Good reset, SFD!

oh hey related to that, definitely reposting my screencaps from when i made fun of him for believing in pizzagate




btw if you really really want to make him upset, send him a slice of pizza and something along the lines of "John Podesta sends his regards"


also jfc does he tell everyone his character backstories, when he was rambling about pizzagate he went on and on about how his characters were badass edgelords who will slit your throat for looking at them funny BUT EVEN THEY HAVE STANDARDS MAN THEYD NEVER TOUCH KIDS

i have no idea how we ever became T1 but it happened after xushin stopped commanding

But wasn't that because he loaned 15k gold to buy legendaries to bribe SEA guilds to transfer? Then he just started farming to recoup that money

Takeaways: you can probably skip flamethrower 2

I suspected that the cast time of FT 2 would be clunky for a rotation, but not so much that it would be skipped entirely. Ouch.

I find the only reliable way to use it is to get in the hit box and double tap 2 to guarantee both skills hit. It might be worth using when you can do that, but I'm not really sure.

The detonation still has a blast radius, so you can still do it from range: fire it, let it roll through the target's hitbox, then detonate. The problem is that this is 1) far easier on targets with large hitboxes, but condi engi is otherwise useful primarily against small hitboxes, and 2) while you're waiting for the ball to roll through you're not doing anything else, which is a DPS loss.

Lugi's still correct, though - you'll almost certainly get a DPS gain in practical terms by just ignoring the skill altogether. There's enough other poo poo to keep track of anyway.

Tybalt is an arc where you are basically not the main character. It's about tybalt overcoming his self-doubt and coming into his own. The other two felt too much like it was about your and your mentor sidekicks.

If you want a pass to one of the 1%er areas, Lava Lounge is a good one imo, right behind the original Divinity's Reach one.

So apparently Mystic Coins are worth a whole hell of a lot compared to when I last played. I have over 200 stockpiled and may as well just sell them. All I can find is that they are used for some guild boosts.

What makes it a good one? They're allt he same, right? Super densely packed special areas with every amenity?

It basically means if I wanna do sale things and use the bank I'd click a thing to go there and have it all next to each other and convenient and minimize running around?

I go by two things, layout and looks. The Lava Lounge and DR area look the best and have the best layouts of stuff imo. And really, the different layouts save you a couple seconds at most. Go by looks alone :D

i bought the thing and went in it and it was really good and convenient and cool

and then i realized it was a clever ploy to get me to buy a shared slot beyond the freebie with HoT

They are needed for making mystic clovers which are needed to make legendary weapons. Don't sell if you see yourself ever getting one of those.

FWIW, gold depreciates pretty rapidly in this game, so if you don't need to sell them to use for something now, it's probably better to hold onto them until you actually do need to liquidate. Also they're used for Mystic Clovers as mentioned and every Mystic Forge weapon. You can just buy those off the TP, tho.

I'm thinking of buying the expansion and boosting a warrior (I have an 80 engineer but I'm looking for kind of an easier class). Anyone know of any sales? It looks like I could get a physical copy for around $30.

according to isthereanydeal.com, it's $30 here: http://www.dlgamer.us/download-guild_wars_2_heart_of_thorns-pc_games-p-29808.html

i have never used this site, ever, but it's supported by the deal site so it's probably legit.

It doesn't help that I'm fat as fuck, so my face shouldn't be shown off in the first place.
The HoT 80 booster is intended as a bonus for purchasing it and should still be available.

E: Reading the forum it looks like they're just disabled and should be back soon? No idea, actually.

DLGamer is legit, it's some french site. Getting a key through them takes a day or two because they do a lot of anti-fraud stuff, but they are an official partner listed on the shop section of guildwars2.com

Joined in for a few attempts at Cairn the Underwhelming Tediously Boring Bad Mechanic'd Indomitable on Saturday, first ever proper go at a raid boss and it was pretty much fine, going to assume that - as I think I was the only new person there - I was probably solely responsible for us not killing it that time (we did get it to 1% one go, with some incredible downed-state play) but it's definitely totally reasonable as a boss. I'll just try to be not downed or ported to the far edge for SYG during those spinning sweep moves next time (no promises).

Did you guys get on alright after I had to head off? I've only just got back home today.

Cairn is basically a survival fight. Any group with reasonable damage will beat the enrage timer (and you've probably seen the video of the fucker soloing the boss for four hours plus) and the most important things are:
- if you have the cooties don't give it to your teammates
- the sweep and the expanding ring are the most dangerous because they can shove you off the platform

We managed to kill it on yesterday's raid in a reasonably good time. It's a shame you didn't get to see the two bosses coming after this one because they are by far my favourite fights.
