Isn't Ring of Fire cast around you? You will stand in it anyway and can just immediately follow up with Phoenix.

Also the husk is burning permanently because of Ring of Fire and Dragon's tooth mostly. The trait only helps keeping it up. Signet of Earth looks pretty useful, I wouldn't replace that.

Wow, if I had bigger feet and a beard I would be Darkward. Everything else matches perfectly.

Oh, and the hamster... mine had a strange german name I actually forgot.

Also remember this condi guide which can also be found in the Wurm guide section of this forum:

Damond (the author) is a really experienced necro and he\'s melting husks really fast.
So regarding gear: If you have/can afford multiple sets and can swap sets before phase 2: Take Dire or Rabid for phase 1 and swap to Berserker/Rampager for phase 2.

I don\'t find runs frustrating if we do a decent job. I find it frustrating to spend several hours organizing such an event and apart from the core of like 20 people (essentially those registered on this forum) nobody seems to care and we fail miserably.

As long as we are only doing Tequatl and phase 1 of the Wurm I agree with Mister Fussypants. We could just use the pugs and type. This is annoying but might/should succeed.

Where we really need people on TS is for phase 2. In that phase we simply don\'t have the time to type. And it requires much more coordination and faster reactions. Pugs won\'t react, die and worst of all: make the Wurm rush out of the corner.

I think we should give it a try though:
- Tell pugs that there is our TS
- Continue with the try, even if we don\'t have numbers on TS
- Type all the stuff
- After the fail tell pugs that it wasn\'t bad, we could do better with more numbers and everyone on TS and try to recruit them for PSDH or for future attempts.
In short: trick them into joining PSDH
Naturally many of them will abandon us but if we only get one or two dedicated players from it it\'s already worth it.

This will require more effort, especially from commanders/people on \"typing duty\", but I for my part would be up for it.

If that happens... a long period of not killing would probably follow though.
Spread the word PSDH killed it and the next attempt we get a full map... filled with achievement hunters, first timers and people not coming on TS.

I agree that our Wurm tries are frustrating most of the time.

My motivation for organizing the Wurm is at the same time the solution I see:
Build a community with people that join TS, know what to do in encounters like this, are able to listen/follow what they are told and run builds/strategies that are useful in zerg events like this. With the goal to make our community a strong factor in PvE to kill the Wurm/Teq and possible future bosses, as well as the future living story. I\'m pretty sure something like the \"6 minutes to knightfall\" achievement will be repeated and a strong and experienced community is the best way to deal with that.
What we would need for that: More people and especially dedicated people.
How to get them: Clean PSDH from inactives/people that don\'t care about the events (I know this is being done atm but will take a few weeks) and then recruit more people. Recruit them especially at the events/in TS (!).
Possible problem: People with other home servers might be reluctant to join us because of our guild name.
I addressed that at a commander meeting right after the feature patch and want to repeat it: With Megaservers there is no longer Piken in PvE. And the original goal of PSDH got lost over time and because of megaservers anyway (it was to kill Teq on Piken daily).
So I think we should decide on a new (official) goal/motivation for the guild and act accordingly.
I don\'t know if there is a possibility to change a guild\'s name and don\'t want to suggest this either, but you have to face it: if we stay a \"Piken\" community we will never kill the Wurm.

Sorry for straying from the topic a little but the reason for the problem addressed in the start post and for our bad Wurm runs lies deeper. Not enough people on TS, bad commanders/condies/diboofers/might-stacking/whateveryouwanttocomplainabout, not enough overall people/dedication are only the symptoms.

Not sure how I have time this weekend but if I\'m online I will definitely join.

Hello!
As this is a community guild/project it really is a good idea to get to know each other a bit better.

For PSDH events I'm usually logged on my mesmer, Dob S, but as I'm not really happy as mesmer anymore (for several reasons, mainly missing bug-fixes) you might see me on my warrior, ele or guardian in future events. They all have Dobie in their name so they should be easy to recognize.
The nick Dobie doesn't originate in the name of the famous house elf btw. As a matter of fact it was simply a construct of random syllables I made up several years ago in another MMO.
Over the years I gathered a lot of experience with MMOs of all sorts, especially a fantastic game called Cabal Online which unfortunately got worse patch by patch and became unplayble for me about 2.5 years ago.

I'm from germany but my english seems to be good enough to communicate with you all. I apologize for the horrible accent you get to hear on TS though. Currently I'm studying to become a teacher for mathematics and physics so if anyone happens to still go to school and to urgently need an explanation on a topic... feel free to contact me and I'll try my best.

In GW2 I started half a year ago and am interested in most aspects of the game, especially the PvE side. I also played quite a bit of PvP but got slightly discouraged by players with 10x as much PvP experience and sitting at the top of the leaderboards stomping me. And WvW with its PvD, ZvZ and skill lag isn't really my favourite game mode either although I join and enjoy it every once in a while.

This should be enough about me...
See you ingame, fellow dragon hunters!
