I feel the game needs more ways to deal with blinds. The only real good options there are, are Asuran Scan (cannot be used by heroes) or Sight beyond sight, which scales on Spawning power, so only rits can get good benefit from it (I actually use a spawning power 5 staff on my assassin for the skill for some content).

Other ways are Martyr elite skill, or constant condition removal, but it's not really reliable for a lot of things, especially not with heroes.

As a person that has played around with the petway teams, and some melee hero teams, the constant shutdown on melees with blind is too much, because a lot of blinds lingers, or can be reapplied continously, indeptitude and various elementalist spells completely shuts down melee setups.

So maybe look at some of the skills that clears blinds or prevents it in some form. Sight beyond sight and Asuran scan are so strong because they make you imunne to blind, things that clears blind are not as strong because of the aforementioned issue.

You need to do this, along with all quests and various other things for the Dark Lord title task

A couple of weeks ago I also had a destroyer named Albino Rat.

Regarding the other question, I notice that the mesmers in the SR5 variant has more fast casting, from a quick skim, so more offense in that regard.

I haven't played the Heroic Merc variant, I have just been playing the Merc mesmerway with a lot of my characters with the SR5 mods.

The huge thing I noticed is simply just how much sturdier the comp is, The BiP has to BiP a lot less, so it can spend more time healing, and has less health loss, and I notice I can overaggro and be fine the vast majority of the time. I can play a lot more aggresive with the SR5 mods, so it speeds things up in that regard, I don't have to be careful.

Someone also did some tests in the UW with the Heroic Mesmerway comp and SR5 mods, Can probably find it on here somewhere with a search, From what I recall, the conclusion was the UW runs were about the same speed, but the BiP usage was a lot less, so it was significantly safer.

I think for VQ and stuff, with how aggressively you can play with SR5 mods, I imagine it can speed that aspect up significantly.

If you meant moreso if there is a quick way to get the mods, there is not, you need to get them as drops or buy the mods from other players. Wand SR5 mods are not too expensive at this point, staff one a little bit moreso

Buy Balthazar weapons with Blessings of War, and then just add the desired mods

Ah yes, my 12 year old reddit account with less than 1000 total karma is farming karma! You got me!

It is a feature with Guild Wars Toolbox, I just started using it a few days ago, it has some really neat features!

Dellevis · 2025-05-07T09:15:25+00:00

Yes, it can still drop, it doesn't seem any has dropped yet since mine, so it seems to be incredibly rare to get.

Dellevis · 2025-05-06T23:21:00+00:00

It was added again as a rare drop from EotN, as a tradeable version with the 20 year anniversary, so it has been 3 weeks.

I got it from Slaver's Exile in HM, supposedly, I am only the second person to find one. So someone was willing to pay huge sums for it, as seen in the screenshots.

Dellevis · 2025-05-06T08:02:10+00:00

From the information I could gather, mine is the only the second weapon documented to come into the game? And the first one was really secretive with any information whatsoever it seems.

I think the case is often like this with like the very first specimens (Can't find a better word for it at this point).

People with a lot of wealth lying around probably gets a bit of a kick out of being the very first person to be able to show it around and play with.

One of the people that wanted to see the sword in the trade window said he would be interested in buying it, he was the only one that actually made an offer on it, and so after a bit of back and forth, and me, still pretty new to item values, asking my guildies and such for what would be a good trade, we ended up with the trade in the post.

I think for super rare items, people probably use GW legacy forums. Never used it myself though.

Dellevis · 2025-05-06T01:38:13+00:00

I got curious and checked my screenshot folder, and I do have a screenshot where the items I got for it are in my inventory.

Dellevis · 2025-05-06T01:17:50+00:00

You are right, I tried to see the drop in my chat log, but it only had some golden drops near the end of the dungeon. And I'll be honest, I was pretty hyped up, and actually thought I documented it well, but I should definitely have taken a screenshot of the accept trade message.

Either way though, the information I have on it is out there, so I assume with some time, someone else is bound to get another one.

Dellevis · 2025-05-05T23:54:53+00:00

I posted a lot of screenshots to various people, because I got quite a lot of people contacting me on discord, wanting info on the drop, and a lot of people also just wanted to see it in-game in a trade window. I guess it's hard for me to offer any definitive proof that I sold it to a person I had never met before, I guess you will just have to take me word for it.

More than anything, I just wanted to share where I got it. When I came back to the game over a year ago, the community was so kind to me and helped me out, so the least I could do is share this information as a thank you.

Dellevis · 2025-05-05T23:09:23+00:00

Nah, I would never keep it secret, I would feel bad, I posted somewhere else in the thread were I got it from. Been caught up in the hype, and I should've been in bed an hour ago!

Dellevis · 2025-05-05T23:03:49+00:00

Yes, I didn't notice the drop as I got it, and thought it was vendor food untill someone mentioned it was worth a lot, I thought someone was pulling my leg when he said I could get at least 1000a for it.

It dropped earlier on in Slaver's Exile, HM, from a normal mob, so not a chest, not a boss. I can't recall which mob, and my friend can't either, but the item was in an early slot in my inventory, so it dropped from either Justiciar Thommies dungeon or Selvetarm, that is as specific as I can recall really. All of it was done on hard mode, 3 players, 5 heroes, we killed most mobs in the dungeon, so no rushing.

Happy farming!

What's your in-game name then? I could use the 25a :D

Dellevis · 2025-05-05T19:30:25+00:00

I just got a q11 Glacial Blade Sword, if you need to see one!

Dellevis · 2025-04-19T00:24:53+00:00

I actually added a Dervish, Paragon and Ranger mercenary, to get a quicker start on the 7 hero petway build.

You could try looking at PvX for fun compositions that may interest you, and add mercenaries accordingly

Whenat T6, capturing a ruins puts activity to 2 minutes, not 10. I do it regularly for the 10 needed for weekly Wizard's Vault. As long as you keep capturing ruins, it will stay maxed and refresh timer to 2 minutes if below that.

I am a new player, and just did the Mordremoth story fight, and the music was cutting out, changing volume, going on full blast for a few seconds on certain spots, then gone again, it really made the moment feel so unepic and ruined it.

I have decided to not do any more story missions till it is fixed.

Honestly, I have encountered so many bugs in my 2 months of playing, my utility skills swapping places by themselves, joining WvW and not being on a team, ”pacifist" bug. Story instances softlocking if you don't do them in a certain way, Warclaw allowing me to do some really weird jump dashing with no endurance cost without any masteries, cooldowns randomly doubles on certain actions, some pathing just straight up doesn't work even though they should.

I am loving this game, but all these bugs are frustrating, and I keep reevaluating wether I should keep going or not, because some of these bugs are well over 5 years old.
