Guild Wars 2

My heal and support vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PirAXgj5uig

Warrior at 1:25 who decided why not literally rush into that churning earth or thief around 1:40 with no stunbreak that just ate your full combo and had his face down the entire fight.

Nice vid but you were playing against baddies!

You could pretty much roll your face on the keyboard with any class any spec and beat most of those baddies.

You have zero points in water and no condition removal utilities or heal. You have what appears to be 10 points in arcana without the perma vigor trait. You have no stunbreak. You have to blow all your utilities and half of your skills to get your burst off. CC and condition spam will kill you every single time. If your target survives your initial attack, you’ve lost. You’re running this when the meta is currently very cc, condition and bunker heavy. The people running those builds wouldn’t even have to be good because they would hard counter you. I’m betting your video is only 2 minutes long because you could only win 2 minutes worth of fights.

I wasn’t going to comment, but you guys are very rude.

Here you go last 10 mins before i went to sleep. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTw1wjEdRpU&feature=youtu.be I am really CC’d and conditioned to death, oh my.

Beating a couple of very bad players is not making a build work. Do you understand why that is?

Beating, work.

Good for you; it’s nice that you can make it work to whatever degree satisfies you. However, you’re getting lucky. It is a straight fact that condition builds are pretty widely used. Lots of warriors are using hammer and/or mace right now. It is a fact that your build leaves you nearly or completely defenseless against those things. The vast majority of your “10 minutes” was spent at nearly 100% hp. You were not being attacked by anything (the fact that you’re a tiny asura helps this) let alone any real condi pressure or crowd control. You can’t argue the fact that your build has several instant lose conditions by making videos of ideal conditions, 1v1s against people that barely attack you/keyboard turn and group fights where you are completely ignored. If you showed yourself dealing with any kind of adversity at all, that would be one thing.

I was really just pointing out the obvious about your build and these types of videos that only show wins. Your title and smiley face are all people have to go by. I assumed you were pleased with yourself and thought your video would be impressive or make people “chin up.” I was mostly just attempting to correct your error in judgment. The fact that you got so defensive and your only retort was to invent some stupid motivation for me makes me think I was spot on about the 2 minutes of wins.

Alot of rage in here.

The only “rage” is coming from the OP. Ppl are just pointing out the facts that the build the OP is using vs a competent player in this condi/cc meta, doesn’t work.

It’s true the build has no mobility, sustainability.

If you’re happy with that, that’s good, OP. But you can’t tell eles to chin up. Yes. S/D burst has been around for a long while and it isn’t news.

QQ is still around because eles need help, not chins up.

Okay, just stop. I’m not going to point fingers here but lemme say some things.

People that disagree with you are not rude, mad, or stupid. They are stating an opinion and they have the right.

People also brought up good points in this thread. It’s your choice to either refute or agree with them. Calling them rude or mad is not productive or healthy for discussion.

So, discuss the issues here in a mature fashion or don’t post at all.

Nice and fun build to play there, but under specific and favorable conditions. As en ele myself, I can see several ways to counter it, if i’m ever caught by surprise. Short fights are always better for eles and your build gives you that advantage (as well as your size). But personnally – at least in wvw – I prefer having more sustainability, and the ability to deal with sneak attacks – especially thieves since i’m their number one target.
