It's a way to calculate the damage output but not an accurate way to improve raid performances. And that is why you use the understanding+muscle memory you get from rotation training on the golem in actual raid situations.

I decided to roll a firebrand but am a little overwhelmed by the amount of bars and skills it comes with. I understand that most of my dps is supposed to come from the burn tomes, but I think maybe my rotation isnt correct because I do not seem to be doing very much damage. I was just hoping that someone could give me some general tips on how to PvE with firebrand. I have watched some videos online but most of them are outdated. > > I really appreciate any help :) https://snowcrows.com/raids/builds/guardian/firebrand/condition/ >Notes >Camp Axe at all times outside of your Tome of Justice, but try to always place Symbol of Punishment >before you use Tome of Justice. >There is no exact rotation for Condition Firebrand. Use your weapon skills and Flame Rush off Cooldown without interrupting your auto attack chain. Also scroll down and check the Opening rotation.

I am not aware that there is the option of being able to autoattack multiple skills at the same time? or did I miss this update? it is not how are you sure they are afk? They could speak another language or ignore msg from normal players only answering gms.

But the main could send them 500g through several mails, that would be infinitely easier than just sending 10k through mail lol. its 500gold a week through mail or guild bank and only need 1 mail. You can even send over 500, like for example 2000 on 1 mail but can only take it out 500 each week.

> @"Rik Stark.7289" said: > Thanks for your response Linken. I just can't seem to get started on my story here although I've tried several times, including quitting the 5. Champions episode 'Primordus Rising' and starting again, all without success. The other rather odd thing is that on my world map I see a green star (marked Primordus Rising) just off the Eye of the North Hall of Monuments area which I can't get to. When I travel to the Eye of the North this disappears. I have had internet connection problems recently and am beginning to wonder if the files for the latest download might have been corrupted in some way. Time to raise the matter with Arenanet I think. All you got to do in eye of the north is walk into Aurenes scrying pool room and the npcs will start talking, listen untill its done and you will get the next step to go to rata sum.

It's an instance so you're screwed in case of a dc, lfg can only be done in squad under icebrood saga so people have to use party lfg in tyria lfg, timer doesn't finish after completing the 3 events at start so you're idling for like 2mins once those are done.. > > I suffered a dc a bit after the party lock. I was able to get back into the instance I was party locked in. The content at least has proper scaling and that going for it. Was this a public mission maybe? Since private wont let you do that even 1 second after its started.

I can now kind of guess I'm not gonna get any rewards then :p Well did you trade 5 of the crystal bloom support marks for either 5 karma sips, 2 boxes+1 recipe/karma sip or 5 recipe from the crystal bloom vendor right next to the asura with wierd symbol over head? If you have and it dont sound like you have then you would get t1 t2 and t3 community box talking to the asura.

You buy anything you need with the tyrian defence marks instead of crystal bloom support marks.

> @"ragnarock.4592" said: > Is legal farming this way (afk and use pets&torrets) No not Afk, but doing it this way, watching netflix, cooking or folding laundery while answering the GM personal messages is perfectly fine.

> @"Amanda Whitemoon.6173" said: > i still have no idea what that whole event timer was and what it did, was it just for that little bit extra loot? Yes that was it living world Fractal rush with 1/5 of the rewards and focused on the 3 Dragon response missions.

I've been caught out by it a long time ago. It isn't difficult for them to make it clearer but they don't do it because they're a business and catching people unaware is a part of their game. Then again, how many businesses are so forthcoming these days? Practically zero. If holding your mouse over or clicking the Icebrood saga line is to much for people to get the information what do you suggest? Big irritating signs that people click away without reading anyway?

When anet decide to put them in there again.

If "crystal bloom global rank" is stuck on 3 out of 5 chests and there is no progress? Does this mean that all progress is lost or will it continue? Talk to the asura Lokka with a wierd thing over head and you should be able to get the 3 boxes the community unlocked the other 2 wont become availiable.

No there is not.

When you get to a vista on the map and its not on your level there is a green v down or a blue v pointing up on your mini map mate. Maybe tinker around abit with Taco could get you something like what you want OP http://www.gw2taco.com/

One way for its use is for a tp flipper with an alt account that may have 10k gold and not want to wait 19 weeks to get it out of their main accounts mail.

You can put in as many 100 gold Dawn buy orders as you like and if you cancel them all gold is returned to you.

Well your expecting support to scroll through forum when they have a special place at top or bottom of this page were you can login and create a ticket that magically will end up in a que were support personal read and help with issues like you present here.

They could have been crystal clear and said when champions part 1 released that 2 weeks from now we will have to second content drop and end of this episode.

Good news you can improve your dps useing the raid training golem area. It gives the dps meter you want. Then use that muscle memory to replicate it were ever you like.

> @"coollizzylou.9387" said: > ok ok ok here's my only question. Is that all for this chapter? Totally cool if it is, but it feels like something should come after the bonus event. I'm mostly just confused because the trailer made it seem that we would at least have the Crystal Bloom AND the Ebon Vanguard this chapter, and there's an achievement for buying Ebon Vanguard support boxes. I don't know if that means that content is for the next update and just slipped through the cracks, or if that's part of this update but coming later. > > I'm genuinely happy with the content already, it's really really good! i just am a little bit confused because I thought something else was coming after the countdown but it doesn't look like that's the case.
