Strike Mission-like reward for raids
maidiance.6920 replied to Lurana.7506's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I would prefer a reward system of some kind for repeating Challenge Motes myself. They're fun, and I usually love helping friends who need them, but when I've already done them there's always a part that goes "this is the upteenth pull... ugh." -
Items On The Gem Store
maidiance.6920 replied to Lee Wilderspin.8260's topic in Players Helping Players
Hello, some of it is possible to buy via black lion statuettes which can be indirectly farmed via key farm or you can concert gold to gems to buy black lion keys.I recommend checking the wiki for details.If you complete a non-town map there is around a 20-25% chance for a key as well.Good luck! -
I was referring to common PvE (open world, story), not Strike Missions, Raids, or Fractals in particular. Kodan farm only works because of Epidemic and the multitude of Condi Scourges. I finished it super fast with a normal squad, though, so the whole "all Condi Scourge squad" thing is just the latest rage rather than a true necessity. It works just fine without. I never intended to imply it was necessary, just that it was a popular demand here on the EU server. As for open world, I'd say nearly anything that relies condition damage suffers at least in terms of the simple fact power damage spikes way faster and reliably. That ramp up time is only a factor in something as big as a bounty.

Kodan farm with condi-dmg epi scourge is just faceroll easy-mode and tends to be one of the common squads that show up in lfg that I've seen here on EU.

Am I reading these right?
maidiance.6920 replied to Ariurotl.3718's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
Fortunately, those power shaves were almost entirely for the competitive scene. If you're only interested in PVE content, you shouldn't feel much of a slog, even with just having exotics and a half-decent build. -
I'm trying to complete the achievement Searching for Inspiration, but Koss seems to be missing from the hub. Is anybody else having this issue?
-
I hated reapers as a healer because of many of them who would go low health, enter shroud - thereby denying me the chance to heal them - then at some arbitrary point exit it and then die.Guards are definitely squishier, but no healing I provide ever goes to waste on them. I just wish more of them would change utils for condi cleanse, stab, etc.I'm glad you're enjoying fractals though. :)
-
Ah, that's too bad for me. Good luck with your search!
-
NA or EU? Also maybe mention raiding time if you can :)

Best 3 classes for Fractals and Raids?
maidiance.6920 replied to DrNixilis.1784's topic in Instanced Group Content
Guardian, pretty much any flavor.Mesmer, not much else has to be said about that.Someone who can pick up people. Scourge used to hard carry because of this. I think tempest can do this, but I don't play one. -
[Suggestions] Better Toypocalypse
maidiance.6920 replied to Corgam.1496's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
I just want an indicator for the build limit. So many times I have seen people destroying tier 3 siege to place tier 1 siege which never gets upgraded. -
As in survive a successful raid encounter? Probably, assuming tanky enough gear (aka toughness). The main thing would be to position properly. The chronotank provides alac+ quickness, and sometimes pulls + strong cc which can be a very important mechanic (or Samarog (though obviously Samarog doesn't use toughness for tanking purposes)). Since I don't play weaver, I'm not sure they have those. Might be worth a try if you have a guild/static that wants to experiment.

legendary trinket (vision) question
maidiance.6920 replied to JUN YANG.4328's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
1.Vision requires skyscale, so if you don't have it then it can be a chore to even start. For the actual crafting, I'd say the hardest part is the 77 mystic clovers. For the achievements, I didn't personally find them difficult, but your mileage may vary. No, unfortunately it is not.Yeah, you can buy those off the TP and use them in crafting instead of earning them yourself. -
Starting out with a new MMO player.
maidiance.6920 replied to oldwaysreturn.8315's topic in Players Helping Players
For most content, picking something comfortable for you will be help enough. If you want to help with jps and difficult vistas, then you might want to consider a mesmer. Hope the two of you have fun either way, and welcome to Tyria for your friend. -
Cause of account creation errors?
maidiance.6920 replied to LunarianSylph.3891's topic in Account & Technical Support
Hi. I recommend first trying Gmail for the email used to set up the account as I remember having an issue prior to doing the same. Otherwise, I'd submit tickets to support.Good luck! -
Congratulations on training Berserker!The torch is for condi berserker, and although condi is easier to play, it is harder to gear as it uses Viper's.There are many ways to play, mostly depending on the content you want to do. As I made mine for a raid group I primarily use power (berserker stats) axe/axe.I sometimes am more of a dps support, bringing banners; other times I bring outrage to extend my berserk mode and deal more damage while bringing a utility for cc or as needed.

Tier 6 materials observation
maidiance.6920 replied to Jia Shen.4217's topic in Guild Wars 2 Discussion
May I suggest the Lake Doric leather farm? It usually has a squad running it during prime time. -
Possibly returning, starting with fresh character
maidiance.6920 replied to Jacob.2490's topic in Players Helping Players
Unfortunately, I am on the EU server which means that we cannot meet in game.However, I can still try to give you a bit of advice. The wiki for this game is excellent, and you can wiki items, npcs, places, etc with the /wiki command, for example typing /wiki et will bring you to the event timer which will tell you what world boss is happening, which is next and where.I definitely recommend seeing if you enjoy your return before purchasing an expansion. Good luck and good gaming. -

maidiance.6920 replied to Jacob.2490's topic in Players Helping Players
Welcome back to Tyria!I would be happy to help if I can. Are you NA or EU?Do you like PVE, PVP, or perhaps WVW?Are you interested in endgame content? -
The playable storyline starts at Living World Season 2; although there are some very nice fanmade youtube videos that cover Season 1. In either case, I personally think the original campaign is in dire need of an update (although that is quite unlikely as Anet prefers to, as a rule, work on new content), but with that said if you want things to make sense then yes, you probably will want to play through it.
-
Welcome back!First and foremost allow me to state that I am not a PVPer. With that said, I recommend at least getting any birthday presents from your current toons before you reroll them. Ultimately, I recommend trying Heart of Thorns after you get more comfortable with your toons, whether they be newly leveled or not. It is an unforgiving jungle and can be very confusing with the various mastery lines. If you do head into HOT, try and make use of the LFG - various HP trains and metas run daily and will make the transition much smoother than if you were to try to tackle it on your own. Good luck, and good gaming.
