Guild Wars 2

I love the fact that if i wanted to use staff/hammer and Devistation the first tier traits are complete and utterly USELESSS – gg anet.

Anet = a bunch of kittens that promote salty posts/whsipers by putting an avenue to brag / point / laugh even more after someone’s lost a match

ROFL – gg anet.

Yawn – another burn guard. So easy to play, no challenge whatsoever. Killing 5+ is easy w/ Burn (condi in general – really).

Only reason to play it is for the Lawls

With all the dodges Thief got from daredevil, I wonder if they still need that severe reliance on stealth that everyone says they have.

what dodges? you do realise that we only have 1 head start dodge and after that we back on the same amount of dodges as you

Fat – that might have been the dumbest thing I’ve read today. Only 1 more dodge than everyone else? Riiiiiight.

1) Endless Staminia – Hard to Catch – Feline Grace.
2) Brawlers’ Tenacity – Endurance Thief
3) Channeled Vigor -

That is all you need to pretty much be able to spam dodge and evades (initiative based skills).

Add some stealth to it via Pistol off hand and GG.

Got kicked from game finally – but lost my pip.

Stuck in match 15 char…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

how about just fixing the game so we’re not stuck in an ended match for 15 min?

Not worth the discussion – See Guardian Spirit Weapons.

3 years of garbage and counting.

Bump – cannot believe this has been let go this long.

2 Ele’s, Engi, Druid & Necro escorting 1 Door Breaker and nothing the other team can do about it.

total fun due to a absolute horrible balance team.

Anet does not know how to balance – they’re like children who rage in either direction… it’s all or nothing….

Instead of increasing the cooldown from 5s to 10s and raising the cost to 25… they GUTTED the combo effect of this skill to where it’s basically useless outside of using it just to auto attack when you get tot he target.

2013 -> HoT.

Games ded, people just to realize it yet…

I mean – even the dev’s don’t post much on their own forum. They go to reddit…

Illconceived Was Na.9781:

The only thing that matters is: are you having fun? If you’re not, then what difference could it possible make if there are 5 million people playing? If you are having fun, why would you care if there are “only” 100,000 playing?

The amount of people are a direct relation to “Fun” in WvW/PvP.

The less peole there are to bloody the axe with, the less fun the game becomes overall, from that perspective.

which is why there is Gem Wars2 go’n on right now.

Yep Jski, you’re absolutely right.

I know nothing about WvW in gw.

Keep being a fanboi. The boat left port 6 months ago.

Please, enlighten me on the fixes to WvW since inception…

Not “Additions” – no one really ever cared nor petitioned for “more kitten”. All we’ve ever wanted was fixes – to which they’ve only ever done one: Culling.

1) Balance of populations / maps
2) Night-capping / population
3) Blobbing vs Tactical Play
4) Havoc Squad and hard rezing vs blobs
5) GvG ~wvw~ scene. (wait what?)

list goes on and on and the sad part is, we’re still here asking for the same stuff….

Oh wait – they did finally fix the commander stuff (sort of)… but it took 2 years for them to take their head out of their sssssss

That’s true – but 2 years of failure and neglect speaks volumes.

They did finally fix that culling though…. 2 years ago…

True Story -

The truth lies in the details. WvW has and always will be an appitizer.

Expecting a full course meal will only lead to disappointment. Bigger things to do before WvW as always:
1) Gem Wars
2) Gem Wars 2
3) PvE
4) eSports – er i mean… I don’t know what I mean, it’s just a joke..

Snip.

I’ve thought through the implications of removing cele from PvP and what would happen to elementalist quite a bit, actually. It’s pretty risky. I think elementalist would need a new 4 stat combo to be viable at roughly the same level (maybe something like 1050pow/1050condi/560vit/560healing).

Yes, because creating a SINGLE AMULET FOR A SINGLE CLASS speaks volumes about the balance team….

Jsut staying.

There’s nothing really more to say – we’ve put it in posts for the last 2 years. 60% of all changes are complete garbage and accompanied with more and more issues.

Less is more people…. less is more.

Now the maps are completely barren. Couple this with no updates (ie – BETA) until the 3rd quarter of the year?

1) The “fixed” or "Balanced’ stability to a pre-hot level, only to add 10x more CC (soft and hard) in HoT.
2) You only need 3 classes to face-roll everyone in a group setting.
3) Roaming is dominated by 2 classes.
4) Blob’s are worse then ever.
5) Match System has been stagnant for 2 years.
6) The new maps are completely empty 85%, w/ the 2 hours of prime time being the exception.

The list goes on and on and on.

The whole 2 people on the WvW Team either need more help or just fire them and forego WvW entirely.

The reason there is so much red on the board is because its called: DAMAGE CONTROL.

Sinking ships are filled with it.

Fun point holder build. Really have to pay attention to your Aegis, much like Bunker Down on Scrapper.

I love threads like this. They can be very creative, constructive, and helpful. I hope more forum members will share their ideas!

Why? We’ve been giving you that content for WvW for years and you’re still 9 months out from pretending it will be anything worthwhile.

You’ve killed the gamemodes that produce creativity. Those players are gone.

Instead, we have HoT spvP joke

What I use.

Same gear as KayCee basically but w/ different runes for.

3 Blocks/Immunities – Stability – 25 Stacks might – 2 reflects – minus 40% condi duration.

3400 Power/Armor w/ 65% Crit and 26.5k HP.

Lacks Swiftness (but whatever) and has low Ferocity (kinda hurts).

You can make up the lack of ferocity if you really wanted it via weapon / sigil / utility primer.

Thanks for making us PVE Anet – really appreciate that game mode /sarcasm

They can’t fix it.

They can’t fix it because they don’t know what to fix. They need the 6 months of crap gameplay in order to have the data to know what the problem is.

That’s how <insert opinion> they are.

Black Desert BETA in NA.

kitten poor testing on HoT ruined this game.

The Devs can balance their game about as good as Governments are at balancing thier budgets.

Just not going to happen.

Allow us to convert them into something useful…. like, say… Mastery Points and Hero Points.

Mitch.4781:

One word for you:

Dodge.

If you still can’t figure it out – Arken has a video you should watch.

I love that they FORCE you to unlock traits in THE MANNER they choose… and not how you choose to level/progress/unlock the skills YOU want in the MANNER you choose…

Seeing as how I AM the one who mother kittening paid for the god kitten content.

Cheers Anet /golfclap

Critical Hits with Pistols and Harpoon Pierce and have a chance to cause cripple on hit – Critical Hits on crippled foes have increased damage.

Fixed.

So, having played for 24h hrs now and even though I’m still super discouraged w/ the implementation of Hero Points and needing 400 in a Game Mode I don’t like (PVE)….

They’ve done some really good improvements to DH. It’s not nearly as “clunky” – it’s alot more fluid and has some “OK” synergies.

The damage is defiantly NOT the issue. lol

Bow targeting is still a bit wonky – feels like a ranger longbow at short range where you’re not always hitting the target – regardless of how much you’re straifing and firing.

Contrast to ranger short bow which rarely has issues “hitting” the target.

won’t ever play it -

requiring me to pve 400 mastery points, so i can use the new specialization…

No thanks. Lame.

At its current dmg, velocity needs to be increased on auto.

/shrug

Sad – Theif Short Bow does more dmg.

youre comparing the 900 range thief weapon to a 1200 range guardian weapon.

thief… dps…
nvm, logic.

We can compare Ranger longbow at 1500 range if that would make your kitten feel better in some matter of fashion?

/rollseyes

We need more stealth… clearly.

I mean, why not just give it to Warriors, Guards, Necro’s and Ele’s… the other classes already have it.

Then no one can kitten about it anymore. This game is going towards the toilet.

Sad – Theif Short Bow does more dmg.

No more hard-rez’n while in combat.

Well – its a good thing they’re usefull in one instance… kinda like Sanctuary… and we all know how much gameplay that sees….

/facepalm

The bow can be fixed and will be good in Zerg vs Zerg…

The Dragonkitten spec… garbage.

Should of given us a Shield Specialization AND the bow.

Last Beta I’m fairly certain the cooldown was longer – 4s.

I feel like Hammer needs better Burst Synergy… IE – combo’n skills. As of right now you’re #2→#3 but they don’t land at the same time except for the off-chance where you get the 3rd cascading hit w/ a #3 on the backside… but even then, you have to lead the target and rarely does it connect.

Faster #3 would solve that problem.

What I find to be the single most effective way to kill a Rev is to let them UA you and then just retreat into the middle of your group while they’re in thier UA Chain….

Barrels of laughter as your group collapses on them when they re-appear 1200 Range away from their own group. lol

Dwarf Stance w/ Hammer or Staff has lightning field → Blast

What nearlight said – and you can use Lyssa Runes over Hoelbrok… or even Pact for more fury uptime.

More or less perma stability in Retribution w/ energy sigils.

Condi cleanse for Burn Guard/Poison and Stun break in Invocation.

This leaves one open trail line: Hearld for D or Devastation for Ferocity/Dmg.

Dwarf Stance 3 condi cleanse on heal.

Yes, condi bombs hurt when not in Mallyx, but to say there is no way to deal w/ a condi bomb isn’t exactly truthful either.

The mobility / evades are in Shiro w/ Sword are huge as well.

Lastly, as someone else said, Lyssa is really good too… couple that w/ a Crusader amulet and 40% crit from Fury w/ an Accuracy sigil will put you at about 60% crit chance.

WvW is just bad.

2+ years and Anet can’t figure the imbalances out? Please.

I mean, seriously…. TWO kitten"N YEARS and you can’t get it right? Really?

Don’t agree at all anymore. Sure, 6 months ago. But Zeal is nice for Raw Dmg.
Firey Warith +7% Dmg
Zealous Blade +5% Dmg
Symbolic Power +10% Dmg
Shattered Aegis = gg.

Better Build IMO – click
