I figured we were talking about the base mats (wood, leather, ore) or the refined products (deldrimor ingots, damask), not the intermediaries (elonian cord, elder spirit residue).

Although the effort for your average crafter isn't worth the profits at the moment (spiritwood and damask are crafted at a loss). So this change will hopefully make daily crafting worthwhile again. It also bolsters the value of T3,4, and 5 mats used in their production.

Surprisingly quite a few class's auto-attacks have an aftercast that can be completely negated by turning off auto-attack and mashing 1. It's not negligible either and will result in a dps gain. Mesmer GS auto comes to mind immediately. can you give some other examples of classes that do that because i want to max my dippy s

TeaJay posted:Is there a point that you should not complete the auto-attack chain with the symbol with the mashing '1' ? Do the attacks go off faster if you spam the button instead of letting your character auto-attack? I was mostly being facetious about the simplicity of the rotation. Mashing 1 and pressing 1 once then letting your character auto-attack do, as far as I know, the same thing. One important thing though is specifically to not interrupt your auto-attack chain with other abilities. You depend on a lot on symbol uptime for DPS, and if you interrupt your auto chain you'll lose your symbol and be sad.

Mashing 1 only makes it feel faster, you have to actually cancel out of it. Sheath weapon is a great key to use as it doesn't lock you in animation. It's what I use in wvw for mesmer's gs1 autoattack aftercast on the third hit.

Nick sorry, I forgot to post this My gear is all Marauder stat (except for uh, my underwater stuff? and who cares about that) and mostly ascended with a few exotic. I use longbow primary, and mace/shield secondary because I have moot/flameseeker and look drat good. If you wanna use something else for a secondary then swap out traits for those weapons. Speaking of ascended, wtf is this change? Will this make crafting my last few pieces worse?

How are Revs in the endgame? I'm enjoying leveling one up but concerned that the gameplay might change as I get further along. Currently I've been running around with a mace and axe while doing Assassin (I hear Demon is supposed to go well with the weapon choice, but I've been happier with Assassin's utility powers).

I won't speak to raids, but everywhere else they're great. Glint/Shiro is pmuch the default PvE stance combo (you won't have access to Glint until you get the elite spec going) so you're probably going to do fine. Sword is a better mainhand weapon though, and you'll want a staff & a hammer available (for breakbars & range, respectively).

Tsurupettan posted:okay, my guardian is 80, it's super rad to play and I'm looking forward to continuing with it and gearing it up. i also discovered the shatterer today and that was really fun! i even stumbled into some SUPER COORDINATED group that did Smash the Dragon. As ApeHawk said, Mesmers are the best but the leveling one isn't. They're a class that's very reliant on traits, so until you have three trait lines, they're just not as fun. If the game is still new and fresh for you and you like to just run around exploring, go ahead and do Mesmer, otherwise you can just work through Necro and save your free login tomes for your Mesmer after that. Necromancers are invincible, AoE-vomiting, walking nuclear bombs that are probably the easiest class to level outside of maybe Warrior.

I just found gw2efficiency and it is an amazing amalgamation of a bunch of the other resource websites in the OP. I imagine it's pretty common knowledge for most players, but could it get added to the OP for people like me who are coming back fresh? Also I ended up trying out both the Mesmer and Necro for leveling (since i have them at 30 from boosts anyway), and yeah the Mesmer is more difficult to manage but making clone buddies and exploding them on everything is fun. The Necro feels a lot slower and less exciting. Maybe I'm just playing the Necro wrong, though. I remade my thief as an Asura and their animations are great for daredevil. I love it.  Plus female Asura do flips when they dodge so it's perfect! And considering that most of the racial utilities seem like hot garbage, Radiation Field actually looks legit as hell?

i have just performed a cool AUTO ATTACK TEST on my guardian vs the raid training golem my dps was 13k this is with all boons, spotter buff, and frost spirit no food or moving or any skills i am thinking maybe it is better to drop dragonhunter in favour of virtues for 1% increased damage per boon and 20% increased damage with aegis e: yes my damage went up to 15.8k dps e2: adding warrior buffs (banners + empower allies) and only having boons aegis, swiftness, regen, quickness, might and fury, stationary dps is up to 18k. if i used food or the correct runes i would easily be out-damaging a lot of tempests (not the pro ones though), however this does rely on being able to keep aegis up where the red fern gropes fucked around with this message at 10:55 on Feb 19, 2017 |

I haven't touched GW2 since a bit before the expansion came out. Thinking about buying HoT and giving it a shot again. What direction has the game been going? I was a big fan of dungeons/fractals but was pretty disappointed that Anet was seemingly focusing on lame living story chapters, zerg content where you just mash 1, and cash shop items. How about now?

How about now? There are 10 man raids now, can't comment more since it's not really for me, and also Fractals have been polished a bit during this time. They are at least actively updating Fractals, unlike dungeons, which they don't really support much. They did add some new mechanics though where after doing 8 paths you get a chest with 150 freely selectable dungeon tokens. ANet's focus is still on lame living story, zerg content and cash shop items, though.

How about now? I played a ton before HoT, mostly stopped right after HoT came out, and then just picked it up again recently. I'd say there have been a ton of improvements, though it's still largely the same game. All the HoT content is a lot of fun, the fractal updates are amazing (selectable fractals, agony infusions can go everywhere, a few new ones, and a number of updates to the old ones), and the new LS chapters have at least been accompanied by some cool new map zones that all feel pretty busy and have lots of events. The raids are a lot of fun too, and we have a few goon groups that raid regularly. I'd definitely recommend getting HoT and giving it a shot again.

They're hacks of the game runtime to make it show more combat feedback, and were generally understood to be against the ToS for a while, so people didn't really talk about them. ANet eventually decided that a proper DPS meter is a useful tool but were unwilling to support one so they just came to agreements with the creators over details and features. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8_-zFjyU00 Links to each meter in the video description there.
