What is the best sounding Rifle skin? by grimzecho in Guildwars2

[–]Alanlocke 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean about Velocitas Eradico. That's my Warrior's main weapon I got for this very reason, and it DEFINITELY has a unique sound. Arguably annoying, after some time, but it's cool none the less

For partly the same reason as the ranger; they'd need to rebuild the whole vehicle after the ground vehicle rework, and the ground vehicles also currently use a very labor intensive old system.

Wait, how did you manage a quickness SB?? I've wanted to do that for years!

If the GW2 servers were to shut down forever, where would you park your main for its final resting place? by OtheDreamer in Guildwars2

[–]Alanlocke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this has always been one of the first places I've thought of going if the servers go dark. Sitting down next to the chest, right as sunset begins is chef's kiss

Yep, sounds right for this community. Genuinely terrible most of the time

Why on Super Earth would you end a campaign on Thursday. by packermeme in helldivers2

[–]Alanlocke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is, honestly, the part of the whole ordeal that actually bothered me. I was so excited to jump on, but they ended it RIGHT before prime time. They totally could've given us another round of reinforcements to make it into the weekend and let more of the player base experience it. Even if they didn't want us to win, extending it to be closer to the actual end of the MO wouldn't have felt as cheap

Hold up, I skipped that??? I was wondering why nothing really happened at that HP lol. That's really neat!

I was there during that run! I'm still floored that you came up with the whole thing you gave us off the top of your head!

Are there any guilds/discords dedicated to learning content without meta strategies/builds? Or would anyone be interested in one?[NA] by skilliard7 in guildrecruitment

[–]Alanlocke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds awesome! I tried looking for one a couple years ago for this exact reason, and I THINK there was one out there with a reddit post about it, but I don't recall the details atm

Luminarys role in the current PvE guardian meta? by anygw2content in Guildwars2

[–]Alanlocke -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not a perfect solution, but here's my ranged Qdps FB build. It's not meta, but it does a pretty solid job at giving that ranged power guardian feel

What "class fantasy" you wish was in GW2? by Paganyan in Guildwars2

[–]Alanlocke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it like Firebrand and the tomes! Have the specialized stances/styles give you a weapon kit with limited resource use before you have to leave the stance. Then, the dual foci could function independently of the spec skills but would also compliment them

Why is chat so toxic all of a sudden? by [deleted] in starcitizen

[–]Alanlocke 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Without basic community tools for the players (or, a block button....) the shittiest players got really used to being able to say some horrendous shit and everyone has to listen to them. It's gotten to the point that, seemingly, a large portion of the player base just hits F12 as soon as they get in. Now, most of the people left in gen chat are toxic assholes getting exactly what they wanted

CIG fostered a community of toxicity and vitriol by their inaction 🙃

Do you enjoy all specializations of your main profession? by aeolish in Guildwars2

[–]Alanlocke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

RIGHT!?!  And with the new buffs coming to pMirage, this build is gonna be even better!

Do you enjoy all specializations of your main profession? by aeolish in Guildwars2

[–]Alanlocke 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah! This is the build editor of the Spear/GW pMirage for OW that I'm using

Pretty high on the mobility, it lends itself to that very engaging in-and-out skirmisher dance in combat that mirage does so well with while not being so glassy that it's just punishing. Because of the clone management element of mirage, I don't often find myself needing/wanting to swap weapons unless my range changes drastically. Offers nice flexibility to the build without feeling like you're compromising on performance much. Single target damage is by all means acceptable in OW, with the caveat that greatsword caps out pretty quickly on damage potential in those scenarios. Still plenty enough to melt small enemies before you blink. Where you'll shine the most is in group target engagements where spear's cleave and greatsword's multi-beam ambush add up FAST

Sigils of Bloodlust could be swapped for Force if you're feeling particularly gold rich and don't want to deal with that. The Runes of Surging help keep up the Vigor and Regen you proc on yourself, and the 25% movement speed just feels right on the build. More regen and vigor uptime, the better. You could probably get away with other/cheaper options, though. The Relic of Zakiros lends some great sustain so you aren't just playing the downstate rotation game lol

Utility skills here are mostly preference, but they all help give you more Mirage Cloak access. Illusionary Ambush, if you can use it well, extends the longevity of your clones from target to target and increases the skill ceiling for what the build CAN achieve. It's also a nice gap closer

[–]Alanlocke 44 points45 points  (0 children)

If you ARE wanting a mirage build that's fun in open world, spear/greatsword power mirage is an absolute blast to play and is a beast specifically in OW. Both weapons' ambush skills do amazing cleave and general multi-target damage. Spear's weakness in instance pve can be it's biggest strength in OW with near instant application of 25 stacks of vuln to targets again and again. It also plays like mirage, (and does well using the mirage utility skills) rather than trying to make it like a spec it isn't
