Hey Sars,

Do you do any zerg-busting with this build, or do you do mostly small-group / roaming? I’ve never tried a ‘healway’ type build, but I’m intrigued. How do you like it?

Been playing it since around January and I do everything in this build, though the past few weeks I try my best to avoid playing with more than 1 or 2 other people. Before that I ran AH, it would probably outperform this in a zerg setting but you sacrifice group utility for personal survivability.

Pacific time around noon, GoM knocked out Garrison’s lower west gate with golems. (Anet’s new build saved us once, maybe an hour before this) Hardly recovered from that, Hills south gate was also breached by golems. Lucky for us, we pushed them out, but they left some thief and mesmer behind, and those, at least two, in Hills stayed quiet for a very long time – sneaky!

Done some sweep, our main force had to leave for south or Bay. I called out in the map chat that I would stay at Hills patching and sieging things up. Then I found a suspicious red circle popping up. We played hide and seek all around the upper and lower platform at Hills near south gate.

After several failed attempts, some (now) acquaintances came and formed a party with me, and I remembered those new toys, Stealth Disruptor trap, in my inventory. Anyway, we got the mesmer first, and had an ele stayed with her or him, probably her, awaiting her family or friends to sign the DNR form and claim the corpse. Later utilizing the trap, we caught the thief under the bridge near Hills south gate. Story ended with the mesmer gazing the peaceful blue sky finally called by God and ascended.

New siege timer is now 1hr, great improvement for siegers’ quality of life. Although we are somewhat relieved from baby-sitting our sieges, another issue for us is having someone actually use them before kitten happens.

I wonder if golems share the same 1hr despawn timer, which benefit even greatly for zerg golem rush…

Props to NSP [SPCA] warrior(?) with legendary weapon and tons of boon minutes ago in SW of DR BL.

I’m that annoying ranger, or maybe just some kitten kitten seems really kitten ing you off, downed by you several times. Others, including the thief showing up later and the warrior later duelling you, are just people in my party tonight following or helping me. We just came back from GoM BL to clean ours, taking especially red camps there. The thief just saw my status, so he came to help from the other side of the map.

At first I was just trying to be annoying because of yesterday’s event. I, and we, didn’t /laugh or say anything bad about you in party chat. I saluted you after the thief downed you. And later your 2nd round with the thief, I didn’t mean to interrupt your fight, just another NSP mesmer jumped in. However, it seems that you are really mad at me.

I hope you do enjoy the fights with those two party members, the warrior and the thief. We, including themselves, all think that they have a good fight with you before others jumped in. (might be my bad due to what we did earlier to you)

Your fights with them are really good and very fun fights.


BTW, my first pet was a pig because we were joking at GoM BL spawn earlier, its name is Kevin Bacon.

Fun fight with the NoQQ thief last night in NSP borderlands who I managed to fish out of your 40 man zerg DR. Unfortunately, once he realized he stood 0 chance of winning, he decided to run as fast as he could instead of finishing the fight.

I’ll be sure to put the fight in my newest video, because I was actually enjoying that one.

So no one (at least on nsp) can place any siege down besides golems. Being me, i couldn’t pass that up XD.

Logged in, gathered my beloved NSP WvW’ers, retook NSP BL, retook NSP corner of EB
Stopped a DR golem rush on veloka,
Took SM,
Nearly took Lowlands keep from GoM

Credit goes where credit is due, to the GoM defenders at lowlands keep, not the ones that were fodder for us to fill our coffers but to the ones who started mass repairing the inner gate when it was at 5-10%. Sadly we had a golem griefer who shall remain unnamed but everyone on NSP knows him already. Maybe with a few extra we coulda done it but overall very good defence, you deserve to keep that keep.

What a great weekend that was. So much good WvW.

It kicked off early with VP/Evermore running a training session on tight group fighting. Sambob/VP kept the fires pumping by hooking us on an amazing Red Guard video. I tried out some of that with the uplevel xp train guys, and we were wrecking people. At one point we had our uplevel zergball on top of the north camp at GOM or NSP, and they could not get out.

Then Darkestshadows and Ill Loosin gave it the DDLG twist with the lvl 80 crew in EB for a “training session” you see in the video Bluevalle linked. So many loot bags. So many more loot bags left on the ground as we just kept rolling. I held 25 stacks for a long long time. After that EB night, everyone in the guild was ready for more tight fighting tactics, and we have since gone through and dealt with some of the bugs.

The guy who put down the “fighting guys already fighting” comment—-well you guys who get into these protracted ranged battles are just sitting ducks. You are there so long and accumulate so many red tags that you are going to draw attention from groups who are looking for dense clusters to kill. If everyone on the map is in 2 groups going pew pew pew with rangers at each other, the sharks will come feeding….

To the guy belaboring the whole ‘DDLG thief runs back to the zerg’ thing…le sigh…if you want even matches in which you compare your how big your P is to someone else’s P, the place to do that is in structured PvP where gearing is equal. Then you can go thump your chest about how many you single handedly downed. WvW is a strategic PvP game with epic forces, and if you take a nap on the train tracks, you better expect the choo choo xp train to come along and roll over you.

Other mentions
- Our golems getting spotted in tkitten cave with the knot of people and siege pinning us in there for quite a long time before we went down. Too bad. Good job to our foes in tracking us.

-GOM golem rush after golem rush. The ZL commander dumps $20/day in gems for golems? Sheesh. We need to get a Saudi oil baron sugar daddy to come to DR to counter that…Seems like we just finish flipping the home borderland and go off to do guild missions or xp train, when lo and behold you-know-who is back again with piles and piles of golems rushing our undefended homeland.

-OK SPCA, I am onto you. We finally get one of your bruisers down within im-a-gonna-stomp-you range, and they go woo-woo-wooing off to the legendary defenders at the start.

-Not sure who the D/D elementalist was that I was fighting at SE camp DRBL, but nice fight guy. Glad we both ended it after about 10 min.

In Feudal era Japan, Samurais use to walk out onto the battlefield and declare their name, rank and fighting style and take one on one challenges before their armys would fight to inspire them. And of course to take the heads of their opponents to their lords.

I actually tried this with XOXO and it worked. Got a 1v1 with Obs (well, as much as you can 1v1 in the busy crossroads of EB).

That’s exactly what I do. The only problem is that GW2 turns all of that honorable speech and my polite challenge into:

Gates of Madness invader gestures.
Gates of Madness invader gestures.
Gates of Madness invader gestures.

Then my enemies think I’m being lewd and try to rush me with like 10 people.

Tell Purimm thanks for posting that warrior build. I’d been playing around with a similar idea in spvp (sword/shield + longbow, shaman’s amulet), but I’d never thought to try using banners. Mind=blown.

We’re still making tweeks to it, but I love banners. Perma swift + a leap + blast finisher.

Yeah, that build was definitely interesting. Enough so to actually make me sit here and theory-craft about it at work.

I think I’m going to swap out the geomancy sigil on the longbow to a doom sigil. It seems the build plays most comfortably at medium range (900 range is the radius for traited banner buffs, as well as the max range to connect with a savage leap + shield bash combo). By the time I’ve hit the combo to get up close, flurried, then moved back to medium range via shield stance or leap, the opponents tend to be panicked from all the conditions and desperately trying to hit their heals. Dropping aoe poison on them with an arcing shot at that point seems like it would be brutal.

As for banners, any particular reason you guys chose banner of discipline over banner of defense? The aoe fury is nice, but I think the extra vit/tough would be clutch against a zerg. Then again, you guys didn’t seem to have any trouble surviving in that video, so the extra defense might be a bit overkill.

If you wanna start bringing AoE healing/buff banner warrior, I am okay with that.

Did you bring his head to Pierre after the match was over?

No, you should know how my duels go. Either someone falls asleep or a zerg shows up. In this case it turned out that NSP wanted to put down catas there.
