Guild Wars 2

Warrior.

Hate, hate, HATE !

it’s not interesting, not tactical, not fun. Skills are okay though, I just don’t like fighting underwater. And mobility is bad.

• This game isn’t like others MMO, thanks for that
• You can’t speak after doing 3 fail attempts at dungeoning
• I think you lack proper understanding of GW2 base mecanics.
• Don’t want to sound rude but you’ll have to learn to play. GW2 that is. It’s different, it’s personnal survavibility combined with group performance.

I feel sorry if you don’t like it, I was somehow like you at first, even though I was a little less affirmative. But i’ve learned to understand how this game works -differently-, and it’s all good to me.

I think it’s just classic armors you can get somewhere else. For reroll it’s great.

Christos de Soufre.3802:

Nothing until they release Cleric’s ascended gear.

That.

I’m not wasting my money on ascended I don’t really care about.

You’re taking it the wrong way dude.

A week old is young. Get to 80 at your pace, have fun, test weapons, test things you want. Don’t even try to buy new gear, it’s pure waste of money or karma.

For dungeon I recommand you do the explorable mode once 80, but you can do the story mode if needed. Failing and discovering dungeons is part of the learning process, you might encounter other players in story mode that are quite lost or not well geared.

Dungeons are tough at first anyway, so don’t worry.

You’ll have plenty of time once 80 to discover beyond what you’ve learned. Build etc… it’s a matter of perfecting your char, and better understanding of the class. It’s indeed very fun to discover new mecanics, new way of thinking etc… but it’s way too much overwhelming at first, and you might get frustrated by all the informations you don’t understand.

I suggest you play normally to 80, just as everyone did, have fun and then when you’ll feel the need to go further come back here, I’m sure you’ll have learned a lot of things by yourself by then.

One has always walked before running. Time will come don’t worry.

thanks for the advices guys.

I’m kind of surprised sword is recommanded as I often read it’s not that good due to condition removers. I might give an other try, coupled with a GS.

And train, knowing I’ll die a lot.

Though what rune/trinket would you recommand?

I am indeed aware that is takes time and patience to master a class. I do think I’m quite good at it and its understanding on the pve side, but pvp is a whole re-learning process.

That’s why I’m here actually.

And i’ll have a look at videos yeah. I’ve seen a lot of punishing as you said, lot of bull charge, frenzy, 100B boom dead. Though I DO hope pvp isn’t only about that.

Noted about mobility. I confess I’m not really running around, I tend to stick to the guy to somehow try to finish him. Which rarely happens 1v1.

AR is agony resistance.

Don’t go over 19 is you don’t want to get killed in a blink of an eye.

You could still did 10-16 quite easily without, but you’ll have to learn how it works on bosses.

If you don’t like doing dungeon (may I say chain them), jumping puzzle, events, rerolling etc… then I don’t think any MMO will please you.

let’s face it, they can’t provide content as fast as we play.

This new live event, it’s just the first day. Sure helping the wounded and repairing signs wasn’t the most passionating thing ever, but I do like the idea behind it. Some kind of elemental kittenstorm coming.

Really eagerly waiting for the next days to see what they’ll do with that, it’s too early to be disappointed.

For my part I’m like 300H in and still having a lot of fun. Though I do love dungeons and fractal… if only they could give us cleric ascended.

Yeah, I’m not even hidding myself anymore. I just plainly suck at PvP. I can handle PvE juste fine, I love it, even the most challenging dungeon or event.

But I can’t hit a crap in PvP, I always ends up staggering in the middle of the scoreboard, just between the leet and people that just joined.

I’m happy when I make 130 points in sPvP. Not talking about WvW because I don’t like bus and never find any roamer.

I like PvP, I think it’s fun, but it’s just that I’m bad.

So I would like some help. I’ve tryied an infinity of setup. I suck at finding good gear, good weapon. I tryed zerker GS, got pwned like never. Tryied knight Hammer, was fun, condition sword, I was bad. Axe/shield as PVT was fun, but damage was so low I was crying of frustration in 1v1.

And died in the end indeed.

What do you think is the most uber-noobie setting I could fine? Seeing I’m no l337 maybe should I go with PVT with offensive build?

Help, I need to find something I could at least beat a thief with.

Nah I’m kidding, but at least an inge.

Any must-have skill/weapon/advice for PvP?

Thanks fellow warriors.

Well, we might look bad with GS, but at least we don’t look like cat, flower, giants or little annoying things ! Eh !!

The second one is a bad idea. Cooldown is 120 sec on 3 slots and 240 for the elite banner.
They don’t do much damage, don’t have auto attack. You can reduce cooldown by 20% if traited.

Though 3 banner is a lot in your hotbar. It’s up to you, but that wouldn’t be very effective.

The first one is wierd also. Sword isn’t so much damage-based. I don’t get what you mean about mitigation and dodging though.

Sword is all about a little damage and bleeding. Go with condition damage or …well, you won’t damage that much. Sure it still does DPS, but compared to an axe it’s bad.

So i’d recommand either dual sword with pow/cd dmg/crit, or go axe, even though I reckon it’s less ninja’y

Stop whining, they’re making monthly so people discover or use new facets of GW2.

Jumping puzzle, events, fractals…

is it really so hard to do 30 JP in a whole month? Considering you only have to be at the entrance and you already have 3 JP in lion arch.

5 min for 10 days. At max.

or complete some others if you feel like it.

again : +1

Completly destroys my style of play. Currently fractal 16, was expecting those ring to come out… disappointed. Very.

Sure I can go lunar/solaria, but I just loose so much healing stat it’s not even funny.

This is now clear in my mind. Thank you very much gamelord

Hey guys.

i’m kind of lost, so I’d like a little clarification.

I am currently at level 16.

Let’s imagine I am the top level in the group, others are 1, 5, 8 and 12.

So I launch fractal with this group, I assume the whole group will be 16, with difficulty 16, agony and all that.

Now will people 1 and 5 have bonus reward too since they’re impairs? if they do I understand they will have their own level kind of reward.

Will everybody gain a level in fractal?

Now let’s still say I’m 16. I’m playing with a 30, 11, 3, 24

Will we be able to chose the level we want to play? Say we choose level 10 for easyness, will level 30 and 24 still have bonus reward such as pristine? I think I understand they’ll get rewards based on the current level right?

Thanks for your help, I’m kind of lost and would like to do fractals with people of very low levels, but still I don’t really want to lose pristine or ascended rings.

Anyone has any idea how long it will last? I did 60 helps this morning but am working late tonight. Hope it’ll last at least 2/3 days for people to catch up.

Any statement I missed on that?

changing amulet and 2 rings for solaria/lunaria and eye of abaddon I’m loosing 173 healing power. That seriously sucks.

Please give us cleric and other possibilities

Signed.

I’m sad there’s nothing healing centric. Like cleric y’know.

skullmount.1758:

Recycle.5493:

These new dailies are so easy and diverse I don’t feel like I’m doing the exact same thing over and over and over again every single day.

Now I have 2 laurels.

How did you get 2 laurels?

Different timezone I guess.

Anyway got healer and dodger too. no problem whatsoever. Did the dodge thingy on karkas and heal in fractal.

take mine here : https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/suggestions/Need-ascended-heal-ring-earing

My healing build sucks on bosses. Luckily I can just equip them right before the boss.

I did. And agree

Soldier runes is your best friend in PVP.

Go for PVT gear, soldiers runes, knight/zerker/valkyries jewels. Healing shouts. That’s a great combinaison

Having protection a few seconds is nothing compared to removing conditions fast.

Axe – Warhorn.

Axe is just plain damage in mob’s face. Warhorn because it’s just so much fun. Well traited it removes condition, grant speed, grant boons etc…

Got a dungeon axe (PVT), warhorn (cleric) and one of each as a berserk version too for soloing.

I’m so sad seeing so many junkies with GS spamming HB like no tommorow. There is way more than that !

Made the exact same post 2 hours ago.

Need real ascended with +heal/pow/tough.

I don’t care about condition damage & whatnot (using axe and warhorn eh)

I guess they want people to obtain it “the right way”. Laurels, fractals, whatever.

Just not people giving them for free to their mate. Take agony right in the face is a good way to learn how said-agony works.

Though I do agree we should be able to do something with them, like recycle them to craft new ascended.

I’m sure they’re also thinking about it

You are compulsive, not the game.

It’s not life-breaking if you miss a daily once in a while. I think. Just go make your dungeon and don’t think about the rest.

Just dropped by to say I like it. Thanks ANet.

Well, just a little bump for visibility

Well the titles says it all.

i’m running a healing banner build, having about 1050 heal.

The total of my current 5 jewels is 461
And when I’m at the boss I have to change to my ascended gear.

I can have the lunaria, magellan, solaria or the 4th seal, but it’s crap compared to my sapphire, has condition damage (seriously?) and make me loose a lot of stat which makes me globally useless.

May we please have proper ascended jewels such as pow, toughness, heal?

I don’t feel like going more than 10 agony resistance because of all those stats I’m leaving in my bag.

Those are minor fixes, don’t expect revamp just like that eh.

Your base damage decrease because it should be compensated by your gear.

Played the whole morning with an axe, no problem whatsoever. fractal or level 25 map. I clearly damaged less in the level 25 map than before, which is just fine to me because I didn’t like 2 shoting things.

Mace as main hand is good for tanking, hardly viable in a pvp fight IMHO.

Though you can always annoy people with that, kind of stunning them every now and then.

Mace as offhand is good yes, if you don’t like whirlwind go for it.

yeah, stopped RvR because of that.

Run 5 minutes, get killed by 3 walking dudes.

Fine, happens.

Come back, take a bus in the teeth. Run again, life 5 minutes and get killed again. Class canon or bunker, when you’re against 5 others you just die.

Or run, and die 200m further.

While I understand ANet position on this, RvR isn’t fun and is bus vs bus 90% of the time if you don’t want to die like an innocent and cute kitten.

Signed.

Make a proper, long and clear patch note please.

Not that much viable.

Many people have condition remover, plus you’ll never have the time to build proper bleeding before getting shot down.

Direct damage is infinitively better.

Though I agree, leap and F1 are a blast.

lLobo.7960:

Wish you could get your minipet to carry the banner for you. It would look great on my quaggan.

Okay now this is like the best idea ever.

Make it happen ANet !

edit : oh and basic control like “follow me” and “stay here little boy”. That’d kick * !

except crafting materials for YOUR crafting job yes, just sell everything, you’ll buy exotic gear when you reach 80 easily

Regen with banner is great eh. Of course you can’t counter DPS burst right in your face, but placing a banner healing 250/300hp every sec in the middle of a room is great.

Or you can also shout if you prefer, heal around 1500/1700 easily, remove condition with soldiers rune etc…

Stop saying reroll guardian, warrior is a very versatil class, fun to play and absolutly acceptable as a support member.

People often tell me shouts/banner/condition removal are very welcome.

When you finish a dungeon with 0 downed and everything went smooth it’s a great satisfaction. You might not DPS like a mad man but you’re condtributing way beyond brute force.

I had fun playing sPvP with a bunker warrior (read PVT).

Though the n°1 rule is to never be alone. Ever.
And rules n°2 and 3 are to never be alone too.

Just be a pain in the kitten for the others and let people that can damage do their job.

And I left bus VS bus a long time ago, it’s all but fun, except roaming.

yeah. You might also notice 360 every 3 sec is the base regen

I was just writting it down here to have all healing capabilities aligned.

But it’s okay

Okay so I tested some more my half-cleric set, though fractal mid-10 and citadel run.

I am NOT going to go full cleric, as the first answer said : you just loose too much (thx olaf).

BUT, I felt in love with warhorn and healing banners, it’s a blast to play, and I changed my char a little to adapt more to the situation.

First off I dropped the mace, I can’t stand that much in front of the mob anymore, so yay to axe and welcome to damage.

Warhorn correctly traited removes a condition every sec and convert it to a boon. A must have. Plus if gives swiftness and gives weakness.

I made my gear so instead of max heal I’m going up to 1016.
I also put a sigil of life (10 heal every kill, so up to 1323)

After doing the math here are the results :
Healing signets : 233-242 /s
Banner : 252-283 /s
Adrenal health : 360 /3s

Runes of the water, healing a little bit more (1200-1320) everyone when i’m healing myself.

Around 25k health and 2800 armor.

I do believe it’s more balanced that way. Going down to 20k life was would have been to low to my taste, and sacrifing even more stats for +heal would be a waste.

So I auto-answer my own question : Not that much viable. 3/5th of the stuff as cleric is good enough, we need the other stats too. I did put some PVT there.

True I had the tactical banner.

Might switch for something more important, but I thought boon duration increased was great combined with dwayna runes.

Tested the build in fractal 10 and I absolutly love it, very fun to play, people love regen and bonus we give.

Sure it’s no DPS monster, but it’s a VERY SOLID support build.

And about shout vs banner, shout scales terribly bad (as said before) with healing power.

With one banner and 1240 healing power it’s about 280 hp /sec.

If you consider one minute of healing :

With 3 shouts (let’s round cooldown to 20s for each), that’s approximatively 2180, so 6540 every 20 sec so 19500 for a minute, considering the fact it takes 3 utility slots and you time them perfectly

One banner with the same amount of healing give 280/s, which give 16800/s.

It’s less, BUT it’s fire and forget, people don’t have the need to be in your shout range, you can keep DPS while healing and you have 2 utilities slot open (looking at you endure pain).

So yeah, globally I very enjoyed that banner session, was kind of reticent at first but it’s very powerfull.

Plus you pick it up, give a small regen or boost or swiftness.

We have a lurker posting here, catch him !

yeah 3/4 sec max, just tested. Great I can have for justice and endure pain then

Hm

I’m going to test it in the mist then.

Thanks guys for your opinion.

made me completly rethink my warrior, now thinking about full cleric/sapphire with mace and warhonr.

Also considering banners. Though Yaki I don’t understand what you mean about banner only taking 1 slot. If I want a perma-regen you need 2, or even 3 banners.

Traited banners (-20% reload time) are 96s ans 192s for the elite. They do last 45s, so you need 3 to complete the 100% regen time, and with 2 and perfect timing you have a 6 second of nothing in the middle.

Was thinking about those utilities :

Endure pain
Defensive banner
Tactical Banner
Elite banner

Too much in your opinion?

Problem with banner is the restrictive zone you need to be in. You can pick it up but i’m not confortable with that.

Hm. I don’t like using banners.
