The rotation that works best for me is the 1 autoattack with an axe on a warrior. I use full berserker gear and 30 points in the fourth row down on the skills or whatever it's called, the one with the banners. It heals me which means I can keep doing damage, and I don't have to push a button for it all the time (except once to put down the banner I have it bound to 7). Also I don't have to dodge because I get all my health back. I think I put 15 points in the third row down so I get more health back. The berserker gear lets me do damage but everything happens automatically.

Does anybody have a better healing build? It has to do good damage but also not die if I need to go and get some more water (I get thirsty)

Can anyone tell me what the skimpiest armor available is for heavy armor-wearing male norn? Looking for a chestpiece and legs, ideally exposing the whole chest. Not wearing a chestpiece is ideal, but suboptimal. Closest thing I can come for the legs is Nentor Heavy Leggings, and I recall seeing some chestpieces which were just a pair of straps, but I don't know what they're called.

It'll be one of the gladiator sets. One of them is purchased with karma in the 25-35 ish zones, the others are the (I think) Devona's named exotics that you'll probably have to buy on the TP.

'Named' and 'Pit Fighter's' on this page:

Ah, thanks! Named chest is what I'll go for, then.

Still not sure about the legs though - Nentor is a skirt and it even colours your underwear, so that's one good option.

Actually, might also go for boots, if anyone has any recommendations? Uggs are funny.

This is some bullshit, females have access to a non-trenchcoat medium armour chest. Why is it ok for girl characters to flaunt their curves and have their tits hanging out of form fitting leather and my twinky Sylvari thief can't do the same? Unless the next set of medium gem store armour consists of a leather harness and hot pants for the male variant, I can only conclude that ArenaNet is an organisation of REVERSE SEXIST HITLERS.

Seriously though, I want a way to use the Krytan legs in such a way that you can actually see them, and it sucks to realise that for female characters the whole conundrum is solved by literally equipping the rest of the Krytan set.

Pretty much ignore anyone who says to roll -insert fotm class- use whatever class you enjoy the most. SFD did a 23 minute 4 man run of AC with 2 players below the recommended lvl, gw2 isn't difficult enough where this poo poo matters and we're not exactly pros at the game either.


Staff and Wells is the standard necro wvw setup.

Was that the path 3 run or the path 1 run? I was in the path 3 run and I noticed neither the party composition nor the clock.

Re: fotm classes, warriors have great passive defense while guardians have excellent active defense. Play a warrior if you're an idiot, pick up the passive healing abilities if you're bad, and play a guardian if you want to actively play the game. As a bad idiot I play a regen warrior. Works good for me.

Was going great on assbot on Blackgate, then 'disconnected' and couldn't get back in. Thanks, Anet!

where the red fern gropes
Aug 24, 2011


The problem I have with the marionette fight is this:

1) At the entrance of a lane, I'm fine, everything's working great.
2) At the end of a lane (near the portal), I am not fine. Culling being disabled means that info is somehow being transmitted from the ends of every other lane resulting in an absolutely monstrous amount of skill lag, which stacks. The longer I stand at the end of a lane, the longer the delay between pushing a button and the button working.
3) The pods are also really close to the ends of each lane, so I lag there, too.

The coding for how the data is transmitted is crap, because instead of acknowledging that "alright, that enemy is over here now" the game plays catch-up. If you have 20 seconds of skill delay, and then suddenly all that delay goes away, the game will show you what happened 20 seconds ago. 20 seconds later, it will show you what was just happening, which also happens to be 20 seconds ago by the time you catch up.

Second questions : is there any other reason to do so than Goons? (I mean, is Maguuna considered a good/crap server by other parties)

The 'quality' of a server depends entirely on what you're looking for. There are a number of high-tier servers such as Blackgate (kill bosses server), Tarnished Coast (asura sex roleplay and miscarriage server) and Jade Quarry, all of which have high presence in WvW. While there you can experience the highs and lows of serious boss runs, sending in applications to high-tier raiding guilds in the hopes of experiencing harder content, and eventually quit due to frustration and lack of interest at the constant champ trains and anal glassings or whatever it is you kids do to make money.
