B/o healing unicorn

Alright.... I decided to see if I can make it harder for myself (as one does... xD)

I wanted to see if I can do it without really running any mesmer. Attributes aren't 100% set in stone, just what I currently have in mind :p I think I might need to run AoDwayna eventually, but idk how well the healing output of it is while relying on adrenaline attacks

Alright, as you may have expected... it's Skull Crack

Did a first trial in DD HM (was a breeze, the screen above is afterwards with things I was missing or felt were lacking). This will need to be tested now, but dinner first :p First trial was a big success tho, destroyers were melting (especially with the extra 15dmg from the title :D)

Edit: Proof xd

I'm wondering if I should be unleashing this (quite unfinished) broken thing (not a secret, but I'm not too sure about practical way in VQ etc).

This is a screen of just my solo dmg... xd

(With unfinished... I had 3 skills on my bar^^ Time to unlock some more PvE skills I guess :P)

I VQ'd Grothmar Wardowns yday and then went onto Rragar's HM. There was a close call there with 33hp remaining, but still haven't died ^^! Here's v2

I noticed the R/N's energy was quite fine, so I decided to go all out with the touches (dmg was actually quite decent in this screen; after Assault on the Stronghold (reminder; melee team; rangers on top; me no touchy them; rough time :D)). But thanks to the D/Mo that I was pretty much just micromanaging to keep the party alive from the ranger barrage that was happening. Sometimes casted Shield of Absorption on the dino and it all was smooth sailing tbh. Today I also did CoF HM and actually completed it in 21mins without any issue. I noticed once I changed the Me/P to Me/Mo with just a little more prot, it is working a lot better. With this team you can really see someone get spiked and then instantly healed to full. Also most areas where most heals cant keep up (think flame darts in CoF in the middle before final boss room; yes I ran straight through there and killed the mobs). The party was at full health constantly throughout the fight even with 4-6 of the dart bois around us :D.

Side note: After running It's just a flesh wound, I noticed that heroes are VERY quick with using it to remove a condition (which I love very much as a melee ofc). Even as pretty much the only condition removal (sure Mend Body and Soul, but Life isnt always in range), it recharges very fast (I'm not sure if BU is speeding up the cd or not, it's that fast :D).

Alright, here's v1.99999999999 in action. Completed Dalada Uplands vq (31mins) and Sacnoth Valley (54mins as u can see below). I gotta admit, a few pulls were scary. Some heroes had perished, but all were gloriously rescued by the Para hero^^. A few things I will be changing: Dark Aura on the Necro; I forgot Spirit Light also sacrifices, so hero ends up using it a lot on the rit :(. Also not too sure about the Ranger BiP. AI doesn't seem to like it as much as a normal BiP.

Fun Fact: during Dalada VQ Vael was tagging along; the dude didn't die :D. All deaths happened during overaggroes where there were more than 2 eles on HM (esp burning forest part was scary; a lot of "obstacles" to get stuck on for heroes and a lot of AoE spells xd). But all that matters is that my ele is still Deathless!

Back to the top. Thanks for the offers!

wqa  G-Man R/B are met, B/O are posted. Selling tomorrow 15:00 CET

Alrighty, this is the current setup! It's been working wonders. So far things are looking like they are reaching their maximum potential. However... I am not too sure about my own build since I haven't tried anything else over Starburst yet. Judging from the numbers, Starburst will most likely be the most damage. But there are of course many more potential builds u can run.

Which is why I made a few of them (including my current Starburst build). For NM Greater Drawf Armor is quite unnecessary, however it is a melee ele afterall..... xD

My preference will probably go to either air ele. The Earth eles seem great, but WHY... WHY.... WHY is there no earth conjure? #EarthDeservesJustice&Conjure! So yeah, just put them in there for good measure, but will very likely not run those for that single reason xd

Btw, I just put in the same attack and pve skills in ,most places just for the sake of convenience. The biggest change comes from the elite skills so that's my starting point :p

any news from the new miniatures?????

Apart from the fact that it's been three weeks and no one at 2weeks or Anet has noticed that it's not part of the content or is bugged?

... No, everything's fine, the mobile app is coming soon

Could be a mobile exclusive thing 👀

Starting to get closer to getting the setup right^^ Just picked up my warrior boots so I can kick some ass:D (aka finished the fashion, now time to smash)

After today's adventure, this is the current setup:

Mostly just testing out different things to see whether they work better for me or not

Are you using str or sr axe ?

Yes. 🤣 I am using both, swapping to sr when energy is low but have to watch out since I lose armor bonus from my 5str shield xd

After today's adventure, this is the current setup:

Mostly just testing out different things to see whether they work better for me or not

The idea was to take as little as meta builds I could. I know there are way better ways to not die, but where’s the fun in that:D Also I have always preferred a protter over ST personally for the build options it offers. ST is always stuck to ST, but previously I used to run N/Mo with any elite tbh, all were viable (UA, Aura of Faith, divert hexes you name it)

Alright, trial 1 was quite a success. I did the boss quest chain to get IAU, no deaths but still the healing feels a bit off. I think 1 AoD derv might just not be enough. I have changed a few other things across the heroes. The build really is fun and it's also fun to know that you only have each prof only once in the team

Just a few sidenotes:

• R/W: Pretty much had full energy the whole time, will try a few things out to make sure we get the most out of him (i.e. take hamstring after all and/or swap Riposte for Deadly Riposte)
• P/W: Same story as R/W. Added in Awe (10 energy cost) which dazes KD'd foes -> PI synergy. Mostly curious to see how the hero will use it.
• Me/N: Swapped Arcane Conundrum for Mark of Pain. I felt like the hero didn't need the extra energy alongside a BiP (same goes for Drain Enchantment)
• D/Mo: Can easily maintain Strength of Honor on all 3 melees (can even maintain 4 with a BiP very easily).
• N/E: Dropped Jaundiced Gaze for Dark Fury (Might be dropping points here in Blood and/or Fire and also take Curses here and drop the adrenaline stuff (or atleast one of them)).
• Mo/Me: Dropped Shield of Absorption for Shield Guardian (Like I mentioned, the healing felt off. I think Shield Guardian might be a good addition to heal a bit better).
• Rt/Me: Swapped Nightmare Weapon for Warmonger's Weapon (very good rupts esp on any of the 3 melees with speedy attacks) and Lamenation for Mending Grip (again; healing).

Alright, I have changed quite a few things. Just finished setting up the heroes (mercs all runed up, just need to get weapons; except for the anni weapons got those alrdy^^).

Will start going through EotN soon to get my own Stone Gauntlets, will see how it goes

Hello,

It's me.... I've been wondering what I should do about my deathless axelementalist for fashion.... Here are some of them I came up with rn:

(not much of a mix, I know :p)

Do I need to say more?

New project:

Anniversary Melee Dhuum Ele:

The current setup I have in mind:

I am feeling very sure that I am in desperate need of more protection so I might have to change the heroes around. Atleast this is the first try at it :p

2nd row of pics, the one in the middle where you can see the NPC judging is my fav 🤣

Hey,

If you’re planning on running a certain build (like RoJ) it is definitely worth changing the comp a bit to get maximum results from your setup. RoJ for example causes scatter. A good way to deal with it, is slowing down enemies (KD/hexes). So skills like Binding Chains or Psychic Instability can be used. Great thing about PI is that even with 5FC it is a 3sec KD so you don’t have to “waste” a mesmer elite on a mesmer. If you’re looking for tips etc, feel free to hit me up:)

Hhmm, I definitely wouldn’t mind a prince that will sweep me off my feet 😇

Just bringing Winter nature ritual makes it a lot easier;)

Alright: final version!

New ranger has been created. It’s a duo project that made it extra painful. I’m glad we didnt get that far in though haha

Like I said in How did Guild Wars treat you today... it's been a rough one

So it's pretty ironic... I was working on my dhuum char.... and this is the combo that I was working on... Coincidence? Did I actually summon the guy? Guess we will never know

Rough day…. Was doing some fashion wars on my dhuums char, was wielding vamp weapon so felt smart to pop a war supply. Apparently got so focused into matchy matchy stuff that I didnt realise until dhuum took me with him. I guess the drip was just so fire that he just needed to have it. (Will post pic of the outfit in the fashion channel in a bit). Pretty much rage quit and went outside for the day 🤣

Turns out that I am my own worst enemy;)

For this post I was planning on just posting a few sets, think it over and read the comments.... But I think I actually just did it on my first try lmao xD

Alright, so the idea was to get a decent "warrior type" look for my new deathless ranger (duo with Baklawa with heroes etc but still... deathless :D). I had already made some decent attempts here and there for like 10-15mins, but now decided to actually think about it a bit before starting. I basically already had a weapon set in mind: Req7 6-27 clean Sephis Axe and Req10str Ominous Aegis -2we +30hp.

The first thing I looked through was the hats/headpieces that I had. I am very much a fun of the Tengu mask and it was my first one to try (I have tried lyssa's and horned helmet of balthazar but didn't take a liking to it as much as this one). Chest piece was next and landed on the norn one. It looked the best with the tengu mask and especially since it covers you a lot making you look more like an animal (you will see some angles where it looks really good! :D). For the gloves I went with the krytan gloves (yellow x3+black... hard to get to match qq) since the hand wielding the shield is less guarded making it seem like it's intentional (and it is ). The hand wielding the axe has the bone guard on it, which just looks great imo! The leggings was a coin flip tbh, ancient or primeval leggings. I ended up going for ancient since it was less flashy and the actual leggings were dyed white as well (primeval only had the little flap in the front dyed pretty much). Since the coat is this big, I wanted some more white into it to balance it out and make it seem more matching ^^. Finally, the shoes... Gotta go with sunspear. Elite sunspear felt too bulky with the extra spiky bits and the other ones did not match as well as these. Now... What you were actually waiting for, the pics xd

Hhmm okay I'll take it. maybe some use with the new mods xd

Logged in, started vq, like 4th mob to kill with full party and badabing badaboom xD
