Power Mechanist vs Power Scrapper. Both have 2/5 for difficulty.

Was thinking about this for fun. I only can think of two maybe three instances that would fit but I‘m not that deep into the community so I probably don’t know them. My thoughts are:

\#1 Halloween Maze farm because you’re running in endless circles without much input breaks fueled by a solid fomo of not tagging mobs / applying boons.

\#2 The OG Leather/Harathi Farm from like 10y ago in one of the LW Maps basically for the same reasons. High Pace running in endless circles with tagging-fomo. remember one commander who used to do this up to 15h a day haha.

\#3 Maybe something like the old Mai Trin Fractal farm but I never did that one. Just from my experience with the fractal, I guess you can kinda space out while doing your rotation but it must‘ve been boring as hell to do this all day. But certainly nicer than the other ways of mass-tagging, same with the old molten boss farm.

Would like to hear some other outliers the weirder and physically and psychologically taxing the better haha. Those farm where you won‘t get much downtime for your brain and can‘t even really look on a second monitor.

Warning: the text below contains major spoilers for the End of dragons DLC.

I have done the Soo-Won meta over 50 times already and I think the Soo-Won meta is among the best, if not the best meta there is. 1 hour before the meta starts, you can prepare sections of the map and complete events, in order to increase your damage during the meta. Then the next hour the meta starts. This almost 1 hour lasting meta is one that actually requires a commander and teamwork to complete. It's not one that you can just walk through without commander, further reïnforcing the meta feel of this meta. You split up in 3 lanes, complete some events, push through certain sections and clear your way to the boss. When the 3 lanes are done you all gather back in the middle to complete one final event before the boss. During this event you gather elder dragon essence, a pullback to everything that happened before this meta. The killing of Zhaitan, Mordemoth, Kralkatorrik, Jormag and Primordus, now one final dragon left, Soo-Won.

You travel to the top of the tower where you will finally meet the void corrupted Soo-Won. During the meta you will have to deal with Soo-Won's powerful AoE attacks, which are, in comparison to some newer metas, clearly noticable. The meta has multiple phases. Defeating mini bosses, fighting adds and reuniting your soul from the bottom of the tower with your body on the top of the tower. For me it's the powerful music, desperate pleas of Aurene and Soo-Won's powerful attacks that give this meta the end of the world/all or nothing vibe that I enjoy.

Is the meta more profitable than some others, to make up for the duration? Not really, but the meta is a lot of fun and the devs made something special. I will definitely do this meta another 50 times.

I'm no stranger to a long grind and already have a few legendaries, but I'm like 70%-ish into the first Obsidian set and I don't know if I can stomach another set.

Sure I know other avenues exist but I'm not really into the other game modes, and where I'm from the ping is quite bad so doing ranked PvP is griefing my team.

So yeah for the people who did 3 sets, how can you stomach the grind? How long did you take for all 3 sets?

Coming back after a very long forced absence. Did they nerf the bladesworn? I swear I was doing 5X more damage before.

Maybe it’s just me though…

The only single X on the outer ring, all other ones are double

Pretty much title.

Whenever I play the game, my interact key is being pressed basically constantly, which is very disrupting. Passing by any NPCs/objects trigger an interaction leading to dismount/visual clutter during combat, or trigger rez at inopportun moment in group content.

I've tried a few things, mostly turning on and off both the auto attack on my weapon skill and the "Rick click/Double click to attack/interact" setting, but it doesn't do anything.

My Interact key is bound to C.

It doesn't seem to be my keyboard, the key isn't being spammed when writing elsewhere, and no other key exhibit a similar behaviour in game.

Do you have an idea of what could be causing this problem?

I’ve been thinking about playing the game for a bit and some of the elite specs look really fun, my only issue is that the professions/classes(?) tied to them aren’t as interesting to me. So my question is, is it possible to unlock elite specs before 80? If not, how long does it typically take to get to 80?

I just did a event Train from the LFG, not sure what it was as l was only planning to test out my new hearld l made. I'll done the bauble farm. Is there a new event farm in VOE .

I'm a bit confused as to what the new items BLING 9009 sells after completing the new CM 94 fractal are. On the achievement it says he has new items to offer but I don't see a new tab for Solitary Throne (CM94), nor new items in the existing tabs. Is it a bug, or is it not implented yet?
