necro is pretty much balanced right now… it isn’t too bad or too good
It certainly would be interesting though if untargeted dark path teleported… necro would actually gain decent mobility
immob and chill are condi not cc
Supply drop is the only cc in this build and it’s on a 180 second cooldown
I can’t tell if op is trolling but… some notes
-warrior is severely under powered in tpvp right now… it has always struggled with livability, and since the quickness nerf it’s extremely difficult to set up high dps spikes (100blades)
-Dps guardians are usually not a threat unless you spike right into their retal and they can easily be countered by good sustain or condition/boon removal
-Bunker guardians have almost no damage
-D/D ele is indeed very strong if played right(probably the strongest build in the current meta), but can be countered by dodging burning speeds and condi loading
-Hgh engi is probably the best duelist right now, but if you died to poison after the engi died you really need to run a condi remover/good heal… devs have said that this is getting nerfed though so don’t worry engis will soon be completely useless
Many of these things you just need to learn through playing, but you might also want to consider rerolling to another class because of the state warriors are in…
Try checking out the streams thread that is stickied in this section, watch some high level players, and decide on what class you want to roll
lollll so gooooddddd
have you seen star wars or star trek?
Well this is eu meta and we’re past that…. one two three four quadrillion lightyears ahead

I was thinking about what you said I decided to see how many skills any class has and why its far too much to balance.
Lets take a ranger for example, you have;
10 weapon skills, a heal, 3 utilities, an elite and 3 for pet (swap and both “skills” they have) giving you 18
then 4 for downed
4 for underwater downed
10 weapons for underwater combat
Giving you overall 36 abilities that you could use. Add in the weapons you are not using and that number is nearing and over 50 for most classes.
Lets say 50 is a nice average for all classes. So 50×8=400
400 skills to balance out, which is FAR FAR FAR too many.
Scrap downed in all situations. just get rid of it, it should never have been in the game to begin with. You would still have a large number to deal with, but at least it would be a start. If in the future things are more balanced, then they can add them in slowly to make sure you dont end up with a mess.
Thats the entire problem with PVP, far too many things to be balanced. Always start simple and build upon a solid core. Instead we have a cluster of madness and the sort of balance that Charles Manson has mentally.
I completely disagree with this. The majority of skills already have a lot of balance, and there are far fewer skills than in gw1 even. In addition, the suggestion of removing downed state is awful; it’s one of the most interesting elements of combat and pvp gameplay.
@sataar. Khalifa, and anybody else involved in this argument.
A little fun and games but you don’t have to be a pro to see the line has been crossed. I love you guys but let’s get back to the topic at hand… EU vs NA
As a NA player I would love to see some showmatches between the top teams. I think it’d be a lot of fun, help build the community and hell we might all learn a thing or two we might not have realized before about gw2. And that goes for both regions.
+1
I will preface this argument by stating that most classes have, what can be generally considered, and overpowered build.
Guardian Bunkers a nigh unkillable by single players,
Elementalist D/D builds have extreme survivability and mobility,
Mesmers could/can deal incredible burst damage and have the best support abilities,
Warriors have their Stun + 100 Blades combo,
etc. etc.Granted, not all are equally OP but I dare say every profession has something (except Rangers) that makes them seem/feel overpowered in certain situations.
And yet despite that, the Thief professions receives by far the most complaints.
Incidentally high-rated players will probably tell you that Thieves probably aren’t the pinnacle of OPness, unlike what the forums might suggest.
I think the crucial difference as to why Thieves receive so much more complaints than all other professions combined is because they simply aren’t fun to play against
While a Bunker Guardian may be unbeatable and an Elementalist uncatchable both professions will give the other player the option to fight back. There may even be a little too and fro giving the contender at least the impression he has a real chance.
With Thieves however, especially the Backstab builds, things are over so quickly it doesn’t leave much room for combat dynamics to evolve. There’s no too and fro, no exchange of abilities. Instead the situation is very binary 90% of the time. Either your survived the opening burst and drove away the Thief or you didn’t and died.
That’s the crucial difference. And that’s also the reason why P/D Stealth builds receive less hate than the burst builds, despite being arguably more powerful than those. Because at least P/D Thieves give you combat choices and a chance to fight back.
I believe the solution to the Thief balancing issue is finding a way to make Thieves more fun to play against.
just make it so he cant go stealth when ever they want and that would fix everything, its not that they deal so much dmg is that it all happens while they r invis which is the big problem..
Stop QQ’ing about thieves — they’re pretty balanced atm
Ok that’s a joke. If you’re running a decent shatter build you know that your burst is crazy. A good shatter mesmer can’t lose in a 1v1 unless he gets hard outplayed. Besides, mesmer portal lets you 5v4 at mid while still holding backpoint and time warp is a teamfight autowin. While I like the place mesmer is at right now (although portal and timewarp could use some small nerfing) it’s awful to suggest that mesmer is in any way underpowered.
The whole debate has very little to do with the thread though.
Portal has been nerfed (limit # of uses to prevent entire zergs from using it in WvW). And as a mesmer I think that a lot too about timewarp… cuz I am just sitting there auto attacking and the radius of the circle is HUGE! plus it stacks confusion… Im not asking for it but I can see them taking the duration down some.
That nerf doesn’t really apply in sPVP
It may not… but i am just saying that yes it has been nerfed… Maybe not how YOU specifically want it but it is there….
why even bring it up then? We’re talking about spvp, and for spvp’ers portal is the same as ever
hearing that a certain natural kitten got banned for inappropriate language?
Warrior op, please nerf after you finish nerfing engi
How long did it take you to get your hair that long and lustrous?
Well thanks for making the thread blinx… I guess I’ll post since I need a team :p
D for Daggers r34 16 qp (so low ;[ ) Main on ele and situationally a burster, but also decent (I’d like to think) mes
Hopefully this helps at least a few people find teams… anything to get more tourneys and more competition

he’s like samson… his mesmer skill comes from his hair
rapunzel, rapunzel let down your hair
Even though the motivations behind this post are bad, I agree with the concept.
It’s your fault if you turn off the filter.
this kitten needs more attention- strong dps with good survivability
Even na vs eu is better than this trashing.
More rahrah nascar please.
