So if HT CM is a 10/10 on the difficulty scale, what is this new one? 1 or 2 difficulty? Edit: I watched Teapot clear Cosmic Observatory CM on his stream, on his first attempt. That being said, he brought a disgustingly broken group composition of several Heal Scourges, Quick Heralds, 2 DPS Virtuosos. Their execution wasn't great, but they're still outstanding players, and they made it work. Crazy to clear it on the first try. Jedah fucked around with this message at 20:11 on Nov 7, 2023 |

https://www.pcgamer.com/the-second-part-of-guild-wars-2s-new-expansion-is-out-now-and-its-taking-players-to-the-demon-realm/ New profession weapons beta at the end of this month, but they'll start revealing details about specific kits starting as early as tomorrow quote:We will at least get a preview of the new weapons in a beta week set for later this month, starting November 28. With the beta incoming, I asked ArenaNet's balance lead Cal Cohen what we could expect from the new weapon. "Each profession has its own needs," he says, "so we've been looking at how to enhance the roles available to them all in different ways. For example, staff on warrior and rifle on mesmer are intended for support builds." Starting from tomorrow, daily blog posts at the Guild Wars 2 official site will run through each profession's new skills.

Support staff makes sense and warrior deserves a cool support weapon, but I would've loved a power dps weapon. On another note, what SotO masteries should I focus on? I beelined for the Fireball one for the vault currency, now I'm working towards Ley-Line Acclimation and afterwards probably down the Arcane Treasure road. Is there anything important I should get first?

It's much easier than either AH or XJJ CMs since it has no instakills. The only challenge is perhaps the enrage timer which is somewhat strict compared to the other strikes.

I joined a group from the Crossroads EU discord and we also oneshot it  It's so easy I still actually don't really know how the fight works. What really is disappointing the most is that there is no optional hard mode achievement/title this time around.

i’m trying this game again after like 10 years. i haven’t played any expansions, but think I want to be a Willbender. Should I skip to that expansion or just start at the first one?

EoD probably has the most detailed recap of past events in any expansion so it's not a bad place to start if you don't have a problem with being generally spoiled on what happened.

I think as long as you own EoD, you can use any expansion's hero points to unlock willbender. No need to skip there unless you want to.

You need to fully unlock your base class's HPs though-- I think this is accomplished just from level rewards?

jokes posted:You need to fully unlock your base class's HPs though-- I think this is accomplished just from level rewards? Correct, just by leveling up to 80 you'll have enough hero points to fully unlock all base specs and skills.

Mattavist posted:i’m trying this game again after like 10 years. i haven’t played any expansions, but think I want to be a Willbender. Should I skip to that expansion or just start at the first one? If you're manually leveling from 1, you can just start at the beginning. The normal level rewards will give you 398 skill points, which is exactly enough to fully unlock your class at level 80. From random skill points you earn as you explore the core map you can earn at most 200, and you'll need 250 to fully unlock Willbender. You'll need to pick up the extra 50 points from some of the expansion maps, and EoD is probably the easiest. If you own it, you might be able to use a teleport to friend to get to Arborstone (which has 10 hero points inside), and then walk out the gate to Kaineng. There are a couple of easy to access hero points there that won't require spoiling the story, which would be enough to fully unlock Willbender.

The only challenge is perhaps the enrage timer which is somewhat strict compared to the other strikes. Agreed, it's way easier than the EoD CMs, the insta-kills make those extremely frustrating sometimes on pugs. You're right about the enrage timer, too. How funny you mentioned that, we wiped at 1% due to her enrage timer... but we got it a few attempts later. We weren't on discord, it was a true pug, very chaotic, but still fun. Very Guild Wars 2. I agree with you that it's the easiest of the CMs, but I do like that 10 random strangers can complete it with some teamwork and decent gear. It does seem to be a DPS check.

Is there any reason to hold on to unidentified gear anymore? I thought I remembered a few merchants taking them as currency but I can't find any reference to it on the wiki. I have a full stack of blue and green I can free up some space if I dont.

There's daily (weekly?) AA for identifying like 10 pieces that pops up once in a while. On the subject of the new weapons, it sounds like they're going to be mini specs vs full blown elites, I'm excited!

gandlethorpe posted:First weapon blog post: Ranger maces Hey that's pretty cool. Alac Heal Druid uses mostly Harrier gear, but some folks mix in Giver's/Minstrel gear for tanking. Druid can be an effective tank, this will be better than an Axe because it provides stability. As long as it has cool sound effects, I'm in.

So Rev is getting scepter AND moot is in the box? Seems like the game is telling me something. Though I can probably make Bolt and then make Moot around the time the new weapons actually go in. It's the gift of exploration and battle that aren't just a gold barrier right?

You also need 77 mystic clovers which are primarily time gated, but if you're like me you've just been sitting on tons of them anyway.

Unless I'm missing something Moot is a mace and Revenants only get main hand mace and Scepter will be MH only too.

I love the idea of Thief and all of its specs but none of them have clicked with me. Maybe I'm too old and have lost too much dexterity, which is why I play MM Reaper.
