Guild Wars 2

Thanks man!

Is there a way to get an order armor that I have not chosen from transmuting pieces? I have a thief that is in the Order of whispers but really like Vigil armor.

created a ticket in game and still no response. How long does a response generally take?

I’ve submit an in-game support ticket. I guess now we wait

Problem still not resolved. We spent a fair amount of gold on the influence and would really like some feedback.

Just downloaded the new build and it is applying the influence that i buy now ( just bought a small 1 to test it) but it hasn’t applied the ones we already used but did take our money.

A few of my guild members purchased gifts for the guild for influence. I did aswell (2 1000) influence boosts. However the purchases didn’t let apply the influence. Could someone take a look into this?

I have all the areas Completed, and the chanitry of secrets unlocked with the POI discovered. I am not receiving the completion however. A friend told me to submit a bug to get it unlocked which is what he did. IF you could please check it would be appreciated, thankyou.

As a warrior main, I can’t wait for this horrible cheesy build to be destroyed. They should be showing love to our other weapons such as Hammers and Swords.

guise, srsly? OP is a troll.

I don’t even know why I bother reading the thief forums… Wait till the thief is nerfed beyond use and then the same thief player gets another troll character that manages to upset people and the thread moves to that class….

Thiefs are not that bad… Learn to deal with them there is no way a thief should be able to down 5 players… use AOE or learn to dodge. while he attacks one of you the rest should be kicking his face…

He might be able to get away but a thief running is hardly a problem.

Sorry but that doesn’t fly. You are using a cop-out by saying “learn to deal with them”. A 6 man group shouldn’t have to use communication and specific utilities to deal with 1 person regardless of their class. Why should it only apply to thieves?

Having the ability to get away IS a problem because no other class can do the same thing. It means they can take down posts, dolyaks, camps, and never get caught.

I can get away quite easily on my mesmer, warrior, even engineer. Chances are you don’t even have a thief and don’t understand them one bit.

Skill>numbers .Because 20 minutes ago on my warrior I just I stomped 2 players in a group of 4 before running away. If you are bad, you are bad. Stop Complaining. Complaining does nothing but promote laziness. I have no problems killing thieves on my warrior, the few that have gotten me recently were running High Condition builds which I adjusted for and now have very little problem dealing with them. So Saying " We have 6 people, we automatically should win" is very inaccurate. This is a Learn to play issue it would seem.

A thief in stealth isn’t do any damage. Did he manage to kill any of you? Were you all upleveled?

So what I have done is Gone with Rabid Gear (4/6 pieces) Carrion trinkets with Runes of the Undead so I have around 2k Condition damage. What weapons have good synergy with this type of gear? I am loving P/D using Shortbow as alt Weapon

What would be more beneficial to a P/D wvw thief, I am leaning to carrion.

Also What Runes work well with this type of build?

I’ve been experimenting with S+p and S+D with evade builds but I could use a little guidance

Getting tired of the generic Dagger/dagger or dagger/pistol builds

Yeah I haven’t used Lemongrass Poultry soup ever, it is 20 silver a pop.

Spike Damage thieves are hardly an issue anymore. The only type of thief that really gets me is a Condition spamming P/D thief, but the Skill required to play on P/D is very high, it is hard to play effectively.

Greatsword is Highly predictable, the only thing it has going for it is Mobility. Don’t go full berserker in WvW. Use the Zerker Trinkets and Knights armor. Personally I don’t know why people Use Mace offhand. I would much rather have a shield for that one second stun and block.

Without switching much else, you will be more tanky while still dealing respectable damage. As for builds, you should Develop your own on what works for you.

Aiden.6483:

For WvW there is no such thing as too much armor. I’m sitting on ~3.5k armor on my warrior with about 2.3k toughness, for blob diving! Also 28k hp is nice.

can you kill any players 1v1? What weapons are you using. I currently use cav trinkets with Sentinel armor for about ~3550 armor with 23k health but I also have ~80 % crit damage. I’m assuming you are either a condition tank or Shout Healer/banner regen correct me if I am wrong.

They all look so bad. They all look the same. The only decent looking one is the revolver which reminds me of my .45 colt

I can’t say I agree with evasion on Cyclone axe. However, I do believe it should be on par with the thieves stolen version which reflects projectiles. Why take offhand axe when you can take an offhand shield for more utility?

People get upset with this build because it takes very little skill to master and be effective at. A warrior who just reached level 80 could take people on within an hour of playing around with this build pretty easily. That is why it needs a nerf.

I feel like a melee class that can’t manage to stay on target easy enough and always having to wear runes of melandru + dogged march+ lemongrass and dedicate most of my utilities to condition cleanse to just stay up in wvw and tPvP. PvE I beat the hell out of everything with my full zerker gear and gs because they dont dodge.

Play a guardian and tell what you feel.

My first class I got to 80 was guardian and I can stay on my targets quite easy. GS leap, Sword teleport, Judges, Plenty of ways to get in and out. Half the time I am ranged though with a scepter so it doesn’t even matter.

Considering you must actually crit to put vulnerability on and the limit is 25, I wouldn’t be opposed to something such as this. It would offer some great synergy with axe/mace considering we can stack vulnerability via those two weapons.

Axtozob.4597:

It’s called “I’m advertising my youtube channel and I give a Mace+Sh/Hammer build instead of a Sw+X/Hammer build”.

So, I’m saying that Sword and Hammer don’t synergize well for solo roaming cause of the condi/power damage difference between these. But it can be a pain in the kitten in a group thanks to a lot of control.
And if you want to really lock down a target, Leg Specialist is a must, maybe with Opportunist if you’re looking for something useful for both Sword and Hammer.

It allows you to be perma fury with SoR, maybe playing with on-crit sigils and a bit of power for the hammer could do something interesting.

You would be so far from correct in saying sword/x + Hammer don’t syngerize well for solo roaming. Sword is NOT a condition weapon. While yes it can put conditions on it can also hit extremely hard and fast which people aren’t expecting. In my non zerker build in wvw i can easily hit 8-10k with final thrust and 1.5k auto attacks. Leg specialist is a waste, you have so much CC and mobility it would be over kill.

healing power doesn’t scale well with anything in this game

Play a D/P thief and You will learn all it’s strengths and weakness. I still main my warrior while playing my thief 30% of time and let me tell you, Thieves are no problem at all for me anymore ( aside from headshot spammers, Still figuring those ones out :P). But I stand by what I said from the first post.

The reason eles got nerfed and not warrior is because you don’t see any videos of warriors fighting 8-10 people and being able to get a few stomps for, refresh my memory? How long was that video of the two eles doing just that? Eles had too much mobility, Cc, Condition cleanse, amazing healing, support, combo fields, 20 weapon skills per weapon ( 5 per attunement).

Warriors have 2 things going for them right now. Great Mobility, Great PvE damage. Condition removal is still quite laughable unless you trait for it and are using Longbow+ cleansing ire. Berserkers stance is 8 seconds long (10 seconds traited) on a 60 second cool down and most people don’t even trait for it as from my experience as it isn’t worth the two extra seconds. The only way warriors have good condition removal is if they spec for it with – condition duration runes/ food/ dogged march and allocating alot of points into it.

My thief has Nearly the same mobilty as my warrior + stealth + evades+ Condition removal in stealth+ perma stealth + great damage+ constant blinds.

The only downside to my thief is 2300 armor which i Compensate for slightly by running Valkyrie gear to boost my health to 18k.

Warrior mobility needs to stay the same. Freeze, cripple, fear, stun, immobilize, disable, completely shut down a warrior unless they trait and gear for it!

I Would like to know which Weapon sets are the best for leveling and Tagging mobs?

Also Is there a certain build to run?

I have been told mesmer is quite difficult to level and currently am at level 40.

Thank you for the info

Will either of these conflict if i had a Sigil of battle on shield and Sigil of strength on Sword switching from a Hammer?

What is this for? PvE, WvW, SPvP?

From what I understand he said WvW and Spvp.

I swear he edited that in after the fact >.>

That’s my excuse at least.

I didn’t, although I will admit I should of specified from the beginning.

Sw/Shield + Hammer for WvW

traits
x/10/30/x/30

Unsuspecting foe
shield master/clenseing ire/ merciless hammer
signet mastery/mobile strikes/burst mastery

Use Sword leap + Hammer burst to get away

Have a warhorn and apply 100% swiftness

Use runes of Lyssa for condition clense when needed

Valk armor + Cav trinkets

sigil of impact on hammer

healing signet

Dolyak Signet, Berserkers stance, Signet of stamina/ bulls rush/endure pain

Very high hits 5k earth shakers quite often Very mobile, very fun Hard to master but when you get good at it it’s very reliable.

So When will we find out more about the floating wizards tower?
What is the mystery behind it? It’s eluded us since guildwars . What about verata? We may have defeated him 250 years ago but there are still signs that either he/disciples are still working.

For anyone who needs to be caught up to date

Currently working on a build that is very powerful to counter conditions and I have used both sets of runes on Sentinels armor. With Hoelbrak Runes I can stack my Might very high very fast and can put some very nice damage out in Tank gear while in melandru runes I am slightly more durable and -5% condition duration/ stun duration. My question to you is;

Is it better suited for a Hybrid build that utilizes Forceful greatsword+ signet of rage + Sigils of battle + FGJ (sometimes) to use Superior runes of Hoelbrak over Melandru?

I feel I get more utility out of the hoelbrak runes. and Maintain -93% Movement condition duration and -60% condition duration rather then -98% and 65% respectively.

What are your expereiences with these two sets of runes coming from a WvW and sPvP stand point?

Hello! Could you please be more specific? Will this build be used in WvW, sPvP, PvE, High level fractals etc?

Do you want to run full berserker gear and trinkets or do you have a mix of gear?

Which weapon sets do you want to use?

He downed you first. He should get the kill, not the other way around.

But it doesn’t work when the thief drops SR before he drops?

How about when someone interrupts the stomper because they don’t have access to stealth instantly as the thief does and their stability is on a 40-60 sec cool down?

How about when someone can’t stomp a thief because they are being focus fired? Yet a thief can do just that by shadow stepping?

How about when a thief uses shadowstep mid stomp to stomp an ele who mist formed to the side?

How come every other class in the game can’t do what a thief does with stomping/reviving?

This needs fixing. Anyone who does not agree is a player who gets carried by the thief class and get wrecked if they play anything else. Don’t believe me? Dig deep into their previous replies and you’ll find they all play thieves.

Huh..what a coincidence..Who’d’ve thunk it..baddies supporting baddies.

Anet devs messed up big time with the thief class and other game devs will snicker whenever they walk into a room or are mentioned. Wonder if the person who came up with the stealth mechanics will ever be hired again.

Do you even have a thief? I seriously don’t think you have ever even touched the class. If you are getting killed by a thief, you are either upleveled or Bad. The reason I rolled a thief was to learn to counter them as my main on my warrior and you know what? I kill a hell of a lot more thieves now.

If you run a condition build on any WvW charecters Post which type of class it is and type of build if you would be so kind

This information is being used in a video.

You guys will seriously complain about anything. If ANET was giving every single person a free mini pet/100gold/new set of armor/charecter slot/$1000.00 USD, you guys would find SOMETHING to complain about.

Junkpile.7439:

sPvP players come troll in www forum and try to get con dmg nerfed. Time to l2p. It’s not beta weekend anymore.

I am only a wvw player. It is something that needs to be looked at because condition spamming is not balanced. It is almost 100% face rolling

This would be for WvW specific, Nothing to do with sPvP in this build.

ukuni.8745:

I think there is a bit of a l2p issue here from my pointh of view atleast, I main an engineer and can tell you that we arnt as op with conditions as you may think, our 2 hardest condition weapon sets are bombs and nades now bombs are easy to counter just stay away from us, we will make it a living hell for you if you try to do that, but it’s very possible, nades may have the range but can be easily dodged at range, lots engineers will actually use them like bombs to ensue they actually hit, so when I say l2p what I mean is take some time to learn what another class will do and what they have at there disposal and you’ll start having a much easier time, I can’t speak for the other classes but as of right now engineers really do have to work for what they aaccomplish with conditions

On that note I do agree that the ccurrent meta could take some looking at but all In due time aye

Thats like saying " I work on a pork farm, and despite what the surgeon general may tell you, bacon is good for you."

p.s

I’m not good for you

A while back there was a build posted of a player using a Burst guardian type build. If anyone has any idea what post that may be, could you possibly relay that info here. Sorry that my details are so vague. If you can even show me some possible heavy dps/burst builds I would appreciate it.
(trying to edit my own burst build)

Currently there is no counter to raw condition damage

I would consider regen to be the counter to condition damage.

I don’t really see where OP is coming from though, outside of when confusion was overly strong, condition-based builds have always been much weaker than power based ones.

what new change has reversed this?

and regen is countered by poison. Condition based builds are currently much stronger then any power build.

Just because you have great gear doesnt mean you will do well. However. Currently there is no counter to raw condition damage, there is no – Condition damage even though I believe there should. Conditions are very hard to counter as it is very set up and I have had to buy Holebrak runes and Melandru runes just to play a Power build which is not even on par with condition builds. Conditions need to be looked at, if it is mitigation of damage through toughness (to a certain percent cap) or changing how they are applied or granting immunity to certain conditions after they have been clensed for a short time. Something has to happen because nearly ever player I have encountered is running a condition face roll build. It is getting a bit stale.

As a Warrior main I thought I would put in my two-cents about this new counter meta build.

It is over powered. Straight and Simple.

It offers mobility, High damage, Strong Defenses, and Strong condition removal.

While the counter is to carry a reliable stunbreaker and stability, the amount of times you can stun an enemy compared to the actual amount of times you can use stability and stunbreakers are unequal by far.

Does it need to be fixed? I think it needs minor changes to balance it out.

lol this guy plays a thief. Sounds like he got wiped on the floor by a warrior – you have to be bad to lose to the worst pvp class in the game when you play the cheapest one-.

You should see his thread representing warriors in the thief forums and saying that class isn’t cheap, lol.

What an embarrassment to KOS.

Here is his thread, lol:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/thief/Warriors-Perspective-on-Thief/first

Here is another threa:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/warrior/Warrior-stacking-torment

in which he says:

Bacon Please.8407

I just checked it out. The guy is using those new Tormenting Runes. He just kited me down. Oh well. Back to playing thief

Just thought I’d paste it here before he deletes it.

Thanks for your perspective but I think you gotta know your class -either one- before sharing your opinions.

Yeah, im going to make a thread on the thief forums saying:

Hell people as a THIEF MAIN we are OP and we deserve a nerf.

If you would check my history more thoroughly you would clearly see that I main warrior. I don’t delete any of my posts. I got kited down from when the tormenting runes were first implemented and since then adapted. I main warrior with my thief as an off character.

If you mained a warrior..how come you didn’t know which warrior ability gives torment..?

Nice job on infarcting Xll post for informing the warrior community of your back ground.

How did I infarct anyone? If someone got an infraction, they got it because they deserved it

There is no counter for condition spammers. Condition builds are the current meta. I dare say all but guardian are running condition faceroll builds the reason being is that there is no counter for condition damage.
