Down here we have a hotdog place called mustards last stand. It's not bad. My favorites are hotdog with the latka in it and the chilidog in a lightly fried tortilla covered in salsa and cheese.

I think poutine needs a rework so we can call it California cuisine. How do you guys feel about the gravy and cheese curds but then topped off with avocado and blueberries?

And some lemon zest.

I mean, there's already carne asada fries which consist of guacamole, sour cream, cheese, and carne asada served on french fries.

I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

Yo, I'm organizing Raid Group 2, tomorrow Thursday at 9pm EST. Goals are to get VG down pat and try Gorseval, and get us the Mastery points to prep for Sabetha.

Send me a PM with your character name/profession/gear prefix and preferred role, and other alt character/gear you have to reserve your spot and so I can get a count on what we have and what we need. Or send me a mail in-game to Higgsmage.

No prior raid experience required, but you will need to be willing to research the fight and your roles.

The WvW team is considering reverting the desert borderlands into the alpine borderlands.

Mike O' Brien posted:

As we said in the AMA, our top internal priorities have been population balance and rewards. From this thread, your top five priorities are, in order:
1. Stability & skill balance
2. Fix or revert DBL
3. Rewards
4. Population balance
5. Scoring

Yes, we will take the feedback and make stability, general skill balance, and fixing/reverting DBL our top priorities. We’re not currently working on scoring and that has to be a longer-term project.

Karl is working specifically on WvW-focused skill balance. He’s looking for the wins for WvW that don’t screw the rest of the game.

We’re investigating whether to fix or revert DBL. They’re both a lot of work. These next couple days will be your last chance to give feedback before we make a decision, so speak now or forever hold your peace.

I want to reiterate that everything we work on either ships in April or starts beta-testing on Live servers in April. We’re locking down dev work for the April release soon — next up is localization, QA, integration and regression testing — but we’ll extend the deadline for WvW skill balance.

There is one thing that doesn’t need to get wrapped up into the April release: Friday night resets. That doesn’t require a Live build. We’ll do it.

Venomshare Daredevil is dead simple, but you're at like 11,000 health and medium armor, so you have to be careful. Free evades on Death Blossom and dodge spam at least.
Viper Horror Reaper is probably your best bet, but if you're making ascended viper armor, it isn't terribly useful for Ele or Mesmer, where Druid and Engineer can also use it pretty well (though their rotations are the most annoying.) It's also almost entirely ranged damage.
Not sure what people think of Burnzerker anymore but you don't have to worry about positioning your fields perfectly on VG/Sabetha since they fixed it.

Condi Necromancer / Reaper are very powerful, and are disgustingly strong in the new wing that just came out. You can abuse conditions applied by environmental effects (like transferring 40 stacks of poison back to Matthias) and Epidemic mobs down almost immediately. It's also not that hard to play, because around half of your damage is going to come from minions attacking and transferring conditions off of you, so all you really have to worry about is autoattacking with Scepter and using Scepter or Dagger skills. You can also pick up a lot of group support with life steal and Transfusion at the cost of the Reaper line if you chose to do so. Venomshare Daredevil is also fairly simple, and like mentioned earlier, medium Viper's armor is useful on all of the classes that use medium armor

Staff Ele is more or less fine, though your dps against the first boss won't be great cause it's small and moves a lot

Yes, Staff Ele is very participate-able! Unfortunately for you, I only play Elementalist so I will be giving you way way too much advice and details on all the options you have as an Ele in raids.
