Guild Wars 2

i wud like to thank N.M.C.C. for makin this tournament possible

Horrible to see the ridiculous gymnastics Caed has to do to get even meagre damage on them and how easy it is for them to unload huge damage on him.

i think a-net over nerfed the thief

the ranger over committed, and the engineer didn’t even used the elite !

He pretty much played it as the stereotype is portrayed, 3333333 dodgedodgedodge 33333333.
He wasn’t really mixing it up and properly animation canceling and reacting to his opponent as he should have been; 33dodge331dodge3dodge31dodge33dodge331dodge331 etc.
He is much better at D/P and I think his favouritism for the kit shows (he doesn’t really like the S/D playstyle).

i also tried that way to steamhawke but didn’t work well when you’re s/d. i tried D/P and hav a better chance of winning

This. The ranger never pops his elite and could have easily won that match if he didn’t get bored in round 2.

Caed had to work so much harder to get damage compared to either of those players.

should be auto lose if you leave the mid area. that was just 10min of pillar humping.

I dont quite understand people who wants to duel and run around the entire area and completely out of the bounds of a duel area only to heal up etc…the entire map isnt the dueling area , this 720 radius is all thats needed..now lets dance shall we?

Before the tournament we sent all the fighters a copy of the rules about out of bounds. Caed decided to use the same build, where as lady steamhawke changed her build during almost every match.

He edged out our Deku God by just a bit ;-;

Grats to everyone who played though, it was a worthy fight. =)

ya ladyhawke is smart. he plays different build as always in every match! so he’s hard to counter

is there a rule that the thief HAD to go into his turrets? what i do is wait til they end….make him drop supply crate. i also dont play zerk s/d as its too fragile. i personally dont lose to engineers but then again i dont hang around supply elite :P

so basically run engi ftw? supply elite in those rules are about 300% overpowered. just drop it in the middle and pull with engineer/immob :P cmon theres no chance. personhally if i see an engi drop supply… i would never go near it.

Be fair man , we have to facetank you guy’s TG or attack blindly inside you guy’s spammed SR lol..be a sport and stay within proximity of the drop -.-

I didn’t watch him in this tourney but I have fought him in solo q. I told him I was disappointed he went the s/d troll build and he basically got all super defensive and acted like I was ruining his day. I thought he was terrible as s/d compared to him as d/p. we beat his team fairly easily and I don’t think he actually killed anyone. His excuse for playing s/ d was that he thought it helped out his team more in team fights. The guy can play what he wants, but when your opponent tells you that your d/p is stronger than your s/d, maybe not get all crazy and learn something from it?

I think he even made mention of our conversation in the revealed episode. I laughed.

Jumper is awesome at s/d. Caed not so much. I’ve fought against both.

You have a right to express your opinion about another player, and even tell them where their strengths and weaknesses are from your perspective. But who are you to criticize someone, even rebuke someone on what they choose to play like. In fact maybe he wants to improve his skills with S/D, so what if he is better at D/P. People have been saying that D/P has a higher skill cap/requires more skill to master, but it also has a very low entry level skill requirement which people often overlook. Also its irrelevant what he mentioned in the Podcast. I also believe that Jumper has had far more experience with S/D than Caed, so it is no surprise that Jumper would be, in fact, better than Caed at the playstyle.
I’d also love to know what the S/D troll build is, and what build you are comparing it to. Since apparently your disposition is to some other build.

P/D is not a troll build and S/D is the troll build? Is it opposite day today?

any build a thief uses is going to feel like a troll build bc just over half of our skills are almost kitten useless so it kinda forces us to use the same patterns. then again all classes have a set rotation/pattern.

I meant to say D/P but yea. To me perma stealth is the ultimate troll build….

Why that thief didn’t use SB to kill those spirits and destroy those turrets?

Cause he would of got spiked down in the process , esp with those turrets 600-1200 range..the #2 on SB may travel up to 1200 but like nades they have a flight time that could cost him his life quite easily.

troll is more of a build you cant kill and cant kill you hence “trolling” d/p is hard to kill but can also kill not just be annoying. but i do get whatu mean in a way. if ur not trying to kill yeah it can be a troll build

He chose to use basilisk venom instead of dagger storm, which would have allowed him to reflect all projectiles, killing those turrets.
