Rutin.2604

I just tried full zerker scrapper and I must say the damage is good and I survive very well for open world. Looks like my new PVE open world main! Thanks! I used this build to start with: https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Scrapper_-_Barrier_Bruiser

I played around more with the build I had before but swapped Zerker for Soldiers and I've solo'd every hero point in two HoT maps so far. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PeCBw6x7lFwqYWsLWKWeTavUA-zRIYS03fG1KEqQEY0B-e Works good so far, and damage isn't that bad considering I don't die in 2 hits. I also unlocked enough points for a full Scrapper so I'll try that next.

I haven't tried Scrapper yet and would need to run through the HoT hero points to unlock it quickly. I'm trying to remain with Holosmith for now though and using grenades seems a bit boring. I just decided to drop Zerk and bunker up with Power, Toughness, and Vitality and take on Alch with Inventions. I might not be doing crit damage now but I can at least survive. I went into HoT and those HP battles wrecked me.... They were a cake walk with my Mirage before due to my sustain, but going full DPS with some aids just wont do it. So far I can solo now, takes a bit to kill them off (maybe 60% slower now for champions) but I have enough buffer to survive and I can sustain well using my elixirs and mortar 4-5. If I was doing raids for group play then yea full DPS would be great, but solo is a different beast.

I'm getting back into engineer now as I haven't touched the class for PVE since the game released on day one and played it for a good year, but now I'm looking to play a lot more solo PVE, killing champions and doing general content. I'm doing alright so far with general content, and hero point battles in PoF haven't caused me much trouble yet but I'm trying to find a good balance between doing DPS but still having a way to reset and heal up if needed while running full Zerkers. I still need to do some champion battles but I haven't tried yet with this. I'm not really interested in running kits like grenades along with explosive trait line as I'm pretty bored of using that already from PVP so I'm looking to use Elixirs to help buff me, then if I need I have my Elixir Gun for skill 4 and 5 as an escape and heal, then I use my rifle to DPS until I can get back into melee range again. I do have Sword/Shield but the reason for the rife is simply to allow me to DPS at range as I heal up. My current build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?PeyAQx7lFwqYWMPGKWeTavdA-zRIYRU3XG1mCVUB2OA-e I know some people run without kits, all using holosmith skills, other people use only kits, and others use elixirs. Would this build be able to sustain for solo champion fights? I'll try to do some tests later today.

This only benefits new players coming to GW2 since we cannot link and use steam funds. I hardly doubt the vast majority of the existing player base will port over to Steam considering you're forced to buy everything again and cannot even use the same account. Unless existing players can link to Steam so they can use steam funds this is nothing more than a way to bring in new players through the Steam platform which is fine, but nothing to write home about for existing players. As much as I love GW2 and I've been playing since the first day, I wont re-purchase to be on Steam and start over.

I'm getting this all the time while playing... Almost once every 5 minutes. All Ports are open that need to be, even forced the exe to use another port.... Been playing since 2012 and never had these issues until just recently.

I ran into this same bug so what I did is cleared the entire map first so everything was dead. Then I talked to Tonn, then ran to the 1st tower, once he started his bomb dialog I ran to the 2nd, and the same thing, then the 3rd and it worked like a charm. No issue. I didn't try just speed running the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tower so it might work as well.
