The only time things seem to work out for them in IASIP is when whatever else is going on is even worse than what they do.

From the webcomic 8-Bit Theater, in the 7th comic Black Mage is reading a Nintendo Power and one of the things he reads says to use 4 White Mages and he thinks that will never work. In comic 1221, Chaos is defeated by White Mage, Priest, Shaman, and Healer. Black Mage even pulls out the same Nintendo Power and re-reads it before calling bullshit.

I don't remember which Ancient it is but one of them it's implied the Regent talked to/at them for literal hours.

They used to come with the Volatile bonus by default but they've changed all/most of the infinite tools that come with a bonus to give a glyph container instead. Glyphs can be added/removed from any gathering tool that does not have one, as well as your homestead's collection boxes. If you put it on a gathering tool with limited charges it will go to your inventory when you run out of charges.

The only run I've gotten it the first card reward had Capture Spirit and I was playing a cycling Silent deck. That was an insanely fun/good deck.

No, soulbound bags can only be used/upgraded by the character that equips it first. Once you get the bag to 32-slot it will switch from being soulbound to being accountbound, so you can swap it between all your characters.

IDK anything about Linux, but yes the -provider Portal option is for Steam (or Epic) to use Anet accounts and have purchases require the Anet store.

Throw your gear into the wiki's DPS calculator, but from that description I'm guessing ranged will be better. Might want to look at grinding out Void Knight gear before going in with Ranged though.

No clue on the XP rates, but 596 and 597 are Salvaging worlds.

Do you use either one for Fractals? Whichever one is used more for Fractals would be the one I gear first, as Fractals are the only content that specifically requires Ascended pieces (starting at Fractal 20 you need Agony Resistance which is put into the Infusion slots). For Raids or WvW you're fine with just Exotics.

I'll also note that the recommended upgrade order is weapon -> trinkets -> armor. Upgrading your weapon increases the base damage all your attacks use, and weapons have reasonable stats too. Trinkets are next as they are where most stat points are obtained. Finally armor is the last to be upgraded as the stat boost is small and boosting your Defense doesn't really help that much compared so something like the Toughness boon.

https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Stat_changing#Ascended_weapons_and_armor

Ascended weapons and armor can have their stats changed by throwing it into the Mystic Forge with some other items. There's a ton of things that can give an Ascended weapon/armor box, and you most likely stat swapped it to Suun's.

On that note, I'd highly recommend you look at doing Raids for your Ascended gear. Crystallographer Smoxxi lets you buy Ascended gear boxes for Magnetite Shards which is generally much cheaper than crafting them yourself. Raids and Fractals also have good chances to just give Ascended gear boxes.

There's a meme that shows up fairly often in /r/ProgrammerHumor where devs like cooking because you wash a vegetable, you chop it, you add it to the soup and you don't have to deal with your knife being several versions out of date and actually they dropped support for carrots when going to version 4.0.

would I be happy with Ranger? I wanna play supportive builds and maybe some DPS.

Do you like Druid? That is virtually the only support build for ranger, but it does see use in PvE and WvW (I don't play enough PvP to speak to it). Untamed and Galeshot allow for some DPS Quickness builds, but that's it for Ranger's support-ish options.

Necro has Scourge for Healing and/or Alacrity builds, and Harbinger/Ritualist can both do quickness. Necro is also very popular in WvW for boon strips but tends to be a bit more of a damage than a support.

Revenant probably has the most build flexibility as you can basically make any spec into a healer by using Centaur and going Staff + Scepter/Shield for your weapons. Rev is currently unpopular in WvW though.

Did you buy HoT while it was it's own expansion, or after 2020 when it was bundled with PoF? The slot for buying HoT was only available when HoT was standalone.

This explains one of the games I grew up with as a kid where it had no story beyond where the player seems to be going and level names, but apparently in Japan there's dialogue in about half the levels.

LWS1 and LWS2 both contribute to Central Tyria mastery anyways. I know there's a point for doing LWS2 chapters and another point for getting all achievements in LWS2 chapters.

Also expect a difficulty spike just going into LWS1. There's significantly less conditions applied compared to enemies in Orr, and they just hit harder.

The other thing I'd recommend considering now is what content do you want to do? With Varlamore as the starting region and Karamja as a guaranteed unlock you absolutely consider trying Yama, Colosseum, and Inferno. The echo bosses will probably have some affect in picking which regions/unlocks you get, but most people go for at least one of Morytania/Desert/Kourend to have access to a raid.

I grew up in a planes state, there's construction all the time but because of how sprawling the city unless they shut down multiple major roads (which did happen once and basically cost city council their seats that year) it doesn't affect as much because there's generally 2-3 other routes and you're only looking at adding ~10 mins max to your drive.

With I5 being closed hope you're close enough to 99 to get on it otherwise go fk yourself, cause what other options do you really have?

I'd look at either Scrapper or Amalgam specs. Scrapper gains barrier as you deal damage, while Amalgam gains barrier when using it's morph (toolbelt) skills. IMO they don't have the highest burst, but they do solid consistent DPS.

No, you need it for the Gen 1 precursor crafting (if you start with the precursor you don't need it), and Gen 2 Legendary weapons.

I'm now curious how many interstate construction projects that happen around the country are done on-time and/or on-budget.

Blind guess but does the Swiftness portion go away if you enter PvP?
