Intriguing stuff. So this is closer to realistic numbers for the majority players, instead of highest dps potential builds that all but the most diehard is incapable of performing to perfection with superlong button chains.

Note: These aren’t highest possible DPS potential test results but something what above average pugs (around 70-90th percentile) might do on tested builds. The point is to give some sort of guideline about how builds compare with various trait and weapon combinations as the differences can be surprisingly small and for some people alternative weapon combination might work better than optimal due to possibly easier rotation and more suitable playstyle. At least Kitty fails hardon some long/tight metarotations and does better by simplifying.

Clear to see how terrible the renegade legend is. But I did not expect Shiro to be so good with condi builds even. But i guess its impossible odds being the deciding factor for shortbow plinging. But its depressing to see how low our power builds rate. But I take its mainly citadel bombardement propping up power renegades.

Legendary is for fashion, and being able to change the stat at will.

Read the last couple posts, you get 5 shards per heart. You could get 50 in two days from that alone.

While holding the backwards movement button for movementskill with beetle, it drifts to the right when you press left, and vice versa for pressing right.

whereas holding a seperate movementskill button drifts correctly.

Inscribed shards is not hard to get, had them all on the first day. They frequently respawn in kourna.

Springer, Griffon and Skimmer are my primary mounts. I use Griffon all the time, its simply too useful with snap vertical ascent and gliding. Sure its slower than raptor, but its just by far more mobile. I never use raptor, simply outclassed, and only use jackal for sand portals. Beetle is useless.

I think the fractal nicely sinced and not needlessly large and labyrinthine like Twilight Oasis. It is good to not have an overly long fractal.

Think you mixed up something.

This event has a 2 hr respawn time and occurs 20 minutes past the hour. It will rotate maps so it will occur in the same map every 6 hrs. For EST it is every even hour, for PST it is every odd hour. For UTC it is every even hour.

Gendarran Fields –> Timberline Falls –> Iron Marches –> Repeat

After the timer, a big Legendary Ley-Line Anomaly will spawn in one of the three maps indicated by your Ley-Infused Lodestone. It will star running with a breakbar. Until you break that breakbar, it is invulnerable and will not stop.

do the 10point hcs in pof or hot, much MUCH faster.

Also there isnt enough hps in central tyria for a single espec.

make a support ticket and ask for a restore.

The collections is one of the easiest. Take a look at it before you turn your nose in the sky. And Anet fixed most of the bottlenecks in it.

Beettle is just a horrible novelty mount, nothing more. Any fun from using it is completely sucked out because it takes way too long to get started on speeding again.

Not sure what youve eaten, but I thought the ep3 story was very good and loved the ending and the ambigousness about the fate of Aurene. But I do agree that the elder dragons is some of the most uninspired enemies, and Balthazar was not much better.

The roller beetle currently have no useful spaces among the mounts due to poor design, simply takes too long to be able to get back up to speed if you pause to gather or you flub and hit something. Fun-ruiner.

You only need the mount for a couple poi's and a mastery point. Its almost completely irrelevant to the story, save the tangential relation to the trial.

Beetle needs revision. It -must- start with full endurance. and give players more control on the speed. Only burn endurance for superspeed while you hold down space.

Tricks is completely and utterly useless. Way too easy to loose momentum from hitting snags in the world, and then you have to wait 10 seconds before you can speed up again.

they said that the beetle base speed is 80% of raptor.

beetle needs significant revision if its to be anymore than a novelty mount

Its not bugged, some mobs just dies easilly. And a LOT of people is trying for them right now.

Theres no endless gear progression in Guild wars 2, it is one of the things that is harder to get used to over other mmos.

But yes, I agree on that 80 levels is too many. Guild wars 1 did fine with just 20 levels. They should have kept that.

Also, masteries are post 80 progression. A lot of effort for HoT and central Tyria, but noticeably toned down in pof.

Ls2 is a fine example of -thoughrough and deep use of assetts in just two maps, going back and forth between them, as well the old world.

we are only 3 episodes into ls4. Ls3 had 6 episodes and ls2 had 8. So no, not remotely done with ls4 yet, we still have to deal with krakaltorik before going anywhere else.

Personally Ive stopped using the beetle, currently little more than a novelty mount. Needs significant revision to be useable.

not like ls3 is invalid anymore. All is endgame. more variety is good. Something for everyone. dont try to impose your desires on everyone else.
