Guild Wars 2 Roll Call

[Grallon]

I tried the fractal mist dungeon - lvl 1 - with my lvl 80 thief in full exotics - and got wiped.  Well not so much wiped as incapable of completing the objective.  First was in a jungle area where I had to gather the fireflies and bring them to a designated location...  Man the spawn rate was on steroids!  Any of you do the fotm?  Should it be done by a group?  Or is my thief too squishy?

Yes fractals have to be done in a group.  Especially that one

And the thief should be fine.  My Ele can run level 10 without agony resistance just fine.

With the sale this weekend on character slots I spent enough gold to make space for a Warrior.  Now I have one of each class, 6 at 80, Necro at 70 and Warrior at 12.

My thoughts on the last two:

Necromancer is a lot better then I thought it would be.  Yes, minion master isn't an effective build (at least not compared to Mesmer), but the ability of the Staff to set copious amounts of (unblockable with the right trait) marks as traps makes it quite fun.  I may not put out as much AOE damage as the Elementalist, but I'm significantly more durable.  Of the three light armor professions I still like Mesmer the best, but Necro makes for a nice change.

Warrior...I'm still getting used to.  Seems somewhere between a Guardian and an Engineer, although much better than the latter.  Pretty simple to play, with the primary decision making being to pick from the copious weapons that you can use.  The adrenaline powers are dull.  Useful, but doesn't add much flavor.

I leveled a Necro in WvW in the last month.  She was level 6 when I started and I hit 80 last week.  It is definitely practical to do.

I had enough dungeons tokens lying around from my other toons that I had her set up in exotics immediately after hitting 80.  Now I am trying to farm the Twilight Arbor Dungeon for Runes of the Nightmare.  I also want the human Tier 3 cultural leg armor/skirt and the Abyss Dye, which should set me back about 50 gold in total.  That is a ways off.

I just picked up this game. Anyone still around?

[frunk]

I'm still playing a bit.  There's usually just enough interesting things to do in each living story that it's been keeping me around.  I just finished leveling one of each to 80. 

Message me if you want some help.  frunkee.3962

I am on somewhat regularly also though I don't play a lot, but between Guild Missions and Living Story I am on at least one day a week.

This game needs a sale.

[crazy canuck]

I might start playing again when the weather turns shitty.  Right now my limited time for games is fully devoted to EUIV

Trial this week.

I've made a thief, I really like the art. This has production values miles & miles above Tera.

Yeah, I tried Tera shortly after you posted about it.  I played for about an hour but the whole time I kept thinking that I could be using the time to play GW.  In a few weeks when the rain really starts to roll in I might revisit the game.

The last couple Living Stories haven't been my cup of tea, but when they do something more interesting I'll probably drift back in again.

Oh yeah, I played for about 1h too & I am was wondering why I ever considered Tera seriously.

I really like the scout mechanic opening & explaining map areas.

I got a Precursor!  :yipi:

I am trying to get all 3 weapon crafting professions to 500, so threw 4 worthless Exotic Tridents into the Mystic Toilet and got the Precursor.

Now I guess I am tryign to build a Legendary.  Too bad I never planned on getting one so I have nothing at all saved up.

Im not terribly interested in the Legendary Trident but it sells for 1500g while the Precursor sells for 37g.  Cant imagine it takes 1463g to make it.

GW2 is 40% off thru the day.
