Guild Wars 2

same with Lunaria, the infused version has less stats that the regular one.

the funny thing is that sor players talked all the time about “fights” but when they where matched against mag and fa last week they just kept blobing when in both servers guilds are willing to let others fight without interference.

and the worst of all, now they are moving back to kitten blob wars, sor had various great guilds that are into gvg but is sad to see them n**hugging in the field.

legendary weapons on the beginning were badly implemented, everyone has one (even I have one and I almost never farm nor play tp and most of the time I sit at less than 100g), from my point of view if you want a legendary weapon you should master all aspects of the game, I would even include a pvp rank restriction along wvw restrictions that would show that you at least know about that game mode and earned something there.

is going to be fun to camp achievement spots in EotM

ranger is not the problem, bear bows it is.

being serious, I love my ranger but this days is for pve only, in wvw they don’t bring anything that other classes can bring to the group better, they are mostly a self class that can do damage to 1 enemy because of the lack of aoe and if you want to go with greatsword you need high vit/armor which will drop your damage a lot.

+1

Solution: stop caring about ppt

get yourself in a zerg busting guild, 20 organized people can take 50 dudes blobs

WvW would be better off. I like the downed state but dislike the rally mechanic. I can live without either but would prefer rally be gone.

Canguro.5768:

if down state is gone then a rez mechanic would be needed, on gw1 everyone had access to a rez signet and another specific rez skill, in this game rez skills don’t work on dead people, only downed ones.

GW1 is not a good comparison. That game had instanced PvE which would completely reset if everyone died. GW2 has waypoints and almost nothing resets. Group wipes in GW1 were very painful. Group wipes in GW2 are inconvenient at best.

but the difference is that we are talking about WvW here and not PvE

after leagues best wvw experience is in T2, not as much blobing as T1 but still a lot of large scale fights. T1 is just one massive blob running around on every map and T3 is full of ACs, before the season T3 was way cooler.

if down state is gone then a rez mechanic would be needed, on gw1 everyone had access to a rez signet and another specific rez skill, in this game rez skills don’t work on dead people, only downed ones.

I’m not worry about ascended armor atm, it gives a minimal advantage on every set, the entire set gives at most like 5% more stats, not even worth it

but there is nothing better than to farm waypoints, attack enemy garrison/ek/wk with wp, clean it, wait on waypoint for enemies and bomb

As someone else said, chemso from scnd got it too, he plays staff ele.

As you can notice, none of the people that have it zergs, all of them just raids every day for many hours with their guild

lesson 1: don’t close yourself to only 1 build, ranger needs very specific builds for every type of role that you could have on wvw.

I carry 5 sets with me all the time, zerker with scholar for pve, for wvw I carry soldier with scholar, soldier with dolyak, soldier with melandru and apothecary with undead.

for 1vs1 you want high regeneration and condition damage. (apothecary set)

for up to 10vs10 you have room for high damage sniping. (soldier/scholar set)

for 15vs15+ you want to have lots of armor. (soldier/melandru or soldier/dolyak if your party has a tons of condition cleansing)

for weapons, in 1vs1 sword mainhand is the choice, for offhand choose dagger, axe or warhorn, other set that is good is axe/torch or axe/axe, maybe use a shortbow or greatsword depending on what you are built.

for small teams I like longbow and sword/warhorn, longbow has barrage which is good as a soft cc and with rapid fire you can help sniping a low life target, sword is great for mobility (don’t use auto target) and warhorn has a blast finisher for regroups.

for big scale fighting, longbow and greatsword, longbow has same purpose as above and greatsword is awesome to push in the zerg because of the 3rd autoattack evade, also has a leap in (or out) skill for mobility, a block to survive a couple more seconds and a high damage hit on skill #2.

can’t believe that the SBI queue followed us all the way to the JP

we had a nice farm in YB’s north camp, dunno why they kept coming and coming after wiping many times and trying to build siege, lucky I have a salvage-o-matic to get some bags space while fighting.

As a regular WvW player I don’t care much about rewards, yet there are some rewards that could be awesome.

- Ascended backpiece, stats of choice, don’t care about skin or ability to infuse it.
- Free server transfer for top 3 gold league servers and top 1 silver league server.

But in the end, looks like the only ones that are QQ about the rewards are PVE players that farmed the achievements. WvW has always been about gameplay and the reward is satisfaction, not some loot.

That fight last night at SoS Garrison was a lot of fun, I think I got around 300 kills on that alone, had to salvage full inventory twice middle fight, we even got a merchant going in 2nd floor

I will always remember BagsGate for giving me tons of shiny!

this is how we ppt

did lvl 18, got 1g 10s

same issue, we had to go to character select screen to get back to LA then to the fractal, at least it stayed in the state that we left, so we didn’t had to do everything again.

got the same bug, had to restart fractals, sent a bug ticket of course.

first of all, just zerg to the top, bring condition cleaners, stun breakers and swiftness.

have a party of 3-4 to enter the different instances in the way, no need to have a full party, also it looks like they scale with more people.

for final instance I did it first with 3 (story), then a second time with 4 (explorer), really easy.

the content at least looks fresh which is nice, but is very easy as long as there is a zerg to keep going up

Went to TC BL with 2 other guys, killed 1 dolyak, 10 TC showed up, went to a camp, 15 TC showed up, killed 5 TC and 20 showed up, casually passed by a tower, AC and cannon manned… that desperate on PPT even when is obvious that you are going to win the week?

Don’t remember any SBI group last night, where did the zerg go?
Still we had some nice fights against some FA and got many bags in the process

I think when the GvG is 10 or less ranger could have a place, but with larger groups there just isn’t a role that the ranger could have that other class fill better.

I love my ranger in small fights, runnig a CC Power build to keep the enemies in place and bring down specific targets, but for any guild raid or GvG I have to switch to my guardian or warrior.

Asudementio.8526:

They need to remove stacking sigils, food, and oil/crystals/stones too!

actually that’s not a problem because everyone has access to them and is a great way to create more builds.

the problem here is a buff that only 1 server can get at a time making it more powerfull

Melfice.5091:

All 6 turrets need to spam 1 and 2 on tequatl nonstop to nuke him through phase 1

actually that doesn’t work that well, yes, you have to hit 2 when is ready but spamming 1 on 2’s cooldown isn’t the silver bullet you are looking for.

turrets need to use #3 on fingers to clean poison and hit #4 and #5 on allyes that are fighting tequatl.

btw, my soldier ranger hits the dragon for more than the turret #1 over time, skill #1 is to use only when no other skill is ready to use or isn’t the moment to use it.

I like the idea that someone else posted about reseting the points every reset, so at least for a given matchup you won’t have the flexibility to change them for every situation.

Really can’t believe what you are suggesting, what if I bring, let’s say a dire guardian? that’s the way I want to play, and your way of playing is not the way I like to play so you are griefing me (your logic).

This is an open world event, you will have low level people, all the jobs, all the races, all different type of builds and you won’t be able to do anything about that because you are just one small fish in the sea… oh and if you start insulting and talking about this griefing to you, then most likely you will get reported for bad conduct and banned.

Cheers

depends a lot on what you play, for group pve zerker, for wvw depending on the weapon I like zerker (e.g. longbow), soldier (e.g. sword/horn), valk or knight (e.g. axe), for the gaunglet and solo content I liked my rabid (e.g. shortbow, axe, dagger)… looks like for me will be cheaper to get the legendaries :P

In WvW when you do ~5v5 conditions can be very usefull, but against an organized guild with shout warriors and guardians, then just do some scratches.

In PvP I completelly agree, condition builds is the best you can get.

had 3 keys in my bank (that got from missions), got a ticket in my 3rd chest, very lucky but I still hate RNG since I couldn’t get any fused weapon.

It depends on the size of the group I’m running with

Small groups/Squads (15 or less)
- Spotter
- Eagle Eye

Bigger groups
- Piercing Arrows
- Eagle Eye

I see Remorseless great for roaming options (in theory), maybe for groups no larger than a party, but second scenario should requiere spotter also.

Great patch to the Ranger, indeed changing the vuln from LB #3 to #2 is kind of a nerf for static enemies (pve) is great for pvp, also the new stealth to LB #3 with Remorsless will make it for the vuln “nerf”.

With Wh #5 now being a blast finisher I’m more than happy, will give a nice boost to healing spring or the poison fields from some pets.

Mad Rasputin.7809:

Not complaining about the scroll, but I do find it a little amusing that ANet thinks someone who has achieved 5000 achievement points doesn’t play enough or have enough ALTs already… so we’ll give them a scroll so that they can roll another ALT!

~5800 AP and only 2 lvl 80, one of them even exclusive for WvW, so this comes great since it saves me ~30 gold for another WvW char.

not that much of a fan of crafted exotic medium armor, also don’t like much your color choice, looks like too plain. 4/10 sorry to be harsh but really didn’t like it

Here is mine, medium armor, priory coat and gloves, t2 pants and boots, invader’s shoulders.

I would love a tab for WvW equipment/traits, I even don’t mind that I have to use PvE gear in there, just want to be able to easy swap between builds.

About fees to change traits, the trainer in WvW maps should reset the traits in the WvW tab and the trainer in PvE maps should reset the PvE traits tab.

1) make pet dodge on command
2) pet leash up to 3000 (or more) range
3) warhorn #5 blast finisher

The problem that we have in Mag is that we don’t have real competition in T3 but we can’t stand any T2 server because of the mass population that they have around the clock.

We either need oceanics to fight T2 or less people in NA to fight in T3/T4

I also got my 20 wins without any zerging around, the key is never stop moving and if you are alone running from 2 or 3 oponents, USE your skills.

when you are running use #2 on your spot and you will hit for 30 dmg your enemies (better inside the tunnels), use #3 to freeze them, use #5 in open fields so enemy attacks won’t hurt you for a short period.

learn #4 range and don’t forget to turn auto attack on #1.

if you are having trouble with someone on the other team call for target, other ppl in your team will see it and might help you with that one.

I agree with this, dragon ball is great, love the game, but has really bad prizes, maybe give 1 rich coffer for winning team instead of a regular coffer? make 2 for top player/s

As a former quake2/3 player this mini game is a blast, actually rewards smart players that can learn the map and where are the different items (and their timer), also you need to be creative to use skills and know when to retreat. Yes, Akitten people are a huge problem (but still managed to win games with akitten ppl in my team), they should get kicked after a couple mins. Also prizes awefull, at least the game is great.

Just finished 20 games in a row, with 20 wins

got 1 in my first crate, many crates after haven’t got another but don’t care much actually, I really wanted a molten weapon, this ones are kind of meh, wish I could sell the ticket/weapon.

why do you have the 6th rune of the soldier if you don’t have any shout? you should swap it for something more useful

I liked SAB but never brothered on getting all the achievements, just did lots of speed run for the skins (gold farming)

Crab toss was fun for a while, got all the achievement with ease and have played a little more after that, of course not playing it all the time but I may join a couple games after farming in southsun.

Why is “too much math” a problem?

Do you know how much of the world/universe is driven by math? (hint: all of it)

This is only a video game. Apples to oranges

wiki the math, its more complex than e=mc2

I’m saying its to complex for the application/ and i guess 1 guy should not pick weekly fights

But anyways they will fix it soon so wvwvw will be much happier

You just compared Glicko to Special Relativity.

Please refrain from posting further.

Actually, relativity could be a lot more easier that statistics, depends a lot on the mindset and your field of study

Eurantien.4632:

Does nobody use conditions in wvw? A lot of builds I see have no condi removal.

My build doesn’t have any condition removal besides healing spring, in my guild we have shout warriors that can control them so isn’t a real problem, we rely and coordinate with everyone else.
