Guild Wars 2

its like every few months i hear the “fear not this night” song on youtube and i give gw2 another try – and then the beauty of the song disappears quickly as im getting 2-3 shotted by trash mobs. i just heard the song again and want to give the game another try, but im 28 years old now and have learned a lot about life, like how a lot of things never change and ya just end up going in circles until you die.

2-3 Shotted by Trash mobs? What Kind of Mobs? Is there a Level Difference between you and the Mobs and was there a bigger Attack of the Mobs? And well where did you get 2-3 Shotted?

Are you talking about open world PvE? If so that’s quite an accomplishment considering open world PvE has always been a faceroll (except the HoT/Ls maps).

Are you sure you have the right gear for your character? Also what class do,you use? If you play on EU feel free to PM me and I could help you out

yeah i only pve tbh, doing anything but pve is asking for an anxiety attack and ending up in the hospital or jail lol. idk im downloading the game now and hoping it goes good. I play warrior with the meta zerk build.

3 shotted playing warrior.

SUUUUUUURE:D

wtf are you doing:D?

true i can surive a bit longer as warrior, but when i get 3-5 mobs gang up on me im pretty much just spending my whole time running away. as far as ele or any other class, i pretty much die as soon as they look at me.

1) Bind dodge to a key
2) For a warrior, gs 3 has an evade
Practice dodge bruh. see ya o/

Since lots of other players do not have such problems it’s probably not a problem with the game but with how you play. You need to adapt your playstyle and learn how to better use the skills at your disposal to counter the mob attacks. The key is to not get hit at all by dodging/evading/blocking the powerful mob attacks and take only their smaller blows.

I don’t think the meta zerk build is that meta anymore. At least not in open world PvE when HoT/LS maps are concerned. The reason it was so popular is because you could do massive amounts of damage with little risk. Enemies in the vanilla zones do little damage and don’t move around much. They just stand brainless in your Hundred Blades and get slaughtered.

This is not the case with HoT mobs. They do a lot more damage and move around more. Raptors, Rolling Devils, Arrow Heads and those mobs that teleport for example (forgot the name). A zerk warrior can’t just face tank it all and focus on damage only. You will need to watch out more and time your dodges right.

I have a lot of characters, and while some still use full zerker, every character that I use in the new high level maps, uses a combination between damage and survivability, both in gear and abilities. You might want to do the same if you are having a hard time

I think ur Problem is the Experience.

Get some Adrenaline with ur Ulti Skill and then go into Berserker mode and spamm 100 blades, this deals tons of dmg. everytime when ist ready press f1.

you got also 8 secs of invunerable with ur traits.

always try to dodge the “big” attacks of the Mobs.

If u really cant Play war, then just Switch to Dragonhunter.

It depends who you ask. Some people enjoy the increased difficulty while others do not.

Just to throw my [overpriced] two cents-worth here, HoT kind of fell out of favor with me, and I’m having a much better time with the new Ember Bay content. I was able to make it through LS3E2 with a minimum of outside help.

I think there are a few things that could put you off, some mobs in HoT zones can and will destroy you if you aren’t careful with evasive skills. I think their mistake with HoT was making ONLY zones that have a higher base difficulty rather than having a mix. I really hope that the ‘high damage’ mobs will still exist in Exp2 but that they will have more casual maps mixed with maps such as VB/AB/TD metas.

If Ember Bay is any indication, I think the devs have registered and listened to these concerns. HoT did seem a little…off to me, I guess. And I wasn’t able to really put my finger on why. Some of the speculation on these matters makes sense to me, sounds pretty reasonable. I figured the devs would make it right in time. Ember Bay and Dragon Vigil have not disappointed me so far.

Berzerker is this game’s closest approximation to a glass cannon. If playing glass is beyond your current ability you might want to consider mixing in some survivability.

If you are getting killed in 2-3 shots by “trash mobs”, then you have two choices:

• Adapt your play style so this doesn’t happen. This might involve changing gear, skills/traits, or how you navigate dangerous areas.
• Find a game that better suits your play style.

In the way that you implied by the title, no, this game hasn’t changed in the way you hope or expect.

That said, I think the game is better now that it was in October 2015 and it’s got a lot of things in it now that are far, far better than they were at launch. But that’s me; your mileage obviously varies.
