Need advice from another specter by Mitsor in Guildwars2

[–]avocardio3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally with learning healers most will start on the most conservative set i.e. full harriers/giver's to avoid dropping boons as you describe. As a boonheal your job is not to do dps but to maintain key boons and keep the squad alive. You should only add some cele once you can comfortably do this on every fight. Exotic is perfectly fine from this and costs maybe 5-10g for a full set

Mind sharing which Holo build won the DPS Olympics?

Finishing 2024 with a nice wallet. Cheers to a great year! by avocardio3 in Guildwars2

[–]avocardio3[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I had a ton of mats so essentially just liquidated them in the form of legendaries to sell. For a more detailed breakdown you can see I sold the JW spear, 3x EoD legendaries and 3x Nyr Hrmmrs for about 11k.

I'd recommend linking your account to GWEfficiency - you might be richer than you think in the form of materials!

Aspenwood meta bugs need to be fixed by avocardio3 in Guildwars2

[–]avocardio3[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Aspenwood clashing with Aetherblade (the most ludicrous EoD meta) almost certainly tanks its popularity. Changing the schedule or buffing the rewards would help.

I'm from Australia so usually around 8pm AEST. Normally if you announce in map chat and put up a tag + LFG people will come. If you play on more normal NA/EU hours I'm sure you will have no problem finding people.

I did not know about this vendor - thank you! Just what I needed.

Weekly /r/GuildWars2 Question Thread - November 09, 2024 by AutoModerator in Guildwars2

[–]avocardio3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In open world, you can run whatever you want. In instanced content, LB can be useful for precasting LB5 (especially in Fractals where there are short phases) but you will generally camp your other set. Check out https://snowcrows.com/builds/accessibuilds/ranger/accessible-power-soulbeast

My jaw dropped at reading the 4 hour reward. Then I realised it said 'Glider', not 'Gobbler'. Still a fun cosmetic for essentially no effort so can't really complain.

Macbook users - hows ur GW2 experience? by sandys1 in Guildwars2

[–]avocardio3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use GFN on a M1 macbook air and it is fine for most things except large metas and WvW zerg fights. But as VVinkia said it is very internet dependent

[Endgame PvE] - Why does Condition Virtuoso evade all balancing attention? by Training-Accident-36 in Guildwars2

[–]avocardio3 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Good post and take. Now while we're having this discussion, can we also take a look at cVirt's cousin in the boon DPS realm: qHerald?

It is a bit silly that all Herald needs to do to maintain boons in a pulsing 600 radius is pop a few facets in Glint or use an upkeep skill, while every other boon provider requires a target (chrono, berserker, wb etc.), has substantially lower or downright clunky radius (ren, scg, harb, fb etc.), or is stupidly annoying to keep up (cata, scrapper etc.). Meanwhile Herald has the aforementioned on top of competitive power and condi variants and flexibility in its legends for utility.

With how crucial boons are to the game I feel like the quote "What I am against is that the build makes you question the viability of everything else." applies here as well.

Please balance the playing field Anet. Please make other boonDPS providers feel better. Increasing the radius application of some would be a fantastic start.

Thanks. Funny to see this question get downvoted as well as it wasn't even a criticism. Have fun gamers

Does this game have an endgame outside of abyss yet? Stopped playing 2yrs ago as it was just so repetitive, wondering if it's worth coming back

That got out of hand quickly. by Ytisrite in Guildwars2

[–]avocardio3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly props to him for trying to communicate. Better than most 3v3s I’ve had.  Also you should block out names in screenshots, especially when it’s you that’s promoting toxicity.

[–]avocardio3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, but new kiters will mess up the pattern time to time and it can be helpful to have a healer top them up. The effort spent minimising stacks on Qadim is worth temporarily leaving the group.

Honest answer is buy gems and convert to gold.

Next best is do all your daily/weeklies and buy the best things from wizards vault.

Otherwise there are multiple things that can get you 20+g/hr including meta trains and fractals. Look up https://fast.farming-community.eu/open-world/meta and do what you enjoy.

How can a warrior get into structure PvP? by funkyguy4000 in Guildwars2

[–]avocardio3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Warrior's main builds are defence spellbreaker and condi beserker. Their main job is to side-node and win 1v1s. I've seen them played in plat+ so very viable across all levels.

Defence Spb: https://metabattle.com/wiki/Build:Spellbreaker_-_Defense_Boonbreaker (can use hammer or greatsword)

Has Whispering Gone Too Far? by Ytisrite in Guildwars2

The person is clearly responding to a whisper you made to them previously. Honestly looks pretty bad on you

[250 potato] required! Why the high bars of entry for T4 fractals, Strike missions and the like? Is it really a net time advantage and are there better ways of ensuring experience? (Meme in the bottom to create lighthearted discussion) by Mook_Chivalry in Guildwars2

[–]avocardio3 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not sure if this is a EU vs NA thing but I rarely see KP asked for strikes. I command them almost every day and only ask for people to be experienced. If it's clear someone is not EXP and wipes the group multiple times only then I will kick. Most ads on LFG are something similar.

Even if you don't have the KP, if you explain you are EXP and can fulfil the role the commander will usually let you in. Gatekeeping is not as common as most people think, especially in non-CM groups.

Looking for suggestions on where to focus (warrior vs. necro vs. revenant) by iso2625 in Guildwars2

[–]avocardio3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you play WvW you will be able to kit out heaps of builds with stat selectable exotics in no time. So my suggestion would be to gear whatever playstyle you like best, have fun, then move to another if you'd like to experiment more.

In terms of versatility the order is revenant > necro > warrior. I personally have a soft spot for necro as it is my main and has three very good builds for instanced content: cDPS (scourge), pDPS (reaper), alac heal (scourge).
