot you. The taunt is good for those moments to unmerge and have your pet tank while you poke the enemy from behind

i think it happens if you spam press an attunement button too quick, i tried to automatize my weaver rotation using a macro wich basically spamed certain buttons, including attunement change, and this always happened

Maybe is because i just suck at ranger more than i think, or im actually much better at thief dunno. But i been testing the same contents with both classes recently, and im having way easier time with my berserker daredevil than with my Marauder soulbeast. Just the first part of the ls4 chapter, agaisnt the branded wyvern i downed on my ranger like 10 times where with my daredevil i didnt downed a single time

 

On the other side, you might as well take both if you're planing to raid because while thief is downhands unkillable if you know how to use it. It currently has no place in the raid meta, while ranger cover 2 spots (healer, condi)
