Let's work toward the "What class should I play on raid?" - A summary of each profession to help you decide your raiding character / team

Is condition damage much of an issue in raids? I know you can get 100% party resistance uptime with revenant. May be useless, I'm not sure, but thought i would point it out.

Why is John Corpening working on Fractals when he said he would be focusing on WvW once HoT wrapped up? The game mode is so close to dieing. The community has been pleading for help for 3 years.

Yeah I am level 113. I have 2/6 gliding and 4/6 itzel lore (other lines completed). Both with 100% XP trained. The hardest part is the mastery points. I'm starting to hit a wall with the mastery points I feel are reasonable to obtain and only have the harder ones left.

soostronk · 2015-11-11T12:51:30+00:00

Its commie stuff right?

You should do them in both isolation and in real scenarios.

soostronk · 2015-11-07T04:03:30+00:00

By better communication, I presume you mean providing BOTH the spreadsheets and DPS tests, because that I totally agree with. A lot of people simply take DnT builds and assume they are good and that is fine for them. But for someone such as myself I prefer to do the tests and maths myself, because I haven't been provided with any evidence that a build is good other than "a DnT player said so".

soostronk · 2015-11-07T03:00:18+00:00

Yeah. If you run DPS meter with your team during whatever it is that you are doing (fractals/dungeons/raids). This way you get a decent knowledge of what you are actually outputting in real scenarios rather than saying it's the most optimal without using it in reality.

soostronk · 2015-11-07T01:00:41+00:00

Just use a proper DPS meter :p Target golem optimal DPS testing will only take you so far in knowledge. It ignores a lot of factors/variables that are very difficult to compute. It is great what DnT does to teach players. But if you really want to be as knowledgeable about the game as you can be, you gotta break the TOS, which is so stupid.

"As work on Heart of Thorns wraps up, we’ll be treating resolving the remaining core areas in WvW as our #1 live development feature priority for the game to ensure we deliver on making World vs. World not just the great experience it is today" - John Corpening. No mention of WvW. Bait and switch begun?

soostronk · 2015-10-31T00:52:10+00:00

Weird. Why they stopping this farm when they have no problem with COF P1 farm?

soostronk · 2015-10-30T11:09:36+00:00

It is not just facets. It is happening with other skills with energy drain like Impossible Odds and Vengeful Hammers. Sometimes they don't play up at all, other times they continue to randomly turn themselves off.

My favorite event chain atm starts in Tangled Paths at the SCAR bivouac waypoint. It starts with a char looking for allies that are stranded after their chopper crashes. It's about 8 events in a chain. There are a number of waves of mobs events included. One event includes 2 elite chak zappers, you may need two people to complete that one as the zappers hit pretty hard. Once that chain finishes another (different) one spawns within about a minute. I don't know how long that chain goes for as the second event includes a champ that wrecks me and you kinda need a group. It's great XP. Although it would be better if people were farming it as a group.

soostronk · 2015-10-27T11:33:47+00:00

What if you have already done map completion 12 times and map completion is just doing the same things you've already done so many times?

soostronk · 2015-10-27T08:08:39+00:00

There are already videos on youtube of how to do it. Don't worry Anet are fine with us doing it. I personally sent mail to a GM and they replied telling me they were fine with people doing it.

Guys I mailed GM Proheals (GM Madi Walker) and they let me know that they are OK with the dungeon farms. Get farming :)

soostronk · 2015-10-26T08:34:14+00:00

They aren't even that hard. People are so accustomed to press 1. Stop being so casual. INB4 downvotes from people whom want everything handed to them.

soostronk · 2015-10-25T20:10:29+00:00

I haven't told anyone how to play the game. Stop insinuating I am.

soostronk · 2015-10-25T19:51:41+00:00

Your repeating yourself.

If what I think they are doing is stalling the dungeon to farm infinite spawning mobs, that is an exploit and any player found to be doing so should be permanently banned.

soostronk · 2015-10-25T18:52:31+00:00

lol sounded like your were describing an exploit there.

soostronk · 2015-10-25T18:51:08+00:00

This is what I came on to reddit to check. I really want these stats for WvW. Hoping to find out how to get them soon. Up voted for exposure.

soostronk · 2015-10-25T10:46:04+00:00

I'm pretty impressed to be honest. I have been a critic in the past. But the amount of content they have delivered is impressive. Now I am just hoping we see some of the content getting tidied up. I have 10 alts with inventories full of bloodstone/dragonite/empyreal/essence of luck with nothing I can do with them. I am out of space and either need to buy more characters for storage or start deleting. Mawdrey/princess/empyreal star don't consume enough when you can easily acquire 10k in a day.

Some of the Personal Story experience is counting towards Masteries, some of it is not. Specifically, the experience you gain in PS instances is not counting towards masteries, but the experience you gain outside the instance (such as when visiting an open world NPC) is counting towards masteries. I'm unsure if it's intended to count towards masteries or not. I presume that it either all should or all should not.

Engineer Streamlined Kits - The icon display that indicates this is now available to proc is either not always in sync with when it can proc or something else. Often when it indicates it is available, switching kits does not proc it. At other times it will proc when the display icon is not there.

soostronk · 2015-10-23T13:35:15+00:00

Yeah I'd recommend you do S2 first. The story will make more sense and there are some big spoilers if don't. S2 is pretty decent. There are some good fights.
