Welcome!

So my ELE is LVL75 now and soon it will be max (i expect tomorrow) and I have saved my hero point for elite specs (only have HoT and PoF) So I want to know which is less complicated Tempest or weaver

What is the best elite specs for ELE ( doesn't matter if it is complex) Mostly for PVE

Hey folks, I saw that alot of people recommend doing the achievements for Aurora + Vision along the way when doing the "Return to" achievements for the legy amulet.

I was wondering if there is any "all in one"-Guide for those 3 since it is recommended. I want to avoid doing stuff multiple times because I forgot to check smth or switch between 2-3 guides at a time.

Thanks in advance!

So I just finished the Crystalline Memories boss fight in the POF story and omg! It took me like 30+ minutes to beat that thing. All I kept hoping for was the server didn't crash. Is that fight supposed to take that long or was it bugged or is my build just crap?

To preface I only have HoT and PoF. So for example most chrono build require dagger and spear, if I want to play Chrono nowadays can I replace those weapons with the options available to me and won't get booted from parties or do I HAVE to use those specific weapons? I'm struggling to find builds and website that can filter expansions

Hey guys, I just level Thief recently . Can you guys share various types of thief builds/elite specs here, might want to try various play styles. Also, is there a specific build for AoEs? I find Thief mainly focuses on single target, which makes it a bit harder to deal with mobs. Thanks!

Hello Reddit!

I know you've liked the two quizzes I've done before, so I am back with another one.

Link: Link to Google Forms

I tried to make it so that every question has a clear answer. There are normal mode questions that cover more fundamental aspects (but not all of them are easy) and then there are challenge mode questions that hopefully have some interesting answers ;)

Feel free to look up answers, cheating is allowed, I don't really mind, as long as you are having fun.

That's already it. Let me know if you have any feedback, and I wish you happy holidays :)

We can get potions and kegs of karma, what does it taste like?

How do we get karma from birthday cards and children's drawings? Is the commander eating them?

Greetings. I have been playing GW2 for a while now and collected some event items from this holiday event and some other event i dont remember what its called. I also have 1 lvl 80 character and 1 lvl 40 character. I just own the pof and hot expansions and wondering if i can transfer the steam progress to Anet and then buy the expansions or if I should just restart.

Since Steam sales is where, I am thinking of buying the DLCs in this game. Is there a difference between Arena Net and Steam?

What should I be buying?
Guild Wars 2: Secrets of the Obscure - Standard $19.99

Elder Dragon Saga—Collection: Standard $49.99

Looks like the same price on Steam?

I ran into this player that appears to have quickness inside the JP. I assume it is an exploit?

So I myself played til EoD, managed to finish the story but didn’t do much collection/achievement. Recently, my partner has been expressing interest on mmorpg, since im been off for so long and probably would want to start a new character , I just wonder if the experience for new players would hold up?

Thank you!

Hey!

I want to create a Charr with two Axes which are pretty large and I'm looking for some easy items to obtain - so basically items from the Trading Post or some other fast and easy axes to obtain.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

So after many years of character switching I’ve finally decided on what class/classes I’ll be focusing on. My question now is about the story.

How long would it take for me to complete the entire story from LWS1 up to the current JW patch. During my time playing I’ve only ever completed the main story, HOT & EoD.

I’ve also started to get into build crafting so would love to get some opinions on this build. [&DQILHQQpEjlwAHAA1xIAAKkAAACvAK8AwhKcAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACBQAJAQA=] The main issue I find is that my adrenaline generation is very low compared to the QDPS build I run, though I can get 100% uptime on multi target

I ran the snow man group dungeon thing last night and had a hard time seeing any of the visual clues the boss gave to know when to dodge over everyone’s skill and spell effects. Are there any ways to remove or minimize seeing effects that are not mine or targeting myself?

In the toypocalypse event, I have a hard time targeting toys that have gotten too close to defenses. Is there a way to target the nearest mob?

What's your favorite achievement weapon skin that is not a legendary? Mine is Eternal Blade because of GW1 :)

What is the meta comp currently? What are the most important thing to look out for when building a comp for WvW currently?

Hey there o/

We are CRS guild which recently shared an Elementalist stack on Temple of Febe CM.

One last Challenge in the game that was yet to be done on Temple of Febe strike was Legendary Challenge Mode combined with Embodiment of Sins Title. The difference compared to a regular LCM kill is that we have to handle two additional empowered mechanics in the second half of the fight:

• Empowered Regret (Triple Greens)
• Empowered Gluttony (Orbs)

If you played Cerus in the early days or watched World's First race, you are probably familiar with the Triple Greens puzzle, which repeatedly wiped many groups. In the (normal) Challenge Mode, the mechanic can be cheesed by using Rebound on two Tempests, which lets you skip solving the majority of Greens. In the LCM, this does not work.

In the case of Empowered Gluttony, we have to deal with much more orbs flying to the boss. It's essential we collect them all because they give Barrier and extra stacks to the boss, increasing his damage to us, which is already very hard to survive in the final phase. The tradeoff is that each orb you collect gives you a permanent debuff, which damages you for 350 flat damage per collected orb. Many players can end up with 8-9 stacks (3k extra Healing pressure each second), which can get out of hand quickly. This mechanic is more straightforward on CM because the stacks are not permanent.
On top of those, Cerus gains buffs quicker in the final phase, Malices and the Boss have much more HP compared to CM mode. All these factors combined made it seem to many that this kind of kill is impossible.

How did we go about it?

Triple Greens were just a matter of practice but Empowered Gluttony was a big struggle to survive at 10% with a standard EoS composition (Scourge + Chrono + Tempest healers). However, there is a trick that works for both CM and LCM. Usually, three players need to collect the Orb for it to disappear. If two orbs are collected rapidly, the second one is deleted. We decided to use two Heal Chronomancers with Blink to make it easier to execute. It helped our DPS players to end up with 2-6 stacks at 10% phase rather than 8-9.

On top of that, nearly all of our teammates have experienced hundreds of CM/LCM kills, and our members hold the vast majority (if not all) of ToF records both in kill time and personal DPS. This was vital to consistent runs and phasing the boss early to skip extra Gluttony collection phases. The progression took us 5 hours 53 minutes in 54 pulls, not including the downtime, strategizing, etc. We couldn't have made it without the help of many fantastic backups: Alex, Bear, BlastFM, Julixx, REMagic, and Tequila.

We would also like to give a shout-out to the NA team, who are also progressing in this challenge and are very close to the kill.

Let's hope Wing 8 brings such interesting challenges as well!

I started to play at release but left the game after getting at max level, I used to enjoy a lot WvW. I want to return but I want to concentrate on PvP and WvW, is it worth it? I don’t have much free time so I’m not interested in the PVE endgame content. Can you play only PvP and WvW and be effective without doing PVE endgame content?

Hi everyone, I've returned to guild wars 2 after a long time and I'm looking for some YouTubers who play gw2. It could be any content, preferably long form. So, who are your favourite content creators?

I have this very annoying “Special price” banner right where the TacO button is. Does anyone know how to move either of these? Alternatively, is there a default key bind for opening the TacO settings so I can change what it’s displaying?

Yesterday i just got the berseker specialization , it seemed fine but when i fightened more enemies i feel like i lack defense, i have a full exotic armor , a few pieces from it are "berseker" my weapons are exotic "bersekers" my amulet trinket and rings are not that good theyre exotic with random stats pretty much. Someone told me i should aim for "marauder" armor since it gives defense but i dont know what to do, any tips to improve my build? I wanna add i am a new player and i just got my first elite spec (berseker) , im loving it, it deals great dmg but its hard since i feel more squishy now , before i had the healing signet and the healing passive skill ,i was able to tank more , now it just seems hard to stay in the frontline. Help pls

My friend likes the game, but he's rather upset axes only come as 1h weapons.
