Guild Wars 2 POVs of raids, strikes and fractals in PUGs (pick up groups), to hopefully show how to perform well in PUG squads. Builds can be found on snowcrows.com. I play on both NA and EU servers. Do say hi if you see me in pug groups!
NA: xedes.5024
EU: xedes.3751
My older videos were of interesting / close games in ranked PvP. I used to main soulbeast (previously druid) and drift between Plat 1 and Gold 3, so not pro-level but hopefully still decent gameplay. I don't bother uploading one-sided matches.
Constructive gameplay criticism welcome. Hope you enjoy the videos!

This is a bit of a rough fight for unload deadeye because it has short bursty phases and this build doesn't have any burst. It's always a day instance in this strike so you make use of the night sigil bonus either. That being said 15k isn't terrible, right in the middle of PUG DPS territory, and I ...

An update on my favourite celestial hybrid heal build, Dec 2024. With warhorn5 now giving group swiftness, the relic slot has been freed from Febe to Fractal for better DPS. As always there are many possible gear variations; for example you could sacrifice 10% boon duration for Sigil of Torment for 1k DPS.

Log: dps.report/Rbww-20241206-140504_li Kaineng Overlook aka Minister Li CM. Pretty decent build to play here, allowing newer players to focus on mechanics. Good cleave for splits, although shorter range than cvirt, great cc in basilisk venom if you need it. There was an incident at the end of split2, a few people went to CC the sniper who had died to condis, so couldn't get down and died. And ...

GG really i try to do it but never find gp for it and my guild are not the best for the hard part of the game 🤣
@@yasha3740 you should try training discord groups, such as Raid Academy for NA and Crossroads Inn for EU. There are frequent training runs where you can learn these, they're not hard :)
@xedes oh ok ty im gonna try to find one for eu player's
@@yasha3740 it's this one Crossroads Inn: discord.com/invite/the-crossroads-inn-226398442082140160
music?
1m golem is Vincent's theme from Final Fantasy 7, piano collections. 4m golem is Tatakau Monotachi (Those Who Fight) from Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children, piano version.
as a brand new gw2 player i am so scared rn
eh why? raids are generally pretty easy, there are a few difficult ones, but Keep Construct isn't one of them.
That's a lot of damage for a healer. O_o
Yup, that's why I love playing cele builds.
now F3 is part of the rotation again?
@wishfallen F3 is a DPS gain if you can get it to hit reliably, sometimes it misses moving targets or misses part of the attack on small targets.
It's great to see Scourge as a top DPS in the new content. Go team scourge! Do you mind sharing your build?
@@mrdalandan5960 hey thanks, here's the build: snowcrows.com/builds/raids/necromancer/condition-scourge Scourge is good to provide some team support, but for outright DPS it's overshadowed by a lot of other classes.
@xedes yeah, that's the one I am using. There is, no doubt, a better dps class, but the scourge is so beautiful in every way :) Unfortunately, I can't squeeze stable 25k, so I'm roaming around YT in search of some wisdom. Was very happy to see someone still paying it and making a video! Good luck, and thank you!
@mrdalandan5960 if you want help to get those numbers up feel free to post a DPS log, happy to give some pointers. Or try asking on the Snowcrows public discord, people there are friendly too and can help you to get better at the rotation.
@mrdalandan5960 the first question I would ask is whether you are correctly geared, have given yourself boons from the console and given the golem 25 vulnerability.
So the lfg strat is gonna b stack on Greer, and don’t split? Is that what I’m understanding?
@@OfMiceAndRice from the small number of strats I've seen so far, this is definitely the quickest way. Stack on Greer at the start, reflect the orbs from the adds, only kill the adds when you have to (which is when Greer invuln into a bubble at I think 50%), and move as a ball rather than split the subs between the adds.
Virtuoso is op, so a few days ago I took my mesmer out of jp, set (power and condi) builds and I'm trying to get used to them by doing my daily stuff, and in the meantime I go to train on the dummy. I haven't sweated so much pressing skills like crazy in a long time. 🥲
@@vanhohenheim9083 haha glad you like it. Condi virt in particular is very forgiving if you mess up your rotation as it's priority based and autos still give bleed and hit for a lot. It also has a free stunbreak and invuln.
We got this kill on pre-nerf Decima by the way!
@@Narcin-Roc ooo yes, you're right, we did. I wasn't sure when the stealth nerf happened but I can see the 83m hp in this log.
Nice! Got Decima earlier today. Such a good fight!
Nice nice. Yeah I think Decima is the most interesting fight of the three.
Nicely done! Impressive, single healer run.
Dope! I just geared one this morning.
Have fun!
Nice! :)
whats that dps addon? and is there something for pvp?
@@DanjoTV it's called arcdps, easy to install and really good. I don't know whether it works for PvP, never tried.
It works in pvp as well
Is bread your static xedes ?
@@itsshow710 it was my static for a year and a half but I stopped being a regular member as I had other RL commitments. I still backup for them occasionally though!
Is this after the spear nerf?
@@frankmills1917 this was before
Top😊
That one herald was insane
Yeah spear was still busted then
😊
idk If you've tried condi holo with the speak if so curious how you think it would compare to this cause I'm debating on which of the two engi specs to go with for my condi one.
@@TheBushidoDragon I haven't tried cholo on spear yet, imo currently there is not much reason to as cholo only benches 1k higher than cmech with a much harder rotation. The ramp up is much quicker though so there is a case for playing it at short phase bosses like VG where you need a cDPS.
Really nice
Nice

Hi there. Why relic of claw?
Because I made a mistake, it should be relic of fireworks. I accidentally used the same setup as book chrono 😢
nice
still strong anyway, what do you think about unload DE now? I am about to make Thief for the first time.
@@Ballisong94 I've seen the memes about upload deadeye, it's really good considering you press very few buttons. I wouldn't necessarily recommend it unless you just want to have fun or need to play an accessible build.
@@xedes wait... so unload DE that recently I see is kind of meme build but friendly enough and well enough to do dps? hmm I guess you right will put on the list
@@Ballisong94 yes, it does a decent amount of DPS and (to my understanding) almost needs no button presses (except F1) and pistol3 which you can put on auto cast
Warrior! I tried his spear a few days ago and really liked it. A while ago I decided that I would try both berserker and spellbreaker, and now I see a notification about this video. :D
@@vanhohenheim9083 haha hope you like it. I like spear on warrior, the spear2 and spear4 targetting can be annoying sometimes but the ranged option is really nice
how do you prevent your videos from like minor buffering where it plays at 1400 but dips to 740p through the recorded game play? I took my from my stream, do i need to record it separately?
@@TheSimpleManLife not sure. I just record using the windows game bar win+G, but I've been told OBS is really good so you can try that?
Hi Xedes, thanks for sharing, question 1) when play berserker, do i need to wait for the resource bar to be full on animation? I've watched SC rotation it seems he use F1 after weapon skill while the animation bar doesnt fully ready. 2) when should i use spear F1? I saw from the video he use F1, healing F1 almost at the same time. What should I note here? Thanks for your development :)
@@ggjidi8758 you can spam F1 when you know you're going to fill your adrenaline bar. It takes 3 hits to get the full bar so if you follow the SC rotation you can almost always queue F1. In the spear loop yes you want to F1 heal F1, and all of those can be queued too. The only one you can't queue is the first F1 in spear as it will otherwise cancel your spear3. Hope that helps!
@@xedes Hi Xedes, thanks a lot 😊

Yes this is from a long time ago...

Nice one, i always try to play mirage and basically do the whole staff 5 + axe 2 + shatters combo but just cant seem to even get close to the benchmark unlike other characters, its like i am just missing something but idk, whenever i watch your vids i just get the urge to try it again.

POV: Devs get carried at their own game
13.7k on a virt is indeed crazy work but also remember that Anet devs include art and coding staff

hi xedes, have u try any spear already?
@@ggjidi8758 not yet, I've been away so haven't played any Janthir Wilds yet. But I will this coming week
@@xedes i tried warror and mesmer, the dmg is teally good.
How do you feel about spear over pistols for this build?
@@zach_ry I've been on holiday, so haven't had the chance to play Janthir Wilds yet. But from the benchmark videos I've seen spear seems easy and also good damage. Will try it soon and post some videos.
Cool vid👍
