Nightfall and then well of corruption when NF ends. What are warriors?
I could have done without the condi buff. The skullgrinder spam is real.

Seems defense has gone out the window. Since the patch teamfights seem to be over in seconds. Power necro basically hardcounters itself with it’s own burst. LB ranger hit me for 90% of my Demolisher Necro’s HP on his 4>2 opener, but I still managed to kill him ~10 seconds later. I mean shoot I was in a match with Nos and he went down in the first ~20seconds.
I’m seeing fights where both teams will have 2-3 dead at the same time. This isn’t PvP this is flipping murder.
carryign players with damage output that is what gw2 was ment to be, reson game is know to be a dumbest mmo for pvp.
when when u have strenge people workign on balance patches that dont even know what to do that is what is to expect.
i didnt tryed to pvp after update still in wvw, some classes that i was able to hold now melt me in 2-3 seconds… lol

maybe the 20k maul build is a beserker amulet build with not much surviavibility after initial opener ?
It’s a Valk build I think

I heard they buff Maul, the numbers are still not up to par. This is before the patch.

Everyone always plays instagib builds after balance patches.
Anyone getting hit by maul deserves whatever happens. That’s the single most telegraphed skill in the entire game.

The player who did that maul is named “Harsh Master”. I know her and she’s infamous for her instaganks. She has Siamon(misspelled probably) pet + all damage buffs you can think of then spams smoke field with celestial avatar skill #3, warhorn #5, and the leaps in her sword and greatsword. It is impossible to tell when she is going to attack with 15 seconds of stealth… I have screenshots of her hitting me for 25k-30k.

If u assume she got “all dmg buffs” u probably mean consume plasma [all boons for quite some time ] so no 3 sec. of stealth due feathers or tuft[ the other forage items ] Than she is going to switch for smokescale and manages to double leap + celestial 3 + WH 5 in the same smoke field ? …even than we would have 8-9 seconds of stealth left, when finished with the rota [ which i doubt, anyone will be able to pull of in a real fight ]
I guess “all dmg buffs” refers to dmg modifier in form of SotH, SotW, Remorseless and maybe Steady Focus and Bountiful Hunter, Force Sigil, Scholar Rune and so on. But even with all those modifiers you won’t oneshot anything but the glassiest targets (for 20k+ you need might and vuln too). And after a single burst attemt that you can avoid by walking away from the smoke field where he stealthed, the build has absolutely nothing left.
Edit: The did not buff the dmg of Maul with this patch.

with 15 seconds of stealth
Oh, that I would like to see!

Not only that all she does is run run run and starts complaining if more than one person attacks her. Also if that is the build i can confirm it is a valk build.
Its one of the most annoying builds ive ever fought and shes not really looking for a fight. Runs runs runs runs stealths attacks run run run run stealth attack run run run run stealth attack doesnt care about holding the point at all.

Welcome to the powercreep WvW has suffered for over a year.
Enjoy.
For the Alliance! For Azaroth!
How’s that any different than before the patch?
Damage overshadows all other aspects of combat to the point they are almost invisible,but it’s been this way for sometime now.
lose a pip,win 2 pips,lose a pip,lose a pip…………..-

Before the patch we had actual teamfights. Now it’s just dead bodies everywhere.
Seriously, my necro was killed in a match earlier before the falling-to-downstate animation even completed.

Was this Unranked? Often after a patch people will flood into unranked to try their latest theory, and since unranked makes teams from just about everybody in the pool with no regard for rating, you’ll get a lot of people who are easily overwhelmed . . . or who are just messing around. Heck, I just won some matches as shoutbow. Doesn’t mean it’s back; it just means unranked is a clusterfrag.
For what it’s worth, there were a lot of downs in teamfights, but at the same time, I watched a lot of people stand in damage, eat huge bursts, and basically never disengage. So, again, I’d say it’s either the unranked spectrum or a matter of people not caring if they die because they’re pushing whatever build they cooked up to see where it can go.
If this was Ranked, I’m not sure what to tell you, but it could still be people goofing around. I didn’t notice that I was taking any more damage than before. I could be mistaken, because this patch was 90% whatever-you-call-powercreep-when-it’s-in-overdrive, so all I can say is that I did not observe the same thing at all.

I don’t know what to tell you other than look at Jayce’s screenshot.

I’m sorry, I missed the patch where Anet has added Temple of the Silent Storm as a WvW map.

Powercreep is still alive I see!
Glad I quit lol!
The insane damage is why only specs that can abuse the massive amount of evades/blocks/immunes (Power Hammer Scrapper, Glint/Shiro Herald, Condi Chronomancer, Bunker Druid, any Berserker, D/P and Vault Daredevil, any Dragonhunter) or abuse massive healing (any support Druid, Support Tempest, any Dragonhunter) or prolong a fight till they can get support (any Reaper). If the spec can have a good number of sustain skills and/or healing while also dishing out high damage, it’ll be meta or near meta.
And both high damage and high sustain being possible in one build all came with the June 23rd, 2015 patch, and was enhanced greatly by HoT. High sustain requires high damage to compensate, and high damage requires high sustain to compensate. Lower both and compensation doesn’t need to be as big. The game won’t slow down either because with fewer sustain skills, players will still die quickly if they’re not careful, even with a damage reduction.
Also, a thought occured the other day. You know how elite skills have long CDs (usually)? Ever notice how elite specs seem to contain lower CDs? This could be a solution. Increase elite spec related CDs. Keep elite specs skills stronger than baseline spec ones, but give them long CDs. This should be the trade off of speccing into an elite spec. You get more powerful skills, but you have longer CDs that cannot be spammed. But right now, elite specs are full of low CDs on skills that do everything! Make elite specs like elite skills: powerful but infrequent. This way baseline specs have the advantage of being faster specs, but with weaker skills. Traits will need to be balanced the same way as baseline specs, but the skills and upgrades you get can be made more powerful at the cost of longer CDs.

Next to Glint elite, Shiro Elite, Reaper Shroud 5, Reaper Shroud 4, Chrono Shield 4…could go on. :P Maul is fast as kitten compared just to these, and every single one can be dodged.
Thats interesting. I thought I just got worse at the game. Used to be able to tank spots fairly well and now I seem like I melt far more often.

Single most telegraphed?
Meteor, dragons tooth, shatterstone, churning earth, most necro skills, mace auto on guard, hammer for guards, phantasm utilities on mesmer, mass invis, some phantasms on mesmer, barrage, jade winds and chaotic release to name a few that are vastly more telegraphed.
Don’t get me wrong I believe the 24k mauls are one trick ponies and I’ve personally not had any issue with the skill since the change but let’s not spread misinformation about it being the most telegraphed. It is well telegraphed without quickness but not extraordinarily telegraphed either.
Might be that I main ranger but I absolutely stand by my claim it’s the most telegraphed in the game. It’s a GIANT BEAR head and shoulders above every other animation sloooooooowly attacking you. Even if you’ve never seen any of those attack animations mentioned before, you can see the bear. Many of the skills a couple folks listed you need to have seen before to know what they’re doing.
