I have a geared ele and necro. The necros brings in more bags due to the ticks from conditions. My ele is good for spiking dmg; those that are in a downed state. If it was a small group vs another. I’d be on my ele all the time because necro is weaker (in comparison to ele) in smaller organized parties in WvW.
The class balance in spvp is horrible.. I’ve tried to stick to it but geesh. I’d rather fight 1v1s or get jumped in a 2/3v1 in WvW versus spvp. I’ve jusst been doing the daily and leaving spvp. Anet failing pvp hard. Need to bring GvG, better modes and more maps. The point control maps are just condi spam heaven. I never understood why the “graveyard” point on the Legacy of Foefire map is the only control point of it’s size. I think all control points should be that size or else you’ll see 4/8 of a team running grenade spam engis or other builds that take no skill and a blindfold to master.
I lol’ed. After Season 1. I thought EotM was going to bring more fights and less seige wars. But I’d be kitten ed. The Jq vs Bg fight is getting so boring. Jq hardly fights open field. Only time I get a decent fight is when capturing bloodlust.
BG is only in it for the fights and not arrowcartsT3keepsEoTmsourgrapeszerglinggvgetc.
This ^^ Don’t really care for the whole capturing keeps and towers at this point. JQ has massive blobs which equates to more bags for us. Many guilds are just in WvW right now for fights and don’t really care for points. BG already proved what we can do in Season 1.
You’re welcome, PvE community, for all the server-wide Power of the Mists buffs we provide that help you get your mats for your legendary.
Signed, your WvW community.
^^ This. The PvE community QQ’s a lot.. You guys get the most updates and buffs, and still have the nerve to complain. The PvE content is already EASY mode. Play some WvW to actually be rewarded, with your legendary.
The armor skin looked great. I think it’s fair to make cultural available to other races via the gem store. Hello folks, it keeps the game running. More then 50% of the gems I have owned came from my hard earned USD via paypal. Gaile, why does anet tend to the needs of the moaners vs those who ask for things to better the game like challenging content and more items in the gemstore? It seems every time new content is release, the only changes are made when the complainers are out in full effect on the forums. You guys should listen to the little voices that’s asking for harder content and such. Those are your long term players. Perfect example, look at those who did the repetitive HM PvE content in GW1. They stayed true to the game up until GW2 was released. The complainers aren’t asking for minor changes which always get the most attention.
I had the same problem for the past 12+ hours. I recently moved and of course got a new IP address. I mentioned to the GM that my original account email was @live (hotmail) and had it changed to my gmail. That was the fix for this ongoing problem. Hotmail/Live server are blocking the “noreply” emails and they aren’t even being received by the end user and I had the contact saved under safe senders.
If ele is too hard for you to learn to play, go roll a warrior or ranger. If you don’t have the patience to learn the curve, don’t bother playing a mesmer either.
This isn’t a problem, people always trying to find something to say is an exploit. Let people craft their back piece @ a cheaper price. Folks mad they used a stack of t6 bloods.
D/D eles so played out.. I ‘ve been using S/F since march and spank D/D eles all the time unless they run away which I don’t bother chasing. The combos are easily predictable. There’s much more outside of just D/D ele, and thats for both pvp and pve..
I just found staff very useful in soloing PvE once u know how to use it.
the traits: area atk with staff is larger is essential.
Im using 30 10 0 10 30
for fire increasing 10%damage and 20%faster recharge speed
for lighting. deal 20% more damage to less than 33%hp
for water. water skill recharge faster
for archa
get archan shield when 25% hp and vigor and dodge atk
^^10 points too many..
Back to OP though, I use S/F for 90% PvE especially for boss fights.
Traits 0 25 0 25 20
Lightning – VI – IX
Water – V – IX
Arc – V – VII (For constant mob fights I use staff & trait V – VIII)
For WvW I run same build with staff and use VIII in arc for staff area.
+105% crit dmg
I don’t use fire traits simply because I’d rather have the extra hp and trait recharge.
Full beserker spec, hardly die with s/f because earth 4 & 5 are like extra cantrips. I use lightning flash, armor of earth, and arcane wave for my utilities.
Stopped playing D/D in march when it just became so boring. In sPvP I use S/D so IDC about /D skills. At least buff meteor shower lol or give more blast finishers. In GW1 the long casting time had it’s benefits (more hits & KD on hit). In GW2 it’s complete garbage. S/F or Staff Ele all day.
I hate Lion’s Arch, it takes too much time to load and it’s overcrowded.
I’d love to have some kind of personal free teleport option to one of my favorite major city or just be able to change the Lion’s Arch portals destinations.
Yes I totally agree. I don’t go to LA unless it’s for the JP or FOTM. I’ve made Rata Sum my main city hub for my crafting/TP/banking purposes. And there are never any trolls on the Rata Sum map chat.
I kinda see the 2v1 concept, but not in game. Its smarter for SOR to play for second because they don’t have the coverage to beat JQ, but they have the numbers to beat BG. BG has now beaten JQ and JQ doesn’t want that to happen again so we are making sure it doesn’t by targetting BG. Just the way things go. But its not like anyone on JQ is like, öh its SOR we will leave them be". We see an invader, BG or SOR, we will do what we can to bring the hurt.
Oh really. Those pics are from last night. When you could see the clear 2v1 and neither could take the keep during the 90 minute long staring contest. Ended up wiping both SoR and JQ.
This match is boring.. T2 was much more fun. JQ server is nothing but numbers and are just a PvP bag farm for Blackgate. All those numbers and a ton of camping. This WvW match got old last week. We don’t mind the SoR+Jq vs BG more loot for us.
Tried having everyone logout and login for 10mins, didnt work. Tried creating a new character, went straight to spirit watch pvp map after creation. Were pretty much trapped in Spirit PVP map.
Ditto. I deleted a character, made a new one and at the final stage of the tut, I was ported back to the tpvp map. Also, switched to all of my characters and they all moved to the tpvp map.
