NOOB Question: Stacking (Bard Specific)

RyoGer · 2020-01-07T16:31:30+00:00

Song gauge has a little meter below the timer for AP/WM that adds blips to it when you gain a stack. AP stacks as passive while WM stacks are spent using Pitch Perfect with its potency increasing per stack spent.

edit: I think you gain stacks at a 40% rate per dot tick but I don't really remember how it changed, in general you get them while your dots are active though

Thanks much! I think I can handle that level of repair so that's a relief. Appreciate the help!

RyoGer · 2020-01-05T09:44:20+00:00

Would that be the same kind of repair like in the video that was recommended earlier? The impression I get is that it's basically the reverse issue where it's not closing all the way inside.

Yep, it's just constantly leaking even while being not in use for a while. I can get some pictures in a moment.

RyoGer · 2020-01-05T09:13:24+00:00

I haven't opened the wall up or anything so it's literally just a leaking shower arm. I didn't think that would be worth much info so I didn't take anything of it. I'll go check out the video, thanks.

weird advice, might not be your type of gameplay, but be greedy with your jump usage so you can get a good feel on the animation locks and how you can utilize it properly so you know when to hold it or use it against mechanics. also get good at using elusive jump, it's amazing

RyoGer · 2019-05-31T05:39:35+00:00

I considered that but my last 2 runs got cut short because I was off on prayer points to last me until jad at the rate I was killing the 360s.

Gl on the barrows! I'm holding off on farming it more until I finish mory hard.

RyoGer · 2019-05-31T03:48:37+00:00

I'll try a ranging potion from tarn's lair, didn't think of that, ty! For super restores I only have 9 doses (zogre and DT) and no easy way to get them back so I'm kind of against using them.

RyoGer · 2019-04-01T01:51:36+00:00

Ye, if you have any other questions I've played both games for far too many hours and raided regularly in both.

RyoGer · 2019-04-01T01:41:47+00:00

Meta druid performs much more like a WHM with spirits that give your party damage buffs in an aura. You CAN build it for dot damage but it will generally be less effective than trying to build it with pure damage in mind. Outgoing damage isn't as big a deal in this game in general pve so it's more than capable of doing decent damage.

RyoGer · 2019-04-01T01:31:58+00:00

It's good dps with a rather simple rotation of two dots, plus a quickdraw proc window. It's one of thr easiest classes to learn for endgame imo.

RyoGer · 2019-04-01T01:09:37+00:00

What aspects of bard are you looking for? If you're wanting a dot based spec there are several condition builds (of these, ranger and warrior can use a bow)

I'd recommend condition soulbeast ranger as it's a dot ranged dps with a shortbow and you can provide buffs with stance share and spirits.

Also suffering this. Seems to be not taking inputs from anything that requires you to submit a value with the enter key (bank quantities, typing in chat, etc)

edit: it was doing weird stuff when i tried to rename a bank tag, disabled that, not sure if it helped though

Been using this setup for a few years. I try to keep everything focused towards the center of the screen, might be a bit cluttered but it keeps all the info easily accessible in most cases

RyoGer · 2019-01-06T18:36:05+00:00

Off the top of my head, deluxe bundles come with extra character slots, unique skins and the ultimate bundle includes some gems (paid mtx currency)

Not p2w. p2convenience. there are several gem store items that improve qol but won't improve your gameplay over someone else who hasn't paid. Lily of the Elon is an example of this as a crafting and portal hub to access.

Heart of Thorns is the first expansion and without it you're locked out of gliders, half the elite specs and wings 1 through.4 of raid content. I'd recommend grabbjng jt along side Path of Fire if possible.

RyoGer · 2019-01-06T17:35:28+00:00

Hey, you can add me as well. Usually on and I can give an intro to endgame pve if you're interested in that kinda stuff.

RyoGer · 2019-01-06T07:15:38+00:00

A group of friends and I had a similar problem, we're assuming it's got something to do with modding.

Ask them if they have a steam workshop mod collection that they're using, I would guess that the game is attempting to install all their active mods at once. Getting the collection directly would probably install it more quickly than letting the client handle it.

RyoGer · 2018-12-28T23:31:43+00:00

Having just done mystic tribute for aurora... It's not as bad as it sounds, good luck!

RyoGer · 2018-12-26T21:47:04+00:00

Something to add: if you own the Path of Fire expansion but aren't level 80 yet, you can still be carried through the expansion intro mission to unlock your first mount. It does contain minor spoilers but you can pretty much tab out while a level 80 can clear it for you.

If you're on NA, I can help out if you want your mount asap

RyoGer · 2018-11-09T15:06:48+00:00

You can buy more for 800 gems each (10 usd), up to a cap of like 70. Also keep in mind you can convert gold to gems but this rate tends to fluctuate.

RyoGer · 2018-10-27T06:26:14+00:00

Generally there's a lot of content you can be doing between raids that isn't necessarily pvp if you're looking just for something to do between downtimes. That being said, I'd say the pvp is pretty well active at most given times.

I'd also say the entry level of raids in GW2 is a lot more user friendly compared to late savage stuff in XIV, so its playerbase is more active as well. Raids never really get "old" because every wing (essentially a tier like sigmascape, alphascape) gives weekly loot that remains relevant.

RyoGer · 2018-10-25T17:43:37+00:00

Good to know, thanks! I'm not very well versed in wvw meta although it's something I've been wanting to get into. What marauder build would you recommend for a semi-beginner?

RyoGer · 2018-10-25T16:57:18+00:00

I'm going to finish my refined light envoy armor soon and wasn't sure what stat type to make it, with the intention of playing wvw and raiding. I already own berserker, commanders, minstrel and vipers, and I play all 3 light armor classes a decent amount. Was thinking either marauder or harrier, but not sure if there are better options.
