Why everyone says thief is hard? I did all fractals except CM just fine with daredevil and I'm pretty terrible (I only play LI). I was usually top 1~3 DPS even with the health leech spec that lets me recover my health pretty fast.

Also is any of the other thief specs more beefy?

then skip the first part. just go in, join the tag if there is one and be done with it for the day whenever you want. if there is no tag, then just run around capturing sentry points and camps and hope people turn up in a group eventually.

ok so here's the deal. i have hot, pof, ibs, and eod. i am currently playing an ele, and am putting my first elite spec into catalyst because i think it might be fun.
however, my choice of weapons/swap is boring. i have staff and d/d. staff is just slow and boring, everything runs out of my big circles and then i'm left by myself looking and feeling retarded.
is there a good weapon combo that can murderize everything? i need to replace staff, d/d seems like dinky damage. i've only got 30gold to my name and i need to invest in long-term murderization.

It will be another hub city based, instanced mission coop game, like GW1 or modern coop games. Majority of "maps" will be significantly smaller. 10-20 people max Like a very dynamic huge dungeon. Will have a public auto-filled and private instance to play on. Meta event for 40+ people will exclusively be a scheduled convergence style thing. There will be 1 main big map to explore at most, that connects everything else, sued mostly for story and jumping puzzles. You'll need to deliberately ask player to join in your instance to up to 5 coop in it, solo by default. Fractals and strike missions will be another main focus.
Only humans playable, because they don't want to bother with weird skeletons, animations and armors.
PvP will be promised to release later, will get delayed many times and come out an afterthought anyway. No wvw at all.
Every aspect will be streamlined that there will be no need to talk to others, read guides or wiki, watch much youtube etc.
It won't feel like MMO, random coop aspect will be minimized, game will be solved super fast.
They'll never make complex classes like elementalist, 90% of them would be reaper tier, to minimize the need for meta and optimizing.
Ground mount and flying mount. No underwater and other gimmicks

Any leaks or hints as to what the final legendary weapon will be in VoE's final quarterly update?

What I assume:

>Inquest heavy story updates = Inquest themed legendary weapon = red asura tech
>Staff/spear were a combo, so the last legendary "weapon" will be a combo as well of two weapons similar in appearance (longbow and shortbow, for example)
>VoE's unusual coin rewards/renown heart rewards have been staff skins from other expansions but converted into spears
>People have been asking for an Aurene legendary spear
>Inquest are in charge of the Crucible of Eternity (Inquest dungeon where they are experimenting with all elder dragon energies)
>Eternity
>Expansion with Inquest is called Visions of Eternity

What could it be?

If they do greatsword, they could pair it with a regular sword as well. VoE could be the expansion where legendaries are crafted in pairs... red/black might not be so bad depending on what kind of Inquest tech it is. It'd be better than having another legendary spear

I'm out of the loop on this one but is there a mod out there that shows you your "feathers" on galeshot more easily on the screen?
I try to count them as I do my rotation but sometimes for whatever reason, I don't get a feather on an ability that should give me one. Which throws off my entire rotation when suddenly I get a "hawkeye" off the rotation and I cancel it by mistake and lose the feathers and the burst from it.

Mech, the easiest thing for open world, I easily do 25k condiDPS in open world with no kits, great utilities, and a super easy to use weapon.
The power DPS version is easier to play too, but it has less damage, you can get range with the rifle too.
In fractals, you can swap over to AlacDPS with no change to weapons and healDPS with a short bow or mace/shield if you don't have weapon mastery.
Hell, mech is useful in Raids too with Kiting.

Definitely for PvP and WvW. For PvE there are some instances where you'll need range to be effective unfortunately. It's extra sucky given the lack of variety for range in a lot of specs

>>551931927
nice ill fit right in then
>>
>>551932460
to deal with the playerbase being mostly shit we've come up with a variety of "low intensity" builds that let you turn your brain off and do 30k dps with only one or two buttons. Every profession has builds like this now, I would highly recommend looking in to them unless you want to torture yourself.

>>551933015
ironically that playstyle got nerfed for every other element except fire which is still really good so fire wizard can still just camp fire poke the fox occasionally and do really good damage

Has anyone done the lws1 cheevo for the gizmo that lets you go back to OG lions arch? Is it ever populated with other players or is it basically a private instance? Being only obtainable through an achievement makes me wonder if anyone even bothers getting it lol. I do actually kind of like the idea of a private lions arch doebeit.

why do people obsess over cookie cutter builds so much in OPEN WORLD

it's trivial on purpose, and part of what makes gw/gw2 fun is the self imposed challenges in the face of stuff that is designed to be somewhat simple to do

if you are remotely competent you can run any full damage raid build in open world and do well but /gw2g/ has a lot of shitters who do this and don't know how to dodge or not stand in red circles so they run a full dps build in open world and assume the class they're playing is shit when in reality they are.

I like the cookie cutter benchmark builds as a starting point. gives me something to measure my changes against if I'm trying to play something comfy without being dead weight.

it's literally just normalfags. they have completely flooded the internet over the last ten years and shifted every aspect of gaming and internet culture to be the normalfag version

you are correct that in guild wars it is common practice to theorycraft and make the game harder on purpose through self limitation, but that is because guild wars has an audience of autists and boomer turbonerds who care mostly about playing for personal enjoyment and not to meet the expectations of others. the game is far more friendly to single player gameplay which helps here as well, but the culture in the community is the biggest aspect

for normalfags, it isn't about enjoyment but rather fitting in to an ephemeral concept of "group" and in gw2's case, being the newer (newer=better for normalfags) one with far more players and many more normalfags, the culture is to conform to what is expected, and only excel in ways that are pre determined to be acceptable. it's why especially in pvp if you play something off meta but do well people will shit talk you harder than if you play a common/meta build from a guide poorly, which actually tends to draw no attention whatsoever

it's about is conforming to expectations of performance which is infinentally more important to normalfags than autists, if you are truly unable to understand why most players would rather play this way it is because you are genuinely incapable of understand how the brain of normalfags work
>>
>>551938289
pissing off normalfags is funi. if they can't handle offmeta shit then they are worse shitters than bad metafags

Lmao retard. It's quite literally the opposite.
First of all, normalfags aren't even playing MMOs, they're playing Arc Raiders, GTA, and NBA 2K. Or even not playing video games at all.
And then, even the few normalfags who do somehow make it onto an MMO, they're certainly not the ones consulting builds guides, looking at tier lists, and autistically comparing DPS benchmarks to see what builds are ""meta"". You really think they have the patience and mental capacity for that?
Autists do that. Autists care about minmaxxing and video game metas. Normalfags just hop on and play whatever they think feels or looks cool and spam buttons.

That's exactly why they use meta builds. Someone already made a build and rotation for them and they will use it because they are too retarded and incompetent to learn the game.

Has anyone actually seen an antiquary? What a disappointment of an elite spec from every possible angle.

I report every cutsey ebin class roleplay xDD shitter I see laying in the dirt to leech off events and if it was up to me anyone who can't do AT LEAST 15k DPS (which is generous) should be forced to play mechanist so at least the robot fucking does something while they look at shit on their phone.
>waaaah stop being an elitist you are gatekeeping
I want the gate to keep these people out, world of warcraft and xiv were made for them already I do not want them infesting my game too. I have failed too many meta events and even simple shit like escorts because people would rather play incoherent picking whatever looks cool garbage builds instead of actually playing the fucking game. If you do not want to pull your own weight get the fuck out you are not wanted here.

you can play a decent build that you made yourself and be good at the game and fit a character fantasy all at the same time. only a trve noob would find any of those things mutually exclusive...

my "character" was already an ex-inquest charlatan so antiquary has been a great & thematic alternative the core build i was using before. i started with a snowcrows antiquary build and shuffled it around to fit my golemancer playstyle. i know people complain about learning all of the new abilities but i found that because they were all color coded it was easier to just associate color with thing in my mind, so green=guitar and blue = turret etc. then it wasnt to difficult to get a hang of. shortbow and p/d condi toughness gear. i solo most champions and have a great time doing it. you can too

I roleplay a Flame Legion Shaman with pure fire Evoker rocking full Celestial shitter gear, and yesterday I managed to outtank both a 671 mastery Ritualist and a Virtuoso against a Tier 3 Rift to the point where I had to actually revive the Ritualist myself after she somehow died. While I think making poor build choices will make you get shit on pretty badly, but at the end of the day it's just up to the player to dodge out of evil death circles no matter the quality of your setup.

Anet should have just admitted they were wrong and given thief an assassin elite.
>>
>>551954593
Core Thief is already Assassin and they already gave them Double Assassin anyway with Deadeye and then spun the magical side of Assassin off into its own spec with Specter, and then the last little bits of Assassin that weren't already part of Thief got rolled into their Spear moveset. There's literally no more Assassin to give them.

i refuse to believe this got through any check, ANY
>>
>>551956319
The best method is staying on top of getting the 7 a week from the Black Citadel for 1 obsidian shart each. Lion's Arch 7/week for 1 mystic forge stone isn't bad. After that probably HoT vendors in each map still, though I can't be certain I don't care enough to look up the exact values of shit.
https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/User:Ciddorulez/Provisioner_Token
Out of date but those items are probably still decent for provisioner tokens.
>>
>>551956319
The best way to do it is to look at the Faction Provisioner wiki page, see which Krait weapons are cheapest in each category (skip the ones where none of the weapons are cheap), then buy 7 of each of them per week to trade in (and also do the same for Reclaimed Metal Plates, Chak Eggs, Auric Ingots if you have a bunch of any of them). There's also an NPC that lets you trade 7 per week for Obsidian shards in the Black Citadel.

You get like 70+ a week for maybe 5g or so.

Hello quick question, do the expansion packs give you extra character slots or do you have to buy them?
>>
>>551967279
No, only the deluxe and ultimate editions do but it's actually solid value on JW and VoE because they come with a full set of infinite gathering tools (+ glyph selection containers) too.
>>
>>551967507
And not to be a shill but at that point consider the ultimate edition for one of those because for $25 more than deluxe you get $50 worth of gems. Or another way to look at it is +$50 over base expansion price for $50 of gems + gathering tools (like 2700 gems) and a character slot (800 gems). As long as you think you'd probably get gems, character slot, and gathering tools at some point anyway it's really good value. You can get a lot of nice quality of life stuff etc from gem store sales with 4000 gems.
>>
>>551968338
Eh sounds pricey, can I buy the elder dragon pack first, try it out and upgrade it later?

I bought the base game years ago and got curious about gw2 again.
>>
>>551969480
>upgrade it later?
yeah, you can actually convert gold to gems to buy the upgrade later without spending real money if you are a based enough gamer
>>
>>551969480
Just FYI you can upgrade to deluxe, but not to ultimate.
But if you want to buy anything, you should buy the Elder Dragon Saga Complete Edition first when it's on sale for $50.
>>
>>551969480
Yeah like anon said if you buy *anything* get the complete dragon saga for $50 on sale. Or if there's no sale just grab one of the newer 3 expansions since the difference is only like $5 sale vs non-sale.
You CAN convert gold to gems and get the deluxe upgrades, character slots, and all that stuff by just grinding in game but as a new player you're going to want to put gold towards a bunch of different things to grow your account and whatnot. Your gold income is even going to be lower than other people until you get masteries and shit sorted, have enough bag and space to not just sell materials, etc. I don't think it's a good suggestion for new players to skip ahead all the way to like LW4 Dragonfall and treat the game like it's some autistic grind simulator like Path of Exile or some shit before they even start playing the game the way they want. If you play the stories and do them in order it'd take you like 2 months to get from the core game to LW4. And all the while you'll be making very little gold.

How's the grind for open world legendary armor compared to WvW? I have an insane amount of Rift Essense from Convergences, seems like the globs and exotic luck are the only difficult part besides maybe the precursors. Unrelated video of Charr dancing since the thread is omega dead and it's the one way I know how to bring it back
>>
>>551991727
You'll need a ton of ecto. Then you'll need to do each SotO meta-event like 30 times and light like 50 lanterns in each map (instead of repeat map comp) like 30 times. It's really not that bad though in my opinion.

Happy holidays anons, soon to be a new year and new link. Can't wait for the latter at least.

It's been rough during the christmas season with lackluster playercounts on my side at least. The days are horrible, the nights are worse. It has become the kind of tired that sleep wont fix, thankfully already done with the new set of wvw weeklies and rotated diamond track a few times so can easily peace out and go back to teaching plebs fractals or something

Kinda wish they kept some more early personal story characters around, it would be funny to have someone like Petra get involved with all the crazy world-ending events after beating up bandits with low-level Commander. I guess there's Faren but that's only if you pick the human noble story, and even he disappears after PoF.
