pardon my confusion.. Not to combine which 3 ?

OWP, Quickness and one of LB2 or LB5 or axe 5 ? or ????

would appreciate a bit more explanation...

ty

So I decided to try Soulbeast dps.. for T4s ( no CM )

would like your advice on a few things…

I have Discretize & Metabattle rotations, but … Is there ** simpler /easier rotations** ?

( a few steps is ok, but 20 to 30 steps are hard to memorize )

Which weapon combo would offer for easier rotation

Longbow or GS ? Sword/Axe or Dagger /Axe ?

Thanks again !!

Hey all,

I’m trying to make a dps toon for for T4 pugs ( no CM ) with easy rotation with good enough dps output.

some other forum threads mentioned some Soulbeast build rotation is one of easiest,..but when I read on both metabattle and discretize, it doesn’t seem easy/ simple.

Any suggestions ? build/gear you can share ?

Thanks !

while it’s noted Viper/ Sinister mix is ideal,….

**for survivability in T 4 pugs**, as Roul said in his video,…

Is using Plaguedoctor/ Trailblazer gear a good idea ?

if not, What gear mix is advised for Survivability ?

Thanks !

Hey all,

I’m progressing thru T4s as a HB, want to try out a dps build for flexibility.

I’d prefer to dps as a FB, since I’m already familiar with it.

saw this burn FB build at link below …

Is that viable in T4s/ cm ?

Any tweaks you’d advise ? Or any other good builds ?

Thanks in advance !

[https://youtube.com/watch?v=b-VYTrW5XvE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-VYTrW5XvE)

for Fractals,

Wuffy's video mentioned Plaguedoctors gear.

How's Healing power useful for dps ?

Any other alternative gear options would you guys suggest ?

pardon my ignorance. Is Condi dps same as Quickbrand ? Can a pDPS fb be a quickness support too ?

I'm also confused about pdps QB vs Condi QB, as they say Zerk/ diviner vs Viper/ sinister....

Hey all,

I read on both metabattle and discretize, but still unsure what dps option to run.

I think those builds are for Static CMs, but I’m looking for Regular T4 pug runs.

so, for **normal T 4 pug ( no CM** ), ...What DPS build/ gear would you suggest ?

Thanks in advance !

Hey all,

I’m getting ready for T4 Pugs as HFB.

Trying to balance between Survivalbility and optimal Support.

need help with minimum Heal / Concentration numbers..

Would anyone who run a HFB in T4 Pugs ( no CM ) share a Gear Optimizer link ?

Thanks in advance ..

searched, not found.

So, If I may have **accidentally Destroyed ** or sold it, ...

Is it Gone forever ? ( Is this Chest drop only 1 time / acct ? or Can another toon play chapter and get it again ? )

pardon me if it wasn't clear,..I've unlocked "Amnoon Indepedence" and collected 13 of 14 items.

I'd like to know how to get This missing item. mentioned above ( didn't get it by replaying chapter )

hey guys,

for " Amnoon Independence " Achievement item – “ Reinforced Tack “ (https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Reinforced_Tack )

Although I already played "Crystalline Memories." , I don’t have the item somehow, **Replayed chapter** but didn’t get it.

What should I do ?

Do I have to Re-play the chapter on a different Character/ toon ?

( hope not, b/c having to play thru Act 1 of PoF )

Thanks in advance

Armen,

Thank you ! for such constructive advice.... just 1 question..

What's a Glass Canon dps ?

thanks all....

sry,...forgot to mention,.. I'd **prefer to be ranged..**

so, from I learned so far, [ this Fresh Air Tempest](https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Tempest_-_Power_DPS_(Fractal)) might work.

suggestions to make it stronger to survive ? ( I think I might not play higher than T3 )

Ty again !

hey all,

like the title says, seeking advise based on Fractal Survival then, good dps among Ele, Mes, Necro...

( ruled out Weaver due to squishiness )

Thanks in advance..

So,..about T 3 PUGs, I saw some groups are wanting HFB ….

Well, I was thinking of my gearing towards More for DPS help, b/c

I was told ,..Healer isn’t “usually “ needed until T4…

Ur thoughts / advice?

super Thanks ! .... to all of u 4 advice...

a bit confused about Ascended Recipes (Armorsmith)..

per Wiki, to get Zehtuka's (Harrier's) recipes for full set is gonna be agonizing process.

Should I make cheap pieces and then Change Stats ?

if so, which stats seem to be cheapest to make ?

Any other paths ?

ty in advance again !!

Hey all,

Just started with T 1s on my HFB,.. wishing to start collecting gear for long term…ie to T 2,3,4 and CMs later. ( currently have Harrier gear , staff/mace - shield)

I’m running T1s daily with PUGs, and wanting to do T 2s soon...and on.

Should I get Minstrel’s gear or Harrier’s ? Change gear as I progress ?

Those of you Support FBs running T 4s and CMs, what Gear/ weapons do you have ?

any other advice ?

Thanks in advance !

Hey guys,

Hey guys/

for **Fractals**….**as of now, 08/20**

Is Guardian still a safe bet ?

other two similar classes that also can do well in fractals ?

Thanks in advance !

Thanks for advice..

I think some professions May be easier than others for this purpose.

Really hoping to hear from some players who have played a variety of professions.... :)

Hey all,

I’m trying to make a toon, using Lvl 80 boost **for “ Mats farming “.**

Need it **to Take damage / Survive and Escape / Run from mobs** while I’m gathering Nodes..

It doesn’t need to fight, just pick Mats and run, ie- dodging/ Evading/ Self Heals etc..

What’d you advice for such profession ?

Thanks in advance !
