I finally got this poo poo to reinstall after downloading at 250kb/s and below for like a day and a half. Logged off after about 5 minutes when I realized I had no idea how to play my Mesmer anymore. Looks like I need to set aside a few hours just to look at the skill menu.

This seems to happen a lot with people returning to the game. Honestly the best thing you can do is just play. Run around a map and do some hearts, or do some world bosses, or even jump into some pvp (pull a build from metabattle.com). Don't overthink it, just play and the details will work themselves out over time.

Sorry m8 you look like broiled rear end, the fact that every piece matches is your first mistake.

You're edgy now. Nice, that's a big improvement over this



I hope it's not temporary

afaik the answer is yes, as long as whomever you bring in isn't like a total turd or anything. That whole accepting responsibility thing. I believe that was kinda the go-to rule in both guilds if I recall correctly? Someone feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Not being a turd is a requirement? How did Alteisen get in?

I'm sure they'll get their poo poo together eventually. It's still a game that we all loved at some point, for one reason or another. Rather than feed my growing disappointment, I'm stepping away for a bit.

I caught a horse in BDO today. Named it Aiyyi. Now I just need to figure out how to butcher it.

Here's a fun Scrapper build I've had success with lately. Very survivable allowing you to defend a point and also brings a lot to team fights for pressuring enemy points.

this is a good build that is squarely entering the meta. final salvo is really, really good. it also has a lot of alternatives - you can slot hoelbrak runes, paladin amulet, blood sigil, any combination of these and the current build to exploit synergy works.

Yeah, final salvo almost feels broken. So much stability.

Yeah, knew about that already. Does everyone still hate the new WvW borderlands, too?

I'm not really at a point where I'm interested in raiding in GW2 but popping in for some casual PvP sounds fun. I think I lost all motivation to play for a while when it started looking like the whole new way of getting legendary precursors was just as grindy, just in a different way, so doing something not PvE is probably good for me.

I quit for about 4 months and just came back for pvp. I've been having a lot of fun with it.

Coming back after a long hiatus... just unlocked all the skills for chronomancer.

The builds on metabattle are categorized into raid or pvp. For now I plan on just continuing with the story and HoT map exploration. I'm looking for a good open-world chrono build that will get me used to the profession and will serve as a stepping stone towards one of the raid builds. Any advice?
