why i cant click my crafting tab

I play in WvW healscrapper and Holo, flamethrower and elixiergun and in pve Mechanist no turrets, but flamethrower instead and grenades.

No clue what you run there on your Vindi but it's sad to see. Those meager 3k hits make me just sad. You could have been wrecking havoc with 20k-30k hits as your lowest damage that spikes up to over 70k per hit. And that with hillarious sustain since you have literally 3 heals, perma dodge, cond cleanse, stab, stun break...

Good video, we just need more Asmongold type videos like this where people are just openly talking about the game

only thing that made me finish griffon was parts of it were needed to do coalescence collection, otherwise id ignore it for forever

Didn't see you using many kits, which really make engineer way too much fun and they also provide a lot of damage and utility. That being said, great video as always.

Scrapper to me is fantastic simply because I can play glass cannon gear with berserker's and still have good survivability because of the barrier from Impact Savant trait and swapping in Relic of Zakiros for that sweet 4% life steal on critical damage, I feel very comfortable going up against many champions.

Love, love, LOVE this idea and the channel in general. You've motivated me to get out of my comfort (and lazy) zone and attempt new builds, try to get the griffon etc. As an alt-o-holic that struggles to decide which race-class combos I wanna play, let alone sticking to them, I think it's a good idea to force yourself to learn a class by playing it for a few weeks and in the process grow more attached to your character.

Rifle mechanist is objectively the best spec in the game (you can trust me on this one, I already play the game for a year!): 1. Its easy to play. You have the rifle with cc (immobilize, knockback), movement and aoe. You cant weapon swap in combat (awesome) and you can choose mine (aoe, cc and boonstrip!) instead of a kit. Rest is signets, one of them is a teleport! You dont need 1k apm to play, you can focus on the fight, environment, npc talking etc. 2. It has a pet. Its also the best pet spec (rip ranger). Your pet is tanky, deals constant significant dmg, if you go afk it protects you, its immune to some mechanich and you can send it in early like in Sunqua Peaks big fire aoe where you have to hide. Brilliant. Can give alacriy to melee while you run around. 3. Its ranged! I cant emphasize enough how awesome that is. I really hate when I play a melee class that when random mobs start spawning or you have to move due to a mechanic you cant really do much while as a mechanist you just keep going! Pet can stay on target, you can continue dishing out damage, you are always useful no need to try to step out of an aoe the very last second and fail both on the evade and dps departments. Also, you are doing a meta event where tons of players are present? Easy tagging time! You just press autoattack and the game will target mobs in front of you. You are watching a movie or youtube on the 2nd monitor? Spam rifle 1 time! Oh boy, not surprised they nerfed this spec since eod, else everyone would play just this one constantly.

It doesn't make too much sense using turrets with mechanists, because the mech is very mobile and you don't want to be stationary, considering most of your damage comes from the mech. My favorite is playing condi build with mech, with pistol/shield or pistol/pistol, elixir gun, elixir E I guess (the yellow one), superconducting and overclock signet. With the traits for mechanist, I always go full condi, close combat.

Holosmith. The only Elite spec from engineer i actually enjoy playing.

A really overlooked part of Shift Signet, and why it's Sneaky Good if you aren't reading carefully: "Boons you gain are copied to your mech.". Your Boons (so long as you run anything that gives you some) also being shifted over to your Mech makes it a true powerhouse. And the active being a Shadowstep for positioning a burst *and* a Condi Cleanse is just icing. It's actually, in my experience, *really* good in solo PvE. YMMV, of course.

My favorite profession! When in doubt, flamethrower with runes of Balthazar! Stability from Juggernaut in the firearms tree is great for leveling.

Now you have a hammer for your warrior! Seriously, it's my favorite warrior weapon. I homebrewed my Mechanist build with Rampager's gear and went Firearms-2,2,1 Explosives-2,1,2 and Mechanist 2,2,1. Mech holds enemies in melee while I apply conditions that increase my crit chance and strike damage that increase condition duration and becomes a nasty loop for my enemies. I run Superconducting Signet active, Rocket Turret as needed, and Force Signet for CC. Rifle 3 for Vuln and CC then 2, and 1 while everything cools down. It's not quite braindead mode, but it is very disability friendly. And I apologize, I am running off insomnia and too much caffeine.

Oooooooh as a Engi main I’m ver excited for this video 😍🤩🤓

mesmer next 🤔

i played 1500 hours gw2 and 1400 hours Willbender

100% chance method: BM Ranger's Bear & a Divination Wizard with at least portent dice 12. Make them both invisible (this can be done with an upcasted invisibility spell from the Wizard). Have the bear use Honeyed Paws to disarm Kithrac. Honeyed Paws already has a high disarm rate, but keep your Div Wizard in range of the bear to make sure it hits. Then end combat by despawning the bear.

The weapon needs work to flow with the specs in PvE, there's potential tho

how tha fuck do I get so much unbound/volatile magic to buy all the nodes ._.

Just FYI, most of these methods are going to take you months to unlock as they are not available immediately.

Why does everything have to be about money and maximizing efficiency, man? Don't we have to put up with that shit enough in life?

Buying that Summoning Stone for favor hurt my heart

you absolutely neglected to take the cost of volatile/unbound magic into account. that does extend the time until the nodes paid for themself a good bit.

For the charged quarts crystal do not forget you can trade them in the Wizards Tower for tokens to make legendaries!

I agree, Imo you need both 🤔 they complement do well!

#284 of the exact same video posted, just with a different head talking 😐

TLDR; skill issue

The Skyscale is a tool, the Griffon is Joyous zoomy fun. I've done all the races. It makes the new expansion zones a breeze to traverse. It makes Hero Point trains fun as hell. Everything is more fun on a Griffon.

another trick to get *6* mid-air dashes on the skyscale is to dismount from griffon at standing position and before landing on the ground glide for a split second and remount on skyscale then angle the camera up and begin stringing along the dashes as the auto-endurance kicks in 5 seconds after mounting on skyscale in the air.. you can use the manual endurance refill either before or after the auto endurance to get the most out of the mid-air dashes. the auto endurance is on a 10-second CD so it's super useful

as the 1st person to get griffon in 2017 i have to tell you that you can ascend as high as you want on the griffon.

Kind of would say the turtle gives me that feeling way before the griffon. Though it would be interesting if the griffon got a horizontal/vertical take off ability. Kind of like the roller beatle.

A lot of ppl (it seems), don't realize that the gryphon works best with Skyscale in conjuction to reach faster destination. 250g nowadays is literally nothing considering the prices of most stuff on the AH. Back then when it was released 250g was a lot, but not by todays standards of the game. - Mount Skyscale do 2 fast (or 3) spins, mid air mount Gryphon (bar stamina refills 80% faster) then swap to Skyscale. Both mounts are very useful when combined. If you're on middle height I'd use skyscale to fast spin 2-3 times, then mount the gryphon and gain speed. The mount system in this game is out of this world, and best works when combined. If you dislike one mount, or another that's on you. In terms of mounts, the game offer nothing, but the the best, and that includes the gryphon.... otherwise - skill issue.

If you know how you can jumpstart your griffon even without the Skyscale however Skyscale makes it much easier. I have my griffon since 2019 and it kept me in the game even though I wasn't actively playing the game. Now, I'm a member of Wing - The Griffon Academy - though I fly less now due to the constant shortage of time I have right now

I personally find griffon more fun and engaging than the skyscale, but I understand the useful side of the latter: the best practical use I have for griffon is the weekly speed clearing maps for new characters XP for black lion keys

Hello! I have been pointed to this video by a friend as griffon is mentioned! The griffon is my thing in GW2, most of what I do and I do weekly training sessions helping people get the most out of the mount. Unfortunately the game does not do a fantastic job of that, for example many players do not know about the speed boost(flap while diving) or do far too many pullups etc. Skyscale is a useful climbing mount to get height to start griffon but nowadays with jade bot stuff we can start from flat ground, even from on water! The griffon can also fly near indefinitely with proper redives which the skyscale absolutely cannot. The 250g is perhaps a bit much and should probably be lowered but I still think its the best value for money you can spend in the game by far. If you would like to train with us in [Wing] we could perhaps help remove some of your feeling of regret of getting the griffon!

Random tip: swaping griffon and skyscale midair will refill your mount's stamina bar, allowing you to use skyscale barrel roll infinitely. Or when paired with beetle, you can easily refill stamina after screwing up. Yes, you can use springer for refilling beetle stamina as well, but there will be a small gap when you cannot use springer after dismounting from beetle due to being airborn.

The devs put themselves into a corner with the Griffon's gold cost. Costing 250 gold for the Griffon is still over double the cost of all other mounts + both versions of the Skyscale combined. Its probably why they just gave players the Skyscale again because they'd know if they ever gave us the Griffon again that no one would ever get the original and a lot of those who got the original would feel like they wasted 250 gold(Which is a lot for most players).

Skyscale is the mount i use 90%+ of the time and to be honest i wish they never made this mount. I do not like it and i hate how manditory it is just to be able to do metas in most of the latest xpacks zones. And before some of you kids goes "then dont use it", WHY THE FUDGE WOULD I HANDICAP MYSELF??? Still dont like it tho. it made the game into a tunnelvision hurry curry my get there asap fiesta...

I have skyscale but no griffon.

So here's some interesting info regarding the griffon speed vs the beetle speed. When played normally, the griffon is indeed faster than the beetle. However, there are some techniques that the roller beetle community have discovered that allow the beetle to travel 37% faster than the typical speed, pushing the beetle *much* faster than the griffon. However, since this is difficult to pull off without practice, it's much more reasonable to say that in normal circumstances, the griffon is faster

in the process of getting the griffon, I was VERY lucky cause I got Dawn (precursor to the legendary greatsword Sunrise) from the mystic forge. i knew the importance of the weapon but I was a fairly new-ish account and I wasn't anywhere near ready to touch legendaries at all so I sold it and used the gold to fund my griffon expenses. if that didnt happen, idk if I would've gotten the griffon at all I love my griffon and though I use my skyscale like 95% of the time, my griffon still has a place in my heart (it did help me with getting my skyscale (pre soto) a lot so I owe it that too)

Bruh, I have the opposite feeling about the Skyscale. My wife and I worked so hard to get the Griffon while LV4 was coming out, and within a week of us getting the final items together we needed for the griffon.... The skyscale was announced. So now here I am, 6 years later, no skyscale and no desire to get a skyscale.

can someone drop the timestamp when he gets to the point?
