Guild Wars 2

For those of you that don’t know there are elite dungeon farming groups that run path 1 CoF all day and fight it slightly faster if they just run with 4 warriors. There’s a lot of hate and classism people are edgy and mean. I’ve never seen such poor teamwork, I was in a group for 45 minutes (the 2nd person invited), to get kicked without warning as soon as they needed an open door.

It’s a shame it has came to this…

Nerf Warrios, Buff Hunters

And quit ruining stealth, 95% of mobs in dungeons see through stealth now, I’m having trouble surviving on my thief :/

Agree it is disgusting but look at lfggw2 there are a list a mile long with only certain builds its a joke, shows how badly warrior needs to be put back in its place..

Well, is the problem that warriors are too good at killing or that mobs are to bad at staying alive?

The problem is the ease of the dungeon they are farming which allows the groups to run full zerker groups. They have discovered that warrior/Mesmer group is most efficient for farming THAT specific path. This isn’t for all dungeons. For the most part, this isn’t a class issue, it’s a dungeon issue.

Also before making threads check if there is already one up. There are like 4 in the dungeon forum.

It’s literally this one dungeon because of the layout/enemies. Every other dungeon needs a variety of classes in order to be run properly.

The problem is not with warriors, it`s with people playing the other classes badly. Warrior is a lot harder to be bad with.

Necros and Rangers can be good but I`m not gonna take one in my party if I can get a warrior, just a lot less risky. Teach people how to play if u want more diversity.

The issue is still classes are extremely unbalanced, and that other than CoF no one wants to do any other dungeons for multiple reasons..

The token gear in other dungeons are pretty hideous
The difficulty level for 60 tokens is not worth it
The lack of loot and money for said risk isn’t worth it

I don’t see blocking way points after the 28th will help at all, These things need a total overhaul at best, most will just stop doing dungeons at all and most likely move on..

They are resource farmers. It won’t be fun to play with them anyway.

I play every day and farm CoF once a day. I have yet to actually see such a thing in practice.

Maybe it’s more common in the states but if there are elitist dungeon runners they stick to themselves on my server.

You just lost all credibility there, mate. Not only are Warriors undeserving of nerfs at this present time, but Hunters don’t even exist as a class in GW2.

I imagine the dungeon fixes will make it a lot harder to just plow through cof 1/2 with 4 warriors

I wasn’t aware CoF path 1 = all of PvE

What I want to know is this.

Why do you care SO MUCH about what others do? Why do you feel like this needs to affect you? Stop crying because of what others do and worry about yourself.

Of all the postings on gw2lfg.com only half of them are for speed run farming groups (this is of just the LFM) the rest you should have no problem joining. In fact if I were to start a warrior/mes group and then try to start a group with anyone welcome it would be much faster for me to start a group where everyone is welcome. I’d have a group formed in less than 2 minutes. So there is NO EXCUSE for you to sit around and kitten and moan about this. There is NO EXCUSE for you to not be able to get a group other than that you are too lazy to do it, and after seeing ONE POSTING for ONE GROUP you go “oh well, guess I can’t do it.”

In fact as I’m typing this I’m going to attempt to join a group on my ele.

Holy crap, do you know how long it took?

LESS THAN ONE MINUTE

I literally went to gw2lfg.com, sorted it to CoF explore, refreshed the page and the very first posting was “lf3m for path 1”

I sent a join request and was in the party and we had 5 people ready to go.

LESS THAN ONE KITTEN MINUTE

There is no excuse for you to whine and complain about this, at all.

Stop worrying about others, focus on yourself.

Warriors are the best PvE dps by a kittening mile. If they’re not deserving of a nerf every other class needs a major buff to pve dps.

Undeserving??? Warriors are by far one of the most OP classes in PvE if not THE most. It’s DPS along with it’s great survivability just outclasses everyone… Even guardians.

As someone who first leveled a thief, then a mesmer, then a warrior, I was baffled at how powerful a warrior is, especially compared to the thief. I was like “is this a joke? is this serious? I’m not even breaking a sweat, and I’m dealing tons more damage than on any of my other characters, and have no problem surviving.” It’s just reaaalllly out of balance as of right now.

Ok while i strongly disagree with removing players from a grp because of there class, does anyone else find the above statement combined with the players acct. name as just slightly ironic ??

I literally LoLed and startled my family from that.

It seems that you guys did not play GW1! Good for you, because dungeons there became nothing but:

1- Classism. Some classes were so unwelcomed that you would never see them even in the town of the dungeon. Ever try to look for a group for DOA on a ranger?

2- Pigeon-holing: Once a class magically makes it’s way into the dungeon groups acceptance, it is most likely because it has the ONE very efficient build to use. Unless a player would ping that very particular build, he would be kicked in a second. (Ever see a shout “lf assassin, not shadow form”?)

I do not expect this to change at all, while Anet did try their best to give all classes a chance at glory, it made them forced in a certain build. This is why i left GW1, I was bored of using the same build i did not particularly enjoy on a class that was designed for something entirely different (Elementalist that is a… bonder. Ok…)

Ehh, classism wasn’t as bad in GW1 since it was so much easier to gear a character. Full gear and skill unlocks cost you like 30k, which is easily obtainable in less than a week for those even short on time.

Yeah it does suck running into these groups, especially as an engineer, I get this crap a lot and I’ve done dungeons less than 20 times, it didn’t matter that I was the only one surviving while everyone else was made of glass. Didn’t matter that I was ressing others from downed because they probably would have been better off with 1 more glass cannon, even if I am boosting everyone elses dmg through permanent 25stacks of vulnerability while doing decent dmg myself, being the only one capable of stopping a wipe and so on.
So really just avoid Pugs(Pick up greatswords) with CoF and AC, when you can do it with a guild. We already know Warriors outclass other professions in damage and survivability and severely lack other aspects, requiring them to be babied by others to succeed.
