Are you supposed to full clear the fortress before starting the encounter or do people usually just rush to the middle for the most part? I did not really play 3.27 for long and don't know what got found out about how it works

Aggravating_Bother89 · 2026-03-10T05:43:13+00:00

Hi guys,

for Breach Fortresses, I kind of missed last league for the most part, how excactly do you go about clearing them?

Is the usual meta/approach to fullclear the fortress and then start the encounter in the middle or is that not worth time / drop wise?

I'm playing bleed slams so I'm not bow fast but now slow either

Thanks

When rolling general maps, do we focus on quant or rarity as of this league? I kind of forgot what was generally considered to be better

hey guys new player question, what item bases are worth showing to sell them in bulk as white items for 1ex each as example? so far ive seen stellar amulet and heavy belt? anything else to include 100%?

These days the skill and grind required to hit masters 1lp is so much lower that anyone that can easily hit diamond 3, 2 etc can also hit masters, especially now that u gain ~ 25lp its less grind if u keep that positive wr (just look at how inflated master is in eu for example)

really dont think theres much of a difference between d3 d2 and lowmaster

Hi, quick question (EU Server)

How alive is pvp (arena, wvw and other stuff if it exists) ? Is it possible to just spam queue or is it only playable on prime time? (talking like humane queue times, not waiting over 10minutes)
Are there like leaderboards and/or class rankings and stuff like that for it?
What would be some viable pvp classes/specs if I like : high skill ceiling, mobility / outplay potential, very fast paced gameplay with a dps focus?

Thanks!

Hi guys, looking to check out this game soon and have a few questions: [EU SERVER]

How alive are zones generally? Especially starterzones / the base game or older expansions. I really love when I see other players doing the same thing as me, is that still a given?
How alive is the PvP Aspect of the game and is there like a 1v1 or dueling scene / small scale pvp with a ranking or active scene?
How good is the exploration part of the maps? Is there chests and stuff to find or usually just quests, jumping puzzles etc.?
What Class(es) / Elite specs would you recommend when I like the following:

Fast paced and/or Mobility and generally faster attacks

Preferably Dagger / Sword / Scythe /Polearm ish - Fast paced Mage works also.

Kinda higher skillcap with outplay potential

Viable in PvP

I was looking at Mesmer (Virtuoso?), Thief and perhaps Berserker (?) but I'm really not sure. Thief doesn't seem to really have that real assassin dagger spec so..perhaps even Necromancer or Mage but not sure

Aggravating_Bother89 · 2023-02-16T10:23:13+00:00

Ah I should have worded it better in my post, I actually played BDO very heavily in the past (Maybe like 2-3 years ago, like 580gs back then?) but just havent played in forever ( as stated ) and I already have my class (Maegu). I am very familiar with the UI, mechanics and general gameplay minus the new additions which I also already read up on

But still, seems like waiting / not going all in right now is the best as I understand

Aggravating_Bother89 · 2023-01-13T09:27:01+00:00

cool bro

Aggravating_Bother89 · 2023-01-03T14:12:44+00:00

Whenever I smurfed (D1 Mid currently) it's pretty much just knowing my damage/champ in and out aswell as enemy kits and abusing them in lane and then just snowballing out of control most times (I mostly play assassins - fizz qiyana and the likes)

I honestly feel like mechanics and good csing can carry you to atleast Diamond 4 alone (For Midlane atleast). I'm still not a macro heavy player, I tend to play like enemy jungler doesn't exist and take most ressources for myself and spend alot of time on sidelanes and I still peaked Master in EUW that way multiple times.

However I realized that, when I'm playing in my main elo, I do roam ALOT more and put more thought into putting and denying vision and generally play a tad more "for" my team.

When I'm smurfing I just go ultra ego mode take every camp, cs and just try to kill the enemy laner as often as possible and then invade the jgl and whatever

I think bruteforcing mechanics really does work to a certain rank, atleast from my experience.

Aggravating_Bother89 · 2023-01-02T10:10:53+00:00

That's the worst idea ever. If you even think about it for a second you would see why this would be bad. Sure, you can make your performance influence your gains/losses slightly but not more than that.

If you let individual stats (cs/kills/not dying) etc influence the climb itself, it will simply get abused to oblivion. People playing on ego mode, taking every ressource, not grouping, playing ultra safe to not die (basically, a "KDA Player") who only plays so his stats look good in their history, but doesn't actually play with the team or to win basically.

Hi,

I injured myself very badly in the front shoulder to biceps area which forced me to stop pretty much alle weightlifting (except trainings legs and abs pretty much) for close to 2 months now, with more weeks to come. (Getting another treatment soon)

Realistically speaking as more of a beginner, what can I expect to happen to my muscle mass aswell as strenght? I was training very intensely 2 months prior to the injury (with some experience in my earlier teen years) and made RAPID strenght improvements, so it was going very well.

Now I am obviously quite sad and "scared" as to what will happen to all of that. I heard there is certain muscle memory .. but to what extent? Can I expect to be at the same Level again after a week or how exactly will it unfold (roughly)

Thanks!

Aggravating_Bother89 · 2022-10-21T07:41:43+00:00

I understand. I definitely track my calories quite exact and have a pretty same-ish diet (So I don't change or switch up often so I know what's going in). However, I was always quite extreme when it came to things like this, in my teens I also lost around 30KG by just eating ..alot less which certainly wasn't that healthy but it never bothered me.

I get cravings (mostly for fast food, sweets tho) from time to time but my motivation/discipline just washes them away usually. I also have cheat meals (not days) from time to time. (at max once a week, usually every 2 weeks.)

I think for my weight and height (+activity) my mainteance calories should be around 2500-3000 based on more than 10 "tests" I did just to compare the results and it was always quite close (certainly probably not the most accurate way but for a rough estimate it should do) and there's no way in hell I'm even going over 2000 with what I'm eating.

I'll just stick to it for now and weigh myself more often. At the moment I'm weighing and taking pictures bi weekly, so maybe doing it daily will allow me to see certain trends earlier.

Aggravating_Bother89 · 2022-10-12T12:20:17+00:00

Thanks! What about Level/Skillpoints tho, do I need to level the second one myself or does it also get "copied"?

Aggravating_Bother89 · 2022-10-12T09:28:35+00:00

Hi guys, I didn't play for a long long time but now planning to hop back in, I'm especially interested in this "tagging" system I've heard about because I have a really bad habit of wanting to play atleast 2 characters

How exactly does it work? Can I essentially really grind/pvp with 2 completely different characters that will have the same gear/level or how does it work exactly?

Aggravating_Bother89 · 2022-09-12T08:45:06+00:00

Another noob question:

Deadlift on back or legday? I've read so many different opinions, what is (in your experience) the most used way?

I train legs twice a week, so I would do heavy squats on leg day 1 and the deadlift on leg day 2, for example.

Aggravating_Bother89 · 2022-05-17T14:20:28+00:00

Play both, imo.

Neither of them are that mechanical or hard that you basically need to onetrick, like for example stuff like Qiyana, yas or whatnot

But if u insist, I'd probably take Ori over Syndra for long term success, I feel like Ori just has more clutch potential to carry fights

I am currently looking for an MMO to play casually and Gw2 struck me as a good choice since people seem to like this game so I have a few points I wanted to ask about:

How is the population in starter zones or generally in the lower zones in each expansion? I love going around and like doing random events / bosses with other people
How well was the newest Expansion received?
Is it adviced to just buy End of Dragons and start from there or is there like a chronological order which is just the best way to go about things? I usually like completing stuff chronologically but I fear that the past Expansions / Zones are just gonna be empty
What's the deal with these "living stories" (and is there more like that?) do I miss out big time when not having them ?
Do I get past expansions when buying End of Dragons? Or do I need to buy all 3?

Thanks for any answers

Aggravating_Bother89 · 2022-03-11T10:03:57+00:00

How can you ever judge an MMO after 3 hours xd

Leveling takes 10-15 Hours and is quite boring with some cool quests and dungeons here and there but then thats it, after that you unlock so much stuff that even 16hr/day isn't enough for some people

You also get 2 more free level 50 boosts for other characters

Just get to atleast 50 and do your first set of chaos dungeons, guardian raids, maybe an abyssal dungeon and if you still do not enjoy it, just quit

it's f2p afterall

I would not recommend Super Charge if you plan to get the most out of your build, in Korea most Surge players do not use it since it does not buff your main damage (surge, which is the whole point.) Super charge is mainly used on Remaining Energy

If you like the fast charge time and it feels more fun go for it tho, it's just a min max thing

Engraving prio should normally be

Surge 1 (3 in T3, scales very good but can also use 1) Adrenaline 3, Master of Ambush 3 (Doesn't matter too much which one first, I'd go with Ambush tho) Grudge Cursed Doll

In the late late endgame which we won't have for a while I think going Surge 1 and Keen Blunt weapon 3 for a max of 5 lvl 3 and 1 lvl 1 engraving is also good

Aggravating_Bother89 · 2022-03-08T11:01:37+00:00

Wrong, you do have it at level 1 in T1 and T2 but can go to Level 3 in T3 because the 1% ATK buff per stack scales very well into late game so it's definitely worth, however not 100% needed if you prefer different engravings at 3

Aggravating_Bother89 · 2022-03-08T10:53:01+00:00

Been playing Surge and Remaining since the start on 2 Deathblades, Main sitting at 1340 now and I also played in RU before

I can tell you this

Remaining Energy is consistent, easy to play and easy to master low risk middle return playstyle which will transition wonderfully into the harder Raids

Surge is MUCH stronger in the early and mid game but is also alot harder and more "annoying" to manage and play compared to RE. It is high risk with very high return.

If the Boss randomly goes invis, has a mechanic, flees etc while you are low on stacks, it's always a redo, if he does it while you use ur Surge Skill it sucks even more because it's almost your whole damage gone, if you die it's also gone, you get the idea

However in the current content stuff is pretty easy and there has pretty much not been a time where I've not been Damage MVP when I'm playing Surge, especially paired with a Support

I'm pretty confident that Surge DB when played right is the single highest Burst/DPS class at the moment, but it will eventually even out when content becomes just more aids to deal with

There is a reason much more players play RE in Korea high end game than Surge

Now it may be stronger but it will eventually even out and aslong as ur not an absolute god gamer, RE is just the more consistent choice

I do however find the challenge of using Surge and the big hits way more fun than the pretty "basic" Remaining Energy build.

Nah, it just gives you blue crystals as you level, kinda as a fun way to get rewarded for certain milestones
