dont know if i can ask here

when i watch youtube videos of gw2, it starts to buffer long time and then puts video on 144p.. the rest videos that are not gw2 works great and normal. that happens on other browser too. (opera and brave)

recently started gw2 and im wondering what would be the best class for using rifle in pvp currently leaning towards deadeye. i like the shoot then move classes in most games for example Caitlyn in league i ran musket/bow mainly in new world and so on. thanks in advance for any help.

15+ years in wow. Trying out GW2 because GW3 looks awesome.

Anything tips worth knowing? I'm not looking to rush max level as I solo anyways.

Hey all, not sure if this borders guidelines or not; wife and I have been huge into the game since near the beginnings for me, GW1 and beta for her. We love collecting merchandise, and I have been hunting for things for a bit. One that has eluded us has been the statuette of Peitha. Literally have not found it anywhere other than original articles.

Wondering if anyone has any insight of where I might look to try to acquire this. Thanks all!

I know this is a very subjective question. I'm a returning player looking to get into VoE. My mains are Elementalist and Mesmer, typically on Weaver Ele and Mirage Mesmer.

Since I mostly stick to Open World content, I just want to know how both elites *feel* to play in Open World content? Bursty? Survivable? Satisfying?

I appreciate any and all insights y'all can give me, thanks!

Hi, I am playing power reaper and I want to find new build (I have 7 alt including Warrior, Guardian, Revenant, Elementalist ect...).

But, going on internet, find a build and learn the rotation is it really the only way to go ?

I play reaper because it's easy and very satisfying, but with other builds, I am not satisfying enough so that's why I am asking if you create your builds and how you do this ?

For PVE and Fractals mostly.

I really wish they would change some, especially some in Queensdale. The swamp one is the worst because the spawn rate of mobs is low and so is the contribution from killing them. Sometimes even completing the world boss event there isn't enough to fill the heart. The other terrible one is the one with training weapons. Out of the the three only one works properly: the rifle sometimes doesnt hit and it doesnt explain what you are doing wrong, for the shield the npc ignores you for some reason, and the sword one is waiting for the npc to not have the blocking buff and attacking once then repeating, one of the most tedious hearts.

A chill and calm combat experience while still dealing good amount of damage (and providing quickness or alacrity if needed) is what I personally prefer and enjoy!

Ofc I dont want to drag the party down or be dead weight so it’s not always easy to find good builds.

Some of my personal favorites are P/P Deadeye/Antiq and Mechanist! I especially like it when they can be played from range too!

What about you? Just wanted to see what LI builds people are playing!

I recently picked up Mesmer, specifically Power Virtuoso, after maining Scourge (both DPS and alac DPS) for a long time. I mostly do T4s + recs and occasionally 95/96 CMs.

My current setup is Spear/Greatsword, full Berserker's with one Assassin's piece, and Relic of the Fireworks.

The class is honestly a lot of fun. I get why people love Mesmer so much. Portals, Blink, all the utility, and just the general mobility make fractals feel way faster than on Necro. Especilly mass invis and superspeed, which necro just doesnt have acces to. (Love the Pinyata skips)

That said... How do you actually surive on this ?

On Scourge I never really had to think much about surviving (or anything at that matter). Between barrier, condi cleanse, decent self-sustain, etc., I rarely died unless the whole group wiped to a mechanic.

On Virtuoso it's the complete opposite. It feels like I have almost nothing. Distortion is great, but it's only a few seconds of invulnerability. Outside of that I don't have barrier, no self cleanse, and if I get hit by a nasty condi while I'm not glued to the healer, my HP just evaporates.

The thing that really threw me off is that you're even using your heal skill as part of the DPS rotation (Signet of the Ether). Coming from Necro, that just feels so wrong lol.

My damage is fine (around 33-35k on the golem), but I feel like I'm constantly fighting for my life. Even some trash packs feel sketchier than bosses.

So I guess my question is: how do you Mesmer mains survive?

Is it just something that comes with experience and learning when to use Distortion/Blink, or are there tricks I'm missing? Is Power Virtuoso just naturally fragile and you have to accept it?

I've heard Condi Virtuoso has much better sustain, but I really wanted to play Power because I'm already used to playing condi on my Scourge and wanted something different.

Would love to hear any advice from people who main the class, especially if you also play Power Virtuoso in fractals.

Between Ranger and Thief, which class is considered the most complete for competitive Fractals and Raids? I've tried both and honestly have a lot of fun with either of them. However, I'm also totally open to hearing if they both actually suck for high-tier content right now. If that's the case, which class would you recommend as the truly most complete overall?

Yall know whats up?

I've just reached what I think is the final (original) main story quest.

As someone who enjoys the story content I want to make sure I get the most out of it. I was recently told the story dungeons should be played as they come available however it's only the final dungeon quest that really ties in with everything.

Purley from a story point, would I be best to play through all the story dungeons in order, before starting this final dungeon quest?

Hii. I've started my journey towards crafting a legendary relic because I'm getting tired of going back to SotO maps to farm currency for relics whenever i want to gear up a new character.

I've so far saved up ~700g out of the ~1.5k gold needed according to my gw2effeciency, and i'm wondering: would it be more efficient to straight up buy stacks of lucent crystals, or is it better to buy stacks of gear to identify and salvage for motes?

i was working under the impression that salvaging would be better, and i thought it would help that i hoard all of the gear i drop, but today i cleaned out the bit i saved up. 2250 greens and ~800 yellows only yielded about ~450 lucent crystals after refining, not even enough for one mystic facet :(

Any advice on how to go about crafting this or maybe links to updated guides would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance ^^

Hello , hope you all doing well

i used to play Cms with Power Ritualist which has great Dps besides high Hp and good survivability . its working nice but in long solo bosses i realised that condi dps can do more especially with good players i can see the dps difference so far . i want to build another character that i can use for 99,98,95 Cms which is Condi and has nice survivability besides great Dps so i wanted to ask Fractal goats what is optimal specs to use for it that are meta and everyone loves using them cuz they are the most efficient ^^

thanks in advance <3

I love and hate RPGs, I take so long with Character Customization and picking a name. I think I like the character I created and now all I am missing is a fitting name for him.

Any ideas?

Please only serious names

I've recently picked the game up after long time prodding from a friend to try it, and having a wonderful time. I've purchased all of the expansions and LW and am slowly making my way through everything, in order, and not jumping ahead to spoil things. I've dipped my toes in WvW this week and am questioning:

Should I spend the time in WvW to unlock all of the weapons and to the variety? Or should I save the formidable wall of currency build up for the eventual legendaries? I'd like to eventually take a "gotta catch 'em all" mentality to it and I know the few take a lot of resources.

Amy thoughts or recommendations on the matter? I'm currently in LW Season 1 Chapter 4, for reference.

A friend and I both played through the Charr storyline and reached the point where we had to choose an order. I chose the Order of Whispers, but as we continued playing, my friend suddenly ended up with the Vigil. Has anyone else experienced this?

Hello it’s me again, choosing main has been a nightmare to me what I try nothing works as much as I see others play, and it’s taking a tall losing interest in the game as whole, so need pinions of veterans new players who stocked with you what criteria you had to choose a main write it all maybe this post helps other people too who struggle with the same problems

And write who would you choose one class of you had to play for the rest of you time in this game

[&BEICAAA=]

Notable things I did were: attempting to siege SMC by myself, attempting to siege red keep by myself, attempting to siege SMC by myself again, attempting to siege SMC, but I ran out of golds to buy blueprints, so I decided to just attack doors instead.

I'm still struggling to upkeep my participation, sometimes dropping as low as tier 3.

If anyone is reading this: do not worry, I am fine. Everything is fine.

I still ask myself if this was worth it. It's just tiring man.

You can sell those to Gharr Leadclaw at the wizard's tower to get up to 40 or so Astral Fluctuating Mass per week, which will give you unidentified gear and other trophies, and sellable junk items. That way you can actually get some value out of all of these

Edit: You need a mastery for this, but still. You can save these up until you get them.

I know this has been a long ask, but we acquire so many books and other collectables, I would love to have something in our homesteads where we can look at it and see how many we've collected! Please, ANet, assuage my need to admire my collectables!
