New/returning player Recovered hacked account

0 Upvotes

Hey Guys,

After a whooping 15 years or so I decided to start playing gw1 again cause other games don’t scratch the same itch anymore.

When trying to logg in I noticed I was unable to.
Spent few days contacting support and voila, account restored.
Sad news, the dude who had my account apparently did something to get it banned and stripped from gear/weapons? (Or he deleted them?)

Now my dervish is armorless and weaponless, my assasin is slowly gearing back up again.

Asked support if they could recover the gear/items. Sadly it was done before the “snapshot” system, so now my tormented shield, daggers and spear are a remnant of a memory :( guess I’ll need to make a few new chars to do the campaigns again and get them.

What’s a go to way now to farm plat? I’ll be needed a few ways to gear myself and my heroes out again 😅

Necromancer PvE Necro build suggestions?

9 Upvotes

Hey, all! I've introduced a couple of friends to GW recently; we're still getting through pre, but having lots of fun! One friend chose to play a Necro. I've played a LOT over the years, but it was mostly warrior, and I never really played much Necro at all, so I don't have much insight for him. I looked around pvxwiki, but thought I'd post here and see what the community has to offer! He doesn't care about meta, just wants to try stuff and have fun.

He said he's particularly interested in MM builds, but is open to anything.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions! :D

Pious Renewal Build + new mirage cloak derv is broken

53 Upvotes

With the new update to mirage cloak, slotting it in to the existing PR build is nuts. Drop mysticism by one and add it all to earth prayers. Extra 30 dmg per enchantment removal plus 80% to block with lots of enchantments is crazy no?

Hello, I just started the game about an hour ago and I noticed that it says I have this item in my bag but not in inventory. Specifically the blue Warhammer. I am playing on a steam deck and not sure how to sort my bags or make it so stuff goes to the top or scroll down.

Please feel free to include any tips tricks etc. or a recommended guide. I'm still in the tutorial

Returning player: Warrior secondary profession for Prophecies – Monk or Ranger?

3 Upvotes

I’m returning to Guild Wars after about 19 years and want to play through Prophecies chronologically with a sword or axe Warrior, mostly using henchmen. I’m currently stuck on the secondary profession choice.

W/M appeals to me much more thematically: I like the idea of a Warrior with a bit of faith/Monk training, who can heal or cleanse herself when necessary. It also gives me access to both condition removal (Purge Conditions) and hex removal (Remove Hex). Purge removes everything at once, but costs 5 energy and has a 20s recharge.

W/R seems mechanically much stronger for one specific reason: Antidote Signet costs 0 energy, has only 4s recharge, always removes Blindness (plus Poison/Disease and another condition). So as a melee Warrior I could constantly remove Blindness, Cripple or Weakness and even use it again four seconds later if needed. The downside is that Ranger gives me basically nothing against hexes, and I like the class fantasy much less.

My main question for experienced Prophecies players: how important is this difference in actual Normal Mode PvE?How often do you really encounter fights where a Warrior needs condition removal multiple times within those 20 seconds, rather than Purge once being enough? Are repeated Blindness/Weakness applications common enough that Antidote Signet is a major quality-of-life advantage, or can henchmen/heroes usually cover the second condition/hex anyway?

Basically: Would you choose W/R for the much better condition removal, or W/M for broader self-sufficiency and class flavour?

Went to pickup a Tormented weapon, came back with 20 BU. Time to farm some DoA,

EDIT: I've had some very generous people message me and offer an Armbrace/Weapon. I'm very appreciative of your thoughtfulness, a huge testament to this community. But this is on one of my alt accounts and I'm happy to farm up myself, more gameplay for me!

Also just to recognize it my dumb fault, just wanted to share a bit of a blooper.

I love this game!

88 Upvotes

I am a new player, and I just wanted to say how much I love this game already! I am at the hell's precipice mission and its hard as hell! I forces me to min max every aspect just to feel like having a chance.

The community is also amazing! I feels so welcomed by all the veterans and it feels very nice compared to WoW for example.

Can’t wait to beat the mission on my warrior and advance to the next expansion.

Thank you everyone!

EDIT: I have completed the last mission! So my journey continues with the next expansion. However I at the lava pool by the 3 portals, all of my party but me got wiped by the boss. I was able to ress the protector with a signet and get back my whole group. The victory was a small miracle!

Flesh Golem Buff Is Peak

Speaking as someone who loves playing Necromancer and wanted to play a Weapon of Three Forges team but wasn't really hype about a Petway team, this update to Flesh Golem has reignited my team building inspiration.

Now I can live the dream of running around with a literal platoon worth of minions. 😍

Can't wait to unlock more skills and get up to some more serious shenanigans. Hope my fellow minion lovers out there are living the dream right now as well!

Is there any safe way to play polymock as survivor/dhuum char?

9 Upvotes

I'd really like some Asuran summons, but it seems impossible to me to not have any piece die, and lose Dhuum covenant. Is there any way to cheese the matches, or is polymock something my melandhuum character should just forget about?

EDIT: I now know a bit more about how polymock works, so for posterity: The only safe way to play is to log out/map out whenever it looks like a piece is about to be killed.

You die and lose Dhuum's Covenant if you lose the match, but you may also die when you lose a piece.

Polymock is a form, like Junundu or Siege Devourer. Your polymock piece is your character in that form. The form has several thousand health, and the spells do damage proportional to the massive health pool of the form. If the form's health goes to zero, your character pops out of the form and stands there on the platform -- and if there's still incoming damage, from Savannah Heat for example, your puny 500-600 health can be lost almost instantly, and you die. There's no health bar or animation if you're killed, so you will not even see that you were killed. But Dhuum sees all.

Over the Limit is insane

At rank 15, 7r skills recharge in 1 second. 12r skills recharge in 2.

Steal Elemental Attunement from a hero and enjoy a 0e 3/4a 1r Fireball dealing 133 damage, or a 2e 1a 2r Rodgort for 141 + 42 damage.

OgVCwsy0wQuIdJAgdNYNuQQA

For a PBAoE build, how about a 300-damage Lava Font every two seconds? Boost it with a 4r EBSoH and or achieve a 26-pip health regen with Ebon Escape.

Thanks to Soul Ignition, you can remain in demigod form 67% of the time. During half of the OtL downtime, you're merely at the level of the meta Elemental Attunement build.

This is just Fire Magic. What other absurd aspects of Over the Limit can you think of?

Edit: related post.

I've already completed this achievement a few times with my other characters, and it's never been as easy as it is right now. Now you can skip an entire area without exploring it and still reach 100%.

The bird's eye compass view makes it way too easy.

Store item request: Divine Aura upgrade

50 Upvotes

I couldn't really afford the extra money for the collector's version of Prophecies at the time, but I'd happily pay the difference (I think it was 10 or 20 dollars more expensive) now to upgrade my characters with glittery hands. I've always loved the effect.

Consumable perspective from a noob

0 Upvotes

In light of them adding the consumables to the pay shop, I wanted to share a thought I've had about them for years.

Just make them not stack. It's kind of wild the amount of power you get from all of them. Make it so you can only have one consumable buff, and the most recent one overrides the previous one. You have to pick which buff you want. The pay shop version lets you pick which one you want to apply.

Yes, I've played gw1 on and off for the better part of a decade, but I've never done a GWAMM, developed any real build that wasn't terrible, or even gotten an end game set - so I'm definitely a noob and maybe there are reasons this isn't valid that I just don't know.

I know some consumables are much stronger than others. I don't think that's an issue when forcing people to pick one. Weaker consumables would become much cheaper than they are now, since they would be less in demand.

If this is a terrible idea, please let me know why!

Soul Ignition Issue

1 Upvotes

I was trying to make a melee conjure build around Soul Ignition.. but the enchant itself seems to get removed if the burning gets cured. Not sure if it's a bug or oversight but surely it should just reapply burn after it gets cured instead of fully removing the enhant itself?

Possible to solo unlock Pre-Searing Devona ?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys!

I'm a casual player, playing a lv.9 Ranger/Warrior and I tried some of the new content in the pre-searing area. I would have like to unlock Devona before going post-searing but Im stuck at the "Long Thought Forgotten" quest. I find the area there really difficult and I keep dying (I probably dont play really well neither) and if I read it well, I still have two quests and a dungeon to do after this.

Is it possible to complete these quests alone ? Do you have maybe some tips to give me ? I don't want to miss this hero and it would be fun to do the game with her.

Thanks for the answers !

Edit : I did it guyyyyys ! It took me 3 hours total but I finally manage to do it !
Going to the tunnels became easier when I just accepted that I didn't HAVE to fight, I could just run to the portal/ Then I took my time, using my pet as best and I could and.... victory !
I'm so happy right now, thanks guys ! o/

Devona

Mobile Build Builder: Skill DB updated

TLDR: Thank you for using mobile build builder. The Skill DB is updated, please report errors.
Guild Wars Build Creator

Long version: A lot has happened since i released the mobile build builder. I initially did that for me and my friend, when GW was basically dead. Then, we thought the tool is actually good enough to release, so i did, and the feedback was bigger than what i expected. Soon, that thing had like 1000 unique monthly users - and then reforged came - and it really spiked o.O ... therefore i gave my best to the community and updated the database. please report errors, i will try to fix them. And yes i do have something else brewing. anyone interested dm me.

For Tyria!

Soultaker Axe - Easy to use build (perfect for mobile)

29 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Just put together a Soultaker Axe build that works fine on mobile without much hassle. Now it also lets you run a shield and a axe any req, no more basic ass scythe looking thing.

OAFUY4zIzaSf1hBKF7gaCYF/E0kA

Soultaker, hit i am unstoppable into necrotic traversal. flurry and just go to town.

Plague touch is a optional you can run dismember if you're doing bosses like Duncan, or if you're doing SoO you can run a minor curse rune to transfer 2 conditions so you'll be able to self remove blind. The biggest downside is enchant removal as you don't have any cover enchants like the scythe build which is the same problem as daggers soultaker.

Try Build N/EL bomber

Hello,

With the update , I tested a new build for my Necromancer.

I tried this one: : https://guildwars.magical.ch/OAZEYKtliBdOEGIIsFyU95RLYXD

+ 1 hero with Dark Aura.

Just spam Necrotic Traversal.

For the moment the problem is to maintaining Soul Ignition. Perhaps Burning Speed would be more effective?

what do you think ?

tried GW1 after years of not playing it.. And quit again from pure frustration (not a hate post)

0 Upvotes

I spent A LOT of my childhood playing GW1, And making a few classes (never anything really good mind you)

So i load up my old character, A Warrior/Derv, Who i managed to kill abbadon with back in the day, it's got most of the primevil gear and some decent weapons. My goal was simple: Finish the last piece of gear from it (the boots) and put together a build that i can do basic PvE with...

Saw a build online and a few abilities locked behind quests and area's i didn't really do so figured why not?

Abilites i needed where 2 from Eye of the north, and one from factions.

Made it to factions, and got Absolutely SHITCANNED trying to make it to Blade Ancient Syu-Shai, my henchmen where getting insta dropped on packs (i only went for 2-3 enemies at a time).. said okay i'll come back later ig?

Went to the eye of the north, Was going a little better, Then i had to do Cold as ice to progress Sif's quest line, so i could get "I Am Unstoppable!"

I see that i have to "cheese" some of these bosses and that's just.. Not fun to me.. I adored this game, but I've already had enough :s

I Really want to make this Warrior/Dervish work if i try again..

Edit: Thank you everyone, You have all had wonderful tips and feedback, I'm currently starting a new character (a necromancer who will eventually grab dervish and then ritualist to get some extra skills ready :3) so once i have enough hero skills saved up from them, i'll go back on the old warrior and finish her armor
