Hello!

I used to play a lot of GW2, took a long break, and recently came back to the game. I play alone 99% of the time, and wanted to change that, so I'd like to find a guild.

I'm interested mostly in PvE, but don't mind some sPvP or WvW from time to time. I would love to try raiding and CM fractals, as that is the only content I haven't experienced yet. However, I don' intend to be a metagame fundamentalist and chasing only end game activities, I enjoy off meta comps and doing whatever, as long as the group is having fun.

What I can offer to a guild:

- All 9 classes capped with elite specs fully unlocked.

- I have two sets of ascended gear for each armor class, and all ascended weapons, so gear isn't an issue. However, unless it's exclusively required, I would like to focus on my mesmer (with full diviner for chrono and full viper for mirage), which is my main, and my ranger (full berserker for soulbeast and full harrier for druid) or thief (full berserker) as my alts.

- I'm fairly competent with mechanics, I used to pug T4 fractals everyday, and I enjoyed soloing some bounties. I could use some practice with my rotations tho, since last time I was up to date with the meta was a long time ago.

- A friendly presence and will to help when needed. I like to profess tolerance to everything except intolerance =)

My only requirement is that the guild isn't too over-crowded.

I'm male, 30 years old, and can speak English, Spanish and Russian. I'd prefer an English speaking community tho. Besides GW2, I'm interested in music (used to be a metalhead and still enjoy it, Nightwish is my favorite band of all time, but in the past few years I've started exploring many other genres), literature, photography, and all types of humor. I'm playing from Argentina, so my ping is usually around 160-190, but that has never been an issue.

Thanks for reading =)

Ok, I've found out that the sigil of concentration is obligatory, that's fine.

Currently I only have 100 AR so I can't benefit from the potion that much. And even if I can, I don't like relying on consumables.

Will the build work just as fine if I sacrifice some berserker pieces for commanders in order to reach 100% boon duration without food?

Hello all!

I'm interested in getting into the support chrono. I've been reading a lot of guides and builds, but as some were a bit outdated, I have a few questions:

- Is it still possible to achieve permanent alacrity and quickness with one chrono? As some of the builds I've seen are from before the clone rework.

- How many (and which) commander pieces do I need to achieve 100% boon duration without consumables?

- How many (and which) commander pieces do I need to achieve 100% boon duration without consumables nor Sigils of Concentration?

- According to the last patch notes, Aegis sharing has been severely nerfed. That's one boon, I'm ok with it, but what about Chaotic Persistance going down to 2% from 3%? Does it affect the older builds found on sites like MetaBattle?

- Any general tips you can offer me?

Thanks!

Thanks but that's not what I'm looking for at all.

Any comments on using marshall gear?

Hello all!

I'm looking for a set with stats that can compliment all the strengths of the Guardian at once, even if it doesn't reach the benchmark numbers of specialized sets like berserker or viper.

Specifically, I am looking for something that can make use of core and DH's power damage, and FB's condi damage and healing, all at once. I know, it won't be as effective as the meta, but 90% of my time I'm just doing open world stuff, dungeons or lower tier fractals. I like to make use of the strengths of a class without needing to swap gear.

Currently I'm considering marshall or celestial stats, and I have two questions:

- What can be the approximate difference between those stats and a meta build? For example, approximately what percentage of damage a marshall DH will lose to a zerker DH, or a marshall FB to a viper FB?

- Can you recommend me other stat combos?

Thanks!

Thanks guys, I ended up purchasing an exotic set.

Hello!

The recruitment description sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. I'd love to join, if you would have me.

Short foreword:

I started playing a few years ago, right after HoT was released. I never touched the game before, and together with a few friends we decided to start free accounts, play through vanilla and decide if we will purchase the game when we get to level cap. So I did. They, however, stopped playing before that. But I loved the game, I wasn't decided to purchase the xpac if I would play alone, so instead I got 100% map completion on my free account.

I stopped playing as well and went back to WoW for Legion. I played it a lot, and achieved more than I initially hoped for. But after a long time focusing only on WoW and nothing else, I decided to try something else. I remembered how much I enjoyed my experience on my free GW2 account, so I said screw it, and purchased both xpacs as a self-birthday present (while also cancelling my WoW sub).

My only regret is not having done it earlier.

So, here I am. I just finished both the HoT and the PoF main story lines, and I'm loving it.

At this point I would like to find more people to play with. I had a semi-hardcore mindset in WoW, and I was looking to change that here and go for a more laid back approach. In the short-mid term I'll be focusing on getting 100% completion on the expansion maps, catching up with the living world stuff, farming masteries and maybe trying a few alts.

If any guild would be kind as to take me into their ranks, I'll appreciate it. If possible, I prefer communities that aren't very over-crowded.

Some personal info:

I'm 28, born in Ukraine but living in Argentina, can speak Spanish, English and Russian, can use Discord, usually play for a few hours in the afternoons on week days, and rarely on weekends. My main is a mesmer on Sea of Sorrows with full exotic gear (two sets, one for power and one for condi) and both elite specs fully unlocked. I like prog metal/rock, literature, and will make a lot of jokes/references to weird nerdy stuff.

Thanks for reading!

I just came back to the game, I never did any serious content besides dungeons and world pve, I just finished the HoT storyline and I'm starting the PoF one.

Last time I played I farmed an exotic berserker set. I've seen that mirage however is more focused on condition damage. I know that exotic is not that hard to farm, but still, I'd like to know if there is a viable (even if not optimal) power build for mirage. Also, what are the best stats for a condi build? And what is the optimal way to get exotic gear with those stats? (I won't bother to get ascended for a long time.)

Thanks
