Si, Everything.

In 32 months I've only ever had the one level 20 PvE guy, my Ranger.

Though "everything" as of late hasen't been much, either busy in RL or Dom Mesing in PvP, though I still do Ranger plenty in PvP.

I'm not a fan of title grinding and I've pretty much maxed out my gold so farming is out. TBH I think it's time for a new game.

What are you guys talking about.

The most ranted about build in all of guild wars is...TOUCH RANGER.

here is how it works.

Get your Expertise up to 16. that is Headpiece with Expertise and a Major run of Expertise.

Then add vampiric Bite, Vampiric touch with Plague touch and the Elite is Offering of Blood.

Then get the skill that boosts the Blood and curses 2 attribute points for 40 seconds or so.
Take a self heal..troll ungent with a minor rune of wilderness survival and you still have 2 vacant spots.

Use the Troll ungent when agroing in case you get crippled and can not touch someone. Then touch touch away. Cleanse yourself of conditions when you get hexed.

I do a MASSIVE 68 Damage every second and my energy is 62. It costs me 5 energy for a 15 energy skill all others have energy cost of 1. Mohhohahahaaaa!!!

I can do a massive 1000 + damage in 15 seconds SOLO. Oh and all that damage turns into HEALTH for me. Add a few vampiric minions in there and Forgetaboutit.

Touch rangers suck in PvP. And if you want damage and survivability in PvE, go with Imbagon or Ursan.

Touch ranger is old news that is at best, annoying to others in PvP and at worst, lowers your IQ.

I just play solo with henches and try to get past the Hell's precipice.

It is damn hard! I wonder what strategy i must use to get past it! Something to utilize for the damage those Spark of the titans are doing. If there are 4 or more of them at the same time, i'm usually in trouble.

There's a point where you get to 6 at the same time, wonder what the makers of the game thought when they did that. Probably laughing their a**es off xD hehe j\k, i know you're supposed to get a team.. but i wanna play solo for a while ^^

Finally did hells precipice ^^

With

[Favorable winds][Marksman's wager][Penetrating attack][Power shot][Precision shot][Hunter's shot][Concussion shot][Resurrection signet]

Standing on range dealing lots of damage, interrupting those Spark titans with Conc shot and pulling monsters worked wonders!

Congrats!

In future though, I'd recommend checking wiki for some suggestions. Typically that mission is run using Winter (you can take skills to reduce the dmg you take from cold and the titans aren't a big fan of that dmg type either). You could have run Hero's who pump out cold dmg (i.e. water Ele) or run things like Ward against Elements or Ward against Harm to help reduce the dmg if you didn't feel like taking winter.

anywho, happy pew pewing!

Winter converts fire damge to cold damage that is why you bring it.You don't need water skills on an Ele as Nukers are always in that mission.

It may not have come across that way, but those were meant as two seperate suggestions. In commenting on dmg reduction skills, this also could be done for fire if you choose (or even insignia's and weapons mods or all of the above - whatever floats your boat) but the titans take more dmg from cold hence the winter or the water ele's. Winter is also a good consideration since greater conflaguration is kicking around.

That sure would make the hero portion of the suggestion a bit tough

Nuking does more AoE damage than water as water as lots of snares.It is not that effective titan sparks since they have Meteor Showers.What does insginas have to with this and Greater Conflag will effect you to?

I'll assume "nuking" is meant as the fire line? I do agree that Fire does more AoE dmg although the scattering effect isn't always the most desired. Since several of the "titans" die and spawn another titan varient, I always preferred to dispatch them in bite sized pieces (granted we're talking prophicies though so several extra AI isn't usually a big concern even in HM).

as for a water build that i've used in the past and the bot seems to be ok with:

[Shatterstone][Glowing Ice][Blurred Vision][Water Attunement][Maelstrom][Freezing Gust]

Now I typically fill the last two spots with [Glyph of Lesser Energy] and then a rez (often a /Mo hard rez) but I’d imagine these two skills could be played with.

I’ve also run 2 of these bots in the past where one usually has [Maelstrom] and the other would carry [Deep Freeze]

*** SORRY FOR POSTING ELE BUILDS IN A RANGER SECTION ***

wiki Hell's Precipice: http://www.wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Hell%27s_Precipice

wiki Spark of the titans: http://www.wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Spark_of_the_Titans

I don't see where they are using Meteor Shower. Rodgort's Invocation and Mind Burn are teh suck though.

Maybe you're referring to the random Meteor's in the mission itself?

Insignias and weapon mods weren't specifically realted to Greater Conflag but to dmg reduction. If you're taking something like Winter, you know that the majority of the damage will be one type hence you can prepare for it (that and considering Greater Conflaguration is in the mission, this would further that prep). Skills like Mantra of Frost would work. Insignias like Frostbound would work. Inscriptions on a sheild like "Leaf on the Wind" would work (or "Man of all Seasons on a focus would work). Weapon Suffixes like "of Warding" or "of Defense" would work.

There's also focus swapping to consider too based on the current effects.

Never the less, the fellow has made it through the mission now so this is all a moot point.
