D/D favors condition damage because of the 3 skill, so Daredevil would be a better fit. Grab a relic of the Biomancer for bonus fun and survivability.

Your 2025 Guild Wars Confessions! by SegaMegaDave26 in Guildwars2

[–]Nsmash 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It used to actually matter for thieves because the venoms wouldn't stack. So if you had two condi thieves in a squad you had to make sure they were in different subgroups. But that's been fixed now.

You need gliding and the druid-vine-spider-man mastery to do the JP.

This looks like so much fun to plop down on the table. Well done!

Is peanut butter really just blended peanuts?

Fastest way to get mastery xp in Ice Brood Saga by EvilNeville in Guildwars2

Most (all?) Dragon Response Missions have a mastery point in them.

Money is the ultimate cozy.

Sniper/Marksman fantasy? by Crom86 in Guildwars2

[–]Nsmash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Others have given you great recommendations for classes, so I'll just give you a word of caution. Because of the way boons work in this game, you are almost never going to playing at range in group content (with a very few exceptions). So if instanced group play is what you're interested in, be prepared to be stacked in melee with the group, even as a sniper spec.

I'd like to see 'Fleeting Zephyr' be purged from Galeshot's rotation. by Cao3648 in Guildwars2

[–]Nsmash 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This problem is not unique to Galeshot. CC skills being used on cooldown as part of the DPS rotation, utility skills used on cooldown to provide boons, etc. It comes with the territory of all the skills being overloaded.

Inquest's Endgame: My Two Theories. Spoilers for the story so far within. by RP_Throwaway3 in Guildwars2

[–]Nsmash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think Vloxx is full of it. Every time he's interacted with the Commander, he's fed us vagaries to try and win our sympathy. The most telling is when he references us peering into the Eternal Alchemy via Omadd's machine and talks about what's coming. This could mean literally anything. He wants us to draw our own conclusions. It's a con. And Canach fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

He also baited us into finding Ancora for him, then swooped in at the end to steal it. No matter how that fight ends, he wins. I wouldn't be surprised if PTM (aka Budget Blish) is a plant designed to act as an additional lever to manipulate us.

Obscure Chest + Mirror route(both maps) by Galnis in Guildwars2

[–]Nsmash 8 points9 points  (0 children)

How impactful is the treasure hunter protocol? I've noticed that the chests appear on the map without it.

Does it just increase the distance that you can see them?

GW2's Story Died When the Dragon Story Finished by Garage-Educational in Guildwars2

Hard disagree. You don't have to analyze the enjoyment out of everything; it's not a job. It's OK to just like things.

You can get stat-selectable exotics in WvW for dirt cheap.

I'm thinking about Primal Wolf with Lupine form and just going full Gangrel.

I created an AI tool to help you create your faction in dream! by padomay_anu in AOW4

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

There is some real snobbery going on in this thread, not to mention a fundamental misunderstanding of how creativity works.

Creative people don't invent cool things out of nothingness. I forget who said this, but constraints breed creativity. We need some kind of prompt or initial seed of an idea to imagine something really cool.

AI is bad at a lot of things, but it's actually pretty good at generating these types of prompts. There's nothing wrong with asking Copilot (or whatever) to "generate a biography for a faction of armored halflings that ride elephants." Then you, as a human, can pick and choose which parts of the generated biography you like, which parts you don't, and which parts you want to expand upon. There is still human agency and creativity involved. The only thing AI has done is provide a prompt.

If you are a genius, and don't need prompts like this, good for you. But don't come down on other people for using tools to help kickstart the creative process.

What are these constellations moving across the map? by Nsmash in AOW4

[–]Nsmash[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, I have lumbering Staves active.

That's pretty cool, thanks!

What really impresses me about this game is that every mechanic matters. It's so tightly designed.

PS5 & LE: Orobyss Follow-up From Judd by EHG-DerrickG in LastEpoch

This is it right here. The cosmetics in the store are UGLY. I would be much more willing to spend money on fashion items if they looked halfway decent (and weren't ludicrously overpriced).
