Guild Wars 2

DH everywhere! (this is not a nerf QQ thread) but it seems DH will now be the go to class for newbs and nubs and we will see a abnormal amount of QQ thread about this class. also lets not forget the ever presence of Chrono/mesmer since season 1. with all the nerf to other class u will see a huge chunk of players playing mesmer. also the usual people claiming MMR hell will be every present in the forums

Less people because a chunk of players got their legandary backpiece.

with all the nerf to other class u will see a huge chunk of players playing mesmer_ from my experience , war is still far easier and better to play than mes .and mes got huge nerfs in season 3 mid season while other classes being almot untouched . the short memory of gw2 pvp forum lol

DH will see more play ,the semi bunker build with symbol heal + medi heal trait is pretty good for pugs vs pugs . but for high lvl pvp , it can be countered by well timed cc chain (you have to bait out one passive stunbreak and at least one stunbreak skills )
for longbow DH tho , its slow easy to kill after burn out medi skills .DH bunker seems better bunker alone to distract from other point or be the rez bunker like chronbunker in season 1.for team fight ,druid is better option with more damage more heal better rez ability and far better mobility in most maps (guard has better mobilty in Kyhlo).

so you will see war / engi /druid dominating high lvl pvp while people got stomped by guard and mes in low lvl.

you will see less people becouse … people is on holiday

Judging from the wts qualifiers, engi is the new rezmer.

yes people in pvp forums seems to have short memory, i mean chrono/mesmer been viable since season 1 for both low lvl pvp and high lvl pvp (esport) and warrior only started what season 3? this is also not i discussion on how easy other class is to play compare to others. lastly majority of players in league are casual meaning low lvl, unless u consider being in legendary division high lvl gameplay which is LOL then we both right that DH/mesmer will be ever present in most games in low lvl pvp which is the league itself.

Been seeing lots of guardians, with Ele out of the picture people are going back to that.

Also.. I see the same if you have a few bad matches the rest of your team is going to suck till you get bored of losing.

It’s kind of an unfair double wammy.
Guards gets an awesome QoL update.
Lots of Eles jump ship because they don’t like their class.

Same thing happened post HoT when Thieves/War were bad but Guardians looked really cool. It’s just a class popularity contest and Guardians are easy to pick up.

Players complain about Traps when it wasn’t part of Guardian’s patch update lol. I doubt we’ll get any type of nerf bat. We’re in a good spot finally.

this is a PAPER SCISSORS STONE game.When eng and ele leave and guard eat thief, nec and mes easily then you will see.The situation like S2 nec.

LOL at this question.

It’s going to be the SAME thing as always. Nothing has changed!

Elite specs or bust, spam condi, spam passives, spam invulns/blocks. Spam, spam, spam, get your wings, leave. Does it even MATTER who’s ‘meta’ at this point?

I’m sure we will have less people. The reward is still kitten. Nothing different from s3.

Yep OP is pretty accurate. . And appearantly matchmaking is somehow an bieng that developed AI sometime ago during season 2 to make sure person XYZ has a losing streak and will keep having these for almost the entire season. Oddily enough the matchmaker loses interest in said person in the last 2 weeks and boom the person shoots up to ruby.

Mesmer is by no means OP atm. The only reason it gets flack is because low level players cannot see that the real Mesmer can move back and forth sideways and the other ones just stand still then rush straight at you. I realize that that is just a SUPER hard thing to grasp……
