I can't wait to see the weaver rotation in application. There's so much skill to do that you won't really be able to assimilate it. Still interesting and hope to see it happen. :D

You want a casual yet overly strong build ?I use to go Tempest berserk(with some assassin gear) scepter/warhorn, spamming 4/5 of air, overload and some glyph of tempest/fire/sandstorm depending of the situation.Kill every trash+most of veterans possible with just the press of 3/4 buttons. Yes, Ele is'nt like your casual reaper going throught every PvE map without sweating. But that's why you have the choice to play what you want.Edit : If I had another word to say : Change your heal for the glyph, and either use your fire elem to dps or earth to tank if you're scared.I usually only watch out for heavy cc/bursty champion, else I just go pew pew.

Post-Processing - None | Make all the AOE way less shiny. (specially great in raid/Strike)Character model quantity - Low/lower | Everyone but you are "basic skin" (exept legendary skins) Both together can make your game hellish, or really bland.

Hm, I don't know. I'm really happy to have something close to a small dungeon spawning out of nowhere from Anet, but yeah it's just really easy. For this one, it's really just a straight line until you found the boss, then it's melee=> spam 1.I tried it solo the first time as it was bugged and no one could join. I've done 50%+ all alone (so until second phase, as a tempest dps.) for me, it talk for itself and not in the good way. :/

tldr: Meta builds are a made-up requirement for raids - every raid is beatable with an organized group of players that know what they are doing as long as you have a well balanced team with a good composition of healers, dps and support/tank that you're comfortable with. But the raiding community turned raids into hardcore speedrunning content. Sure, but are you saying that if people weren't this selective, each party would found a proper balance, good player knowing both strat AND having a proper build (not meta) and the dps to stick to the actual timer ? From what I have seen, without a party dealing at least 15k dps from the 5/7 dps, we cant make any raid-boss fall. In fractal you have all the time you want and no real difficulty exept some rare boss having "special" mechanic. In raid, each boss have a special move-set, animation, some demand special role to make it easier etc...I doubt your ranger classic with longbow and soldier stat will make it throught. I doubt your necromant minion master in grieving stats will do much.Yes, overplaying the "meta" card isn't effective either, but the meta isn't there for no reason. If players werent a minimum "elistist" no raid would be accomplished. (at least from my thought.)

First, excuse my way of speaking, I'm not a native speaker. Eyah, just putting my own experience after reading (almost) the whole thread.I've mostly started raid around april 2019, and even if, yes, it's near impossible to join a random party in the LFG, it's completely normal. Yes, the requirement for raid is stupid. I often see 300,400 kp... I've seen once 1k kp needed. Uff. (even for the joke, it's maybe a little too much.)I personnally hate faking the LI, the same goes for fractal. So what did I do to actually learn ? I've puts some request at the Lion Arch to joins Guild doing training as a DPS.Joined 3 guilds like that, 1 doing full clear frequently, another doing mostly "try" (the lead was almost learning them) and the third was forgettable. During those 5/6 months i've gone from 10-ish LI to 110. I dont do lot of raids, I even "forgot" to do them for a month at a time but I never had a difficulty finding a party after being on some communities. I dont even talks with them outside of raid, they're just nice enough to play with me when they put a raid recruitement on discord. Yes, you cant raid when YOU want but when the time is fixed but that's the point when you have to put 10 differents peoples in the same party.The only "trick" is to DO YOUR WORK. you want to join a raid ? WORK FOR IT. joining a guild is really easy... Really, my only good point is that I'm a correct dps (around 80/90% of the dps of a weaver).I cant switch to a support role, I dont have any infusion, I often have the wrong food and I got teleported almost once every try at VG. People complaining about the difficulty to join a raid are the kind who just open the LFG, join a party and see themself being kick after 5 minutes because they didn't respond of the message sent by the commander. Wont throw rose to all the com', but I found it mentally tiring to lead raids. If you're not with your guildies, you have to babysit 9 peoples, none wanting to play with you and some leaving after 1 fail, just because you failed to throw a bomb at sabetha. The whole "you're terrible to kick new player" can be resumed with this point : If someone refuse to respond to your question : Kick him. And, sadly yes, new players often ignore you or play mute to dodge your suspicion. Sorry to break it to you but we're not child, it dont work. :anguished: I rarely see new player being nice and when it happen, a LOT of people try to help them. Specially in gw2 and it's astonishing.When I do dungeons (I love ascalon/caudecus) new player often dont talk, dont try to help, dont want to interact with you and I wont complain about it, that's normal they're starting the game (rarely go beyond 3k ap) and doesnt have the full experience of gw2 (both in the community and the gameplay). When you do a raid, you should already be able to do T4 fractal "easily". (if you want to at least kill 1 boss) and from what I often see in training and even some raid. some doesnt know what's the gameplay of the class they play. :bleep_bloop: ...Well, that was a long rent who've gone everywhere but you got the point I think. Maybe.Sorry. :confounded:
