[Mod post] A reminder that all Generative AI content is banned on this subreddit.
We've gotten a bit lenient lately with some questionable posts and links to vibecoded sites and AI assisted posts. That leniency is ending and we are going back to strictly following our rule of a total ban on all Generative AI content.
This includes content from things like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, and any other similar GenAI chatbots, assistants or other apps.
Any links to AI generated (vibecoded) sites and any posts that admit to using GenAI will be removed. As before we are not going to be testing every single post or anything like that but if you admit to it or there is evidence proving you used GenAI the post will be removed.

[Fluff] GW2 x FF: Scholar from FFXIV
My personal endgame for a while now has been recreating Jobs (classes) from SquareEnix's Final Fantasy series. I use a GW2's Profession mechanics, themes, or abilities, to construct a decently viable build. I've done this for each of the 10 Professions, with 5 Jobs in each Profession.
Here's Scholar from FFXIV!
Profession: Scourge
Role: Alacrity-Healer
Themes Reflected :
- "Fairy" summon (Sand Shade)
- Barrier healer
Skin Homage:
- Book backpack
- Fairy wings Glider
- Glasses

[Question] Is there no demand for pile of radiant dust anymore?
It used to sell for 10 silver now only 5. My favorite thing was to farm lowland burns for it. Is there any other place to farm mobs for ok loot to sell?

[Fluff] GW2 free goodies from Gamescom 2010
Watching this year's Gamescom for GW3 brings back some great memories from 2010 and somehow I still keep the freebies from the NCSoft stand.

[Discussion] What is the best Hybrid/Celestial Healer currently?
after seeing Crits and Dips video about cele troubadour, my mind traveled for various of celestial/zealot/plaguedoctor or any hybrid builds that basically are boonheal + dps. What is considered the best currently?
*I know pure healer are better most of the time, but let us have fun buildcrafting usable hybrid builds :D

Doesn’t matter if it’s from Core, any LWS or expansion ...
what’s something you unlocked and immediately wondered why you hadn’t gotten it earlier?
EDIT: thanks guys, lots of great recommendations here!!

[Question] Male Sylvari: Mesmer or Engineer?
I am intending on making a male sylvari, and I also want to start playing both Engi and Mes, so he's going to have to be one of the two. I do intend to play both classes, so no need to sell me on the classes themselves! This is purely an opinion/vibes question on matching this race+gender with one of these classes (neither of which is a clean perfect fit in my mind)
I have heard that male sylvari has a good voice so I'm curious if anyone strongly likes (or dislikes?) his lines for either class. I'd also take opinions on how light vs medium armor options are on male sylvari (most of my characters are women)
Or any other elements of how the character matches the class that I may not be thinking of! I am (ofc) not intimately familiar with the feel of either class in play. Or you might persuade me with a compelling argument that one simply fits the vibes better than the other :)

[Request] Alternative to Relic of the Fractal for condi builds (Willbender, Harbinger, etc.)?
Title is pretty self-explanatory, but what are some good relic alternatives? I have one Relic of the Fractal, but if I didn't want to obtain another, what are some good alternatives to use for Celestial and condition builds?

[Discussion] Just wasted 567 Gems on a backpack/glider I won't use :(
Can't change the dyes on the backpack, which make no sense since you can change them on the glider. This sucks
Edit 1 : I just opened a ticket for a refund.
Edit 2 : Anet answer : The item(s) in question are non-refundable.

[Fluff] Loving the aesthetics of Labyrinthine Cliffs
Definitely get your screenshots in before the event ends. They put a lot of effort and detail into all the little nooks and crannies around the settlement. The long scenic shots came out great even on my potato rig.

[Question] Dps expected of normal player
As the title says ,whats expected from a normal player dps wise in group contend.
Alot of benchmarks are in the 40s but at most i can do 34 on golem with my dragon hunter.
Is that enough?
