In Topic: One Long Term Goal vs. Multiple Short Term Goals: What keeps you attached to...

23 April 2013 - 10:40 PM

Long-term goals keep me interested, but I don't mean chasing a legendary. Leveling and gearing all eight classes is my goal right now, but I'm having to slow down and focus on gear now that I have five 80s.

I break up my long-term goal into lots of little short-term goals. Each of my characters has a little .txt file on my desktop with all of the gear (both stat-wise and cosmetic) listed out with all of the associated costs. I won't lie, I enjoy making those lists a little shorter each week.

Playing lots of different classes also helps keep GW2 "fresh" for me. I just don't have time to get bored of a class, and if I do, I just fire up someone else. Unfortunately, this means I probably won't ever get a legendary. Maybe once I've "finished" all of my characters I can consider one.

I'm 23 and female.

In Topic: 25% Condition Duration enough for WvW?

...the only shortcoming is a lack of bleed duration.
I noticed you went with more bleed duration in your last post where you revised your build. I've gotta ask, how much of a difference does that additional condition duration make? Right now I'm considering a build that only has 25% condition duration without food, and I'd like to avoid taking Giver's weapons or swapping runes. I'm really digging the idea of Centaur Runes, Vigorous Recovery and Hastened Replenishment with Withdraw, and I can't seem to fit in more condition duration.

EDIT:
I guess I could add another Sigil of Agony. That way I'd get a total of +75% Bleeding with Rare Veggie Pizza. I need to get to bed; I'm not thinking very quickly. x_x

I can't speak for sPvP, but in WvW I love running around on my sword/dagger Thief while my confusion Mesmer husband distracts our target.

Tanky dagger/dagger Elementalists are also fun when you've got someone to help finish off targets.

Hi, thanks for reply, I actually went the whole hog, re-installed, caught up with my Guildies (which was fun).  But sadly there was nothing other than that (no spark anymore).  I ran around a while and map travelled but there's nothing I want to achieve.  Is it my fault of obtaining 50/50?  The game still looks really good in parts but the desire just isn't there.Tbh if it wasn't for Guildies I'd uninstall again.
You're fault for obtaining 50/50? Nah. I mean, you might be a little burned out, but playing casually or taking breaks can fix that.

Honestly, if you had fun with guildies, then focus on that. Don't worry about chasing anything. Just log on once or twice a week when you've got a bunch of friends on and tag along with them.

Or take a break again. That never hurts, and you can come back for holiday events. :)

The more time I invest into my ele, the more I start to dislike Evasive Arcana. The only thing holding me back from switching is the heal while evading in water.

Also I realized you're using Arcana X when you're not using any Arcane or Signet utilities. I suggest replacing it with Arcane VI for the extra Vigor on crit.
I didn't catch it until you noted it, but I've been using Arcana VI not X. I must have mis-clicked X and never noticed! I even went so far as to list X out with my traits. Considering I don't have any Arcane or Signets equipped, X would be really wasted on me. XD

Anyway, thanks for noting it. I'll edit my posts. Like you said, VI is much better.
