God damnit. I started playing this again and came in here to check out the goon thread, and turns out I'm in that PvE thug life video from Pax south that's in the OP. (I'm not the guy talking, I didn't even hear what he said at the time).

So now that I got to see how hideous I look on camera, how's GW2 things? :buddy:

The ranger survival build is very dumb. Not as dumb as shoutbow it would seem though.

Is that the shortbow and axe/dagger ranger build? That's what I've been using in spvp and it's a ton of fun.

There are two variations on the same concept yeah. Alteisen was using the axe/dagger and sword/torch one.

I tried that one out, but I really can't stand using the sword. It just doesn't feel smooth to me, plus I keep loving up and using the 2 at the wrong time and catapulting myself backward off a cliff or some poo poo. The shortbow version is more about bleed stacking, and I'm quite happy with it.

Plus when I get my Dreamer some far-off day in the future I can shoot unicorns and rainbows at people and it'll be awesome

i want to play a pet class - ranger

This sometimes turns people off who hate pet classes, but the ranger pet in this game isn't really something you have to worry about too much. What you do get is a pokemon quest of going out in the world and finding all the coolest pets to tame.

As a class, ranger is a pew pew archer and/or melee skirmisher, like an old school D&D ranger.

You need transmutation charges. You get 1 from 100%ing a capital city, 1 from some of the dailies, and 1 from one of the PvP tracks.

All sPvP reward tracks have 4 transmute charges in them. That's where I get most of mine.

I'm aware that in the 2+ years this game has been out things have changed, but is there anything in particular that will have changed radically? Or has it just been content updates+class tuning?

I did the same thing, the biggest things I noticed were the new trait system and new wardrobe/dye system. Big improvements over the old systems IMO.

Arus sent me 120 stuffed zucchini. I think he's trying to tell me something.

I sent him 250 sticks of butter in return :getin:

During sPvP Sunday this weekend I basically always just focused on him the entire time and I think I beat him a couple times and he killed me dropped a chicken coop on my head a bunch but I think I mainly just made him really frustrated cause I'm a survival ranger and then he sent me 250 packets of salt.

I guess I can stop logging in to EB borderlands every couple hours to see if anyone on my team has taken the last tower I need for full WvW map completion.


(I'll probably still do it anyway, because I like things being complete.)

Can one of you lovelies link a fun Ranger build that is devoid of bows? Playing mine is a tad stale.

Sword/Torch + Axe/Dagger is a fairly popular condition ranger build. I prefer the other condi build cause I like shortbow.

Though this is just for tryhard sPvP, if you're just doing pve/questing stuff greatsword/axe+horn or torch is pretty great.

Do any spvp at all (do one or two matches a day to get the dailies done) and you'll be swimming in free Tomes of Knowledge and level 80 exotic weapons. My most recent character hit level 80 before even setting foot in the level 25+ zones, and had a full set of weapons waiting in the bank.

Now my goal is to finish world completion a little bit at a time and work on my legendary, and continue wrecking fools in spvp. Gotta get that shark finisher.

Is there an updated map site? Cartographers is pretty broken.

e: missing one waypoint in plains of ashford if anyone knows where the new one is.

The missing waypoint in Plains of Ashford is probably the one down by the guild jumping puzzle, south of the Guardpoint Decimus waypoint in the southwestern part of the map.

Go to the mists and you can test it out. Throw some poison on a target and watch your poison damage fluctuate for no good reason

Nooo my bleed ranger :negative:

I did a couple quick tests and my bleeds and poisons seem to be doing normal damage. Or at least it's not fluctuating around like crazy like those other people were saying. :shrug:

Edit: Right up until I tried Bonfire, which steadily drops in damage with each tick. :confused:

Basically each player race has a corresponding enemy faction that you fight against. Separatists, Flame Legion, Nightmare Court, Inquest, Sons of Svanir. They could all be called guilds, I suppose. But that's got nothing to do with the original Guild Wars that MooCowlian described, which barely even featured in the first game. I think they just thought it sounded like a cool name.
