I have one of the books. I assume I bought it. I don't remember much about it. Then again I bought the Legendary or whatever edition of GW2 with the metal box and the statue of Rylock.

That statue is amazing, and everything contained in the collector's edition has been 100% worth it.

mind the walrus posted:Is this why Plains of Ashford has no world boss fight? While almost totally irrelevant I think it's interesting to note that the Flame Legion Shaman that spawns by that lake with all the oil monsters wasn't exactly a world boss but back in beta he was an enemy that could and did devour entire armies of pubbies. Then he got demoted into group event. Now he's just an event.

Sprite141 posted:Yeah, basically each dragon has a weakness. Mordremoth's weakness was the dream, and you steal the dream from him. Zhaitan's weakness was the corruption of orr. By healing the corruption the big bad dragon became stupidly weak amd easy to kill. Yes, this is anet's explaination to him being such a stupidly easy boss. Let's get a head start on the sea dragon, then. New law: All nations must dispose of their garbage in the sea. We'll show that rear end in a top hat. Heh-heh-heh. [edit] Or, joke option, when we finally get around to the sea dragon, (last but not least, right?) we'll find that he's already dead. Choked to death on the runoff from the Black Citadel.

If they were to backpedal and change dungeon rewards back to normal, would people be playing them more or complain that they are the same content from 3 years ago? I've been taking a small break(ish) from GW2 by playing other MMOs and I get pissed when everything is character specific or doesn't let me play with friends (down/up scaling ). Account wide everything has spoiled me. Here is top hoping they change some things unannounced on the 26th!

I feel bad everytime someone mentions raids because I has heavy set into doing them myself, but I'm like 4/5ths of the way through xenoblade and now I really wanna start beating all these console games I've been neglecting for years. Besides, I still have to grind vipers before I can do anything.

Thief DPS is already really good if you know what you're doing and as of the 26th it's going to be even better, so yeah. I love how much damage my staff/shortbow DD can do. Speaking of DPS I should really switch out my Berserker gear on my berserker warrior for something with more condition damage

i genuinely wish they had added dungeons in the expansion because those are pretty fun. i would like some along the lines of the ones from eye of the north but i don't know if stuff like that is even possible anymore since everything has turned into 'dodge the red circle' in gw2.

Or keep the zerk gear and run Phalanx Strength. Supposedly they're fixing the double-hits on Revenant hammer 2 so I could see the same thing happening for the Berserker longbow burst, but they also mentioned building torch 4 so that you could get multiple hits on a target running away from you. It could go either way really. If you just want to run DPS for raids, get a Tempest going. Maurader armor and weapon is like 30% more health pool for I think about 7% damage loss, and is cheaper to craft than Zerk anyway if you already have a tailor up, if you're worried about survivability. Plus you poo poo out healing with the shout heal and have 1200 range with staff. The only time condi builds are a flat out requirement is for Vale Guardian, viper Berserker just happens to do a lot of damage because of the double field thing.

Kenshin posted:Thief DPS is already really good if you know what you're doing and as of the 26th it's going to be even better, so yeah. I love how much damage my staff/shortbow DD can do. The issue with thieves in raids (which will be a non-issue on Tuesday) is that the dps, while good, was still comparable to tempests, berserkers, heralds, etc and so forth, without bringing the essential party buffs those classes offer (powerful damage and healing, perma-max-might, perma-fury and +50% boon duration, etc and so forth). It's a very selfish class. Given the patch previews and the fact that Karl's solution to everything is BIGGER NUMBERS they are likely to break back into the meta with a vengeance, but dps was never really thief's issue. Lack of party utility was. If you're interested in raiding I recommend becoming familiar with staff/daggers because you will literally never use your shortbow ever at all. e: re: the BIGGER NUMBERS: he said sword's autoattack numbers, for example, would go up around 30%. Given the aa was already the best dps choice on that weapon (barely edging out pistol whip) that is basically a flat 30% damage increase for thief's weakest melee weapon. staff and daggers are likely to be... silly.

They need to make a thief double pistol build viable or give more sweet HOPE effects to engineer kits for me to ever justify making that weapon. Holy poo poo it does look and sound cool though

Condi Reaper is pretty comparable (possibly even better damage) than the current Burnzerker, but it requires being able to abuse Jagged Horrors with the Death Magic trait line. If you have a fight like Sabthea or Gorseval where there are mobs constantly dying, you can get out a lot of Jagged Horrors and sustain 20-40k Bleed ticks depending on how well you play it and how well your healer heals the Jagged Horrors. There are drawbacks, though, like how underwhelming the build can be if you are just running around doing nonsense by yourself, or how the Jagged Horrors will cause Sabetha to put down fire AoE in melee range because they mess with her AI somehow. It's a really fun and gimmicky build, though, definitely at least worth trying if you are interested in it.

Speaking of necromancers (and not that reddit... thing) I've been running the minion necro build from scores and scores of pages ago but I'm really not sure which gear type I should be focusing on. I've been going mostly Vitality and/or Toughness and Condition Damage when I get to choose but I'm really kind of flying blind, though enjoying just tearing through the main story like nothing. What, ideally, should I be looking for?
