Arus's cannon fire causes Jon Lightning to fall through a hole and rally Vas In Mani.

I couldn't loving believe Klockwerk didn't fall through the hole when I kicked him onto it. I'm glad you caught that moment to share with the world.

So I registered on the SFD-forums the other day. How do I become a member? Do the glorious leaders have a lotto draw between applicants every week?

Also, I finally won this living story e-sports thing!

It's a total mystery and not explained anywhere. I never figured it out. SFD is pretty fly by night.

I was looking at runesets and considering Scholar runes for my necromancer, but I'm a little unsure about the interaction between the "10% damage above 90% health" bonus and Death Shroud. Does it still work if, say, you have full health but are at 50% life force in Death Shroud?

I figure it works like I'd expect it to, but considering how much people I'm partied with freak out sometimes when I shroud and they see my lifebar swing around wildly, I want to make sure.

Yes. It works off your actual HP bar while you're shrouded.

That seems to apply to anything regarding HP, for instance warrior sword 3 will do its double damage on a DS necro as long as the regular HP bar is below half.

no it didn't take two hours of spvp to figure that out only one hour

Expansion already came out actually, it was about an evil mastermind named Scarlet Briar.

So tonight SFD took a tower in WvW and held it heroically against a vicious Dragonbrand onslaught for hours, defeating every single one and coming out victorious.




Highlights included:
-All wall sections being destroyed and DB not even realizing it and continuing to catapult us
-Owning like every single goddamn wave because we rule
-Sea of Sorrows flipping their garrison because they were so intent on dying to us

Seriously, how is DB so loving bad at WvW, it was like bronze league level out there.

Well you could set the look to a single set of gear and never have to change it for one with higher stats

That is only making me want to get levels less! I've got level 60+ equipment and I am not spending a copper on armor until level 80. Especially not since transmutation doesn't carry runes along anymore. :mad:

How effective is litany of wrath for dungeon running, in practice? By my notes, to heal as much as shelter (both have 30s cd, and even discounting the mitigation of shelter's block) you would have to do at least 16.5k dmg over 6 seconds. Maybe that's possible on trash pulls with aoe, but I don't see that coming close on a single fight, except maybe with full zerker gear, 25 might stacks, and some vulnerability on the boss.

Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate. The bombs are guaranteed to always hit the ground.
Slightly more useful than healing breeze and doesn't even come close to Signet of Resolve or Shelter. It's the casting time that basically kills it for any and all game modes.

Because, you know, the devs don't want heals in this game without a casting time (like healing signet).

If you think guardian meditations are terrible, you either have a bad build or just suck in general. They're amazing and the best guardian build.

Arus buddy I respect your right to play how you want and gear/spec however you wish, because that is the quintessential spirit of the game. But I have far too much respect for you and integrity to lie to your face by saying you aren't a colossal heap of trash.

Here's my concise guide to maximum effective Guardian play in PvE.
  • Slot the "Wall of Reflection" utility skill.
  • Use the "Wall of Reflection" utility skill as appropriate.
  • Watch 2-4 greatsword Warriors take care of party might, vulnerability stacking, and damage.
  • Drop light fields.

For real though, I'm incredibly useful to groups, even if I don't output berserker level damage. I can survive through things that own the poo poo out of you (I see it every time we group), and poo poo out boons and group utility, and have saved your goddamn sorry rear end on many occasions. You're wrong as gently caress JQ.

Also the day I spec for maxing out DPS instead of fun is the day I quit this game.
