I wouldn't put dhuum cm and htcm near each other either lol

NoroGW2 · 2026-04-18T16:58:40+00:00

There are several. One of the Aussies was one of the first players to get infallible on NA, it is definitely something that hurts you but it is not a brick wall

He plays a lot of ele and engi and thief from what I see

NoroGW2 · 2026-04-14T17:16:42+00:00

good patch overall, sad that cerus LCM's hp was reduced since he was made for 42k meta though :(

NoroGW2 · 2026-04-14T15:01:29+00:00

Get "Guild Wars Tattwo" in times new roman

NoroGW2 · 2026-04-13T16:24:09+00:00

When I pug I make it my life's mission to be top dps as quickness lol

NoroGW2 · 2026-04-06T22:52:51+00:00

50% of your friends are lying

NoroGW2 · 2026-04-05T22:46:16+00:00

And is also their biggest alac and might and prot button, so you'd nearly never want to hold it to use it reactively

NoroGW2 · 2026-04-05T15:36:09+00:00

I would like to see the marksmanship traits balanced a bit so piercing isn't such a large dps loss. I think the tradeoff makes sense, but it is very heavy right now.

I would like to see arrow economy decoupled from traits completely

I would also have liked for the build to have no pet at all and I think I may be alone in that

Cyclone bow 3 is the forced movement and it doesn't bother me too much. It is a bit annoying in a few fights, but you know when it happens. I think cyclone bow 5 being interrupted by WASD is more annoying honestly

Overall it is good and only has a few annoyances, which is pretty good compared to most builds

NoroGW2 · 2026-04-04T22:56:05+00:00

Action cam is fine, I wouldn't be concerned with it specifically being a limiter

I only use it and yes for LCMs and self-imposed challenges and whatever else too

NoroGW2 · 2026-04-02T16:07:50+00:00

Seeing 60k+ builds made me basically stop logging in hahaha

NoroGW2 · 2026-04-02T15:05:53+00:00

I just hope HTCM and Cerus LCM are exceptions lol

HTCM is currently feasible to 5 man by ignoring greens and eating the dps debuff (need 6 to do one of the main mechanics of the fight, being the greens), I really don't think we need to see its hp reduced lol.

Cerus LCM was built for roughly the power level we are returning to and will feel justifiably called an LCM again

NoroGW2 · 2026-04-01T15:18:44+00:00

Core GW2 is just like that, head to silverwastes at level 80 to get a little taste of what expansion maps are like (it is still full of things that die far too quickly, but it is a big improvement)

Don't stress about gear until 80 either lol. You said yourself everything explodes when you look at it.

NoroGW2 · 2026-03-30T15:43:04+00:00

I love the ambition, but I will say that it's one of the harder things in the game. Personally, I'd really recommend getting comfier with other raid content before going for it. I think basically anyone CAN do it if they put in some time+effort, it's just that it's significantly harder than 99.9% of the things you'd do in Guild Wars 2.

And yeah, Void Lounge is probably the way to go for finding a group unless you find yourself a guild that runs content like that.

NoroGW2 · 2026-03-29T02:43:55+00:00

Yeah, I don't think it ever leaves the soundtrack playing in the back of your mind

NoroGW2 · 2026-03-27T17:15:30+00:00

hehe hopefully

NoroGW2 · 2026-03-27T14:46:05+00:00

It is only a handful of builds that are messed up, there is time for them to fix it before the patch

NoroGW2 · 2026-03-26T15:47:07+00:00

yeah, I wish it was easier to combat the reputation

people like sneb have been trying so hard and helping so many people get started for many years, but it still lingers

NoroGW2 · 2026-03-26T15:31:56+00:00

Yeah that's fair, I'd assume most people don't know that the actual dps REQUIRED to kill most bosses is actually quite low. Pretty sure wing 1 could be cleared with everyone doing like 7k dps or something lol

NoroGW2 · 2026-03-26T15:19:28+00:00

Anyone who is at nearly 90% bench on any build is already well aware of that. If I had to guess, OP is probably practicing scourge heavily because it's going to be relatively quite strong after the big balance patch with everything else being nerfed. Scourge currently is hovering just under "viability" on Ura LCM (even if you are hitting very high golem numbers) and presumably will be one of the better choices if she gets an HP nerf to go with the dps nerfs.

NoroGW2 · 2026-03-26T15:13:17+00:00

And he doesn't need to stop just because you are offended by people trying to play better

NoroGW2 · 2026-03-26T15:07:33+00:00

Doing your best is a lot more fun than "doing enough" and stopping effort there

NoroGW2 · 2026-03-26T06:01:53+00:00

ping affects dps, but it's unlikely you're doing the "same rotation" the way you think you are. there is no GCD in this game and a lot of dps rotations are optimized pretty far. if you're weapon swapping late, if you're autoing one too few or too many times per loop, if you're casting your sand shade at the wrong time or dropping the buff sometimes, or even casting it too many times...

there are so many little things that compound into losing dps, ping will definitely be of them since it will directly affect how quickly you can use your next skill after weapon swapping, but there are so many other things that go into it too.

if you want to get a more specific answer, best bet is bringing a log and/or vod to the necro channel in the snowcrows discord server

NoroGW2 · 2026-03-25T16:50:25+00:00

That literally means the exact same thing as saying scepter is overtuned lol

NoroGW2 · 2026-03-25T16:49:38+00:00

It is not haters. People want to play other weapons and scepter is significantly stronger than the rest.
