Guild Wars 2

So I thought lets play some WvW after I didnt touch gw2 for almost a years and it feels like everything went downhill since I left.

Their are still horrible lag spikes to the point where bursty toons can kill you bevor they even appear or you have any chance to react. Actually the burst is absurd now, their are (for example) thieves and rangers that 2 hit people left and right. WTF happened to the game? The straw that broke the camels back was a warrior that easily outregenerated 10 of our guys and hit like a truck and no im not exaggerating. On top of it he was able to escape as easily as a thief with his stupid greatsword mobility when the zerg train arrived…

I mean seriously, balance please? When I left people with super high end game gear hit hard but not anywhere near those numbers that seem common right now. :/
It feels like WoW battleground all over again with legendarys ruining PvP for everyone.

I wish I could 2 hit people with my full dps ranger, that would be awesome lol.
Legendaries are just weapon skins, they aren’t any stronger or weaker than ascended weapons.
And about the warriors, well, warriors have always been the AFK class in any online game/MMO I’ve played. It wasn’t anything new to see almost unkillable warriors dealing 5K damage on Guild wars 2.
Class balance is always something hard to do. I say wait another week or two and hopefully there will be more profession changes.

If a thief can 1-2 shot someone, that mean that this someone was glass too and deserve to be killed easily…

My ele takes 5-6k backstabs. That means 3 CnD-BStab combo to kill me if I’m standing still.

But warriors are broken OP but if 10 people couldn’t take him down, that’s a l2p issue

Hey!

Those kinds of thieves do poorly against a staff ele – control, damage, control, damage, control, damage, wait until body expires in stealth to collect bag.

I like facing them on my guardian so i can just keep walking while popping retaliation and watching they kill themselves as i wave my lootstick around.

Thieves are dying in 1v1s with staff Eles? LOL

Yeah that’s probably the power creep that you’ve noticed op. We got ascended, guard stacks, buttlust buff, food, sigils, etc.

All that on top of an inherently hard hitting and evasive class makes WvW rediculous sometimes.

Anet doesn’t balance for WvW and it shows.

I don’t suggest bringing a roaming staff ele to T2 or higher. They are fantastic in zergs but the decent thieves in these tiers tear apart staff eles.

You’d be surprised… I’ve fought a few to stalemate and once killed two thieves at once trying to kill me outside our keep (they got too greedy and got CC’d by guards while I AoE’d them to death). There’s a lot of scrub thieves lol. Myself included

A decent thief versus a good staff ele… should end in a draw where the end is decided by a fluke of who’s faster or who doesn’t dodge in time.

But yeah, where would you be roaming solo as a staff ele but in tiers lower than T2?

I can take a camp faster than a mofo, though.
