3 months from now dungeons will be a whole different ball game due to players snapping out of old MMO habits and AI streamlining. Gotta expect the first half year of any MMO is there to smooth out the kinks.
I still havent bothered to go on a dungeon run. When i do, I definitely thin it will be CM and not AC
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
I personally do dungeons for the story, not the gear (hence why I waited until 80 to do most of them). The only hard part about AC was the lovers fight since there is a huge luck factor to that encounter.

My Norn Warrior reached lvl 14 and I love her. I tried other classes, but it is so much fun to just be able to switch and choose among all the weapons.
Any good build for a warrior? I started with Discipline as I do a lot of weapon swap.

Lovers is pretty damn annoying, but boulders are OP. Whenever we run AC I keep Vassar in a corner with my hammer and a pile of boulders while the rest of my party mates finish off the other one.
With the gaf group I was in, we had an almost perfect run with those 2 lovers then one of us threw a boulder and knocked the lovers back together T.T
It took us another 30minutes to split them apart again.
So painful >.>
So I found an AMAZING jumping puzzle. Griffonrook run, in the southwest of Lornar's pass. It's STUNNING and incredibly hard, been trying for the past hour or so to beat it, got interrupted by the build update. Basically, get from where I'm standing to the point in the very end within 3 minutes and griffons along the way being a pain in the butt.

-World v. World event rewards
We're temporarily disabling rewards on Dolyak caravan escort events in World v. World while we work on rebalancing them.
I tried it one time, but I couldn't stand doing it more than once! I'm not really surprised they're changing it.

Lol. Less people for Dolyak'ing, more for WvW.
Couldn't stand the queue so I never bothered with it.
I am deep into Arms/Tactics for my bleed build. Rifle up front then switching to sword/axe or sword/shield. The amount of numbers spewing from a target with bleed stacks is sickening.
I roll with banners for support. I'm only 10 in disc for the 20% signet recharge. Tactics is banner radius, regen on banners, etc.
My goal is med-high sustained damage through bleeds and group buffs via banners/shouts.

Take the name you want and choose a nice sounding last name. Problem solved.
Finding them exploits as usual, hope you get banned for this kind of nonsense.

WTF? This can be working-as-intended for all we know. What use do you have for lvl30 dungeon gear at lvl 80? Stop putting 'exploit\ on everything.
He's just reel tawlking, no worries.
Ok, that makes sense. Didn't know you could have a last name. I've only really played WoW (no last name) and FF14 (last name required). Ha!

yea AC is a really bad to introduce players to dungeons
if AC was 'bad' then I can't wait for the rest. I've only done AC and I had a good time, even with a pug.
So without spoilers, I'm curious. Is that Fear Not, This Night song (the one on iTunes, lyrics and everything) somewhere in the game? I like the song a lot so I wouldn't mind hearing it at some point
Just been curious since I first bought the song.
I've heard it has something to do with the Sylvari and their storyline.
I did AC as well. Didn't even finish it because god that is terrible. Oneshots all over the place and most of them come from normal auto-attacks that the boss does. Self-healing almost never suffices as my Elem-Fire spec, not to mention that holding aggro seems to be a bitch.
Warrior and Guardian classes were doing noticably better, but not much.

So after some experimenting with thief weapons after discussing it today in this thread.... here my thoughts.
Pistol/Dagger: Still don't like it in pvp Seems way too cumbersome, the bleeds are nice... beyond that meh. PvE is fun. Tried redoing my traits with condition heavy damage... it just can't roll with it. I really like/need the utility acrobatics give me, as well as the stealth improvements from the shadow line.
Sword/Pistol: I have a new appreciation for this. Rolled around with it in WvW, and used it along with weapon swapping with Dagger/Dagger. Worked quite well, my only trouble is getting stuck in the 3 animation when it whiffed... and sometimes it seems people can't evade out of it after the first hit. My only complaint is you can shadow return to a keep wall... seems like such wasted potential.
Also I can't state how much I *hate* assauting/defending keeps as thief. The shortbow is lacking tons of range... and when you're on a keep wall the damn arrows will hit that tiny tiny lip infront of you....
Unfortunately not. Your best bet is go into heart of mists, try the traits on some dummies. As for that trait... it doesn't heal much at all.

I hear the lyricless version when doing Vistas in the grove...
but the song sounds like something you would hear near the end of the game or something which is why I'm asking. If it's just something to do with the Sylvari storyline only then meh. I'll hear it eventually (I like the Sylvari but the song sounds like an end-game/near end-game type of song)
Can anyone shed some light on how stat distributions on gear are at level 80?
My case is, I want to make my mesmer really tanky, and most of my trait points are going to be in toughness and vitality. I have some leftover points in precision, but my power stat is going to be quite weak.
I'm curious if I should, at level 80, get gear that has even more toughness and vitality to achieve maximum survivability, OR should I invest more into power and condition damage so I can actually deal some damage as well?
As it stands for around level 40, you can only have certain combinations of stats in gear (for example toughness with vitality, power with precision, precision with critical damage). Is this true for 80 as well?

Reckon. At least the normal restarts are straight back up, but this one didn't seem to be?
It's not downloading the new build for me. Maybe it ties in with that unscheduled maintenance?
Also, unless you really dedicate your time and money to it, you will easily outlevel your crafting. I thought I was doing well when I could craft gold items, but now I'm in an area with platinum ores!

Unscheduled maintenance ATM; was broadcasted in game earlier.
Soon you will be mining mithril ore! I laughed at the description of the level 60 mining tools which was basically, "this thing mines everything."
