Hello, I'm a new player trying to figure out how to build my team.

I know the meta is mesmerway but I heard you shouldn't call out target and just let the mesmers do what they want for best result.

Is discordway what people use if they want to play an AP nuker?

The wiki is still down, how can i look things up? Im a returning player after like 7 years so i dont remember anything and im playing a new character. For example i am trying to look up mesmer elite skills and where to cap them but i cant find any information. Is there somewhere else i can find some of this stuff?

This is the most satisfying PvE accomplishment I've done. I highly recommend anyone going on the MADC journey to stick to completing GWAMM with your own sweat and blood or with any other MADC at the same point as you. The journey really made this something special. Never really cared for the Destroyer Spear, but, loved that I was able to just play the game and craft it myself.

Big shout out to the Ironman community for getting enough interest for devs to implement MADC. Props to the MADC GWAMM Paragon from yesterday with all the high farmed gear. I don't know if I have the patience to farm chaos gloves/fow armor, but that would certainly be my next goal if I continue.

I was adamant about completing this in an old school setting. Looking forward to finally exploring Reforged content.

How did I get 31 max titles? I have no idea. I assume a bug of some sort.

Why theres no weekly event announcements on the login screen? Look, theres alot of free space

This might be the wrong time to post this, with everyone getting GWAMM on their MelDhuum characters, but here's my take.

I'm still miles away, but I've learned a lot. In my experience, these are the best ways to go:

1. Campaign Choice

• Prophecies: pre-searing is welcoming and busy, the new dungeon is great for leveling and you can get Legendary Defender of Ascalon on the way. This is where I started.
• Nightfall: This is the easiest start. Heroes right away, and they keep you alive.
• Factions: only if you really want a Ritualist or Assassin. Spirit Rift and Lightning Orb can take half your health in a second. I lost a Ritualist there early on.

2. Profession

I usually work from this idea: put something between you and the damage (minions, spirits or a pet) and be effective from range.

• Best picks imo: Necromancer, Ritualist, Ranger, Paragon
• Viable: Mesmer (needs skill to pull off), Warrior (has to be up front)
• Lots of survivability, but slower or riskier: Monk, Dervish
• Wouldn't recommend: Assassin and Elementalist

3. Habits that keep you alive

• Be patient. Saving a minute can cost you hours if you die.
• Pull single enemies with a longbow.
• Take Ranger as your secondary early: even with 0 Beast Mastery, a pet is an extra body. Use "attack my target" so it goes in first.
• Flag a Warrior hero in first, let him take aggro, then join.
• Get an ID Kit and an Expert Salvage Kit ASAP. Salvaging is your only source of materials.
• There's no bank on Melandru's Accord, so manage your inventory hard. Keep what your armor needs (Tanned Hide Squares for my Necro), sell what it doesn't and sell easy-to-replace mats like Glittering Dust or Bones when space is tight.

4. Hero unlock order

• Get Devona in pre-searing then Ghost of Althea shortly after in post-searing.
• Do the first Eye of the North chapter as soon as you're level 10. Vekk and Ogden are level 20 from the start. I did it after the Sunspears quest in Kryta and I really regret that. That quest is rough with henchmen.
• "All for One and One for Justice" at the Lion's Arch docks gives you Olias, who comes with Animate Bone Minions. That means bodies between you and the enemy, even if you're not a Necro.
• Put healers on Avoid Combat, damage heroes on Fight, and your tank on Guard or Fight.

5. Hard mode

Pick up the daily Zaishen Mission quest at Embark Beach and join the groups doing it. Tell them you're on Dhuum's Covenant and can't die. Out of roughly 30 missions,only 2 or 3 people didn't want to play with me. Just leave and find another group. Players are much better than heroes, and they often pop cons for the whole party.

6. Eye of the North PvE skills

• "You Move Like a Dwarf!"
• Ebon Vanguard Assassin Support
• "Finish Him!"

Combined with Assassin's Promise, you can keep a target shut down almost permanently.

7. Rubies and Sapphires without a material trader

A tip from someone in an Ironman Discord: run Bloodstone Caves with Light of Deldrimor. Hidden treasures on level 3 and beyond have a much better chance at rare mats. Normal Mode is fine, since Hard Mode doesn't improve the drops, and you get Dwarven rep along the way. Be ready to grind it a few times, though.

So far I have Survivor, Legendary Defender of Ascalon and Guardian of Elona maxed.

So, still a long way to go. But I'm close to maxing about 3-4 titles now!

I played a ton back in the day but never quite got to the place to be able to do much more than basic title hunting. After returning to reforged, I have more time to be able to try farming but have no clue where to start.

What are the best/most time efficient farms? I have access to every profession. Not looking for crazy money, just something I can do on the side to help outfit my characters and heroes and have money to help friends who are just picking up the game.

Is this a pipe dream? Keeping track of everything after the first 4 is almost comical.

Hello! Since there are so many builds in the game that work, what are the “meta” player builds and what exactly make a build “meta” is it just builds with the highest clearspeed? Or highest dps/ survivability? Has the meta changed after all the updates or are they still the same. Thanks guys

Hi,

I finally sat down and finished it for the first time.

Never again.

Sincerely,

Greetings, I'm looking for guild or communities that are based on SEA/OCE/NZ region, I tried my luck on discord but browsing the guild recruitment, it seems there are none

Hit GWAMM on my Melandru’s Accord Ranger today and planned it out so I could get Obby Armor on the same day!

Started out with Dhuum’s Covenant and made it through the Guardian and Survivor title tracks before eventually losing it. :( I was devastated, but kept the character going as Melandru’s Accord and loved how freeing it was to no longer have to worry about dying. I could finally start focusing on dungeons, speed clears, and other more difficult content I was too afraid to touch prior.

I’ve had most of my luck farming items from SoO and Tunnels. Haven’t been as lucky with the others yet. Some notable drops along the way:

Eternal Blade
Eternal Flatbow
2 Bone Dragon Staffs
Glacial Blades

Overall, this has been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had playing GW1. Grinding everything out and having to work for absolutely everything made the game feel fresh again. Even the smallest drops felt worthwhile, which is something I hadn’t experienced in GW in a long time.

Don’t think I’ll ever be fully “done” with this character, but it definitely feels like a moment of completion forsure.

Anyone else having a mental breakdown playing without the wiki. Legit came back to the game like 2 months ago and havent played since my childhood, just wanting to clear some content for HOM etc and god bless a few weeks in and the wiki is down.

Now im fighting through tons of google search poorly written guides/ filtering outdated reddit post/ and old utube guides with 0 vocal explanation just AMV's with text trying to explain how to do something or find something in 420p XD for the love of everything, anyone got an eta on when the wiki will be up

Ok you must answer honestly in the comments. How many times have you clicked on the storage crate with your Melandru characters? Because I've only done it 1000 times by now 😅

Maybe in Tyria Halloween is more of an.... Adult holiday

Just curious how many people came back to the game after a long hiatus to find they were missing many of their favorite items.

It had been SO long since I had played.. l was so focused on all the nostalgia that I realized my favorite items were gone. Took a day of reintroducing myself to catalog.

R12 chaos axe, r11 voltaic spear, my chaos gloves were gone, and a r13 obby edge 😭

I also believe I had a frog wand and some skeleton staff

Took me a whole day to realize all my loot was gone 😂

Tell me about your early builds for playing MA (player and/or hero) as well as the campaign you started in.

Have you found any skills that aren't meta, but are better than you thought?

I started in Factions on a Ritualist. As soon as I got to Kaineng City I went to EotN to unlock heroes. I ended up running a Mo/E smother with Double Dragon that worked way better than expected!

As per the title. I have been occasionally playing through Pre Searing in order to get the LDoA title, no rushing and taking it slowly. Although I'm not stressing over doing so in record time, I wanted to avoid the Farmer Hamnet's method due to it taking way longer to reach level twenty.

The main problem I'm facing (while doing the whole "taunt the charr and bug them close to the entrance") is that I don't have enough damage to kill anyone as long as there is a Martyr in the pack, even after dumping all points in Marksmanship, using the preparations for bonus damage and them using Frenzy (oh, and I have a decent enough longbow with nice damage modifiers). When I tried doing this method in the past with an Elementalist, it was way easier, which is to be expected.

My question is if there is really no way to do this method with this particular combination or if I'm messing something up? If there's no way to reach twenty through this strategy, is there another option as long as there is no Farmer Hamnet, or am I pretty much forced to do it?

Thanks!
