Post patch its still a faceroll... Story mode is as easy as the dungeons come. As far as running a dungeon together, I'll pass from what you posted and your views on the difficulty of CM story mode I don't think I'd lose some hair. I don't have a problem giving advice while I'm on the forums and can't play anyways but my game time is for fun, not for teaching someone that has expressed a lack of interest in learning.
Of COURSE you'll pass... that was me calling you out, and you buckling. Lets be honest, you've never run CM post patch.. and you're blindly defending the game. Thats okay, I understand.. everyone here is a "L33T G@M3R" and everythings so easy for them.. right?
If not that, then we can do some sPvP instead maybe? I think you believe I don't know what I'm doing, and I'll be happy to prove you wrong. I'll even let you pick the class I'll play lol.
Sorry, my Guardian is level 70 and all I did from 35 on was do dungeon runs on him. I've ran CM post patch plenty, story mode after patch was still to easy to bring myself to do more than a few times to help some friends do story mode. Explore mode I do daily, I want my tokens lol. If we are being honest, the truth is simply the highlighted part of your post.
If you aren't willing to accept advice on the forums, theres no way I'm spending time trying to show you in game.
And no, not everyone here is 1337 or w/e you want to put there. CM Story is just hands down easy, there is no challenge there. It's one of the reasons I do explore mode only, that and it doesn't give tokens. The rest wasn't me saying explore mode is easy, it will still be a challenge but it isn't exactly difficult either if you take the advice I and others have given you.
Your very general advice that people do anyway isn't specific enough in encounters to actually be useful. Needless to say, we don't have to group for me to show you what I can do, I can just as easily fight against you in PvP, and I've livestreamed my gameplay plenty of times, I'll be happy to livestream the PvP or whatever dungeon we do.. or just record it and post it so all can see how "easy" the dungeons are for you and your group, or how awesome you are at playing a guardian in PvP.
The point I'm making is, its easy to talk a big game, and I'm done with it, I'm not going to sit here and tell you I'm an awesome player in a game where I can be a guest on any server and play with or against you at the drop of a hat, and record it to boot. You might think I'm a bad player, thats okay, I think you're full of it when you say dungeons are "easy" even with the inflated self confidence of a guardian, because lets face it.. if someone can't stay alive as a guardian, they probably should stop playing altogether.
I have an 80 Mesmer, 43 Ranger, 37 Elementalist, 20 Thief, and the last slot is open for testing PvP builds - so as I said, I'll be happy to sPvP with whatever class you want me to play, or play any number of dungeons.

I'd be happy to group with you (or anyone for that matter), though I don't really think it's necessary -- it seems to be that overall you and I agree that the dungeons are tough, but maybe they're not as fun for you as they are for me, and I'm happy to leave it at that.
I'm just here offering a different opionion from the OP, because I quite the dungeons and the game in general, and I do have a hope that some of the people who are having trouble with them stick with it. I almost gave up on them, but once I rounded the corner, my experience changed a lot.

I think a lot of it may have come off as arrogance, or anger or something, but honestly I'm fine with just grouping for fun and having a good time. I'd be happy to group with you and go through dungeons, as much for fun as it is to get a different perspective. For me, I'll group with anyone at any time whether I think they are bad or good, if they are bad, they get better if they are good, then fantastic!
I enjoy playing the game, don't get me wrong... I like playing with different builds and I like the diversity between classes, and I do like a challenging dungeon every now and then. I feel some parts of certain dungeons are too hard or unbalanced, and I'm mad that my rewards have gotten cut so much... I liked running them when the risk equaled the reward.

lol I really don't have anything to prove, its clear GrayGhost doesn't fancy playing with me, and thats okay, I am confident in my ability to play the game, I'm less confident that its so easy for everyone.. simply because I know my ability, and I've been in some really fantastic fully geared groups who still had trouble on some parts of certain missions, so I'm all for calling out those who are so much better than myself to see how good they really are.
Who knows, if he did play against me in PvP and beat me, or if he was on my team and showed me something I didn't know.... then at least I'd learn something new.

Sadly theres simply no point he's already thrown out his excuse. "Well sure, because your a Guardian".
I think that would be contradictory... if I thought Guardians were so overpowered, then I wouldn't have offered to face you in PvP. Its no lie that Guardians are known for their survivability, especially in PvE -- and how is that an excuse for anything? If nothing else it would prove me wrong if you were able to get through a dungeon or a PvP match completely unscathed.
Me playing my mesmer, I have damn good survivability, I stay at range, and all my pets do the damage, I can go invisible, reflect ranged damage, and put out so much condition damage its staggering. It pairs well with a guardian, and guardians are some of the toughest to kill in PvP for a mesmer due to the high heal/defense ratio and the mesmers traditionally low DPS and even lower defensive ability. The only thing worse than running a mesmer would be if you wanted me to run an elementalist in PvP, it would be all DPS on defense.

Just for you this is what I did. I joined a pug and sat my daughter down who has never done a dungeon in GW2. I coached her while she did the run. The pug had zero deaths, and zero repair bills. Took all of 20 minutes. She did hit my fraps button a few times because shes not use to my setup so it did cut off here and there but not durring any of the fights I think. She's been playing MMO's for years so don't think she is a complete newb.
In any case, it's gonna take hours to finish uploading the videos but when they are ready I will post links here.
So, story mode is cake for me and apparently CM story mode is cake for my daughter who hasn't done a single dungeon. Videos to follow...
I read just now that Anet will patch the dungeon difficulty and rewards in tonight's midnight patch. It will be interesting to see how they handle it. I personally hope they don't tone down the Explore mode difficulty, but I have a lot of confidence in their team -- judging by the rest of their game, they obviously are not idiots.

Yeah it's sad, but I do agree with the rewards needing to be upped lol. 30 tokens a run is just sad oO.
I don't know, we'll see. I'm not worried YET. As for the tokens... that part I am a bit sad for, if they swing to far in the other direction. MMOs for me are a long term thing -- meaning that I don't mind a lot of runs to get the gear I want, because it will mean that the reward for me is that much better. I'm patient I guess

I'm not impatient but... I actually want a full set of each of the dungeon armors for each of my toons oO. That way I can customize each set for a specific task or setup.

Oh jeez, this is not true to my experience. Aerowyn dont take this the wrong way but some things you post in these forums are just plain false. Please explain what encounters in which dungeons are easier with specific combo fields and Ill try them out and personally appologize to you.

Combo fields increase damage, add healing to you allies, adds conditions and debuffs to your enemy and buffs and removes debbuffs to you and your allies.
So I can't really see a fight where any one of these wouldn't help.

Yeah, gotta agree. I mean a single blind spell usually only lasts for one attack. Throw down the right combo field and you can keep a mob blind for a lot longer.

Combo fields increase damage, add healing to you allies, adds conditions and debuffs to your enemy and buffs and removes debbuffs to you and your allies.
So I can't really see a fight where any one of these wouldn't help.
Just saying..."all of them"..is like saying "learn to play". Asking for specifics to very general statements should be easy enough if you know what your talking about?

Oh jeez, this is not true to my experience. Aerowyn dont take this the wrong way but some things you post in these forums are just plain false. Please explain what encounters in which dungeons are easier with specific combo fields and Ill try them out and personally appologize to you.

Yeah, gotta agree. I mean a single blind spell usually only lasts for one attack. Throw down the right combo field and you can keep a mob blind for a lot longer.
I dislike 2 things in the dungeon design. Paths are to short, for my taste and most fight are way to easy. Some paths are so easy that even pug of low lvl (les traits) are able to clear it within an hour. When a guild is playing it becomes even easier...
This 2 aspects will make the dungeons boring fast. Need HM option, hope they will put it soon.
The dungeons take a bit of getting used to and it's different but definately doable without chain rezing. I didn't even think about combo fields that would make it even easier. All I do is on my necro if there is no other staff necros or bleed builds there due to stack limitations I poison / bleed the mob, fear to buy a bit more time, ds, fear to buy more time then repeat condition damage skills and switch weapons for more dps. I know there other ways to do with teleporting around without needing to fear as much which I also have fun experimenting with. Only tip I can give is try not to stand in the one spot all the time, revive it's important and maybe get better gear as you shouldn't be chain rezzing in dungeons.

Your very general advice that people do anyway isn't specific enough in encounters to actually be useful. Needless to say, we don't have to group for me to show you what I can do, I can just as easily fight against you in PvP, and I've livestreamed my gameplay plenty of times, I'll be happy to livestream the PvP or whatever dungeon we do.. or just record it and post it so all can see how "easy" the dungeons are for you and your group, or how awesome you are at playing a guardian in PvP.
The point I'm making is, its easy to talk a big game, and I'm done with it, I'm not going to sit here and tell you I'm an awesome player in a game where I can be a guest on any server and play with or against you at the drop of a hat, and record it to boot. You might think I'm a bad player, thats okay, I think you're full of it when you say dungeons are "easy" even with the inflated self confidence of a guardian, because lets face it.. if someone can't stay alive as a guardian, they probably should stop playing altogether.
I have an 80 Mesmer, 43 Ranger, 37 Elementalist, 20 Thief, and the last slot is open for testing PvP builds - so as I said, I'll be happy to sPvP with whatever class you want me to play, or play any number of dungeons.
They should have the background music in the dungeons

haha i put that on and my two year old daughter cant stop dancing now
my money are with this guy.
So, the challenge has been issued, Anyone taking it up? I'd like to see the results to be honest? My experience in this area is somewhat limited so I'd like to see what works and what doesn't.
Mine as well lol. He's the only one with anything to prove XD.
no
, i want to see u cakewalking dungeons!, then later the greatest gw2 duel ever GrayGhost Vs MaskedWeasel. Please make it happen.
I'd be happy to group with you (or anyone for that matter), though I don't really think it's necessary -- it seems to be that overall you and I agree that the dungeons are tough, but maybe they're not as fun for you as they are for me, and I'm happy to leave it at that.
I'm just here offering a different opionion from the OP, because I quite the dungeons and the game in general, and I do have a hope that some of the people who are having trouble with them stick with it. I almost gave up on them, but once I rounded the corner, my experience changed a lot.
Sadly theres simply no point
he's already thrown out his excuse. "Well sure, because your a Guardian".
I think a lot of it may have come off as arrogance, or anger or something, but honestly I'm fine with just grouping for fun and having a good time. I'd be happy to group with you and go through dungeons, as much for fun as it is to get a different perspective. For me, I'll group with anyone at any time whether I think they are bad or good, if they are bad, they get better if they are good, then fantastic!
I enjoy playing the game, don't get me wrong... I like playing with different builds and I like the diversity between classes, and I do like a challenging dungeon every now and then. I feel some parts of certain dungeons are too hard or unbalanced, and I'm mad that my rewards have gotten cut so much... I liked running them when the risk equaled the reward.
lol I really don't have anything to prove, its clear GrayGhost doesn't fancy playing with me, and thats okay, I am confident in my ability to play the game, I'm less confident that its so easy for everyone.. simply because I know my ability, and I've been in some really fantastic fully geared groups who still had trouble on some parts of certain missions, so I'm all for calling out those who are so much better than myself to see how good they really are.
Who knows, if he did play against me in PvP and beat me, or if he was on my team and showed me something I didn't know.... then at least I'd learn something new.
What server are you guys on?
I think that would be contradictory... if I thought Guardians were so overpowered, then I wouldn't have offered to face you in PvP. Its no lie that Guardians are known for their survivability, especially in PvE -- and how is that an excuse for anything? If nothing else it would prove me wrong if you were able to get through a dungeon or a PvP match completely unscathed.
Me playing my mesmer, I have damn good survivability, I stay at range, and all my pets do the damage, I can go invisible, reflect ranged damage, and put out so much condition damage its staggering. It pairs well with a guardian, and guardians are some of the toughest to kill in PvP for a mesmer due to the high heal/defense ratio and the mesmers traditionally low DPS and even lower defensive ability. The only thing worse than running a mesmer would be if you wanted me to run an elementalist in PvP, it would be all DPS on defense.
I'm on Blackgate, but willing to travel :P
Just for you this is what I did. I joined a pug and sat my daughter down who has never done a dungeon in GW2. I coached her while she did the run. The pug had zero deaths, and zero repair bills. Took all of 20 minutes. She did hit my fraps button a few times because shes not use to my setup so it did cut off here and there but not durring any of the fights I think. She's been playing MMO's for years so don't think she is a complete newb.
In any case, it's gonna take hours to finish uploading the videos but when they are ready I will post links here.
So, story mode is cake for me and apparently CM story mode is cake for my daughter who hasn't done a single dungeon. Videos to follow...
I read just now that Anet will patch the dungeon difficulty and rewards in tonight's midnight patch. It will be interesting to see how they handle it. I personally hope they don't tone down the Explore mode difficulty, but I have a lot of confidence in their team -- judging by the rest of their game, they obviously are not idiots.
Reddit thread tracking upcoming changes here:

Yeah
it's sad, but I do agree with the rewards needing to be upped lol. 30 tokens a run is just sad oO.
I don't know, we'll see. I'm not worried YET. As for the tokens... that part I am a bit sad for, if they swing to far in the other direction. MMOs for me are a long term thing -- meaning that I don't mind a lot of runs to get the gear I want, because it will mean that the reward for me is that much better. I'm patient I guess
I'm not impatient but... I actually want a full set of each of the dungeon armors for each of my toons oO. That way I can customize each set for a specific task or setup.
Oh jeez, this is not true to my experience. Aerowyn dont take this the wrong way but some things you post in these forums are just plain false. Please explain what encounters in which dungeons are easier with specific combo fields and Ill try them out and personally appologize to you.

Several rounds of a Blind boss can only be helpful. How about Might? That certainly helps in encounters.

Dont take this the wrong way but blind was not the best example to use- cause one or maybe two thiefs can already lock down a mob with blind.
Shoot my thief can lock down aoe blind mobs for a long time. Easymode-
