Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

Recent updates included “exclusive” PVE and PVP improvements for some skills.

E.g. Blurred Frenzy for Mesmers. This skill has been given +100% damage in PVE areas only.

As WvW is often seen by ANet as non PVP when it comes to skill updates, I was wondering if skill updates for PVE is also applicable for WvW. Or is WvW somehow a 3rd category?

What’s WvW?

/15charr

World vs World

WvW is a third category. There were updates that happened in PvE, but not in PvP and WvW for example (i.e. ranger pets hp buff).

Ah good to kow

Pff why don’t they just use 2 categories: PVE and PVP….This would make it a lot easier to balance skills and classes. GW1 had thousands of skills and they were pretty much able to balance that game for both PVP and PVE. GW2 has few skills and, so far, aNet has dine anything, BUT do a decent job when it comes to balancing. Why trying to make it even more difficult by adding a 3rd cat? WvW = PVP no matter how you look at it….

Yeah good luck with that.

PvP in GW2 is holding a 3m wide circle. Thats why thieves and permastealth or teleporting 50km away in 0.32 seconds has never been addressed, because in Anets world that make you loose the battle for the square meter you are standing on, hence its totally ok PvP wise.

WvW is for the most part not PvP.
