    Noob calculates the value of all legendary weapon types - before the armory drops

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 11:01 PM PDT

    Hi! Since the armory is just days away, I want to calculate the value of all types of legendary weapons for swapping between builds. Like how much convenience it brings you. So here's how I do it:

    The game modes investigated here are Open world PvE, Fractals, raids and WvW. OW includes all OW content ranging from personal story to events to boss soloing. WvW includes both zerging and roaming.

    I use a score system and put builds that use that weapon into four categories:

    • Popular meta: 3pts; a popular meta build that uses this weapon as a main weapon. Popular is subjective; builds that are popular with low intensity players and newbies, like Power Reaper, and various Guardian builds, and/or that it could be used on different builds that are also great, etc are considered here, but it's still very subjective.
    • Meta: 2pts; just ... meta. Higher than 1pt, but lower than 3pt.
    • Niche: 1pt. This one is messy. It includes a lot of things I feel not as "meta" as the 2 point category. Maybe this build is only for WvW or a few bosses in raids – since the most popular activities are probably OW, fractal and strikes; maybe you can easily get away with using another stat combo (like viper for power builds) or another weapon in that build; or that this weapon isn't all that important to the kit, etc.
    • Non-meta (but supposed to work that way): 0.5pt. example is Power MH dagger for necro.

    Point assignment and whether one is considered meta here is very subjective, but in the end, math itself isn't subjective; it is just adding things together.

    Also, Power can mean berserker or marauder depending on content, as well as condi can mean Trailblazer or Viper, heal can mean minstrel, harrier, magi, shaman, etc depending on build. Pahua is mostly used for open world boss solos, but you can usually get away with using half viper/half Pahua. So I won't specifically mention those unless there are some specific meta WvW roamer that use full Trailblazer and so on. This part is again subjective and can lead to errors.

    Since there are a lot of subjectivity, and that my understanding of the meta is thoroughly limited, feel free to point out my errors and why I'm wrong.

    Underwater weapons are also not considered here, since most underwater combat content are below level 80 (other than UW fractal) and your weapon gets scaled down to exotic anyways, and you can always use cheap sigils like xxx slaying.

    So, without further ado, here we go.

    Two handed:

    GS: 13pts

    • Popular meta: Power Guardian, Power Reaper
    • Meta: Power Ranger, Power War, Power Mesmer
    • Niche: Minstrel Mesmer

    Staff: 23pts

    • Popular meta: Harrier Guardian, Condi Mesmer
    • Meta: Minstrel Guardian, Diviner/Harrier Rev, Harrier Druid, Power Daredevil, Heal Ele
    • Niche: Power Guardian, Power Ele, Power/heal/Cele Nec
    • Note: this one is very messy, but I think everyone can agree the staff is very versatile on many classes, so useful for many stat swapping.

    Hammer: 6pts

    • Meta: Power Scrapper
    • Niche: Power Guardian, Power Rev, Minstrel Scrapper, Minstrel War

    Longbow: 9pts

    • Popular meta: Power Ranger
    • Meta: Condi War, Harrier Ranger
    • Niche: Power DH, Power War

    Shortbow: 7pts

    • Meta: Condi Renegade, Condi Ranger,
    • Niche: Power Renegade, Power/Condi thief

    Rifle: 4.5pts

    • Meta: Power Engi, Power Deadeye
    • Non-meta: Power War

    One-handed:

    Sword: 23pts

    • Popular Meta: Power Mesmer, Power Rev
    • Meta: Power Guardian, Condi War, Diviner Rev, Power Holo, Power/Condi Weaver
    • Niche: Minstrel War, Power ranger, power thief, Minstrel Mesmer, Cele Weaver

    Axe: 21pts

    • Popular Meta: Condi FB, Power War
    • Meta: Condi Rev, Harrier FB, Power/Harrier/Condi Ranger, Condi Mesmer, Power Necro
    • Niche: Minstrel FB

    Dagger: 18pts

    • Meta: Power/Condi thief, Power/Condi Soulbeast, Power/Condi/Cele Ele
    • Niche: Power Spellbreaker, Minstrel Ele, Power Necro, Pahua thief

    Scepter: 15pts

    • Popular Meta: Power/Condi Guardian, Condi Necro
    • Niche: Power/Pahua Necro, Condi/Minstrel Mesmer, Power/Cele Ele

    Pistol: 7pts

    Popular Meta:

    • Meta: Power thief, Condi Mesmer
    • Niche: Power/Condi Engi, Pahua thief

    Mace: 8pts

    • Popular Meta: Condi Rev
    • Meta: Power War, Minstrel Guardian
    • Niche: Harrier Guardian

    Offhand:

    Shield: 13pts

    • Popular Meta: Harrier Guardian
    • Meta: Power Engi, Power/Minstrel Chrono
    • Niche: Minstrel Guardian, Condi/Heal Herald, Power War

    Focus: 11pts

    • Popular Meta: Power Guardian
    • Meta: Power Mesmer, Condi Ele
    • Niche: Power/Cele/Minstrel Ele, Power Necro

    Torch: 12pts

    • Popular Meta: Condi Guardian, Condi Scourge
    • Meta: Condi War, Condi Ranger, Condi Mesmer

    Warhorn: 9pts

    • Meta: Harrier Ranger, Power/Heal Tempest
    • Niche: Minstrel War, Power Ranger, Power Necro

    So here you go, and hope someone can find this list helpful. Definitely surprised by some of them myself (like shield being the highest scoring offhand). The bottomline is, if you find some of those builds unenjoyable you can rate them lower yourself - like if you don't enjoy supporting, shield is probably lower for you, etc.

    Edit - 1: I'm taking comment advices to update the scores. The "popular meta" doesn't reallys mean the build's place in the meta - I kinda want to gauge whether those builds are going to be popular among the playerbase, many of whom might not even step into the raids. Builds that are popular with low intensity players and newbies, like Reaper and Guardian builds, or that it could be used on different builds and on different content, might get rated higher in that regard. It is still very subjective.

    Edit - 2: thanks for the silver!

    ArenaNet, the in game mail system is terrible and long overdue an update (or how I my mail got DDoS'd by gratitude)

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 12:48 PM PDT

    Okay, so the 10 mail-limit has been terrible since 2012 when the game launched and been long overdue a fix. If you have any messages you don't want to delete (for sentimental reasons or whatever) or you just get a lot of mail (like a guild leader) then it's a frequent annoyance.

    But this week I've been portaling people through Chalice of Tears and people have been mailing me stuff as thanks, even when I tell them not to. So I've managed to slam into the gold-transfer limit for the week and can no longer claim gold from waiting mails this week, to be able to delete the mails to make room for new ones.

    So effectively I can't receive mail now, which is really silly. There's no way the mail limit needs to be this restrictive, we're talking about storing a few bytes of text.

    Infusions Will be Placed Into Your Inv. on Legendary Armory Launch

    Infusions Will be Placed Into Your Inv. on Legendary Armory Launch

    I contacted support regarding what will happen to infusions currently in legendary gear, once the armory releases.

    From the response, it seems like it would be best to screenshot your infusions for each character, or catalogue the setup in some other way. (Note that infusions are not included in the API, so you would have to do this in-game.)

    Otherwise, your infusions will be dumped into your inventory. They will NOT be destroyed or eaten. You will simply have to take the time to reinfuse each piece, while hoping you make no mistakes. So if you want the transition to be especially smooth, screenshot or write down your infusions.

    Has anybody else noticed a tone shift in WoodenPotatoe's latest videos?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 08:24 PM PDT

    I'm returning from a fairly lengthy break from the game, and WP is a prime source of info for me. But his latest videos haven't been nearly as pleasant to consume as his older ones. They've been feeling more and more condescending as of late. This latest one in particular has this quote;

    "But many of you only care about your account and the short term benefits without thinking of the long term health of the game as some of us do."

    Is this just signs of a vet becoming jaded with the state of the game, or has he always been like this but the state of the game previously helped mask that?

    Any possibilities of having Battle onBreachmaker and Battle for LA as strikes missions too?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 12:02 PM PDT

    I am only getting 10k dps on a condi scourge. Others get 30k-40k. How am I so behind? Most my gear does't have viper stats but that shouldn't make a 20k decrease, right? I have all the runes and sigils as well. If reddit could help me get my dps up, that would be awesome.

    One thing I really dig about Guild Wars 2 as a casual player is that I can jump-in and out no hassle

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 08:17 AM PDT

    I love play MMO's, I particularly enjoy the feeling of explore new unfamiliar digital worlds you don't quite get in single-player games. Mostly because the size and scale of MMO's it tends to feel more lived-in than a single-player RPG (not that single-player RPGs are bad or anything like that). However with most MMOs I feel you need to stay on top of them and constantly log in and do the latest X or complete the re-worked Y or collect all the Z's. With Guild Wars 2 as a mostly singe-player adventurer I can just play and enjoy this world at my pace. I'm a level 32 Human Mesmer and I'm just having a blast whenever I log on.

    It's not the most profound thing but it's really nice to just play a game how and when you want in a gaming ecosystem that has put more focus on keeping you hooked in as long as possible. I haven't needed a guide or some build reference so far. I have just freestyling my way through the game and it has been pretty manageable so far. I feel like Guild Wars is more like a bar/saloon/tavern where I can get my fill, hangout for a bit, enjoy the world and then be on my way. Maybe I'll come back next week, maybe not, but they aren't trying to push some sort of membership card on me.

    My point is I like this game for respecting my time. While that should be the norm it certainly isn't in today's world.

    PvP Legendary Armor

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 07:58 AM PDT

    So I hate PvP as I'm not really a competitive person and it destroys my mental health. As of now I, currently don't have any Leggy Armor, however, I'm almost 80% of the way there to get PvP Legendary armor (I play a couple games almost every season). However, I'm only ranked 60 or so and I need rank 100 to actually get the armor so... how long does it take to rank up to 100? I don't have any leggy armor and was actually looking into seeing what would be the easiest route for me to get Leggy armor, however I don't know if PvP is the best way to go about it.

    So, yeah, to state it again, how long does it generally take to get to rank 100? Is there a calculator out there to see how long it would take?

    Primordus is actually just a giant severed Hydra head.

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 03:57 PM PDT

    Primordus is actually just a giant severed Hydra head.

    We know Jormag at least has arms, but Primordus we only ever see a head and neck. Further, his head size seems to change randomly. Sometimes he's a small head on a long neck, other times he's just a giant head with no neck.

    The clear explanation? Primordus is actually just an empowered, severed hydra head. Clearly long ago a severed hydra head encountered a vast quantity of magic before it could die, thus gaining immortality and growing forever larger. However, he was limited by his original form, thus he could never form a proper body, wings, limbs, etc. Thus Tyria has been terrorized by the squishy and ever size-changing fiery bobble head of doom.

    ​

    Young Primordus?

    Legendary armory and Conflux

    Posted: 09 Jul 2021 03:19 AM PDT

    With the news of eternity owners unlocking all 3 greatswords in the armory I wonder if there has been any mentions of conflux and how that might work?

    I know there will be a toggle for the visual effect but from my understanding many people has crafted 2 rings, one slumbering and one not in order to bypass the 1 ring limit and not have to do content they would rather not for the other legendary ring.

    So my real question if anyone has heard anything, will crafting 2 confluxes, one slumbering and one not be working in the armory? Or will that still only show as one conflux and in order to use 2 legendary rings you would have to manually move one of them to each character you play?

    Thanks in advance and sorry if I made the post longer than it had to be, migraines mess up my typing.

    What is your favorite Meta event?

    Posted: 08 Jul 2021 05:26 PM PDT

    I have come to really enjoy Drizzlewood Coast. The loot that you get throughout the map is really good and I like the change up of events at each location.
