I too really love GW2, and I agree that there is a serious flaw in their game design. I love piloting huge mechs. Like, awesome mechs equipped with LRMs and Lasers, chainguns and autocannons. I want the destructive power of being able to level cities. I want to play how I want, too.

I wish they would have mentioned that such features as mechs wouldn’t be in the game. All they mentioned was that the traditional trinity wouldn’t be in the game. Why have I been so misled into thinking I’d be able to pilot mechs in this game?

I too really love GW2, and I agree that there is a serious flaw in their game design. I love the Warcraft series. Like, Horde and Alliance, constantly battling for dominance over Azeroth and its numerous resources. I want to command powerful armies against my enemies in a RTS perspective, beat every single campaign and go against other players. I want to play how I want, too.

I wish they would have mentioned that such features as RTS mechanics wouldn’t be in the game. All they mentioned was that the traditional trinity wouldn’t be in the game. Why have I been so misled into thinking I’d be able to build cities and command armies in this game?

It was clearly mentioned that the Tank-Healer-DPS Trinity had no place in this game, yet you’re talking about its absence as if it were some sort of oversight.

There’s nothing wrong about wanting to play how you want, but you’ll have to find like-minded individuals to do so.

Yes and no, they said they weren’t going to do the dedicated tank, healer and dps system, but not once did they say this meant you had to play as a zerker or you’d get nothing but abuse for it. I’m not saying bring back the holy trinity, I’m saying people should get to play support if they want to and not get kicked from parties

Well, you see, everyone is free to do as they will, as long as it doesn’t interfere with others’ freedom.
Just as you’re not forced to wear certain gear and run a determinate build, other players have no obligation of accommodating to your playstyle.
You can’t please everyone at all times.

I’d suggest banding with other players that share your tastes and creating your own groups; your party, your rules.
Yes, they do exist and all that is needed to find them is some effort.

Thats not the developers fault how the playerbase changed the meta around themselves.
The game was intended to be played without the traditional trinity and replace it with some kind of new soft trinity, namely the damage, support and control.
Here support is not equal with healing. I hope it’s obvious for you now. But the way the game mechanics works, there is little to no point to not play in full offensive gear.
Gear only changes your personal passive damage mitigation and damage output (both the amount and type (power vs. condi)).
It’s your own fault that you try to adapt the situation with playing a class you don’t even enjoy and probably can’t understand how support works here in the first place.
Healing=/=support.

I played FFXI before I played GW2. There were 2 generally used tanks, Paladins and Ninjas. Paladin was the traditional meat tank. They’d bulk up on defense and healing ability. Ninja was viewed as an “unorthodox” tank at the time because they seemed really squishy, except that they had an ability to create shadows – the equivalent of Aegis. They could upkeep near 100% of the time shadows, so people started stacking on the DPS stats. Suddenly, exp parties were no longer Tank + 2 DPS + 2 support + healer… a Ninja meant you had more like 4 DPS and 2 support.

As people improve in a game, they develop tactics that allow them to rely less on defensive and reactive mechanics and more on offensive and proactive mechanics. In other words, Defensive stats are padding to keep you alive, but it’s offensive stats that get the job done.

It’s people, not ANet, who decide that they don’t want people using defensive stats in their parties. So your best course of action is to surround yourself with like-minded people who like to play with defensive stats.

But you can play how you want

Yesterday I decided to kitten around, I mean pug with my necro with a condi build.

A guy in the party asked what’s a good weapon set/build for necro and I said dagger/warhon full berserkers etc. or traited axe + lifeblast mightstacking and he asked me why I was using scepter/dagger.

I told him its because I want to kitten around and run condi, didn’t get kicked though (there was a bear bow and a dual sword condi warr in the team too, the other 2 were running decent builds I guess)

TL;DR

There’s a time and place for every build. If youre touring in a premade to farm gold then by all means min-max.

If you just like to waste time and kitten around, play how you want but be sure you’re in a suitable group for it.

I suppose in that case I’ll try find a group of people who don’t mind then I just want to have fun in the game. Couldn’t care less about being as efficient as possible. So I’ll see if I can find people who just want to have fun rather than wanting to min/max everything to perfection

My issue with this berserker religion, is the idea that one is “better.” For some, sure, but for others, not. What’s important isn’t finding a single variable to any idea, but instead to identify what the goals of the build is, and how to bets meet that goal. So what would be judged as quality would be how effective a build is at the particular goal.

This means that beserker is not the best, only the best in getting as much damage as humanly possible, as fast as humanly possible. If the berserker build fits you, excellent! but I refuse to believe I am the only one who bases my strategy on the character, and wants to adapt and perfect each new style developed as a result of that character, each with their own goals and end results during a fight. I don’t want to play one build over and over, I want to enjoy the game over and over, each with a new strategy and technique. And I can’t be the only one who doesn’t just pick one style.

There’s plenty of styles that are great.

There’s 66200 D/F, there’s 66200 S/D or S/F + LH, there’s 66002 staff, and there’s a lot of little variations you can make to the individual trait setups depending on the situation.

“This means that beserker is not the best, only the best in getting as much damage as humanly possible, as fast as humanly possible.”

Kind of a contradiction right there, because that’s what the goal is. You want to perform well because that’s what is needed to be successful on this game. Things stop revolving around the idea of only having fun when you’ve repeated something hundreds of times.

For me and many others, our way of enjoying ourselves is to get as good as we possibly can. The content is dull and ordinary when doing it casually because it’s not challenging unless you make it so.

So no, I don’t agree with you. Almost every class benefits the most from berserker over all other options.

I feel that way towards the Meta, but not zerker.

If there were a true support set I’d jump all over it. But we have Giver which is a small boon duration increase not even worth considering. And healing power is purposely kept as being pretty unimpactful. So that leaves me with either personal defensive or personal offensive stats for my gear. In which case, quality play will allow me to go without the defensive options leaving me with the best option being offensive.

That said I think traiting for a bit more support is fine. Hammer guards are awesome, I love absolute resolution, VoJ blind is great. Just lots of support in the way you trait, it may not be the highest damage but you can get some support power from concessions you make in your traiting. Ele you don’t even need to do that, just lay a water field and blast it and you’ve saved your group. Staff Ele has the tools without even really having to trait for things, though traiting gives them more tools. Mesmer I’m in love with untraited wardens, but on top of that Condition removal and stability are great.

I play my characters very much with support in mind, but that doesn’t change that I wear zerk (or some assassin) on them all.

So as far as I see it, Meta is the Fastest, but not the best as I’m a bad and I like things being a little easier so when I make a mistake it’s not a wipe. I just haven’t had the time to perfect my play yet, but I’m working on it, maybe I’ll be able to go full meta without that concern one day, but until then I like taking some of that pressure off with slightly different builds.

Rather than being sarcastic and pointless would someone care to explain to me what’s wrong with wanting to play a support ele rather than a boring kitten zerker warrior?

Play a zerk ele?

My issue with this berserker religion, is the idea that one is “better.” For some, sure, but for others, not. What’s important isn’t finding a single variable to any idea, but instead to identify what the goals of the build is, and how to bets meet that goal. So what would be judged as quality would be how effective a build is at the particular goal.

This means that beserker is not the best, only the best in getting as much damage as humanly possible, as fast as humanly possible. If the berserker build fits you, excellent! but I refuse to believe I am the only one who bases my strategy on the character, and wants to adapt and perfect each new style developed as a result of that character, each with their own goals and end results during a fight. I don’t want to play one build over and over, I want to enjoy the game over and over, each with a new strategy and technique. And I can’t be the only one who doesn’t just pick one style.

I feel that way towards the Meta, but not zerker.

If there were a true support set I’d jump all over it. But we have Giver which is a small boon duration increase not even worth considering. And healing power is purposely kept as being pretty unimpactful. So that leaves me with either personal defensive or personal offensive stats for my gear. In which case, quality play will allow me to go without the defensive options leaving me with the best option being offensive.

That said I think traiting for a bit more support is fine. Hammer guards are awesome, I love absolute resolution, VoJ blind is great. Just lots of support in the way you trait, it may not be the highest damage but you can get some support power from concessions you make in your traiting. Ele you don’t even need to do that, just lay a water field and blast it and you’ve saved your group. Staff Ele has the tools without even really having to trait for things, though traiting gives them more tools.
