/vm/ — GW1 - Guild Wars 1

>>2505540 (OP)
was r/w sword guy using of the +5 str

>>2505595
Not sure, unfortunately I only grabbed the build and not the exact specifics of gear. I'll ask him next time, but +5 str is probably optional, main benefits from running prot strike is it allows you cancel the end lag from your attacks due to it having an activation time. So when you finish your attack you activate it which causes you to instant attack again allowing you to do 2 melee hits very quickly. If you've ever played dagger spammer, all the dagger spammer attacks have a similar activation time effect.

The bonus damage from hitting a moving target is not really why you run it.

>>2505595
I was not, however it is something you should run if you wanna max out the dps.
>>2505634
You wouldn't run it just because of prot strike, it gives 5% armor pen on every attack skill, which is very good on a very spammy build

I only play this game to play monk with other human players. Playing healer/support feels like boring dogshit in other games, but GW manages to make it fun.

Fun class.

>>2506710
Not enough skills and doesn't benefit for secondary classes: too repetitive
Also impossible to make your character not black/brown

idea: introduce full clears to zb like a full fow clear for a whole lot of coins

>>2506710
uoh

>>2507031
My Dervish is Mediterranean.

Swallow the NVBIAN pill.

>>2507243
are you fucking with me

>>2507243
Idea: no.

>>2507746
why?
>>2507918
okay so you are fine with adding signet of spirits heroes to pre but can't have a full fow clear 3x the regular zcoin reward? give me your coordinates I'll come and strangle you

>>2508347
>okay so you are fine with adding signet of spirits heroes to pre
where the fuck did I say that, nigger?

>>2508347
not guy you are replying to but what a crazy strawman lol

I don't know why you phrased it like you did, we already have a category of missions for killing all the enemies in an area, it's called vanquish. It'd be nice if they added more areas to the game to the vanquish list, DoA vanquish would be insane though, that's like 800 enemies~.

>>2508388
bro did you just seriously post a screencap of a twitter post
>>2508384
stfu bitch
>>2508385
I think it would be cool to add fow and uw to the mix, not just a few quests from each. otherwise zb is 80% random literally who bosses
you already have doa and slaver's piecemeal

>>2508436
yeah you're a fucking retard

>>2508443
ur so mean </3

>>2508347
>why?
if full clear means doing all of a dungeon, every eotn dungeon including slavers has bounty quests for the final boss, plus ones for kanaxai and the deep. only dhuum, fow, mallyx aren't bounties, and other bosses in those zones are
if you mean clearing all the groups in a zone, there are zvqs
you are at most talking about 3 long areas in the game being kludged into a system that already works. take the khobay, priest, lich bounties and there's your 3x points

whats so great about zcoins anyway

>>2509681
you can make fancy skins for your pvp chars use to be able to make 60/60s but they fixed that finally

>>2509681
you can get a special rune of holding which gives +5 more space in bag slots for 15 total space per bag, and +5 space for belts for total of 10. You can also get heavy equip pack which has 20 slots.

I was playing a lot and having fun leveling my RMo then one day a month or two ago I didn't log on and haven't since and now I'm sad.

>>2509681
with zcoins you can go from 20+5+10+10+5=50 inv slots to 20+10+15+15+20=90

>>2509458
people barely do mallyx anyway and you already have each part of doa as a zb, it's only uw and fow that you have like two or three quests out of the entire area
>if you mean clearing all the groups in a zone, there are zvqs
no retard I'm talking about the chest so all quests
>you are at most talking about 3 long areas in the game
ok and? God forbid we play the game
>>2509681
it's not about zcoins but finding pugs or exposing people to these two missions they would otherwise likely not do
zaishen stuff is pretty much the only way to find people to do content with and people will not do fow or uw unless they are in a dedicated guild in the first place

>>2511274
fow and uw have been power crept to irrelevance and with the new dungeon dropping crystallines and eternal blades there's even less reason to do uw now theres just nothing hard about either one except a few quest they need updated

>>2511412
yeah but ectos are back on the menu

>>2511412
they are fun____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Reminder to everybody that one week after tomorrow (June 2nd) is the guild's 16th anniversary. We should do something even if we log in and circlejerk at the guild hall for ten minutes.

>>2511723
yes they are we normally do a 4/4 split just to make it interesting in fow

>>2511800
fow run all melee either warrior or dervish no monks

>>2510013
>>2510185
but thats like a lot of work just to be able to pick up a few more low value items on a vanquish or something

>>2511961
its nice for late game when you have multiple weapons + cons/pcons

I don't know what those retards at 2weeks have done to break Hero AI but they need to revert the entire game back to before the reforged update and and leave the game the fuck alone. Nobody wants their faggot hands touching it, we were happy before.

>>2512131
I hope they don't listen to people like you

>>2512156
Rude.

>>2512131
welcome to every guild wars update from nightfall launch onward
>>2511961
you want that extra space if you want to experiment with different builds.

now if he would just nerf derv mes air eles all pve skills or only allow 1 per bar and cut the benefits from cons/pcons in half the game could heal

you can't stop me from running splinter barrage

>>2511831
>>2511723
FoW is the only elite area dungeon that I feel has been power crept to irrelevance which is why I almost never run it because you have to go out of your way to avoid running anything remotely meta to make the run even slightly interesting.

On that note - I mentioned this ingame, but in a week or 2 we're going to do a 4/4 HM FoW run. For those unfamiliar, we'll be a party of 8 and split into 2 teams of 4 to go clear FoW out.

The reason to do this is because it's far too easy to role compress counter everything FoW throws at you in an 8 man party (especially when most enemy parties are between 3-6 enemies). In a 4 man party you need to spend more time considering your role as opposed to just turn brain off and spam buttons off cooldown DPS. Individual player actions carry a lot more weight and feels more satisfying to bring a good off meta build that can carry a party through difficult segments.

Start considering your builds, it'll be 1-2 weeks from now.

>>2511961
Not as much as you think, I like to grab the big 200+ coin bountys/vanquishes and save them until a double week to turn in for 400 coins. Not to mention you can join real players to do dungeon ZBs and other end game areas as opposed to playing with heroes.

>>2512356
you forgot bip and st

>>2512372
>but in a week or 2
a week from tomorrow?!?

>>2512356
Nerf Maelstrom.

>>2512380
it'll be either June 6th~ or June 13th

>>2512373
Wishlist:

Nerfs:
1) Nerf splinter weapon (too much damage for low investment)
2) Revert Fast Casting (reducing recharge is retarded)
3) Reduce AoE circles of many mesmer dom magic skills (no reason cry of frustration should be an AREA armor ignoring 70 damage AoE rupt)

Buffs:
1) Make Strength give 1.5 pen per attrib
2) Buff Water and Earth magic support skills
3) Cut all dagger attacks with a recharge over 4 seconds in half.

I do have to wonder if
>REFORGED IS BAD BAD BAD anon
is the same as
>THEY ANNOUNCED GUILD WARS 3 anon
luhmao

>>2511274
>no retard
pretty funny when it's from trying to decipher your thought process, asking for a new boss bounty quest for the single area in the game without a final boss. you're infectiously retarded

what about an endless dungeon mode where you start with a random set and unlock skills and heroes as you go

>>2512585
I need to finish up my pitch for sealed deck pve and post it on the wiki suggestions thing

>>2512433
I think they've soft announced GW3, just by the volume of positions they've opened, and the investor calls. I don't think reforged is bad though, other than this pussy footing around shit. They should go the OSRS route, and be willing to change the game as it was, and more importantly add much more content than they've done. I get they're slowly building up the tools, but they need to lean into it. Make BIG changes and just do not give a fuck about pve hero meta, pvp HoH meta, arm barons, or anything. They can always just roll back to earlier balance patches if they need. Economy can't be undone but as long as the average player is fine, it's okay.

>>2512999
It's clear that they have been focusing less on content and more on systems to support handheld and mobile. With the hiring of Linsey Murdock, I expect there to be more actual content coming eventually.

>>2513245
>With the hiring of Linsey Murdock
-_-
>and DOCTOR Stephen's tard-wrangling
O_O

>>2513245
So are they going to fix the snow effect in shiverpeaks? I can't imagine that not killing a phone.

>>2512533
>I can't possibly imagine a scenario where they add a bundle of fow / uw quests to zb because it... doesn't have a le boss at the end!!!
>it's le bounty... so there has to be a le boss...
that's crazy bro they definitely don't have the *unlocks a hero in pre* resources to do that that's just *does the new dungeon* impossible dude forget about it

>>2514068
Turn off Enhanced Draw Distance

Elementalist is my cutest character but holy shit is it miserable to play on anything with even the slightest bit of armor.

Dear guildmates, it is Zashen Mission week this week, and today's mission is a cool one, Dunes of Despair. It would be great if we could group for this. Let's try in an hour?
