[What is the exact time does the PvP Season end?]

Hi

 

I was wondering if anyone knows what exact time does the PvP Season end? 

[This is GARBAGE. You want us to spend money? ONE Simple fix would clear up this BOT MESS (years now btw)]

There is a barrier. You need to achieve rank 20 pvp to play ranked matches. For new players, it will take quite a few games to get to level 20. 

[Need Ideas for Machine Learning Capstone Project =)]

Hi everyone,I have enrolled in a data science bootcamp and looking to do a career transformation. Im doing a machine learning capstone project for the bootcamp. I am planning to do something for WvW. I would love to some brainstorm ideas with you guys. What are some analysis you wish to see for WvW? At the moment, im thinking some sort of player efficiency/performance analysis for each skirmish (zerg vs zerg battle) or predicting a zerg's winning probability based on zerg composition. I can’t do anything too crazy since im still a novice

@Icetea.3204 said:During the opening you forget to cast Frosttrap and more importantly Point Blank Shot. You miss out on a lot of damage due to the missing TaV buff.

Overall your TaV uptime is lacking a bit. Make sure to cast your first Axe 4 as far away from to golem as possible and the second one as close as possible. Reason is, that you still have the TaV buff from Point Blank Shot, so you wanna reset its duration later when swapping to axe.

A canceled SB2 and Axe 5 in the log, but overall the rotation does look good. However, I think you don't have the proper equipment. You are at least missing an air sigil and an hyromancy sigil. Make sure to also check your stats. From a rotational PoV it really shouldn't be that low.

Thanks for the tips. Ill pay more attention on the TaV uptime. I didn't know i had to throw my first Axe 4 far. Yah i dont have air or hyro because my setup is for fractals so i have impact rune. Also, why do we active Sic Em near the near of barrage?

[I need Soulbeast DPS help]

Can someone answer how to increase my uptime and about the cancellation of the longbow autoattack (LB AA)?

@Arcaniaxs.4519 said:Try to dps under one wolf pack and sic em buff... specially make sure barrage and whirling defence both deal their dmg under those buffs.Always use sic em at the very end of barrageWen u swap to x/axe use axe 4 at first and use it again before swapping back to bowEvery secod rotation loop one wolf pack isnt available so use LB 3 if OWP isnt availableTurn off LB auto attack bec it randomly messes ur worldy impact activation and u wont be able to use it... in the benchmark video the guy has turned it off too i thinkAlso a last tip: make sure barrage(LB5)/whirling defence(AXE5)/F2,3(frenzy and worldly impact) and frost trap all deal their dmg under sic em and OWP or just sic em if OWP isnt available.One last-last tip: if u are using skrimishing make sure u are hitting the boss from the side or behind to deal critical dmgIf u are using marksman it doesnt matter i thinkAlso for dps rotation u dont need to use Leader of the pack trait(grandmaster trait in SLB traitline). Instead use the one below it (idk the name... im learning SLB too)Ultimatly last tip: count ur dagger(or sword) AA chainsYou should use the chain of sword or the dagger 4 times... if u are using dagger u should use double arc (dagger 2) 1 time before starting the 4 AA chain and 1 time after the chain for maximum dps and then using axe 4 then swapping.I promise this is the last tip ;) : in option menu turn the option that makes all ur ground target skills (barrage and axe 4) exactly get targeted on ur current target ON so u make sure axe 4 always hitsHope my tips helped you a bit

Thanks for the tips. I took LB Autoattack and Sword Autoattack off. This tip helped alot from prevent canceling.

[I need help with my soulbeast rolation]

I have been trying to improve my rotation. My typical DPS is about ~25k on golems. My uptime is about 92-93%. ArcDPS reports that most of my cancels is from my Long Range Shot (LB AA). I tried to stop clicking and let it automatically auto attack but it doesn't work as well. What should i do?

Edit: I realized that I might be late when switching skills so my autoattack might activate.

[Mastery points needed for strike missions?]

@Sniper.5961 said:You definitely want to have the icebrood saga masteries that are needed to open the chests to get the loot in the end. The energy ray that comes after it is useful too.

Which masteries are that and to what tier?

[Mastery points needed for strike missions?]

Hi there,

Im a experience fractal player who runs CMs daily. I recently got interested in strike missions. Before I do strike missions, is there any mastery point achievement(s) I need to complete?

Im planning to use my DPS gear recommended by the snowcrow website.

[For all those who dont know how to rotate with a ranger on ur team]

Good information! Can i ask you what your rank is? Im also curious how high you can climb with core ranger.

[Decap engi is probably the most degen class rn]

@"aelska.4609" said:Dunno, I found it to be quite interactive tbh

(More honestly it is more meme potential than a problem if you don't do like me. Ignore and go on other nodes. I'd have expected it to be fixed in small balance patch if anet dev team didn't get killed in Jormag's landing.)

Bro that was me. I was playing core guard too. The decap engi was the ranked 3 NA lol. I was 1400~ player lol. (matchmaking sucks)

[Great Balance Patch Today!]

Where can i look at the patch?

[Decap engi is probably the most degen class rn]

Can someone explain what to do against a Decap Engi?

[PVP Stomp Bug]

This happen in 2 matches. I tried stomping a ranger and the stomp doesn't go through. The ranger has already used both knockdowns during downstate. When the stomp doesn't go through, I tried to cleave but I can't damage the ranger.

[X of Justice Passive?]

Hi guys,

When i active X of Justice, do i lost the passive burn while the ability is on cooldown? I primary care for its mechanics in PVP.

[Is Deeply Discounted Fractal Encryption Key worth it?]

Is this profit included with the cost of keys and potential of earnings from selling Encryptions?

[Is Deeply Discounted Fractal Encryption Key worth it?]

@Geoff Fey.1035 said:

@"Syiic.3724" said:Is there a website that shows the math?

Assuming:

• T4 + Recs Completed Daily
• Fractal Mastery Maxed Out prior to opening
• Buy the 30 Deeply Discounted Keys/Day (6g cost)

Average Profit for opened Fractal Encryptions

:

~14g/Day

Min-Max Range for Profit:

~3g to ~48g/Day

Remember that with a semi-competent group, CM+T4+Recs only takes about 1.5 hrs.

Average Profit Math

Just in junk, you (can) make 423.45g per 1,000 Encryptions. Works out to 42s34c per opened Encryption. Using this as a baseline for subsequent calculations.

This does not include:

• all of the extra drops from encryption (Trophies, Aetherized weapon skins)
• extra keys from Fractal Encryptions (10% chance/encryption with Mastery)
• Ascended Mats (Deldrimor, Spiritwood, etc) from Daily Chests that can add 3g alone to the profit.
• Ascended Chests from dailies help you in the long run because you're not spending money on gearing characters.
• Drops from the Fractals themselves.

42s34c (Video) - 20s (Deeply Discounted Key)= 22s34c profit/Encryption opened with Keys. At 30 Keys/Day = 6g70s20c15 Keys/Day from Dailies (T4 + Recs) = 15

42s34c = 6g35s10cRoughly 50 Encryptions/Day (varies) - 45 Opened = 5 Leftover

21s95c (Current TP Price) - 15% (TP Tax) = 93s28c/day Profit

TOTALS: 6g70s20c + 6g35s10c + 93s28c = 13g98s58c

If you only use the keys and sell leftover, you're looking at about

14g Profit per day.

on average.

Min-Max Range Profit Math

Looking at the research table:

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Cracked_Fractal_Encryption/research

the lowest you can get per Encryption is 1 Postulate (20s each) and the Highest you can get is 2 Manuscripts (60s each = 1.2g)

• 1 Postulate/Encryption is the Lowest Profit = 0.2g/Encryption * 45 keys/day - 6g Buying 30 Keys = 3g Profit Minimum
• 2 Manuscripts/Encryption is the Highets Profit = 1.2g/Encryption * 45 keys/day - 6g Buying 30 Keys = 48g Profit Maximum

Wow! Thanks for the breakdown. I really appreciate it! People will find this very useful!

[Is Deeply Discounted Fractal Encryption Key worth it?]

Is there a website that shows the math?

[Is Deeply Discounted Fractal Encryption Key worth it?]

Hi guys, im couldn't found a posting on this. Im sure there probably was.

Is Deeply Discounted Fractal Encryption Key worth it if I have my own Encryption from dailies? I also have the resourcing resourcing mastery.

Edit:Hi guys,

After some trials, i think deeply discounted keys (first 30) is not worth it. I open 300 keys (first 30s) and found that it was better to just sell the Encryptions. Just open encryption with keys you get from fractal dailies.

[Looking for FC WvW guild]

Hi there i just transferred to FC. I main necro. Im looking for a WvW guild to join. I like zerging with a commanders on comms. I also play on NA timezone

[WvW Tier Status? Looking to transfer]

I play NA pst. My guild was usually run with 35-40+ during wvw events. We are currently t3 going to t4

[WvW Tier Status? Looking to transfer]

I get where you guys are coming from. However, if i stick to my current guild (which is great), we dont get many good fights due to lower tier. I feel that we are pveing more than pvping if u guys get what im saying. Capture...capture...capture...fight against small pug..rinse and repeat. I was expecting higher tiers to have more organized fights.
