my Springer is named Everest.
thus its name is officially "Mount Everest"
and when it jumps, it's like it is on top of Mount Everest already.

in a fractals party, if you spec your character to do 30,000 damage just using 1 skill and self-sustaining, and the other 4 do the same, sharing might and constant @ 25, resistance, stab, inflicting vulnerability, etc.. what do you think will happen?
i asked an oracle about this and she said, "Done in 5 minutes.." she speaks metaphors..
anyway, this is different from rAIDS, where damage is scaled coz you're so many there..

the max damage that i inflict to a Gold Champion boss with GS skill 2 alone, with all the skill boosters (no item booster) like might and vulnerability maxed is 30,000++
so you now know why i am advocating traiting Weapon Cooldown Reduction..
-
i again see the pattern.
AMD+Nvidia = lower fps.
Intel Integrated Graphics can even do 11 fps facing a mapqueue zerg, with settings that is almost the highest settings..

k.
you're talking about raids.
im talking about fractals/dungeons.
big difference.
and pugging/joining on the fly in raids is fake news. raid guilds sell them.
and if raid guilds say you must bring banner, you have no choice..
while banner on 5 people is almost negligible.. if all of you have skills that do not gimp your damage, IN ANY WAY...

assuming that you bring the Strength and Discipline banners
4 attributes gets to +100..
ok
compare that to berserker stance, which when used will make your adren full (try to know if how many times) and balanced stance (coz if you got CCed by the boss equals no damage). and traits that lengthen the stances (so more fast adrenaline recharge). Berserker Stance will make any conditions on you useless too. (Blind, Weakness, anything that can gimp or prevent damage)
now go to the weapons = reduced recharge means weapon skill is almost being used everytime, yes? make your main weapons (GS/whatever) have reduced recharge
and tactics - 3 - 3 -3
and since your weapon is GS and you slotted the GS cooldown reduction, you have access to Might Makes Right?
Right?
so now compare Berserker Stance + Balanced Stance (on a stance duration increase) versus Str and Disc Banners
and yeah, if the boss is condi heavy inflicting damage gimping/prevention, +400 on the attributes, even when it's shared, is almost incomparable/useless coz your constant uninterrupted damage became 0 with the Bosses condis..

You'd need to remove the _reason_ why people are interested in that performance. So, basically, the only way would be to reduce the difficulty of the content. Only when your skill level won't matter for the completion chance, and won't significantly impact completion time the other players will stop caring about how good you are. The more impact your skill has on those things however, the bigger the number of players that _will_ care. And the stronger their reaction if they'll think you're dragging them down.

> Well to be clear. With this thinking you can have BiS gear on every slot but you'll still be outdpsed by people who know their class and use exotic or even yellow gear. Why? Because one of the most important things for your performance is your rotation. The difference between a good and a bad rotation here can be as high as the difference between the damage of a T1 to a T2 set in another MMO percentage wise. Srsly you can be surprised by how low you damage can be even with BiS Gear if you don't train your rotation on the golem and on the bosses. You'd be between the banner slave and the support chrono with your DPS if you just copy stuff and don't think on how to make it work.
so does arcdps dictate your "Rotation"?
of course you don't just 1111111 the Violet Boss Right? assuming that you've played a single class for how many, 7 years, you don't just 111111 right? there are 9 other skills, right?
and you can even not copy a build using a website and discover by yourselves that there are higher damage build customizations other than the meta builds in the website..
i can just bring a warrior without banners and still damage is still high... its called "traits for weapon/skill cooldown reduction.."
right?

of course when i said "highest possible damage" gear, it also entails that the traits, skills and sigils and runes contribute to that highest damage gear, rite?
so what's the use of having highest damage gear if you are gimping yourself by using less damage additional gear/traits?
put EVERYTHING on max and arcdps will have no use..
tell me what's the purpose of arcdps again?
to see that you can inflict the max damage..
which can be shortcircuited/roundedoff by using the highest possible build..
so you don't really need that arcdps..
unless you can do something rottingly fishy with it..

"Die on Point" is Much better.
coz 3 of them on your point/contested for you/before you die, some extra tick...
and 4 of your team mates are 2/2 on the other points and the 2 enemy is mostlikely raging on their teamchat..
-
arcdps obviously doesn't increase your damage.. it shows your damage and it is not needed coz you see the %health decrease when you hit a mob and if you equip the highest possible damage gear, what is the use of arcdps? seems redundant..

idk but everytime i do some pve stuff (fractal/dungeons), they are either silent or not toxic...

i remember that. they went to strike coz Tombs was all IWAY groups.. no one wants a Monk..
the ones with monks were GvG guilds who were doing fairly in GvG and they do some Tombs and get trashed by even an amateur IWAY group.
Necros were more sought after than Monks.. or should i say, monks had no use..

maybe your card activity was flagged as fraudulent.
90's CC hackers who steal CC information and try to buy stuff in early online e-commerce sites test the CC if its valid by buying 99 cents stuff. and if it goes through, they buy like $500 stuffs, like a shotgun blow..
same pattern detected so it was most likely the case..
if you gonna buy lots of gems because you wish to get the most expensive legendary out of the TP, make the purchases consistent..

i had that on my old pc. yesterday was doing ok and day after that i was playing in like slow mo graphics. i tried other games and seems fine.

while Mursaats cannot be a playable race, they are complementary to the Asuras. The Mursaats, since they are slow moving is more of a mage than the Asura, which can be a mage/warrior, since they are small. we all know that small things are have less mass and they tend to be agile.
so in a battle formation, i think of them as the atom. the Asuras are the electrons and the Mursaats is the nucleus. and if Mursaats is the nucleus, they can even be Categorized into two.
maybe the yin/yang | fire | water| ~ earth ~ air ~ Mursaats.
So think of the Mursaats as the Regents and the Asuras as their Loyal and Reverent protectors.
and by categorizing the Mursaats as the Regents, at the top is/are what binds them (Asuras and Mursaats) together.

WvWvW had the cannon siege. but it was a recent addition. thats like the tower cannon which you can spawn in ZergvsZerg terrain

it's PvE.
the trick is that you must include yourself in "E".
since its PvE, you fight against People, which are the people of your server, the people on the 2nd server and the people on 3rd server.
that's the REAL WvWvW.

been happening...
since 2012...
playing a warrior and all i see appearing out of nowhere are ranged classes.
-
they do it by keeping the red circles and 11112(goto1).
and if a class kills EASILY those, they nerf that class.
and we still see red circles and 11112(goto1).
and with Warriors, which is almost never been touched, you'll see the Trinity of Necro/Ranger/Warrior
and yeah, you will discover that they secretly LOVE the GW1 classic IWAY build.
http://gw1101.gtm.guildwars.com/community/guildweek/gotw-2006-10-17-yourmathteacher.php
they are waiting to see the Ported build to GW2, which is just Healing Druid Trappers, Meta-Scourges and Spellbreaker Face Tanks on Full Zerker Gear..

i pug. i trust what i see and what i saw..
so if you pug, mostlikely it won't be repeated again.
and if i pug, its usually BYOBuild.
