Status Update: Tequatl Rising

So the latest living story update is the Tequatl's Rising. All the major World Bosses across Tyria have gained upgrades to their combat mechanics, timers for a victory to be achieved and enhanced loot drops to compensate for the increased difficulty.

As of this posting I have tried the Event three times and have failed each time. For the moment I am going to focus on travelling across Tyria and collecting the various 'clues' so that I can obtain the living story achievements. 6000 Achievement points here I come.

I have been on vacation since my august posting and it turns out most of my Guild has also gone on vacation or taken a break from the game in this time span. I hope to now rally my guild and get some guild events going again.


I'm still trying out the new WvW update which created a new mechanic in the Mist Wars called 'bloodlust' with a whole new set of capture points that my server has to compete over. Thanks to all this, WvW has become a lot more active and of course more laggy. For those of us who had to put up with about 5 fps in Keep battles this extends the region in which we have to deal with low frame rates to include the former lake regions now.

 

Alrun Gunnarson

This is my main character in Guild Wars 2 as well as my main Roleplay character. As my main you will find me running most of the living story and WvW content with Alrun over all my other characters. I play on the Tarnished Coast Server as part of Clan Wolfmane.

Currently I am running a Beserker Build with Alrun focusing on mobility and continuous DPS at all times.  One of the key parts of this build is that I can keep up a near continuous switfness and might so that I can chase down my foes, especially in WvW and bring them down fairly quickly.
Beserker Build.
 
Alrun's professions are Cooking and Armorsmithing. Cooking being his forte.

Roleplay:
Alrun is a Norn Warrior serving in the Vigil. After being attacked by some strange Charr during a Moot, Alrun has realized he needs companions who have his back and can help him out when he is in a pinch. Thus he joined Clan Wolfmane and works as a Warlord in charge of adventuring and hunting down powerful foes.
