Guild Wars 2

akaCryptic.2389:

Blobbing is one of the worst tactics and can easily be outplayed. Send your mobile players to uncap nodes and when they split to cap things, kill them one by onE. im guessing this is low tier games.

They don’t split, they go from point to point in a mass ball.

I think if the points were lowered for kills it would stop it….it’s meant to be a first to 500 point system, thus about holding objectives. They just ignore them in a zerg and maintain on average about one, it takes forever for them to win but it means they probably only have 3 live players against them at one given time.

Beep so you must be a blobber?
I think I’ll stay though, thanks for useless input.

Has pvp now just evolved into a 5 man blob fest?
I would say atleast 1/3 games are 5 guys sticking together and going around in a noob bloob – how did we let pvp become to such disgusting cheap tactics?

The only map that seems to stop is is sprit watch as they cannot possibly move between points as a blob without ignoring the orb..

What a tragic mess.:(:(

Thanks! You just saved me beating my PC to death.

That would explain my difficulty…
I unlocked the headbutt trait for warrior, how do I equip it, it’s not showing on elite skills despite unlocking it.

I literally cannot find one ANYWHERE.
Can anyone tell me where on earth these are?

Zach.3264:

If what you say it true, then he was using cheats.
To only lose 20% health he must have avoided the brunt of the damage in some manner, whether that be evade/dodge/immune.

This thread started out great, until about halfway through where you’re basically saying Thief are godclass.
Thieves are made for 1v1/small group. Why are you complaining that you died in this scenario when you said yourself that your build is for group play?

By all means go play a Thief, but you won’t be able to do much in a zerg, unlike Warriors can.

All I can suggest is go make a 1v1 build and learn your class and you’ll eventually even out. In my opinion, the outcomes of most fights on Gw2 all boil down to how good the user is with their class, and not the class its’self.

No Thief hits “20k in 1 go”. So, unless you have some figures we can work from then I wouldn’t suggest complaining about the class in their own forum.

You wouldn’t be happy if I made a thread in Warrior forum saying something along the lines of..

“OMG a Warrior just sneaked up on me, used Shield Bash then Hundred Blades and killed me in 1 second!?!? BROKEN CLASS”

Or how about I mention Warriors infinite pool of CC?

Please..

Stompy.1387:

Next up, you say that he killed you in exactly six seconds.. How do you know this so precisely? Either you have a video of the fight (which I’d like to see) or you must have stood there calmly counting the seconds of the fight while he was killing you.. Which might explain why he killed you so quickly, if you just stood there.

Knows he died in “precisely 6 seconds”.
Doesn’t know what he died from.

Seems legit, yes?

If you’ve been shield bashed by an apparently visible yet stealthy warrior then 100 blade killed you’re not doing so well, seeing as shield bash has a ludicrously short range in the first place.

Bottom line is thief 1v1 is a better class than me, you can’t argue it’s range of escapes, hides, attack picking. A warrior is always exposed, and has terrible utilities like bull charge which often miss, and a thief can cloak right after a knockdown anyway.

I ask you this, why do you only see Mesmers and thieves troll loitering outside castles in wvw and not warriors? Because a warrior is a lot harder to use that for, he isn’t better because you think he is, he’s better because of the options his character has i. A one on one scenario and you all know it, it’s just admitting it then suggests you aren’t a good player which you won’t like.

Look at all the threads on here talking about the power of the thief, is the whole of gw wrong and you right? No….

Anyone can use a thief, you never see bad thieves, it’s easy because it’s designed for that purpose.

Stompy.1387:

Is there a bingo card for the thief forums like the dungeon forums? This would win instantly.

Boldor Aran.8543:

My build is all power toughness vitality with a bit of precision. I have 29k health and 3.6 toughness, 1.8k shout heal. So today I did my usual trot along to get to the commander in wvw.

A thief cloaks onto me and killed me in exactly 6 seconds, now before I enquire about how it can cut a heavy tank to ribbons so quickly, he took a full volley of 100 blades at 70% critical chance and lost about 20% health.

Right from the start we can see something is horribly wrong with your numbers. There is no way, that if you build full PVT with a “bit” of precision, you will hit 70% crit chance. Even with fury. Next, assuming he did eat a full hundred blades (which if we assume this was a skilled thief, he would not) there is no way that he could only lose 20% health. Likely scenarios? You were standing in black powder, and missing most of your hits. More likely? He simply wasn’t getting hit by your 100b. Just dodged behind you and attacked from there.

Next up, you say that he killed you in exactly six seconds.. How do you know this so precisely? Either you have a video of the fight (which I’d like to see) or you must have stood there calmly counting the seconds of the fight while he was killing you.. Which might explain why he killed you so quickly, if you just stood there.

Throughout your post, you specifically say a few times that you are using the legendary greatsword Sunrise, as if it is supposed to be more powerful than other greatswords. Legendary weapons are just as powerful as other ascended weapons, so that part makes no difference.

Boldor Aran.8543:

Despite this it still shows that in one million scenarios I would not be able to kill him once

You don’t understand the game if you think I can’t get 70% from a warrior build! the extra precision comes from the odd trink, sword! food and precision trait! your understanding of the warrior is elementary. I already told you I had high armour which further boost my maintainable boost to precision.

The reason you would never beat him is simply because he is that much better than you. The thief isn’t some super duper OP faceroll win class, you’re simply flustered because you got killed a few times by someone who is better than you, and, much akin to a flustered child who exaggerates everything, you also are exaggerating everything about that fight.

Like I said I went back three times, he did similar each time, though the extra times I did little to attack him and focused on how much pain he delivered. By the way, anyone with an IQ north of 75 can accurately guess a fight length. I have this unusual ability to play and accurately measure time, particularly such a short amount of time.

You just said yourself about the suitability of the thief class and the warrior class as having two uniquely defined roles, yet you still think he’s better than me at the same time you acknowledge this difference in class type and role. Your sir…..are dim.

TL;DR?
L2P

This isn’t a moan thread but no doubt someone will make a comment and I’ll bite but I play as a warrior and have done since day 1.
My build is all power toughness vitality with a bit of precision. I have 29k health and 3.6 toughness, 1.8k shout heal. So today I did my usual trot along to get to the commander in wvw.

A thief cloaks onto me and killed me in exactly 6 seconds, now before I enquire about how it can cut a heavy tank to ribbons so quickly, he took a full volley of 100 blades at 70% critical chance and lost about 20% health. Bare in mind I’m also fully ascended and hit him with sunrise. Not only that this was ontop of sm gate and he had the attraction of atleast 3 veteran guards.

My question is, what on earth did this guy deal to me, and despite the outrageous damage, he appeared to have a good tank, arguably better than mine!
Normally I would not suggest this is overpowered because the thief is set out to be a target choser in small fights, where I’m (or atleast my build) is set out to provide shouts and survivability in a Zerg. Despite this it still shows that in one million scenarios I would not be able to kill him once, so I’m forced to say the power of this class at the moment is practically an i win build if built properly.

Now, should I also just level to 80 in a thief and do the same and claim I’m a great player because I can hide, attack, hide, attack win? This game will become thief wars 2.
You may ask why am I picking a fight when I’ll lose? Well I should be able to compete I cannot on any level against this class, everyone else I can, but this is just sheer awesome damaged, survivability speed, power, everything. This guy didn’t need a cloak ability, but even when knocked down….that’s right, hide. My utilities do nothing.

Normally I’d be able to carry on and just outrun them, but a good thief can circle a Zerg and chip away at someone on the sedge of the Zerg. I just can’t see any point continuing with so many troll builds looking to not actually contribute to wvw but loiter near gates hitting me for 20k in one go, it takes me about 4 seconds to delivery 11k 80% through a legendary 100 blades attack……absolutely pointless.

Roll on thief wars 2, you know you have a class problem when the above scenarios. Is possible, by the way I went back 3 times, this was no fluke, I was starting to think he was a hacker but he wasn’t.

Don’t be offended these are just comments, and also bear in mind I’ve been using the build for about an hour, but it’s so weak damage wise….sure it takes a lot to kill me but the power is so low, maybe best for wvw where i can use food instead of pvp.

Thanks for the recommendations, how do you find the dps?
I don’t have all the traits yet but does it tank well too?

Also regarding the heal why use shelter over resolve? Is blocking two attacks worth it for the less HP and the ability to heal a condition every few seconds?

Any recommendations/links for a PvP or WvW roaming solo build?
I’m looking for that pain in the backside build

These look interesting:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/professions/guardian/The-WvW-bruiser-build

But I don’t know if they are suitable for solo or small group roaming, I haven’t long been on level 80 which this class. Any help is much appreciated especially if the above builds are viable for my intentions.

Done everything in the game so moved on to pvp.

I invested everything into a warrior, ascended armour, legendary everything, it just absolutely sucks at sustained damaged and the utility skills are garbage. Hear me out before you say “you’re doing it wrong” or “there are good warriors” there are, just very few.

After playing this since day one I’ve tried pvp for the first time, obviously experienced in all aspects of the game mostly WvW and the warrior is countered so easily it’s laughable. I’m sick of someone thinking they’re amazing and dancing on my body with their “i win” class.

The basic setup for a warrior is melee, so what does that require? Holding your enemy still or you have no chance at sustained damage. Despite “warrior spirit” it doesn’t make you run fast enough to chase and smash over the head because others have swiftness making them move the same, mobility countered.

Bull charge: 2 second knockdown, what can you do in two seconds even if a) they don’t dodge it and b) they are stabilised which most pvp builds will be, easily countered.

Bolas, better option but most still have cure conditions or can break free, meaning you’ll again be chasing stuff hitting lumps of nothing but air chasing someone just as fast as you. There you have it, two of your utility skills made useless with more than one possibility most players have.

Greatsword and rifle both useless in pvp, there goes two available weapons right there. Forcing you to use axe, mace or shield which the skullcracker build is easily broken now too.

Now you’ll be facing a thief who will deal an insane amount of damage on you, then hide not knowing where he will strike, repeat until you die. Even if you somehow get the better of him or he messes up his attack, cloak….he’s gone and survived. While you stay in open air, vulnerable and constantly a target. Yes you’re thinking “well not if he lands into 100 blades” not many are stupid enough to do that, lets be honest. Even then a dodge gets him out of it. Death most of the time awaits.

Mesmer – It’s like fighting a crowd, I have never seen a warrior beat a mesmer because it can run away fast if it starts to lose, he can confuse by dumping clones at a stupid rate and not only that they deal extra damaged at medium range with a constant stream of zerk dps, again you’ll die.

Guardian, you’ll get outanked and die.

Ranger (assuming he’s ok) will range you with a steady stream of sustained arrows weaking you and keeping you at arms length, by this time you’ll be using the heal skills uncomfortably early while you hopeless chase after him meanwhile being bitter to pieces by it’s companion.

Of those above utility skills these classes have made useless their other slots will be used to bring you a whole load of pain. You can’t cloak, you can’t run away you’re dead.

Again before you say “I’m a good warrior” you might be, but you know kitten sure as I do for every good warrior there is 20 times the amount of mesmer and thieves, a build that is now just an option for people to level and make their “i win” build.

So what do I do? Level a mesmer myself and pat myself on the head thinking I’m such a pro player when actually I’m just a universally diverse consistent damage dealing, clone producing, cloaking superweapon? Yeah why not everyone else does?

Or perhaps I should be a guardian, it’s everything a warrior is with insane regenerative capabilities. (By the way I have noticed in pvp no one seems to go after the guardian) I’m guessing that because it takes so much dps to down it they’ll have no one left in their arena team to win.

Oh yes, and should you down you’ll be about to be impales when of….HALF of your down skill (vengance) is built up….lets throw a knockdown, oh but then he’s stabilised, and even if he isn’t you can make two attempts at a finishing move before the vengeance skill is even ready, while your mesmer if you down him will ping away, clone itself AGAIN, or other classes will get the chance to run a short distance to safety or yes…cloak again.

The warrior is a terrible awful class at pvp and I’m annoyed I can’t even compete with the shere dynamic options of the above classes that render it’s attacks useless while having their own stupidly over powered range of diverse attacking options.

I’m now going to join the trolls and become a mesmer or a guardian and just be invulnerable in arena pvp.

Rant over, RIP warrior.

It’s terrible.

Everything kills me, everything counters me leaving me chasing someone swinging the mace like a madman. The warrior can do NOTHING in pvp, absolutely nothing, everything it uses is countered with cure conditions or stability.
I’m going to be a kitten and just make an ‘i win’ build with a mesmer and thief which both have a ludicruous amount of damage and survivability.

Does anyone have a good build link/suggestion for a solo roaming skullcrack build? The one’s I google tend to be specific for PVP. I’m unsure what accessories and runes to use.

Thanks.

Ok, I’ll no doubt get moaned at here but I have to say this it’s been bugging me for a while. I have spent a lot of gold building a warrior class that can atleast compete in a 1v1 situation, zerk condition build, tank build, you name it, done it.

I have come to the conclusion that there isn’t any viable 1v1 build that can compete. This is just a desperately weak build that’s far too vulnerable and it’s main attacks can be nullifed with frightening ease.

Bull Charge: If using a GS or any melee weapons you need to land hits. This skill can be nullified by a simple dodge or even if you hit, the player can stabilise themself instantly before you unleash 100 blades for example. Almost doesn’t deserve a place in a warriors skill set. A thief can just cloak, only a bad player imo can get caught by this.

Bolas: Again, most players have either a shout, condition remove skill that will render this completely useless.

If these are cancelled out you’ll be chasing (even with warriors spirit) with a melee weapon hitting lumps of nothing but air, it’s quite difficult to pattern mirror someone’s run and keep smashing them over the head with a close range weapon, and that’s assuming you yourself aren’t crippled, frozen, stunned etc.

Recently I spent time as all out gank, ascended everything legendary GS, I’m dealing as much damage and pain as the game will allow but everything depends on me smacking the player to the floor and 100b him that’s assuming I haven’t been taken down by a thief cloaking on me and cutting me down in what looks like one instant death blow. Interestingly with 3k armor I still get cut to ribbons by a thief.

Look what the poor warrior is up against, if you’re a condition warrior the thief cloaks and hides and has a ridiculously high level of survivability. Deciding when and how to land on your face and chop you up, then hide away again if it goes wrong.

Mesmer – ridiculously overpowered in 1v1, it’s an ‘I win’ setup, clones that regenerate in seconds, superb tank, superb ability to flee if it goes wrong, super insane damage. Constant damage from medium ranges.

So that leaves a warrior exposed, limited ability to flee (unless GS), offensive weapons that are easily countered in your average 1v1 builds, meaning he runs around like a chicken trying to smack the player over the head. Is it me or am I the only one with a melee build slowly being chipped away while chasing players like a kitten? It’s too easy to recover from knockdowns, and even if bolas is used, then I have no other slots to have any versatility whatsoever..

Lastly, the F1 function on the GS is a JOKE, arcing slice….totally useless that again, depends on your pinning them down. Show me a player that can be held on one spot and wait to be smashed into mush by a warrior? No one does that unless their stupid.

This build is just awful 1v1 and too easily countered, I know may may disagree but if they expect a warrior to bash someones brains in with a mace, axe or GS, atleast make him able to run faster so he has a chance of dealing some sort of consistent steady damage.

I don’t expect an ‘I win’ build but competing with other players in a 1v1 is the least that should be expected. I’m bored of being pistolled to death at range, cloaked on and diced by a thief that can kill me even when invisible, or fighting an 3 man army in the form of a damage dealing, range uber zerked mesmer.

Lol chop me up.

Honestly, how does a warrior actually chop someone up? I have used a GS for a long time, 1v1 I hit lumps out of air nothing else. Either they are too fast for me, hide in stealth, or a mesmer dropping clone after clone on me.

I cannot think of any possible setup that works 1v1 with a warror, theres no way to sustain damage on someone. If I bolas them to use 100blades, then cure conditions, if I bull charge they use stability, everything is nulled and void.

I;m dead before I realise I’m dead as a warrior.

Really? I’d love to know this setup. I get killed by almost everything as a GS warrior.

I need a new character for PVP any suggestions?

I cannot do jack 1v1 with a warrior. GS is like slicing lumps out of air and chasing shadows. Stunning with shield has a 3 foot range, throw bolas just gets conditions cured and bull charge is irrelevant with stability.

How the heck is a warrior supposed to do anything when most of it’s best abilites are nulled so easily? I’m so bored of being laughed at by thieves who despite being a zerk too h ave a massive advantage in using stealth that I cannot and a mesmer for cloning itself with disturbing regularity.

Should I change to a thief class, especially with a nerf coming up?

Right I’m fast becoming bored of this class. I have tried so many combinations and poured so much gold into different runes but I still end up fairly useless, especially in a 1 v 1 situation.

I just came across a Mesmer in WvW that was able to double itself (not sure what that skills called) in seconds of me killing it’s doubles which took me seconds too as I’m mostly a zerk fitting. He actually killed 5 of us while staying at 50% health. I have no idea how someone can make what’s clearly an I win setup?? I altered my setup to all out attack, knock, stun, bolas, nothing would work he was impervious to everything. I have no idea what I’ve seen but since playing GW from day 1, that’s the strongest character I’ve seen. He was taking the absolutely wee out of us

I felt I was swinging my GS and doing absolutely nothing, this weapon frustrates me too how can I keep a stream of damage? I have to hit with 100 blades and to do that I need to hold him, still he breaks free and de stuns himself. Hammer did nothing as well. How can I possible even hurt him in that situation let alone kill him.

I’m totally unsure what setup to go for now. I feel like everything there’s an update I have to spend lots of gold re defining my whole style of play. Especially when my assed is kicked to badly.

Should I use different weapons? I expect I can beat everyone but seriously I have to be able to compete and I was a laughable opponent to this guy. I got tons of gold, legendary fitted but wealth in this game isn’t power like a lot of MMOs. As for Twlight…I feelt like it’s a total waste of gold. I’m not one to rage quit but this is winding me up. Anyone have a good setup?

Quick update and sorry to bump.

The build is excellent and deals with MOST threats. I have only lost a 1v1 once and I was caught by surprise by a high damage dealing thief. I owned everything in the E.B jumping puzzle today and easily dealt with three guys trying to bully me. I say easily, they bunched up together too closely allowing me to sword spin them to bits.
This is a really, really well thought out and good setup. I do think that however the bull charge is absolutely essential, if they get hit with that, sword slashed then sword spun most players are over half dead and then panic and run. I haven’t even got the full critical hit trinkets on me yet, so a full Ascended pack will be insane….

dunno if id say mace / sword was the best.. it’s ok but comes down to taste.. and obviously your build could help… if ever i was gonna use mace it’d be the offhand only. but i’m a big fan of the greatsword, and picking when to use hundred blades n such,

Thanks, I kind of understand the build now. Any recommendations for a weapon/armor set? If I have to lose GS, I’d prefer dual Axe. I’m not sure what ones to get.
Armor set I guess I need any set with power+precision+critical %

if you look at the second post i made on the thread at the build link? that’s exactly how i run and it’s pretty kitten good. great fun to play, tough.. and the damage output is pretty decent.

Sorry I clearly didn’t look at the tabs.

You selected a soldiers armor set (toughness/vitality/power) As far as I’m aware the only set that matches that configuration is Wvw armor? I can’t find any item on the market for example, that has shoulders with toughness/vitality/power stats.
Would it not be worth getting power toughness, critical % just to make the critical hit chance insane?

I’m not overly keen on massing badges of honor to get all those toughness/vitality/power armor pieces.

Badges is by far the easiest way (for me anyway), then there is soldiers gear from dungeon armour sets, as well as from certain karma vendors in orr, See here http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Armor_sets and scroll down to exotic karma sets and check those temple sets out and you will find a bit of it.

Also knights gear would work if you wanted to go the more damaging option, but then you would come out with a lot less health and you will simply die faster. the reason i go soldiers is i WvW quite a bit and survivability is key. arrow cart / balista fire tends to hurt a bit, this makes it less so. But by all means if you would prefer knights it would work, you can use that build calculator to get rough numbers of effective health / defenses etc etc etc.

Wow….the setup is much improved. I have mix and match soldier armour at the moment but it gives the needed stats. I’ll be able to get wvw soldiers shoulders by the days end to complete the full rune set. In the mean time I can keep picking up those badges to fund the armor over time.
The food and nourishment is fairly expensive – I can’t wait to see this setup with ascended trinkets though!!
Also, by using Twilight, I’d gain stat wise but lose the vital 100+ precision, so using Twilight doesn’t really work with this build? Perhaps I should buy a legendary bow instead.
One crucial part for me though is not using the Bloodlust Axe setup to stack bleeds on thieves, without this a cloaky could be a problem.

Rskippy, what did you mean by pvt armor?

I assume with this Lyssa ruin as it boosts precision, he’s put max traits in precions and toughness? Any ideas how his other trait points are assigned.
I’m literally a week away from gettting twilight, kind of bummed I bothered with it now if mace/sword is the best combo.

He definately didn’t use any immunity skills, bull charge etc. I suppose Twilight could be sold and I could buy a legendary mace/sword.

edit: just seen the traits post.

Sorry below is the better screenshot it shows all the buffs.

Hey all,

Just looking for some advice. I have tried a lot of setups to create a strong warrior in a 1v1 situation. I know this can be done, I’ve seen human warriors in the EB jumping puzzle almost tormenting up to 3 players.
My stats first:

Power 2086
Precision 1028
Toughness 1973
Vitality 1889 (30k with food)

I still get cut down in seconds, yet as an example last night I saw a Mace/Axe human warrior tank 4 enemies. I engaged him on my own too and he cut me to ribbons, and my best attacks didn’t even get him to less than 65% health. Even if I could hurt this guy, he has insane pace and could run and regenerate. I don’t understand how someone can be so strong and me so pathetic. Are my stats bad?

I took a screenshot of this warrior I referred to above so you can see what stacks he’s using. Any suggestions? I have not yet tried to create a fast, powerful and regen build, but this guy had it all. Any help would be appreciated.

Rayya.2591:

you can build your warrior balanced to absorb a lot of damage and still deal a lot DPS
on my warrior i got following stats . ( i regen 360 hp /second cause healing signet /adrenal heal) and i restroe 352 hp/crit/target food 450 from sigil (2 sec CD).
Critical chance also go over 48 % with food/ 68 % with furry.
I can pull hb over 20k damage on low defence on wvwvw.
but since you sayed he used axe +axe is very posible that you got hit by an eviscerate by 12k damage or even more since your gear is not full exotic

The difference may largely account for my lack of using the regen signet, which I’ve now slapped on my character. You’re saying this gives you 352hp/sec regen? I don’t understand the comment about you restoring another 352hp critial target on top of that? I didn’t realise there was food to boost regen either, i will look at that. He definitely had eaten some food
Still my stats aren’t that bad compared to yours?

You beat me on power and precision though, so I’m guessing with the added power plus higher chance of critical you can eat into someone a lot more effectively, particularly useful when using a Greatsword.
I should buy full exotic trinkets but the type I buy will effect my armor sigs. I was going to buy Doylak sigs (power vitality and toughness bonuses to armour) and apply it to an armour type that gives only the same benefits, power toughness vitality. Then buy the exotic trinkets to match those 3 qualities too. Perhaps then with the regen this would be a solid char I don’t know.

1. 80
2. Whispering Greaves with Infliltration Rune (I know, I need to replace this)
3. Don’ think so, he never went invunerable, then again he didn’t need to.

It was just a huge tank and terrible damage, people on my team were saying you won’t kill him etc, don’t bother. He was just stood there taking the complete biscuit.

Ok clearly after trying a lot of setups, I’m doing something wrong and need your help.

My warrior copes quite well in WvW, however I just came across a dual aze weilding nightmare warrior in Eternal Battlegrounds. Oddly 4 allies were ignoring him so I decided to attack it, epic mistake.
I bull charged him, sword slashed him, switched to hammer and smashed his face in with everything I had only to knock him down to 70% health, he knocked my 26k health in half in a few second blitz attack, then withdrew.
Now I know I can change my setup to deal insane damage, that’s not an issue, my issue is how he managed to create insane damage output with insane tank, 3 of me would have barely taken this guy out. All I could get from him is he had 2 x axe and used the regen healing sig.
Now I don’t have exotic, jewellery, but surely it can’t make such a massive difference? Or do I need to cough up and get start spending? I’m at a loss as to how I’m so weak….felt embarrassed to even fight him. Hides
Any ideas? I guess I’m a bit tired of swapping around my setup all the time.

Dzagonur always seem to stick together, in effect it ruins solo pvp.

Why can’t these guys hunt alone, they literally NEVER leave the security of a pack of 4+

Really weakling competitors.

Even when u find them alone or in a pack of 2, then u still dont wanna fight them because when u own them they chicken out and run too friendly npcs or teammates for backup. kitten part of all is when u chase them too those npcs and think kitten that coward let him hug those npcs and u walk away they gonna chase u and when u focus them again they running fast back too the npcs again so i dont think u wanna face them alone then u better can find a group and kill those small groups atleast then they chicken out way less then when u see them solo.

I know, I mean obviously it’s WvW but with say Underworld for example you see a few people looking for 1v1s or small pack fighting, Dzagonur literally are the most insecure gamers ever, they literally have to mass together or they know they can’t win.
I guess it cultural, it;s the german way of fighting. Overwhelming odds or it’s not fair RUN!

Dzagonur always seem to stick together, in effect it ruins solo pvp.

Why can’t these guys hunt alone, they literally NEVER leave the security of a pack of 4+

Really weakling competitors.

im a thief, im overpowered not because of my profession but because of my gears, ive probably killed each and everyone of you, but it doesnt mean i dont die, ive died hundreds of times in wvw, ive killed people in a blink of an eye, a level 15 moa killed me the other day, did you hear me complain?

if you dont wanna die i suggest you dont go wvw or spvp play something else like dance dance revolution, do you hear us thieves say ‘OMFG PLS NERF GUARDIANS THEYRE HARD 2 KILL’ no we don’t. so stop whining like a woman and take it like a champ.

heres an attachment of my stats and gears, just recently got the quiver of swift flight so more power for me

No one is whinning, you seem to get irate fairly easily so it may be you that needs the tissue box. Genrally it’s not overpowered but 1v1 it has a huge, huge advantage.
I just got done again in about 10 seconds, I landed a few blows but they may have been on his duplicates, it’s a very easy setup to use 1 v1 but probably not in a pack wvw.

I have never got a thief below 50% health 1 v 1, it’s definately overpowered

You can’t kill a thief therefore they must be overpowered? Thieves require little skill to be effective but that doesn’t mean they are OP. The vast majority of complaints about thieves are a L2P issue imo.

I don’t play a GC thief, mostly because of how weak they are in a 1v1 situation against someone who knows what they’re doing, but they don’t bother me at all tbh. If you have an ability to escape basilisk venom and you can predict or avoid the damage of a thief in stealth they’re very easy to deal with in my experience. Warriors are probably the weakest profession in a 1v1 situation though but good use of stuns, dodging and invulnerability, such as shield stance or endure pain, and you can counter GC thieves. A good player is always going to be hard to kill though, regardless of profession.

They’re overpowered because that’s the general consensus of people which is absolutely correct. BullRush, despite having them in my sights just seems to miss almost all of the time. Even if I hit them, i get them down to 2/3 health and they run and cloak, throw doubles and having me chasing ghosts while they shot the heck out of my with blasters. Too fast, too stronge, too many chances at escape.
Believe me, I’m not a bad player, my guy is slow sure, but he has a ton of health, pimped up mods and I can beat almost everyone 1v1 except the thief, I just fought a particulary stupid thief, no real skill he should have easily taken me, however he just, by the skin of his teeth managed to kill me.
It’s ridiculous, if I could start again I’d just be a thief, hide in a hold and annoy the heck out of people trying to the jumping puzzles.

Sorry to bump but no point starting a new thread.
I see a post about the warriors amazing sword spin and bull charge. Sorry but the bull charge rarely seems to work against thieves and yeah I can land a hit with the sword spin and it makes a dent, that’s it. I spend the remaining 5 seconds of my life, and believe me I have a lot of health!! Laughing at how I can’t even land a hit.
It’s an “I win” setup plain and simple.
If anyone played Eve online it’s similar to the Vagabond, appears out of nowhere, made a paper, fast and ridiculously strong dmg output, but that atleast could be countered, I have never got a thief below 50% health 1 v 1, it’s definately overpowered, but I have tried combating it with a Rifle yet to get guarenteed hits because a sword against a thief is a complete no win scenario.

First of all, my only neg of the game so far, being forced into WvW to get 100% completion, which I just need to point out, there will be about 20 areas of interest left to discover even after I have done all the main map and WvW ones? Not sure where the 20 of so points of interest are?

Anyway, my main point, why the heck are people so strong in WvW? I just had a guy kill me in (no joke) and this was a 1v1 – 6 seconds flat. I have 25K Vitality, and even have exotic trinklets on me. How is this possible because it’s annoying as hell. I didn’t manage to land more than a few slashes with my sword, which I’m finding quite hard for PVP combat?

Everyone else pretty much kills me in 1v1 too, I can compete with most but that last guy was invincible. I also came across this cloaking guy who just danced circles around me hitting, cloaking, hitting cloaking and I’m half dead before I can figure out how to hit him.

My character is too slow, too weak and too reliant on close quartered combat, which wouldn’t be a problem if he actually could hurt people, but they just run away and kill me at range.

Any suggestions? The experience sucks.

Guys, thanks a lot. It seems gold is treated as an item, I had over items waiting to be picked up. I cleared about 30 and gold slowly came back after the next set of cancelled orders. Phew!!
Sorry to bump but just wanted to say thanks!

My inventory is full (80 slots) and I have about 100 items in pickup with zero gold.
I just listed a few more on the market to clear some inventory space, accepted a few more items from pickup to clear it a bit and still nothing.
Hopefully they will see how many items I’ve been buying and be able to determine that I would have needed a lot of gold to do that and help me out with whatever is causing this insane issue.

Yep they were not all filled, no way.
I cancelled about 60 orders, each order asked for 5 items. Some had all, some had just one completed, it’s all gone

Yeah I tried that, I have always got the gold back with lots of items in the pickup tab. I just sold a few items and put more in my inventory from pickup but it still says zero gold. I’m freaking out =/ It seems to be gone.

I had about 70 gold and decided to throw it all at the trader to buy a lot of items I wanted. I wake up this morning only getting a few items I asked for on my buy orders, so I cancel about 60-65 orders and guess what…..my gold at pickup is ZERO, it’s just completely gone!
I’ve put in a support ticket but I don’t think they will believe me unless they can somehow see what buy orders I had in? I would be sick if they can’t verify this as I couldn’t possible continue playing having lost everything.
Anyone had this issue? I’m wondering if I was lagging at the time causing the issue.
