There are no guild missions tonight or tomorrow because of the reset change (right?) but we will still be doing our usual dungeon event tomorrow at 4:30pm EDT.

Correct, they won't be resetting Missions tonight, so anyone who got comms last weekend wouldn't be getting any tonight.
Short version, its traits were buffed and there's better trait synergy. And even if Longbow isn't OMGAmazing it can still be a more consistent ranged option than Scepter in variations of the usual meditation builds. Videos from BWE2 here and here.
F2 being a 4k heal doesn't hurt either. Still, it's probably one of the weaker specs.
Even though they've said on every single stream and during every single announcement that this is a "real" beta, it still never seems to sink in. Just like the freakin' Starbound thread.
Hey guys, are you ready for tonight's raid fin-
Not to mention there's a good synergy between 10% more damage under the effect of Retribution, Virtues line, and Retribution on heal. I've been testing out different heals to see which one would fare better, and I think Litany of Wrath is still a good'un. Shelter might also be a good one as well just because of the insane number of blocks you can get to proc (Courage also does this) and if you take the "I block and remove condis" grandmaster, you could be crazy resilient.

Trying out Thief in sPvP, it really is kill or be killed lol. I really love how you can just create a new char and jump into PvP with it though.
The condition cleanse on block is so good that I can even forgo Valor and Honor for condi removal and just use Shelter + whatever else I feel like as the majority of my condi cleanse. It also means that I can attempt to use Supreme Justice and not get punished for not taking F2->condi cleanse. I have one utility free that I'm currently trying traps on outside of Dragon's Maw. With an easy source of cripple, Whirling Blades actually becomes useable.
Whirling Blades is the best, its low cooldown is incredibly useful.
I like dropping in on foes after I've exhausted Longbow skills with Wings of Resolve, drop traps, symbol, spin to win. Stuff is usually dead by that point. I'm using Renewed Focus to recharge the virtues on demand - really great now that they're spells in their own right.

I think people are going to underestimate the fact that they're faster to drop than consecrations. And you can just leave them around and direct people through them. There's chokepoints on every PVP map that a Dragonhunter can make a fight through very difficult.

download and run it on safe mode(press F8 when starting windows)
after finishing restart and try again to install drivers, chose custom installation and select clean install.
New to the game and this post bothers me because of entitlement to something the devs don't owe them.
Reddit has a poll for their favorite Elite, and so far Reaper is handily beating everything.
Not hard to argue against. Reaper is just all around an awesome upgrade for necros. Great Sword has turned out awesome, Reaper Shroud is incredible.The Shouts have also seen nice improvements.
So far Id rank Reaper, Chrono and Druid as the top 3.

Raid being offline didn't bother me, i was very happy it was fucked up, I am ready for final game and no more beta, i tested out the newest elite specs and went back to playing my regular characters..
no deal, it seems the notebook wont recognize my card. however the dell diagnostics DID recognized it.
I voted Reaper since it basically made Necro playable for me. Scrapper is fine, but gyros being useless disappointed me. The rest of the elite specs don't really stand out for me other than Herald and Chrono.

It's hard to go back to not having Chrono abilities. I feel much more powerful and much more useful in a group with my wells and new F5. I think I'll stick with GS/Staff instead of using the Shield much though, even if 1H Sword got a bit buffed.
So I played Berserker for a bit (and happened to run into Kos testing Scrapper's downed state effectiveness), and it is pretty neat. It is a more button-heavy class compared to Warrior, and does a lot of punching and burning, both of which I also enjoy. Overall though it didn't quite seem to quite have the spark I was hoping for. It was good at what I was trying to do (stack a lot of burning with some bleeds) but it felt very... smooth, I guess. Was really hoping for a lot sharper visual impact from the Berserker animations. Despite being very burn-y and reddish-orange, it felt like a chill class to play. Needs some aesthetic push towards ferocity and speed in its movements.
Reaper on the other hand has been buffed like crazy since it was first playable. That spec can pretty much ship right now. Shouts are in a much better place, Greatsword is now a very worthy weapon addition, build options are plentiful, and aesthetics are flawless. My Norn is ready.

Welp, if anet doesn't fix this latency/ping issues I'll stop GW2-ing.

Thank you for keeping me mostly alive
Did you try using a VPN? It's probably a regional routing issue.

So the raid is up apparently? I'm watching Shinryuku on twitch try it out currently.

Amazon just dispatched my expansion, should be here on Wednesday. Wish I could have tried the beta but part of me is glad I didn't, it'll be more exciting on launch day.

I am glad Arena net is attempting to increase combat difficulty. During the canopy event people kept dying from Champion Axemaster Gwyllion attack. Nobody thought about stunning him during his long tell, until I showed up and suggested it.
Okay.... https://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/comments/3ng45v/psa_the_guild_mission_weekly_reset_delay_hasnt/
It looks like the guild mission reset may have actually happened Friday night after all. I'll check this thread in an hour or two to see if there's any new info.

Part of that, I feel, is because (And I could be wrong about this) half of the time enemies that you would want to stun, are unable to be stunned. Lieutenant Kohler, for example, can't be stunned out of his attacks. I'd much rather enemies be designed such that you more or less need to stun them out of things, than that you can't stun them out of things.
I believe it's Defiance, and I guess that's getting overhauled. Hopefully it results in tactics like these working, instead of being more or less useless.

I was talking about the new maps, with the new defiance bar. Especially given what we know about the new maps mechanics.

Right, but most people are in the habit of not even trying to stun since as it is, you really just can't stun bosses. Because it just doesn't work.
Well, that's some BS...
I just want to say again that I'm loving Reaper. The skills are so satisfying and powerful. Currently running Dhuumfire, and the amount of fire stacks just with Reaper's Shroud 1 is crazy good. Combine that with Blighter's Boon and I can pretty much keep up shroud every time it's off cooldown. So good.

Well I managed to play some of the raid as it was up last night. Squad ui broke in the middle of it so communication was not the best. We beat the three guardians and got wrecked by the boss. Checking it's health and timer, we weren't even close. I ended up quitting as it was pretty late.
Playing with a DPS Scrapper, I actually found good use for a few of the gyros. Function gyro worked quite well for reviving in the heat of the fight, and bulwark gyro helped with one of the bosses mechanics. Other than that, maintaining so much might was great.
We'll see how raids turn out, but design wise they look very promising.

*sigh* Great after reminding NERF that there be no missions... Guess that will be changed.

Are we going to do Sunday makeups as normally scheduled then? I'm not one to pass on a chance for commendations.
