Guild Wars 2

The game resets my reward track to one i do not wish to complete every time i try to change it. It’s really kittening annoying that i can’t progress where i want to no matter what I try.

Rangers longbow has a trait that allows it to hit “up to 1500 range” but currently can hit at 2,100 range. please fix this as their auto attacks damage increases the further from their target they are.

Hi there,

We want you to know that we’re busy working on fixing bugs in the New Player Experience system. We’re also using this opportunity to make a few changes to its design to take into account the feedback we’ve been reading. We’re aiming to deploy the fixes early next week.

Thank you

Can you fix it so our mini isn’t hidden the same way our skins ect aren’t when we have minimal settings? Really something I’m upset about since the whole mini system barely works anymore

Realist.5812:

Because everyone on Blackgate says they’ve been on Blackgate from day one, that they have never transferred, and aren’t band wagoners.

How do you think BG climbed to T1 originally? Transfers.

How do you think BG started omniblobbing the other T1 servers so hard? Transfers.

Why do you think everyone laughs at BG for being the #1 transfer server? Transfers.

With a server filled with 90% (if not more) transfers, it’s just a hilarious observation that every Blackgate player says they never transferred there.

I’m not originally from BlackGate, I was on TC for a week, when I started BlackGate was full and I transferred over because of my brother and RL friends being on BG. It was also before the server caps were raised and way before season 1.

It would effect every thief skill when you activate one, so it would effect the thief too much. This is why they didn’t do it. I think if it increased the initiative cost on the skill you activated for the duration of chill it would be better.

aDemoNnDisguisE.8576:

BG tears…. so sweet I had better remember to brush my teeth.

Literally my point. I didn’t say anything about matchups, I didn’t conplain about servers, I mentioned attitudes with no specific examples of how the community is bad and getting worse and this is the first response just because I happened to be on a server you don’t like. Now please remove it so this isn’t banned for “match up discussion.” I removed my signature and I didn’t say anything about any specific servers. You are part of the problem.

I am talking about people on the forums not in game, no politics, no servers, no whining about what’s happening in the game.

I can barely call it a community since people are so so hostile. “You are on a server I play against so I hope horrible things happen to you in real life, and you’re worthless.” The main reason A-net doesn’t take us seriously is because the loudest of the people who play WvW are horrible to each other and to the Devs.

Match up threads are banned because of the toxic attitudes some extremely immature players have to throw in because someone flies a different color than they do. On an unofficial forum I saw someone wish a commander from my server get stomach cancer. STOMACH CANCER over a video game, this isn’t even a one time thing, people wish horrendous things to each other constantly over a video game.

We don’t see Devs post here because every time they do they are bombarded with questions they have answered before and with hate messages. Why should they put any time into a part of the game that feels so toxic for the community?

I know it’s a game, maybe I am taking what people say too seriously but they need to think about it as well. It’s a kitten ed game, when you type things there is someone on the other side of the screen. You wouldn’t say these things to someone you are in an elevator with. Stop being so childish and maybe half the threads won’t get locked, people won’t keep re-making things and maybe we will see friendly Devs come back and talk to us about what we want to see happen.

(Grow up these pop up all the time)“This is unfair” we’ve heard it, we don’t care that now you are the victim. “But I don’t like that server” keep it to your kitten self for the same of everyone else. You are loud and you make the rest of us look bad, just leave the rest of us out of it and please grow up, it’s a game, there are other people.

Every server has people who complain, now can we accept that and accept that commanders “leaders” can’t make everyone shut up? It’s not the server complaining it’s the same 5 people.

Yes getting stomped sucks, maybe it’s not fun to lose, but the fights are good and the bags are flowing. I was enjoying this whole situation before my internet was disconnected.

HB from BlackGate is pretty amazing in outnumbered fights.

GoF is great at what we do.

You can now use it underwater. That is all.

I get precursor drops once a week. 2Leet.

Warriors

Healing Signet: Grants regeneration.
Suggestion: Grants 3sec regeneration when you attack. Stack up to 3 sec.

So cut Healing Signet from 370 hp/s to … 130 hp/s?

In case you missed it, the point with a Warrior is to have defenses without having defensive boons. Warriors instead get the best access to offensive boons like Might and Fury.

You can argue all day that “every other profession is making due without 370 hp/s passive healing”, but if you look into what every other profession gets, you’ll see plenty of Regeneration, Protection, Aegis, Blind, Evade or… Stealth. Warrior won’t be getting the first three because those are for Guardians and I doubt anyone wants Warriors to have ample access to Blinds, Evade or Stealth.

The issue with Healing Signet is not that the passive is too strong, it’s that there is literally no reason to use the active, this is something even the developers acknowledge. So please, shut up about Healing Signet until they change the active.

Last Stand: Negates the control effect and activates Balanced Stance.
Suggestion: Activates Balanced Stance after the 1st CC disappear.

Seriously? People actually think Last Stand is OP? Did you, like, actually look at what it’s competing against? Defense is absolutely full of traits better than Last Stand. Out of the four Master traits, two are far, far more popular and useful than Last Stand.

What I got from it wasn’t that it was OP but that it’s lazily passive. All he suggests is that something active be done to reap the benefits like all the other classes.

If that was his point, he would have suggested that the Signet grant its healing effect while in combat. Instead he changed it to Regeneration, which is 130 hp/s instead of 370 hp/s and can be ripped, stolen or converted to a condition. That is a massively inferior situation.

Oh and btw, Signet of Rage already has a passive that works only while in combat so that’s not exactly a new thing either.

I want HS to be on hit. Signet of malice is 130-160 HP per HIT so it’s only useful while staying engaged, unlike HS which is useful while running away ect.

Maugetarr.6823:

Wow. Someone came to the same conclusions I did. Glad you already did some testing on it too though!

I did too! Except 5/6/0/3/0

Add me I’m not the best but I’m pretty good.

Yes I do main a thief. Yes I utilize 3 skills out of the D/D weapon set and I do go into stealth. No I don’t have a problem with other thiefs on my thief or otherwise. I play Knights meditation guardian, Glass thief, Knights/soldiers power Necro and glass Ele. And I DO NOT have a problem fighting thiefs because I know how they move.

Play a thief in SPVP for one week using common builds found on the forums, just TRY it and you will see how they play, or watch guides on how many people play them. Stealth movements are EASY to predict. You will know when they are coming and what they are going to do if you have a brain.

You can not stop an invisible thief from running away though. They have the best movement and you can’t follow them easy. Personally I would be fine with getting revealed when using an attack, actually I support that. It’ll cut thief numbers down by removing some bad ones.

He is right about managing initiative. A thief can NOT use 2,3,4,5 swap weapons and use 2,3,4,5 like other classes even with MAX initiative regeneration. So we repeat use of our hardest hitting skills, because we need to stay competitive. Yes some of our attacks evade, so do a lot of other classes attacks.

Also I can CnD off of stealthed thieves.
And if someone beats me I won’t run off, yes I die unless I’m fighting someone and see other enemies coming.

Sandpit.3467:

Just get rid of the stealth mechanic and thieves will be fine. Worst game mechanic ever. In a straight fight it’s a two player game where only one player is allowed to play.

LOL. Take away the only survivability a thief has and it’ll be fine. Also take away it’s highest damaging hit, second best heal, and half of it’s overall utility and it’ll be perfectly balanced. They would need to give us other things it wouldn’t just be “fine”.

BT and HB are probably the best I’ve seen.

Berelious.3290:

Visit the black lion armor specialist in any racial city and ask about town clothes. You’ll want to do this with every character you have just in case you have something else on them.

Thank you!

Maybe like 5 new maps and EB and it randomly picks 3 each week for the home maps, the new maps and the standard BL that is around now in a RNG so that maybe even 2 of the maps will be the same.

No it doesn’t. It’s a utility weapon and a multi target weapon. It isn’t made for 1v1s. Not every weapon is good at everything, the GS is mobility, evades and cleave it doesn’t need to do the damage axe will.

I had the drill town clothes thing and can’t find it anywhere.

Lockon.5312:

Its been past 8 months since I last logged into the game. Today I decided to play again and one thing that I have noticed is the decrease of Gold gain in dungeons. Back then running dungeons was a great thing to do but now at most you’d get 1 Gold Secured per run ( not including the other items such as drops etc ) at most you’d really just get 2g or less per run.

I feel awkward asking or even saying this but what or how do you gain gold ( not by buying from other people ) in this game at the current time? ANET seems to be removing a lot of the Gold Sink ( minus the Trade Post registration fee ) but there’s no clear window as to where would one get their gold from. I’m not asking for a place or what not where you’d get rich almost instantly but what I want to know is how does one earn gold in this game now that ANET just keeps hammering and stomping areas where players would get gold legitimately ?

I make about 10g a frac run. 24-30g selling spots in Arah paths. Play the TP there are tons of guides out there.

MrPersons.1560:

Algreg.3629:

there are still ways to farm items and money in game, some even better than the trains. The only things that have been nerfed are champ trains (and not all of them as the few coins in bags weren´t the big thing) and dye daytrading/gambling. People will flock to other pastures and continue to generate gold and items.

may I ask what those are? trains were already a slow way of income, dungeons are okay, but they take a long time for 1-3 gold, and I don’t log on to GW to mess with stock prices like EVE.

Farm t6 mats or get a level 40-60 and farm linen.

I’m fine with BP+HS getting changes but how did this turn into a “ruin thiefs” thread?

TheGuy.3568:

You really only have one choice and that is to accept that thieves are thieves. A class like this should have never even made it into the game (both for its’ short comings and OP features), but it is too late now. Complaining for a year has amounted to a hill of nerfs most pointless or making under utilized skills UP (see pistol whip, dancing daggers, cluster bomb, PD thief condition variety, underwater combat, caltrops and AOE). Fact is as of this moment thief stealth is out of hand and there are no plans to change this.

However, if you roam with a zerg this issue means little to nothing to you. A thief in zerg is a class that does very little DPS at range and is semi useless to zerg. You may say on demand blast finishers what have you but fact is in a zerg a hammer warrior, guardian, even a nades engineer is infinitely more useful. Lets not forget about keep defense and taking keeps. A good mesmer, necro, staff ele, and those mentioned above will be more useful. A thief may chose to debate. That thief will be wrong. This is nigh absolute (there are cases where a thief stealthing a mesmer into deeper parts of a keep cna help a portal “bomb”).

What we are talking about here is solo and small group roaming. Where a class with superior mobility and gap closing skills also has stealth which in many 0 30 30 10 0 builds give you access to a stupid amount of both burst DPS and healing. While not giving up your get out of jail free cards.

To any thieves who feel they can get fancy quips off I have to ask do you realize the class you play? Much like DD ele (once upon a time), mesmer, and guardian you play a class that duels well. Among all the classes in WvW not only do you duel well but you roam well. No matter how skilled you think you are or leet you do play a class that relies on a crutch to get wins. There is no skill to it. You may dig at other players for dying to thieves but truth is in many cases there is no other choice. It is not a skill issue its a mechanics gap issue. No one is going to fix it. Stealth has been deemed nigh untouchable by the devs. While you revel in the fact and pick off classes that can not deal with you remember. As one of the skilled players of this game you jumped on the bandwagon class and actually tried to brag and put other players down. there is no counter for a “good” thief. They will always pull off a win or push a draw.

I said my piece.

For zergs use a full cleric venom share thief. Blasting water is a full heal for everyone in your party, maybe the whole Zerg as well as them getting access to all of your other heals from venom sharing. #1 support class in-game.

EZ mode class- allows bad players to feel like they can compete.

Put the same player on a warrior/guardian, and see how good they are in open field without stealth. TERRIBLE.

Nice troll comparing Thief to Guardian (aka the most carried class in the game) give a Guardian a hammer and a staff and they will not die. I’m almost always the last man standing on my guard, because all I have to do when my low is hit staff 4 and I’m good as new. How’s that? I don’t even need stealth to reset the fight.

Mhmm if he was a troll then why didn’t you respond to his warrior comment? Oh wait..he’s right..

Oh really now? Wanna open that can of worms do ya? Okay I’ll bite.
Even though Warriors are bottom in TPvP, they’ve overall still got it better than theives, trumping even the Guardian in PvE, and being overall more useful in WvW. Name one role besides Solo roaming in WvW where thieves are actually wanted?
GW2 is a game for teamplay, and thief is always near the bottom in any team situation.
In fact, if you took solo roaming from thieves, they would be the bar none worst class in the game.
In any case, he invalidated his point by stating the number one most requested class across all modes isn’t easy mode. The class I’ve actually heard brag that they can afk fights. The class that’s welcome in almost every party in every mode. A class that I’ve played and never felt challenged in the slightest on. I mean seriously, of Guardians found a good roaming build, that’d be it, there’d be absolutely no reason to role any class other then a Guardian.

Sword torch/ hammer meditation guardian in knights and zerkers mix. 0/20/30/20/0. I have 6 heals 4 burst skills 2 gap closers a good amount of CC. Whisper me in-game and I’ll help you set up if you like.

So true!

Not true. I main a D/D thief and I play a guardian extremely well, to the point where I won a 1v4 as a guardian. There was a thief in the mix as well but they ran off so I only killed 3. Thiefs are easy to kill if you know the class, how it plays ect, you know where they will be. For the record I used sword torch hammer Medi in knights/zerk mix armor with runes of the Wurm.

ProRulez.5207:

Honestly, everybody thinks that guards are balanced compared to other profession, but hell no, think about it:
10,800 base health, while warrior got 19k if im right (maybe 20k not sure).
lower mobility than warrior (lowest mobility in the game except mesmer but mesmer is ranged anyway..).
warriors got more condi/cc removal.
people say guards got nice survivability.. yeah only if you put all your traits into vit and tough.
If youre playing guardian, get used to the fact that you will never ever chase down any other class, if mesmer runs away, you might be able to, but you will run kind of same speed, and untill you get him with greatsword 3, you will find yourself at huge enemy zerk already.
Wish i could change class right now and keep gear beacause guards lack almost everything, yeah we got some support, but it doesnt cover the downsides.

the funny part, its the only class i enjoy playing.
try it out maybe you still like it.

Necros have the worst mobility. Just saying.

Deli.1302:

1)You are not standing on tag…. tsk tsk
2)You have an up level in your party
3)Party members not using food/wrench
4)Despite just attacking a gate, no one in your party has the guard stacks…. something is wrong
4)You don’t own bloodlust… what happened to the famed BG roamers?
5)You are using that god awful selfish signet utility instead of using something more beneficial for your team
6)Renewed Focus instead of the far superior Tome Of Courage
7)Nice FoV
8)“we have 68 people i say we karma train dn flip everything tonight lol”
9)The mini map says “Sunnyhill” for some strange reason

Did I miss anything?

Why not flip everything when we have the forces? Karma train is just a term for doing just that.

Hayashi.3416:

Phantasm sword-mesmers can kill thieves. Phantasms target-lock, and the swordsmen jump away after each hit so the stealth AoE blind is useless.

Every time they destealth they take an instant 8000-14000 damage without the mesmer actually doing anything else. Stealth also does not break the phantasm interrupt-cast.

The one-hit wonder elementalist build can kill anything if you don’t avoid its attack. It’s pretty much a guaranteed 24,000+ damage on zerk thieves. Elementalists with any survivability stat however, have no chance. But those die to everything else in a 1v1 of equal skill anyway so it’s more an issue of Elementalists being weak in 1v1 pvp content.

Condition rangers can kill thieves; the backstab does negligible damage against full Dire. Power rangers are just asking to die. To pretty much anything.

Necros can Fear thieves out of stealth and condition-blast it to death before its Revealed status can fade.

Bomb engineers kill them very easily because approaching a bomb engineer to melee it is asking for death in 3 seconds.

Warriors can kill thieves if they spot them first, and then use Kill Shot for a guaranteed one shot kill if the thief doesn’t evade. If the Kill Shot fails, the warrior dies unless the thief is really, really bad.

Of course, thieves can kill other thieves.

In short: Only guardians can’t. There are guardians the thieves can’t kill but those can’t kill the thieves either; it’s a permanent stalemate.

The thing about thieves is not that they’re necessarily that strong in 1v1, but that using stealth they can force a 1v1 even when outnumbered all the time. Against players who don’t know how to counter stealth, it’s a death sentence. If a group has 4 warriors then without a doubt all 4 will die one by one unless the thief fails.

There are hackers of course. And yes, you can’t kill them, of course. That has nothing to do with the class though…

Try a Power Medi guardian they kill thiefs so easy it isn’t funny. I main a thief so maybe that’s why I can kill them. Killing thiefs is a L2P issue.

I would like to put a list together of each major guild in the gold league servers because of all the switching around lately and would like a place to better keep track of who is where. Any contributions would be great.

apriores.4926:

This game consists on too much loading screens and if you don’t have an i3 or i5, you need to wait a lot just for that. I consider that having a mount would give so many players a pleasure to explore the world without using WP’s for short distances.
Besides that, a mount could offer to all professions in game an equal mobility, as for now, an elementalist with teleport and FGS can run two times more faster than a necormancer. Personaly, this is one of the major reasons I play a high mobility profession when it comes to World Bosses and Events.
In addition, a mount combat system will be great in GW2, I’m sure about that.
Don’t need to mention again about Gem store profitability.

Only if the mount combat is limited to underwater.

xoxo.5429:

ok guys so i decided start new topic cause i think im not the only one that loved if they put mounts in game, i dont mean try to make this game like others mmo’s but u guys need to recognize, mounts are great and super usefull tell me your feedback, peace

No. This comes up once a week and It isn’t happening. Just clogs up the forums, go play a game with mounts. And INSTANT travel is much nicer than mounts, we don’t need more effects everywhere either. Mounts would be slower than my thief too so no.

Malchior.5732:

So I’ve never actually completed Arah(last attempt failed at Lupicus), but I really want to learn the best methods, and more importantly, I want to learn how to solo Arah p2.
The skipping parts seem annoying, but nothing I can’t do.
The first boss seems pretty easy for the most part with careful positioning.
Lupicus however, I couldn’t even beat with 4 other people.
My problem when fighting Lupicus(after many failed attempts in a group, I told them to let me try soloing for fun) was that his kicks in phase 1 were pretty much instant and they would one-shot me in full zerker gear. I actually managed to get him down to phase 2 by myself, but failed in my rotations and died. Other than that, his near-instant attacks in phase 3 also one-shotted me and the death bubble was pretty difficult to escape without a full endurance bar.

My question to the Elementalist community: What gear should I use to solo Arah p2/Lupicus? What can I do against those near-instant attacks? What tells should I watch out for? While we’re at it, can you guys explain the other bosses as well?

I kinda just wanna do this for fun, not really for selling. Maybe I’d invite guild members or friends before the final boss, but overall this is just a personal accomplishment. Any tips?

Other people have mentioned the kicks “tells” but they are wrong. He moves his left arm closer to his torso just before the kick. It’s hard to see but you will get the hang of it.

If you are NA I’ll join you on a run and let you watch while I take down lupi so you can see the animations better. I am NOT an Ele though.

I’ll sell them my necromancers name. Lol. Same as my account name.

Shortbow, signet of malice, dagger storm. It’s easy. With lyssa runes the Condis from during dagger storm go away and it clears them ALL. Short bow auto as well clears em quick.

CrimsonNeonite.1048:

D/P is not easy to Counter with S/D that is. I’d perhaps use up a Slot for Devourer Venom along with Basilisk as a counter, while making sure they can’t land a backstab if they enter Stealth.

I pretty much feel safe with S/P along with Sleight of hand which messes up their combinations and uses up their Init, that’s the key to beating many Thieves who aren’t all that as they think they are with Stealth.

I won a 2v1 with SD vs DP thiefs. They liked to backstab at the same time so I got twice as much out of my evades. I guess I won because they were stupid though, but DP is extremely predictable and the movement SD gives you will let you completely destroy them.

goldenwing.8473:

The “guild wars” has more to do with lore than player group PvP. Please see the GW2 wiki for more information.

As to where actual GvG might be occurring: Obsidian Sanctum, the PvP Jump Puzzle appears to be the place. Good luck with that. It also happens to be the place griefers/gankers strive to appear skilled at the moment.

Sorry I PVP in a PVP area but it’s the most common place to find 1-2 people and not get run over by 20. I don’t SPVP because it’s stupid with the low crit cap and inability to use gear you worked for.

MiLkZz.4789:

I have 5 lvl 80s aswel, only know to play 3 at a high level. I have dueled a lot and my playtime is now closing in to 4k hours (I don’t do PvE). I have many discussions with highly skilled players asking for their opinion and views on different situations and I’ll list a few of our conclusions. Warning, might be a long read. Might contain spelling mistakes, can’t be bothered to reread the thing. Sorry that it takes so long, just my take on ingame balance for WvW.

Classes I know to play are guardian, warrior and engineer. So I start of with these.

-Guardian
The guardian is indeed a really balanced profession, they offer great group support and can be both build to tank as to deal damage. The meditation guard is really strong for roaming but is difficult to play. It survives by utilizing your blinds and blocks on the right times. But if you can pull this off, he is enourmously strong with some big burst too. In the right hands he’ll rarely lose a 1vs1. Mobility can be complained about, but he uses teleports which are instant. The only thing lacking is the movement speed buff. Guardian can maybe use some small tweeks but that is it. They are in a perfect spot.

-Warrior
I am not going to lie, this is the class I main and know inside and out. The warrior is a know it all at the moment. They got good roaming/ condi/ zerging/ tanking/ DPS/ support builds. That is why I have 10 armor sets and over 30 weapons on him. This makes it hard to counter a warrior as the build diversity is enourmous. But against what many think, every build has its trade offs and weaknesses. I rarely lose to another warrior (on any class) because I can identify their build quite fast by playing defensively in the beginning to see what they got and go offensive as soon as I know, abusing their weaknesses.

Most warrior builds still have as greatest weakness conditions. Pretty much ALL roamers only use cleansing ire to remove conditions. Using shouts and/or warhorn to remove conditions will greatly cut your DPS. Cleansing ire is amazingly easy to counter as their are only 2 skills you have to dodge which are all enourmously telegraphed. 40% condi duration food and well times slows roots will make sure the warrior can’t escape and will melt without dealing damage to you. But enough on this.

Changes I could see on a warrior are a cleansing ire CD of 7s to balance out the condi removal of hambow warriors in PvP and a nerf to Rush (GS 5) to 900 units instead of the current 1200. That is all. Warriors really don’t have the greatest mobility ingame, thiefs still win. I once raced a thief and went a kittened build to gain max mobility and the thief still won. So please stop complaining about these broscience claims. An average warrior build out there has average mobility aswel. But again enough about this, I can elaborate more and sum up more tactics to kill warriors but that would make this post too long.

-Engineer
Enourmously strong dueling class and even has a few (tho limited) builds for zerging and GvGing. A perplexity engi can kill multiple foes solo and his condi spam is the 2nd best ingame. He is tricky to catch, lacks a few stunbreakers imo. But he has a decently tanky nature and can be build to 100% destroy hambow warriors. Engi is enourmously versatile and can adept to pretty much any situation. I love roaming with this class. Only thing this class needs is maybe making few power builds more viable and some trait fixes as some are utter crap. But I really think this class still has some supprises and secrets hidden away in their traits. I am sure not everyting has been tried yet.

-Thief
Class I know the best from fighting against them, they have an enourmous variaty of builds. This is most likely the #1 dueling class (only other contender is the mesmer). Probably also the only class that should have a 90%+ winrate against warriors. Only downside is that a bad thief can perform well by resetting fights, only good thiefs can kill. But a thief played on high skilllevel should win pretty much every 1vs1. Evade spam and blind/stealth spam thiefs might be borderline OP against power builds. But I see them as a fair counter as a condi necro probably will take them down. Thiefs are good in zergs hunting down the enemy range, ye they suck in tagging a lot of enemies and barely can stay alive in the melee train. But this ain’t their job and were never meant to do this. I don’t think there is a lot wrong with thief. Maybe few tweaks to the evade spam ones (s/d, shortbow) so you have more chance to kill them. But again only the really well played ones are pretty much unkillable and probably deserve it. Bad thiefs are a joke to kill.

I can command on my thief, I use soldiers of melandru with SB and Signet of Malice
Dagger storm when at low health. Commanding is easy on thiefs believe it or not.

Mbelch.9028:

Lol at Deany.

I have 5 80s, working on the last three slowly (They nerfed craft leveling.)

I think mobility is the king. If you’re not mobile, you’re nothing in an outnumbered situation.

I think that’s what makes warriors so great at the moment. They have great mobility. I don’t think they should be nerfed even (just GS rush). I think other classes like necro should be brought up to join them. (I do not play necro).

I think this should bring into account balance. You should spec for more mobility at a cost of some of your fighting ability. Don’t ask me how, it’s just an opinion.

Before I say what I say next I’d like to note that I am a roamer in wvw. I never run with more than 15, and even then that high of a number is a rare occasion. I prefer 5 mans or duo roaming. I enjoy solo roaming when people leave me alone lol.

So I’d like to say the health of roamer classes based on my perspective is Warrior>Thief>Ele/Ranger/Engineer>Mesmer/Guardian>Necro.

That’s where I believe the overall health is at, but I will also say conditions have an unhealthy position at the moment. They’re far too strong in a solo/small team position, yet far too weak in zergs. That needs to be addressed, as classes that downright shouldn’t touch condi specs are trying conditions out and sticking with them (for roaming and dueling.)

My best,
Nex

Id have to disagree Warrior=Thief/Engi/Mes/Ele=Guard/Necro=Ranger is my opinion.

Julie Yann.5379:

They should just remove the thief from the game. No more spammable cheese builds, everyone gets to fight on a level playing field and Anet doesn’t have to waste resources trying to balance an incredibly broken mechanic. It’s a win fro everyone.

While they’re at it, remove every class except warrior. That way the skill level will be minimal and those who spent months perfecting their builds even after constant nerfs can feel like it lead somewhere.

No, just thieves will do.

I can’t beat thiefs remove them! Initiative is no different than mana. Quit kittening it’s annoying.

If you aren’t good with a weapon set that doesn’t mean it’s bad. I consistently win 3v1’s with DD.

Hello. In this topic we can discuss everything around the “world transfer”. What is your opinion? At which server you are going to transfer (if you like to)? Why you would do that? And because i feel like going to another server suggest me some servers and guild in it. Thank you!

Here’s an idea, randomly throw us all onto different servers every month…..as far as wanting to move, all servers have the same issues if these forums are any indication.

No. That would be horrendous for organization in WvW and it would destroy WvW guilds in general. You’re not looking at it from every perspective. Entirely destroying the WvW strategy, guilds, organization ect just so PVE isn’t as bad, maybe, doesn’t seem like a fair trade off to me.

Nice video.

I like that you put in some matches where you lost. Usually these things just have people winning all the time, but it’s possible to have very entertaining fights in which you end up losing. I though the one where you killed the downed ele to rally was probably one of the best to watch.

Also, at the 12:30 mark, you used renewed focus but your virtues didn’t recharge. What was up with that?

I’ve wanted to try a meditation build for awhile but don’t feel like getting new gear right now. Do you ever try litany of wrath? I’d really like for it to work, but it only seem like it would if the cast time was really short or instant.

EDIT: In regards to the 12:30 mark, it looks like you weapon swapped at the end of renewed focus, which seems to have somehow prevented the virtue recharge but also put renewed focus on full cooldown. I guess I’ll go make a bug post about it… in the meantime, I guess it’s something you’ll just have to be careful not to do because that could really screw you over.

I’ve run meditation builds with Soldiers of the Eagle, Knights with ruby orbs and Berserkers of the Wurm gear. All worked extremely well.

I’ve seen many posts about how thiefs need more balance in PVP and PVE. I have devised a completely fair and well balanced build for everyone!
14/14/14/14/14 seems to be an obvious choice for balance, but where to go from there? Celestial armor and weapons of course! Now about our runes, as everyone knows runes can perfect or break a build so we have to go with the most balanced ones in the game, runes of divinity! +10 to all stats? Yes please! I think this build will revolutionize thiefs and stop the complaining on the forums! Finally we will be a class anyone can enjoy weather playing with or against one of us!

This is courtesy of another thief on the forums. I think we have finally found a fair build for everyone guys!

I was hoping for more responses

Delivering death, swift and clean, you try to fight back but I remain unseen.

I only go in ascended gear, if you run fractals your answer is clear.

Agony (resistance)? Seems too easy though…

Yes but those were supposed to be two different ones and I’m not good at these.

Perhaps one day I’ll be proven wrong, but I’m pretty sure nothing’s actually being reported when you report people. It’s more than likely either entirely automated (with an extremely inefficient system) or just a GUI that was implemented to make you feel like they care about the problems that occur regularly ingame.

As we all can plainly see when it comes to dungeons, they don’t give a kitten. Not one single bit.

I’ve had multiple names banned…

PvP: Thief
PvE: Thief
WvW: Thief and Necro tied
