I'm always up for group activities! Been scarce the past couple weeks, but got some level 50+ on both sides that I'll be active on for the next few. See you in game!

When someone is cross class flying, what advice do you have, my fed main is an eng in a bug for instance.

How flexible should power allocation be in combat, does it have any real affect?

When deciding devices, should you heighten your strengths, or try to limit your weaknesses?

Personally I use both with Kel'el or however you spell her name. Keep them on constant rotation also with the Boff that reduces Emergency Power abilities.

Question... I assume your applying speed tanking with the Emp to Engs? On a personal note, i'd rather have the emp to shields as well as emp to eng. It improves tank ability and allows for higher defense ratings.

I'm only curious :P I've been tinkering, which is why i'm asking.

so bao and I tried the trait out. It showed a max stack of 3, but it netted about 23% damage. the tooltip says

"This effect can stack up to 5 times.
*When receiving kinetic damage 5% to increase outgoing energy damage by 5% (stacks up to 5 times)"

Maybe the buff icon thingy is bugged and only shows 3 stacks, but it probably does stack 5

I have a few questions that can't wait until June 7:

-Has anyone used Fluidic Coccoon[sic] to effectiveness? I was thinking since tractor beams do kinetic damage and the borg cutting beam deals kinetic damage, and that it ca stack up to 25% with no cool down it could be useful. Think of all those cloaked tractor beam mines..

-Sensor analysis..how do you negate it? Apparently they changed it since i last played.

I haven't even made a klingon yet. I might just make one now!

Sounds like a good plan! Yay!!! Erm... i mean Q'apla! :)

I just came back here to post what I found out.. When in sector space I get Diplomatic Investigations from Jiro Sugihara in the available missions tab. There are always three. I realised that the coolodwn for them is around half an hour or so! I bet you know it but maybe there is someone like me who didn't bother to look at the available missions till the next day to see if there are some more Investigation missions.
This is awesome because one mission is 100 diplomatic xp. That way you can get 300 in an hour if you do other stuff. I am able to gain like a 1000 in one day if I am able to play for a few hours :D I was at 74.000 two days ago, now it's almost 80.000. Yay :)

If this year is a fraction as fun as last year, I promise it to be a blast and a hoot*!


* ratio of blast to hoot not guaranteed.

Figured I ought to contribute my self-proclaimed most versatile zerk mes build~!:

Link to the build on gw2skills.net

Basics: 6 / 4 / 4 / 0 / 0
Greatsword and sword/torch, pretty much everything zerk. If you don't have all zerk or want more of a health buffer, swapping some for soldiers/knights pieces is fine too.

I've been using this build plus or minus some minor changes for so many months now, I can't even remember. I don't like switching around traits and gear and stuff all the time, so I've developed an awesome all-around build that does a ton of damage backed up by some pretty darn good survivability that I use in wuv, pve, fractals, w/e.

Have you ever heard the adage "all good mesmer builds are weak to conditions"? Well not this one :p I used to use Prismatic Understanding with my torch offhand because it's amazing and with things like Decoy and Mass Invis it's just soo good. But that's only strong against physical damage; still weak to condi's. So I moved more points into the Domination trait line to get Cleansing Conflagrations which is one of my new favorite mes traits. It's soo damn good

2) We will but probably not untill later on because KDF and Rommulan ships are not laid out as neatly as the fed ship types. I can tell you however that when we talk about carriers and hangar-ed ships we will have to talk about a few KDF ships and of course the Scimitar

I figured as much, the kdf have 4 completely different types and even each of the roms are very different from each other.

Questions outside the main topic:
1) Can you give us a clue as to the upcoming topics for the pvp livestreams?
2) Will you be diving into Warbirds and kdf ships in the livestreams?

1) Cruisers are coming the cruisers are coming!

Questions for pvp itself:
1) I have a fleet mogai, being run by an eng (http://www.stoacademy.com/tools/skillplanner/?build=saihsamog_4650), he is using the uni console for another sci station to give it 2 ensign and 2 lt sci skills. This makes it tough in pve, will i have to swap this for pvp?
2) This character also has a Ar'Kif and Scimitar he will eventually set up, would either of these be "proper" choices to build up for pvp?
3) On escorts is boosting power to engines on the power allocation necessary/acceptible/meh?

thats it for now.

There are four of us who try to group (but time zones and work it is difficult) and there are others joining in so soon we shall be able to arrange everything (although we all have to level up).

Last year I created my first KDF character just so I would have someone to attend this with, now I have 3 :) Super excited to see this come around again

I´m looking forward to this event!

Q'apla!

I will be there.
