Guild Wars 2

So I know it’s only been a 1 day since the patch but people wanna know one thing

Is the pirate ship here to stay or is the pain train gonna make a comeback

I hope we see something more interesting – a gamemode where several different group builds are able to fight each other. Each meta should have proper counterbuild.

Pain train coming back baby

It was a pretty good mix last night for us. We were outnumbered until later during our raid but as soon as numbers were more even we could make bigger pushes than pre-patch. We’re getting there….

Based on the blob attacks in T1, stab definitely got a boost and pirate ship seems to not be an issue.

I don’t think it’s too bad, definitely way too many condis during large scale fights still. I’m really hoping anet keeps moving forward here, they look like they are going in the right direction with the changes lately.

I want the days, as a necro roamer, where I’d turn a corner and go “OMFG it’s that guild with a nasty melee train”! and run like a school girl into a tower.

Theres nothing better then 2 large melee trains having a go at each other But overall damage is still too high which leads to very short fights instead of hours-long large-scale brawls.

I think its simply because of how the meta still is. A lot of zergs are still running necro/reaper heavy for those conditions and well bombs. In addition to that, the rally and res changes they made a few months back makes an even bigger difference now. I think they meta will settle down some in the next few weeks and we will start to really see some old styles come back along with new gear.

Well, until they limit overlap on wells and other AoE skills as well as lowering damage from condi’s, the pirate ship meta is still in vogue.

Pirate ship is sunk. The hammer train rises again.

I can’t wait to get internet back and jump into wvw; If what is floating around regarding hammer train making a decent better comeback then I will be one happy child.

I really miss the frontline hammer train days..

Nope – you can still tap them with DH traps and hammer is done.
