I rather have 1 tab were people type were they are so I can see all the maps at once then when you propose @"Lonami.2987"

Or maybe organize before the event start so build choices matter at all?

But I do think, that raiding will join the dungeon club in the long run, they are kind of expensif to make, if my memory serve me well a dev speak about it during season 4. And seeing the already thin content release, spreading it more would just hurt the game bottom. Sadly I do think raider are not where the money is. And for personal opinion instance content does not belong in a mmo. But thats my taste. Well considering easy mode is so easy to make according to those wanting it all over the forum. It should be the same level of effort to turn some of this easy content we get 99% of the time into new raid content just slap on some more mechanics and more preasure what could go wrong.

Easiest to try is spaming pressing 1 while the cut scene is going or finding a buddie to play it with you.

That's why I know it's happening. Ever thought that anet maybe flagged that spot were 4 different credit cards are trying to buy gems at the same days/weeks? That is an pretty unusual thing to happen so would raise an eyebrow for any company. One of you could have bought gems and gifted the others and the rest gave that guy money. Or I dont know try useing your mobile phone connection to try and buy maybe? Edit Another thing have you or your 3 friends ever charged back from a company useing digital river as a payment provider if so they could have been black listed. Maybe that throw shade on the rest of you?

If all they had to do was flip a switch dont you think they would have a person on that money switch 24/7?

They should have done it the other way around public when people who kill boss loot chest instance is closed no more afkers at start. Private partys have 17m to do with ever at end of mission.

The last episode supplied 6 total mastery points (4 easy ones, one locked behind the weapon collection, one behind a challenge that may be problematic for many). if the next 3 chapters all add 6 points each, and no new mastery tracks/tiers, IBS would end at 63/76.

In that regard, previous cases had a lot more of low hanging fruit masteries.

Still, in all previous cases i never really felt the need to wait for new, easy mastery points from future chapters.

Same goes for the point you will earn by completing story line when more is released. Don't forget to include locked mastery poin if you want to compare to locked masteries. Don't let not released content become a tarir 2.0, just chill and wait for it to be released before panicking Untrue gandarran field got 2 one insight and one for Shooting Stars achiv. So its quite possible that later dragon response missions get more then 1 mastery point in them

Firstly its a user telling you how the system works. Secondly update your first ticket with what items you want at a discount support will most likely offer you it if the item sale runs out before your ticket is resolved. They do want money after all.

Not enough to justify the cost same with a sea data center.

These npc's just die over and over and you gotta rez them esp on bridge they just dead whole fight and you always got one party member rezzing them for w/e reason. Or make them invulnerable or something otherwise they just in the way in some of these instances usualy target them when trying to pick up banners.

This is to help you survive, but you are responsible for not dying to begin with. You should have Strength traited. You'll be getting 15 endurance per Burst attack. So dodge more often. > > Because, even with Soldier's gear that has vitality and toughness, and 26k HP i'm getting one shotted in T2 fractals. If i heal, i can only heal myself for 1k HP with a high cooldown. That's not nearly enough to survive anything. If i gear myself fully berserker, i'll get even less toughness and HP, how am i supposed to run fractals then? Yeah, dodges, but there's just 2 of them, and some bosses spam AOEs constantly, it's impossible to evade every last one. The easiest bosses for me are the ones with "raid tells" that way i can reposition myself and avoid damage altogether. > 1K healing? No warrior heal's initial heal is so low, Defiance Stance is 1.8k itself. > > Something's not right here, i can't be THAT squishy, can i? > In FotM and Raids? Yeah you can be very f*cking squishy no matter how much Vitality and Toughness you have as a warrior. > > And if i am, what use am i in a PUG group that can have random profession composition if i'm supposed to deal damage, but can't stay alive if someone doesn't heal me. > Dodge more. Use a better heal skill. Take Might Makes Right instead of Berserker's Power. But you are right in that dead DPS is 0 DPS. > > I don't understand how this works honestly, how am i supposed to run higher tier fractals, with just 1 heal that heals for 1k. > > And i know that heal's use is to refill the berserk bar, but that's damage dealing, not healing. > Okay so Blood Reckoning is 3k base no 1k. It heals the most when you can DPS right afterwards, so don't use it when you are almost dead entirely, and use it when you have high damage skills available. Since you should be in Berserk Mode that means Decapitate for +30k damage per swing, which means 10k healing for you. That is pretty kitten good healing. > > Unless you meant "To The Limit!" which also gives adrenaline which is a 9.1k heal, still really great healing. > > Should i look for more specialized groups? Because in PUGs i can do T2's but with a lot of dying (on everyone's part, not just mine), and it can sometimes be time consuming. > Nah, keep playing and learning. As you go through the tiers you'll start to recognize the ppl who join the group and remember how to play with them. > > I'm not aiming for challange fractal speedruns, just to eventually get to T4 so i can do them comfortably. I'm at T3 currently but i'm not running it because i need ascended gear, and i can only slot so much agony resistance in trinkets. > > > > As a mesmer, i knew my role and was able to perform it well, be it support or condi damage, pulls and whatnot. > > I'm not sure what to do with warrior. Do i facetank bosses and hope someone helas me so i can do damage, or what? > More in depth here. > > You should be either running Power Berserker Banners or just Power Berserker. I hate banners, and with a good group that isn't speed running they don't matter anyway. With a bad group that can't capitalize on the bonus stats they are wasted skills. So I prefer to have utilities that have an actual use on my bar. > > This build is without banners and should function very well at all levels of FotM. > http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PKABcelnlRwuYOsFmJOyWetKA-zRJYiRPfpkZIkaEUbCURB450IgZAA-e > > If you have problems with sustain then take Defiant Stance and Endure Pain. Use EP first since it is instant then before the effect wears off use Defiant Stance and stand in all the AoEs. Useful anywhere where you have to kite damage, or need to keep a boss standing in an AoE. > > If you must absolutely run banners then do so. > > Berserker DPS rotation is easy enough that you can do it while moving around to avoid attacks. If you take Endure Pain and Defiant Stance then you have 8 seconds where you can DPS to your heart's content and not die. Blood Reckoning in general is better since you have more control over it. Just remember that Strength is giving you a lot of endurance and you are already spamming a burst attack for your DPS. Headbutt->Outrage-> Dodge->F1->F1->dodge->Axe2->F1-> Axe4-> Axe 3-> F1 -> dodge ->Axe 5 -> F1 -> dodge... with more dodges more often if you take Might Makes Right instead of Berserker's Power. Well the low healing can be becouse of low agony resistance as other posted pointed out. >Agony is an effect unique to Fractals of the Mists that removes a percentage of the player's health every 3 seconds and reduces healing received by 70% (regardless of stacks). It is not affected by condition removal, but the damage received can be mitigated using infusions that grant Agony Resistance.

The mote npc is the red arrow. Edit You did normal solo so its possible but for cms expect to bring a group of 5. Edit 2 Public aint the group mode tho (it solo with 1-5 people) it is still private but with 5 people so it do have the challange mote option.

> @"aspirine.6852" said: > They have way to much health.. And lets not talk about Anets love for knockdown.... But for the love of god lower the health, its annoying as kitten these health sponges.. If you jump at the right time you can avoid the destroyers that look like the first boss+boss in metrica and you can avoid the brisban crab as well or just move abit to the side out of the bridge and aoe dont go that far.

You only need 1 crystalline heart Wiki is your friend https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Crystalline_Heart Edit And you dont create the first one with karma thats only if you lose your heart >Bring 100 Crystalline Ingots to an armor profession master craftsman: Tailor, Leatherworke or Armorsmith in Lion's Arch. You do not need to be skilled in that profession.
