I'd suggest waiting for 6.5 ish if you plan to buy in the near future. If you want to know when to buy, go to spidy and study the graph. Or just learn to be obsessive about checking the price in game because it can fluctuate quickly.

For warden phase of the Mega Maid fight, is it possible for those who finished their warden early to help others with the remaining champs? There's no real difficulty in standing around with a couple minutes to spare while watching the sole two players in the next circle over struggling to bring their warden down below the half-way mark.

Just fyi, if you finish your champ circle, you can help a circle next to you as long as they pull their champ over to the edge of the ring. For some reason your ranged attacks can hit them (or at least my Guardian's staff attacks were). Not sure if it's intentional or not, but eh.

Which really sucks, I get it, they want each group to have a skin in game but at least make it so if a group finishes their champion/power node it opens up the circle and they can help the circle either left or right of the group. PS What is a good armor name (Knights/Berserker/Solider/etc) for a Ranger that does Longbow/Greatsword and maybe Sword/Axe? BexGu fucked around with this message at 16:49 on Jan 22, 2014 |

So I'm going to be hitting 80 with my warrior today. This is my first end game character, and I was hoping to get feedback on what I am going for on my first suit of end-game gear. I've heard Berserker armor is what I want...am I correct in thinking that any set of Berserker Exotic heavy will do? What do I want for runes and starting weapons? Once I have that stuff and pretty princess it up I start working towards legendary weapons and ascended armor, right? motherbox fucked around with this message at 16:48 on Jan 22, 2014 |

Cheap ruby orbs will do instead of runes. You don't really need legendaries or ascended armor, they are very minimal upgrades.

Go with Ruby Orbs if you're going for damage. Runes and Sigils are undergoing a complete overhaul come the next balance patch. They're you're cheapest damage option and they are neck and neck with Ogre and Scholars (minus the latter's 6th bonus).

Thanks for the tips. Sorry to be paranoid, but a full set of this: http://www.gw2db.com/recipes/7049-berserkers-draconic-coat with Ruby orbs is what i'm looking for? For some reason, it feels like it should be harder than dropping 20 gold on the trading post...

You can always tell who the poverty players are (like me) because they have chain spiderweb armor and pearl weapons.

It's even sadder because you can get cheaper, better looking exotic weapons from the WvW vendors using your freebie achievement badges.

A good, cheap way to get skins is through WvW badges, iirc 7 badges gets you a 1h weapon skin and 10 badges for a 2h skin. The vendor is next to the laurel vendor and they're available if you're lvl 80. I personally prefer the glyphic weapons or whatever the asura ones are called over the pearl ones. Also i'm too poor to afford any other skins yet.

I don't know, you will be shocked about how cheap some of the cool looking exotic weapons are going for. And even with decent stats! I mean, I got Final Rest and Moonshank for my nerco for like 3ish gold total. And as for armor just go to WvWvW and visit the Armor Master to pick up a complete set of armor with various stats for 5.5 gold and Badges. They even sell stuff to make it look like different level Karma gear! Of course I can't find any bows that look good besides the Legendary ones.

I'm really loving confused on the worms honestly, I did one last night where it went super smooth, we where on point with the essence poo poo and DPS the gently caress out of it when it was down and we barely scratched it, it doesn't help that it falls under world boss classification so its immune to crits and conditions. I'm just waiting for the next patch note to say something like "Fixed a bug that made the wurms impossible to kill". Though I legit thinking something is wrong, I feel when he's down he should be taking gobs and gobs of damage like Tequalt when he gets stunned. Also on runes for a warrior advice, I really like soldiers, being able to clear 3 condis with for great justice and shake it off is a godsend.

I should also point out, two of those were intentionally not killed. Once you kill one wurm, you have 45 seconds to kill another (or both? don't know yet) wurm.

^^^ This game.  Ghostpilot posted:Edit: Furthermore, there's the issue of many events being DPS checks. It sends mixed messages when they put timers on bosses, have events that require burst damage (many dungeons and world events), challenges that require sustained damage and throttling of that damage (e.g. some guild challenges) and have many enemies that are immune to critical hits and conditions, and then punish people for building that way.

It's one of those fights? Fuuuuuuuuuuuck. That poo poo's hard enough to pull off with just 30 people on the branded mine guild challenge, I can't imagine how impossible it'll be with a full map and people in three totally different areas.

This is going to be even funnier when they nerf Zerker gear and suddenly you need three times as many people to kill world bosses in time. I wonder what Anet's response will be when nobody ever bothers to fight the worm again after the first week.
