Guild Wars 2

i Enjoyed it more then conquest. Sitting on a point with bunkers, cc and condies flying like old dogs in a rain… In SH i have an open space feeling, i can roam like in wvw but the ppl cannot run away :-) (ok u have gates and so but its less then the tower huggers in wvw)
In SH the meta build does not work as well as in conquest so yes, finally no boring fights. More difference in builds
and ofc, when your teammates have no clue what to do, it sucks… but imo when u play ranked u should play with teammates of your level… you should…
anyways, like mentioned before, Smite is way more fun like said before.
greetings

Ithilwen.1529:

I have fulfilled all but one requirement for the wings. At only 377 games this season, I’ve taken it relatively easy it is true.

My current 22.3% Win rate is up from a low approaching 18%. That took a great deal of effort.

I’ve put in near employement hours in bursts into GW2 PvP during 3 seasons. In the course of it I’ve learned to have some basic ability in two new professions.

Still, the chances are rather slim to non existent that I can pass 4 divisions in the next 1 1/2 seasons with the matchmaking consistently putting me on the side scheduled to lose.

I’m hardly a casual player. It’s time to acknowledge that the wings really weren’t for “everyone” and that the matchmaking needs a conceptual change.

can u plz make a video on how u play?

nerf orrrrr….. learn to play lol
counter condi dmg with…. condi dmg. Nothing more fun to see a condi player melt by condi dmg hehe, especially condi mesmers :-)
every class has enough counter play against condies, try to find it in stead of online kittening
+ avoid the condi bomb like u normally do against the power bomb… same principle

who can help me interpreter it well?
is it: if i give 1 stack of X sec for every boon , will i give then 1 stack for X+2 sec for every boon?
or is it: only when using a shield skill (4 and 5) the duration i allready have (for ex: 1 stack of might of 11 sec) will increase so only that stack of might will increase to 13. so when i have 5 stacks of might: 4 stacks will remain 11 sec and 1 stack will get 13 sec?

so its quite useless in gvg no?

forgot to mention:
ANET u should find a way to fix match-ups with 1 DC from the beginning…
got 3 dc’s of party members in 7 games…. wow i so enjoy gw2 the last months

plz bring back ranked spvp
unranked is full of tards, its not fun anymore to play with noobs as an experienced player

another option is to play wvw but…. oh no, its empty!

oh 3th thing: plz bring back mid air RTL (ele) back…

its extra dmg + bit might = Always good i think
was just wondering if the burning would be viable with condi build

hey
wiki says about fire shield:

Fire Shield (5s): Enveloped in a fiery shield that burns foes, grants might each time you are struck (1-second cooldown per attacker). Increased outgoing damage; stacks intensity. Might (10s): +30 Power, +30 Condition Damage Deals damage every second; stacks intensity. Burning (1s): 131 Damage

==> when u have 1000 condi dmg, how much burning do u do?

greetings

Zodi.8932:

Whilst matchmaking is a different issue, In terms of the league itself the only people who can complain about it are those who have gotten too used to casual and easy to achieve things

nicely said!

Chris.4527:

You will see this in every competitive game. In game, and outside it. People hate losing, definitely when they lose something they just gained, that is human nature.

Give it a few more days you will see “Sorry, I dont play with ambers”.

correct
just dont respond to such players they not worth it

Hax.8701:

Druid: Astral Force is no longer gained when healing a target that is already at full health

Please this is so ridiculous and unneeded.

sounds logic no? how can u heal a target who cannot be healed because there is nothing to heal so nothing to gain?

….

Yeah, sounds logic, but now look what we have:

- Druid is a healler class, if he’s using full healler gear he should be able to use his Class at max. efficiency. He should be able to enter CA more often than dps oriented builds in order to play his role.

but…

- Druid in full cleric gear now generates AF much more slower than Zerker Druid.

So…where is logic now?

Druid’s mechanic is poorly designed, it’s broken now and should be reworked.

hm oke, but i think its still playeble
in spvp i play condi regen ranger (no druid) with lovely regen for allies but i think when u play condi regen druid u do the same dps but now with an extra healing in situations when party members need it. Should work imo

u cant protect urself with staff fire 5, icebow3, dagger earth 5 neither
its just a timing issue: choose the right moment to overload
or trait it ;-)
i like it =D

1100 without healing power? in closed raids its nice with eye of the storm or traited (gale song)
didnt tried it yet but in theorycrafting sounds nice
condi stats, well ele does buring/bleeding right? so isnt that bad
especially with cele stats

change it to more boon duration would be a bit greedy no? in synergy with rev – food – trait

the suggestions of Wolfric or theswede are nice too ^^

Hi
When i group up, i somethimes have periods were i cant type in /p and /g and i dont see what others in /p and /g says. During that period i even cant leave party. After +/- 1 min i see all my party members are logged in back, i joined te party again and then the chat works again.
What is wrong + can it be fixed?

ps: during that time i can normally play, its just the chat.

thanks

why do i have to login everytime i lose connection for like 0.00000001 sec?
in every other game window is just frozen the time u dont have connection, here u have to full login and run back to the spot (wvw) where u went LD….

so annoying -_-

ok thanks kodama!
i understand it :-)

Hi all
Wondering about some engi thingies:
1: elixir C convert condies to random boons: duration 6 seconds: will it during 6 seconds convert condies?

2: grandmaster in tools adrenal implant, does it stack with vigor? so will u regenerate endurance in speed tempo if u trait it and have vigor?

ty

oh ok, ty
will it be fixed? cuz its an important issue for the ranger

hi all
i dont understand the heal
it says: it heals u, ur pet and alies with 5K + gives regen

i am insta healed for 5K but when exactly are my pet and alies healed? when standing into the waterfield when casting, insta when they are out the waterfield or when they pass the waterfield after (for example) 6sec are they also healed for 5k or?
or is it bugged?

greetings, Deny

wow guys come on, adapt ur build then when u play against such players
how many condi clearers has a full condi PU mesmer? little
how many vitality has it? little
is the burst every time he bursts different? no… evade, again evade, do ur burst…
with my condi regen ranger i win in 1 of 2 fights against a PU mesmer
with my necro i let them stack and then i just sent it back
thief… don’t even want to tell more
and u will prolly find 100 more ways to counter it when u take effort to learn

but i do understand: complaining is easier then adapting ur build, learn how to counter it and then have fun…

keep complaining guys, thats why anet dont listen to u….

EDIT: no, i dont play pu mesmer or pu condi mesmer ;-)

SchmendrickTheMagician.8247:

Overall I’m rather saddened that 2 weeks after almost all builds that seem to come out viable are water/arcane/x celestial again

absolutely NOT right
try to make another build then META and try to master it, u will see its still viable…

finally i can DROP arcana trait! TY anet whahah
running mixed valkyrie and knight hoelbrak fresh air (+water and fire trair) s/d…. its LOVELY
nice burst and enough surv to survive a thief/mesmer burst or get out a hostile zerg or move from a burning point in spvp

so the answer is YES

indeed, it says enough…
sad :-)

and who knows a GM? so we can contact him during the hack period

i know this is no waterproof proof
i started filming during fight where i accidently was
i cannot babysit every tower/keep and keep filming during the whole day hoping they will come :-)
all walls / gates are 100%, if they were broken we would have spent a lot of suply and did a mesmer check everywere and that takes time so they will be catched before ;-)

BAN the * * hackers anet, rly ffs!!!!
we reported them 10000 times and when will u ban them??

It was around 12.37 Belgium time the mesmer and thief did it again

blacktide server

BAN THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

or learn to play ele
so many heal and regen possibilities, no need to increase the HP
each class has his positive and negative issues, dont make them even, that would be sooooo boooring
it makes a class specific in its own …

ok thanks all for the explanation
now i do understand and i see its a very powerfull trait!
it gives way more survivability.

good weekend

hi all
what does this gm trait in illusions mean?
can somebody give me a concret example?

thanks

maybe ur sigils proc together? (sigil of air and the other (aoe flame blast))

@ tim: lower your ambition when commanding, i do the same and it will become more ‘livable’ + check who is following you on your mini-zero and reform your ambition, it will become fun again.
Like said before: stay positive and say what u expect from your mini-zero (for ex: 2 rams, the other 2 cap camp to resp after tower: easy and short instructions) we have a few new wvwvw players. They have to learn so when u are commanding: teach them a bit to understand and react properly

@ asterix: finally we know who the low-life canon watcher is! as Lordmenting said: we feel respected now although we are just freestylers in 1 guild playing what we want: totally unorganized kiting vabbits when possible. Don’t mislead urself on the meaning of our guildname ;-)

@ tim again: listen to the words of an old man named kaporhabakuk (a few posts before), it will salve a frustrated mind

enough crying WSR: start playing wvwvw again!

see u ingame!
greetings, Denypria (OTAN)

Tadsoul.6951:

signet of vampirism is really weak also it doesn’t work in death shroud
it provides less healing per second in most cases
removing weakness can increase your damage more then the signet

just a tip for roaming as a necro your gonna die from zergs or just being outnumber just get use to it.
then learn how to avoid the zerg so you never see them
also since it sounds like you want mobility id suggest taking wurm
and also try out this build sometime http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fRAQNAodGjc0WejxN83m4Wok6HgOAGgXg65INiWA-TVCEABEcEASU9ntUCawhAgJlf5s/Qb6DA4EA8wDAgUAPNsC-w
if you want permaswift just take a warhorn or put some more points into death magic

thanks for the tips
i will try it out when i again have more gold and skill points

Holl.3109:

You had the right idea, but wasn’t there yet :P
Here’s what I have perfected, more damage (through zerker stuff and death perception [Do not ever take FitG anymore >.>]) and more survivability through Spectral Armor, staff, and vital persistence.

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fRAQNBIhZakjmab7tx4G2bTIMUQtlRHATQEQdXkF7KA-T1yDABScEAQVJ4PKxK4BAAgJuDOBANp8Qn9H8QfQAHCgXU/JAACA38m3MkCochWA-w

Use Swall and Swalk WISELY and do amazing jukez and escapes!

made some small adaptations and yes, it goes better. Thanks!
the dps is decent now, survivability increased. perma swift is achieved… good good
bb

ok thanks
is the signet of vampirism not good? i do see the advantage about the heal: consume conditions
1100 toughnes, isn’t that not too squishy?
an extra stunbreaker with spectral armor is nice thou, well i see the logica
gonna try it tomorrow! ty

Hey all
Let me introduce me:
i play wvw on a low tier, almost never duel, never zerg but roam in small group (2-5 person)
so what is for me important: high dps, lot mobility and great survivabilty cuz we mostly face bigger groups or being chased be the whole enemi zerg (yeah, low tier wvw… their zergs hate my guild (zerg kiting) ): kill and run strategy ;-)
i play with every class except warrior and with every class i have a good burst dps and almost Always can outrun a hostile group/zerg
last month i finaly made a necro but for some reason it is very hard for me to play (even my s/d zerker ele is not so squishy) because no stealth, no blink, no leap, lack of stability and exp…

i am new to this class so plz, what utilities do i have to use to play a power necro and in what way do i have to change my playstyle

in de build editor i made this build: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fRAQRBIbdG2JNi0Zj92gxNwejJ6FEoCEdlObo+c2qA-TlxDABeofQn9HQVJ4Lq/8jyPAM/RKgy1VB-w
but bcuz the lack of money and SP and experience i havn’t it allready

plz give me some feedback about: how can i increase my dps and increase my survivability

greetings and excuse for the bad english

EDIT: if the build editor is bugged: valkery gear with runes of the pack, knight trinkets with emerald thingies. zerker weapons

oh wonderfull, thank you all for the info!!

hi,
question:
when i lay down a waterfield when playing engi and i blast it, will it heal ppl standing in the whole waterfield or only the ppl standing in the range of my blast?

gtz

Sorel.4870:

Hello, SD thief main here. It’s not too difficult a match-up, if you think about it. If you want to beat us, you must:

- Not play berserker. No Fresh Air S/D,S/F eles. You’ll lose every time.

offc u can beat s/d thieves with fresh air s/d (my favorite playstyle)

when the thief is on you do all the aoe u have: fire 2, 3 and 4
use air 5 and earth 4 to interrupt their attack
use air 2 and electric discharge for insta dmg when the thief pops up (fresh air is lovely for that)
final shielding is, when the dmg is not too high, a nice help to survive a burst attack cuz at that moment u are protected for 3 attacks what means u can do ur burst on him + when it ends it explodes so again more dmg. Combined with swap air attunement… boem

and use the other tips above ;-)

gl and happy hunting

lovely!!! love the way u think about an ele haha
BUT
when u die, all the downed enemies get back alive so don’t die… i changed your build a bit to do more dmg (fury on attunement switch and burning duration cuz thats ur only condi dmg BUT u have 7% more dmg on burning foes… wauw :p )
sigils and arcane lightening (air trait) too
http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFAQJAoYnMISLD25AMAfEIIAQiG4wscCX9p0bA-T1RBABRcCAuS53N7PgneAAeAAUq+jZKBJDg8YA-w

so start with air 4 and 5, do ur burning burst in fire, then use LF to get ur kitten away and redo ur burst combo ;-)

EDIT: use spell slinger in fire trait for more might

I’ve experimented with S/F Fresh Air, and found that somewhat lacking in WvW. Poor mobility, glass cannon, and difficulty landing necessary skills make this burst damage build fun but limited in application.
==> try s/d fresh air, when mastered u have great mobility and amazing burst! imo absolutely not limited in app
i play 0 6 1 3 4 with soldiers gear and zerker trinckets and it rocks!!!
check my video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4B8qoiKzyg

wow i totally disagree!!!
ele have less toughness and vitality then other classes so they must be mobile lol
what about the mobility of a thief? and what about the mobility about a warrior? thats even more then ele lol.
every class has his own speciality, learn to deal with it, try to counter it and stop complaining lol
i don’t think u understand the game…

hi all
question: when i put in my utility bar sharpening stone (SS) and in my trait keen edge: when i start a 1 vs 1 and i use SS, do i have SS again when my foe is below 75% health? or is it on cd cuz i used is in the beginning of the fight.

other question: when i trait concentration training and i press F2: in combat should i have 26sec might of my juvenile stalker but is limited on 15 sec (in or out combat): is it bugged or do i see it wrong?

excus for bad english

didn’t read all the comments but i just had a funny thinking xD
why not combine tornade with double blink (LF? forgot the name)
activate tornade, teleport to the bunh of enemiem troll and when it get worng blink out xD

same here
very weird but the chat functions very well even during lagspikes…

same here, since the last reset in WvW… Hope anet will fix that
EDIT: i still can chat but world freezes…

Rangerdeity.5847:

http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFIQFAWlcMonhVPwpBktNABgFOAEBWAiLBZghYp3AA-TFiDABLcAB4THxAPAgMV/BgLEQXKBdS5nK7PEA4A43fD893c+5nf+5n3v/+7v/+bpAGbZE-w I run this on a nightly basis the enemy takes massive spikes in damage but since im dodging in and out of 20+ other people they can never figure out which ele is the squishy that is ruining their lifes.

how do u guys survive? oO so less health/toughness: once u ar getting focussed u are gone
(but lovely dmg xD)

ok thank u all, learned alot ;-)

aha ok, so when i run in a small raid (5 ppl tot 10 ppl): i better go for dps then healing power/aquatic benevolence unless i blast the fields myself (arcane brilliance, arcane wave and eruption)
however, geyser heal a lot and the autoregen too…
is 1200 healing too much or good? (i link my build here: http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fFAQFAWnMISnDW5AuMArEIwCwIHDmBjwRZARBgiLhdAA-TVyDABM8AAKS53pKBvR9Am2fAgLAgNq4kr5vT0BQKAdVGB-w )

and another question: what happens when i have aquatic benevolence traited? when a thief (or other char) blasts it, does he have 25% more healing from it?

hi all
Does the amount of heals due to a blast of a waterfield depends on de person who put a waterfield or the person who blast it?

so: when a heal specced ele put a waterfield and a dps specced thief blast it get more heals when a NON heal specced ele put a waterfield and a heal specced thief blast it

grtz
