Dear ArenaNet…

This is… i can’t take a correct word for this. SERIOUSLY? This is end-game what You want to be? I have all, 80 lvl’s classes but when i want to do full run on my necro/ranger or 50 lvl fractal on my thief, ppl just KICKING ME from the party. Yeah, I REALLY like it, especially when ppl kicking me without any word.

I understand that I should accept it at play only zerk warrior/ele(and this awesome excalibur with Fiery Rush)/guard. <333 IT, I’M SERIOUS. I shouldn’t spent time on lvl’ing 5 others classes.

THX ppl for read my Q.Q.

You should get this thread moved to the game bugs section. Apparently your game doesn’t have an option to create your own party and invite like-minded people.

People who autokick without so much as asking if you have another class, or about your build and what you could possibly offer the group probably aren’t the sort of people you want to run with. They might have done you a favor.

It’s like this in every MMO. If something, the GW2-community have alot of helpful people who can assist you and would gladly play for fun. Try to find these people and you will enjoy your time.

If you are looking for rushing-runs with hardcore players and you await them to accept whatever class you are, then it won’t happen.

Anyone who puts restrictions based on AP or armor type are looking to be carried, I would avoid those groups.

It just so happens all classes can compete in dungeons/fractals. Most pugs don’t understand WHY they even stack, or what the use of any class beside the ‘elite’ 4 are. (warrior, guardian, ele and thief)

Rangers, Necros, Engineers all have this horrible stigma, but they’re all very viable creating a smooth run. If you don’t care about speed runs, make your own group. If you’re going to play a class with a stigma, play it very well.

There is not much point in bringing more than 1 warrior, and 2 guardians is only useful if you seriously need THAT much reflection. If someone wants heavy-only then they’re looking for crutches.

Have you read much in the dungeon forum? (This thread really belongs there.) I’d say his argument is much more coherent than yours. I don’t think Engineer or Necro is ever optimal for dungeons (and Mesmer is somewhat limited) — but all these classes can work if you have an appropriate build and know how to use it.

A single Ranger is often part of speed clear teams (spotter and frost spirit); if you trait appropriately and use melee rather than ranged (and you can deal with 1h-sword’s quirks) then Ranger is a great class (and fun).

I have 80s of all classes; I mostly play Elementalist and Guard (AP over 16k) because I enjoy their gameplay, but I agree that PUGs imposing hard class or AP restrictions are generally looking for crutches — you’re better off with another PUG or a group you know.

I’ve found might stacking in groups to be difficult without PS because most people can’t kill the target in less than whatever the might blast duration is, and then you end up with 0 might. PS guarantees you’re always at 25 stacks for the whole party, and is especially useful against trash when you’re not going to bother to might stack anyway. Also the second banner problem is bigger than you might think. Most people just don’t notice banners and forget, even if they plan on taking the other banner.

Necros are just plain not recommended, there are many better classes you can use. I would take literally any other class gladly over a necro.

I didn’t make all those claims, but attempting to defend them:

(1) more than 1 warrior indicates you’re looking for people who can make mistakes and not be downed (high armor/health) — rather than max DPS; this is fine for PUGs, but I read this as clearly trying to compensate for skill

(2) “Anyone” is too strong, and perhaps “be carried” is as well — but in general those who put restrictions on who can join their PUG based on class or AP do so because they can’t get through without help and can’t provide much help for others in their party. Those who request DPS builds (and zerker gear) are a bit different, but AP restrictions (and sometimes class restrictions) seem at least partially to compensate for the party’s weaknesses.

(3) I do think most PUGs don’t understand why stacking is useful, and when it’s worth getting out of the stack. I know I sometimes make mistakes with the latter.

(4) A well played Ranger, Necro, or Engineer can definitely contribute to a smooth run. Not the fastest run, but a smooth run. (This is the one I feel most strongly about btw — the others I’ll grant you have a point, I just don’t think that it’s complete crack smoke to make the claims in question.)

the point is that some classes underperform.

and that even he do his own group say everyone welcome he get all the weirdos with normad gear and bearbows.

anet must look into that and try

Im sry for necros everytime i see speedrun necro lfg and i join i see the weirdest signets on them 25% speed ranger and necros 10% dmg reduc guardians and signet full warrior with rifle. for a Ac run….

S/d ele with strength runes can open a fight with like 6 blast finishers, use LH until they run out of conjure charges then restack it again and take out their second LH. With persisting flames you would be giving fury as well and there would be no need to run a low DPS phalanx strength build, you could just have a regular dps warrior spamming FGJ off cooldown and dropping both banners in the fire field. Just because you play with bad groups doesn’t mean more than one warrior is suddenly good, it just makes a group a bit more idiot proof.

Well Rangers are generally bad as they use bows and don’t use frost spirit and spotter (pugs) or even good ones offer little in fractals compared to eles for example, necros are just bad and as for thief I got no idea, thieves are great in fractals. But yeah in general pug’s think guard/war/ele are the only classes which contribute effectively, it’s not true so don’t beat yourself up about it

Well the best way to avoid this, and I guess some people already mentioned it, is to join a guild.

In my guild, we dont care that much about what ppl gonne play. Ok, mostly we run the standard stuff and we flame everyone who wanne play something different, but at least, as I said, we dont care if someone joins with an engi or ranger. Ok, depending on the dungeon. ^^

But necro, yeah, there is absolutely no reason to take a necro in a dungeon.

Because this setup is just the easiest way to play this game.

Majority of players will always migrate to the easiest ways of playing possible. Just look at zerging, stacking, following every guide they ckittene. MMO problem.

But I can agree that it’s way more visible in GW2 than in other MMOs I’ve played.

why would anyone kick a thief .-. rangers I get though

Back in the ye old days, I hated thieves more than necros when I pugged. Pug thieves always ran the follow 3 builds: condition d/d, duo pistol or shortbow camping. It was so bad that I had to research the class because I thought to myself there is no way a class is that terrible, so I researched it, actually found out they were pretty OP, started to play it more and eventually thief became my main. But anyways I am sure most pug thieves today still fall under that catagory.

I’ve found might stacking in groups to be difficult without PS because most people can’t kill the target in less than whatever the might blast duration is, and then you end up with 0 might. PS guarantees you’re always at 25 stacks for the whole party, and is especially useful against trash when you’re not going to bother to might stack anyway. Also the second banner problem is bigger than you might think. Most people just don’t notice banners and forget, even if they plan on taking the other banner.

Necros are just plain not recommended, there are many better classes you ckittene. I would take literally any other class gladly over a necro.

S/d ele with strength runes can open a fight with like 6 blast finishers, use LH until they run out of conjure charges then restack it again and take out their second LH. With persisting flames you would be giving fury as well and there would be no need to run a low DPS phalanx strength build, you could just have a regular dps warrior spamming FGJ off cooldown and dropping both banners in the fire field. Just because you play with bad groups doesn’t mean more than one warrior is suddenly good, it just makes a group a bit more idiot proof.

Idiot proof is fine. My usual groups don’t go for top times or anything, but we try to get through the content as quickly as possible while not making it a chore. If that means less work for an ele in exchange for killing a boss 1-2 seconds slower, I’m completely fine with that.

The truth is that in the current PvE meta, some professions simply bring more value to a group.
Necromancers bring nothing but single target DPS, while their DPS is actually respectable their lack of a cleave on their auto-attack puts them down even in this department.
Rangers bring decent party wide DPS boosts, but their need to rely on a pet that spends most of it’s time dead to dish out decent DPS makes them undesirable as well.
Engineers are a wild card and an underrated profession, their main issue being the fact that everything they do, expect vulnerability stacking, another profession does better.
Don’t ask me why a pick-up group wouldn’t want a mesmer especially for fractals now that a lot of projectiles are not reflectable, I guess this could be attributed to the lack of good players playing the profession in the pick-up scene.

FGS needs to be nerfed. No more skill 4 against the wall. I can’t believe Arenanet dares to troll us with fake fixes for Fiery Greatsword. It makes them look very unprofessional.

Also stacking needs to go. Make NPC’s smarter. Mark T-B34RC3 works as intended, great fight, copy/paste to other bosses.

When Running with LIlith, at least in high level fractals. I have to run my necro…. my other fractal runner is Charr….

Upsetting Madam Liliths fashion sensibilities is not desirable….

(( truth, I have all my AR on trinkets so i run whatever needs running. based on group comp.))

Seriously?

Yes. Seriously. Enjoying it more than 90% of the other bosses. But if you feel like you have a different opinion on this fight feel free to share it instead of mocking me.
