Question about GW1.

Tried GW2 definitely playing it. Now I want all the rewards from Hall of Monuments.

Should I have to buy all campaigns + EOTN? If so, is there somewhere cheaper to get the game, its like $50 for everything. It hurtsssssssss a lil.

I played Mesmer. Needs fixing, like a lot. But good thing is I can't die unless its a ranger or dagger thief. Thieves kill me so fast I don't have time to generate clones.

But if I don't meet these annoying dagger ones. I can kill them 1v1, just takes very long.

Sidenote: Whats a good class to start in GW1? and which campaign first? I keep reading different things. Ask me to create Ritualist (Factions), but one ask me to start in Nightfall first for heroes or Prophecies because its easiest?

Nightfall or Factions. Prophecies is the most annoying to do. Go back there when you've gotten capped gear.
Use one of those clone traits, it stops dagger thieves quite well.
*
All clones die with just auto swing 1.

Yes but those swings are usually spike starters meaning you've effectively wasted their poisons, initiative and spike starter. Look at my earlier utilities. It relies heavily on basilisk venom and skale venom. Using a clone means that if I start with dancing daggers, the bounces are wasted on your clones, thus wasting my venom count.

You get twoshotted because they're stacking so much vulnerability on you it makes your already frail defences worse. Waste their poisons and it changes slightly in your favour.
*
The problem is them opening on me / surprise attack. Usually too late to react. And if i'm caught without my invis cooldown up, I'm usually dead.

Hold that long means other two points the enemy lost (40 points~), waste of their time trying to gank 1 person (only 10 points per kill), and wasting their cooldowns means the guardian's allies could just swoop in and beat everyone like that. Truly the epitome of guarding lol.
*
1v5 is easy for mesmer. I'm usually surprised if I hold 2 person for a few minutes, then 3 more come, then you know its time to book it and they chase you until they can't. While my team 3 cap the nodes.

Pugs are dumb like that. Tons of time, I can win the game double capping sides while everyone fights in the middle.

aye, but them clones, do they hurt much? or just annoying? or depend if versus heavy, medium, light armor?

sometimes i downed the real mesmer liao the clones still shooting at me. sweat.gif
*
Clones die in 1 swing. Dogs can tell which one is a clone. If you're running away, you prolly aren't a clone lol.

The ones that hurt are the phantasm (double pistol one especially), the transparent pink ones, with different name. Not the player name.

Sidenote again: GW1 is ugh. How do I make it less boring sad.gif No idea how to get to 30 HoM if its so hard to get thru.

There's no point in capping 30/50 unless you really want the cosmetics. Do the stories and drop me a PM on the forums if you want to do Sorrow's Furnace. We can probably do it together with the Moa Chick scavanger hunt to get points on the Unique Mini and statue point.
*
But I DO want the cosmetics. I bought specifically for it.

I started a Ritualist/Ranger as I've read Ritualist for easy mode farming and Ranger secondary for charm animal.

How many henchman should I bring?
Max it? Because I keep dying...

Also there seems to be a warping issue... maybe super sensitive to the ping?

my rifle warrior 75% critical ppl for 1k damage also wor. can't remember if they medium or light armor though.

You have 75% crit rate? My mesmer had like 16...

I think a few classes need to be reined in (I read balancing hasn't been done).
- Thief
- Warrior
- Ranger

At this point, you just mash button, swap weapon, mash button and win. Most of the time don't even need to swap weapon. those 8k crit 9k crit from not doing anything extra.

If mesmer want 9k crit, we have to make 3 clones, then they have to run to you and shatter on you. You can nullify it by just auto swing. or just run away from it. All 3 have hit you and have to crit to hit that high damage. Other than that, all our other buttons hit like wet noodle.

I always also seems to be perma slowed by cripple, I would run away and after 10 seconds outta combat and I'm still walking super slow cos of that cripple.

9k crit at the cost of having 10k health. This means you can oneshot but get oneshotted. Not as easy as you think.

9k is actualized damage (and is the top of the range, highly unlikely to be scored successively). Theoretical damage goes up to 25k on test dummies.
*
You can only get one shotted by certain classes, definitely not all. I'm not sure how comfortable ANET with this, because I imagine people will cry nerf (prolly already crying nerf on the official forums). Not fun being 1-2 shotted.

with gun mastery which reduces rifle skills recharge by 20%, rifle skill aimed shot which cripples recharge is 10 seconds, so i guess it would be 8 seconds then.

aim shot cripples target for 5 seconds, so wait another 3 seconds can do aimed shot again to cripple for 5 seconds lagi.

with this traits, armor rune, amulet, the base critical chance is 61% as shown in hero panel, 9% from heightened focus trait at stage 3 of adrenaline, thus becoming 70% then +5% from weapon so i guess it is 75% lor.

downside is, me warrior health only got 18.9k. once i started taking hits, i will attempt to withdraw lulz. if they gang bang me i sure dai one. biggrin.gif

eh where to find test dummies? O_O
*
Remember, cripple/some conditions stacks with duration, it doesn't replace with the latest cripple duration.

You keep stacking and it gets longer and longer and longer.

Seems like warrior is easier to play.
Spam few button and u get the job done.. unlike ele, have to keep changing F1-F4 to get proper spell to counter other classes..

Warrior at most, just swap weapon
*
Yea I wanted to do mesmer or ele (leaning towards mesmer cos I love me some pretty butterfly effects, huge psylocke fan), then I tried ele in WvW and it sealed the deal.

Ele you really have to be familiar and comfortable with all your buttons and pick the right one to use. I'm kinda the panicky kind so if I switch wrong attunement, I'm f***ed.

Thief. I saw a ton of posts this weekend about the Thief being OP (overpowered) and imba (imbalanced). The Thief can be very strong in some 1on1 matchups, and is weak in others. The Thief is also great in some team compositions, and very weak in others. We’ll keep an eye on Thief balance, but overall they are pretty balanced in the grand scope of things. There are many great Thieves in the office who still run from other classes if they’re well played. Once you learn how the Thief works, you learn how to counter them. As your knowledge base a community matures, you’ll learn how to deal with the Thief as well. Keep in mind you guys only played for a few days, you’ll get better every time you play it, and your view on what’s balanced/imbalanced may change in time.
Thiefs are balanced >.<

Need to learn how to spam dodge as soon as I see one and hope they blow all their initiative trying to kill me.

well WvWvW does feel like a very huge tf2 server with hundreds of players in it.
to me i think WvWvW requires numbers. which ever side has bigger numbers will win the battles.

i think i will only play WvWvW in launch when the fps is fixed i.e. can get 60 fps with hundreds of players and spells effects on the screen.

for the following beta weekends events i will play competitive pvp to try out what builds works for me.
*
Not necessary. Small groups can organized faster and do hit and run on keeps that are undefended. If defended, zergs will die to those f***ing arrow carts anyway. Big numbers don't help.

Haven't unlock weapons and traits? o.O means you didn't pve at all. I hit 21 on my mesmer. with 11 points to play with. But you level VERYYY fast if you follow the zerg and cap stuff. After level 12 or so, I just joined WvW primetime oceanic (meaning americans sleeping and we cap the whole map) and hit 18-19 in 1 day.
