Magnets are my only weakness.
"Finishing the Tower of Nightmares meta-achievement will reward the player with a personal Krait Obelisk Shard, a place of power for their home instance. It can be used to obtain a skill point and to charge Quartz Crystals once per day."

Does this mean a skill point per day in your home instance? I dunno what quartz crystals are, but a free skill point might actually get me to go there to mine candy corn.

Meh, i don't understand the quartz thing and will probably rarely use it

^^^ Skillpoint is onetime, but the place of power is reusable once per day to make charged quartz. Celestial gear for everyone!


What the gently caress is that, some kind of glowing bug?

The light blue stuff only shows up when wielded. When stowed, the shield is just the dark, plant-like portions.

Gosh, I haven't even thought about end game yet. I'm not sure if this game rewards or fuels my ADD. Right now it's "heading for a hear-ooh, a vista. Ok, going to finish this hea-ooh, a special eve-ooh, a skill up challenge."

Seriously thanks, though. I'll definitely need to research solid warrior WvWvW builds.

I found a build on the GW2 forums:

You essentially keep in melee range of whatever target you want to kill, and spam bombs that heal you, becoming very difficult to kill. Is there something terribly wrong with this build, as I'm tired of tossing grenades at 1400 hoping they hit what I'm aiming at through the lag.

What exactly constitutes the leg portion of that medium set? Unless the boot part is actually the legs and not the feet, it might just be skivvies.

Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground.

I'm pretty the blade of the weapons are translucent water that goes away when not being wielded so they could look amazing in game.

I have been running this build on my engineer for a very long time. It not the best damage at all but my thief buddy loves me as he can sit in melee range almost every boss fight. The gear choice is spot on as well, however I chose different runes (some healing crap I forget, probably Water). It's very tanky but people (pubs) will hate you for not having berserker gear. Run dungeons with goons instead!

edit: Cleric's gear + Dwayna Runes.

Lieutenants (alternatively, Silvers or Elites) are a type of foe most often found inside dungeons.

I know what lieutenant mobs are, I'm referring this this patch note: * The Toxic Alliance is the toughest force yet, and their arrival brings with it the debut of the elite species type. With its difficulty level situated between a veteran and a champion, elite enemies are designed to challenge small groups of players outside of group instances.

If that's just a way of saying 'some of these mobs will be lieutenants' then that seems kind of dumb to call it a debut of a new type.

Well that was a nice 10 gold from doing the new Kessex plant stuff for a couple hours since the patch.

After the events you harvest the pristine spore poo poo, and for quite a while there it was selling up to 7s apiece on the trading post. I regret turning in the first 25 or so to Marjory, after I realized they weren't bound I just sold them as I looted them. The price is dropping fast though, so sell before it bottoms out.

I'm level 19. I've been switching between bombs, grenades, and pistol skills on the fly between each's respective cooldowns. Things die and I think I'm fast but then I see a warrior or a rogue kill something(s) and I cry inside. :saddowns:

I'm going to have to pickup a plant-lightsaber weapon or two for my Sylvari Guardian. I wish they would make more weapon that look different when stowed like these. I know there are a couple out there now, current favorite is the Whispers Greatsword (foldy sword woo!). What's with all the feathers for light armor?

As someone who has a guard and warrior at 80 and a 21 engy.... dunno what you're on about my bombs blow the poo poo out of everything.

Make sure you have a sigil of bloodlust and 1 rune with 10 power in each armor slot = +175 power you probably wouldn't normally have.
