Guild Wars 2 v. TO VABBI - Games

[QUOTE=markfu;52550578]New mount, Charr.[/QUOTE] I'm still waiting for this makeover kit option [img]http://68.media.tumblr.com/e53758f89442543894bdc774a5efdc38/tumblr_nlcg9jsmuc1uqvctno1_1280.jpg[/img]

Anyone want to help with achievement hunting on Living World Season 2 with me? I have hours to burn before my gaming group signs on and even then, they're all nubbies and haven't even reached level 50 yet, lol, so I need something to do in the meantime.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/gDvnTwA.jpg[/t] [i]oh shit[/i] Bridger - worth note in the patch today: [quote]Conjure Weapons: Conjured weapons no longer expire after a set number of skill activations but instead last for a flat duration of 30 seconds. Conjure Lightning Hammer: Lightning Leap: This skill now grants 3 seconds of quickness if it hits. The cooldown of this skill has been increased from 6 seconds to 8 seconds. Wind Blast: This skill now grants 3 seconds of superspeed if it hits. Lightning Storm: This skill has been partially reworked. Lightning bolts will occur over a longer duration, with 50% of the bolts guaranteed to attack a target within the radius. The final attack delivered by the storm guarantees attacks on up to five targets. The number of attacks has been increased from 10 to 12.[/quote] this is a [i]solid[/i] upgrade if you were looking to lightning hammer! Also I realized you might not have HoT for the tempest skills, and that those probably don't benefit it much outside of pvp/incoming CC situations anyways. Also don't have to take the first trait in fire anymore I think, since summon weapons aren't affected by charges anymore. Maybe length is still alterable? I'll fiddle with a build once this finishes installing but can't do a dps check til later tonight [editline]e[/editline] [t]http://i.imgur.com/Cy2SToI.png[/t] also the conjurer trait affects the recharge rate of conjured weapon attacks, so that's decent [t]http://i.imgur.com/qk2ODE9.png[/t] it's important to remember, especially now that you're locked to a 30 second window per weapon, to place the targeted conjure somewhere you can reach fast when the first one dies out, and avoid placing it somewhere people might accidentally pick it up. courtesy reminder for other people, don't pick up ele conjure weapons, ESPECIALLY in dungeons/raids unless they tell you to. (they'll tell you to pick up a frost bow, use #4, then drop the bow if anything). You can probably do more damage with your own skills than a conjured weapon you don't know rotations/uses for, and in the case of hammers, the ele definitely relies on it to keep up their own DPS dang I think it's time to make my old ele a glass hammer again

Wow, the Warrior traitlines were changed a lot more than whats in the patch notes. Certain traits are entirely gone or reworked. [editline]8th August 2017[/editline] [img]http://i.imgur.com/P5ilXYO.png[/img] this is what replaced Death From Above [img]http://i.imgur.com/gYjmwUh.png[/img] and then this replaced Dazing Strikes [img]http://i.imgur.com/yamYLHq.png[/img] Arms looks mostly the same except the sword trait no longer gives increased crit chance on bleeding foes and instead increased sword condition duration and the first and third minor traits got megred and the new first minor trait gives fury when you use a burst

Oh god, I just came back to play Heart of Thorns and I'm still trying to get used to the game after having not played for years. The sweeping balance changes are just piling more confusion on top of all the shit that happened after 3 Living Story seasons and an expansion. I only just now got used to my thief's elite specialization and figuring what the fuck mastery was, dammit. :worried:

Wew now, this new world map [url]http://i.imgur.com/eAoMruh.png[/url]

I started playing GW2 yesterday for the first time, had a blast. Planned my entire day today around playing it only to wake up to dead servers... 7 hours later they still haven't fixed it ;_;

Yeah one of their EU servers has a power outage [media]https://twitter.com/GuildWars2/status/895005800351113217[/media]

Looks like I picked a really good time to give the game another go with those conjure weapon changes, thanks big time for the heads up and build again dai! Lookin forward to what kinda damage that build can push out! Also I do have HoT, I just haven't touched any of the content for it on my ele yet so I got a lot of work to do to get the tempest stuff going, really glad I kept all of her zerk armor now too!

[QUOTE=Chaos Creator;52552326]Wew now, this new world map [url]http://i.imgur.com/eAoMruh.png[/url][/QUOTE] Bonus: same zoom level (maximum out) of the new world area compared to HoT's zones [url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/279025968042082304/344584595171442688/XZeK8ot.png]slightly bigger[/url] [sp] That one firey zone appears to be the size of the entirety of HoT's gameplay maps[/sp] I'm on my phone on a train right now so I can't do it for a whole, but I'd love to see this with the leaked revealed zone maps overlaid so we know the proper map sizes, god knows maps are smaller than the big painterly zones indicate a lot of the time I keep bringing this up to people but they DID mention they were focusing on "content" this time around. HoT was 50% system upgrades and mechanic experimentation, setting the foundation for a lot of features that may not even have come to light yet. The maps were pretty neat, and very efficiently packed into dense areas (to a fault), but after you've really explored it all they lose that sense of wanderlust and adventure. Hopefully the new zones (which still have elements of verticality in places it seems) will breathe a lot of life into what drew us into the game back in the day

As long as they're not as aggravating to explore as Tangled Depths I'm completely okay with PoF's zones. HELLO YES WOULD YOU LIKE CHAK

Holy crap they overhauled Spirit Weapons. Never thought I'd see the day.

[QUOTE=Jetamo;52552690]As long as they're not as aggravating to explore as Tangled Depths I'm completely okay with PoF's zones. HELLO YES WOULD YOU LIKE CHAK[/QUOTE] Tangled Depths was such a mistake. It makes it feel like HoT was only 2 maps since Tangled Depths is annoying to traverse and Dragon Stand is only really there for the meta event.

[QUOTE=Vegg;52553594][img]https://puu.sh/x5mk9.jpg[/img] best mini[/QUOTE] we're talking about your catmander behind its back [t]https://my.mixtape.moe/rsfeem.png[/t] [editline]e[/editline] bridger (one more time asdf) removing tempest in favor of arcane kills power-based DPS, really don't want to lose that overload, keeps targets burning, which means everything else you're doing is getting 10% extra damage at all times anyways. try [url=https://my.mixtape.moe/dyumrr.png]this build[/url], can trade fire 1-1 for fire 1-3, not sure the recharge rate of conjurer trait (1-2) is worth losing the other possibilities given you're mostly autoattacking with the hammer, and [i]don't[/i] want other people taking your weapon so you won't proc the shield. scepter/focus again, try to stay in fire and drop all of your cooldowns between hammers. tried on straight zerker, might be better with a healthy mix of power/ferocity/condi focused gear???? not sure

I'd like to use the Max-Level boost to re-roll my Ranger into a sylvari, but the though of having to regrind for alllll that gear and stuff. :c

[t]https://i.gyazo.com/1454cfe68f3ae8a13712949e74bf5da3.jpg[/t] My ele is ready and set to start unlockin' the rest of tempest! Thanks a whole bunch dai, I'll be working to get all of tempest unlocked over the next few days to make the full use of that build you made! Got full zerk gear right now but I'll definitely be working on some alternate gear to see how it feels! Again thank you, I was having trouble trying to figure out what I wanted to play at first, but now I got my hammer back and I'm happy as can be

[QUOTE=Jetamo;52552690]As long as they're not as aggravating to explore as Tangled Depths I'm completely okay with PoF's zones. HELLO YES WOULD YOU LIKE CHAK[/QUOTE] Don't even remind me. I only used Tangled Depths for Machined Weapons when I did the meta and for 3 or 4 hero points before I went to Dragon's Stand.

[QUOTE=meek;52552361]I started playing GW2 yesterday for the first time, had a blast. Planned my entire day today around playing it only to wake up to dead servers... 7 hours later they still haven't fixed it ;_;[/QUOTE] That was not normal at all. GW2 is basically online 24/7 and they are really good at it. Don't let that dishearten you.

Heads up, the PoF demo weekend is live.

Performance in Amnoon is absolutely dreadful. Outside is a solid 40-70fps but inside the city my game tanks to 10-25fps.
