I will be happy to collect all the things
depending on your laurels you could also get a set of tanky trinkets to swap out for more versatility.
I sort of doubt I'll ever craft an Ascended armor set. I hope I can get to the minimum AR needed somehow without needing a full one.
It helps out a LOT, and I want to make it a long term goal of mine.
I was rambling at some point about how the new-er AR system is so (seemingly) messy. Multiples of 5 based on the number of slots was so neat and orderly. I know I'm exaggerating the complexity of the newer system but I'm just being dramatic.
Potentially incorrect math here: I guess without armor or weapons and assuming you have the gold to blow, you can have 21 (16+5) on each ring and the backpiece. So that's 63 plus 5x3 (accessories and amulet) would be 78 as the maximum trinket only amount. Assuming the goal is 70 ar and you put 10 ar on your weaponset, you need 60 on the trinkets. 30 for the vanilla slots (6x5) means you'd need agony infusions of 10 on each to hit 70.
Currently double checking the post. Edit: I think I have it, but I'm also a dumbass.

Oh that's right. Actually potentially doable then.
Although it makes me wonder, what are you looking at in terms of the play experience if you have say 67 AR in Fractal 50, rather than 70?
Nothing too bad imo, you'll get 6% of the agony damage instead of 1% so if you watch yourself and keep your health up at bosses it won't be too bad.

I made both. One for PvE. One for WvW. Would not recommend anything without power as the primary. Mostly due to consumables and how crit damage works. If its pure PvE, I'd go full zerk. If you're worried, mix in soldier trinkets since they're easier to obtain than armor. Once you learn the mobs' attacks, you'll know when to dodge, what to reflect and all that. PvE is more about memorizing when to do stuff and where to stand.
You can either just tp it for some silver or collect some to pair up and combine into a higher infusion.

Mai Trin has already been nerfed back to easy mode. So few people got to experience that temporary level of despair.
I didn't realize they actually changed it

Hard Mai Trin's Teleporting Shot wiped us on multiple occasions. If everyone was standing close together, it was near guaranteed that they were all going down together.
And then there was her Electric Blast that would drain 50%+ of your health in a single hit. And her close range sword work was even nastier too. Bleeds, bleeds, bleeds.
Those were a couple of intense weeks of GAFractals.

Yeah we did much better than when callunah and I did fractal 1 with pugs.
I took the time to explain every part but in the end we had to let the other 3 die so callunah and I can finish the dungeon.
Great run today with my boys Vyrance and morkoh and my girls callunah and ambrel.
You can work around this with the Mumblelink stuff, but personally I haven't bothered to make mine until I see OAuth is actually happening (it's been Soon for like over a year now).
That'd be great, or some way to unlock things in a more permanent fashion (like the Radiant/Hellfire stuff).
EQ2 originally had that (and it still has a vague thing like that). It was really hit or miss though. The big problem with GW2's crafting I think is things like intermediates have no purpose/you have no reason to want to keep them, and the leveling system is just dumb.
edit:
Kasmeer Meade is formerly a noble. Kasmeer’s mother died when she was young, and her family fell on hard times when her father was murdered in debtor’s prison after spending everything to pay off the debts of her brother, Kyle, in early 1326 AE.
You ain't rich, you ain't a noble.
It's why Kasmeer has no clothes either

How's the player base in this game doing nowadays? Is there still a lot of leveling/questing going on, or is everyone just doing endgame stuff? Thinking of picking it up, but don't know if it's worth it at this point. Was having the MMO itch and decided to pick up TESO, but it just isn't cutting it for me really.
not a concern for that stuff by a long shot- join and play with us on Stormbluff Isle!
Game doesn't have "End game" by traditional standards. People are all over. The scaling system does away with the "80s do 80s content!' - If you're on the fence, wait for the game to go on sale again. Happens fairly often.

I think the spirit of the collections update today indicates that they are totally down with pursuing this kind of incremental reward style.
I think I may wait til after the feature pack to start in on making mine.
The funny thing about this for me is that by doing map completion I came across two of the items needed for that found in jumping puzzles / mini dungeons completely randomly.
Also I got one special fractal thing used in crafting it yesterday .... I think the game is trying to tell me something ...
Speaking of map completion, I have two maps to go : Iron Marches and Fireheart Rise, then ... WwW, hoping I'll get lucky during the tournament !

Thanks guys, I'll probably end up picking this up tomorrow or over the weekend. I love some of the armor and weapon models in this game. Can't wait.
Jump into each map and look for a commander. I tried doing most of the maps on my own and that sucked and took several days. Then I found a really good commander and I blasted through 2,5 maps in less than 3 hours (even though I had already done most of the POIs before). Following a Commander makes it super easy (and I suppose I've been lucky with my server being the clear leader for a long time).
David Ortiz (EU Community lead) posted this morning, and apparently it mentions something about saving build templates. The original post in Spanish can be found here. Here's the (awkward) Google translation:
Given the translation, I'm not sure if it can be taken as fact, but... well, there it is.

For those interested on old Mai, we have a video of her here. Note that at that point we were experienced with her, so it wasn't really a struggle, but you can see some stuff hitting much harder than now.

I probably have three or four different builds I use for fractals alone, so it would be nice to be able to swap between them with a simple click or two. And then there are builds for Tequatl and other world bosses, and builds for dungeons, and builds for solo PvE, and builds for WvW...
probably roxie
I would play the hell out of a massively multiplayer game that unabashedly followed that design ethos through to production. The chance of taking a wrong turn and running face first into something that will absolutely massacre you, only to come back much later and vanquish it with growth and skill, that shit hits the spot for me, Souls-style. But for sooooome people, having a boss like that in a newbie zone is just zomgsounacceptable.
Fire Ele was like the best thing ever in the Betas, but at least its current form is better than the uber-babby version we had between then and now. The bad version, I saw it die before getting a hit in while standing right next to it a couple times.
edit: Templates are a matter of time thing, sad it won't be this feature pack, but whaddyagonnado
