Harrow posted:I'm pretty sure Chronomancer can do its Quickness/Alacrity job without Minstrel's, so I'd go with whatever you use for damage. Maybe you need one piece of something with boon duration (I usually see Commander's suggested but I dunno)? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, though. You can keep up permanent Quickness with full Berserker gear (and the proper runes, sigil, and consumables) and a good rotation and proper group stacking, but getting to 100% boon duration helps make your job easier. If you want to cut out, say, the 96 silver / 30 minutes Bountiful Sharpening Stones, swap in some Exotic accessories (back, earrings, rings, amulet, preferably in that order) with Platinum Doubloons in their upgrade slot. This can get you 97% with dirt cheap food and low effort runes: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vhAQJAsNSAAgaA-TBCFQBZQPAAOBAQb+jAUCSwHAAKU/xGK/Sy+DCBwE-e Unfortunately the ~50g Sigil of Concentration is so powerful that it's hard to pass up, but you only really need one at least. The proper min/max build uses a Platinum Doubloon in the back and Commander's legs, but I've been skipping on Bountiful stones and just use a couple more Doubloons and Commander's boots to make up the difference. Minstrel's Chronomancer is kind of a gimmick build to make tanking easier and throw out some extra healing and boons if your group isn't quite making it.

While we're asking for advice, I was wondering if someone could put me on the right path. I tend to play GW2 off and on whenever it takes my fancy, and I've seen that there are some recent buffs to Condi Rev. I thought the Rev was pretty cool and was a little disappointed to find that it wasn't great before, so I'm excited to give it a shot now. I'm not necessarily planning on doing anything high end, but where should I start in terms of getting gear? It looks like Viper's is the way to go, and assuming I start from basically nothing in terms of current gear on the Rev, what's the most cost effective way of going towards condi? Ascended is probably out of the question, but do you go Exotic Vipers or just try out some cheap condi gear and see if it's something worth working towards in terms of Asc stuff? Tia for any advice.

If you're going for the Emperor's New Wardrobe anyway (I think it's 770ish gold without badges, so use badges) you only need one of that piece of armour per tier, it's not armour weight dependant. So if you want the charr heavy t3 gloves and shoulders but also the charr medium t3 chest, you don't need to get the heavy t3 chest unless you want to. Or the charr t3 light, ever, cause it sucks.

I thought the Rev was pretty cool and was a little disappointed to find that it wasn't great before, so I'm excited to give it a shot now. If you just want to get running around as a Condi Rev as soon as possible, you could probably just buy gear with Condition Damage on it from the TP (look for Brutus', Sheena's, Koss' or Galrath's armor instead of crafted stuff, and preferably use the ones with Condition Damage as the highest stat) and use Balthazar runes, also get as many Viper trinkets as you can from Living Story season 3 zones, they won't bind to your character so you can re-use them later. That said, Berserker Revenant is still pretty good for lower effort content.

Basically your choices are Rabid (condi/prec/toughness) and Carrion (condi/power/vit) for budget condition builds, because the two best condition stat sets are stupidly expensive while a set of zerker exo armour that will last you the entire non-high fractal game can be flat out bought for under 30g for a heavy class. Also hiding the sinister ascended trinkets behind the LS2 mastery achievements was a total dick move.

Maybe you need one piece of something with boon duration (I usually see Commander's suggested but I dunno)? Someone correct me if I'm wrong, though. Quantify has a good guide for the Raid Mesmer: http://qtfy.eu/build/mesmer If you're not tanking, or you're just starting out Raiding, just use Exotic Berserker's gear and work your way up to Ascended Berserker's or Commander's. You can use Runes of Water instead of Runes of Leadership for Boon Duration (I do). Some people use 4x Traveler's Runes and 2x Platinum Doubloons, and that works too. Also, buy Boon Duration food and that will help you by leaps and bounds. When you can, get a Sigil of Concentration for the inevitable ascended weapon and that will help too. Don't worry about the cost; raids make you rich quick (they did for me). Eventually, you may reach a point where you don't need it anymore, but let that be a goal for your raiding to keep you motivated. When I'm Chronotanking, I use Minstrel's armor with Runes of Water and Berserker's Weapons with Plat Doubloons. I do okay. Also, if you want to try a ranged damage role and you don't like tanking, take a look at Condi Mesmer. It's surprisingly good in a lot of Raid encounters, especially if the boss does a lot of running around. Start with exotic sinister's and work your way up to a combination of ascended Viper's and Sinister's with berserker runes. The food's more expensive, but that's just the trade off for cheaper other gear I guess. Edit: Also, the raid comp will sometimes affect what is "optimal," like for instance having a Rev in the group will give you a boon duration boost, so you can actually wear Assassin's gear with scholar runes. But frankly, don't worry about what's optimal when you're just starting out. Look into options after you feel more comfortable with raiding with the class. When you find a chill group to raid with, you guys will gradually figure out a comp and equipment combo that works. Spookyelectric fucked around with this message at 03:38 on May 23, 2017 |

One of these days I just need to get over the big money hurdle and make a legendary. Astralaria is real tempting with axe Mesmer on the horizon, though obviously I have no idea if Mesmer axe is even going to be any fun. Still, having the money ready to start would be good.

The good news is that the same builds work 99% of the time for raids and fractals, so if you're geared for one you should be good to go in the other.

Rynoto posted:Legendaries should really only be crafted once your perception of gold goes from "I never have enough" to "What should I buy today?" While in fairness I think I'm closer to the latter than the former, I think having a legendary to work on can help offset the sometimes too open-endedness of things in this game. There are other easier goals you can set to give yourself direction, of course, like cheevos or asc gear from the S3 episode zone, but as long as you set your expectations realistically I don't think there's anything wrong with keeping a legendary plan underway. Also, regarding the asc materials, the 1/day parts use the materials you're most likely to find running around at 80...the lump of mithrillium is pretty easy to knock out daily, then the glob thing for wood, the the silk whatsits, and finally the elonian cord for leather is probably least likely to happen daily. You can just stockpile those, since Deldrimor Steel, Bolts of Damask, etc., are not on daily cooldowns, and if you're sitting pretty on a pile of mithrillium you can just buy a bunch of the other metals and bang out the deld steel whenever.

Heart of Thorns mastery effort post: I have made an attept at categorizing all the Heart of Thorns masteries below. They are sorted into which zone they are in, and further categorized into which type of mastery. The order of the zones is the natural way you will explore Heart of Thorns. I have tried to be objective when placing the mastery points in a difficulty category. All the easy ones are ones that I personally had no problems doing, and I have very little patience for grinding out content like this. Easy - These are masteries you will get by default from e.g. completing the story or are otherwise very easy to get. Medium These require a bit of practice and/or studying guides more carefully, but should not be very challenging to acquire. Hard- These will require a lot of practice, some luck, and in some cases the correct professions Extremely Difficult These will require an extreme amount of practice and dedication, as well as luck and the correct profession. These should only be attempted by players who wish to get every single achievement. Please note: When you enter Heart of Thorns you will struggle to move around and explore. There are many masteries that make exploration much easier. Many mastery points are a lot easier to acquire with these masteries, or flat out require certain masteries to be reachable. The difficulty stated for individual masteries assume that you have these required masteries. I recommend getting your Heart of Thorns masteries in the following order, with key ones in bold. These will all make it easier and easier to move around in Heart of Thorns: Glider Basics, Updraft Use, Bouncing Mushrooms, Nuhoch Hunting, Nuhoch Wallows, Lean Techniques, Exalted Markings, Exalted acceptance, Stealth Gliding, Advanced Gliding *Heart of Thorns Story* Easy: Establishing a Foothold, In Their Footsteps, Prisoners of the Dragon, The Jungle Provides, Torn from the Sky, City of Hope, Prized Possessions, Strange Observations, The Predator's Path, Buried Insight, Roots of Terror, Sign Cutting, The Way In, Bitter Harvest, Hearts and Minds Just do the storyline and you will get all these for free Heart of Thorns Act III Mastery - Play through the episode normally to all the achievements Hard Heart of Thorns Act I Mastery,Heart of Thorns Act II Mastery - Play through the episodes to unlock all the achievements Extremely Difficult Heart of Thorns Act IV Mastery Requires doing the Migraine achievement which is aptly named. *Verdant Brink* Strongboxes all easy - guide Faren's Flyer Strongbox, Glory of Tyria Strongbox, Lethal Vantage Strongbox, Mellaggan's Valor Strongbox, Thunderbreaker Strongbox Adventures Easy Bronzer It is easy to get Bronze rating on all Verdant Brink adventures Bugs in the Branches: Silver Easily doable on silver with 2-3 practice attempts Flying Circus: Silver Easily doable on silver with 2-3 practice attempts Salvage Pit: Gold Should be doable on gold on your very first attempt on an adventure, ever, it is THAT easy Salvage Pit: Silver see above Tendril Torchers: Silver Easily doable on silver, hint: look up Medium Bugs in the Branches: Gold Gold can be had with a bit of practice Flying Circus: Gold Gold can be had with a bit of practice Shooting Gallery: Silver Silver can be had with a bit of practice Hard Tendril Torchers: Gold This one requires thorough planning and a lot of practice Extremely Difficult Shooting Gallery: Gold One of the hardest adventures in the game, considered nigh impossible Meta events and exploration Ground Pounder Easy, but takes quite a while to do Jungle Totem Hunter Easy, just follow a guide Sky Commander Easy, just defeat all 5 nightfall bosses during the VB meta event.

Rynoto posted:Legendaries should really only be crafted once your perception of gold goes from "I never have enough" to "What should I buy today?" What if you're really bad with money and so your attitude is both at once?  It helps that I'm not going to decide what legendary to craft until I know more about the axe Mesmer elite spec, so I know how badly I want Astralaria instead of, say, Bolt. Until then I can just focus on amassing gold and maybe not dumping it all on something. Though, I wonder: does Ascended armor "pay for itself?" As in, do the higher-tier Fractals that Ascended armor would let me do give a lot more money per run than lower-tier ones and/or just open up more ways to make money? Or should I stick to the lower-tier Fractals that I can do with Ascended weapons/trinkets/backpiece?

So far it seems so, if just because it saves a lot of time to do the three daily fractals at the highest tier you can to autocomplete the lower tiers as well. Plus there's kind of a snowball effect, I've gotten two additional pieces of ascended armor in the last week of doing the t2 dailies. And then, if I get a armor box for a piece I already have I just choose a different weight for an alt so I don't have to spend anything to equip them with ascended armor.

Get enough agony resist for fractal 40 if you are a turbo nerd and just want to make gold. Realistically you only need one ascended set to do the daily tier 4 fractals. You'll eventually get enough ascended drops to equip all you alts. If I only had exotics I'd do the easy raid wings bosses for easy ascended armor. Do escort, trio, wing 4 for easy magnetite shards.

Regarding HoT mastery points:quote:Vinetooth Hunter Participate in this event and kill him This one is in no way easy, it's a hard DPS and CC check, requires a fairly large (40+) group, and fails roughly 90% of the time it's attempted. You need a lot of luck to land in a successful Vinetooth Prime event.

The chances of getting a coat or leggings ascended box is low enough even from t4s that either crafting or buying them from the raid vendors would be the safer option. Just make sure you have already added in the cost for all of the AR infusions to push yourself up to 150 on top of the ascended costs.

How many pieces of armor is strictly necessary for hitting 150 AR without buying stupidly expensive agony infusions (in which case I might as well just make more ascended armor)? Like +10 agony infusions don't seem prohibitively expensive (for reference I'm working with about 800 gold right now), so if I have 15 slots to work with I could hit 150. So, what, three pieces of ascended armor, assuming I infuse + attune my rings and infuse the backpiece? Edit: Also I should probably make an effort to really know what I'm doing in fractals if I'm gonna do this on my Mesmer. People will probably expect me to be able to portal them past jumping sections and stuff, huh

So, what, three pieces of ascended armor, assuming I infuse + attune my rings and infuse the backpiece? My agony infusion formula of choice (possibly copied from this thread earlier) is : +9 for your rings (3 each, so total of 6 needed) and +8 for every other slot: 6x armor, 2x weapons, 2x earrings, 2x backpiece which is 12 total and brings you total to 150 AR. You don't really need all that much to get to 61 AR which is required for full Tier 2. (do remember to take out your infusions when you infuse/attune gear in the Mystic forge.) If you have an artificer you can craft them yourself when you have gathered enough +1 infusions. You will still need Thermocatalytic reagents, though. I'm a big wuss though, even though I have full AR I'm very squeamish of doing T4 even with guildies. I don't have the most experience other than tiers 1-2 and 3 on selected fractals and I'm kinda worried I'll eat dirt most of the time if/when T4 things get tougher or even add more stuff to deal with. When I PUG stuff, I should just do it instead of worrying people will say mean things to me, I know. TeaJay fucked around with this message at 18:28 on May 23, 2017 |

I already have 64 AR--last time I played someone in I think SFD was really helpful in getting me started with agony infusions--so I can at least do up to tier 2s while I build up resources to infuse/attune and stuff.

Harrow posted:Though, I wonder: does Ascended armor "pay for itself?" As in, do the higher-tier Fractals that Ascended armor would let me do give a lot more money per run than lower-tier ones and/or just open up more ways to make money? Or should I stick to the lower-tier Fractals that I can do with Ascended weapons/trinkets/backpiece? It definitely does. I make 10G+ per day from just running T4s, plus I have quite a bit of ascended gear for my alts from drops. Definitely well worth the effort of getting, plus with the raid shards you can buy a few of the more expensive pieces that way.
