Guild Wars 2

Today we decided to do a few tournaments with the guild, the experience was so bad I nearly pulled my own hair out.

Our matches consisted of:

4 rangers / 1 necro, all with petting zoo’s
4 mesmers / 1 ranger, all with petting zoo’s and phantasms.
3 warriors / 1 guardian / 1 ranger, all hammer except the ranger, he was … a petting zoo.
4 necro’s / 1 ranger, wait for it … all petting zoo’s.

We ran with 2 guardians (1 bunker, 1 dps), 1 mesmer, 1 warrior.

The point difference at every match was amazing, we stood absolutely no chance because we can’t even get one burst combo to hit the target due to the pet’s blocking every single attack.

Why hasn’t this been nerfed yet? This problem has been here for months now and it made me quit tPvP in the first place, yet months later and this crap (petting zoo’s + hammer chains) is still going on?

Back to WvW for me.

Except for the irony of running to WvW to avoid Hammer Trains, yeah, I think the passive epidemic is going to be the next major thing to complain for months to come and it started with zoos.

Lot’s of great idea’s on how to make each profession interesting and fun. No fore thought on how these professions will now interact with each other over the long run.

Petting zoo’s are instant wipe in dungeons. Instant over kill in small map pvp.

Hammer is super strong in PvP. Super weak in PvE/dungeons
Stealth super helpful in dungeons. Super strong in PvP.

Really interesting professions, but few of them translate nicely into PvP and how they interact in group engagements. Usually it becomes a particle haze of video card rendering confusion.

Not sure if this can ever be toned down or bought into line.

The complaints only really started to compound themselves when Spirit Rangers became tournament viable, along with other passive builds like Warrior with Healing Signet coming into the fray.
