Ol' General Typhus and I were about to make a breakthrough and aquire a new green, then he fell asleep at his keyboard. Screens tomorrow! (I believe it's a ranger green, but seeing as Rotwing is necro and dropped a bow, who knows.)

So this won't be the last unique weapon update I would guess.
I also remember AW stating somewhere in one of the coke play threads, that they were also going to make those skins, available to the american and european players too. I want that necro staff... ffs

Didn't they make them available in the SE? (Special Edition (not collectors)).

No, I was making a comment based on someones suggestion that hey should have items like these in game for short amounts of time. I have no issues with drop rates or rarity, but the regular players should still have the chance to get items without having to put up with farmers price gouging them. Rare items in an RPG are common, but having rare items that dissapear as drops after a few weeks is just stupid.

No, it doesn't help regular players. How does having to take time out of their lives to play for hours on end to get something they want that is going to dissapear in a couple of weeks otherwise be forced to pay some farmers ridiculous idea of 'a good price' help them in any way?

I'm going to disagree with this paragraph. It doesn't take hours on end to obtain these greens. They drop rate is decent, and the trick is take the least amount of people possible.

Everything in that statement applies to just about every green and high-end item in Guild Wars except for the "that is going to dissapear in a couple of weeks" part. What I suggested was that we get new greens to 'replace' these each month. So what if they 'missed their opportunity' to get those specific greens. They can get the new ones, sell those, if they wish, to afford the ones they want. Any intelligent trader could figure out how to play that market.

Which is really what I was appealing to, the intelligent trader, not the time-wasting farmer. I hate grinding with a passion. Which is another reason I suggested this. If these items disappear, then new ones are randomly scattered, it becomes harder to farm. You have to allow for time to find the items, then figure out what the best way is to get these items on a regular basis.

These current greens will become so common in this market that these unique rare skins won't be so unique or rare anymore. Not that I care about that. I just like the idea of really rare, hard-to-find items. The treasure hunter in me

sorry, i cant remember its name, but the hammer that does cold damage might be a good 'prefix' if combined with Cojure Frost (for 60 seconds, if you're wielding a cold weapon, your attacks strike for an additional 1...13 cold damage). It might not work that well, but the Cold upgrade ist completly useless.

Does anyone know if the new green are the honorable mentions from the weaponsmith contest? And if so, does anyone know what other weapons have been decided to honorable mention?

Yes, the weapon skins are those of the honorable mentions. No, Anet never released pictures of those honorable mentions, only the winners.

The easiest way to get the hammer and necro fan is to dou farm with 2 warriors.

One warrior must be a melee tank (Gladiator's defense, riposte, deadly rip, shields stance, defensive stance ,heal sig, dolyak, and sprint to get their.). the other Warrior must be a high dmg to run in and take out the all the casters (he also needs remove hex to take barbs off of the tank). I think he used whirling axe to take them down fast. We did this for a couple hours and I got 3 greens (2hammers and a fan), of course I did give one hammer to my friend.

After that we got bored and went to farm the FOW while it was still bugged. Only got a couple shards though.

That's a pretty low level area to have a green... but who knows.

do you realize in one paragraph say one thing, then sway pretty much to the other side on the second one?

you hate grinding, yet you do want/like "unique rare skins"? and i dont see how your idea would reduce farm time, as essentially ull spend a shitload of time finding the new greens..

sounds too much like the old "why is FOW armor so expensive, why isnt it cheaper" thing

anyway, theres nothing rare/expensive in gw anymore, only the good old serpent, crystalline, dwarven items, which are severely losing in value on general it seems

I have to disagree with that.

Crystallines still seem like they have alot of value, with 15% while enchanted going for like 100 ectos+

Dwarvens are holding in value.

Serpents have enormous value as well, a 13% stance one went for 65 ecto a while ago.

As with many mods, it's a situational thing. Any tank that has an affinity towards hammers certainly wouldn't mind taking this one with them for the Fire Islands missions. Also if you were to take a taxi to 'The Deep' and spam this weapon it'd sell in 10 seconds flat. Hammers, cold weps and Spinal Shivers being a widely used tactic there.

compare that to 24mil crystallines of the past 100 ecto is nothing.. I also said that those are the ONLY truely rare items, and are the most expensive.however everything else than 14-15>50 is dropping down in price.. plz read my post next time

I erased the build from the screen... but here it is anyway, I did not invent this build.. I just adjusted it:

[Arcane Echo]
[Vengeful was Khanahei]
[Vengeful Weapon]
[Soothing Memories]
[Ancestors Visage]
[Sympathetic Visage]
[Physical Resisitance]
[Resilient Weapon]

Restoration: 16 [12+1+3]
Illusion: 11
Inspritation: 8

Thats all I'll tell, there is more fun in finding the rest out yourself instead of becoming a farming machine...

Has anyone been sucessful with killing Rotscale duo? We can kill everything around him just fine, but cant do near enough dmg to even slightly wound him. What we do is typical 55 build with SS necro. Except that we get the necro 60% dp (superior runes work too), and let him tank. Monk is the key, setup is:
Shield of Judgement
Glyph of Lesser Energy
Healing Breeze
Protective Spirit
Mending
Essence Bond
Blessed Aura
Blessed Signet

Pretty much just stay barely in range of QZ, spam blessed signet for energy and keep SoJ, healing breeze, and prot up.

I have the necro tank, and try to keep blood renewal up. Don't forget you have to deal with 11 degeneration almost constantly. Necro can't really do much, its almost lucky to even get blood renewal up. But spiteful ect when you can.
