Thank . Engineer is originally a class I’m terrified of mainly because of the multitude of skills it has. So wanted to check before considering it. Will definitely give it a try. Have a necro and since I have my light legendary set will definitely try out harbinger 🙂 .

I’m looking for the easiest rotation for the following roles in group play. Am I better off sticking with the old classes I have as given below ? 1. DPS 2. Support alacrity and quickness mainly 3. Healing. For ages I’ve been sticking with Guardian so I already have a HB and Willbender for DPS. Although as a willbender I sometimes finding myself throwing myself off of platforms and cliffs using certain skills. I’ve tried Spectre for alacrity but I really feel weird using wells. Think it might be the delay in casting that’s throwing me off. I’ve always shied away from Engineer and Ele due to the belief that the rotation is quite complex. Would that be still true ?

+1 . While at it . Add a collection item on top of chalice of tears too.

Although I’ve been supportive of removing the turtle egg from an open world 50 person event where people may or may not fail due to selection of players / mechanics they get. I see no issue with putting it in something like this ? The strikes have no timer. You can quickly find groups in LFG for any of them. I do agree that harvest temple might require a bit more endurance and patience than the others but it is also doable once you get the mechanics down. I understand you would prefer not to group with anyone but at some point there is another side that would prefer to do content like this for their stuff. At some point some balance must be maintained. Some would say jumping puzzles are a blight in this game. Others would hate the brain dead collecting of map currencies. At some point some sacrifices are going to be made by some segment of the player base. Nonetheless if you have problems getting this done we always run easy 3 strike missions in EOD everyday with no restrictions whatsoever. You are more than welcome to come along however I play during my evenings at +5:30 GMT. As mentioned above all attacks are clearly telegraphed and you can literally heal your way through the whole fight. But this is just my opinion you may or may not find it feasible. But I would highly recommend you to give it another try 🙂

They do want more . They just don't want to have anything with the toxic likes of the OP which you totally agree with 🙂 .

How they wish to play is totally up to them. Your stance is you enjoy the challenge. I totally get it. Do you believe this much ranting would have been there if the mount had not been attached to it? The amount of complaints on this forum would have drastically gone down. The above post that you "completely agreed with" implies that anyone who has voiced their concerns are a bunch of auto-attackers. What about those who actually pull their weight? Who have no say over who gets to join the instance ? Did it possibly occur to you that maybe there does need to be some fine tuning to the event? Whirlpools cc bar? If i recall right we got whirlpools during the phase shes spinning around.Maybe thats working ads intended I don't recall seeing that . The whole break CC with an item that requires you to use Waypoint stations from another zone ? Swapping sides right after breaking cc bars? Horrendous loot ? Lets not even talk about the sub grouping and boon distribution ? Are there basic mechanics being missed. Yes there is. Perhaps if all of the content wasn't face roll till now then things would have been better. Whether you believe it or not there are folks out there who are pulling their weight and are still being penalized for it on the sole grounds of this being an open event. Remove the egg form the event . Add different rewards for the Meta. Disconnect the Lore text from the meta. Let the fishing buff remain even if you change zones. Grant rewards for challenging content to those who complete the meta. Leave the ones who want no part out of it. As this is its a horrid implementation of good content. The difference between my points and the OP is I'm not trying to ruin your game while I'm offering a suggestion to be inclusive of all players.

Oh ? What game am I playing ?

Most people who are raising their concerns are. Why do you feel like questioning it ? How one plays this game is totally up to them. The mounts mentioned above did not require the effort of a whole community to obtain it . Was easily doable by pretty much anyone. How multiple players voice their concerns on not obtaining a mount which is clearly advertised on the website which involves a gameplay style he or she is not accustomed is whining is beyond me. Perhaps you didn’t know that events generally get tuned based on feedback or in your terms whining. I’m happy to hear that . Did you consider that there is a populace that does not have the same amount of time you have an abundance with. How you feel about the turtle is irrelative to another person . Perhaps they just like travelling on it to random zone x and stomping rats . It just doesn’t matter. I thought you enjoyed the experience rather than the prestige associated with it. Are you claiming this is something only a select few should have . Perhaps it would do good to look further in what would be more fun for a major portion of the community than just a few? Although I didn’t want to say it, at this point you are being toxic. So all failed attempts are people who have been doing nothing but smashing. May I remind you that you failed 9 times. Perhaps you didn’t press 1 enough . Actually I apologise maybe the other 40 + carried you…. I apologise in advance for the above statement but I hope it will clear where your post above is just wrong in so many ways. And to be clear the reward s for the time invested for this meta is better spent elsewhere. This has been raised multiple times and I’m sure the devs are working on some kind of plausible solution. Sure why not. And again the snide EARNED remark is more appearing like you are asking for some kind of prestige status attached to the mount. I wont point out while the rest of that quote is just wrong but I’m sure you can figure out. And again I urge you to look at the regular gamer who isn’t as well versed at this game. Perhaps give the egg from the NPC. And all those who earned it early a neon flashing one for all I care. That is something people would standby. How is providing another alternative for other gamers a huge nerf to the expansion is beyond me. In the further points you are merely reinforcing what I’ve said. The map is going to be dead zone unless it soon finds a balance which is amicable for all types of gamers. Which will hopefully be addressed. As for the difficulty in the event. It’s not per-say difficulty if you have been doing content. It’s just an item has been locked under an event which requires the coordination of people who randomly joint the map. Unless of course you are calling for people to organise outside the map and call for meta builds and leave the rest out ? Definitely don’t see the community growing after that . Had this been a raid / strike I would have probably said a nerf is just injustice. Had it not required a higher level of coordination I would have said not to touch it. A good communal player would have been inclusive of most folks not regretful about random player x getting horrible mount y from the Event z. But I guess prestige in games do that . I probably will get ranted at but nonetheless I just felt like point out why this thread is just wrong.

The biggest gripe you will see in any of these posts is about a mount that can only be obtained by beating the final series of Events in Dragon's End. This event as per ANET is considered to be epic and hence the difficulty is a tad higher than others and hence requires a bit of preparation for most groups to get through. Ironically in my humble opinion the mount is subpar. Other than it looking a bit interesting I really don't see the huge commotion over it. I enjoyed the storyline however you will find mixed opinions on that given the scripts used by the characters. Some may enjoy it others might not. The environment is much better than the earlier expansions. Although Kaifeng City looks like it was made big just for the sake of it. You might find traversing maps like Echovald and Kaifeng a bit hard to traverse. Especially if you don't have earlier mounts. I would highly advise not starting the game from his expansion using the booster. You get access to the news class specialisations obviously and other mechanics like Fishing and the Skiff and the Jade Bot. The new Strike Missions I did all four of them and thought they were much better than the previous ones. There are things I would like to see improved and would definitely like to see a lot of the bugs cleared out . My opinion is if you have done the content that was available earlier then sure get it . But if you are just starting out Id work my way up and then get it. This is just my opinion of course.

I play on Stormbluff Isle. Ive gotten the DWD title . Just got LNHB left. Will probably try that after fooling around with EOD a bit. Will be happy to join any CM group though 🙂

Very good information. From someone who hasn't done a lot of dungeons I appreciate it 🙂

Thank you I appreciate the advice 🙂 . I managed tog et in a group for T4 CMs. Completed all the instances . Now just have to get a bit better and manage DWD and LNHB . Also need. to do it a few times to get the mechanics saved in my memory I guess.

Hello all, First of alI must say that I play from a timezone that is +5:30 GMT. Ive been recently working on trying to get my CM fractals done and so far Ive only been able to manage a group for CM 100 . Although we were not able to get Dancing with Demons we did manage to get Defiler of Doubt title and achievement done. Since there are not many groups out there who do CM 98,99 or 100 with people who Don't have either DWD or LNHB Im finding it a hard time to get these done. Anyway Ive been thinking of doing these by starting some of my own groups . However Id like to get some questions cleared before doing the same. 100 CM Does the HB Use sanctuary when the boss is at the side ever? Or just at 66 and 33 ? (Second boss) How do you determine who runs out to avoid the AOES that spawn at peoples feet ? Is there a set assignment or is it just random and everyone spreads out ? Am I expected to have a white mantle portal device (Im still 110 magnetite short 😞 ) I guess Im just looking for some tips before I go out starting a group for these instances. I haven't had a chance to do 98 or 99 CM so Im not sure how much to expect. I have watched the videos though . Any tips would be appreciated Id hate to zone in and look like an idiot. I know this isn't exactly the place to ask but if anyone also knows an active guild with loads of people doing stuff like this and raids in the oceanic time zones Id appreciate that too . I don't really think the guilds Im in are exactly keen to run CM mode / Raids or want to have a new person in one with the possibility of me botching it up. Thanks PS: I have one of everything if you think I should try a different class too. I generally play Support in any game Ive played like EQ, LOTRO etc so I just stuck with the HB.
