yeah you can't just find out what song is playing AFAIK, short of just going to their soundcloud and playing all the songs to find out. however, they're listed here by patch, which helps narrow it down a lot: https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Soundtrack

if you're playing with a good group, anyone that throws out a plethora of boons while doing damage is good support, more or less OTOH, if you're playing with a bad group, you can probably carry their asses over the finish line one-handed with any heal build of druid/firebrand/mechanist/tempest variety i used to have issues pugging fractals, then i started playing minstrel equipped tank+heal tempest and suddenly it was all a giant cakewalk lmao

tarbrush posted:You need elonian leather for a bunch of legendary weapons, but not damask likewise, many, but not all weapons salvage into wood, while almost every weapon and armor piece can salvage into metal and finally, you need 4 leather sections to make a square, while cloth only needs 3 this makes cloth and metal more abundant than wood or leather right out the gate. leather is especially rare because not only does it drop less and is needed for legendaries, almost every single piece of ascended armor needs some leather. most non-medium varieties don't need much, but they do need some oddly enough, cloth or damask are needed for every single piece of armor in the game, and for some time after the ascended variety of gear released, silk in particular was quite a bit more expensive than leather, but i guess eventually massive supply just won over the demand?

when catalyst released i tried to like it, but after several rounds of fixes, nerfs, and buffs it's still just bad and i'll keep mainlining weaver for melee dps and tempest for long range and heals. at first i thought it's just getting used to it like weaver was, but eventually i just gave up because it never got good lol the whole spec feels bad and hammer is even worse, what kind of loving maniac decided i need to f1-f4 and push 3 every time to be optimal lmao. i got dagger catalyst to kinda work alright for me, but at that point why not just be a sword weaver which flows better, does same ballpark dps, and cannot die as long as you keep pushing buttons maybe one day anet will release another good elementalist specialization, but catalyst ain't it IMO gandlethorpe posted:I dunno, I've never had a problem with the core mechanics so much as all the chaff in their traits/skills. No need to rebuild from the ground up when it never felt complete in the first place with so much filler. In 10 years, ele has never gotten the kind of trait overhaul that's been seen in other professions, especially mesmers and engies. this too

the best and only actually good "red mastery" (aka base game) reward you can get is the autoloot, which you get from the advanced logistics point of pact commander mastery. it takes a while to unlock but it's more than worth it. fractal attunement mastery is alright if you're gonna run fractals a lot (fractals are short 5 man dungeons), but also completely optional so get autoloot first since it makes the entire game more enjoyable to play legendary crafting mastery is a waste of time so only ever do that one if you're ever finished with the other two now the tricky part: you can only level red masteries in base game zones. as soon as you hit an expansion area, you'll get masteries/exp for that specific expansion which only level up there some masteries take a long while to "level up", and you need to have mastery points banked up to actually claim them once the xp is filled out, but the points are generally a non-issue since you get so many just doing random things and exploring maps e: the red masteries are very boring affairs. you get more interesting poo poo like gliding and mounts in the expansions e2: also, you only need agony resistance for high level fractals, it's a thing you slot into ascended items and you definitely don't have to worry about that yet Truga fucked around with this message at 15:41 on Dec 10, 2022 |

[fast] is a goddamn treasure because the gw2 folklore kept saying you should be grinding loving RIBA in silverwastes 24/7 to make cash at a reasonable pace but then these people did actual benchmarks and it turns out the best/most fun content in the game is often also the most profitable, it's just not as consistent because the meta chains can take time

i'm biased because elementalist is literally the only class in the game that can hold my interest for more than a week, but also elementalist is the runaway best class by far  you'll also hate anet though because they'll make you work really hard to do anything at all with it

if you do wvw, the armistice bastion is amazing because you can see the maps and use faction chat in it, and all the wvw vendors are there mistlock is obviously the best if you do fractals for the easy portal and fractal vendors. always nice when you teleport there, do some fractals, and then return to exactly where you were in the overworld later if you don't care about either of those, i think royal terrace is the smallest of the bunch, which means everything is really clumped together for easy access that said, mistlock sanctuary has the beach ball minigame, and a bonus skill that lets you jump to all the npcs real quick

pointlessone posted:Funny thing is, I want at least one spec of Ele that does just that. All in, balls to the wall commitment to 1 to 2 elements (chosen through the trait lines) where all the utilities and weapon skills drive that single/duo mindedness - maybe even a transformation into an elemental avatar for proper skill usage much like Weave Self's design idea. Full removal of the unselected elements. that's just staff power build, isn't it? camp fire, spam 2 and 5 on cooldown between autoattacks lol

the trick to clearing raids in public groups is really simple: just be able to clear solo, then any extra players are just bonus dps that makes it go faster e: realtalk since you have the sthola av, ff14 makes you do content that's about as hard as the harder strikes/easier raids and people queue for roulettes constantly anyway. sometimes you wipe 5 times or whatever but mostly it's smooth Truga fucked around with this message at 14:16 on May 14, 2023 |

i built a bifrost before armor/rings etc existed and i'm kinda sad because i'd rather have those, since builds generally depend on weapon types but armor is global and staff dps has been garbage on ele basically ever since so i only ever use it for heal tempest lmao

as someone who did a lot of casual and high end raiding in ff14, gw2 somehow manages to miss both marks. they're fun dungeons, but they're not something i'd want to do 10+ times or however many is needed for the legendary poo poo, i'd rather spend more time in drizzlewood or whatever. open world legendary is good news. hopefully the skin doesn't suck otoh the primary reason i have for wanting it is because i'm running low on skin change charges so i guess it's not that important lol

i liked p. much all the stories in the game post base-game (base game is good at the start but then falls off a cliff imo though i guess even that depends on which race/origin you pick), but i wasn't in a rush and playing all of it in a full party of friends  still find ff14 way better story wise but gw2's is completely serviceable

really wish mmos in general, but gw2 in particular took a hint from ff14's book here and just had universal "this skill hits with 100 potency and 1s recast time, that skill hits with 250 potency and 2 bleeds with 3s cast time 10s cooldown" descriptions, where potency is then just multiplied by your stats to get the final numbers it's already how the game works anyway, but coefficients (potency) are hidden unless you check the wiki, for some reason?? then, no matter what build you have the tooltips are very clearly readable, instead of having to compare 5432 damage autoattack with 16210 damage 3s cast skill or whatever, and afaik tooltip numbers are sometimes inaccurate for some reason too so you can't even rely on that universally the numbers on tooltips constantly changing when you swap around traits and boons or gear and poo poo ends up being so annoying in the long run, too, because their relationship doesn't change since the coefficients and recast speeds are just dps multipliers it'd make crunching the approximate numbers in ones head so much easier when trying to build a character, so i really don't understand why gw2 doesn't do it like that when building a character is a big part of the sales pitch setting up a condi build already does work like that. "this skill gives 2 bleeds, that skill gives 3 bleeds" etc, so i have no idea why power setups have to be stupid with hidden and/or unreadable numbers and poo poo

the grind for skyscale is actually a non-issue with return to LWS4, since the biggest bottleneck is 250 of each map currency and wouldn't you know, those achievements give you 250 of each map currency unless you never want to do lws4 again in which case
