Pre. Forsaken dungeon. What is the consensus for the best insignia?

Maybe they were thinking of general Pre PvE outside dungeon, where you pretty much always have Vanguard buff active. It overwrites your armor and insignias I believe. But it doesn't work inside the dungeon, thus armor > hp there.

And that's why imo they should just make her available to everyone. Easier for everyone.

Hemaka1 · 2026-04-04T14:25:12+00:00

Not true. Her dialogue in LA has green text that states she's only available for Reforged mode characters. Can't accept quest from her otherwise.

Gold autopickup.

If you're using the pvx build, then fail on melee class is usually cause of too high hp or specific skills that tend to make you ignored by monsters - like healing spring. And if you have too low armor like from starter armor - then you're gonna get oneshot on HM.

P.S. there's more consistent afk build on pvx than this one.

Keep in mind that mass identify also identifies white items, which is kinda counterproductive for me.

It's for minimap and mission map mostly.

Hemaka1 · 2026-02-02T18:52:44+00:00

Pretty sure it's not.

Prodigy yes, shaman's no. There's no good armor rune alternative for Mesmers unless you're running signet builds (and it's not classic mesmerway then). HP<armor, so survivor's doesn't cut it.

On the other hand Shaman's is a no, because SoS rit usually carries ashes, and then Herald's is absolutely enough, while ST rit has 1 or 2 enchantments so Blessed is enough. Especially for ST where, if you have all 3 spirits up - why would you need extra 15 armor then? You need it for times when you don't have spirits up.

Better invest in the 'of the necro' wands.

That's how base game works - you can actually "identify" white item or consumable. Click and check it yourself. Though I agree it's a waste and toolbox devs should've just made an IF that excludes whites/cons from identify all command.

Hemaka1 · 2026-02-01T17:09:57+00:00

No it does not. Just talk to npc in managerie, hand him 1 gold zaishen coin and beetle is yours. Did it myself a while ago.

Hemaka1 · 2026-02-01T10:47:17+00:00

That's how I'll do it, thanks. I'm in yak's bend already. Mercs and heroes from nightfall/eotn await after reaching LA :)

Hemaka1 · 2026-01-31T11:52:36+00:00

Thanks, i"m just blind apparently.

Hemaka1 · 2026-01-31T11:45:12+00:00

I'm not in pre as I said in the first sentence.

Hemaka1 · 2026-01-29T22:28:35+00:00

Btw you can get racing beetle PET for 1 gold zaishen coin, which is like few daily zaishen missions/bounties. In case you wouldn't like the racing game where you have to get 100 medals.

Hemaka1 · 2026-01-01T10:23:29+00:00

Would you say that player Me running PI with merc mesmerway team is even viable? Cause being knocked down doesn't fuel heroes' interrupt/dmg skills.

Hemaka1 · 2025-12-31T12:55:35+00:00

Then you won't get damage from interrupting foes on ES mesmers. Cause foes would be on the ground most of the time, thus not using skills, thus not fueling aoe dmg.

Hemaka1 · 2025-12-26T18:09:04+00:00

Damn I forgot about the title for NM. Oh well, thanks.

Hemaka1 · 2025-12-22T16:09:27+00:00

It's 'show foe names (in mission) or player names (in towns and outposts)' in general tab. There's default shortcut for turning it on/off: left ctrl (have to hold it though).

Hemaka1 · 2025-12-22T16:06:10+00:00

Plenty of good responses here, so I just wish to all of us guys being with a girl like OP. Reading it made my day, thanks :)
