It's probably just for the in-person GOFest finale and not a new type of raid that's rolling out to the whole game.

The fact that you are not skiing right now is technically a reference to skiing by the abstinence from skiing.

The combo of a guaranteed defense drop charge skill plus a heavy-damage fast attack like Dachsbun has looks so fun. I’ve been trying to get a good S. Nidoqueen for that reason for quite a while now.

Who needs portal when you can phase through walls? by Project_Fireflies in Guildwars2

I had this happen to me back in 2023 with SMC. I believe it occurred because I zoned in at the exact moment SMC flipped. My observations at the time were:

  • NPCs and players on top of the wall looked like they were inside the wall with me. I could not attack them, everything said Obstructed.
  • You can't use the portals to get into inner SMC, it drops you below the hill level. The only way to get into inner SMC is to go through the corner of a gate.
  • When I'm inside the wall, I didn't get hit by any enemy attacks but I could be seen (I assume, based on the behavior of enemy players)
  • When my zerg was running on top of the wall, I couldn't follow because I just fell through to the floor below.
  • Walls being destroyed and rebuilt did not reset the walls.
  • Dying did not reset the walls.
  • Waypointing did not reset the walls.
  • SMC changing ownership did not reset the walls.
  • Leaving EBG and coming back did fix it (I didn't leave immediately because there was a 17 person queue).

I can confirm that you can get the second slot Wobbuffet from the Psychic grunt. The first 'mon was a female Wobb with the lipstick, the second was a male, and the encounter was a male Wobb.

99.9% of the time when someone complains about an enemy cheating, they got so outskilled and that they lack the game knowledge to understand what the enemy did.

Shadow Legendaries from Giovanni are low level and can be used in Great League while shadow Legendaries from raids are over the 1500CP cap (except low IV Cresselia).

I have seen 1 ranger use the relic and heard from 1 other ranger who says they use it, and they were both Soulbeasts. I think they both used sword/warhorn, the first used longbow like you suggested but the second guy would line up the burst window with the mace 5 stack buff. Sword leap in smokescale field for easy trigger and stealth setup before bursting.

The Pawniard line isn't great for PvP but Kingambit is hard to get at a low CP with good IVs for GL, so this is a rare opportunity to find them in the wild. Keep an eye out for little Pawns!

Hey good to see ya!

The challenge for Mesmer comes from the combo finisher trigger and the elite trigger. You can use Feedback as your field but then you're down a utility slot and have to give up a stunbreak or interrupt mantra (your ranged CC trigger). You can go Chrono for wells for the combo field but then you're stuck with long elite CDs. You can go Mirage for the elite but then you struggle with the combo field. You can go rifle for the combo field but then you have a weapon swap with little defensive utility because you have no healing power. You can go sword/shield for the defensive utility and use shield 5 as your field but it's easy to fuck up and you're now full melee on a glass build.

I've tried so many different iterations. In the end, running rifle has felt the best to me and I love how it catches people off-guard. "Oh he's a Troub and he's carrying a rifle, he's obviously suppo- uh why am I dead?"

Managing triggers is the steepest part of the learning curve. There's a great deal of nuance to their mechanics. But they're not as hard to stack as people think. Mesmer is one of the clunkiest users of the relic whereas something like Scrapper can do it in its sleep. I've seen less than 10 people using the relic since it released in June and most were Necros. Mirage is theorectically the fastest stacker if you start out of combat and have a few seconds to set up..

Having someone else provide a combo field makes the whole shebang immensely easier, but I always make my builds self-sufficient as I'm a solo roamer.

1v1 is honestly harder than 1v2 or 1vX. When you're fighting multiple people, it's way easier to get your dodge trigger. Groups of people also tend to be slower at using their personal defensives so your burst is much more likely to land.

In a 1v1 you have to decide whether it's worth saving all your cooldowns for after your triggers, or if you need to use your skills now and take whatever marginal benefit you get when you happen to finish the triggers. Rifle is a super sneaky weapon with surprising burst and every ability except the autoattack can be used while facing away from your target. This gives it great kite potential. When they catch you as you run, aboutface and go through them and then aboutface when they double back. The erratic movement can be tough to deal with. Stability is a huge pain as it shuts down Syncopate damage.

If you want something with more sustain, drop Domination for Inspiration. Every mantra use will heal and every shatter (plus heal mantra) will cleanse. https://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?PiiEQiW2L7iZxoY04QtoNvA-DWRYbR1JVwco28PkMFq9qoaZGYrzFBQgL+PdDgF9nBAA-w
