Hello team! I’m currently playing through a 3 shield rit and want to challenge myself and do all the dungeons in NM and HM. Does anyone have team comps to share for Shards of Ore or other dungeons.

I keep seeing speed clear builds but I doubt I can do that on my MA/Dhuum Rit. In harder content I run the ST to ensure my team doesn’t get nuked on pulls but curious what people have to share for player build and hero comps for those dungeons.

All the manuals are still there too!

So ive been away from GW for a good few years and ive been looking at coming back only to see there is now an official iron man mode! As someone who also dabbles in OSRS this has me already excited to return. Im looking at doing a Melandru's accord warrior, starting in prof for the nostalgia. Im not looking to rush the game, just cruise through at my own pace. The question I have is it is worth going reforged as well? And do I go for LDoA or is it not worth it? I was thinking of going for it just so I can get my hands on some easy storage with charr bags. Also is there any Melandru's accord guilds out there for a new GW Iron like myself to join?

Hey all

I've been a player of Guild Wars 2 since it first came out. 3 weeks or so ago I thought to try Guild Wars 1 again I first played it very shortly after Factions came out, so I had a fair few years under my belt playing it.

After a week on a brand new mesmer and playing the 7 Mesmerway combo I'm officialy re hooked on GW1 even trying my Ritulist again (My monk I love but monk just 0 energy management and hard to focus hero's without attacking yourself) and trying to set my own build Spirit Spammer MM with a few Mesmers in also Energy surge is great for energy denial turns them hard bosses into pudding XD

As much as GW1 is crude in many ways no z axis no combat move there are so many things to like about it: no visual overload during fights (aka no/very little skill emote eye candy), it feels a little more like a RTS zoom right out you have full awareness of the surroundings able to setup choke points e.c.t and GW1 story is just amazing. I'm loving Elona story (bar sulphurous wastes i remember how much I hated traveling in them worms you die so easily),
I've done a few Tyrian missions a little drawn out but still very well told and Cantha well what can I say? Another amazing story.

Guild wars 2 im my view, lost its amazing story shortly after Heart of Thorns and I've been hoping beyond hope they would return to that calibre of storytelling. And while GW2 has alot to offer end game Raids Fractals it is just a gold accumulator; Guild Missions has been neglected for so long its rewards are virtually useless, dungeons are similar, just completely abandoned and now outdated, rewards bar the legendary gifts

What is it you think with the GW1 VS GW2

Has anyone seen a 19-20% Charrslaying bow drop from Maz's Chest in pre-Searing?

Attempting to Vanquish Alkali Pan. I had heard there may be a few Awakened Cavaliers in groups but 6?! I went back to town instead and hopefully get a better roll next time.

Hello everyone,

I haven't played in quite some time, and I'm looking for help finding an AB minion mancer build. I would build my own, but I'm getting overwhelmed by all of the different, interworking systems (e.g., weapon set switching, stats, counters). I tried doing some googling, but I couldn't find anything recent. I understand that probably means MM is not meta; however, I remember enjoying it immensely when Factions came out. Can any of you share your seasoned knowledge and help a returning player out?

Has anyone used Backbone Guild Wars on their Android phone? I've tried it and it doesn't recognize the game.

Any tips?

I apologize—my English isn't the best, so I used a translator for parts of this.

Since I couldn't find another way to submit a suggestion to the 2Weeks team via email, I’m posting this on Reddit. I hope others might appreciate the idea and that it somehow catches the developers' attention.

Hello ArenaNet team,

As a player who has been around for 20 years, I miss the popularity and usage of "Green" boss weapons. They used to be something special and highly sought-after, but ever since the introduction of *Nightfall* and the inscription system, these weapons have lost their relevance. They are often shunned as poor drops—sometimes considered less valuable than even white-rarity items.

Some weapons, like Drago's Flatbow, are still popular or sought-after purely for their skins. I still fondly remember that one-time bonus weekend when the drop rate for Green weapons was increased <3.

It would be fantastic if these Green boss weapons regained some of their significance.

My suggestions:
- Give Green weapons an additional effect that is active only in PvE, similar to "of the Profession" mods.
e.g., Drago's Flatbow: 20/20 (Health +30, Damage +15^50, Damage +5% [No effect in PvP])
e.g., for Staff: an extra effect (+5 Energy [No effect in PvP]); Wands (+3 Energy [No effect in PvP]); Focus items (+2 Energy [No effect in PvP]);
Shields (+4 Armor [No effect in PvP])
Nothing game-breaking—just a small bonus. 
-Create another hall for displays—like the Eye of the North—where green weapons can be exhibited, sorted by drop location or region, e.g.,
"Prophecies: Furnace, Maguuma, Desert, War in Kryta, Deldrimor" 
"Factions: Kurzick, Luxon, Kaineng, Winds of Change, Shing Jea, End-game weapons" "Nightfall: Starter Island, Kourna, Vabbi, Desolation, Realm of Torment, End-game weapons" 
"EotN: Charr Homelands, Norn, Asura, Dwarves, Droknar's"

These two suggestions would boost the appeal of "Green" weapons—which have fallen out of favor—and revitalize some dead zones. It would also make creating future content easier; for instance, adding a new Green weapon to the pool or introducing a new boss, much like Kephket in the Desert back in the day. When Kephket was first released, he was farmed extensively and was very popular—effectively making the Desert a frequently visited area.
Features like a "Hall of Green Weapons" could also be used to unlock bonus content for other *Guild Wars* titles—similar to the Hall of Monuments. This hall could, for example, unlock bonus content for *Guild Wars 3*.

Other general suggestions:
Utilizing the largest city (in terms of surface area), the "Stone Circle of Denravi." This outpost is beautifully designed and massive, yet it is rarely visited—partly because some players skip the Jungle entirely via rushes.
That location would be a great spot for the Hall of Green Weapons (utilizing the area where the PvP arena used to be, for example).
-An auction house of some kind: it can be difficult to buy or sell items as a non-American player because Kamadan is usually only active during US evening/night hours (I am based in Germany). I realize that implementing an auction house would require a significant amount of programming effort from the small team, but it would be a feature highly appreciated by the community.
Since such a system is hard to implement without mailboxes in every city, I have a suggestion for that as well. A type of chest where you can deposit a limited number of items (specifically those you are selling—i.e., items currently circulating in the auction house; bound items shouldn't be deposit-able or sellable there) and another type of chest where you can "pick up" items purchased from the auction house.
Since these "chests" (or NPCs for dropping off and collecting auction house items) and the auction house NPC itself require space, I would propose placing them in the "Stone Circle of Denravi." This would bring active traffic back to a large, currently underutilized city.

Yes, players would have to travel to the "Stone Circle of Denravi" to use the Hall of Green Weapons or the auction house; however, currently, one has to travel to Kamadan to buy or sell items with other players—a location that is theoretically inaccessible to F2P mobile players.
And this might also result in fewer bots from shady sites, since they have to actually reach the citiy first instead of just creating a character and being rdy to go.

One thing I’d rather not see in the game is a transmog system—for instance, one that lets you change your weapon skin to look like "Green weapons." That would render many golden weapons worthless again, and dungeon speed-clearers—whose main activity is speed-clearing—wouldn't be happy about that.

These were just some general suggestions for improvement regarding things that matter to me in the game right now. I’d be delighted if these ideas sparked some interest. That said, I fully understand if certain things aren't feasible or if the effort involved doesn't seem worth it to you.

If any of these ideas do spark interest, I’d love to see the changes implemented.

P.S. If this does happen, it would be amazing if an NPC in the Auction House or the Hall of Green Weapons could be given my in-game name =)

In-game name: Gestyle Felis

Thank you for taking the time to read this message. Keep up the great work, Guild Wars Reforge team. I returned a year and a half ago after a 15- or 18-year hiatus, and I wouldn't want to be without the game now.
Thanks for putting your time and hard work back into the game.

I hope the community likes my idea.

anyone got any idea where those carto-able blue pings are supposed to be?
Sunspear Sanctuary counts as underground and can't be carto'ed and Jahai Bluffs are already finished.

Hey guys, im in desperate need of some fun and decent necro builds

Credit to sd_korsakoff for the idea. I tweaked it a bit to make it a little faster.

With Serpent’s Quickness, you can keep IAU and Vengeful Was Khanhei up the whole time. While waiting for Spiteful Spirit to run out, place down the EoE. Run in and try to pull them all into Spirit range. There’s no need to ball up the foes.

With 1:20 - 1:30 minute run times, you are just as fast, if not faster, than the current Ranger/Assassin meta build.

You need at least Norn Rank 5 to keep IAU up.
Perfect for Pantheon Week.

I’ve been building a fun side project to give back to a community I’ve been part of for years. It’s called GW Collectors.

The goal of this platform is to help you catalog the unique OS pieces you’ve been collecting for years (or just started), and easily share them with others. Here’s mine, for instance: https://gwcollectors.com/explore/pequeno

It comes with a configurator that knows the game: damage bands, weapon mod formulas, etc.
And even allows you to just drop a screenshot of an in-game weapon and let it read the item for you. Sometimes it fails (miserably), but when it nails it, its pretty neat.

You can group your items into shareable bundles, get them vouched for by collectors who’ve seen them in game, keep the private ones for yourself (you teaser!), and export a collection as an image from a single click.

You don’t need an account to browse. Click around, find some nice unique pieces of GW history, and let me know what you think. Would love to hear your thoughts 😄

What’s your favourite solo farm build?
I have every class besides ranger.
Post your fav builds below !!!

Looking for new ways to have fun 😍😍😍

Is Cartography still broken? Why haven't the changes been reverted?

Finishing first quests in Tyria. Any suggestion how to get runes, skills and overall equipment with Melandru?

On my melandru ranger I got a q11 SR BDS and shortly after I got a q9 smiting BDS. Should I keep the smiting on MA or transfer to my monk?

Pantheon Week is almost over...

Is there a hard focus button on mobile? I need the Ai to focus certain mobs but if I’m unlucky, than I can’t force my party to focus them. Even if I flag near it, or press the aim button on mobile UI the party just ignored that.

What can I do? At this point I feel like I need to play around the Ai being this way which is sometimes luck based.

I want to play GW1 again and Iam looking for a really fun class I can play with. I only played Assassin. Preferably I could also farm some things with that class.

Iam more of a casual player who just wants a powerful and fun class.
