Those also count towards the cap. There's literally no way to get more than 160/week afaik.

So the "right" way to play the game is the one you see fit, and not the developers who actually spend time and resourses creating all those intricate mechanics you skip with damage?

Nah, that's strike CMs. Haven't even bothered trying it on Ai, would've probably failed miserably anyway XD On the other hand, I would rather pick some ranged condi over Reaper for EoD strikes any day, and normal ones still went fine.

Tried CM strikes today, and honestly, it didn't go quite so well this time. Not quite support level yet, but way, way closer. Still super safe, consistent and easy though. I'm pretty sure you can still beat enrage with this much damage, but watching some pesky mesmer hit twice as hard doesn't feel good tbh. Guess that's the upper limit for the build, or at least I'm not good enough to push it further.

I think I'm starting to see the problem with this thread... So I've put an unnecessarily large amount of time into reading the whole thing and actually taking Valk reaper into some strikes and fractals over the weekend, which is, apparently, more than most esteemed experts here bothered to do. And what I have to tell you is that anyone claiming it doesn't have enough damage or sustain or whatever is a delusional lunatic. Maybe not this exact version, but I don't think it's enough to consider mine a different build altogether. The setup is as follows: >Zerker amulet to cap crit, rest is full Valkyrie. This gives you a whopping 60k effective HP, with shroud alone beefier than, like, 2 eles combined. I'm pretty sure you can go full Dragon without losing any damage to trade some vitality for the ability to never care about Fury, ever again. >Scholar, Force and Centaur Slaying (because meta). >Pick any weapon you like, you won't be using it much anyway. For skills pick: >Healing signet for passive 400 hps that heals through shroud (no sustain lol) and minor dps boost. >Power signet for MOAR POWAH. >Res signet to hold the whole thing together. >Elite golem cause it's the only choice that actually does something until they add an elite signet. >Last skill is up to you. Pick a well for better burst, another signet for the memes, some life force generation, some cc, whatever. Key traits are Fear of Death, Signets of Suffering and Decimate Defenses. Now go out there, pop shroud, put AA on autocast and watch some Netflix. Yes, it's THAT easy, bordering the levels of old rifle mech degeneracy. Use 4 off cd, double-tap 3 for infinite shroud. Maybe keep the damage reduction for a few seconds if you're feeling smart today. Did I say your shroud is infinite? Well, that's only if you actually utilize your brain to dodge at least some attacks aimed at your beautiful necro face. I kitten you not, in some t4 runs the damage never even scratched my real HP. It just works™. Now the juicy part. Does it have THE DAMAGE? Actually, yes, it does. Does it have the MOST damage? No, Zerk double well is still your way to go. But did you really expect to top the charts with one button? It absolutely destroys, like, 95% of the challenges the game can currently throw at you. I stomped every t4, did above average in low req CM groups, and never once dropped below 3-4th dps in strikes. ALL WITH ONE BUTTON. Well, 2 and a half, actually. You can easily go higher than that with fancy rotations and Soul Barbs, but why not just play meta at that point? Cons compared to Zerker: >Slightly lower damage. Neither 1% nor 20%, as people here have claimed. Irrelevant unless you're speedclearing. >Noticeably lower burst, no way around that. Irrelevant unless you're some 40sec Siax Sweatlord. >Not many buttons to press. Some might consider it a pro, but overall utility is rather lackluster. CC is still pretty good though. >Relies on the recent buffs too much. I feel like Anet reverting the AA coefficients would nuke this into oblivion while "only" severely hurting the Zerker variant. Well, it's safe until June, at least. Overall, this ended up one of the best LI builds I've ever played. 10/10, 5 stars, all that stuff. The only 3 situations I wouldn't recomment playing it in: >Condi fight. Well, duh. >You don't have enough damage. I can alrady feel all the meta guys jumping at this one. >You're in a group with a warrior and 2 engineers that refuse to bring kittenING BOONSTRIP. Seriously, not swapping was really hard, but I persevered through perma protection for the sake of testing. And the best part is that I don't even have to prove anything or engage in toxic discussions. Literally anyone can simply try it and see for themselves if it's worth it or not. What a time to be alive.

The kitten is this all about? Anyone half-decent at playing Reaper would at first glance instantly realize this is a solid build capable of solid damage. Is it better than the meta one? No. Is it safe, versatile and easy to play? Yes. Ways ahead of the meta one in solo open world for sure. You can play it in any instanced content outside, maybe, HT CM, and no one would care. Or you can play meta for slightly higher risk and reward. It doesn't matter much, everything's easy, and a good player will still do better with signers than a bad one with double wells. Why all the hate and elitism?

I just love how people selling titles and achievements are pretty much the same kind of people constantly bitching about not wanting to waste their time on carrying noobs and demanding hundreds of outdated KPs in LFG.

So wait a sec, the new Signets of Suffering is gonna be mutually exclusive with Awaken the Pain, am I reading this right?

Thank you for making me feel like I've done something wrong by not spending 2 minutes to log into a broken game. Really glad for the people who did and got compensated with a free 1200 gem item. Maybe I'll even get a free bonfire later if I'm lucky enough, not that I expected any compensation in the first place.Off to Sorrow's Furnace in GW1 now, hopefully it'll be taken by the end of the day.

You only need tournament wins for the visual effect though. For the legendary amulet itself 120 ranked wins is enough.

Festival (namely Halloween) dailies from a couple years back used to award 1-2 points each.

Yeah, the VB one is a lootable object on the ground while Anomaly and Demolisher rewards (two events I encountered the bug with) are both bouncy chests. You certainly might be onto something with this one.

That can't be the case since I have a dedicated daily wyvern slayer parked in VB and not once had a similar issue in 2 years or so.

I've been doing it on my main ever since. Hasn't bugged once, excluding Unstable Magics not spawning occasionally after the fight. Might have something to do with the Shadowstone quest(?) chain which I don't have completed on my other characters. I've also encountered the very same issue on random other boss events like the Forged Demolisher in the Desolation (Maws of Torment meta).

I can more or less confirm this. Not letting Tonn get into combat after blowing the last tower up seems to be what fixed it for me. Just clear everything, trigger the tower, then run back and shoot the last spawn from max range.

I understand no one really cares but this shit just keeps happening. I've been scammed for something like 10g so far and it doesn't seem to end anytime soon.

3 times in a row now. Fuck this shit.

Happened second time in a row today so no, definitely not. Besides, I usually kill the 10:20 UTC one in Gendarran Fields. I think it only ever happened once before the Wintersday patch and now every day feels like a lottery, a shitty one at that.

Sometimes I don't get credit for the kill for no apparent reason. I get the usual loot it drops upon death but not the event chest. If I kill another one later on that day and do manage to get the chest I still don't get my daily mystic coin. This is getting rather annoying as I'm saving up for a legendary.
