I'm seeing that I get scaled down a couple levels when I went to Queensdale (I'm a Norn). So hypothetically, doing every single 1-15 zone for all races would be a viable leveling plan? I'm not going to, but I noticed I was lagging behind the level recommendation for the Norn hearts. :(

Yes. Your level downscales, but the rewards are appropriate for your real level.

Yeah doing all the starter zones is perfectly fine. You get 10% of a level whenever you complete a map but it takes awhile to do that. The starter the zones themselves are pretty varied so they are not repetitive at least the first time.

Raids are awesome, I'm on the gw2 forum advocating for: DPS meters, difficulty modes, LFG system and leaderboards. So both casual players and hardcore players are against me.

I"m also reminding everyone of what happened to fractals (in 4 days time it will be 2 years since new content) dungeons (dead) sab (dead) and wvw (ignored) which is exactly what will happen to raids once they're finished.

I'm getting a bunch of angry whispers about it.

ISPs figured out that the "power" users responsible for most bandwidth were the only users active after midnight, and figured they could just throttle everyone aggressively around then to save money.

Sounds reasonable, the game is perfectly playable in small groups, situations where the information about which guild a player is in would be only slightly queried, but then at larger events where it would be queried quite a lot it all goes to poo poo or at least it does for me. Could be some error from the guild server somehow choking a connection and causing people to lag out

Going for sword/torch and longbow for weapons I think. Does anyone mind posting the builds again? Thanks.

Maybe they should change the Mistward Headwrap requirement from Chak Gerent to something people actually do, because I this rate I'll never get the drat thing.

Luckily it's the most replaceable piece since the starting headwraps don't look much different.

I don't remember what the pro traits are, but it's something like arms/discipline/berserker for stuff on crit and better burst skills/recharge

Also cool and of note, zerker sword burst doesn't root you like the regular one does, as well as being ranged and hella burny

I should really just
learn to stop talking.
I want to play the raid but my mother managed to accidently make me get her christmas present early. I was gonna help her pick out a pair of headphones after work but she heard about a doxin-chihuahua puppy this one place had so of course she had to go look at it and so on. So I've been helping her get everything ready for it because we bought it on the spot, including late night dogstore raids for bowels and a kennel as well as taking said kennel back because it was too small.

So now I'm playing catchup with some chores, but unlike a responsible adult I'm probably gonna skip it and log in as soon as I get home. I can theorycraft until then though. I had an idea of using my necro in a full rabid set to apply condition damage, boon stripping and toughness tanking. Someone in guild chat mentioned that they had a rabid necro along and the damage they brought wasn't enough. So I'm planning on switching to viper (exotic only or if it's that expensive I'll go with sinister) with some dire pieces to maintain aggro/survivability. I've been playing my condi necro recently to get back into it for raiding, but I can't help feel that scepter just isn't going to cut it, despite being pretty much a condi only weapon.

Yea, it's guaranteed. The problem is getting 4 lanes that all succeed. 4-5 attempts this week and it gets hosed every time.

I posted this a while back (although I've swapped some runes and gear around a little bit) but I've actually had time to try it out now and the 100% duration on both bleeding and burning is hilarious:
