Well, technically you can blame anet for 1-8, it is their game design after all.

1) Buy only Berserker gear.
For Dungeon content, yes. And Soldiers for world events, tanky gear for WvW. Condi for PvP. Surprise, surprise! Different gear have their different uses and niches in different parts of the game!

2) Archers suck.
You mean Rangers, or Rangers using a longbow? Because a Ranger wielding a 1h sword and Spotter+Frost Spirit is perhaps one of the most pleasing setups for a group in the game.

3) Engineers suck.
Stealth, Might Stacking, great blanket heals, team condi removal, er…. What sucks about that?

4) Necros suck.
Yes and No…. They have some of the highest consistent DPS in the game using MH daggers. Watch a video of DnT’s Brazil running Necromancer, and you will see he is capable of doing 4k(x2)+8k+11k damage with his dagger autoattack. That is INSANE, even by berserker standards! The main problem is, Necromancer lacks cleave and consistent AoE, making them less than ideal for defeating trash mobs. Furthermore, Necromancers lack support options not outperformed by other classes. Necromancer is… flawed. ANET isn’t sure what they want them to do in PvE.

5) Staff Guardians suck.
Staff is awesome! Crowd Control wall, Buffs, AoE symbol damage, and great ranged damage. Problem is, people should not use ranged weapons on melee bosses, and Wand is more useful in stationary ranged situations.

6) Stack, pull, stack, pull, stack, boss, next.
Strategy, yes?

7) Eles must conjure and must stack might.
Eles must be able to support team members in a team setting? God forbid…

8) There are 3 ways to stay in a group but 840495847204857392948.48 ways to get kicked from one.
Not reading the LFG post is the most frequent reason.

9) Lilith knows fashion.
Who the heck is lilith?

10) For every 1 sensible poster, there are at least 5 or more to counter-act it.
Sup?

11) Gotta blame ANet.
I blame Ellen Kiel.

12) Pugs are always completely and utterly terrible but you’re the only good one in your group.
I’m one of the few who has positive experience with PUGs, believe it or not.

13) Your opinion is the only one that should matter. If anyone tells you otherwise, ignore their “evidence”, attempt to talk circles around them, convince them that they’re wrong and insist that your view is the only valid option. Ever. Period. Kapeesh?

I’ll have to test this theory.

Funny story though. Yesterday I was minding my own business when Lucas whispered me asking if if wanted guild missions from [DD] I said sure, and then Xallever whispered me asking me again, and then Ariete. I felt quite popular. <3

OK, ok, not to pick on Kain too much, but this cracks me up.

Every. Time. someone jumps in to defend necros they always end up pointing out how they do, in fact, suck by the end of their statement.

5) Staff Guardians suck.
Staff is awesome! Crowd Control wall, Buffs, AoE symbol damage, and great ranged damage. Problem is, people should not use ranged weapons on melee bosses, and Wand is more useful in stationary ranged situations.

Buffs like … might? Even PUGs have better might stacking than an Empower Guardian. Line of Warding could also be called “Line of extending the duration of the fight”. We’re going to stack and FGS/cleave everything down, what good is it to keep the mobs away from us? “AoE symbol damage” … as opposed to any other AoE damage the guardian can deal? O_o
Great ranged damage? I’d have to request actual numbers here, because afaik Scepter > Staff for ranged.
