Guild Wars 2

So, dear thief players…

Let’s try doing something. Let’s pick a class, doesn’t matter exactly which one (other than the thief), and let’s whine and kitten about it on their forums, PvP forums, and in general forums… Just actively, aggressively, keep saying they’re OP (for w/e reason, eventually we will all align to a couple, they don’t have to be valid or true either), refuse to listen to others on the subject, discredit people because they main/support the class, be stubborn, and just in general act noob like.

Why do this?
For funzies.
To potentially nerf some innocent class because people cried enough about it.
And just because everyone else does it!

:D So yeah, pick a class.

I vote for:
Ele

Oh and this experiment/thing has to last for 1-2 years, even if there are nerfs to the picked class.

Tactics/Tools of the Trade

So here are some ways, things, that might help when we do finally engage in this and start crying/QQ’ing/whining about a picked class:

- Remember, you are always right. Not because you are factually correct, but simply because you believe so – and I told you so.
- You’re also not alone, so even if you don’t feel like you’re right, don’t worry because there’s others (us, and other random people) backing up your idea/QQ’ing. Strength in numbers type of thing…
- Support your comrades! If you see someone QQ’ing about class X, join them and support them! Again, strength in numbers.
- With the three points above, you can be aggressive, and feel bullet proof about your false belief that class X is OP.
- You can always say that you’ve played class X and you know that’s OP because you played it.
- You can pull random youtube montage videos and pitch them as evidence for how class X is OP.
- You can take arbitrary screen shots (make sure there’s some high numbers) while playing and facing class X to again pitch as evidence.
- You can claim you’ve only been playing class X since launch.
- Make sure to use words like “cheese” and “perma-”
- Provide anecdotal evidence of how you where on a picnic and then class X ganked and owned your kitten – or something similar. They don’t need to be true either, just come up with something.
- Make sure to complain about how it’s unfair and not fun facing class X.
- Try making circular arguments.
- Try making up some numbers, equations to show how something is OP. Again they don’t need to be correct…
- Reject the notion that it’s a l2p issue.
- Discredited people that oppose you because they play class X as their main.
- Be stubborn, don’t give up!
- Make sure you don’t seem too smart, you have to come off as a noob that just got bum rash from facing class X.
- Use photoshop and videos 1-2 years old to enhance numbers. Date doesn’t matter, even if class X has been nerfed since then, those 2 year old videos are valid!
- Don’t insult, or do anything that can get you infracted – I don’t want you guys to get infracted. In reality if you just complain, QQ, whine, or propose nerfs they really can’t do anything to you.

Oh and, have fun. This is literally to see if we can start a movement against class X out of thin air.

Rangers.

kitten the lot of them. Longbow ranger is OP. All day they just 222222222 and kill 10 people with one rapid fire, OP. They can stand back and do nothing and press one button to win everything with pew pew, OP. Every time I have fight, always kittening ranger coming with 222222 when I’m low and dance on my body, OP. Always when I’m running around WvW, ranger come from across the map and knock me down and pew pew me, I can’t do anything, OP. Every time I hear pew pew I cry and want to flip table because the noise hurt me, OP. kittening ranger should be called rager class coz they’re OP.

On a serious note, ragers are only good for killing afk’s and interrupting duels in WvW.

Yeah, I was thinking of picking rangers too, just ele i think has been left out…. more than the others.

XDlol rofl I feel you dude a glass thief and a glass ranger are two totally different play styles, one has to risk him/her self to get within melee range with low health pool whereas the other just has to spam away in a safe distance. Meh

I vote Necromancers

Condi spam is OP and there is no counter play, they one million shot you and if you start to win they just use Death Shroud to reset fights.

You know QQ is kind of fun when its not my class on the line.

Meditation guards and engineers because of how perfectly you have to play in order to beat them. Especially mediguards… Engis are just a pain when they place turrets down… Or you didn’t dodge one of their CCs… XD get rekt

Yup! I’d rather go against a power necro

Mesmers are broken. Kitten jump and hide everywhere. Their teleports and stealths are OP. Oh wait…

If 1500 – is the safe distance against your thief, so you are bad, extremely bad player and your opinion must be ignored in the any balance threads.

I’d vote for condi necros, their fear chaining in combination with terror-dmg and the pure amount of condi pressure they have (look at their scepter AA as one example).
And chill

I lol’ed. rant of the day.

So, so far it’s:

1 Ele
1 Rangers
2 Necromancers
1 guards (picking on meditation)
1 engineers
1 Mesmers

:| Let’s try to keep the flames bottled down (to be unleashed later), as hard that is to do in a thread like this. We’re just voting on which class to QQ about, we’re not QQ’ing about them (or counter-QQ’ing) yet.

I actually have more problems against medi guards

Guys, this post is purely for entertainment purposes and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

:( You mean… You won’t troll with me?

I would love to see other classes to be “balanced” like the thief but that wouldn’t be fair now would it?

Nephrite.6954:

You mean every class should have been balanced so they would have had a spot in nearly every decent PvP team over the entire 2.5 years of the game, I’m sure most would love that…

Most won’t unfortunately.

Dem Revenants are gonna be OP. I can already smell it.

I vote Ele as well. Mainly because I don’t have one. Also, I seem to recall doing this a long time ago and it working…

Oh, I don’t doubt that it will work if enough people participate and make it a trend.

Corax.7381:

Can’t really pick that since it’s not out yet.

Mesmers. It’s already fun when they rage at you. Had one go “22222222” in say chat in pvp yesterday.

Another vote for Necromancers.

Its completely unacceptable and broken that we are forced to waste 2 points on shadow arts to stand a chance against them.

No class must be forced to was traits to fight another class!

So, so far it’s:
2 Ele
1 Rangers
3 Necromancers
2 guards (picking on meditation)
1 engineers
2 Mesmers

Necros in the lead…

ele is indeed OP.
it’s proved and accepted by everyone even by ele themselves i assume.

not sure whats the point of this

Wrong, most with a brain will love that fortunately.

I don’t see anyone being unhappy for being able to always be viable and good and in the meta and always be picked by teams. i guess only masochism.

If I were a thief I would complain about staff guardians wave of wrath spam melting me while im in stealth ;-)

Let’s do warriors because of these topics I made up:

• Highest HP and armor tier.
• Most weapon combinations.
• Rivaled in best mobility with thief
• Most access to control effects. Total available is 21. Max amount of CC access a warrior can have at a time is 15 control effects with Hammer, Dual Mace or Mace/shield, Bull’s Charge, Kick, Stomp, Death from Above and Rampage. (Earthshaker, Staggering Blow, Backbreaker, Rifle Butt, Skull Crack, Pommel Bash, Tremor, Shield Bash, Repeating Shot, Whirling Strike, Bull’s Charge, Kick, Stomp, “Fear Me!”, Kick while drowning, Hammer Toss while downed, Death from Above and Rampage. Rampage has Uppercut, Kick, Throw Boulder and Seismic Leap.)
• Most access to stunbreaks. (A warrior can have access to all of their stun breaks at a time by equipping Shrug It Off, Defy Pain, Last Stand, Stomp, Dolyak Signet and Frenzy. Guard comes in second with their 3 utilities and Shielded Mind totaling up to 4 maximum at a time.
• Highest skill coefficient for an attack. (Hundred Blades with 5.5 total)
• Best “Burst Heal”. By that, I mean how much HP is healed in one go, not healing over time. (Healing Surge)
• Best Weapon Swap traits. (Fast Hands and Brawler’s Recovery)
• Most access to passives. (Dual Wielding, Berserker’s Might, Burst Precision, Berserker’s Power, Dual Wield Agility, Blademaster, Adrenal Health, Dogged March, Cleansing Ire, Empower Allies, Empowered, Slashing Power, Attack of Opportunity, Short Temper, Precise Strikes, Critical Burst, Deep Strike, Furious Speed, Furious, Rending Strikes, Last Chance, Thick Skin, Sure Footed, Vigorous Return, Cull The Weak, Defy Pain, Spiked Armor, Leg Specialist from spear auto, Desperate Power, Stronger Bowstrings, Shrug It Off, Phalanx Strength, Thrill of the Kill, Warrior’s Sprint, Destruction of the Empowered, Heightened Focus, 6th Signet access)

Based off of wiki, actually having a class and exaggeration. And make sure you guys claim to have a warrior.

Yes, we must not forget to say that we have the class X and that we’ve played it extensively, and even we as class X can say class X is OP.

I will re-count votes in a bit once there’s more. In a couple days, we will begin our first assault on class X. I’m thinking of just starting off easy, just budding in on a topic and screaming “Class X OP” at the top of my lungs, then you guys can join in… a few weeks later i think we will have enough confidence in our trolling abilities to open up threads about how class X is OP – maybe gather up some random YouTube videos, and take some arbitrary screen shots as evidence.

i pick medi guards
- never got nerfed since launch
- block block block block
- blind blind blind blind
- invul invul invul
- healing healing healing
- all instant

am i doing it right?

Yes, I would say that’s a good warm up.
Eventually try moving on from bullet points to full sentences, though make sure you don’t sound too smart when you put the sentences together.

Actually, I might put together a little “Tactics” section in the OP to provide ways and tools to troll with (like saying “perma-block” for the med-guards, showing youtube videos, screen shots, random anecdotes, …).

Added the tactics section!
To help people with their trolling/QQ’ing.

Nephrite.6954:

Guys, this post is purely for entertainment purposes and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Oh I don’t think you realize that I’m planning to go through with this…
There should be some people already complaining about each class anyways, we will just add a little more wood to the fire… provoke more people to be vocal…
This will be really funny if it works…

Addition to tactics: Use photoshop and videos 1-2 years old to enhance numbers.

Taking that as a vote for (medi) guards…

Ok, let me try this:

Me and my whole guild (2 members) think that medi guard is totally OP. Guard was my third char which I played for 80 hours, so I know what I’m talking about! They maintain their aegis throughout the whole fight, every backstab I land gets reflected, they pull me out of my shadow refuge just to burn me with their greatsword 4 skill, they’re so OP, it’s ridiculous. But since I like guardians I think they should only be slightly nerfed, I think it would be fair to remove the fire conditions from their skills. And make the cooldown of their sword skills longer. Aegis should also only be availlable when they’ve already hit their opponent and their healthpool shouldn’t be that high since they’ve got these insane healing abilities. I mean I fight a guard and they reset every other SECOND! Anet, do something!

Filthy Mesmers and their permastealth and OP self healing.
Filthy Warriors and their OP mobility and OP self healing.

So, so far it’s:
3 Ele
1 Rangers
3 Necromancers
6 guards (picking on meditation)
1 engineers
3 Mesmers
2 Warrior

Guards are winning!

Well… that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have a voice, our name is very well known on two top tier bronze silver liga servers! * earnest nod* People great us with “kitten ”.

Edit: Not because we troll but because we duel all the time.
