Status Update

Unfortunately I have started to find games other than Guild Wars 2 that I have become much more interested in. So I've decided to change this from an exclusively Guild Wars 2 Blog into a blog about my gaming interests in general.

To those who've visited and are disappointed. I'm sorry but this is what feels right to me. To newcomers welcome, I hope you will find my new series to be much more interesting.

Futhur updates are on the way

Guild Wars 2 Characters

Alrun Gunnarson - Main Character
Norn Warrior lvl 80 - DPS/Buff
Description: Greatsword as main weapon with sword and warhorn as the secondary gear. As my main Alrun is usually the character I use for living story events and most dungeon runs. He is quite recently also gained a Commander's Tag.






Relga Thorwalds
Norn Guardian lvl 80 - Tank/Support Build
Description: Equipped with a Greatsword and Staff Relga is my main Dungeon runner. Using an Altruistic Healing build she drops tons of buffs and can tank quite well.


Zaaik
Asura Elementalist lvl 80
Build: - All around Elementalist
Description: I'm constantly changing Zaaiks weapon set. In PVE I switch between scepter/focus or dagger/dagger while in WvW I mainly use the Staff. However Zaaik is constantly using Conjured weapons as his utility so he is more of a weapon master type Elementalist.

Talia Shadowseeker
Human Thief lvl 78- Condition DPS build
 Description - Currently an exclusive PVE character that I made for fun. I love how mobile the thief is. I have yet to find a fixed combat setup for her.

Heavyscythe
Sylvari Necromancer lvl80
Description: I've got to be in the game somewhere right ? I'm making him into a staff/ Deathshroud necromancer who spends a lot of time in Deathshroud or using the staff. It is still early and I'm still learning the intricacies of the Necromancer.

Edgewene Sunray
Sylvari Mesmer lvl 35
Description: Named her after a character from the Wheel of Time series who was killed off way to early (sorry for the spoiler).  I created her because I wanted to have a WvW exclusive character. I'm still leveling her and figuring out the various mechanics of the Mesmer... turns out they are just as complicated to play as they are to face against in combat.

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.

Sorry for being away for so long.

Hello all who've been visiting my blog.

I apologize for the long hiatus my blog has taken, but now I am back again. I will f- ocus on putting up blog posts about all the things I see in Guild Wars 2 and activities I'm taking part in. I will try to have one post a week minimum from now on.

That said here is a quick update on whats happened so far:
- I now have a total of 7 characters on my accounts 1 in each class except for the Ranger.
- I've increased my bank tab so i now have 4 tabs for storing goods in my personal bank.
- My guild has done some restructuring with me moving up in the leadership chain.
- I'm aiming for 2 builds on my main character a 'Magic-Find' set for general PVE content. And a 'Tank' set for WvW.
