So guys. I am currently using 3x superior Krait and 3x superior Afflicted on my necro, but since we're handcapped on how much gear with prec, cond and toug we can get(there is no exotic trinkets with those stats) I was wondering if it would compensate swapping those runes for 6 undead. I would lose around 30% bleed duration from the runes but win a lot of toughness and more condition damage to compensate. Is it a nice change for WvW and PvE?

I am asking this since I will get even more resistant and Conditions are somehow easily dispelable on WvW environment also I still feel a bit squishy with 2400 armor.

Hey guys, I am having trouble finding ravaging(precision, condition damage and toughness) equipment. I know i can get some pieces through exotic karma vendors in Orr and TA and Arah, same with some weapons, but what about rings, necks and acessories, any idea? Why in god's name can't I craft exotic Ravaging gear but I can find berserker or knight wherever I look?

Well, for those of you that don't know much of the Star Wars universe lore, let me tell you a bit of Wedge Antilles. Wedge Antilles is a X-Wing pilot, that together with Luke Skywalker, has partaken lots of missions against the Empire. Wedge Antilles is that guy, that helps you a great deal, is an ace pilot and in the end wins a pat in the back while Luke Skywalker obtain the golden medal together with Han and Chewie.

As I ilustrate my point, I bring up Nostalgia Critic's review of the movie Tom and Jerry:
Please Advance to 6:10. That girl over there is Trahearne(a.k.a as Khormir 2.0).

Just look at this guy's face. You know you want to punch him. The moment this mofo right there shows up in Claw Island, you know your life is gonna be a living hell. Yes gentlemen, your moment in the spotlight is over. Say goodbye to your order's BFF because he/she will be gone because this guy over there just showed up on your personal story and he wants the spotlight now, and won't do anything the entire storyline besides whining and crying about the importance of his Wyld hunt. The moment this guy shows up, you become Wedge Antilles. You are not Luke Skywalker anymore. Basicaly all the missions that come after you meet this douchebag are about giving him something, or checking something for him while he gets all the recognition and well, you get that pat in the back. He becomes the leader of the Pact, and you are his errand boy

You gentlemen, are now Wedge Antilles. I just can't believe ArenaNet did Khormir all over again.


PS: This is a fun post guys, but yeah it ilustrate a bit my feelings towards the story line.

It has been very frustrating for americans, and other european countries to fight [FR] and Oceanic servers in WvW such as Vizuna for example. Bringing up one of our first WvW setup which was Desolation x Vizuna x Far Shiverpeaks, Both Deso and FS  got really handcaped because after all the work to capture most points around the maps, french canadians would just log in and recap those almost completely unoposed while the other two homeworlds were sleeping or inactive due to european time schedules. As far as I've heard, some american homeworlds are suffering the same problem with oceanic homeworlds.
I can understand the desire french canadians have to play with people that speak the same language as them, but it became quite a cheap tactic in WvW. Matching those homeworlds with each other, the ones that can WvW 24/7 would actually balance the matchup for homeworlds that can't uphold against [FR] or Oceanic time schedule.

My friend was complaining that on every single pull of trash mobs on Ascalon Dungeon his pet was getting downed very fast and saying the enemies were focusing his pet first before the players. Is there any way to avoid this from happening, like a mechanic to control the pet and send it later or a way to avoid it to grab attention from the enemies inside dungeons and not getting downed so quickly?
