I couldn't tell you exactly 'cause I changed it up. I was using Greatsword/Staff with full condition damage stuff and whatever traits I thought most useful for that. I had sigils on my weapon that caused AoE bleed (when you swap weapons) and would just buff with Mighty with Staff, swap to GS and try and burn/bleed them whilst swinging. Also the 5 skill with GS applies a DoT if you don't pull them towards you, so I kept that on as much as possible too (though with how hectic it is I couldn't tell if condition damage+ was boosting the damage for it). I'd wager there's plenty of other builds that are better than this but it was something I wanted to mess with and was working decently enough. Next time I do PvP I'm gonna mess with some different builds though. Wanna try a healing/toughness mace+shield build and see how ridiculous the survivability is.

cultural armor seems pretty neat.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-08-30 02:11

Too much damned money. The weapons are karma though so np to buy at level.

Was getting that a lot in Plains of Ashford because Catacombs is there and everybody and their fucking mother is trying to do it. Everybody in my guild confirmed so it's definitely on their end.

Also @ Celeras Headstart =/= Pre-release.

So there's an "exploit" people are using to make crazy gold. 50 cooking, buy Cheese and Peppers with karma and make Chili Pepper Poppers. 1 karma apparently nets you 6 copper when vending them. Kripp streamed himself making like 4000 or something ridiculous. Prob gonna kill the economy unless Anet adjust prices of cooking mats to make them cost more karma or something.

Also I have had a shit ton of lag tonight, though I only played for an hour. Even guild chat messages were taking minutes to go through sometimes.

**Eanae** · 2012-08-30 02:46

Cooking is crazy easy to level at current karma costs. Nearly up to 200 cooking now off miniscule amounts of karma.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-08-30 02:47

I consider that just using your karma wisely. Wish I could buy fine materials with karma. Would be able to get my tailoring to a decent level.

Maybe I'll try that cooking thing. I got 10k karma and I can't think of anything I really want it for.

**Eanae** · 2012-08-30 02:49

They patched and rolled back Kripp. Food no longer sells for anything.

Edit: And Kripp was banned for 3 days.

**Rhyis.** · 2012-08-30 02:53

Lol. Well maybe I won't.

Not sure how that's against any rules though.

**Eanae** · 2012-08-30 02:55

He was banned for "advertising an exploit"

**Rhyis.** · 2012-08-30 03:00

Meh, would've been worse if it wasn't advertised. Tons of people would've been doing it for weeks unnoticed, whole economy would be fucked up and there'd be nothing they could really do about it. Should've given the guy a job looking for this kind of stuff.

**Eanae** · 2012-08-30 03:04

He should have known better. Arena net is going ape shit with the ban finger. They have no warning system. Offensive name or using overly offensive profanity in map chat is an instant 72 hour ban.

**Gokulo** · 2012-08-30 03:06

They're just lifting some pressure from the servers :D

Oh well lol I got a levels worth of exp from getting cooking to 90 from doing that. Was just gonna do enough to get like 10 gold or something to be set for a bit and maybe dick around in WvW with. I did it right after the maint so didn't get to sell my 500 poppers. I have a decent food to give people in my guild by the hundreds though now. rofl

**Prothescar** · 2012-08-30 05:21

Anyone having issues joining/leaving parties?

**Kuishen** · 2012-08-30 05:23

Part of the whole guild/party issues thing they know about and are working to fix.

**vadre** · 2012-08-30 06:35

Having come from WoW and it's queuing system for PvP, GW2's system is just amazing. Love being able to just join a server and then have fast-paced matches over and over. It's kind of a shame that me and my 2 buddies I was playing with couldn't all team up very often (we were usually in the top 2-3 being as we were doing everything together so autobalancing kicked one of us off the team each match, usually me

) but it was still a hell of a lot of fun.

**Prothescar** · 2012-08-30 08:38

Just discovered the Currency Exchange. awesome.

**Dantrag** · 2012-08-30 09:15

TP was down when I logged in this morning ;/

**Eanae** · 2012-08-30 09:21

Arena net's response to Kripp:

So great, lol
