Hello All!
DIR By: Shadowlight.8715
Date: September 22, 2013, 1:59 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
My name is Shadowlight (username Shadowlight.8715), I have
geared 80s of all classes all with their own vanity items e.g.
Mist weapons, Corrupted weapons, esp the latter characters. I
know it's not a 'necessity' for me, but I wouldn't mind
upgrading all their trinkets from green to pink (yes, I'm a
cheapo, not really a fan of paying a few g for +5 more precision
or something, also got 8 chars, ain't nobody got time fo dat).
In order of level maxing:
Architura (asura engineer)
Harper Bradley (human ele)
Alexander Drakeart (human thief)
Princess Kiya (norn guardian)
Oskar Vanadir (sylvari warrior)
Brian Mcgregor (human mesmer)
Fury Sharpclaw (charr ranger)
Sieses (human necro. Ain't making any more humans after this!)
I don't really have a single "main", but I do use warrior,
guardian, mesmer (for dungeons) and ranger (for open PvE and
WvW) the most. Currently, I only have one fotm character which
is warrior (PR31 at the time of writing) and that is because my
old guild had too many guardians and not enough warriors. After
my warrior reaches PR48 or something, I may just start working
on guardian.
I'm quite open to the idea of objective and unbiased discussion
about builds (so ignoring preference for playstyle and all
that). Through playing all classes, I have learnt over time to
approach builds in this way (for example, I used to "prefer" a
condition pistols build on my engineer, but after playing other
characters, I realised that the dps was actually quite bad and
now I go for a more direct damage grenade build). Basically I
run whatever's the most efficient for the party run, because
it's not just about you when there's other people involved. :P
From playing, I have developed an approach to builds which is
generally "dps with a side of support without gimping dps too
much", with "support" being boons and utilities like condition
cleanses and reflects, rather than healing (because this isn't
WoW). I try to melee whenever I can (there are quite a lot of
reasons why melee > ranged). I also bear in mind what classes
excel at. For example, engineer is king of vuln stacking by far,
so I dedicate my engineer to that, and guardians have invaluable
reflects, and that's why my guardian is traited for
consecrations. However, I'm always on the lookout to improve my
builds, so if anyone puts forth a build which has reasoning as
to why it's better, I'd be happy to hear it. :)
I come from a mainly dungeons background, not so much fotm, so I
look to grow in that area with you guys. :) So far, the runs
have been a better experience than with 100% public groups which
I am happy about. My home server is Sea of Sorrows. I'm from
Sydney, Australia and my timezone is GMT+10, although I am quite
a night owl. Outside of GW2, I am quite a
documentary/music/articles/Youtube consumer, although I do like
Skyrim as well (half my screen is usually covered by GW2 and the
other half by a browser with 15 tabs open on average lol). I
also like tea. I swear, if I weren't Australian, I'd be British.
