When sieging, I find I swap sneak gyro for mortar kit, for the ranged attack. I have been finding the pull on toolkit to be hit or miss. I am not sure if it is getting LoSed or something else. However, it does not always work. But when it does, it is a lot of fun. I am still not as bursty as I would like, but I think last week I went in without any trinkets lol. So that may explain some things lol. OVerall, i am still enjoying it. RaVem

@Raeb, @ViVshotfirst, @Maeric, @Penarddun, @Squeeks

So, I did somemore WvW with @Shaaahn on Saturday morning, and I was running around with Toolkit instead of Elixir Gun or Bomb Kit. I found that it had some really fun tools for WvW. The Toolkit has a pull, a block, a cripple. I use Static Discharge for some added burst. It's a fun build that can reveal hidden thieves, provide stealth, and help remove some conditions. RaVem

@Hrom how did it go? I couldnt make it online on Saturday seeing as how the wife and I were binging some Punisher episodes. RaVem

I propose we rename the Wednesday night event to Cry Havoc! And let slip the Remnants of Hope! or Cry Havoc! And let slip the Scrubs of RoH!

I have been the last 3 weeks and intend to be there again tomorrow! I love me some havoc! "Cry Havoc! And let slip the dogs of war!" RaVem

After playing around with Engy last week, I felt I lacked a little burst. I also found I did not use the Elixir Gun a whole lot. I may try out Bomb Kit for additional burst with BOB or Toolkit. RaVem

So... I am fickle and decided to play around with my scrapper, and have arrived at the following build. I already have the trinkets, weapon and 2 of the armour pieces. The remaining armour pieces I have in Exotic, for a minor loss in stats. http://en.gw2skills.net/editor/?vdAQFASnUUBlXh1XBubBEqilJjKsfSmwi+vr7AXsZKgAA-jlSXABBokIYlKgoDY09HwRJIAKDq7BAosSoYVXhHVKAA-w So, I am going for power bursty again, but with a little more sustain, and some other group support that looks fun. I chose hammer because it has a stun field, a block, and a leap, all of which I think are very useful in wvw. I am not sure if I will be running the healing turret or the medic gyro. The turret can cleanse conditions if I overcharge it, but it is immobile, which can be a detriment to a mobile havoc group. Medic Gyro does not have the cleanse, but can be a mobile waterfield with the toolbelt skill. For utilities, I plan on taking Elixir U for the quickness in the opening burst, Elixir S for suvivability, then Elixir Gun for group support. For my elite, I plan on taking Sneak Gyro for group stealth, which can also be really handy for WVW. I am training my elixirs to help remove conditions, for additional group support. I am still playing around with the Scrapper Traits. Any thoughts? RaVem

I was really just playing with the balance between the offensive and defensive stats, what ascended trinkets I already had, and what feels good lol. No real targets aside from something like 2700 to 2800 armor and around 20k health. I just dont know if they is considered enough for wvw. RaVem

This build variant swaps axe/wh for longbow, and I have reworked the traits slightly. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQNBhOD7kgXoVQsgFwfFgqFsUIYMvr2VqLP72dLvPdhZQAA-jhDBQBA4BAoDVIUoaAeRJSOUBhHqIgDVBMjSCNqcKNKBhwFAwI7PcQVCahOACBMaMA-e By going with Unstoppable Union instead of Live Fast, i have the option to drop Signet of the Hunt in favour of one of the following: Signet of the Wild for additional Ferocity and another Root for cc Dolyak Stance for 6s Stability Protect Me for a stun break and defensive boons Signet of Stone for additional Toughness and more Invuln Lightning Reflexes for a stun break and evade Frost Trap or Muddy terrain for even more control Pets wise, here are some that I am considering: Krytan Drakehound - great for cc as a pet. In Soulbeast mode, you get even more cc, and the benefit of a Ferocious Pet for the bonus stats and Worldly Impact. It allows for some fun counter play. Brown Bear - you get Condition Removal as a pet. In Soulbeast mode, you get Regeneration, Defy Pain, and a heal + 3 seconds of Resistance Black bear - gets me double defy pain Eagle - gets me essentially (or close to) perma swiftness, and a Ferocious Pet. Red Moa - gets me Fury and healing Smokescale - a 1.5 s evade while hitting a target multiple times (a la Revenant Sword 3), a knockdown, and the benefits of a ferocious pet. Anyway, those are my thoughts. I am curious about any insight from others. RaVem

Hey guys, So here is the build I am currently/working on running. I have the gear, but am still toying around with things. http://gw2skills.net/editor/?vNAQJARTnE8CtCiFsA+rAUtgFPBjpXtrubPrgAQCLv0uantA-jhDBQB8QFBjs/QaUCeQVC0hKE5QFEFqGAAeAAeRJCEuAAmRJhGVO1CdA4QVACBMaMA-e I am going for (power) bursty build for running havoc, but want to make sure I have enough survivability, which is supposed to explain the mixed stats. Let me know if you think the Toughness/Vitality are sufficient. I know the general answer is that it is based on player experience and comfort lol. If you were to recommend something to start with, what numbers would it be? Bear Stance and Signet of Renewal are designed to help deal with Conditions. Sic'Em and Signet of the Hunt are supposed to be used to help the burst (which consists of using sic'em, then merging with my pet, using Signet, then using Maul, Hilt Bash, Maul, f3). If needed, Entangling Roots is to try and keep the target in place. I can probably change a few utilities to improve one aspect or another, and may do that if the situation calls for it. For example, I know that I am currently missing stability. The selection of pets can make up for some of these deficiencies in their F2 abilities and in their merged abilities. So, I am asking for advice on what things you think I need to focus on in order to pick an appropriate pet, if applicable. Secondly, how important would you consider it to have a ranged weapon to swap to in combat? I currently run with Longbow, but am considering running with Sword/WH for the utility, and extra evasion in melee. Thoughts? RaVem

Havoc was great last night! Thanks @Owinn! I really enjoyed it, and hope to be able to do it regularly with you guys! I also found that with a lot of the changes Anet has made since I last played, WvW is a lot more rewarding than it used to be, so even better! RaVem

Is there any way that moderators can be given the ability to delete tabs in a Club? For example, I accidentally create an extra calendar tab and want to remove it, or repurpose it. i cannot change it into another topic tab, so right now, it sits there, taking up space. RaVem

Where Warhammer is a tabletop large scale strategy game, Mordheim is a skirmish game, using essentially the same (4th Edition i think) ruleset, based in a ruined City. RaVem

Dunno if experienced is the correct adjective for @Mevraz in this situation. Masochistic maybe . Who am I to talk? I am bringing a Soulbeast lol. RaVem

You show'em Mev lol
